Due to a traffic jam on the expressway, a long queue had formed, which was most distressing for people like Gu Qingchen who were in a rush to get things done.
Many of the drivers caught in the jam on the expressway also got out of their cars, discussing the car accident up ahead.
"I heard it was a five-car pile-up; the damage must be significant..."
"I wonder how the casualties are? Material losses are secondary at this point..."
"I heard a family of four is trapped in their car, and it doesn’t look good..."
Gu Qingchen got out of his car and checked the GPS for real-time traffic conditions on his phone. Seeing it was about five hundred meters ahead, he quickly ran forward.
Upon reaching the accident scene, traffic police were maintaining order, but the ambulance hadn’t arrived yet.
"I’m Doctor Gu Qingchen. I’m also on the road and heard about the accident, so I’ve come to check the situation," Gu Qingchen said.
The traffic officer immediately responded, "The cause of the accident is still under investigation. Currently, it’s a five-car pile-up. The last four cars have minor injuries and can hold on, but the first car is the unluckiest, with the rear severely deformed. The driver, the Father, is stuck in the driver’s seat, the Mother has fainted in the passenger seat, and a pair of children in the back seat. All four family members are trapped and can’t get out."
"Have you called the firefighters?" Gu Qingchen reached out to pull at the door of the car involved in the accident, which was so badly deformed from the impact that it couldn’t be opened!
"They’ve already been called! They’re on their way!" replied the traffic officer.
At that moment, the driver, who was also the head of the family, knocked out the car window glass from the inside. He looked out and said, "Ah, sir, Doctor, you must save my wife and children..."
Gu Qingchen nodded, "The ambulance and firefighters are already on their way at top speed. I’ll check you first. Your foot is stuck and can’t come out; does it hurt when I press ?"
"It hurts..." the driver immediately responded. "Doctor, you don’t have to worry about me, I’m still conscious. Please check my wife and kids, I beg you..."
At that point, Gu Qingchen walked over to the passenger side, where the driver had managed to knock out the glass where his wife and children were seated.
Gu Qingchen felt for a pulse on his wife’s neck artery, "She’s only passed out temporarily from the violent collision. As for whether there’s brain damage, we need further examination to determine..."
"And my children..." the driver turned his head to look at his son and daughter, who were tightly embracing each other. The sudden accident had them brushing shoulders with death on the expressway.
The boy, who was slightly older, looked about seven or eight, was holding his sister, who seemed around four or five, in his arms. The little girl’s crying had turned her voice hoarse, her small face stained with tears, and her eyes filled with terror, as well as blood on her face.
The trunk was dented in from the impact. The two siblings, small in stature, were trapped in the back seat with injuries and unable to move.
Gu Qingchen looked at them and then thought of his own children...
He reached out and gently wiped the tears from the girl’s face, "Little sister, be good, don’t cry. Uncle is a doctor, uncle will check on you, and soon the firefighter uncles will come to rescue you..."
"Sister, don’t cry. Daddy, Mommy, and brother are all here!" The little boy also comforted his sister.
The little girl was still sobbing in terror; Gu Qingchen extended his hands and stroked down from the top of her head: "Do you feel any pain? Tell uncle if it hurts..."
"It doesn’t hurt..." the little girl gently shook her head.
Gu Qingchen’s hand moved to the little girl’s neck, "What about here?"
"That doesn’t hurt either..." the little girl shook her head.
Gu Qingchen checked her back and front, and the little girl started crying again, "It really hurts..."
By then, the ambulance and firefighters had arrived. Gu Qingchen said to the doctor, "I’ve done a preliminary check. When the car was hit, the little girl suffered internal injuries from compression, the little boy still needs to be checked, the mother is unconscious due to a head impact with the windshield, and the father’s foot is trapped in the driver’s seat and can’t move... Given the current conditions, their injuries don’t seem too severe, but we need the firefighters to immediately cut open the car doors and rescue everyone, otherwise if too much time passes and there’s excessive blood loss..."
"Thank you so much..." the emergency doctor immediately said, "We’ll take care of the scene now!"
Gu Qingchen nodded; looking at the long line of cars, he knew it wouldn’t clear out shortly, so he simply borrowed a motorcycle from the police and drove forward...
Hotel, wedding ceremony scene.
Like the sound of thunderous applause, Mu Qing stood in the water lifting Hai Rong, who was in an inverted stance, their fingers both adorned with sparkling diamond rings.
