Chapter 10 I’ll Go With You
Xiao Shun steadily inserted all 24 needles into the girl’s acupoints, passing through her clothes.
Once a needle was inserted, his vital energy flew into the girl’s body to nourish her.
If anyone could see through her body, the person would see her injured lungs were gradually recovering. Xiao Shun was indeed competing with Death.
While he inserted the needles, the onlookers had unique feelings.
They seemed to hear some shocking echoes. While their heart hammered, they felt the abundant liveliness in the air.
When waves reacted in the electrocardiogram, the doctor exclaimed, “It’s indeed a miracle! You are such a wonderful doctor! Thank you.”
Even Wang Ye, the most famous doctor in Hamana, might not be as excellent as this young man.
Suddenly, the little girl moaned gently and gradually woke up.
Blinking her innocent eyes, she muttered, “Daddy...”
Her call made the anxious man waiting outside the ambulance burst into tears instantly. He looked at Xiao Shun with inquiry.
Xiao Shun pulled out the needles from the girl and answered, “She’s not in danger any longer, I’ve recovered most of her injuries, but her wounds need to be dealt with. Please send her to the hospital ASAP.”
Then he got off the ambulance, leaving the girl with the doctor.
Xiao Shun looked pale as he had used a lot of vital energy to rescue the girl.
The medical staff hurriedly checked the girl up, praising the young man’s medical skills in surprise.
Like the rescued tank driver, they also found some energy in the girl’s body to keep her surviving and nourishing her wounds.
“Hurry! Take her to the hospital.”
The doctor prompted, “You are her father. Hop on. Hurry!”
The man wiped his tears off and knelt to Xiao Shun respectfully.
Xiao Shun was too exhausted to stop him.
“Thank you so much for saving my daughter’s life, Sir. She needs to be taken to the hospital. After her status stabilizes, I’ll thank you, Sir.”
Then he hurriedly stood up and shoved his business card into Xiao Shun’s hands.
“If you need anything, please feel free to call me. I’m Wang Feng, and I have some power and networks in Hamana. You’ve rescued my daughter. I’m your loyal servant from now on.”
Then he hurriedly hopped on the ambulance.
Xiao Shun glanced at his business card and put it away in the pocket of his slacks.
He remembered his company, position, and name.
The ambulances were surrounded by onlookers, so the Yaos had to wait behind the crowd and guess what was happening inside.
When the onlookers said Xiao Shun had successfully saved the girl’s life, Yao Cen had mixed feelings.
Even the doctor had announced the girl’s death earlier, but Xiao Shun managed to rescue her in a few minutes. If it was a coincidence for him to save Song Zhenhai earlier, what about this time?
Yao Cen wondered if Xiao Shun purposely had hidden his skills.
Many questions flashed through her mind. She felt Xiao Shun was too mysterious. For the first time, she realized that she had never known the man she had married for three years.
After the ambulances left, all the onlookers were dismissed.
Looking at her exhausted husband, Yao Cen wanted to speak but bit back her words at her lips. However, Liu Yunxiang snapped at Xiao Shun rudely, “You kept your secret so well, didn’t you? I heard you’d rescued a girl with acupuncture. When did you learn it? You’d better stop playing tricks to fool us.”
“I don’t need to tell you what I can do,” Xiao Shun replied coldly.
He didn’t have the mood to speak as he wished to recover his vital energy as soon as possible.
“Mind your attitude!”
Liu Yunxiang was too angry that her neck turned red.
Yao Jianguo echoed to defend his wife, “Xiao Shun, mind your language! You are my son-in-law. You must respect everyone in the family.”
Xiao Shun didn’t raise his head, scorn written all over his face.
“Now you know I’m your son-in-law, huh?”
“You! How rude!” Yao Jianguo seethed with rage.
Before he scolded Xiao Shun, the policemen in uniform walked to them.
“Excuse me. We investigated the scene. Please follow us to the police station to file the case. We want to know the details of the car accident.”
Liu Yunxiang immediately pointed at Xiao Shun and cursed him, “Look what you’ve done. You grabbed the steering wheel to kill so many people. Now you’re sending us to jail. You cursed moron!”
Xiao Shun sneered but didn’t explain.
