Inside a special care ward, an elderly Doctor and several assistants were busy tending to Ling Yi's body.
"No signs of cardiac resuscitation, current value 35..." a Doctor said urgently, staring at the data on the electronic screen.
"Increase the power, continue!" The old Doctor gripped the defibrillator with both hands and pressed it hard against Ling Yi's chest again.
"Bang!"
"The patient's heart stopped for more than 3 minutes, and the blood pressure dropped below 30."
"Bang!"
Twenty minutes later, the old Doctor sighed and reluctantly put down the defibrillator.
On the electronic screen, Ling Yi's electrocardiogram curve had completely flattened, and most of the data had returned to zero.
"Announcing death: Time of death: June 3, 2026, 5:25 AM; Name: Ling Yi; Gender: Male; Age: 17..."
At that moment, a woman's voice, trembling with tears, pleaded, " Doctor Li, please try to save him again! He's still so young."
"Ms. Jiang, I'm so sorry, but the dead cannot Resurrection. Please accept my condolences."
The woman, her face pale, approached Ling Yi 'Ling Yi bedside. Looking at his slightly swollen and pale face, she repeatedly murmured, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to, I'm so sorry!"
The woman's name was Jiang Hongming, and she was the Siji who hit Ling Yi with her car.
As for the other Siji, he never appeared.
Doctor Li and the others were also helpless. As Doctor, even though they were used to seeing life and death, the loss of such a young life still made them feel extremely heavy-hearted.
At first, Doctor Li and the others were hostile towards Jiang Hongming.
Sports cars, beautiful women, and perpetrators—these three elements combined are bound to evoke disgust.
However, after spending the past two weeks with her, Doctor Li and the others discovered that Jiang Hongming was not as bad as they had imagined.
Since sending Ling Yi to the hospital, she has practically lived there, either staying by Ling Yi bedside or waiting for MU Online to happen.
They were either busy handling various procedures and paying related fees for Ling Yi.
At least Jiang Hongming isn't the kind of person who shirks responsibility.
In reality, if we really look at it, the main responsibility for this accident lies with Ling Yi.
Ling Yi got out of school a little late that day, and in his haste, he climbed over the railing, which led to the tragedy.
Jiang Hongming is not responsible and can completely ignore Ling Yi.
But Jiang Hongming is a kind girl.
Especially after learning that Ling Yi was an orphan, Jiang Hongming took the initiative to cover all the expenses and stayed at the hospital the whole time.
She didn't want such a young life to be lost because of her.
In today's world, where kindness is almost synonymous with "foolishness," people like Jiang Hongming are truly rare.
For the past two weeks, Jiang Hongming has been under tremendous pressure.
The pressure came from Ling Yi's school and from the internet.
The school, under the pretext of seeking justice for Ling Yi, kept coming to find Jiang Hongming.
But the true purpose disgusted Jiang Hongming.
The school didn't care at all whether Ling Yi lived or died.
On the one hand, this event serves as a way to promote the school.
On the other hand, they wanted to extract some benefits from Jiang Hongming.
The principal was very straightforward at the time: as long as Jiang Hongming gave the school a "donation" of 5 million yuan, the school would no longer pursue the matter.
But what does this have to do with the school?
Jiang Hongming naturally refused.
This enraged the principal, who then mobilized the media, stirring up an online storm.
Today, Jiang Hongming is universally condemned online as an "executioner," a "privileged individual," and a "social scum."
In particular, some unscrupulous livestreamers, in order to gain traffic, completely disregard the truth and spread all kinds of rumors and slander.
The online storm is getting bigger and bigger, and it's becoming increasingly difficult to distinguish between truth and falsehood.
Netizens are only focusing on three things.
What is Ling Yi's current situation as the victim?
Why hasn't Jiang Hongming, the "perpetrator," been punished yet?
Who is their " Umbrella "?
This incident not only affected Jiang Hongming, but also her family.
Because of this incident, her father was removed from his position as a director by a joint petition from the company's board of directors.
My mother's clothing store is surrounded by a group of online influencers who claim to be "righteous" every day!
People used to block the entrance every day, and the storefront was always covered with wreaths, but now it's closed.
" Doctor Li, Ms. Jiang, something terrible has happened! The principal of Dafeng City No. 3 Middle School has rushed over with a lot of reporters, and we can't stop him at all."
A young nurse pushed open the ward door, panting as she spoke.
"Sigh!" Doctor Li sighed, his face full of disgust.
The other Doctor also looked furious; as insiders, they naturally knew the truth of the matter.
But they can't get involved in this matter.
Once the news of Ling Yi's death is released, who knows how the internet will react and how it will escalate?
It seems that this kind-hearted girl, Jiang Hongming, will be completely ruined by this online storm.
Jiang Hongming took a deep breath and said to Doctor Li, " Doctor Li, you shouldn't get involved in this. All they want is a result, right? Then give them a result."
Doctor Li wanted to say something, but after opening his mouth several times, he only managed to say "I'm sorry" in the end.
