"Do you agree to let me give her acupuncture?" Gu Zhiqi looked up and asked the man.
Because acupuncture would take a few minutes, if interrupted midway, the woman’s life would be at risk.
So, it was better to ask first to avoid the man disagreeing and interrupting after she had started.
"Ah?" The man was confused for a moment, "This..."
Seeing the lingering innocence on Gu Zhiqi’s face, the man wavered.
This young lady, even if she knew medical practices, could only know the basics, right?
If it were him, it wouldn’t be a big deal, but his wife...
He dared not gamble with his wife’s life.
"If I don’t insert the needles, your wife might not survive until the ambulance arrives," Gu Zhiqi calmly voiced the severity of the situation to the man.
"What?!" The man exclaimed in a panic, "Wait, you young lady, what are you saying..."
He recalled that it was Gu Zhiqi who had saved them and stopped himself.
"You have ten minutes to decide. If you change your mind, you can reach out to me at any time," Gu Zhiqi replied unemotionally to the man, said her piece at a measured pace, and then stood up, releasing the woman’s wrist.
As she put the Silver Needle back into her pocket, she also placed it in the storage device.
Seeing Gu Zhiqi putting away the needle, the man was momentarily bewildered, "Young lady, what are you..."
"Master Zhi! We’ve captured the person," the man’s words were interrupted by a robust voice.
"Let’s go, save lives," Gu Zhiqi said as she took the lead towards the accident scene behind her.
"Yes!" Gu Qi responded immediately, following Gu Zhiqi.
"Daddy, Fairy Sister is a divine being, let her save mommy," the little girl standing by, although not fully understanding the conversation between the two, somewhat knew that Fairy Sister wanted to save her mother.
The man struggled internally upon hearing that.
Looking down, there was still no sign of his wife waking up, her condition uncertain, and he felt helpless.
His eyes filled with indecision.
"Daddy, Fairy Sister is about to leave," the little girl tugged at the man’s clothes, her voice full of panic and urgency.
She felt that if Fairy Sister left, she might never see her mother again.
Watching the man still wrestling with his thoughts, the little girl suddenly let go of his clothes and ran towards Gu Zhiqi with large strides.
The child exerted all her effort, running as fast as she had ever done in her life towards Gu Zhiqi.
Gu Zhiqi was walking slowly, checking to see if anyone was still trapped under the car or needed assistance.
It didn’t take long for the child to catch up with Gu Zhiqi and grab hold of her leg, looking up with tearful eyes, "Sister, please save my mom."
Gu Zhiqi stopped walking, looked down, and met the child’s blurry tear-filled eyes.
"Please save my mom," the child said stubbornly, repeating her plea.
Watching the child in front of her, flashbacks flickered through Gu Zhiqi’s mind.
A fleeting haze in her eyes vanished instantly, leaving her expression cold and indifferent.
"Check if there’s anyone who needs saving," Gu Zhiqi instructed Gu Qi, then she returned with the child.
Seeing this, the child’s tear-streaked face broke into a pure and clean smile, "Thank you, sister."
Faced with this, Gu Zhiqi smiled lazily without much emotion, her smile ethereal and indifferent.
Children, they find happiness so easily.
Even though moments ago, they had just faced a matter of life and death.
The child led Gu Zhiqi back to the scene, where the man sat by his wife, frantic and filled with trepidation.
