Luo Xiaolang ran with Ji Baixin on her back, moving at a swift pace.
The security guards were petrified by Luo Xiaolang’s actions.
Was this person fleeing out of guilt and run off with the victim?!
After a few seconds of gaping, a few security guards quickly gave chase and called the police on the way.
Luo Xiaolang was remarkably fast.
Ji Baixin was on Luo Xiaolang’s back, in too much pain to speak.
There was a fashion exhibit in the mall today, starting at 2 p.m., and she needed to go arrange the clothing. But the clothing she designed had a problem, that she needed to fix. So she was rushing and didn’t notice the car parked at the front of the hotel suddenly starting up. The next second, she was hit and fell to the ground.
Through her daze, she saw Luo Xiaolang who hit her, and at this moment, she knew it was Luo Xiaolang carrying her, running at top speed.
Upon arrival at the hospital, Luo Xiaolang went directly to the emergency department and carried Ji Baixin into the emergency room.
Luo Xiaolang’s forehead was dripping with sweat.
The security guards followed all the way, watching Luo Xiaolang send her to the emergency room while gasping for breath.
What on earth is this woman made of, she’s incredibly fast.
Covering such a distance even while carrying a person, they could barely keep up.
For now, satisfied that she was brought to the hospital, they took a breather.
Luo Xiaolang was looking at the door to the emergency room and immediately dialed Yin Qin saying, “Yin Qin, I hit someone…”
“What?” At this, Yin Qin practically jumped out of his office chair.
“I hit Ji Baixin.”
“WHAT?!” Yin Qin was on the verge of exploding at this moment.
Just who had Luo Xiaolang hit?!
“I ‘ve taken her to the hospital. She’s currently in the emergency room.”
“Which hospital?”
“I’ll send you the address.” Luo Xiaolang hung up the phone.
She sent Yin Qin the location using the phone’s map application.
The moment she finished sending the message, she stared blankly.
At first, she didn’t think about Song Zhizhi, but now, all she could think about was Yin Qin.
She paused for a moment before deciding against calling Song Zhizhi, remembering that she had important things to do today. She clenched her teeth and put down the phone.
Meanwhile, the police had arrived.
Following the security guards’ direction, they walked to Luo Xiaolang and asked her, “Did you hit someone?”
“Yes.” Luo Xiaolang replied.
“How’s the victim’s condition?”
“I don’t know,” Luo Xiaolang shook her head and added, “I think she will survive.”
The police looked at Luo Xiaolang.
Luo Xiaolang was telling the truth.
Based on her quick assessment, Ji Baixin appeared to have suffered only superficial injuries.
The police proceeded to ask Luo Xiaolang some more questions and finally suggested, “From the information you’ve provided, along with eyewitness accounts, you’re fully liable for this accident. You will need to cover all costs incurred by the victim, including medical bills, hospitalization, nursing fee, energy, nutrition costs, and one-time disability supplement, mental harm compensation, and so on. This will be determined based on the victim’s final condition. I recommend you report it to your insurance company first.”
Luo Xiaolang didn’t understand half of what the police officer said. All she asked was, “Do I need to go to the police station with you now?”
“Not for now. Once the victim is out of the emergency room and we know more about her condition, it would be best if you could reach a settlement.”
“Oh.”
Luo Xiaolang didn’t ask anything further.
After a while,
Yin Qin arrived in a hurry. He spotted Luo Xiaolang at once, walked over quickly and asked, “How’s Ji Baixin?”
In his haste, his forehead was drenched in sweat.
It looked like he ran all the way here.
His worried expression was clear for all to see.
Luo Xiaolang had an unsettling feeling, but she didn’t pay it much attention. She said, “I don’t know. She’s in the emergency room now. We’re waiting for her to come out. I think she wouldn’t die…”
“To you, does anything less than death not count as an issue?!” Yin Qin grew angry at that point, “You’ve undergone special training so you’re not afraid of pain or injury, but Ji Baixin is an ordinary person. She hasn’t gone through what you have. She can’t withstand the pain that you can!”
Luo Xiaolang stared at Yin Qin, then fell silent.
Yin Qin didn’t care about Luo Xiaolang’s feelings at all. He asked anxiously, “How long has she been in there?”
“A while,” Luo Xiaolang replied.
“What do you mean ‘a while’? Was she taken in there when you called or when was it?”
“When I called you.”
“Is that what you call ‘a while’? It has been so long!” Yin Qin was fuming.
Luo Xiaolang didn’t say anything anymore.
