The sudden news about Granny Bai from the police officer made my heart leap out of my chest.
Without hesitation, I grabbed Si Jiangchen's hand and rushed out of the crowd.
"Mr. Si... Please have mercy on me!"
Bai Zhiyuan was so frightened that his legs trembled. He couldn't get up from the ground but still pleaded, "I'll never dare to do such things again!!"
Being dragged by me, Si Jiangchen didn't look back. He just took out his phone, pressed a button casually, and said only two words into it, "Bai Wei."
"Mr. Si... Mr. Si..."
Bai Zhiyuan was still wailing behind. He suddenly felt that he shouldn't have taken on this immoral task entrusted by his cousin. In this situation, not only could he forget about becoming a department manager in Fir Company, but he might not even have the chance to spend the black card with over a million yuan in it!
"Bai Zhiyuan, come with us. You need to explain the situation of the car accident at the police station."
The police officers had finished investigating the scene. After hearing Bai Zhiyuan admit that he was instigated to cause the car accident to harm others, they naturally had to take him back for further investigation...
Si Jiangchen's motorcycle took me straight to the hospital the police officer told us about.
By this time, it was getting late. The afterglow of the setting sun gilded everything in the world with a faint golden edge.
In the corridor outside the emergency room, a little nurse with a round face was already waiting.
"Miss Du, you're finally here."
The little nurse looked extremely anxious. They had received a notice from the police officer and had been waiting here specifically.
This was because Du Wenzhong refused to cooperate with the emergency doctors' treatment.
He tightly hugged the blood - covered hedgehog in his arms. Even though he was in a coma, no one could pry his fingers open.
The doctor even used a sedative, but Du Wenzhong still held it like a priceless treasure and wouldn't allow anyone to get close.
"Then... How is my grandpa now?!"
After hearing what the little nurse said, I was both touched and worried. A Wen must have understood the conspiracy against Granny Bai the moment of the car accident. So he was willing to sacrifice his own life to protect Granny Bai's original form!
"His current condition is relatively stable, but we can't conduct further examinations because of his current state. There might be internal organ rupture after being hit by a car!"
As the little nurse spoke, she led us into the emergency room.
The emergency room was a large open - room with four observation beds. The other three beds also had emergency patients constantly groaning. Only on the outermost bed where Du Wenzhong lay, besides the regular beeping of the instruments, it was so quiet that it made one feel scared.
"Grandpa! Grandpa!!"
Du Wenzhong was lying on his side. His body under the white quilt was hunched like a shrimp. I stood beside him and called him softly, biting my lips hard to hold back my tears.
The sound of the instrument suddenly became chaotic. Du Wenzhong seemed to sense my arrival and showed a painful expression on his face.
"Grandpa, give Granny Bai to me. With Si Jiangchen and me here, no one will dare to hurt you two again."
As I said this, I gently lifted the quilt. Sure enough... Du Wenzhong's two arms were tightly protecting his chest, and a small pointed mouth was showing from his palm.
I reached out and held his wrist, and easily moved his arm away, revealing the blood - stained hedgehog protecting his chest. I reached out and picked up the gray - white hedgehog. The doctors and nurses waiting beside immediately rushed forward to start the rescue.
"......Beep........"
"Beep... Beep........"
In the noisy rescue crowd, I heard a few extremely harsh long alarm sounds from the instruments. The doctors and nurses around the emergency bed immediately became tense.
"Quick!! Cardiopulmonary resuscitation!"
"Adrenaline!"
"Hurry up! Get the defibrillator!"
...
All the hairs on my body stood on end. Although the room was lit, it seemed as if there was a piece of black glass separating me from the whole world. The noisy sounds in my ears also seemed to be coming from far away through a glass cover, and I couldn't hear clearly at all.
"Clank, clank..."
The sound of iron chains came from afar in the void. I could already see the ghost messenger wearing a tall bamboo hat that half - covered his rotten face dragging the black soul - capturing chain walking behind the busy doctors and nurses. His dead - like eyes stared emotionlessly at Du Wenzhong on the bed. The next second, the chain he dragged behind him seemed to be alive as it crossed over the doctors' bodies and wrapped around A Wen's neck.
"No!! Get out of here!!"
Seeing the ghost messenger attack A Wen, my blood turned cold. I rushed forward without hesitation, pushed aside the doctors around the hospital bed, and screamed as I tried to grab the chain that others couldn't see.
But my attempt was completely in vain. The black chain was forged by the Yin Division with boundless mental power since ancient times. Not to mention a small undead zombie like me, even the great immortals in heaven couldn't move it an inch!!
Du Wenzhong's soul was instantly dragged out of his body by the ghost messenger in the bamboo hat and stood there like a wooden chicken beside his own hospital bed...
"Little girl, don't interfere with the rescue!"
The doctors and nurses saw me suddenly go crazy and quickly dragged me away from Du Wenzhong's bed.
"Si Jiangchen, A Wen has been taken away. There's a ghost messenger here!!"
I knew that no one here could see the ghost messenger, and only Si Jiangchen would believe me.
Si Jiangchen had already pinched a magic formula and closed his eyelids slightly to chant the incantation softly when I rushed to the emergency bed. The longer the incantation, the more powerful the gods he could invoke. When I screamed and pointed at a certain place in the emergency room, he had already joined his fingers into a sword shape and pointed in the direction I pointed.
The ghost messenger had turned around as if there was no one else around. His dry fingers casually made a crack in the void, and then led Du Wenzhong towards the space filled with black mist.
I could see a green light shooting straight towards the back of the ghost messenger from Si Jiangchen's fingertips. There was the power of thunder faintly in the green light. The ghost messenger's bamboo hat was instantly split and fell to the ground, turning into a fine powder immediately.
The ghost messenger's half - rotten and dry face immediately turned around. In an instant, he rushed in front of Si Jiangchen. His dry nose was almost touching Si Jiangchen's face. "Bold mortal, how dare you obstruct the Yin messenger's work? Do you not want to live anymore?"
He thought that anyone who knew Taoism would have the yin - yang eyes and would be so frightened that they would kneel on the ground and beg for mercy immediately when seeing his terrifying and majestic image. But he didn't expect that Si Jiangchen didn't even blink an eye. He just turned his head and looked at me and asked, "Xiao He, have you stopped them?"
"Stopped them!"
I only had time to say these three words before I flew forward to block in front of Si Jiangchen, because the ghost messenger had already raised his skinny hand and was about to hit Si Jiangchen's face!!
