Translator: 549690339
In front of them was a sea of flames.
Song Zhizhi and Ji Baijian stared at the scene unfolding before them.
In the next moment, Song Zhizhi flung open the car door without hesitation.
“Song Zhizhi!” Ji Baijian reached out.
But by that time, Song Zhizhi had already gotten out of the car and was running toward the police vehicle.
The police inside the car had begun smashing the glass desperately, struggling to escape and put out the flames on their bodies by rolling around on the ground.
Yet Nie Wenzhi inside the car wasn’t struggling at all.
Sitting in the back seat of the police car, her face distorted as she watched the dancing flames in front of her. She seemed impervious to the pain, allowing herself to be engulfed by the fire within.
Song Zhizhi gritted her teeth, preparing to rush into the fire.
She couldn’t let Nie Wenzhi die just like that, dying in vain.
There were so many questions she still had, so much she wanted to know!
She had anticipated that Nie Wenzhi might meet the same fate as Liu Zizhong and Nie Xiaofei, but she hadn’t expected it to happen so soon, so abruptly, the enemy had taken action.
Just as Song Zhizhi rushed forward, someone grabbed her.
By this point, she really didn’t want to stand by and wait for death.
And now, the only person who could most effectively reveal the mastermind behind the crisis faced by her family was Nie Wenzhi. Only her!
She knew a lot.
Song Zhizhi even thought that Yi Wenhan possibly didn’t know, but Nie Wenzhi knew everything.
She couldn’t let Nie Wenzhi die!
“I know,” Ji Baijian’s voice was firm.
He knew what she was thinking, knew all of her thoughts.
“I’ll go.” Ji Baijian didn’t give Song Zhizhi any time to resist.
He swiftly headed towards the police car.
The intensity of the fire in the police car was immense. As Ji Baijian approached, an explosion suddenly echoed.
“Ji Baijian…” Song Zhizhi exclaimed in fear.
She didn’t mean to have Ji Baijian risk his life for her.
She was just frustrated. She had managed to expose Nie Wenzhi in front of everyone, she finally found a chance to get close to the truth, she didn’t want it all to be in vain. But seeing Ji Baijian helping her to save Nie Wenzhi at the risk of his life…
Her eyes were red with tears.
Forget it.
Forget it.
No need to go anymore.
Don’t go anymore.
Song Zhizhi watched as Ji Baijian, despite the explosion and the raging flames, continued to approach the police vehicle.
If another explosion happened now…
No.
Her vision blurred, “Ji Baijian, come back, come back! I don’t need it anymore, I don’t need it anymore!”
It seemed that Ji Baijian didn’t hear her.
He took off his shirt, wrapped it around his hands, then grabbed the handle of the scorching police car door and tried to pull it away with all his might.
Again and again.
Nie Wenzhi was in the car, with severe burns now, but she didn’t lose consciousness.
She saw Ji Baijian coming to rescue her.
She hadn’t intended to survive. After her secrets were exposed, she knew she wouldn’t make it.
So, when she heard the sound of the motorcycle engine that night, she had prepared herself to die.
But at this moment…
At this moment.
She suddenly felt a sense of reluctance.
She suddenly felt an attachment to the world.
Beautiful memories of being alive flooded her mind.
She hadn’t yet spent quality time with her son or seen him reach his full potential. She hadn’t heard his voice, him saying that once everything settled and all goals had been achieved, he would bring her back to his side….
Nie Wenzhi’s eyes welled up with tears.
Having been disingenuous for so many years, for the first time she sincerely pleaded with Ji Baijian,
“Save me….”
She didn’t want to die.
She didn’t want to die anymore.
She frantically pushed at the car door.
Ji Baijian also used all his strength, and with a sudden tug, the car door was hinged open.
Nie Wenzhi tumbled out of the car.
Ji Baijian grabbed Nie Wenzhi and quickly moved away from the police car.
At that very moment.
The police car “boom” exploded violently.
At the moment Ji Baijian was holding Nie Wenzhi, the force from the explosion threw him backwards.
Nie Wenzhi’s body was ablaze, and as Ji Baijian threw her out, she rolled on the ground a few times, reducing the fury of the fire on her body.
