Song Qingyou was born with a beautiful bone structure, her appearance captivating and renowned throughout the capital. However, she had been sickly since childhood, like a precious porcelain doll, ...
"Hello, do you know Xu Qingran?"
Just a few words, but Song Qingyou thought she had misheard. She was a smart person and could quickly connect all the dots in this situation.
Her expression darkened, and her voice was low and cold: "Is it... a hospital?"
"Yes." The other party immediately explained their purpose: "We are from the emergency room of the First People's Hospital of the city. We just brought in a patient who jumped from a building, suffering from massive bleeding and multiple fractures. You are her emergency contact. Could you come to the hospital now?"
For a moment, Song Qingyou was dazed. After a two-second blank, she heard her own voice: "How is she now?"
The nurse said, "He's still being resuscitated. He's bleeding too much and has multiple comminuted fractures. He's not out of danger yet. If you know him, please come to the hospital as soon as possible."
Song Qingyou clenched her fists: "Okay, we'll be there soon."
Seeing that she had hung up the phone, Jiang Xun hurriedly asked, "What did the hospital say?"
Song Qingyou: "They are still being treated and are not out of danger yet. We'll go to the hospital first. You stay here and coordinate with the police."
After a pause, Song Qingyou said, "Human life is of utmost importance. We should stop construction and investigate why this happened. Was it due to inadequate safety measures or something else?"
Jiang Xun frowned and said, "She jumped off the building herself. Are you going to blame our inadequate safety measures?"
Song Qingyou took a deep breath: "This is a construction site. How did she get in? Wasn't anyone monitoring her? How did she climb to such a high floor? Didn't the surrounding management and supervisors see her? This safety hazard must be thoroughly investigated. During the work stoppage, all workers' wages will be paid as usual."
Jiang Xun's expression darkened, but she didn't say anything more.
She's a businesswoman, not a philanthropist. How much money would be lost if the construction site stopped for a day? Those machines are just burning money, and the wages of thousands of workers still need to be paid. Under normal circumstances, Jiang Xun might not have agreed to this.
But she couldn't bring herself to refuse Song Qingyou.
In truth, she knew that Song Qingyou was right to do so, but having grown up surrounded by deceit and treachery, she had become accustomed to it and lacked humanity.
Jiang Xun glanced back at the workers who were still standing anxiously on the construction site. They were looking at her with almost pleading eyes, and her heart clenched.
Finally, he nodded and said, "Don't worry about me here, I'll handle it. You should go to the hospital."
Fu Wenzhou said coldly, "I'll go get the car. Youyou, wait for me here."
Song Qingyou was somewhat uneasy: "Okay."
Jiang Xun and Song Qingyou exchanged a few more words, and only when the police came to ask who was in charge did she turn around and follow the police to the accident scene.
Fu Wenzhou's car just pulled up: "Youyou, get in the car."
Song Qingyou nodded, opened the car door, and quickly got in.
Fu Wenzhou drove faster than usual; the journey that normally takes 45 minutes took him only half an hour today.
The hospital was filled with the smell of disinfectant, and patients and their families were coming and going in the corridors and lobby.
Everyone's face showed fatigue and anxiety, and they walked hurriedly.
Fu Wenzhou pulled Song Qingyou into his arms, and then pulled her closer to him, afraid that she might be bumped into.
The emergency room is a separate building located at the back of the hospital for easy access by ambulances. To get there, people have to cross a bridge connecting the two buildings.
Song Qingyou remained solemn throughout the journey, without uttering a single word.
Fu Wenzhou gently stroked her palm: "Her jumping off the building has nothing to do with you."
Song Qingyou paused for a moment and said, "She jumped off a building at Song's new construction site and set my emergency contact number. Isn't all of this because of me?"
A cold glint flashed in Fu Wenzhou's eyes as he asked in a deep voice, "From which floor did Xu Qingran fall?"
Song Qingyou was taken aback: "I don't know, I forgot to ask."
Given the magnitude of the incident, she prioritized human life and didn't ask many questions.
Song Qingyou never intended for Xu Qingran and Song Ning to die. At most, she would give them a minor punishment as a warning and hope that they would have no further contact with her in the future. She also hoped that they would be sensible enough to leave her sphere of influence and go far away.
But Xu Qingran jumped off a building today, right there in her own apartment complex.
Before Song Qingyou could think it through, she had already arrived at the emergency room door.
Avoiding the stretcher carried by the nurses at the entrance, Song Qingyou strode inside.
"Hello, where is the girl who just jumped from the building and was brought here?"
Song Qingyou politely asked the hospital receptionist.
The receptionist was about to speak when she was interrupted by a voice from nearby:
"Song Qingyou, is that right?"
