My Life with Narration

Chapter 913: Chapter 903: Worries

At night, a car sped down the street, reaching the limit of speed in the urban area. Inside the car, Su Qing’s eyes were cold, as if they could devour a person.

His heart was filled with worry for Shen Yi, and a surge of anger.

He hadn’t forgotten the narrator’s hint: a deliberately caused car accident. This meant that Shen Yi’s accident had been orchestrated by someone on purpose.

To be honest, although he had been a criminal investigation consultant for some time, he had only seen such scenarios on TV, never expecting it to happen to him in reality.

A deliberate car accident; it was clear without thinking that it must be someone Shen Yi offended while discussing business outside.

Either she infringed on someone’s business interests, or had a conflict with someone, and he was more inclined to believe the latter.

Because in today’s society, even if one infringes on someone’s interests, it falls under business competition. This isn’t the chaotic era of the last century where dirty tricks were used secretly. After all, in today’s law-abiding society, if you dared to do such things, you’d likely face severe consequences.

But having a conflict with someone is different. Even in today’s society, irreversible consequences happen every day due to impulsiveness, as humans are emotional creatures.

Regardless of which reason it was, he wasn’t planning on letting this slide easily. It wasn’t just a matter of paying some money or yielding some interests.

He and Shen Yi had already registered for marriage and were about to take wedding photos. It was clear someone was targeting him, so, no matter who it was, they would have to pay the price.

Though the narrator’s hints were just prompts, they weren’t without means to fight back.

Screech~~

A piercing screeching sound came as the car stopped at the entrance of Jiang City’s hospital. Su Qing got out and rushed straight into the hospital.

At the entrance of the surgery department, Su Qing saw Deng Jie, her forehead wrapped in gauze that was staining with blood.

The bloodstains on her white shirt were quite striking, and one of her arms was also bandaged.

"Sister Deng, how are you? Where’s Xiaoyi?" Seeing this, Su Qing hurried over to ask.

Seeing him arrive, Deng Jie seemed to have found her pillar of strength. Although Su Qing was much younger than her, and held no position in the company, he had already registered his marriage with Shen Yi; they were legal spouses.

"I’m fine, President Su. I was wearing my seatbelt when it happened; it’s just superficial injuries. President Shen... she’s inside. The doctors are treating her. Don’t worry, President Shen shouldn’t have any major issues."

Deng Jie briefly explained Shen Yi’s situation, at least to reassure Su Qing. As for Shen Yi’s exact condition, she wasn’t a doctor and didn’t know, but seeing Shen Yi’s situation, though injured, it seemed there wasn’t any life-threatening danger.

Just as Su Qing was about to ask more, the department door opened, and a nurse in a white coat walked out and asked:

"Who is the family member of the patient, Shen Yi?"

"I... I am, I’m her husband!"

Upon hearing this, the nurse nodded and said, "The patient had a head impact and fell into a coma, with two bone fractures and some external injuries. Fortunately, it’s not too severe, but she’ll need hospitalization for recovery. Go pay and arrange for the hospital stay procedures!"

With that, she handed him a slip, which Su Qing took. Although he wanted to see her, he turned to handle the hospitalization procedures.

After finishing all the paperwork and ensuring Deng Jie was set for her stay—considering Deng Jie was married but her husband wasn’t around, and it was technically a work injury, he couldn’t ignore it.

Once everything was settled, it was already midnight when Su Qing finally reached the ward to see Shen Yi.

Shen Yi’s injuries were neither too severe nor too light. The place on her forehead where she had a car accident last year had opened again, with her left arm and leg in braces, and other external injuries treated. Her clothes still had traces of blood, an indication of just how fast the car had been moving at the time.

Su Qing gently caressed Shen Yi’s face and the injured areas. After a while, he recalled the narrator’s prompt in his mind.

[The opposing car accelerated from the side, causing Shen Yi’s injuries from glass cuts and the vehicle’s rolling collision.

She was in the back seat, not wearing a seatbelt, and was resting while the incident occurred, completely unprepared.

Her head struck the table, then the car door, leading to her coma.]

Hearing the narration in his mind, Su Qing instinctively clenched his fists. He knew that it wasn’t the time to erupt since Shen Yi was still unconscious.

Early the next morning, his mother, Zhou Hui, Old Su, the landlady, Wen Jingqi, and other acquaintances of the two received the news and rushed to the hospital, putting everything aside.

