His daughter could attend a good private school in the city, but the expensive tuition was beyond Zhuang Liguo’s current means. Every time he saw his daughter’s brilliant smile and heard her and his wife discussing school expectations, Zhuang Liguo felt like he was sitting on pins and needles.
He had contemplated suicide and bought twenty life insurance policies. If he died accidentally, he could receive 2 million in insurance claims. To cover his tracks, he also bought the same life insurance for his wife, with their daughter as the beneficiary. However, suicide would not qualify for claims, and Zhuang Liguo had been struggling to find a way to die that the insurance company couldn’t detect as suicide.
Under these circumstances, he noticed his wife’s unusual behavior. In the past half month, she often went out with various excuses, which was unlike her previous habits. He secretly checked the phone bill and found she had been frequently calling the same unknown number.
While his wife was showering, he dialed that number. A strange man answered, “What is it? Didn’t we agree today…”
He quickly hung up, his chest aching unbearably.
If he hadn’t been distracted for two days after discovering this, how could he have unconsciously driven into the oncoming lane?
The truck driver, possibly fatigued, only noticed the approaching vehicle when they were extremely close, and despite emergency braking and steering, couldn’t avoid the collision.
Yu Yi, hearing Zhuang Liguo’s revelation about his wife’s infidelity, was momentarily at a loss for words and focused on rescue. She had already cut away all the car body pressing on the woman and was preparing to stop her bleeding. However, Zhuang Liguo interfered with his only mobile arm. Yu Yi tried several times but couldn’t even cut open the woman’s pants to stop the bleeding and set her bones. She had no choice but to move the woman out of the car first and then treat her.
The bleeding stopped, but the woman’s heartbeat had ceased. Yu Yi looked at Zhuang Liguo with a reproachful gaze: “Her heart has stopped.” Zhuang Liguo gave a miserable laugh: “You don’t need to care about me. Just take my daughter to the hospital.”
