———In the dark night, the urgent sirens of 120 broke through the darkness, and heavy rain poured down; the water on the road splashed with the speeding vehicles.
In the ambulance, Jiang Luoning, who was soaked and covered in blood, looked at Chen Xu who was being rescued. Everything that had just happened was like a movie replaying in his mind and could not be erased.
The car door was opened and the cold wind blew. Jiang Luoning woke up instantly and followed the medical staff to push Chen Xu, who was covered in blood and as pale as paper, out of the car.
The three scarlet words "In Operation" looked particularly hideous and eye-catching in the plain white hospital corridor. Jiang Luoning squatted in the corner and took out his cell phone with trembling hands to call his second brother Jiang Shuyan.
"Ningning, it's so late..." Jiang Shuyan answered the phone. Before he could finish his worried words, he heard Jiang Luoning's choked and trembling voice.
"Second... Second brother... are you... in the hospital? I'm in... the emergency room... the operating room... you..."
Hearing Jiang Luoning's distraught voice, Jiang Shuyan didn't have time to think, and immediately stood up and rushed out of the office, without any sign of fatigue from having just finished the operation.
In the elevator, he took the opportunity to tell the news to Jiang Linghao who was still busy in the company.
Jiang Luoning squatted outside the operating room, hugging himself helplessly to avoid looking so embarrassed. Suddenly, he heard hurried footsteps. He looked up and saw his second brother's anxious expression. He calmed himself down, stood up and walked towards the direction his second brother was running from.
As she hugged her second brother, Jiang Luoning could no longer control her emotions and broke down in tears. Just now, when the car on the opposite side of the road hit her, her whole body tensed up, as if frozen in time, unable to react. She only recalled her own tragic death in her previous life. For a moment, she thought she was going to die in the same way again, but then something unexpected happened...
Jiang Shuyan was heartbroken by Jiang Luoning's heart-wrenching cry. He was restless and hugged his sister tightly in his arms, patting her to comfort her. He didn't know how long he cried. Jiang Shuyan turned his head and was about to ask something when he saw Jiang Luoning covered in blood. Raindrops were still dripping from the ends of her hair. Jiang Linghao's heart tightened again. He quickly let go of the gesture and was about to check if there was any wound on Jiang Luoning's body, but Jiang Luoning stopped him: "Second brother, this... is not my... blood..."
Before he could finish his words, Jiang Linghao, who had rushed over, pulled Jiang Shuyan away from supporting his sister. His eyes were fiery and bloodshot. Before he could say anything, Jiang Luoning said, "Brother, I'm fine... I'm just a little scared."
"What's going on?"
"Whose blood is that on you?"
The two Jiang brothers asked in unison.
"It's... Chen Xu's... I had a car accident... and he saved me." Jiang Luoning calmed down and looked at the two brothers in front of him and began to explain.
Jiang Shuyan was not unfamiliar with the name Chen Xu, because the group of thugs who investigated the kidnapping case that year naturally knew the whole story. When they heard Chen Xu's name, he and Jiang Linghao showed surprised expressions, from shock and disbelief to suspicion, and their eyes were cold.
Jiang Luoning knew her brothers' speculations but did not say anything to stop them because she was not sure whether Chen Xu's rescue was a self-directed and self-acted self-torture trick or he happened to pass by and rushed over at all costs just to gain her trust.
The three of them didn't speak. At this time, Fu Linxiao hurried over with clean clothes. After Jiang Linghao drove out, he found that it was raining heavily outside. Thinking that Jiang Luoning was in trouble and must have been wet in the rain, he called Han Zhengyu and asked him to help him prepare some clean clothes for his sister and send them to the hospital. But he didn't expect that the person who came would be Fu Linxiao.
Jiang Luoning took the clothes and went to Jiang Shuyan's lounge to change.
After Fu Linxiao saw Jiang Luoning leave with Jiang Shuyan, he asked Jiang Linghao what happened. However, Jiang Linghao only said that Chen Xu saved Ning'er. As for the process and the reason, he didn't know. He planned to wait until Jiang Luoning's emotions stabilized before asking.
Fu Linxiao called Lin Ming and asked him to investigate the cause of the incident.
Jiang Luoning changed his clothes and obediently accepted his second brother's physical examination. Only after confirming that he was fine was he allowed to return to the operating room. At this time, the indicator light in the operating room went out, and the doctor walked out of the operating room to inform everyone that the operation was successful and he could be pushed to the ward to rest. He would wake up after the anesthesia wore off.
Fu Linxiao looked at Chen Xu lying on the hospital bed with injuries to his legs and head, feeling a mixture of emotions. If this incident truly had nothing to do with him, then they owed him their life. But if this was all his own drama, another heroic rescue drama, then Chen Xu truly had no reason to breathe.
At the same time, Lin Ming came over with the surveillance footage of the incident.
He learned the location of the accident from the ambulance driver, retrieved all the surveillance footage around the scene, and immediately contacted the person in charge of the traffic police department who handled the accident. He learned that the driver of the car that rushed over was driving under the influence of alcohol. After the accident, he suffered a comminuted fracture of his left arm and a head injury. He suffered a concussion and is now under police surveillance in the ward.
Fu Linxiao looked at the surveillance videos in his hand that Lin Ming had screened, including the entire route of the driver after he left the hotel, as well as the location of the accident, shot from different angles by public cameras, driving recorders, and nearby shops.
Jiang Luoning was seen walking with an umbrella after coming out of a Chinese medicine shop. The vehicle that caused the accident was speeding in the opposite lane. The red light came on, but the car did not brake and turned the steering wheel sharply, seemingly wanting to turn around, but suddenly rushed towards where Jiang Luoning was. Jiang Luoning had her back to the car and turned around when she heard the engine sound. Seeing the car rushing towards her, Jiang Luoning seemed to be frozen by the high beam. She didn't even dodge and just looked straight at the car. The vehicle was getting closer and closer to her. Jiang Luoning's umbrella fell to the ground, and then with a bang, a gray Ferrari in the next lane crashed into the car that was driving towards Jiang Luoning.
Seeing this, Fu Linxiao felt as if a huge rock was suddenly pressing down on his heart, making it impossible for him to breathe normally. He felt suffocated and powerless.
Even the hands holding the tablet were shaking uncontrollably.
In the video, Jiang Luoning remained stunned in his spot. Passersby and vehicles stopped to avoid him, and someone called the police and emergency services. The surrounding noise lasted for a long time before Jiang Luoning regained consciousness. He hurried to the gray Ferrari and saw Chen Xu sitting in the driver's seat, his face covered in blood. Everyone was reluctant to move, fearing that he would cause secondary injuries to the injured person.
Fu Linxiao looked at the helpless little girl on the screen, so helpless and alone in the dark night of torrential rain. His heart ached, as if being eaten by a thousand ants, a piercing pain. He wished he could turn back time to that time, to stand by the little girl's side and offer her a little warmth and support.