"Oh dear, how did it end up like this? No matter how busy, work shouldn’t be like this. Poor child," Zhou Hui muttered tearfully, holding Shen Yi’s hand at the bedside.

By now, Shen Yi’s clothes had been changed to hospital gowns, but she still hadn’t awakened; her once rosy face had paled, entirely lacking her usual aura of a strong woman.

"You brat, how could you not call your mom and dad when Xiaoyi got into an accident last night! You’re killing me!" Old Su scolded his son harshly. If not for the others in the room, he might have hit him.

"I already checked with the doctors when I arrived last night. Xiaoyi is fine, just some external injuries, and the head trauma caused her to fall into a coma. She’ll need some time to recuperate in the hospital. Coming here last night wouldn’t have helped. Don’t worry!" Su Qing replied firmly, though a hint of coldness flashed in his eyes.

The landlady, seeing this, took a deep breath and asked worriedly, "Xiao Su, how exactly did Xiaoyi get into an accident?"

"I’m not entirely sure. I know she and a company employee went to discuss a project yesterday, and the accident happened on their way back."

"Who hit them? Do you know the other party, and how is this being handled?" Wen Jingqi asked from the side.

Su Qing shook his head, "After the accident yesterday, Deng Jie, who was less injured, called 120. She’s in the hospital now too. I haven’t had time to ask yet. Dad, Mom, please keep an eye on Xiaoyi. And... maybe you could decide when to tell her parents. I’m worried they might be overly concerned."

Hearing this, Old Su and Zhou Hui realized the many things they had to handle.

"Don’t worry, Xiao Yi’s mom will watch over her. Do what you need to do, don’t worry about us!" Old Su said after looking at his son, seemingly noting something different in his gaze.

Because normally, in such situations, one would be anxious, agitated, hoping for Shen Yi to wake up soon, but Su Qing wasn’t. His gaze remained calm, like a volcano about to erupt.

"Alright!"

With that, Su Qing took one last look at Shen Yi on the hospital bed, took a deep breath, and turned to leave.

Knowing Shen Yi wasn’t in any life-threatening danger, just unconscious, he was already relieved. He wasn’t going to stay by the bedside like in dramas, waiting for his loved one to wake up, wanting her to see him first thing upon opening her eyes. That was pointless.

He had more important matters to handle; he needed to seek justice.

Just as Su Qing stepped outside, the landlady caught up with him, calling him:

"Xiao Su!!"

"What’s up, Sister Wen?" Su Qing turned his head, looking at Shen Yi behind him, and asked with a firm tone.

Hearing this, the landlady pondered and asked, "Is there something more to Xiaoyi’s accident?"

Su Qing didn’t deny it, nodding, "I find it suspicious. I’m preparing to talk to Deng Jie, who drove last night."

"If you’re unsure about anything, come back and discuss it with me. Your sister here knows a few people on this Jiang City turf," the landlady said in a low tone.

Their relationship spanned many years, being not just very good friends but crucial business partners.

Initially, she was Shen Yi’s benefactor, providing the initial funding for the company. Now, the dividends Shen Yi paid her yearly guaranteed a lifetime of comfort and leisure.

No matter who it is, harming Shen Yi is messing with her income source; both publicly and privately, she wouldn’t tolerate it.

She might have nothing but money, but the old man behind her was a bonafide big shot.

Parting ways with Wen Nanqing, Su Qing directly went to Deng Jie’s ward.

"President Su... you’re here, how is President Shen...?" Seeing him enter, Deng Jie quickly sat up and asked.

"She’s fine, rest assured, my parents are taking care of her. Later, call someone to bring you some clothes. Stay in the hospital for a few more days. The company will continue as usual," Su Qing comforted.

Hearing this, Deng Jie breathed a sigh of relief.

"By the way, last night’s accident... what exactly happened?" Su Qing shifted the topic, his tone serious, emitting a faint aura of authority.

Deng Jie, slightly startled, didn’t hide anything:

"President Su, yesterday’s accident was someone intentionally crashing into us. I had already called the police before 120 arrived; there should be news today, but..."

Hearing this, Su Qing squinted his eyes slightly, realizing it was indeed the case.

"Tell me clearly, what do you mean by but?"

"But it seems the other party’s identity isn’t simple; they’re a local thug in Jiang City. This might..."

Deng Jie’s implication was clear: the other party had a significant background, possibly involving people in power, which might lead to the matter being unresolved.

"Just tell me what you know, and leave the rest to me!"
