Chapter 22 What, are you afraid I'll die?

Shen Li's heartbeat seemed to stop for a moment, and her breathing also stopped.

How... is that possible?

"No..." Shen Li shook her head gently and muttered to herself.

Quickly zoom in on that photo in the screenshot!

It looks much clearer when zoomed in.

The man's white shirt was stained with intense crimson blood.

Not only that, but looking at the photos, even his face and neck were covered in scarlet blood!

Shen Li had no idea when her fingers had started trembling so badly.

She is a ceramic artist, and her hands are always incredibly steady. She can sculpt subtle textures on delicate pottery and paint intricate patterns on it.

But at that moment her hands were shaking so badly that she could barely hold the phone!

Shen Li clenched her fingers tightly, trying to steady herself, before carefully examining the text in the screenshot.

The words, like insects with legs, were crawling densely, impossible to see.

Even though my eyes can see clearly, I can't seem to understand the content.

Shen Li felt as if she were submerged in water, struggling to breathe. Her vision seemed blurry, and she could only make out a few keywords with difficulty.

'Temporary factory inspection', 'mechanical malfunction', 'cutterhead flying off', 'carotid artery', 'seriously injured', 'critical', 'rescue'

Shen Li blinked, then blinked again, but the words still looked like wriggling worms.

It's impossible to see clearly.

But even just seeing these keywords is enough to convey the message.

As warm liquid dripped down, Shen Li finally understood why her eyes couldn't see clearly; it turned out that her vision was blurred by tears.

Shen Li took a deep breath, rubbed her eyes hard, grabbed her phone, and rushed out of the room.

They drove at breakneck speed from the town all the way to the county seat.

Shen Li's heart was pounding wildly!

If he hadn't learned from Qu Xiang that Lu Yanchuan had inquired about her whereabouts...

Shen Li felt that she probably wouldn't feel that bad.

An impromptu factory inspection...

The headquarters of the Lu family is located in Jiangcheng, and the factories under the Lu family are located in third-tier cities and counties like Lancheng.

There was absolutely no need for Lu Yanchuan to make a special trip to inspect the area.

Maybe...maybe it's because she came to Lancheng that he came over and took the opportunity to visit the factory.

That's why this accident happened!

Shen Li drove fast and arrived at the hospital in no time.

I tried calling Lu Yanchuan and Zhou Yan the whole way, but I couldn't get through.

The phone calls were all constantly busy, most likely because after this incident, they couldn't keep up with all the calls from different parties.

Shen Li couldn't break through at all.

She parked the car haphazardly in the parking space and rushed into the emergency room.

Shen Li rushed to the emergency room triage desk.

Having witnessed so much of the emergency room's condition, the nurses remained relatively calm.

"Factory! Factory machinery accident! Where are the people who were brought in for emergency treatment?"

Shen Li's face was pale, her throat tightened, and her voice trembled.

She stared intently at the nurse, afraid of hearing any bad answer.

Upon hearing this, the nurse looked up at her, her expression becoming serious and solemn.

Upon seeing the nurse's expression, Shen Li's face turned even paler.

"The injured person had no vital signs when they were brought in. Please accept our condolences."

"What...?" Shen Li opened his mouth, but couldn't utter a normal sound.

Only two hollow, breathy sounds remained, which sounded quite pitiful.

"Let me take you there," the nurse said.

Shen Li's mind went blank, and she followed the nurse forward with unsteady steps.

Although the emergency room was noisy, Shen Li seemed to hear nothing else.

All that remained was the feeling of being pushed underwater, and everything around me became a blurry syllable.

Shen Li didn't know where the nurse was taking her; she just dragged her feet and followed along.

After turning the corner, they arrived at the corridor where the observation ward was located, and the nurse led her through the corridor.

But Shen Li's gaze suddenly stopped.

I saw Zhou Yan making a phone call outside an observation ward.

Zhou Yan kept his head down, his expression serious, his brows furrowed, and he was speaking on the phone in a very low voice. He didn't even notice Shen Li at all.

Shen Li was startled. She took a few steps forward and pushed open the door to the observation ward.

Zhou Yan was taken aback and looked at her, "Madam? What's wrong...?"

Shen Li had already entered the observation ward.

The environment in the emergency observation ward of a regular hospital is naturally not very good.

A curtain was drawn in front of the hospital bed.

Shen Li's fingers trembled slightly as she reached out and slowly pulled the curtain open.

On the hospital bed, the man sat with his back to the door, putting on a new shirt.

His well-defined, muscular body was still stained with dried blood.

He kept his head down, buttoning his shirt.

Hearing the sound of the curtain being pulled open behind him, Lu Yanchuan said in a low voice, "Zhou Yan, get me a room nearby. I need to take a shower. I feel terrible covered in blood."

However, Lu Yanchuan did not receive a response from Zhou Yan behind him.

He then turned his gaze.

Then I saw the woman standing there.

Her face was as pale as paper.

She was still wearing the clothes she hadn't had time to change out of when she went to the mining area yesterday.

The mining area is very dusty, and it's inevitable that your clothes will get covered in dust.

They look travel-worn at this moment.

She stood there, staring intently at him.

Lu Yanchuan saw her large, red eyes, which were filled with tears.

For no apparent reason, my heart skipped a beat.

His brow furrowed slightly involuntarily.

Lu Yanchuan had never seen Shen Li's tears.

This woman appears more delicate than a flower, yet she is stronger than a cattail.

Over the years, I've suffered a lot in this marriage.

But Lu Yanchuan had almost never seen Shen Li shed tears.

Lu Yanchuan glanced at her out of the corner of his eye and saw that Shen Li was still holding onto the curtain.

The slight trembling of the curtain was enough to reveal her state of mind at that moment.

The nurse's voice came from the doorway, "Hey, this isn't the right place, you've come to the wrong place, I'll take you to the front..."

Before she could finish speaking, the nurse saw the situation between Shen Li and Lu Yanchuan.

They realized what was happening.

He suddenly realized and said, "Oh my! You're looking for this person? I thought you were looking for the deceased who couldn't be saved! I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry, you must have been scared?"

Hearing the nurse's words, it wasn't hard to guess what was going on.

When Lu Yanchuan spoke, his voice was inexplicably low and hoarse, "What? Afraid I'll die?"

Shen Li couldn't say a word.

She turned around abruptly, raised her hand to cover her eyes, and her shoulders trembled slightly.

He couldn't utter a single word for a long time.

Lu Yanchuan sat on the hospital bed, watching her thin shoulders tremble slightly.

His eyes grew increasingly deep.

Zhou Yan also came in, apologizing repeatedly, "I'm so sorry, Madam, you must have been frightened. It all happened so suddenly, I was busy taking all sorts of calls. So I might not have been able to answer your call, I'm really sorry."

Shen Li slowly recovered.
