The long board meeting had ended, and only a quarter of the morning had passed.
Jiang Yansheng rushed into the office, picked up his coat, and rushed out in a hurry.
"Yansheng …" An Di, who was leaning against the pantry door, looked up and greeted her with a smile.
Jiang Yansheng's quick movements caused a cold wind to blow into An Di's face.
"… Good morning."
By the time An Di uttered the last three words, Jiang Yansheng's elevator door had already closed.
"What's going on? Could it be that the plan we came up with yesterday is hopelessly bad? "Andy scratched the back of her head and looked at the ceiling with a puzzled expression.
"That can't be." His colleague behind him poked his head out as well, dark circles around his eyes. "Don't tell me it's going to be revised. I haven't played games, watched dramas, or shopped for a week. My whole life is filled with work. If this goes on, I'm going to die."
"…"
An Di turned around and patted his colleague on the shoulder. "If that's the case, let's not waste time in the office during the day. Inspiration comes when you stay up late. That's a lie."
…
Jiang Yansheng had no idea where Amei was on the phone with her, so when she started the car, her mind went blank.
The safety charm hanging on the side of the rearview mirror wobbled, and when she reversed the car, it fell off with a clatter.
"No way …"
Jiang Yansheng's face was pale with fright. She hastily fastened the red square back on. "That's impossible. Amei can't be in trouble!"
It must have been an accident that the call was hung up.
Maybe it was just Amei's phone that was stolen by a thief …
Her hands were shaking as she gripped the steering wheel.
As soon as they left the company's parking lot, an ambulance whizzed past them with an unstoppable momentum. The cars in front of them instinctively gave way, and the ambulance opened up a wide path.
Jiang Yansheng panicked when he heard the loud sound of the siren.
Her car had only driven two traffic lights when she saw that the intersection was surrounded by people. There were also traffic police holding flashing tricolor lights blocking the road. A car's headlights were smashed and it was directly parked in the middle of the road without a care for its image.
However, the front of the car was driven directly into the crosswalk, which was enough to show how strong the force of the accident was.
Jiang Yansheng closed the door and got out of the car with cold hands and feet. She tried her best to squeeze through the crowd.
"Excuse me, excuse me, please excuse me."
The voice that came out of his throat sounded so unfamiliar for the first time. In front of him were layers upon layers of onlookers. Everyone's face was filled with enthusiasm and disdain as if it had nothing to do with them.
Who was it? Who was the one who had a car accident?
Was that … Amei?
"I'm sorry, miss, you can't go in. This place has been temporarily sealed off by the police." A man in a police uniform frowned and grabbed Jiang Yansheng's arm coldly.
Jiang Yansheng jerked her head up and grabbed the man's arm tightly like a drowning person. "Do you know who was involved in the car accident? Please tell me! "
The man hesitated for a moment. When he saw Jiang Yansheng's dazed expression, he paused and said, "Alright."
He did not push Jiang Yansheng's hand away. Instead, he lowered his head and flipped through his notebook.
"Ji Amei."
The man's lips opened and closed. When he said those three words, Jiang Yansheng felt as if she had risen from the ground. She looked away from the man's shoulder and saw that in front of the car's nearly smashed headlights, there was a large pool of blood. It was a ghastly sight.
There were bright yellow glass shards mixed in with the blood.
"Are you a relative or a friend of the victim? We found her ID card on her body just now, so we checked her name … "the man asked tentatively.
Jiang Yansheng's lips were pale. She asked, "Has she been sent away?"
"She was sent to the city hospital just now. You should be able to make it if you rush over now …"
She no longer had the energy to rush in. The man's tall figure seemed to block all the light. The noise from the crowd drowned out the noise.
BANG!
Suddenly, there was a crisp sound.
Someone had punched the car hard.
"Are you f * cking crazy?" The owner of the car stood beside it, swaying unsteadily. His face was red and his eyes were glazed over. He looked at the sky one moment, then at the ground the next. It was obvious that he had drunk too much and was driving under the influence.
The car accident just now was definitely related to drunk driving.
The owner of the car was covering his swollen face and lying on the hood of the car. When he raised his hand, it was cut by his own broken headlights. He immediately cursed loudly.
Opposite him stood a tall man with his back facing Jiang Yansheng.
It was winter in Jiang City. The man was only wearing an expensive knitted sweater. His hands hanging by his side were tightly clenched into fists.
"What are you doing?" The traffic policeman who was talking to Jiang Yansheng immediately went over to deal with him.
