"Right, your family has plenty of money for you to 'rip off' your dad," Wei Ziqi joked when he saw Miaomiao's attitude. Indeed, in terms of money, no matter how much Miaomiao "ripped off" her dad, Lin Yao wouldn't be angry.
"Yeah, my family has lots of money," Miaomiao nodded seriously, completely oblivious to Wei Ziqi's teasing. Her hand still rested on the old man's pulse, constantly monitoring his heartbeat.
"But if he wakes up and accuses you of hitting him and asks you for compensation, won't you be sad?"
After some thought, Wei Ziqi decided to give Miaomiao a heads - up. After all, Miaomiao was extremely kind - hearted. It would be a pity if she got sad because of such an unimportant person.
"No, why should I be sad? Saving him is a good deed. I'll be happy doing good deeds. If he frames me, it's his misdeed. His conscience will be troubled. He can do his evil, and I'll accumulate my virtue. Karma will come around one day."
Wei Ziqi's eyes widened in disbelief. He could hardly imagine such philosophical words coming from Miaomiao, who was usually so straightforward.
But then he thought it was only natural. Miaomiao wouldn't be who she was if she gave up doing good deeds just because she was afraid of potential harm.
"Good, as long as you're not sad. Money is not a big deal," Wei Ziqi said with a smile, patting Miaomiao on the head. He stayed with her, waiting for the ambulance.
Not long after, the distinct siren of an ambulance sounded in the distance. A group of white - coated angels got out of the vehicle and carried the old man onto a stretcher.
"Is there any family member around?"
A nurse shouted just before closing the ambulance door.
"No, but these two kids gave the old man first - aid just now. If there's any problem, you should let them go with us too!"
Oh, it was that young man speaking.
Wei Ziqi shot him a cold look and caught a fleeting look of schadenfreude on the young man's face. He didn't seem to be giving a kind reminder at all.
If it were a truly responsible and kind reminder, that would be fine. But this young man clearly just couldn't stand others being well. He was the typical kind of person who was unhappy with his own life, petty, and always trying to cause trouble for others.
Wei Ziqi sized him up and down several times, imprinting the young man's appearance and build firmly in his mind.
He had a good memory. This guy couldn't escape.
"Excuse me, we just gave the old man some first - aid measures. Since the old man had a cardiac arrest, we had no choice. We can go to the hospital with the ambulance. If it's found that something went wrong because of our improper operation, we'll take responsibility," Wei Ziqi explained politely to the nurse.
"At present, it seems that the patient passed out due to lack of oxygen. If there really was a cardiac arrest, your first - aid measures were completely correct. Anyway, you did a great job. Come on board. We'll only know the rest after further examinations."
The nurse smiled gently and took Miaomiao's little hand, helping her into the ambulance. She was afraid that the words of the onlookers might cause psychological harm to the two kids.
After all, saving a life was a good deed, and having the intention to do so was also a good thing. It was this little boy who called the ambulance. He seemed much better than all the adults around who just watched but did nothing.
The two kids went to the hospital with the ambulance. On the way, Wei Ziqi called Lin Yao to explain the situation. Lin Yao said that his assistant would come to help them, and he himself would arrive soon.
When they got to the hospital, the assistant was already waiting.
The young assistant had a sharp eye. He immediately noticed that the old man sent to the emergency room was wearing expensive clothes from head to toe. There was no way he would try to extort money. So he decided to be a good Samaritan to the end and paid the old man's hospitalization fee.
Regardless of the old man's identity, it was a good deed that might bring good fortune.
As soon as Lin Yao arrived, he saw Miaomiao sitting nervously outside the operating room, looking worried. He quickly walked up and said, "Don't worry. If he tries to frame you, Dad will definitely get you justice."
"No, Dad, I'm not afraid of that. I'm afraid I used the wrong method. Actually, when the old man fainted, I wasn't completely sure, so..."
Seeing her dad, Miaomiao found her backbone and poured out all her worries.
The old man had been in the operating room for over an hour, and there was no news at all. So it was natural for Miaomiao to be afraid.
"No, even if you weren't completely sure, you took first - aid measures in an emergency. Many adults were too scared to do anything and stepped back. Our Miaomiao has done a great job," Lin Yao said, frowning with心疼 as he saw his daughter so down.
Wei Ziqi was sitting on a chair, writing and drawing in a notebook. But from the way the notebook was held up, it was obvious he wasn't studying.
Lin Yao patted Miaomiao on the shoulder and motioned for her to sit down. Then his gaze turned to Wei Ziqi. Sensing the powerful man's stare, Wei Ziqi quickly looked up, then lowered his head and scribbled a few more strokes before saying, "Uncle Lin, I have something to tell you."
Oh, if Wei Ziqi said so, it meant Miaomiao shouldn't hear it.
Lin Yao immediately understood. He took Wei Ziqi to a far - off corridor corner and asked, "What's the matter?"
"Please find this person for me, Uncle Lin. I've marked his approximate height and weight on this portrait..."
Wei Ziqi repeated exactly what the schadenfreude - filled young man had said and done.
Lin Yao frowned as he took the portrait. Looking at the somewhat rat - faced man on the paper, he sneered and said, "Okay, I know. Go and accompany Miaomiao. I'll deal with this person first."
Damn it. This guy thought he could play tricks on his daughter. He didn't even know his own limits.
With Wei Ziqi and the young assistant here, Lin Yao had nothing to worry about. In Nancheng, he didn't need to wait until the next day to get even with someone. He was in a bad mood anyway, and this guy just happened to cross his path.
Lin Yao turned around and left the hospital. Wei Ziqi went back to accompany Miaomiao.
The young man who had just made sarcastic remarks and tried to frame Miaomiao and Wei Ziqi returned home. He opened his phone and looked at the photos in his album, smiling sinisterly. After being scolded by his boss all day at work, framing someone and looking at the saved video made him feel much better.
Suddenly, a text message interrupted his smile. The sender was labeled "boss". He thought it was another message asking him to work overtime. Impatiently, he opened WeChat, only to see the news of his dismissal.
"You don't need to come to work tomorrow. I'll transfer your salary to your card. Your internship has failed, and I won't stamp your internship certificate."
The young man might have scoffed at the first half of the message, but the second half really made him panic.
He had been slaving away for half a month during his internship. Wasn't it all for that internship recognition stamp?
"Boss, why? I've never made a mistake in my work this half - month!"
"Hehe, don't you know who you've offended? Don't message me anymore. The severance pay will be transferred to you along with your salary."
The young man wanted to send another message, but all he saw was a red exclamation mark. He had been blocked by his boss.
Looking at the red exclamation mark on his phone, the young man's face turned livid with anger. He was so furious that he wanted to smash his phone on the ground, but he held back. It was the latest model, costing nearly ten thousand yuan. He just couldn't bear to break it.
The boss's last text message kept flashing through his mind. Who had he offended? He bowed and scraped every day, almost burying his head in the ground...
No! He had just framed two kids!
No way? Could it really be those two kids?