However, a policeman asked, “Moron? You must have misunderstood him.”
“He saved your lives with his excellent driving skills. If he was a moron, we all were useless. The tanker had a blowout earlier, bumped into the fence, and caused the explosion. If this young man hadn’t reacted quickly, your whole family would have also been injured.”
“Look how horrible the explosion is. All people in the car nearby the tanker were injured. We only wanted you to help us file the case.”
His words made the Yaos exchange glances in disbelief.
Liu Yunxiang and Yao Jianguo couldn’t utter any word, looking embarrassed.
Yao Cen knew she had wronged Xiao Shun, feeling more upset. She looked at him with mixed feelings.
From the beginning, Xiao Shun didn’t defend himself but only listened to their blame.
Yao Cen felt guilty.
She wanted to apologize, but she couldn’t bite out for her dignity.
She gritted her teeth, pretended calm, and asked, “You rushed into the fire twice. Are you injured?”
“No,” Xiao Shun answered indifferently.
He could tell what was in Yao Cen’s mind but didn’t expose her to keep her dignity.
Her reaction was more apologetic than her parents, who were unwilling to speak.
Suddenly, Yao Cen’s phone rang. Her assistant, Liu Xiaoya, was calling her.
Xiao Shun’s five senses were keener than others, so he saw the number with a single glimpse.
When Yao Cen swiped to answer, he also heard Liu Xiaoya’s sob from the other end of the line.
“Boohoo... Ms. Yao, bad news...” Liu Xiaoya sobbed and told Yao Cen what had happened.
It turned out Yao Cen’s subordinates went to a client to collect the rest project fee, but the client sent some security guards to beat up Yao Cen’s employees. The client’s name was Mafta Trading.
The company’s name tightened Yao Cen’s pinch on her phone.
Mafta Trading was a big company with chained shopping malls and trading subsidiaries with several-hundred-million-dollar assets.
However, the subsidiary that cooperated with Yao Cen’s company owed her 400 thousand dollars and was unwilling to pay.
It had been six months, but they still refused to pay the debt.
“Xiaoya, please take care of the injured employees. Our company will pay for their medical bills. I’ll go to Mafta Trading to collect the debt myself. Let me see what they want to do.”
Yao Cen was so angry that her face was dark. She was boiling over with anger.
Xiao Shun heard their conversation clearly. Yao Cen founded her company, Tulip International, a fashion design firm. It has been only running for three years, so 400 thousand dollars meant a lot to her.
Xiao Shun thought for a moment and suggested, “Let me go with you.”
Yao Cen hesitated and nodded her agreement.
She wouldn’t take him to her company if it were in the past. After experiencing the car accident and wronging Xiao Shun, she felt guilty. Therefore, she couldn’t refuse him. Anyway, she didn’t expect him to be any helpful.
They bid Yao Cen’s parents farewell and left the scene.
Liu Yunxiang constantly insulted Xiao Shun, but she felt too ashamed to stop him. Before they left, she whispered to Yao Cen to remind her not to let Xiao Shun know anything confidential about her company.
Xiao Shun “accidentally” heard their conversation, feeling helpless. No one could hide anything from him if he aimed to know anything.
He pulled the business card from Wang Feng, slightly furrowing his brows.
He had to admit it was indeed a coincidence.
...
Three hours later.
Mafta Trading’s subsidiary in Hamana.
Yao Cen checked on her watch again helplessly, looking annoyed. When she arrived, she was asked to wait in the reception lounge and told the company president was having a meeting. Therefore, she had to wait for two hours.
Xiao Shun took the time to recover his used vital energy.
Evidently, Mafta Trading’s president provoked Yao Cen in this way. They hadn’t violently bullied her staff only but also made her wait.
While Yao Cen was irritated, the president’s secretary entered the lounge, darted at her, and said, “Ms. Yao, right? My boss is available now. You can enter.”
Her voice and tone were rude. After delivering the message, she arrogantly turned away without showing Yao Cen the way.
Repressing the anger, Yao Cen sucked in her breath and said to Xiao Shun, “Don’t talk later.”
Xiao Shun didn’t reply, curiously wondering how Yao Cen would collect the debt.
He could tell the company president would refuse to pay the money from how he had treated Yao Cen.