Song Zhizhi ran over, frantically patting out the remaining flames on her.
The next second, she rushed toward Ji Baijian.
Ji Baijian was on the ground, suppressing his pain.
His wound must have reopened.
His bandages were all bloody.
There were burns on his body.
She crouched down, “Ji Baijian, Ji Baijian….”
Ji Baijian staggered to his feet from the ground.
He managed to keep himself straight, grabbed Song Zhizhi’s hand, and quickly moved further away from the burning police car.
The police car behind them exploded even more violently.
In that moment, it was as if a sun had suddenly risen on the quiet street.
Song Zhizhi first helped Ji Baijian into their car.
Then she turned back, going to help Nie Wenzhi who was lying on the ground.
Nie Wenzhi’s burns were exceptionally severe, by now her whole persona was altered, her face appeared grim, the degree of burns on her body was terrifying.
With all her strength, Song Zhizhi lifted Nie Wenzhi off the ground and took her to the back seat of the car.
Nie Wenzhi was barely clinging to life.
Song Zhizhi hurriedly returned to the driver’s seat, driving frantically towards the hospital.
While driving, she called Luo Xiaolang, instructing her to have the doctor waiting at the hospital entrance to receive the patients.
Two people, both with burns.
One of them was very severely burned.
Luo Xiaolang didn’t know what had happened, but she could tell from Song Zhizhi’s tone that it was urgent.
At that moment, Yin Qin’s bandaging had just been finished.
Yin Qin glared at him, if looks could kill, he would have been sliced to pieces. Luo Xiaolang didn’t want to deal with Yin Qin anymore, she turned and walked away.
“Little Wolf, stop right there!” Yin Qin yelled at her.
Luo Xiaolang’s pace quickened.
Yin Qin didn’t know what got into him, he started chasing after her.
Luo Xiaolang ran toward the emergency department and repeated Song Zhizhi’s words to the doctor.
The on-call doctor immediately started preparing.
After hearing that, Yin Qin was alarmed, he asked Luo Xiaolang, “Who is burned? Who is burned? Is it
Ji Baijian?”
Luo Xiaolang didn’t answer him.
Because she didn’t know either, she just did whatever she was asked to do.
At that moment, Yin Qin really wanted to strangle Luo Xiaolang.
He felt that the more he spent time with Luo Xiaolang, the more she could infuriate him to death!
Luo Xiaolang never cared about or considered other people’s thoughts. She followed the doctor to the hospital entrance.
Worried about Ji Baijian, Yin Qin also followed.
After a roughly ten-minute wait, Song Zhizhi’s car quickly pulled up at the hospital’s entrance.
The doctors and nurses hurried over with the stretcher.
Song Zhizhi opened the backseat door and said urgently to the doctor, “Save her, you must save her!”
The doctor quickly nodded, “Rest assured, we’ll do our best.”
The next second, the doctor rushed Nie Wenzhi into the operating room.
Watching Nie Wenzhi’s retreating figure, Song Zhizhi turned and walked towards Ji Baijian.
Ji Baijian was still sitting in the passenger seat.
Song Zhizhi opened the car door.
Ji Baijian said, “You go with Nie Wenzhi. I’ll let Yin Qin accompany me to take care of my wound.”
Yin Qin had already made his appearance.
He glanced at Nie Wenzhi and quickly assessed Ji Baijian’s condition.
He clearly remembered Luo Xiaolang saying that two people had been burnt, one was Nie Wenzhi, and since Song Zhizhi was unharmed, the other person had to be Ji Baijian.
Gosh, was dating really that life-threatening?!
He couldn’t help but ask, “What happened?”
“I’ll tell you later,” Ji Baijian casually brushed off Yin Qin, then said to Song Zhizhi, “Don’t worry.
There’s always a solution.”
“Okay,” Song Zhizhi nodded.
She also told herself, don’t panic, don’t panic.
In whatever we do, haste makes waste.
“Go on,” Ji Baijian seemed to know what she wanted at any time, so he didn’t want to hold her back.
Song Zhizhi bit her lip.
Actually, she was still very worried about his physical condition.
