At this moment, the hospital is a scene of bustling activity.

Jiang Yuwei is still in critical condition. I was transferred from the emergency room to a regular ward and had only recently regained consciousness.

Secretary Li stood beside me, looking anxious: "Sir, your injuries are serious. The doctor said you must rest in bed. Mr. Li is watching over Mr. Jiang. I will report to you immediately if there is any situation. Please rest assured and take care of yourself."

Li Ningsu and Du Heng avoided the landslide. After Jiang Yuwei and I had the accident, Secretary Li immediately mobilized manpower from various places. Li Ningsu even drove against the flow of traffic, turning back from the front to search for us.

I knew in my heart that their elaborate preparations weren't because something had happened to me, but because Jiang Yuwei had also fallen. They cared more about Jiang Yuwei's safety than I did, but without news that she was out of danger, I couldn't rest and recover in peace.

My face was as pale as paper, and my whole body felt weak and powerless, but I stared intently at Secretary Li: "Let me go see her. She saved me, and I must make sure she is safe."

Secretary Li couldn't persuade me otherwise, so she found a wheelchair and pushed me to the emergency room.

At the entrance of the emergency room, Li Ningsu, wearing a white shirt with bloodstains on the sleeves, paced anxiously back and forth.

Upon seeing me, she immediately rushed over aggressively, gritting her teeth and saying, "Ye Qiu, are you some kind of jinx?! Why does Sister Jiang always have such bad luck whenever something involves you? She's almost lost her life so many times, and this time is no exception! Tell me, what kind of car accident would only result in one person being seriously injured and another slightly injured? Why is Sister Jiang covered in wounds? Yes, her car window shattered, but I heard yours shattered too. Why is her back, shoulders, and arms covered in shards of glass, especially the deepest wound on her back? Yet you're completely unharmed. Why is that?"

Because Jiang Yuwei shielded me with her body.

My wounds had been treated, and my neck and cheeks were bandaged. My eyes were fixed on the red light: "How long has she been inside? What did the doctor say?"

Li Ningsu rolled her eyes at me and sneered, "What can you say? She's about to die. Anyway, the happiest person when she dies will be you."

Secretary Li, fearing a conflict between us, quickly stepped in front of me: "President Li, please don't be too harsh on Mr. Jiang. You saw the accident scene yourself. The car rolled halfway up the mountain, and Mr. Jiang was able to receive timely treatment thanks to Mr. Jiang enduring the pain and carrying Mr. Jiang up the mountain step by step. If it weren't for Mr. Jiang, I'm afraid we still wouldn't be able to find Mr. Jiang."

Li Ningsu scoffed, "If it weren't for him, would Sister Jiang have gotten hurt? She was trapped in the small fishing village because she was looking for him; she encountered a landslide because she was trying to bring him back to the city. You think he brought her back because he was worried about Sister Jiang? Let me tell you, he just wanted to completely sever ties with her!"

I gripped the armrests of the wheelchair tightly, but did not refute Li Ningsu's words.

Secretary Li hurriedly leaned closer to Li Ningsu and whispered a few words, then said, "The landslide was an accident, and no one can be blamed. I think President Jiang thinks so too. Now that President Jiang is in trouble, everyone is very anxious. Please say less."

I don't know what Secretary Li said, but Li Ningsu frowned, glanced at me with a cold look, and didn't make things difficult for me anymore. She just snorted and went back to wait at the entrance of the emergency room.

Everyone looked solemn and waited for more than an hour until Jiang Yuwei's surgery was finally over.

Li Ningsu was the first to rush forward and ask what was going on.

The doctor said, "Ms. Jiang had too many small wounds, which caused massive blood loss and shock. Fortunately, none of them were fatal. She is now out of danger and her vital signs are returning to normal. She may remain in a coma for a while, which is normal. There is no need for everyone to worry too much."

"It is especially important to avoid getting the wounds wet when wiping the patient's body. She has too many wounds, and if inflammation or complications occur, the situation will be complicated."

Li Ningsu readily agreed, and after Jiang Yuwei was wheeled into the ward, she immediately followed the nurse in.

Secretary Li was about to push me back to my ward when my phone kept ringing, one call after another.

Seeing this, I said, "I know Jiang Yuwei's company hasn't gone bankrupt. Her accident is a big deal. You must have a lot of people to deal with. Go ahead and get busy. I can manage on my own."

Secretary Li looked surprised, clearly not expecting that I already knew about this. After a long pause, she managed to say, "Sir, you already know... This wasn't President Jiang's intention; I was just making things up. Please don't blame her."

"Ah."

Jiang Yuwei often told me that she wasn't that poor, never mentioned bankruptcy, and of course, never claimed to be a billionaire.

I could tell that she was of extremely high status, as evidenced by her speed in finding people, her rescue measures, and her methods of dealing with the outside world, which were completely different from mine.

“It’s nothing serious, I can take you back to your room and we can deal with it later.” Just as Secretary Li finished speaking, her phone rang again. This time she didn’t hang up, but said “Just a moment” and answered the phone.

A furious and urgent female voice came from the other end of the phone, which I could hear clearly: "How is Yuwei? Which hospital is she in? Is she badly injured again? Where is that damned Ye Qiu? Did that bitch kill my daughter? Is he dead or not?!"

I lowered my eyelashes and listened as Secretary Li said businesslike, "Mrs. Jiang, Mr. Jiang is out of danger, you can rest assured."

Mrs. Jiang breathed a sigh of relief and repeated the question she had just asked.

Secretary Li calmly refused to answer, which instantly enraged Mrs. Jiang: "Secretary Li! You're paid by the Jiang family! My daughter is in such a terrible situation, and you won't even tell me about Ye Qiu, let alone the hospital address? Believe me or not, I'll fire you!"

Secretary Li turned around and walked away. I only heard her say, "As you wish. I will leave immediately as soon as the personnel department issues the appointment notice. Mrs. Jiang, I am very busy right now. If you have nothing else, I will hang up now."

Mrs. Jiang shouted angrily, "Was it Ye Qiu who instructed you? Well, that bitch is really good at this. Not only did she seduce my daughter into breaking off her relationship with me, but she also bewitched you, an outsider! Tell him for me that no matter how capable he is, and no matter how much my daughter has broken off her relationship with me, as long as I am alive, they can forget about getting back together!"

"Even if you won't tell me where the hospital is, I can still find out! Yuwei's fiancé will be here too. If he has any shame, he should get out now, so we don't end up making enemies jealous and you become a laughingstock if I kick you out!"
