Chapter 24: What are you doing?
Bang!
His body slammed to the ground with a dull thud.
Rainwater was also splashed and scattered.
Gu Shanshan collapsed to the ground, her face deathly pale. Large drops of rain pelted her face and body, soaking her to the bone.
He was soaked in the rain, but no one helped him up or took him to the hospital.
It was pouring rain, and the central business district was almost deserted.
The place where Gu Shanshan took shelter from the rain was extremely remote and also a blind spot for surveillance cameras, so almost no one saw him faint on the ground.
If Gu Shanshan is allowed to continue lying in the rain, she might not even survive.
Just then, a slightly anxious voice came from the sound of the pouring rain.
"Yes, I arrived at the place, but it suddenly started raining, so I couldn't make the appointment."
The person who arrived was holding a large black umbrella in one hand and talking on the phone in the other.
With an anxious expression, she said, "There's nothing I can do. I know the company is in trouble, but without an introduction, I can't even meet Mr. Gong."
I don't know what they said on the other end, but the man's face grew even paler.
She responded several times, "Okay, okay, I know. I will definitely do my best and won't give up..."
The man said a few more words before hanging up the phone.
After hanging up the phone, his face showed a gloomy and defeated expression.
If you look closely, you can see that the man's beard hasn't been shaved for several days, and his clothes are wrinkled, as if they've been worn for a long time.
The man's name was Zhang Yang, and he was the owner of a small company that was on the verge of bankruptcy.
The reason they appeared around Lingyue Company was because they received news that someone had seen Gong Ye, the big boss of the Gong family, appear here.
He rushed over without stopping, but he was still a step too late.
Instead of seeing Gong Ye, it started raining heavily.
The rain was so heavy that the large black umbrella was being battered and rattled loudly.
The umbrella he was carrying was a bit worn out, and one of the ribs was bent under the weight. Zhang Yang tilted his head, wanting to straighten the bent rib.
But with sharp eyes, they spotted what appeared to be a person lying on the ground in a secluded corner not far away.
Zhang Yang's heart skipped a beat, and he didn't care about his umbrella anymore, striding towards the corner.
Sure enough, they saw a person lying motionless in the rain, their face ashen.
He crouched down and reached out to touch Gu Shanshan's hand, finding it as cold as ice.
"how so!"
Zhang Yang glanced around; there was no one else around except himself.
No wonder someone fainted here and no one noticed.
Unable to carry her while holding the umbrella, Zhang Yang threw it away and, braving the heavy rain, scooped Gu Shanshan up in his arms and hurriedly carried her to a dilapidated car parked nearby.
Zhang Yang didn't notice that a cell phone fell out of Gu Shanshan's pocket, landed on the ground, and was immediately soaked by the rain.
After opening the car door and placing the ice-cold Gu Shanshan into the back seat, Zhang Yang immediately started the car and drove to the hospital.
He dared not delay for even a moment, for fear that something might happen to the person in the back seat.
In such cold weather and heavy rain, she fainted and lay on the ground for so long; he felt sorry for her and was terrified.
Saving a life is more meritorious than building a seven-story pagoda. Luckily, he went there today, otherwise a life would have been lost.
Thinking of this, Zhang Yang felt much better, which had been a bit down because he couldn't see Gong Ye, the head of the Gong family.
He knew his company was now at its end, and he could only do his best and leave the rest to fate.
Just as Zhang Yang was lost in thought, a black car traveling at extremely high speed suddenly brushed past his vehicle.
Rainwater splashed up and landed on Zhang Yang's old car.
Zhang Yang glanced at the rearview mirror and saw the expensive car, worth tens of millions, disappear in a flash.
Gong Ye gripped the steering wheel with both hands, his face extremely gloomy.
It started raining heavily shortly after he left.
He parked the car at the intersection a short distance ahead because he knew that Gu Shanshan had to pass through that intersection to get home after leaving Lingyue Entertainment.
But he waited there for a very long time and still didn't see Gu Shanshan.
With a cold face, he called Lingyue's people to ask, and they nervously reported that Gu Shanshan had already left.
With such heavy rain, where could Gu Shanshan go?
Damn it!
Gong Ye slammed his fist on the steering wheel in anger, slammed his foot on the gas, and sped off towards Lingyue Entertainment Company.
He had no idea that the person he was looking for was lying in the dilapidated car that had just passed him not long ago.
......
Sizzle!
A piercing sound rang out at the entrance of Lingyue Entertainment Company.
The black car door opened, and Gong Ye stepped out of the car, holding a black umbrella.
He glanced around with a gloomy expression, but didn't find the person he wanted.
The owner of Lingyue and his entourage hurriedly came out to greet him, "Mr. Gong."
Unable to find Gu Shanshan, Gong Ye's eyes were filled with intense irritability and resentment.
He commanded in a cold voice, "Search the entire area and find Gu Shanshan!"
With such heavy rain, where did Gu Shanshan go? He was already weak, and he was wearing such thin clothes. I wonder how cold he must be.
The more Gong Ye thought about it, the more agitated he became.
