Chapter 46 If It Wasn't Because of Her
In the evening, Xie Duo drove her out to dinner.
Neon lights flashed past the car window as Jiang Tingwan lowered his head and played with the badge.
Out of the corner of my eye, I suddenly noticed that Xie Duo's back was slightly tense.
"What's wrong?" She looked up.
Xie Duo glanced at the rearview mirror and said in a low voice: "There is a car following us."
Jiang Tingwan turned around.
In the rearview mirror, there was a modified black SUV, its front bumper flashing cold light, and the distance was abnormally close.
If they were not sent by Jiang Shixu, his people would not follow us so blatantly.
"pay close attention."
Xie Duo's voice was like ice, and he slammed the steering wheel into his hands.
The tires left two charred arcs on the asphalt road, and the whole car was almost thrown sideways.
Jiang Tingwan's vision was spinning, and all her internal organs were pulled to one side by the centrifugal force.
The SUV was like a thorn in the flesh, its engine making an abnormal roar and accelerating again.
Xie Duo suddenly braked hard, and the front of the other car just brushed past their door, sparks flying in the night.
The next second, the off-road vehicle forced a U-turn on the narrow road, and its high beams pierced straight at us like two sharp swords.
Xie Duo swerved to avoid the collision, and the wheels of the car ran over the gravel on the shoulder of the road, causing the car to tilt to the point of almost tipping over.
Bang!
The world was spinning.
The car body vibrated violently and the airbag popped out instantly.
Jiang Tingwan's eyes went dark, and she felt a strong arm suddenly embrace her.
The shattered windshield poured down like a rainstorm, but Xie Duo had already used his entire body to protect her in his arms.
She smelled the blood on his collar and heard the heavy heartbeat in his chest.
There was also the dull sound of glass shards piercing the flesh.
And drops of warm blood splashed onto her eyelashes.
"Thank you!"
She exclaimed.
Jiang Tingwan touched his back with trembling hands, but felt it was full of stickiness.
The man groaned, but his arms tightened, his voice terribly hoarse: "Don't move...
There was a sharp sound in the distance, and the car that caused the accident turned around and rushed over again at high speed.
When the car rolled over, Xie Duo's hands were always protecting her neck.
The smell of blood became stronger and stronger in the closed compartment.
After the last loud bang, the world suddenly became eerily quiet.
Jiang Tingwan blinked with difficulty, and his vision was filled with scarlet blood mist.
-------------------------------------------
Blinding white light.
Jiang Tingwan opened her eyes.
The first thing that came into view was Ruan Yue's surprised face.
"Sister! You're awake!"
Ruan Yue's eyes were red and her voice was filled with tears.
Jiang Tingwan subconsciously wanted to move, but found that her whole body felt like it was run over.
My throat was so dry that I couldn't make any sound and I could only move my fingers with difficulty.
"water..."
She uttered the word hoarsely.
Ruan Yue immediately turned around to pour water, and Jiang Tingwan then noticed Jiang Shixu standing by the window——
He was wearing a black suit, his face was terribly grim, and he was whispering something to his assistant.
Hearing the noise, he walked over quickly with a frown on his face.
After the warm water moistened her throat, Jiang Tingwan finally regained some strength.
She tried to get up, but was hit by a sharp headache and her vision went black.
"Don't move."
Jiang Shixu held her shoulders and said in a low voice, "The doctor said you have a concussion."
But Jiang Tingwan didn't care about these.
The broken picture flashed back in my mind——
The moment the windshield exploded, Xie Duo rushed over without hesitation, and said the last words "Don't be afraid".
"Where's Xie Duo?"
She grabbed Ruan Yue's hand and asked in a trembling voice, "How is he?"
Ruan Yue bit her lip and looked at Jiang Shixu, wanting to say something but stopping herself.
"Still rescuing him."
Jiang Shixu spoke calmly, but his eyes were extremely cold.
Jiang Tingwan clutched the bed sheet tightly.
"Who is..."
"The company's previous executive, Gao Xu." Jiang Shixu said with a frown.
This name startled Jiang Tingwan.
Gao Xu used to be the project deputy.
But when she initially audited the project, she discovered that before she took over, Gao Xu had not only embezzled public funds but also cut corners, so she fired him.
Now he faces legal action and his career is ruined.
Jiang Tingwan didn't expect that he had been holding a grudge against her.
She felt dizzy for a moment.
It would have been fine if he was targeting her, but this time he was bumped into like this by Xie Duo.
I don’t know how to explain to the Xie family yet.
Besides, Xie Duo didn't have to suffer such a serious injury...
The doctor came in and checked her out, confirming she only had a mild concussion and a few scrapes.
But when Jiang Tingwan asked about Xie Duo's condition again, the elderly doctor sighed.
"Major General Xie's brain CT scan showed slight bleeding, hemorrhagic shock and lung damage..."
He glanced at Jiang Tingwan's pale face and carefully considered his words.
"If consciousness is restored within 72 hours, the prognosis is better."
Jiang Tingwan's fingers unconsciously clutched the sheets tightly.
If it weren't for her...
72 hours….
"Can I be transferred to another hospital now?"
Jiang Shixu suddenly said, "The neurosurgery department of the Military General Hospital is more..."
"No." The attending doctor shook his head, "The patient can't even undergo a mobile CT scan right now."
He pointed outside the ward and said, "But the Xie family has already transferred the ECMO team from the theater hospital."
Ruan Yue suddenly exclaimed in a low voice: "Sister!"
Everyone turned around and saw the heart rate curve on the monitor rising.
Jiang Tingwan didn't even notice it herself. She was staring out the window towards the emergency room and her heart rate was over 120 beats per minute.
The cold infusion tube swayed slightly with her rapid breathing, and the medicine looked even colder under the reflection of the light.
Jiang Shixu suddenly bent down and held her shoulders: "Jiang Tingwan."
He rarely called her by her full name like this. "Your heart rate is too fast now. Do you want to go to the emergency room as well?"
Only then did she realize that her nails had dug deeply into her palms.
The back of the hospital gown had been soaked at some point, and was sticking to my skin.
She lifted the quilt, but was held down by Jiang Shixu.
"You can't help now."
His voice was unusually stern. "The Xie family has the best medical team watching over them."
Jiang Tingwan was forced to lie back down, but she couldn't calm down.
