Chapter 341 Accident
Xu Youyou not only guessed that it was a mutual compromise, but also felt that the number of people involved was no less than three.
One person holds the jade pendant, one person places the address, and finally one person holds the key.
She thought about the distance between Hong Kong City and Treasure Island, and had reason to suspect that the fourth person had the password, or even that the four people did not know each other.
If the Li family was forced to make such a division due to coercion, it seems to make sense.
Xu Youyou tossed and turned in bed until the second half of the night before she fell into a drowsy sleep.
She was worried about the mission and woke up early the next day again, but she felt dizzy and looked very bad.
Seeing his boss like this, Xu Fang was extremely anxious: "Boss, why don't you just rest here? I'll go to Wu's house and get your things back for you..."
Xu Youyou felt dizzy in her head, but since her rebirth, she has maintained a good schedule most of the time. Although she suffered from insomnia occasionally, it was uncomfortable, but not to the point where she could not trade.
"It's okay. Since I have made an appointment with the old gentleman, I naturally cannot break it." Xu Youyou said.
After breakfast, she immediately went to the end of the village road.
However, it was already eight o'clock in the morning, but there was no movement in Wu's house. No matter how hard he knocked on the door, no one answered.
"Boss, I've asked the villagers. Mr. Wu has a regular schedule. He gets up at six every morning and it's rare to see him sleep in." Xu Fang said.
If she hadn't met the old gentleman last night and confirmed again and again what to do today, Xu Youyou would have almost suspected that the Wu family had run away overnight as they stayed indoors.
Xu Fang knew that Xu Youyou valued Mr. Wu very much, so she said, "Boss, why don't you come back later? Maybe the old man overslept today."
Xu Youyou nodded slightly. She was indeed anxious to get the safe, but she also didn't want to upset the old man by being too impatient.
As the group turned around, Liu Xiangyi suddenly said:
"Could it be that the old man fell down at home? Doesn't the news always say that old people live alone and no one else knows about the accident."
Xu Youyou's face changed drastically when she heard this: "Quick! Break open this door and contact the rest of the Wu family!"
Although Xu Youyou and Mr. Wu had only met once, she didn't want to see an old man in his nineties encounter such an accident. Besides, her mission now depended on the old man.
With so many bodyguards with her, it was not difficult for her to break open a large iron door. After rushing into the house, she immediately found the old man lying in the kitchen.
"Boss, I'll call an ambulance right now!" Xu Fang said.
Xu Youyou was afraid that she would not be able to wait for the ambulance, so she made a quick decision and said, "Let's drive the person directly to the nearest hospital! Meet the ambulance halfway! Save time first!"
A temporary bodyguard beside her suddenly said, "I know a little about first aid. If you trust me, boss, I can try. I'm just afraid that if I can't save the person, the old man's family will get angry with me..."
The old man was now weak, so Xu Youyou couldn't care less. She said to the bodyguard, "Try your best to save him! If you fail to save him, I will be responsible for the compensation his family has to pay! So many people have witnessed this, I won't break my promise!"
After hearing Xu Youyou's words, the bodyguard who was originally hesitant immediately took action.
Xu Youyou felt relieved when she saw his professional movements, but she couldn't help thinking that this was indeed a mission to leave the novice period. Even if she successfully connected with the most important person in the mission, there would still be twists and turns.
At this moment, she kept praying in her heart, hoping that the old man could survive this disaster.
With the bodyguard's temporary rescue, the old man suddenly moved.
"As long as he is conscious, he should still be able to be saved. Boss, let's get the person to the car now. Everyone, follow my instructions on how to transfer the injured. We must not cause secondary injuries to the injured!" said the temporary bodyguard in charge of first aid.
When Xu Youyou heard this, she couldn't help but look at the bodyguard again. Hearing him calling him "wounded", Xu Youyou couldn't help but suspect that he was a retired medic.
Thanks to the command of this temporary bodyguard, the old man was safely transferred to the car, and the ambulance arrived in time and met Xu Youyou's car halfway.
After the old man was admitted to the hospital and after a lot of busy work, his vital signs finally stabilized.
The doctor couldn't help but sigh: "Luckily you rescued him in time. The old man was already old. If it was delayed a few minutes, I'm afraid it would be too late to save him."
Xu Youyou felt cold sweat on her back. If Liu Xiangyi hadn't shown up suddenly, she wouldn't have let anyone break into her door. And thanks to her for hiring enough bodyguards, she didn't let several temporary bodyguards leave even after returning to Shanghai.
If not for this, I’m afraid the old man would have explained it today.
Mr. Wu’s family arrived very quickly, and the first person Xu Youyou met was the old man’s daughter.
An old lady in her sixties.
Judging from the way she is dressed, she looks like an educated lady. Even though she is already retired, she is still energetic. Her eyes are bright without any cloudiness of old age. She also looks very similar to Mr. Wu.
As soon as Mrs. Wu saw Xu Youyou, tears fell from her eyes: "Miss Xu, I really don't know how to thank you. You saved my father's life. If you need any help, just ask."
During the conversation with the other party, Xu Youyou learned that the old lady was a professor at a key university in the province. Her identity was similar to what she had guessed. She was indeed an intellectual.
"Ms. Wu, you are too polite. The fact that I was able to save the old gentleman's life this time was purely by chance. I had already made an appointment with the old gentleman today to retrieve my family's things from him." Xu Youyou said.
Mr. Wu's great-grandson was also waiting nearby. Upon hearing this, the young man looked confused and asked, "What did my grandfather keep for your family?"
Xu Youyou said casually: "It's just a few things from the previous generation. I don't know what they are specifically."
A glimmer of greed flashed across the eyes of the great-grandson, who said, "Words are not enough. You said that my great-grandfather kept it, but who knows whether the owner of this thing is my family or your family..."
Before he could finish his words, Old Lady Wu slapped him in the face: "Wu Xiaoguang, how can you talk to your great-grandfather's savior?"
Wu Xiaoguang was obviously very afraid of this young lady, and he lowered his head quickly: "Miss Xu, I'm sorry, I spoke without restraint."
Xu Youyou waved her hand, not wanting to care. She turned to look at Old Mrs. Wu, feeling that she seemed to know something.
As expected, Mrs. Wu said, "Miss Xu, the things that my father keeps can only be handed over by him personally. We, his children, can't find them."