About half an hour later,
The door to the emergency room opened.
Yin Qin immediately went over, grabbed the doctor, and asked anxiously, “How’s Ji Baixin?”
“She’s fine, mainly superficial injuries that we’ve treated and dressed up,” the doctor replied.
“Is the injury area large?”
“Rather large, but she should recover quickly.”
Just as Yin Qin was about to ask another question, he saw Ji Baixin sitting in a wheelchair being pushed out by the nurse.
She had white bandages wrapped around her in multiple places, which made her look somewhat horrifying.
He hurried over.
Ji Baixin looked up at Yin Qin.
Next moment, she turned her gaze away.
Yin Qin opened his mouth but swallowed his words.
At this moment, the police came over, asked about the situation briefly, confirmed it could be sorted between themselves and then left the hospital.
Ji Baixin tried to stand up from the wheelchair.
She had a fashion show in the afternoon, and still had to go back to make alterations to the problematic clothing.
She just got up.
“Ah!” She let out a low cry.
Because she had just injured her knee, as soon as she stood up, the pain forced her to cry out involuntarily.
Yin Qin immediately went to steady Ji Baixin.
Ji Baixin frowned slightly.
Yin Qin also felt Ji Baixin’s rejection, and quickly let go of her. “Where are you going?”
“I have something to do.”
“With your current condition, it’s best to stay in the hospital for a few days.”
“The doctor said there is no need for me to be hospitalized.” Ji Baixin was straightforward.
“Then let me take you…” Yin Qin paused, “Never mind, I will call Li Wenjun to come and pick you up.”
“No need, he is at work. I don’t want to bother him.” Ji Baixin refused directly.
“You had a car accident, and he’s still in the mood to work?” Yin Qin raised his voice somewhat.
“None of your business.” Ji Baixin managed to stand up from the wheelchair.
She gritted her teeth and walked towards the hospital exit.
“Ji Baixin!” Yin Qin quickly stepped forward and blocked her way.
Ji Baixin looked pale.
“Either I take you, or let Li Wenjun pick you up. Your choice!” Yin Qin’s tone was stern.
Ji Baixin looked at him.
Such was the standoff between them.
At that moment, Yin Qin was prepared to give in.
Ji Baixin said, “I’m going to the Jinhe Hotel.”
Yin Qin was somewhat taken aback.
He nearly didn’t grasp her meaning at that moment.
Did she mean to let him take her?!
Even though he knew deep down Ji Baixin didn’t want Li Wenjun to make a special trip just for her, he couldn’t help but feel a thrill of excitement.
He said, very seriously, “I will assist you.”
He meant they would be in physical contact.
Ji Baixin chose to remain silent at that moment.
Yin Qin reached out to aid Ji Baixin’s arm.
Ji Baixin, under Yin Qin’s support, limped slowly forward.
Luo Xiaolang watched their departing figures, watched as the distance between her and them grew greater and greater.
She felt she had been acting oddly during this period.
Perhaps her condition had gotten worse.
She felt a piercing pain in her chest, which seemed to be getting worse.
She silently followed them.
Yin Qin helped Ji Baixin to the Jinhe Hotel, then took her to her makeshift studio.
As soon as Ji Baixin arrived at the studio, she threw herself into her work.
Yin Qin watched her, watched her for a very long time before he reluctantly left.
It seemed this was the first time Ji Baixin didn’t lash out with harsh words and reject him when he got close.
He turned around to see Luo Xiaolang still behind him.
He was so excited, he impulsively put Luo Xiaolang under his arm in an affectionate manner.
As Ji Baixin was dealing with her work, she turned to glance back and saw the extremely affectionate scene between Yin Qin and Luo Xiaolang.
“Director Ji.” A staff member called her, noticing she seemed out of sorts.
Ji Baixin turned back, “Hm, this issue needs to be addressed this way…”
She quickly got back to the tasks at hand.
Yin Qin, having left, sat in Luo Xiaolang’s passenger seat.
He hummed a tune, seeming in high spirits.
Luo Xiaolang was silent the whole way.
“Why aren’t you speaking?” Yin Qin asked her.
Luo Xiaolang didn’t respond, focusing on driving.
“No, I have to message Li Wenjun. Once Baixin finishes work, someone needs to pick her up.” Yin Qin mumbled.
He started to type a message on his phone.
Message sent.
Quite content, Yin Qin received a reply to his message, “Didn’t Baixin tell you, I’m out of the country? Could you please take care of her for me? I need to go on a business trip for a week.”
