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.”
Yu Yi took a deep breath, knelt beside the woman, and quickly and forcefully pressed her chest, performing cardiac compression, while shouting, “If you can move your hand, call for help.”
Zhuang Liguo was reluctant: “I’d rather die here. Don’t save her anymore.”
Just save my daughter.” He was afraid that calling would lead the insurance company to refuse claims if he wasn’t considered to have died in the accident.
Yu Yi anxiously said, “I can’t drive. If you don’t call for help, I can’t take your daughter to the hospital in time.”
Zhuang Liguo became anxious and used his left hand to dial the emergency rescue number.
Yu Yi repeatedly performed chest compressions on the woman and injected her with a dose of epinephrine. Finally, after ten minutes, when she lightly touched the woman’s carotid artery, she detected a slight but stable pulse.
Joyfully, she stood up, ran to the car, and checked Zhuang Liguo’s injuries. He had a fractured arm and legs. Yu Yi first stopped his bleeding, administered painkillers near the injury sites, and then set and bandaged the bones.
“She… was saved by you?” Zhuang Liguo asked.
“Her heart has temporarily recovered,” Yu Yi replied.
Zhuang Liguo said nothing but closed his eyes, revealing a relieved expression.
“There’s a gasoline smell.” Zhuang Liguo suddenly frowned, sniffing with his nose, and his expression became tense, “Let’s go check, is the fuel tank leaking?”
Yu Yi saw his expression and realized this could be a serious problem.
She walked between the two vehicles and carefully examined them, seeing a rectangular box under the truck with a thin crack at the bottom, from which a transparent liquid with a strong smell was continuously dripping. A puddle of gasoline had already accumulated on the ground.
She returned to the driver’s side, continuing to bandage him, “It’s indeed leaking oil.”
Zhuang Liguo anxiously said, “Stop it, first take my daughter away. The car might catch fire, it might even explode.”
Yu Yi picked up the little girl from the back seat and ran towards an area far from the two vehicles, while Zhuang Liguo kept urging, “Run further, further away.”
Only when she was about to turn around the mountain road bend did she no longer hear Zhuang Liguo shouting. They were already more than fifty meters away from the accident scene. She gently placed the little girl by the roadside, then returned to the car to unbuckle Zhuang Liguo’s seatbelt.
Zhuang Liguo pushed Yu Yi away, “First take Yin Hua away, she’s too close to the car.”
Yu Yi was stunned, understanding that Yin Hua was probably his wife, “But isn’t your car dangerous?”
Zhuang Liguo didn’t explain, just repeated, “Take her away first. Go!”
The situation was urgent, and both people were equally important to rescue for Yu Yi, and she could only carry one person at a time.
In an instant, she made a decision: she was near the driver’s seat, closer to the driver, so she would rescue him first and then return to carry the seriously injured woman, which would take less time.
She carefully dragged Zhuang Liguo out of the driver’s seat, regardless of his resistance and angry cursing, and quickly carried him away.
Although angry and injured, Zhuang Liguo couldn’t stop Yu Yi from carrying him away. He pleaded with her, “At least let Yin Hua survive. I’m just a useless person. If I die, I can at least leave some money for them. If Yin Hua’s husband is good to Xiao Yin, let her remarry.”
Yu Yi listened to his rambling but still carried him all the way to the little girl before putting him down, then returned to the accident scene to carry Wang Yin Hua.
Carrying people back and forth was extremely exhausting. Although Yu Yi had practiced martial arts, she hadn’t been training for long. After carrying a grown man and then an adult woman, her legs went weak, and she could no longer run.
Zhuang Liguo sat against the roadside mountain wall, watching the front of the car suddenly burst into flames, and shouted hoarsely, “Run, run over here!”
Yu Yi gritted her teeth and stumbled forward. After running just a dozen steps, she heard a loud explosion behind her, followed by a hot air current sweeping towards them. Yu Yi’s hair was blown forward, and she was pushed forward several steps by the air current.
Reaching Zhuang Liguo, Yu Yi turned and laid Wang Yin Hua down. Zhuang Liguo extended his left hand to support Wang Yin Hua’s body, helping Yu Yi lay her on the grass.
Yu Yi checked her pulse again, finding it still stable. Because they were far from the car during the explosion, she hadn’t been injured a second time.
Perhaps shocked by the explosion, Wang Yin Hua’s eyes trembled open. Her vision was initially confused, gradually focusing. She difficultly turned her head, looking around, “Xiao Yin? Liguo?”
Zhuang Liguo joyfully said, “Yin Hua, you’re awake?” Then he became worried, “Why hasn’t Xiao Yin woken up?”
Yu Yi checked the girl’s condition, “Her heartbeat and breathing are very stable, her limbs are warm and soft. She’s just briefly unconscious from a head impact.”
Zhuang Liguo was slightly relieved, then filled with regret, “It’s all my fault. I wasn’t careful driving and caused this…”
Wang Yin Hua weakly said, “It’s not your fault. You lost so much in the stock market and couldn’t sleep well, which led to this accident. I didn’t persuade you…”
Zhuang Liguo was shocked, “You knew?”
Wang Yin Hua was surprised, “Who are you talking about… Why would I divorce you?”
“
Zhuang Liguo was also puzzled, “The man who’s been calling you recently, he… he’s not your…”
Wang Yin Hua suddenly understood, “He’s my investment and financial management teacher. He’s over fifty. How could I possibly…”
“Over fifty? He didn’t sound like it on the phone.” Zhuang Liguo was both joyful and remorseful, “How did you decide to learn… You wanted to help me, right? It’s all my fault for overthinking and wrongly accusing you. I even told her not to save you earlier.”
“Who are you talking about?” Wang Yin Hua asked.
“Her… Huh? Where is she?”
Distant ambulance sirens grew louder…
Chapter 39: Domestic Violence Police (1)
Yu Yi returned to the white room, hearing the Boss say: “Mission accomplished successfully.”
She suddenly thought of something and asked, “Boss, why do you always say ‘mission accomplished successfully’ every time I return? Actually, as long as I’m back, wouldn’t it be obvious the mission was successful?”
The Boss paused, thought for a moment, and then said, “Don’t you think this feels ceremonial? Like in games where after each level completion, a ‘Mission Complete’ message appears, or a completion screen?”
Yu Yi gently shook her head.
Bo Shi cleared his throat slightly awkwardly: “Then I won’t say it next time.”
Yu Yi suppressed a laugh and asked, “What’s gaming?”
