When the cla.s.s leader wanted to call Auntie Ren, Auntie Ren was already in a call, so the cla.s.s leader had to change the order and contact my dad first.
At this time, my dad was already informed. He was informed from Eunuch Cao → Director Cao, so he was already sitting in Director Cao’s van which was rushing towards Cui Song Mountain.
“Boss Ye, it will definitely be okay.” Director Cao cautiously gripped the steering wheel, “Xiao Ye Zi is blessed, I’m still waiting to train him to become a male AV star later.”
My dad, who was normally a smooth talker in front of director Cao, maintained silent and did not say a word.
Then they saw it. On the dirt road leading to Cui Song Mountain, a familiar b.u.mblebee sports car and a Jeep had crashed into each other. The front cover of the car had completely shattered and the engine was exposed.
The gangsters had all already ran away and no one cared about Auntie Ren, who was unconscious in the driver’s seat.
The fact I was missing and possibly dead was a scary thought, but it was not yet a reality. However, Auntie Ren lying over the airbag while bleeding from her forehead was a reality.
Eunuch Cao and my dad tell each other everything, so he knew Auntie Ren and my dad had a one-night stand and also knew that Auntie Ren was pregnant with my dad’s child.
“Not good, let’s go take a look.”
The two of them quickly stopped to check on Auntie Ren’s injuries, fortunately: Auntie Ren at least remembered to wear her seat belt.
The blood flowing down her cheek was caused by a misplaced cell phone that bounced up and smashed into her forehead when the airbag was inflated.
When the two of them dragged Auntie Ren out of the deformed driver’s seat, they discovered there was also blood on Auntie Ren’s seat and blood was still seeping out of Auntie Ren’s pants.
“She injured her stomach, the child is in danger.”
Director Cao was actually quite reliable at critical moments. He instructed my dad to first put Auntie Ren flat on the back seat of the van, then told my dad to hold her upper body to hold her steady.
They say blessings never come in pairs. On one hand, he had news of his missing son, on the other hand the fetus in Auntie Ren’s belly was in crisis. My dad was so anxious that he was about to jump into a river.
“I don’t think there’s a large hospital in Yi Ning District, right? If not, we can go different ways…” My dad discussed with Director Cao.
“Well, there’s no better way.” Director Cao sighed, “Since you can’t drive, only I can send Ms. Ren to the hospital. You can hail a cab by the road and go to Cui Song Mountain, did you bring enough money.”
Hearing Director Cao say he was going to take her back to the city hospital, Auntie Ren instantly woke up in my dad’s arms.
“How dare you, I’m going to find my daughter.” Auntie Ren, whose forehead was bleeding and hair was in disarray, glared at them, “Drive towards Cui Song Mountain.”
“But you’ve lost so much blood…” Director Cao’s eyes fell to Auntie Ren’s pants and her slightly bulging belly.
“I don’t care, I’m going to find my daughter.” Auntie Ren wanted to grab Director Cao’s neck, but he was too far, so she had to grab onto my dad’s neck.
“Drive, if you don’t drive, I’ll kick you off and drive myself.”
Dad tried to persuade Auntie Ren: “If you don’t go to the hospital in your current situation, then the child in your belly…”
Auntie Ren pushed my dad back furiously and he almost smashed the rear window.
“The vile sp.a.w.n you left behind should have died a long time ago.”
“It’s all because of you and your son.” Auntie Ren was so emotional that she couldn’t control herself, “If anything happens to Xiao Qin, I won’t let you guys off the hook.”
Being forced by Auntie Ren, Director Cao had to continue to drive to Cui Song Mountain. He and my dad were two big men, but they still could not beat an injured pregnant women. They really bring shame to males everywhere.
When we reached the back door of the special education school, my dad and Director Cao advised Auntie Ren to stay in the car and wait for news, but of course Auntie Ren refused. As they were fighting, they were spotted by Dr. Yu, who was smoking outside.
“Hey, woman, do you want to die?” Dr. Yu threw the cigarette to the ground and stomped it out with his shoe, “Do you not know your uterus is bleeding?”
Auntie Ren was still frantic and refused to listen. Dr. Yu shook his head and took a sedative he carried from around in his coat and shot it into Auntie Ren’s arm before she finally stopped resisting.
Surprisingly, the special education school has a good affiliated hospital, despite the lack of funds.
It was Ai Mi’s father, John, who left it behind when he provided aid. After all, it was a school for children with disabilities, so there’s no way you can’t have a hospital.
Although the company was seized by Ai ShuQiao and stopped providing financial a.s.sistance to the school, there were three doctors who stayed behind because they didn’t want to leave the students behind.
When Dr. Yu came to the special education school to persuade the disabled children to undergo his surgery, he met with these doctors and discussed medical topics together. He taught them many things that they could not even learn in large hospitals.
