Chapter 4

Just a few minutes after Qian Jing fled, police cars and ambulances arrived one after another. The police began to investigate the accident scene, while the emergency personnel urgently attended to the injured.

The first to receive treatment were naturally the most seriously injured, Zhao Wanqing and her husband, followed by their daughter. Although the little girl only had minor abrasions, she was still well taken care of due to her young age.

As for Jiang Ping, who appeared to be lively and energetic, the emergency personnel had not intended to let him board the ambulance. However, Jiang Ping told them that his shoulder was in severe pain, and he also felt dizzy and nauseous, feeling very uncomfortable. Since the injured person had spoken, the emergency personnel naturally did not dare to be careless and also let Jiang Ping board the ambulance.

In fact, Jiang Ping was well aware that his injuries were not serious, and it would not matter if he did not go to the hospital. However, Jiang Ping had not yet met the Zhao family, and he did not think that just going back and recording the good deed in his diary would soon make him known to the entire nation. If Jiang Ping wanted to meet Zhao Guoquan, he had to go to the hospital and maintain contact with Zhao Wanqing; otherwise, all his previous efforts would be in vain.

After Jiang Ping and others were taken to the hospital, they began to undergo various examinations. The results came out quickly: Jiang Ping and Zhao Wanqing's daughter were fine; Zhao Wanqing had extensive abrasions and needed debridement surgery; the most serious was Zhao Wanqing's husband, who had multiple fractures and severe organ injuries. The hospital had already issued a critical condition notice, and it seemed he would not be able to make it.

Zhao Wanqing was soon sent for debridement surgery, and her daughter, of course, had to wait outside. Jiang Ping took the initiative to take care of the little girl. With both parents injured, Zhao Wanqing's daughter subconsciously relied on Jiang Ping, who had saved her. The little girl was very sensible and just obediently leaned against Jiang Ping, neither crying nor making a fuss.

Jiang Ping already knew the little girl's name and gently comforted her, "Jiajia, don't worry. Your mom will be fine soon, and you'll see her again."

Li Jiajia nodded and then asked Jiang Ping, "Big brother, how is Dad?"

Hearing this question, Jiang Ping could not help but fall silent. The doctors had said that Li Jiajia's father would have a hard time making it, and Jiang Ping found it difficult to tell the little girl this bad news. After a moment of hesitation, he softly said, "Jiajia's dad is seriously injured, so he will have to stay in the hospital for a long time. But don't worry, he will be fine."

Li Jiajia nodded, seemingly understanding, and then asked Jiang Ping in a small voice, "Will Dad be better by the time Jiajia starts school?"

"Probably," Jiang Ping did not want to discuss this topic further with the little girl. After a vague response, he said to her, "Jiajia, be good and don't run around. Big brother needs to make a few calls."

The little girl immediately nodded and obediently sat beside Jiang Ping without a word.

After reporting the accident at the scene, Jiang Ping had intentionally kept Zhao Wanqing's phone with him. He looked up the contact list and quickly found an entry: Father's Office.

Jiang Ping immediately dialed this number and soon heard a steady voice, "Hello."

In his previous life, Jiang Ping had never heard Zhao Guoquan's voice and did not know who was on the other end of the line, so he cautiously asked, "May I ask... are you Zhao Wanqing's father?"

The person on the other end seemed a bit surprised, paused for a moment, and then said in a deep voice, "I am Zhao Guoquan. May I ask who you are?"

"My name is Jiang Ping," Jiang Ping casually mentioned his name and then said to Zhao Guoquan, "It's great to find you. I have something to tell you. Your daughter's family was involved in a car accident while crossing the road."

Zhao Guoquan was suddenly startled and raised his voice, "What is their condition now?"

"Your daughter and granddaughter are fine, but the situation of the child's father is not optimistic," Jiang Ping said softly. "We are at the Second People's Hospital Emergency Department. If you have time..."

"I'll come right away," Zhao Guoquan made the decision before Jiang Ping could finish speaking. Before hanging up, he did not forget to thank him, "Mr. Jiang, thank you for letting me know."

"You're welcome," Jiang Ping humbly replied and hung up, feeling quite satisfied with the call.

Even in the situation where his daughter's family was in a car accident, Zhao Guoquan did not forget to thank Jiang Ping, indicating that he was a person of good character. A person with good character is more likely to understand the principle of gratitude, and the better Zhao Guoquan was, the more advantageous it was for Jiang Ping.

After notifying Zhao Guoquan, Jiang Ping called his father's workplace. The call was answered by his father's colleague, Old Wang. Jiang Ping asked him to inform his father that he had been in a car accident and was at the Second People's Hospital for a check-up, asking him to come to the hospital immediately. Old Wang, being a warm-hearted person, immediately went to notify Jiang Ping's father, Jiang Jianguo.