"When did you come in?"
"Are you driving?" The man didn't care about the person who came over to stop the fight. His tone was so cold that it could make ice shards fall. His eyes were like a snake hiding in a dark and damp place, holding the driver tightly.
Although the driver was drunk, he was still sensitive enough to sense the danger that was about to hit him head-on.
"What are you doing? I'm warning you, there's … "
He quickly took a step back, but the man grabbed him by the neck. His face, which was already red, turned purple, and he couldn't breathe for a while.
"Didn't you hear what I said?" The man's voice was as calm as ice, making people tremble in fear.
Jiang Yansheng looked up.
The man's back was facing her, but this voice sounded familiar.
She didn't know where she had heard it before, but it made her shudder involuntarily from the depths of her soul.
The traffic policeman who was trying to stop the fight blocked her view. Jiang Yansheng didn't have time to look, and she quickly squeezed through the crowd.
…
At the entrance of the City Hospital, Jiang Yansheng stepped on the brakes. She hurriedly went into the lobby and stopped a nurse.
"Hello, I want to ask if there was a person who was sent here because of a car accident … His name is Ji Amei."
The nurse tried hard to recall. "I don't know his name, but there was one who was sent here because of a car accident."
"The emergency room at the end of this road is …"
Before the nurse could finish, Jiang Yansheng interrupted her. She thanked the nurse profusely and rushed to the emergency room.
"I want to ask …" Jiang Yansheng had just reached the entrance of the emergency room when the red light above went off. The closed door was pushed open, and the doctor walked out with a frown. He was taking off his white gloves.
"Are you the patient's family member?" When the doctor saw Jiang Yansheng, he stopped in his tracks. "The patient's name is Ji Amei, right?"
Jiang Yansheng's lips were pale. She nodded her heavy head.
"The patient's condition is not very good now. The wounds on her body have been stitched up, but there are signs of fractures in her arm. At the same time, she has a mild concussion. She needs to be hospitalized for observation."
The doctor spoke very quickly. Jiang Yansheng grasped the bag in front of her chest in a daze. "Doctor, is her life in danger?"
"I said, she needs to be hospitalized for observation." The doctor's tone was not very good. "It might take a week for the patient to wake up."
Seven days. It happened to be the time she promised Jiang Chu that she would be able to find out the truth.
"Go ahead and pay the bill first."
A thin sheet of paper was shoved into Jiang Yansheng's hands. The doctor left Amei's room number and turned to leave.
After Jiang Yansheng paid the bill, the elevator was full of people. She anxiously climbed five floors and stood at the door of the ward, gasping for air.
"What happened? Why did she get into an accident?"
"Why did Amei go out alone in the middle of the day?"
"Yeah, she didn't tell us why she left. But she didn't look so good then. Who knew she would get into a drunk driver …"
When Jiang Yansheng pushed the door open, there were already a few men with colorful hair surrounding Amei's bed. One of them even had piercings. They all looked very rebellious.
Jiang Yansheng could tell at a glance that they were all Amei's band members from the bar.
She didn't know why.
Hearing their complaints, Jiang Yansheng subconsciously felt nervous and afraid.
Amei was on the phone with her when she got into the accident. If she hadn't been on the phone with her, would Amei have seen the car lose control by the roadside? If she hadn't gotten Amei to do the endorsement, would Amei have rushed to the Jiang Clan in such a hurry?
Her gaze fell on Amei, who was lying quietly on the bed. A long tube had come out of nowhere and was connected to the top of the stand. The water in the small bottle was dripping down, drop by drop.
It was like drops of water were dripping onto her heart.
"Ah, hello."
Sensing Jiang Yansheng's approach, the people sitting at the head of the bed turned around. One of them, who looked slightly better, extended his hand to Jiang Yansheng. "We heard that someone had already paid for the hospital fees when we came over. Was that you?"
Jiang Yansheng didn't speak. She just nodded.
"If I may ask, you are …?" The man asked cautiously. Standing beside him, several other people were looking at Jiang Yansheng with a very fierce look in their eyes.
Jiang Yansheng's cold fingers were still warm. She avoided the man's gaze and frowned. "I … I'm Amei's friend."
"You must be Amei's very good friend if you could rush over in such a hurry." The man smiled warmly. He tilted his head and looked at Jiang Yansheng. "But Amei hasn't mentioned you to us much."
"Do you know why Amei suddenly left?"
