Time Travel: The Queen's Coronation

"Mr. Wei, something happened to Mr. Xu!" Secretary Xiao Wang hurriedly ran in to tell me.

"What happened?" I was confused.

"Mr. Xu was hit by a car at the door!"

"What!" I quickly followed the secretary out and went downstairs to check the situation.

Downstairs, a group of people gathered in a circle, some of them recording videos. I squeezed through the crowd and saw Xu Jing. She was lying on the ground, covered with a suit jacket, and Zhang Mu knelt beside her anxiously.

"Xu Jing! Xu Jing!" I knelt down and called Xu Jing. She responded to me in a weak voice, and I could tell that she was in great pain.

"What happened?" I asked anxiously.

"Just now, a man stepped on the accelerator and rushed towards her, knocking her away. I wanted to chase him but he had already escaped. However, I have already called an ambulance and the police, and I have also memorized the license plate number of the vehicle involved in the accident!" Zhang Mu replied.

"How are you? Where does it hurt?" I didn't dare to help Xu Jing for fear of causing secondary injury, so I could only ask from the side.

I couldn't tell where Xu Jing was injured, and she spoke so weakly that I couldn't hear what she was saying. Ten minutes later, an ambulance arrived and took Xu Jing away. I wanted to get in the ambulance to accompany Xu Jing to the hospital, but Zhang Mu pulled me off. He got in the ambulance and followed it. I was speechless, but to avoid delaying the rescue, I had to swallow my words and drive to the hospital myself.

When I arrived at the hospital, Xu Jing was already in the operating room undergoing emergency treatment, while Zhang Mu was sitting outside the operating room with a worried look on his face.

"How long has Xu Jing been in there?" I asked Zhang Mu.

"I don't know, but it's been a long time!" Zhang Mu said with his eyes closed, leaning against the wall.

"Do you know the man driving the car?"

"What do you mean?" Zhang Mu stood up excitedly.

"I'm just asking if you know him!"

"Why do you doubt me?"

"Because your heroic act of saving a beautiful woman is extremely suspicious! And you and your ex-wife also met because of your heroic act of saving a beautiful woman! Your ex-wife's bag was stolen, and you helped her get it back! This time, Xu Jing was hit by a car, and you happened to be at the scene! Both times, you pursued the victim!"

"Check me!"

"You're pursuing my best friend, and my best friend doesn't like you. Is it okay for me to investigate you for her sake?"

"But don't you think it's too much to doubt me based on speculation?" Zhang Mu became very angry.

"As the saying goes, a man of integrity fears no accusation! If you didn't do it, you can just deny it. So why are you so excited now? Did I hit the nail on the head?"

"Aren't you angry about being suspected for no reason?"

"I would be angry, but not as excited as you! Your reaction is more consistent with being angry out of shame!"

"Angry out of shame? Don't you make me angry by suspecting me for no reason?"

"Then can you explain why you were a hero when you pursued your ex-wife? When you saved her, she didn't accept your pursuit. But after you saved her, she agreed to be with you! Doesn't this incident seem like a repeat of you and your ex-wife? How could it be such a coincidence? And you were the male protagonist both times?"

"Whatever you think! The innocent will be innocent!" After saying that, Zhang Mu left the hospital angrily.

More than an hour later, Xu Jing's parents arrived in Hegang from Shenzhou. After Xu Jing's parents arrived at the hospital, Zhang Mu appeared in the hospital again, bringing food to Xu Jing's parents and trying to please them.

When Xu Jing was injured, Zhang Mu was busy running around. Xu Jing's parents were very satisfied with him. Zhang Mu also hinted that Xu Jing's parents were willing to take care of Xu Jing, and even boasted that Xu Jing liked him too. However, I immediately exposed his plan, and he was so embarrassed that he wanted to find a way to hide.

Two hours later, Xu Jing was wheeled out of the operating room. I wanted to go over to see her, but Zhang Mu deliberately pushed me aside. Xu Jing was transferred to the ward. Zhang Mu, eager to continue interacting with the two elderly people, repeatedly tried to shoo me away. Fortunately, Xu's mother and I were familiar with each other, so his scheme failed.

"Uncle, Lawyer Xu is out of danger now. You two can take a break. How about I take you to eat something first? My porridge is cold and not tasty." Zhang Mu said to Xu's father with a smile.

