Chapter 75: Chapter 51 Fear Afterwards
Upon seeing Fu Yisi’s gloomy expression, Xiao Zhang suddenly couldn’t speak. Fu Yisi’s brows furrowed tightly
“What happened?”
The man’s voice was cold and deep, as if he had a premonition, his jawline tightly clenched, eyes deep and cold like the deep sea at night.
This was the first time Xiao Zhang had seen Fu Yisi like this. He opened his mouth, but the words changed as they reached his lips
“Dr. Fu, Ms. Ji is outside”
Fu Yisi’s tightly knitted brows slightly loosened, but he was somewhat puzzled by Xiao Zhang’s earlier expression, until he saw Ji Sang on the bench outside, biting her teeth and letting the nurse tend to her wound, then he understood Xiao Zhang’s hesitation.
...
The man pursed his lips and stepped forward, the nurse, sensing the approaching chill, subconsciously looked up
“Dr. Fu, you’re here.”
As she spoke, she also put down what she was holding and tactfully left.
Fu Yisi’s gaze lowered, looking at the bleeding wound on Ji Sang’s calf, he squatted down and continued the treatment without a word, not even giving the woman a glance.
Ji Sang touched her nose, feeling somewhat guilty as she watched the man in front of her
Before hanging up the phone, she had confidently claimed she could drive without issues, not expecting to be proven wrong so quickly.
However…
It truly wasn’t her fault this time, thinking of what had just occurred, Ji Sang’s face also darkened slightly.
Due to the sudden accident, the hospital was noisy, but the bench in the corner seemed like a world of its own, specifically carved out.
The man crouched on the ground with a somber face, treating the woman’s wound, while the woman sitting obediently in the chair gingerly tugged at the man’s sleeve
“Fu Yisi, I was very careful.”
The man paused his movements, raised his head to look at Ji Sang, who was biting her lip and looking uneasy, then indifferently shifted his gaze away.
“What happened here then?”
The wound wasn’t just bumped open, but was seriously worsened, and there were abrasions and bruises on the other leg as well.
Perhaps upset by Fu Yisi’s cold tone, Ji Sang suddenly felt a bit aggrieved, her fingers angrily twisting the corner of her clothes.
“It was clearly your fault for not fixing the car properly.”
She had just accelerated, and when she tried to stop, she realized something was wrong with the brakes. Swiftly releasing the accelerator, she continued to drive a stretch before forcefully stopping at a green belt.
Fortunately, there weren’t many cars on that road.
“What do you mean?”
Fu Yisi suddenly furrowed his brows and looked at her, the sternness in his eyes startled Ji Sang, who then softened her voice and slowly explained the recent incident.
“You didn’t check the brakes after the car repair?”
As she mentioned this, Ji Sang’s complexion turned even paler. When she realized something was wrong with the brakes, she was truly frightened.
Afraid that it might end up costing her life.
Listening to her quietly laying out the events, Fu Yisi’s heart pounded fiercely, a vein on his forehead faintly bulging, his expression instantly turning frigid
Bending down for a thorough check.
“Are there any other injuries?”
His tone unusually fluctuated, revealing a bit of a flaw, a bit of nervousness.
Ji Sang shook her head.
“No, I handled it in time.”
The man paused his inspection, looking at Ji Sang who now seemed calm, suddenly lifted her up and, amid her slight exclamation and the gaze of others, carried her into the office.
The door was somewhat roughly closed.
Fu Yisi placed Ji Sang on the desk, and before she could make a sound, a cold, gentle kiss landed on Ji Sang’s forehead.
Then, the man seemingly deflated, pulled Ji Sang into his embrace, resting his head on her shoulder
“I’m sorry.”
He hadn’t expected the situation to be so alarming.
After she had just gone through such an ordeal, he had still maintained a cold demeanor towards her.
He suddenly felt very fortunate that the serial car accident had occurred earlier than her off-work time. If she had left work a bit earlier…
He dared not imagine.
Ji Sang was momentarily stunned by Fu Yisi’s unexpected kiss and hug, feeling the man’s concern. Her hand, hanging by her side, hesitated for a long time but still gently rose to pat the man’s sadness lightly.
Then, she noticed the man’s body seemed to stiffen for a moment.
“I’m fine.”
Possibly because of the man’s evident worry, Ji Sang—who had initially been calm—started to feel her eyes redden and a bitter feeling welled up from within.
Sometimes, that’s how people are. One can endure grievances alone, but once someone shows concern, or even worry, grievances flow like an opened valve, impossible to retract.
Ji Sang bit her lips hard, trying to stabilize her emotions, but her body couldn’t help but tremble slightly.
The man noticed, let go, and pulled Ji Sang away a little.
“Ji Sang?”
The woman kept her head down, not responding, but her body, which was trembling secretly, began to shake more obviously.
The man sighed, reached out to lift her chin, and when he touched the moisture in her eyes, his throat suddenly tightened.
“Scared?”
Fu Yisi raised his hand and brushed under her eyes.
“Ji Sang, it’s okay to cry.”
The man’s voice was very low and husky. Ji Sang blinked, tears clinging to her eyelashes, which looked pitiful, but instantly, that feeling of grievance dissipated.
The fear was real; she did indeed want to cry, but seeing the man’s serious face uttering “it’s okay to cry,”
she found it unexpectedly funny.
Suddenly expressing such gentle consideration, she was still not used to it.
“Fu Yisi, don’t you feel awkward saying that?”
Fu Yisi: …
The man paused, and seeing the smile in Ji Sang’s eyes, his lips slightly curved.
“Really?”
Then his fingers gently moved down, pinching Ji Sang’s cheek and rubbing it vigorously.
Heartless woman, not only did she startle him, but she even complained.
Ji Sang, in pain, raised her hand to the pinched area, glaring at Fu Yisi annoyed.
“What are you doing!”
Fu Yisi didn’t speak but took her down and let her sit in his chair.
“You just mentioned the brakes were broken?”
The man’s mood recovered, keenly sensing the issue in Ji Sang’s earlier words.
“Yes, I pressed down fully but it was useless, thankfully I wasn’t driving fast.”
Otherwise, stopping would have been troublesome.
Hearing her words, Fu Yisi’s expression suddenly darkened.
“It’s unlikely. The brakes were fine when it was last checked. That shop is run by an acquaintance who would check thoroughly, and…”
The man’s voice grew heavier.
“Wasn’t it fine yesterday?”
Ji Sang was stunned for a moment, instantly understanding Fu Yisi’s implication.
Indeed, there was no mistake; she had driven to work just fine yesterday, so it was impossible for the brakes to fail so completely all of a sudden.
Which meant, between yesterday morning and getting off work today, someone deliberately sabotaged her brakes.
Who could it be?

Suddenly, an image of a car flashed through her mind.
Could it be the person who had been following her?
