Fortunately, things were much better than Xia Zhiyi imagined. Fu Chi was indeed not in mortal danger, but he had suffered greatly.
He had a gash on his head, a broken left hand, some abrasions, a large cut on his shoulder and neck, and just below that was his heart.
When Xia Zhiyi saw the location of Fu Chi's wounds, she had a strange intuition—this was a warning.
That lofty, aloof so-called "fate" that disgusted and abhorred him was warning him in this way.
This time, Fu Chi was injured so badly; if there had been a slight deviation, perhaps... perhaps...
" Zhiyi."
A muffled sound came from behind her. Xia Zhiyi snapped out of her reverie, turned around, and met Old Master Fu's worried gaze. She paused, forced a smile, and said, "Old Master."
Old Master Fu lowered his gaze slightly, and Xia Zhiyi followed his gaze, noticing her hands trembling slightly. She pursed her lips, put her hands in her pockets, and looked at the old man, saying, "I didn't notice it was snowing on the way here, and I'm freezing."
"Fortunately, nothing serious happened to A-Chi. The doctor said he just needs to rest and recover."
"In this car accident, A-Chi hit his head and might suffer a concussion. We'll have to ask him for more details after A-Chi wakes up."
He tried to make the situation sound as light as possible, his tone casual, as if it were really just a trivial matter.
If Old Master Fu hadn't noticed that his hands were trembling, he might have genuinely believed that he was as relaxed as he appeared.
Old Master Fu gave him a deep look, then sighed heavily after a long while. He glanced at the person still unconscious on the bed behind Xia Zhiyi, and beckoned to Xia Zhiyi: "Let's go outside to talk."
Xia Zhiyi pursed his lips. At this moment, he didn't really want to leave Fu Chi's side, or rather, he wasn't comfortable letting Fu Chi out of his sight.
However, Xia Zhiyi glanced at Old Master Fu's expressionless face and obediently followed him out.
"No one expected this accident. It wasn't just Fu Chi was involved; I heard that more than a dozen cars were involved in the accident on that road, and even pedestrians were affected. Two people couldn't be saved; they lost blood and became hypothermic, and are already..."
"In comparison, that kid only lost an arm; with proper care, he can recover. He's already very lucky."
Don't worry too much.
Xia Zhiyi was taken aback by the old man's words, then said with a hint of helplessness, "What you're saying is ridiculous. I should be the one advising you, why are you advising me instead?"
Upon hearing this, Old Master Fu glanced at him, patted Xia Zhiyi's shoulder, and said solemnly, "What's all this talk about persuasion? I'm just stating the facts."
"It's just a car accident. As long as you're alive, it's not a big deal."
"I know you're worried about Fu Chi and are overly anxious, but..." Old Master Fu looked up at Xia Zhiyi again, seemingly taking a moment to organize his thoughts before slowly saying, "But don't look so scary. The nurse was terrified and thought you were some kind of murderer. If I hadn't arrived in time, they would have called the police."
Xia Zhiyi: "..."
Xia Zhiyi silently raised her hand, touched her cheek, and murmured, "Do I look scary?"
Old Master Fu coughed lightly. "It's alright now, but when I came into the room just now, the way you were half-smiling was indeed, indeed a little scary."
Xia Zhiyi himself may not have noticed, but when outsiders passed by, they didn't even need to look at his expression; just getting a little close to the door of that ward felt like being pricked by invisible ice needles.
It was as if the murderous intent was materialized; the person in question just stood there blankly in the ward, expressionless, as if he could devour a hundred living people alive.
When Old Master Fu, bracing himself against his son-in-law's murderous aura, shouted out, Xia Zhiyi turned around with a strange, insincere smile that nearly made Old Master Fu trip and fall.
Even Old Master Fu himself admired himself; he had actually managed to hold on!
Old Master Fu: As expected of me!
Xia Zhiyi paused for a moment, then began to adjust her expression.
Old Master Fu looked on with disbelief. "If you don't want to laugh, then don't. It's kind of scary."
He usually seems like such a gentle and obedient child, so even if you know he's very skilled, you don't really have a sense of it.
Now that something has happened, the oppressive aura emanating from Xia Zhiyi is incredibly strong. Not only is it impossible for him to speak to her, but if it weren't for Old Master Fu's extensive experience and knowledge that Xia Zhiyi Fu Chi's matter, he wouldn't dare to approach and speak to Xia Zhiyi at this moment.
We should wait until he calms down before saying anything more.
Old Master Fu recalled that when he finally arrived at the hospital, Xia Zhiyi stood there alone, with no one within three meters of her. Even the passing nurses were so intimidated by her presence that they didn't dare approach and instead walked around her. Old Master Fu felt...
He truly deserves to be called his son-in-law.
Ah, I must say, he's truly his son. Not only did he not find a wife, but he also found someone so capable.
But... it's really scary.
Xia Zhiyi paused for a moment, then gave up, but still tried to make her voice sound gentler, "Grandpa, has the cause of the car accident been found?"
Old Master Fu paused for a moment, then said, "It was an accident."
"I also sent people to the scene to investigate, as well as the owner of the car that caused the accident. He... was driving under the influence, but we couldn't find any problems with his identity."
"Moreover, judging from the surveillance video, this was just an accident. Such a large-scale chain-reaction car accident would be difficult to control, especially if someone deliberately orchestrated it to harm Fu Chi."
Xia Zhiyi closed her eyes briefly.
He understood what Old Master Fu meant; no matter who looked at it, this incident seemed to be nothing more than an accident.
Although two people have died and many others are still receiving treatment, the current facts are that it was an accident.
But Xia Zhiyi didn't think this was unexpected.
Old Master Fu: "Alright, Fu Chi is fine, isn't he? It's just a broken arm. I had my leg broken by accident when I was young, and I'm perfectly fine now."
"It's alright, don't worry too much."
There's nothing we can do about it.
The person who caused this series of car accidents was the one who died the fastest. It's said that he was already dead not long after the accidents happened, so no one else had a chance to hold him accountable.
There's another piece of news that's hard to say whether it's good or bad: the guy is a gambler with a mountain of debt. His ex-wife divorced him years ago, but couldn't stand his harassment anymore, so she took their daughter and went abroad, completely cutting ties with him.
This is bad news for the victim who wanted compensation, because the other party is dead, has no money left, and is still in debt.
But for his ex-wife and daughter, who escaped their misery long ago, this is probably good news.
Luckily, I ran fast.
Otherwise, it would be too tragic.
