Zhou Qian rolled twice on the ground and hit her head on the curb. Her eyes were spinning and her consciousness was blurred, but she clearly remembered that someone pushed her away, so what happened to that person?
She tried hard to hold on and not faint. The last thing she saw was a sea of red.
…
When Zhou Qian woke up, she was already lying in the hospital with an IV bottle hanging on the bedside. She stared at it in a daze.
Jiang Ningning came in after answering the phone outside. Seeing Zhou Qian open his eyes, he rushed over and said, "Baby, you finally woke up. You scared me to death, didn't you know that?"
"What's wrong with me?" Zhou Qian's head was still dizzy.
Jiang Ningning's eyes widened. "You didn't get hit and lost your memory, did you? You were hit by a car at the gate of the community last night. Don't you remember?"
Zhou Qian thought about it, and her memory slowly returned. The terrifying scene from last night played in her mind, and she still felt scared.
Thinking of the person who pushed her away at the critical moment, Zhou Qian grabbed Jiang Ningning's hand and asked anxiously,
"I remember someone pushed me away. What happened to that person? Is he okay?"
Jiang Ningning's face suddenly turned ugly. She didn't dare to look into Zhou Qian's eyes, and she didn't dare to think about how devastated Zhou Qian would be if she knew that the man had lost his life to save him.
Zhou Qian's face gradually turned paler. She propped herself up and sat up. She was obviously panicking, but she tried to keep her voice steady.
"What's wrong? How's that guy? Speak."
"Qianqian, don't be sad. That person was too seriously injured and couldn't be rescued last night."
Zhou Qian seemed to have his soul sucked out. He sat there motionless, his face frighteningly pale.
Seeing that she hadn't responded for a long time, Jiang Ningning was afraid that she would be upset. "Baby, baby, don't scare me. Just say something, or even cry."
Zhou Qian's tears fell from her eyes in strings. She wanted to speak several times, but she was choked with sobs and couldn't make a sound.
Jiang Ningning hugged her distressedly and comforted her softly, "Baby, don't be like this. It was an accident. We didn't want it to happen."
Zhou Qian buried her head in Jiang Ningning's shoulder and cried silently for a while before her emotions gradually calmed down.
Jiang Ningning found that the needle in her hand was swollen, so she quickly rang the bell to ask the nurse to come and help her re-insert the needle.
Zhou Qian leaned against the head of the bed in a daze, still unable to accept that this was true.
How she wished it was just a dream and nothing had happened when she woke up.
After the nurse left, Zhou Qian suddenly asked, "Do you know who the other person is?"
She also wanted to ask: How old was that kind man? Who else was in his family? Could she meet them?
But after just one sentence, I was choked up and couldn't speak anymore, tears welled up in my eyes again.
Jiang Ningning simply told her everything. "The man was a single man in his early thirties, with few family members. Later, the victim's uncle took him away and took compensation, saying he would not pursue the matter further."
"So fast?" Zhou Qian was surprised. The thing was done in less than a day. Wasn't it a bit too hasty?
She asked, "What about the driver who caused the accident?"
"The police investigation found that the vehicle lost control due to a malfunction. The perpetrator has been detained. However, the perpetrator actively cooperated, compensated the victim, and was forgiven by the victim's relatives, so the matter has basically ended there."
Zhou Qian didn't say anything, and no one knew what he was thinking.
Seeing that she was silent again, Jiang Ningning was worried that she might be imagining things. "Baby, stop imagining things. The doctor said you hit your head. You need to rest well."
"When you get better, I'll go with you to visit your savior."
Zhou Qian finally showed some reaction. He looked at her with red eyes and nodded.
…
Zhou Qian spent the whole day drowsy because of his heavy mood and a head injury.
The next morning, the police came to understand the circumstances of the car accident and record the statement. Zhou Qian described the whole situation in detail.
In fact, deep down in her heart, Zhou Qian didn’t completely believe that this was a simple accident, so when the police were about to leave, she called the police again.
"Why, is there anything else?" asked the police.
"Was this accident really an accident? Are there any other possibilities?"
The two policemen looked at each other, and one of them asked, "What do you want to say?"
Zhou Qian thought for a while and told the story of being followed by a strange person for the past two days.
After listening, the police said, "We will investigate what you said when we get back. We will contact you at any time if there is any new information to cooperate with the investigation."
Zhou Qian nodded.
After sending the police away, Jiang Ningning hurried back, "Why didn't you tell me earlier that you were being followed? Do you know who it is?"
Zhou Qian shook his head.
"Have you offended anyone recently?"
Apart from the recent conflicts with the Lu and Lin families, Zhou Qian couldn't think of anyone else.
At this moment, her phone suddenly rang. It was Hang Peng calling.
"Hello, Hang Peng."
"Xiao Qian, I saw a car accident with a loss of control near your neighborhood the night before last. The girl in the video looked a lot like you. Are you okay?"
Hang Peng's anxious voice came from the other end of the phone.
Zhou Qian felt warm in his heart, and at the same time, his eyes couldn't help getting hot. "I'm fine, don't worry."
"Your voice doesn't sound very good, is it really not you?"
Zhou Qian thought about it and told the truth, "It's me, but I'm fine now."
"Where are you? I'll come to see you." Hang Peng's tone was obviously more worried.
"No, I want some quiet time now."
Hang Peng had learned from the news that the person who pushed Zhou Qian away died despite rescue efforts. She must have been very sad and felt very guilty.