Not long after, one of the people who went out to look for it brought in a broken and wet cell phone.
"Mr. Gong, we've found Gu Shanshan's phone."
Gong Ye snatched the phone away in an instant, with such force that he almost crushed the water-soaked phone in his hand.
No wonder no one answered his calls, and no wonder the phone couldn't be located; it turned out the phone had been damaged by water and was unusable.
He shouted angrily, "Where are they?!"
The person who came in lowered his head and answered cautiously, "Mr. Gong, the person hasn't been found yet, but we're already checking the nearby surveillance footage. We should have results soon."
......
Meanwhile, Gu Shanshan was rushed to the nearest hospital by Zhang Yang.
Gu Shanshan was physically weak. She had been soaked in the rain and lay on the cold ground for so long, and she was only kept alive by the system.
Otherwise, if it were anyone else, they would have died long ago after going through such an ordeal.
However, the situation was still very serious, and Gu Shanshan was immediately sent to the emergency room for treatment.
Gu Shanshan didn't have any identification on her, so Zhang Yang had to explain the situation to the doctor and register her again.
After several hours of emergency treatment, Gu Shanshan was finally safe and was wheeled out of the emergency room and transferred to a regular ward.
Zhang Yang's own company was on the verge of bankruptcy, so he didn't have much money. After paying for the surgery, he was even broke and could only afford to book the cheapest hospital room for Gu Shanshan.
There were seven or eight people in one ward, and it was incredibly noisy.
The emergency treatment had just ended, and Gu Shanshan was still unconscious.
Zhang Yang, who had brought Gu Shanshan here, decided to see it through to the end and didn't leave.
He stayed by Gu Shanshan's side for two hours until she finally opened her eyes after falling into a coma.
As soon as she regained consciousness, Gu Shanshan felt a splitting headache, especially in her throat, which was so dry it felt like it was on fire.
My immediate reaction was to shout, "Water..."
The voice was extremely weak.
Hearing the noise, Zhang Yang, who had been dozing off by the bedside, immediately woke up.
"Water, water, right?"
Zhang Yang hurriedly grabbed two pillows, helped Gu Shanshan sit up, and placed the pillows behind him so that he could lean against the hospital bed.
She immediately picked up the water she had prepared earlier and handed it to him, saying, "Here, have a drink, it's still warm."
Gu Shanshan looked at the unfamiliar man in front of her who was showing her kindness, and her nose felt extremely sore.
I took the water and gulped it down in one go. My throat felt much better after drinking the water.
Gu Shanshan then looked at the man in front of her, who was more like a boy than a man.
The person in front of me looked to be only twenty years old. His tired face still had a childlike quality, but there was a deep sorrow between his brows that I couldn't understand.
"Hello, my name is Gu Shanshan."
Gu Shanshan extended her hand, "Thank you so much for saving me!"
Zhang Yang felt embarrassed to hold Gu Shanshan's hand; he had thought she was very beautiful when he rescued her.
Now, seeing him open his eyes, he is more beautiful than ever before.
In all his life, he had never seen anyone as beautiful as Gu Shanshan yet not effeminate.
"Gu Shanshan, is that right? Your name is very nice. My name is Zhang Yang."
"Zhang Yang."
Gu Shanshan read Zhang Yang's name aloud and gave him a grateful smile.
As her memories returned, Gu Shanshan recalled everything that had happened before she fainted.
If it weren't for this person in front of him, he might really have died there.
For him, Zhang Yang was a lifesaver.
"Your name is also very nice."
"hey-hey......"
Zhang Yang gave a slightly shy smile.
Gu Shanshan looked at the man in front of her with shining eyes and made a serious promise.
"Zhang Yang, thank you for saving my life this time. If there's anything I can do to help you in the future, as long as it's not murder or arson, I will definitely do it for you!"
Zhang Yang saved the person out of kindness and never intended to use it to blackmail or repay him.
He immediately waved his hand and shook his head to refuse, saying, "No need, no need, I don't need your help."
Anyway, his family is about to go bankrupt, and unless the Gong family is willing to lend a helping hand, there is no way to save them.
Unless Gu Shanshan knows Gong Ye and can persuade him to help her.
Zhang Yang shook off the unrealistic thoughts in his mind and asked Gu Shanshan.
"By the way, what's your family's phone number? I'll call them to come over. I have some things to do and can't stay here any longer."
family?
Gu Shanshan gave a bitter smile and shook her head.
I have no family.
"Alright, let's not talk about that anymore. I haven't asked you yet how much the medical expenses were in total. Give me your contact information so I can pay you back."
As Gu Shanshan spoke, she pondered in her heart how many days she would have to work to pay off the medical expenses.
Zhang Yang immediately refused, "You don't need to give me money."
"How can that be? You saved me, which is already a huge favor. How can I not give you money?"
Gu Shanshan insisted on giving it to him. Although he was poor, he couldn't let his savior spend money.
Left with no other option, Zhang Yang could only say, "Since that's the case, then you should..."
Before he could finish speaking, the door to the ward was kicked open forcefully from the outside.
A sinister voice rang out, "What are you doing!"
