Chapter 38: Hit by a Car
"You're not angry?"
After walking out of the hospital after the prenatal check-up, Qin Song looked at Pei Xingzhi's face and asked with some trepidation.
"Angry? Why should I be angry?" Pei Xingzhi asked with a smile.
Qin Song: "I'm angry with Lu Yibai. He deliberately asked his assistant to wait there with the business card, just to wait for you to come over and humiliate you. Every word that assistant said to you was instructed by Lu Yibai. This is a naked provocation from Lu Yibai!"
"He knew you were bankrupt and had no connections, so he emphasized in his words that this was a rare doctor that ordinary people couldn't see."
"I know." Pei Xingzhi was still smiling.
Qin Song let go of his hand, not understanding and a little angry: "You can still laugh after knowing this? You don't have to go to this extent to keep him steady, right?"
Pei Xingzhi raised his glasses, his eyes behind the lenses softer than water: "I smile not because I want to calm him down, but because of you."
"Because of me?" Qin Song frowned slightly, "Am I funny?"
"No." Pei Xingzhi was already laughing, and his smile deepened after she said that. "When I said it was because of you, I meant that you scolded Lu Yibai. Lu Yibai was so self-righteous that he wanted to help you, but you scolded him so badly. Isn't that funny?"
"..." Qin Song blinked and said nothing.
Pei Xingzhi continued to explain: "I said I'm not angry because of this. Lu Yibai provoked me and humiliated me, so of course I felt bad. But fortunately, I have you by my side."
"No matter what tricks Lu Yibai used on me, you fought back for me seriously and resolutely. With you protecting me, why should I be angry? I didn't lose."
"...Is that so..." These words made Qin Song feel a little embarrassed. She pursed her lips and lowered her head, her cheeks quickly turning a light shade of red.
Pei Xingzhi took her hand again and interlocked their fingers: "Let's go, I'll take you to buy sugar-roasted chestnuts."
Qin Song nodded: "Yeah!"
There was a store selling sugar-roasted chestnuts at the entrance of the hospital. Pei Xingzhi bought a big bag and peeled them for Qin Song to eat while taking him to the parking lot.
The chestnuts were sweet and sticky, and Qin Song was in a good mood after eating them. Her eyebrows were slightly curved, and the smile on her face was so bright that it was a little dazzling.
"You wait here for me, I'll go drive." The parking spot was a bit far away, and Pei Xingzhi was afraid that Qin Song would get tired, so he asked her to stand there holding the bag of chestnuts and wait for him.
Qin Song agreed obediently: "Okay."
Pei Xingzhi was tall and had long legs, and he had walked several steps away while Qin Song was peeling a chestnut. Qin Song put the peeled chestnut into his mouth and was about to peel another one when he suddenly heard the roar of a car not far behind him.
The roar was getting closer, Qin Song suddenly looked in the direction where the sound came from, and saw a black car accelerating towards Pei Xingzhi.
"Pei Xingzhi!"
The body reacted before the brain. Qin Song dropped the chestnut in his hand and ran towards Pei Xingzhi. He pulled Pei Xingzhi back hard just before the car hit him.
“Buzz——”
The car passed Pei Xingzhi and fled the parking lot without stopping.
Qin Song used too much force and directly pulled Pei Xingzhi down with him.
Pei Xingzhi was quick-witted and quick-handed. He protected Qin Song tightly the moment she fell to the ground, preventing her from falling to the ground.
"Bang!" Pei Xingzhi's back hit the ground with a dull sound, but he had no time to care about it. Instead, he first cared about Qin Song in his arms.
"Qin Song, did you fall anywhere? Does it hurt? Are you injured?"
Qin Song held his stomach tightly with both hands, and sat on the ground for several seconds before answering: "No, I'm not hurt, and the baby is fine. How are you? Did you get hit?"
Pei Xingzhi shook his head, grabbed Qin Song and checked her from head to toe, making sure that there was only dust and no wounds on her body. Only then did his heart settle down a little.
"Come on, stand up first." He helped Qin Song up from the ground, and patted the dust off Qin Song's clothes with his shaking hands. He couldn't help but ask again: "Are you sure you are not injured? I'd better take you back to the hospital for another check."
The incident happened so suddenly that Qin Song still feels numb all over. She fell very hard just now and she wasn't sure if she was injured. For the safety of the baby in her belly, she did not dare to be blindly confident, so she agreed to Pei Xingzhi's suggestion and went back to the hospital to see a doctor for another check-up.
Fortunately, the examination showed that there was no problem, otherwise she would not know where to cry.
"Call the police." After coming out of the hospital, Pei Xingzhi dialed the police with a dark face.
Qin Song didn't stop him. If she hadn't run fast just now, Pei Xingzhi would probably be dead now. This kind of thing is really terrible, and she also wants to find out the beast who was driving the car.
After the call was made, the police arrived at the scene in less than ten minutes.
They checked the parking lot's surveillance footage and discovered that the black car that hit the person didn't have a license plate at all.
The driver was wearing a baseball cap and a mask, so his face could not be seen clearly through the camera.
"It's obvious that the perpetrator came prepared, and it's very difficult to find him. You guys go back first, and we will notify you as soon as we have any news."
After taking the statement, the police officer in charge of the case said tactfully.
Qin Song knew what he meant, but he was unwilling to let it go, so he chased him and asked, "When will there be a result?"
The police shook his head: "We can't be sure about this. The perpetrator left too little information, so it's not easy to investigate him. But we will do our best, so just go back and wait for news."
Qin Song: "We can't rest assured. The perpetrator clearly wants to kill my husband. We can't rest assured until we find him. Uncle police, can you please hurry up?"
"Tsk," the policeman said with a somewhat impatient expression, "This thing can't be done quickly just because we say it will. Checking people takes time. You've already called the police, so what are you afraid of? Even though the perpetrator looked like he was going to hit your husband, wasn't your husband injured? And there wasn't any substantial harm caused, so why are you in such a hurry?"
"Go back and wait for news, don't worry about it."
"How long do we have to wait for this news?" Pei Xingzhi said with a gloomy face, "A week or two weeks, a month or half a year? You have to give me a rough range, right?"
"What do you mean by that?" The policeman was a little unhappy with his question. "We are police officers, not gods. How can we know exactly how long you have to wait?"
"I don't know?" Pei Xingzhi sneered, "Okay, then I'll change the question."
"How are you going to investigate him? Are you going to retrieve the surveillance footage along the way to see where he drove his car to, or are you going to carefully check those people who have had a grudge against me?"
"You..." The policeman was stunned by the question, then raised his hand and slammed the document in his hand on the table, "How to investigate specifically, what methods to use... These are all internal matters for us police officers handling the case. We have no right to report to you!"
"Humph," Pei Xingzhi raised his lips sarcastically, "I don't think you have no right to report, you just don't want to investigate carefully at all."
