Night.
A café along Lou Gu Street.
A crowd formed outside the café, and everyone was talking about that Jetta and Dong Xuebing.
“Did you see that?”
“I saw it! That young man is crazy!”
“That’s right, but he managed to save that woman.”
“Who is he? Is he trying to die? If he is slower than 1 second, he will be killed.”
“He is courageous, and not many people are like him now.” Dong Xuebing brushed the dust and glass shards off his clothes and stood up. He looks at Qian Lihua and Liu Chenlong, who are still shocked. It was close. He rushed here and saw nothing had happened. He thought it was not time, but when he got out of his car, he saw that silver Jetta coming out of nowhere and speeding towards the café. He didn’t even have time to think and rush forward. Luckily, he made it in time and saved his ‘mother-in-law’s’ life.
Dong Xuebing gets mad when he thinks about what would happen if he was late by a second. His eyes turned cold, and he walked over to the car.
A drunk middle-aged man was still in the driver’s seat. The air bags did not deploy because of the crash, and he was smiling inside, looking at the commotion he caused.
Dong Xuebing’s blood was boiling from his anger. He tried to open the door, but the door was crashed from the impact and could not be opened. He reached through the smashed windows and dragged the driver out from the car onto the floor.
The driver shouted angrily. “What are you doing?! Don’t touch me!”
Dong Xuebing frowned when he smelled the alcohol from that man.
“What am I doing?! What do you think I am doing?!” Dong Xuebing lifted his leg and kicked that man’s chest. “F**k you!”
That man shouted in pain and fell on his back.
A kick was not enough for Dong Xuebing to vent his anger. He bent over and punched that man. “You still dare to smile after what you did?! Ah!? Try smiling now!”
Two punches….
Three punches….
Four punches….
The driver was beaten to a pulp.
“Smile! I want you to smile now!” Dong Xuebing gave that man another kick.
The driver was curled up on the ground, groaning in pain.
Dong Xuebing had vented his anger, and he pointed at the driver. “I will kill you if I see you drink driving again!” The onlookers nodded in agreement.
“Good job!”
“Give this bastard a few more kicks!”
“Drink driving is getting more serious now. These people have no concern about other people’s lives.”
A young man, who was drinking coffee in the café, was almost cut by the glass shards earlier. He saw Dong Xuebing stop hitting that driver, and he rushed over to beat him.
Liu Chenlong saw his ex-wife was not injured other than a few minor cuts, and he remembers the person who saved her. He quickly helped Qian Lihua up and looked toward the crowd. He wanted to thank that young man but was shocked when he saw his face. “Eh? Xiao Dong?!”
Dong Xuebing laughed. “Uncle Liu, you finally notice me.”
Liu Chenlong was surprised. “Why is it you? Why are you here?”
Dong Xuebing replied. “I was passing by and saw that man driving recklessly. So, I come over.”
“Thank you… thank you so much….” Liu Chenlong grabbed Dong Xuebing’s hand and thanked him.
Qian Lihua had recovered from her shock. “You two know each other?”
“This is not a good place to talk. Aunt Qian is injured, and we should go to the hospital first.” Dong Xuebing supported Qian Lihua by holding her arm. “Don’t wait for the ambulance. I will drive you all there.”
An hour later.
Hospital’s Accident and Emergency Lobby.
Qian Lihua’s cuts were bandaged. She is fine other than a few superficial cuts.
Liu Chenlong and Dong Xuebing helped her to a bed to rest.
Liu Chenlong introduced Dong Xuebing to his ex-wife. “This is Dong Xuebing, Nan Shan District’s Guang Ming Subdistrict Office Director. We met during my business trip in Tokyo a while ago.”
Qian Lihua thanked Dong Xuebing. “Xiao Dong, I would not have avoided that car without you. Thank you.”
Dong Xuebing laughed. “Don’t mention it.” Qian Lihua asked worryingly. “Are you injured? You should go for a checkup.”
“I am fine as my skin is thick. Hahaha….”
Liu Chenlong squeezed Dong Xuebing’s shoulder and did not say anything. He did not expect Dong Xuebing to appear and risked his life to save Qian Lihua. Their relationship is not so close for him to risk his life for him. They only had a few meals and drinks since they met in Tokyo. This incident let him know more about Dong Xuebing’s character. This is someone trustworthy and dependable.
Suddenly, Dong Xuebing’s phone rang. He looked at the number, and it was Yu Meixia.
“Sorry, I got to answer this call.” Dong Xuebing said and walked out to the corridor to answer the call. “Hello, Sister Yu, where are you now?”
Yu Meixia anxiously replied. “I had reached the City. My…. Where is my mother? What happened to her?” Dong Xuebing replied. “Don’t worry. Aunt Qian is fine now. She only suffered some minor injuries.”
“Where…. Where are you all now? I will go over.”
“How did you and Qianqian come here?”
“Team Leader Feng got someone to drive us here.”
“Alright. I will give you a hospital address. We are at the Accident and Emergency department lobby. Just come over with Qianqian.”
“We will be there soon. Xuebing…. Is my mother… really fine?”
“Why should I lie to you? Haha…. How can anything happen to your mother with me around?”
Dong Xuebing returned to Qian Lihua and Liu Chenlong.
“My injuries are bandaged, and the Police had recorded our statements. Let’s go back now.” Qian Lihua got up from the bed with Liu Chenlong’s help and was about to stand up.
Dong Xuebing saw it and quickly said. “Wait…. Aunt Qian and Uncle Liu. Can you all wait for two more people?”
Liu Chenlong and Qian Lihua stopped and asked. “Who are we waiting for?” Dong Xuebing smiled. “It’s two very important people which you two will want to meet. Hahaha…. I will keep you two in suspense now. You will know when they reach. They are my friends, and I called them after the accident. They should be here within ten minutes at most.” Liu Chenlong asked. “Are you referring to that friend you told me over the phone?”
“That’s right.”
Dong Xuebing had just saved Qian Lihua’s life, and she nodded without hesitation. “Alright. Let’s wait for a while.”
