Chapter 68: Chapter 68 Incurred the Wrath of the Crowd Chapter 68: Chapter 68 Incurred the Wrath of the Crowd All I heard the public security officer whisper, “The car yesterday was driven by the mayor’s son, but for some reason, someone had tampered with it.” These few sentences were spoken in a particularly low voice.
Dian Dian nodded and then said, “Luckily, there weren’t many people on that road at the time, and it’s also fortunate that the driver, Su Xiangwei, had some sense to drive the car onto the sand pile at the construction site ahead before it stopped. I expect they’ll be arriving soon.
They left the station late last night because of the case.”
As she spoke, the sound of more voices came from outside.
The mayor arrived with his wife and child, carrying fruit and nutrition supplements in his hands, followed by the hospital’s leaders. Seeing this situation, Luo Qiao quickly stepped aside.
After exchanging pleasantries, the mayor said, “Comrade, I really want to thank you for yesterday’s incident. If it weren’t for you, a major disaster might have occurred. Don’t worry, we will take care of your medical expenses. Just focus on getting well.”
The auntie beside couldn’t bear it any longer and blurted out, “First, you should repay the medical expenses that this young lady advanced yesterday. That way, no one can accuse her of having ulterior motives.
These days, it’s hard to be a good person. She kindly advanced the money, only to be insulted. She thought the patient’s family hadn’t arrived and took care of him all night, and now that the family is here, they accuse her of having another agenda.
Ah, the world is truly deteriorating. There are all kinds of people. Someone does a good deed and still suffers grievances. It’s really unbearable to watch.”
The female public security officer listened to these words, her expression becoming stern, “Yesterday it was this young lady who asked someone to help bring the injured person here. Others gave their statements and left their contact information before heading home.
Most of them live in that area, but this young lady is from out of town. She happened to be in the city on business and stumbled upon the accident. She kept her cool and managed to stop the bleeding before bringing the injured here.
And we’ve inquired – she knows a bit about medicine – so she directed the relocation so that the comrade didn’t suffer a second injury. The attending physician from yesterday can vouch for her actions most clearly.”
Fortunately, the attending physician was also there, “Yes, if the bleeding hadn’t been stopped in time yesterday, we might not have been able to save him even if he was brought in. So, it’s fair to say this young lady deserves to be called a life-saver.”
The doctor had just finished speaking when the nurse from yesterday’s operating room happened to be there as well.
She continued, “Yesterday, this young lady advanced a hundred yuan for medical expenses as a deposit. There were many people around at the time, and perhaps not everyone had enough money on them.
So many said to let the hospital save the person first and the relatives could pay later. But our hospital has no such precedent. If it wasn’t for this young lady paying in time, things might not have gone so smoothly.”
The female public security officer continued, “Originally, she wanted to leave, but since the case wasn’t closed, and fearing that something else might happen, she was asked to stay another night.
Our comrades at the station wanted to arrange temporary accommodation for her, but she said that wouldn’t be necessary. Since the injured comrade’s family hadn’t arrived, she would rather stay and watch over him.
At that time, we were tied up with the case and didn’t have extra officers to spare, so we proceeded in this manner. Therefore, we need to clarify that the comrade acted out of heroism and kindness, not with an intention to catch the eye of someone influential.”
Having finished, she glanced at the patient and his relatives on the bed, her face looking very unpleasant.
The boy in the neighbouring bed said, “My mom is right. Their words earlier were too unpleasant. This comrade prepared food for the injured person last night and this morning, and seeing that he was inconvenient, even fed him personally.”