Qian Jing, who had driven the car that hit them, had fled. Jiang Ping was worried that he would, like in his previous life, find his father to take the blame. Although the accident this time was different from the previous one, with Zhao Wanqing as a witness to who was driving, Jiang Ping was still concerned that his father might be misled and go to the police to turn himself in. If that happened, his father would be charged with obstructing justice and would not escape a prison sentence.

However, Jiang Ping believed that as long as his father knew he had been in a car accident, he would rush to the hospital in a hurry. As long as he was by his father's side, no one could mislead him into taking the blame for Qian Jing.

After making these two calls, Jiang Ping felt much more relaxed. He took Li Jiajia and waited outside the operating room for Zhao Wanqing to come out after her surgery.

Jiang Ping did not wait long before Zhao Guoquan hurriedly arrived. He was in his early fifties, not tall but sturdy, unlike many men of his age who had started to gain weight and had unsightly beer bellies. Perhaps due to recent setbacks in his career, Zhao Guoquan's hair was already gray. However, even in the face of adversity, his back was still straight, showing no signs of discouragement.

Zhao Guoquan immediately saw Li Jiajia and quickly walked over to his granddaughter, asking with concern, "Jiajia, are you okay?"

"Grandpa!" The little girl threw herself into Zhao Guoquan's arms and said affectionately, "Jiajia is fine, but Mom and Dad are hurt!"

Zhao Guoquan nodded heavily, but still gently comforted his granddaughter, "Jiajia, don't worry. Mom and Dad will be fine."

Jiang Ping also stood up and nodded at Zhao Guoquan, then handed him Zhao Wanqing's phone and said, "You must be Zhao Wanqing's father. Now I can rest assured to leave Jiajia with you. The little girl has been quite frightened, so it's best not to leave her alone."

Hearing Jiang Ping's voice, Zhao Guoquan immediately knew that the one who had called him was this young man. When he had spoken to Jiang Ping on the phone, he had felt that the other party's tone was very mature and had assumed he was a middle-aged man. Seeing Jiang Ping, he realized that he was actually so young, which surprised him a bit.

However, Zhao Guoquan did not change his attitude because of Jiang Ping's young age. He sincerely thanked him, "Thank you, Mr. Jiang. Thanks to you for calling me, otherwise I wouldn't have known what happened."

Jiang Ping put on a young person's demeanor and smiled shyly at Zhao Guoquan, "Please don't call me Mr. Jiang. I'm still a student. You can call me Xiao Jiang or Jiang classmate."

"Ha ha, then I'll call you Xiao Jiang," Zhao Guoquan said straightforwardly, "Thank you, Xiao Jiang!"

Jiang Ping had a reason for letting Zhao Guoquan call him "Xiao Jiang." Such a title could quickly reduce the distance between them and bring them closer. While it might not seem like much for Zhao Guoquan to call Jiang Ping "Xiao Jiang" now, it would be a different matter if he still called him that a few years later.

"Grandpa, Grandpa, the big brother is so nice!" Li Jiajia, seeing Zhao Guoquan, became more lively and shook his hand, "Thanks to the big brother for holding Jiajia, or Jiajia would have been hit by the car like Dad!"

Hearing his granddaughter's words, Zhao Guoquan was also startled. He had originally thought that Jiang Ping was just a passerby who had helped to take the injured family to the hospital and called him to inform him. Now, Zhao Guoquan knew that Jiang Ping had also saved his granddaughter from under the wheels of the car, which was a significant favor.

Zhao Guoquan looked deeply at Jiang Ping and thanked him again, "Xiao Jiang, thank you for saving Jiajia!"

Jiang Ping, of course, would not take credit in front of Zhao Guoquan. He just smiled faintly and said, "I just happened to be passing by. I couldn't just stand by and do nothing."

The more humble Jiang Ping was, the better Zhao Guoquan's impression of him. He wanted to say more to this young man, but the operating room door opened, and Zhao Wanqing, who had just finished her debridement surgery, was wheeled out.

At this moment, Zhao Guoquan could not say more. He smiled apologetically at Jiang Ping and hurried to check on his daughter. Zhao Wanqing's spirits were still good, and after a brief conversation with her father, she was quickly taken to a ward.

Zhao Guoquan and Li Jiajia stayed with Zhao Wanqing in the ward, and Jiang Ping, of course, did not want to intrude, so he waited outside for his father to arrive. To Jiang Ping's surprise, Zhao Guoquan did not stay in the ward for long before coming out.

This time, Zhao Guoquan's attitude was even more serious, and his expression was even more grateful. He tightly held Jiang Ping's hands and said, "Thank you so much, Xiao Jiang. Wanqing just told me everything. If it weren't for you risking your life to save them, perhaps..."

At this point, Zhao Guoquan felt a bit scared and did not continue. He just tightly held Jiang Ping's hands and gently shook them to express his gratitude.

Jiang Ping knew that Zhao Wanqing must have detailed the events to her father, which was why Zhao Guoquan was treating him with such an attitude. Looking at the moved Zhao Guoquan, Jiang Ping sighed with relief, knowing that his first plan after being reborn was basically successful.