Just a moment ago, he had touched the scorching hot car door barehanded. Just a moment before, he had been thrown quite a distance by the explosion’s shockwave from the police car. She really wanted to stay with him.
“I won’t die,” Ji Baijian said, “I promised to protect you…”
Song Zhizhi leaned over.
Yin Qin’s eyes flickered slightly.
Should it be this passionately dramatic?
Yin Qin felt embarrassed.
If he had known, he would have waited until they were done being all lovey-dovey before coming over.
It was making him uncomfortable.
No matter what, he, Yin Qin, was still a 24 or 25-year-old virgin!
These two had no sense of propriety whatsoever.
After a while.
Song Zhizhi left.
Leaving Ji Baijian, her eyes full of emotions, she finally strode into the hospital.
Luo Xiaolang hurried to follow Song Zhizhi’s steps.
Yin Qin watched Song Zhizhi, then turned his gaze back to Ji Baijian, who clearly looked very weak.
He said, “Your wife… is pretty ruthless. Left as soon as she said she would.”
Ji Baijian let out a heavy sigh.
With Song Zhizhi gone, he could drop his pretense.
He said, “Take me home.”
“Are you not going to the hospital to check your wounds? I think you might not make it through the night,” Yin Qin said.
“Call Yan Zhen,” Ji Baijian said.
Yin Qin felt helpless.
He turned to head towards the driver’s seat to drive Ji Baijian home.
After all the tumultuous events of the night, dawn had finally broken.
While driving, Yin Qin felt like something was wrong.
Damn!
He really wanted to curse out loud.
What the hell, he was a patient too!
He had a huge gash on his head!
He needed someone to take care of him, yet Ji Baijian had the nerve to make him drive.
This utterly, extremely heartless man!
In the hospital.
Song Zhizhi sat outside the operating room.
Her mind was filled with the image of Ji Baijian as he left.
Despite being seriously injured, he still put up a brave front in front of her.
Her throat tightened slightly.
She had some regrets now, some regrets indeed.
She shouldn’t have stayed with Nie Wenzhi. She should have stayed with Ji Baijian instead.
But at this moment, seeing the light in the operating room, she couldn’t make herself leave.
At this crucial point, she couldn’t afford any mishaps. This was the closest she had come to the truth since it all started. She didn’t want to miss the opportunity.
Inside, she was actually quite tormented.
She always felt that she owed Ji Baijian a lot, a lot, so much that she didn’t know how to repay him!
Outside the operating room, there was silence.
It was probably already daybreak.
Nie Wenzhi was still in the operating room.
Suddenly, Song Zhizhi’s phone rang.
Song Zhizhi looked at the call and answered, “Zhidao.”
“Sis, where are you? I just saw the news. A police car unexpectedly exploded this morning, and three officers have been sent to the hospital with varying degrees of burn injuries. Are you okay? Was it the police car that was transporting Nie Wenzhi?”
“Yes, I’m at the hospital now. I’m fine, but Nie Wenzhi’s condition is very serious. I’m waiting outside the operating room for her rescue results,” Song Zhizhi said.
“Why are they still trying to save her? Didn’t she get what she deserved?” Song Zhidao said harshly.
Song Zhizhi said, “She did get what she deserved, but she hasn’t said anything yet, we still don’t know anything, we don’t know why Nie Wenzhi did what she did, why she hid for so many years, she can’t just die like this.”
Song Zhidao understood instantly.
He said, “Which operating room are you in? I’ll come down and keep you company.”
“Where’s dad?”
“He’s asleep now, he’s okay.”
“Okay,” Song Zhizhi agreed after telling him her location.
Just as she hung up the phone.
The light in the operating room suddenly went out.
Song Zhizhi tensely watched the operating room door open.
The doctor came out first, looking exhausted.
Song Zhizhi hesitated, trying to control her heartbeat, then stepped forward and asked, “Doctor, how is the patient inside?”
The doctor shook his head.
Song Zhizhi’s heart skipped a beat.
“The patient has no immediate life-threatening injuries, but due to the extensive and severe burns, she may be bedridden in the future,” the doctor said..
