"What!" Hearing the other person's words, Wen Sining shot up from her seat. She steadied herself and said, "Qiao Xi, send me your location. I'll come right away. And stay in the car. Don't get out." As she spoke, she headed towards the door.
"Okay," Qiao Xi replied with a sob. She had been driving for so long, but this was the first time she had encountered such a thing.
In the next room, Lu Luochen, who was working, heard the sound of the door opening. He knew it was Wen Sining coming out, so he put down the documents in his hand and walked out. As soon as he opened the door, he saw Wen Sining looking anxious and walking downstairs in a hurry.
"What's going on?" Lu Luochen followed behind her and asked.
Wen Sining, who had just reached the bottom of the stairs, turned around when she heard the voice. She explained, "Qiao Xi has run into a little trouble. I need to go there now."
"Do you need my help?" As he spoke, he also reached the bottom of the stairs.
Wen Sining shook her head, indicating that she didn't need help. After seeing her refusal, Lu Luochen didn't insist. He just said, "Call me if you need my help."
Wen Sining agreed and then left the Lu family mansion. She looked at the location Qiao Xi had sent her on her phone, directly set the navigation, and it took about half an hour to get there.
As soon as she arrived, she saw Qiao Xi's car. There was also a man standing beside it. The man looked to be about forty years old. He was sitting on the ground, covering his left leg, looking in great pain.
Wen Sining immediately understood what was going on. She walked over and knocked on the window of the driver's seat.
When Qiao Xi saw it was Wen Sining, she opened the car door and got out. She wiped away her tears and said, "You're finally here."
"Okay, okay. Leave the rest to me," Wen Sining said comfortingly.
Qiao Xi nodded and said in a muffled voice, "I didn't hit him. He ran into my car on purpose."
Wen Sining nodded. She naturally believed Qiao Xi's words. After all, she had known her for so many years and knew that she was very careful when driving and always gave way to pedestrians. How could such an accident happen?
The middle - aged man who was "hit" immediately got angry when he heard what Qiao Xi said. He stepped forward and said, "How can you talk like that, little girl? I'm a normal person. Why would I run into your car? It's obvious that you hit me. If you keep talking like this, I'll sue you in court." He said this pretending to be fierce.
Qiao Xi opened her mouth to refute, "I didn't." Her words sounded weak. To anyone, it seemed like a car hitting a person. How could there be an accident of a person hitting a car?
The middle - aged man snorted disdainfully, "If you don't take me to the hospital soon, my leg might be useless if we delay any longer."
Hearing his words, Qiao Xi became anxious. "I'll pay you the money. Then I'll take you to the hospital. Let's settle this privately." She didn't want to make a big deal out of it, even though she was the one at a disadvantage in this matter.
Meanwhile, Wen Sining had been taking pictures at the scene and checking the driving recorder. The facts proved that, just as Qiao Xi had said, the middle - aged man had deliberately run into the car.
The middle - aged man wanted to agree. He looked up and accidentally made eye contact with Wen Sining, then quickly looked away. This was a sign of his guilt.
Wen Sining saw all this. She hooked the corner of her lips imperceptibly. It seemed that he was actually fine.
"Stop. Don't give him any money," Wen Sining said. The two of them immediately turned their gazes to her.
Wen Sining continued, "Didn't you just say you wanted to sue? Then I'll call the traffic police now and let them handle it." After saying that, she took out her phone from her bag and was about to call the traffic police right in front of the middle - aged man.
The middle - aged man didn't expect the situation to develop in this way. If the traffic police really came, everything he had done would be exposed. He immediately panicked and stopped Wen Sining in a hurry. "I don't want to make a big deal out of this either. You take me to Heguo Hospital for a check - up. You'll be responsible for the medical expenses."
He had colluded with the hospital in advance. Once they got to the hospital, the doctors and nurses would naturally talk to them about compensation. By then, he would get all the money he deserved.
Before the hit - and - run scam, he had specifically chosen this car. On the one hand, because Qiao Xi was a woman driving alone. On the other hand, because the car was very valuable. Usually, people like this would just pay the money to solve the problem. Who knew these two women in front of him were different from what he had imagined.
Wen Sining knew exactly what he was thinking. After all, the hospital he mentioned was very far away. There was a better hospital nearby, but he insisted on going there. It was obvious what was going on.
"No need. I'm a surgeon at Jingren Hospital. I'll check you out," Wen Sining said. After that, she walked around to the back of the car, took out a baseball bat, and walked straight towards him, saying, "I'll use this to see exactly what's wrong with you so that we'll know what to expect."
"Oh, I forgot to mention. Before I became a doctor, I was also a kickboxing athlete and won a provincial - level certificate. I don't know my own strength. If I hurt you, please forgive me." She walked up to the middle - aged man, raised the baseball bat, looking like she was going to check his body.
The middle - aged man could tell that Wen Sining wasn't joking. He immediately stood up from the ground and ran in the opposite direction, fleeing in a hurry.
Qiao Xi found his appearance funny. "Sining, it has to be you. Otherwise, I would have been scammed out of so much money."
Wen Sining nodded. "Since he tried to scam you, I have to teach him a lesson." She put the baseball bat back in the trunk.
They had planned to go play baseball last time, but due to time constraints, they didn't go. The baseball bat had been left in the trunk ever since, and unexpectedly, it came in handy today.
Qiao Xi nodded. "Sining, to thank you, I'll treat you to dinner. It's been a long time since we had a meal together." During this period, she had been busy dealing with Xia Duoduo's matter. Even when the female protagonist was hospitalized, she could only visit during her spare time.
Wen Sining looked at the time and finally nodded. She didn't have anything to do later anyway.
"What would you like to eat?" Qiao Xi asked.
Wen Sining thought for a while and said, "Let's go eat the wontons downstairs of the company. You'll go to the company later anyway, and I haven't eaten them for a long time." She actually wanted to eat something spicy, but since she had just had surgery, she couldn't eat such food.
Qiao Xi nodded. The two of them started their cars and drove towards the company one after another.
