Chapter 975: Chapter 1035
Gu Shili and Rong Yun went back with her, while Rong Yuan stayed behind to help Yao Yao deal with the Ke Family’s matters, and would return once done.
...
Upon returning, Qiao Qiqi found out that her brother Qiao Jiezhe had been in a car accident and was hospitalized, so she, Rong Yun, and Gu Shili rushed to the hospital immediately.
Qiao Jiezhe was seriously injured, with a fractured left leg and a fractured right arm. To be honest, if it weren’t for his luck, he might have not survived this time.
Qiao Qiqi looked at her brother’s miserable state and frowned deeply.
"Sister, don’t worry about me like this. I’m fine, it’s just fractures, everything else is okay. The doctors said I was lucky." Qiao Jiezhe didn’t want to see his sister upset.
Seeing this, Qiao Qiqi took a deep breath, and just then, Chen Zhen opened the door and walked in, exclaiming in surprise, "Mr. Qiao, you’re back?"
"Yes, why are you here?"
Even if Qiao Jiezhe was injured and hospitalized, there was no need for him to come to the hospital, right?
"Mi Huan was in the car accident with Jiezhe, and her injuries are lighter, just a fractured arm. She’s also being treated in the hospital now." Chen Zhen explained.
"I’ll go see her." Qiao Qiqi said and left the ward, leaving Rong Yun and Gu Shili to accompany Qiao Jiezhe.
"Where’s the fracture, let me see." Rong Yun couldn’t resist reaching over.
"Oh, don’t touch, don’t touch, it hurts... it hurts..." Qiao Jiezhe immediately cried out exaggeratedly.
"I haven’t even touched it yet!" Rong Yun drew back his restless little finger, speechless.
Gu Shili looked worried. After all, this was his brother-in-law, so of course he was concerned.
...
Qiao Qiqi arrived at Mi Huan’s ward. She was resting, but when she saw Qiao Qiqi coming in, Mi Huan sat up quickly.
"You should lie down, I’m just here to check on you."
"I really don’t have any major issues. The bone will heal in a few days. It’s just that President Chen insisted on me staying a few days out of caution." Mi Huan explained.
"Injuries to the bones still need to be taken seriously. Just rest for now." Qiao Qiqi advised.
Mi Huan smiled and agreed.
After leaving her ward, Qiao Qiqi asked Chen Zhen about the car accident situation.
"At the time, a large truck’s brakes failed and crashed into the car Mr. Qiao was sitting in. Mr. Qiao and Mi Huan were sitting in the back without seat belts. The police said it was fortunate that Mr. Qiao left his seat to protect Mi Huan and narrowly escaped death. Otherwise, he... might not have survived."
Recalling the scene, Chen Zhen felt a lingering fear. The side of the car where Qiao Jiezhe had sat was completely wrecked. Thanks to his kindness and his action of leaving his seat to shield Mi Huan, he only sustained fractures; otherwise, he might have ended up like the driver, dead from the accident.
After checking on her brother and ensuring he was okay, the three of them headed back.
On the way back, Qiao Qiqi found the video from the time of her brother’s accident. The car her brother was in wasn’t the only one hit, two others were also severely damaged. It was reportedly a major accident, resulting in 3 deaths and 6 injuries.
The driver has been taken into custody by the police. They ruled out drunk driving and drug driving; it was due to the old age and malfunction of the truck’s brakes.
But Qiao Qiqi couldn’t shake the feeling that something was off.
"You’ve been on a plane all day, you must be tired. Take a break and don’t look at these for now." Gu Shili said, feeling sorry for her and not wanting her to tire herself further.
"Okay, I got it. You should also get some rest. Thank you for everything." Qiao Qiqi turned off her phone and smiled at him.
