Qiao Lian walked alone along the street.
She wasn’t sure where she was heading.
Leave Shen Liangchuan?
How could that be possible?
She took a deep breath, discarded all the confusing thoughts in her head for the moment, and strode forward.
After a moment, her cell phone rang.
She picked up the call and heard Song Cheng’s voice. He sounded terribly anxious, “Sister Qiao, Brother Shen had an accident and he’s in the hospital. Can you get here quickly?!”
Her hand went weak for a moment and she almost dropped her phone.
–
In the hospital.
Shen Liangchuan’s eyes were shut, and he was quietly lying on the hospital bed.
One leg was bandaged and tied to the bed, to prevent it from moving.
Xia Yehua sat beside him with a deep frown on her forehead, looking very nervous and concerned. “What is the matter? First, he faints and now he’s gotten into an accident. What is wrong with Shen Liangchuan?”
Song Cheng scratched his head and replied, “I have no idea.”
Xia Yehua persisted, “Did something happen to the company? Is it in some sort of trouble?”
Song Cheng was on the verge of tears as he said, “Ever since he proved his skills with the Suzhou development, all other investments we’ve made recently have been doing well. The people trust his acumen and there’s been no trouble. He’s just tired.”
Xia Yehua sighed, “What is wrong with this year?”
Qiao Lian listened quietly to their conversation, her eyes fixed on the man on the hospital bed.
His face was pale and drained of blood.
He used to be in peak health, but he had lost much weight recently.
Even though his eyes were shut, his brow was tightly knitted.
As though something was troubling him, and he would not let it go.
Frowning, Xia Yehua looked at Song Cheng and asked, “How did the accident happen?”
The accident wasn’t serious, because the driver had braked aggressively. It had ended up with Shen Liangchuan injuring his leg.
Almost crying now, Song Cheng said, “I don’t really know. We had knocked off and gone to the underground parking. I went to get the car and Brother Shen waited for me to pick him up. And when I arrived, he had already been hit!”
Still frowning, Xia Yehua continued questioning him, “And the driver who caused the accident? Did he escape?”
Song Cheng shook his head and answered, “No. The driver… the driver is one of our company’s employees.”
At these words, someone approached them. He was nervously looking at Song Cheng and said, “Brother- Brother Song, is Best Actor Shen- is Best Actor Shen ok?”
Song Cheng pointed at the man and said, “He’s the driver.”
Qiao Lian and Xia Yehua simultaneously shifted their gaze to the man.
Immediately, he looked frightened and was almost in tears. “I didn’t do it on purpose, and I did not break any traffic regulations either. I was reversing and intending to leave the parking. The lighting in the parking is a little dim, as you know. I don’t know why but Best Actor Shen seemed to suddenly get in the way, it was too sudden…”
Shen Liangchuan’s life wasn’t in any danger. It was just that this man was in a shock and was stammering.
Qiao Lian couldn’t bear to berate him.
So she kept silent.
Song Cheng said, “Ok, Xiao Tang, we’ll know where the fault lies once we take a look at the recording. Don’t be nervous, we won’t be unfair with you.”
Xiao Tang nodded and lowered his head dejectedly.
After a short while, Song Cheng’s cell phone rang. He looked down at the screen and saw that a video had been sent.
He immediately frowned and said, “I just received the recording of the accident.”