"Uncle, Xu Miao is at home. She will cry if she can't find her mother. And Xu Yan is about to finish school. Why don't you two go and take care of the children first? They will feel more at home if their grandparents take care of them." I directly ruined Zhang Mu's plan.

"My uncle and aunt are so tired, and you still ask them to take care of the children. Is that right? The children have a nanny to take care of them!" Zhang Mu was very dissatisfied with my arrangement.

"Love is not your child!" My words made Zhang Mu very panicked. He kept trying to explain, but Mr. Xu interrupted him.

"Xiao Zhang, we've only been sitting here for a little over two hours, it's not tiring at all! Xiao Wei is more considerate. Miaomiao is still young and needs someone to take care of her! Xiao Wei is here too, and it wouldn't be good if the news got out that you and Xu Jing are alone together!"

"Uncle, I'm fine!" Zhang Mu quickly explained.

"You and Xu Jing haven't even started dating yet! Although Xu Jing is not young anymore, you still have to avoid suspicion! Xu Jing's son is grown up, and you should consider his reputation!" Xu's father replied calmly.

Father Xu's words dashed Zhang Mu's wishful thinking. He could only change his words, "Then Uncle, shall I take you two there?"

"No need! We have a driver to pick us up!" Father Xu refused Zhang Mu. "Xiao Wei, Xu Jing's mother and I are going to take care of our two grandchildren. I'll have to trouble you to take care of this place!"

"Okay, uncle, I'm here! I'll contact you if anything else!"

Zhang Mu sent Mr. and Mrs. Xu to the car, and then when he returned to the ward, he kept staring at me with resentment.

"What's wrong? Have you turned your love for me into hate for me? Or are you turning your back on me because you can't get what you want from me?" I asked rudely.

"I like Xu Jing, and everything I do is for her good. Why do you always ruin my plans? Although you are her friend, you are too nosy!" Zhang Mu was very dissatisfied with me for disrupting his plans.

"For her own good? No one has the right to say this to anyone except her parents!"

"Anyway, stay out of other people's business!" Zhang Mu warned me directly.

"What does it have to do with you if I help my friend? You say I'm meddling too much, but aren't you the same?" I retorted directly.

"There's nothing wrong with liking someone! There's nothing wrong with pursuing someone! A good girl is afraid of a clingy man! One day she will accept me!" Zhang Mu was very confident.

"That's ridiculous! Who is Xu Jing? She's nicknamed the 'Queen of Law'. Do you think she would fall for your tricks to fool children? You're too confident! Can't you find a store in the whole Hegang to buy a mirror to look at yourself in?" I smiled disdainfully.

"Don't underestimate me! Wait until I capture her parents, and see if she'll be with me! Parents' orders and matchmaker's words, this has been a tradition since ancient times!"

"You've studied abroad, after all. Why are you still clinging to this crap? Your ex-wife is perfectly happy to be your little wife and stay-at-home wife, but Xu Jing is the heroine, and you're simply not worthy of her!"

"I'm a prosecutor, how could I be unworthy of a lawyer? You really underestimate me!"

"Let's talk about a topic that will break you men's defenses! Xu Jing is not only a lawyer, she's also a billionaire. Her parents are also highly educated, and her family background is very good! So everything about her is top-notch! You want to be with her, but ask yourself, are you a good match?"

"Everyone has their own aspirations! You can't measure my value and my feelings for her by how much money I make! My feelings for her are priceless and immeasurable!"

"Don't talk about such vague things! Xu Jing is already very outstanding, why do you have to drag her down with you? You and she are not from the same class. Don't think that just because you know me and I'm kind enough to return a favor, you can be on equal footing with us! In Hegang, we are wealthy! And you are just an ordinary person! You still want to live off me? Don't dream!"

"Stop being so jealous! Money isn't everything! Although I can't give her a wealthy life, I can still give her love. And she's already so rich, she won't care that I'm not as rich as her!"

"But not only do you have no money, you've also ruined your future! Because of your investigation into You Yuanzhou, you've been marginalized by the department! You have absolutely no future at all! There's no way Xu Jing would be with a mediocre clerk!"

"Just laugh at me! When I marry her, the first thing I will do is ask her to cut off all contact with you!" Zhang Mu was very unconvinced.

I kept attacking Zhang Mu and asking him to face reality, but he wouldn't listen. Instead, he kept comforting himself and immersed himself in the fantasy that Xu Jing would definitely marry him. I could only pray that Xu Jing would wake up soon and burst his fantasy!