He dared not get involved in the storm, so he could only lead a group of Doctor and leave in another direction.
What they didn't notice was that a resolute glint flashed in Jiang Hongming's eyes at that moment.
"This whole thing started because of me, so I'll end it myself. I'm so tired!"
She looked at Ling Yi, who was lying motionless on the hospital bed, and tears streamed down her face involuntarily.
Ultimately, this young man lost his life because of his own actions!
Wiping away her tears, Jiang Hongming opened the door and walked out of the intensive care unit.
As soon as she stepped out of the room, she was greeted by a barrage of flashing lights.
Jiang Hongming stared expressionlessly at the internet celebrities, livestreamers, and various media outlets.
In the crowd, the obese Principal Guo Ming was looking at her with a mocking expression.
" Jiang Hongming, who gave you the right to disregard the lives of others like this?"
"Ms. Jiang Hongming, how is Ling Yi now? Is he in any danger? Why were you able to Escape legal punishment? Who is Umbrella you people?"
"Give us the truth. The public has the right to know. The entire internet is watching this. You executioner, don't think you can get away with this."
Jiang Hongming looked at these people and asked coldly, "Do you believe in the truth? You only believe in what you think is the truth."
"As media professionals, respecting the truth is our principle. What do you mean by that? The facts are right in front of you. Are you still trying to deny it?"
"Heh!" Jiang Hongming was utterly disappointed in these people. They dared to claim they respected the truth?
"You want the truth, so I'll give you the truth. Please be quiet!"
Jiang Hongming took out her phone and played a recording.
This recording contains the words Principal Guo spoke when he extorted money from her.
The recording was short, less than three minutes long.
"Heh, Jiang Hongming, you think you can fool me with a fabricated recording? You're dreaming," Guo Ming said unhurriedly.
" Ling Yi is an outstanding student whom our school is focusing on developing. His academic performance is exceptionally good, and he will undoubtedly become a pillar of the nation in the future..."
Just then, a voice rang out from inside the ward.
"What a pillar of the nation!"
As the sound faded, the ward door opened, and Ling Yi walked out while pulling bandages off his body, blocking Jiang Hongming's path.
Everyone was completely baffled. Wasn't Ling Yi supposed to be critically injured and on the verge of death? What's going on now?
"The school has threatened to expel me, a pillar of the nation, several times because of tuition fees."
"My homeroom teacher even humiliated me several times in front of the whole class because I didn't have money to buy a Computer."
"You dare to sell Computer that cost three or four hundred yuan for eight thousand? If you don't buy one, you'll be fired. You really have the future in mind, don't you?"
"There was no other way. As the pillar of the family, I had to work six jobs a day, and it took me just one month to finally save up enough money to buy the Computer."
"That day was payday at the restaurant where I worked. It was my act of crossing the road and climbing over the railing that caused Ms. Jiang to be unable to brake in time."
"I heard clearly what you said to threaten Ms. Jiang that day."
Ling Yi's words caused an uproar, and this scene was broadcast live by some streamers.
Even at this point, Guo Ming remained calm.
"It seems you must have accepted hush money from the Jiang Family, Ling Yi. How could you bow down to evil forces? You've really disappointed me."
"As expected of a school principal, his eloquence is truly impressive."
Ling Yi clapped his hands in admiration, his face full of Taunt.
"On May 22nd, the day after Principal Guo threatened Ms. Jiang, you transferred three sums of money from your bank account, each amount being 500,000 yuan."
"How did you know?" Guo Ming asked instinctively in surprise.
But as soon as he asked the question, he immediately realized he was in trouble and hurriedly tried to say something to salvage the situation, but how could Ling Yi possibly give him that chance?
"And the recipients were Bai Hai, Zhao Wengao, and Liu Xiangcheng, all of whom are division-level leaders. Principal Guo has incredibly powerful connections."
"You're talking nonsense..."
"Shut up!"
Ling Yi roared, his voice like a thunderclap from a clear sky, causing the corridor to reverberate with a buzzing echo.
"Don't rush, you have plenty of excuses to make."
After his outburst, Ling Yi regained his composure and Taunt.
Then, he scanned the room, his gaze slowly sweeping over the faces of each anchor, as if trying to memorize their features.
"Since you're so eager for the truth and so craving clicks, why don't you investigate this Principal Guo? I'm sure he'll give you even more surprises."
"Just a heads-up, that 1.5 million wasn't spent in vain; otherwise, why would the surveillance video of that section of road have disappeared?"
"Don't you want the truth?"
Ling Yi took out his phone from his pocket and quickly tapped a few buttons on it.
The next moment, a series of mobile phone notification sounds rang out.
"I've sent the evidence to all of you. It contains a lot of shocking content, so please try to censor it when you send it out!"
After Ling Yi finished speaking, he gave Jiang Hongming a look, and the two of them went back into the ward.
Even though these people still had many questions, they couldn't care less about Ling Yi and the others right now.
Just as Ling Yi said, the content Ling Yi sent them was indeed very explosive.
