Su Guoyu’s retreating steps suddenly halted.
"Do good deeds without asking about the future,"—
the saying went easily...
Su Guoyu turned his head and saw that there were a few seconds left on the red light while the cars behind had already started honking.
Su Guoyu considered that the party waiting for their meeting might already be at the designated place.
He quickly recalled what Jiangli had said.
The outcome would be the same anyhow.
He would just have to take a detour and travel a bit further!
With gritted teeth, Su Guoyu still briskly walked to the side of the car.
Peering through the window, Su Guoyu saw the situation inside clearly.
It wasn’t the robbery or violent incident he had imagined.
Sitting in the car was a pregnant woman with a big belly, looking at least six or seven months pregnant.
The woman was pale with sweat all over her face, and the hem of her dress was stained with blood as she continually touched her belly.
Seeing Su Guoyu approach, she stretched out her bloody hand pleadingly towards him, "Save me... save my baby..."
Su Guoyu saw that there was no one else in the car, so it must have been a sudden onset of labor for the pregnant woman.
He hurriedly reached in, opened the car door from the inside, unfastened the woman’s seat belt, and carried her out.
At this moment, the cars behind were honking incessantly, with some people sticking their heads out of the windows, pointing fingers, and cursing.
Su Guoyu couldn’t care about that now. He carried the pregnant woman to the back seat of his own car and quickly got in, found the nearest hospital on the GPS, and drove there.
The passersby as well as the cars behind now realized something was wrong. Someone helped to call the police, while others made way.
Su Guoyu drove and called the hospital using the contact information he had, asking them to prepare in advance or to send an ambulance to meet them partway.
The hospital quickly agreed, someone would be waiting at the entrance to receive them.
Su Guoyu hung up the phone and glanced at the pregnant woman in the backseat through the rear-view mirror. Sweat was also beading on his forehead as he gripped the steering wheel tightly, "Hang in there, miss... we’re almost at the hospital..."
The pregnant woman continued to scream in agony.
Su Guoyu’s own hairs stood on end as he drove as though the car was about to take flight.
He didn’t even realize how far he had pressed the accelerator until he snapped back to his senses and found himself at the hospital.
As he carried the woman in and out of the car, his clothes were smeared with quite a bit of blood. Standing outside the operating room, he felt utterly dazed as he stared at the bloodstains on his clothing.
Just then, his phone rang again.
In a flurry, Su Guoyu picked it up to see that it was a call from a client. His heart skipped a beat, and he quickly answered, "Hello, Mr. Jin, I am..."
Before he could finish, the other side angrily cut in, "Mr. Su, let’s call off this deal."
With that, the caller hung up.
Su Guoyu went pale, completely dumbfounded.
The next second, his eyes reddened.
He squatted against the wall, clutching his phone, and raked his fingers through his hair, though there was nothing to regret now.
At most, it was just taking a bit of a detour...
If this cooperation didn’t work out, he would just try harder next time.
Su Guoyu wiped his face, comforting himself. One deal, if it could be traded for two lives, was worth it, so worth it!
He still felt uncomfortable inside.
Under the blazing sun, Su Guoyu stood in the hospital, as if there was a fire burning inside him.
Jiangli was sitting in the side hall at this moment, enjoying the freshly installed air conditioning, quite comfortable.
She was drawing Talismans while waiting for Xia Xin to return.
Sensing something, her hand with the brush suddenly stopped.