Unlike other established physicians, Dr. Yu never hid anything, and one of his sayings was, “The best way to gain a more thorough understanding of a technique is to teach it to others.”
One of the three doctors he mentored in his spare time happened to be an OB/GYN who was also versed in pediatrics.
So Auntie Ren, who was sedated, was directed by Dr. Yu, to the hospital attached to the special education school, where she was seen by the OB/GYN.
After making arrangements for Auntie Ren, my dad got in touch with the cla.s.s leader.
It was already dark and night only made the search and rescue work more difficult. The cla.s.s leader seemed to have cried once behind everyone’s back, but she had to pretend to be calm and strong in front of her cla.s.smates.
In fact, the police also brought in search and rescue dogs that are more well-trained than Obama. If Xiao Qin had the patience to wait a bit, I may have been rescued earlier under the cla.s.s leader’s proper arrangements.
But I can’t blame Xiao Qin. It is impossible for her to sit and wait after she knew my life was in danger.
So, without the T-shirt I left behind as a source of smell, the police search dogs coincidentally could not perform their jobs well.
Winnie clapped her head and remembered I carried her over my shoulders to prevent her from starting a fight, so she got the idea to let the search and rescue dogs to smell her. In the end, the search and rescue dogs only found the small waterfall where Winnie pushed me down. Winnie was very embarra.s.sed that so many people, including the cla.s.s leader, were taking a look around.
The gangsters who did know which mountain I had gone into had the malicious idea of “you’ve got $500,000 but you can’t enjoy it” and deliberately failed to provide the correct information. Then they all ran away because the police arrived.
“You’re all useless.” Ai Mi saw the search operation has not progressed and pointed to a group of people who were working hard and cursed: “China’s police and firefighters are all useless. Peng TouSi, you’re also useless. You and other bodyguards are all useless. I should have formed my own private army.”
“You can’t say that.” The cla.s.s leader rebuked Ai Mi in front of everyone to not let it affect everyone’s enthusiasm to search, “Everyone has already worked very hard. Half an hour ago, there was a firefighter who had his face scratched by a monkey, but he still insists on continuing to search…”
“Hmph.” Ai Mi, who was weak to the cla.s.s leader’s hunter’s aura, took a step back but still asked unreasonably, “How come the monkeys didn’t eat him?”
Peng TouSi dropped fluorescent life-packs from the helicopter, but because the search and rescue range was too large, it did not have the desired effect (but people who gets lost in the mountains in the future will be blessed).
After sending and receiving a bunch of messages, dealing with the endless conflicts and problems in the search and rescue process, the cla.s.s leader was exhausted when my dad knocked on the door and walked in.
The cla.s.s leader wiped her eyes and recognized that the other party was my dad, whom she had met during a home visit and overheard that Xiao Qin’s mother and my dad were going to have a child together.
After briefly describing what happened to my dad, she asked him if he knew where Auntie Ren was, because her cell phone had been broken by the airbag after the accident and she couldn’t contact her.
My dad said with a downcast look that Auntie Ren had been injured in the accident and was being treated by an OB/GYN.
The cla.s.s leader immediately understood that Auntie Ren may not be seriously injured as soon as she heard the words OB/GYN, but the child in her belly may be in danger.
“Is, is there is a risk of miscarriage?” The cla.s.s leader blurted out.
My dad thought he had let it slip, not realizing that the cla.s.s leader was one of the few people who knew about it.
“My… my friend and several doctors are taking care of her, so I came over first. As a father, how can I not partic.i.p.ate in the search and rescue of my own son…”
“What would you do?” The cla.s.s leader was suddenly agitated, “Go accompany Auntie Ren, you should accompany her in times like this.”
“Eh.” My dad didn’t really know how to respond, “She has someone to take care of her, I should go find Ye Lin and Xiao Qin first…”
He wanted to continue speaking but found that the cla.s.s leader was looking at him angrily while in tears.
“The ones who should be out are all out. It’s almost dark, so you will only cause more trouble if you join the search and rescue.” The cla.s.s leader was choked up with emotions and reasoned with my dad, “Auntie Ren is now facing another miscarriage… if you don’t go to take care of her, do you want to lose two children at once?”
My dad, who was being lectured by the cla.s.s leader in tears, was shocked when it was pointed out that the child in Auntie Ren’s belly was his own.
In order to not let the students outside her room hear her crying, the cla.s.s leader buried her head in her hands and tried to keep her voice as quiet as possible.
“Uncle Ye, go to Auntie Ren. In case, in case both Ye Lin and Xiao Qin can’t be found, then at least you two…”
The cla.s.s leader did not give up on my rescue, but at the same time was also considering how to minimize the harm to my family if I was dead.
Xiao Qin, on the other hand, never considered how she would live on with her family if I died.
At least, she never considered how she would keep on living.
