She Only Cares About Cultivation

Whether one is good at swimming or not was fully tested at that critical moment.

When rescuing the man, the water had not completely flooded in, so it was possible to pull him out directly. But when rescuing the female colleague, because the front windshield had let in water, the water poured in instantly, and the car door could not be opened. The only solution was to smash the rear window, and then pull the two people out.

At this time, she heard that people on the roadside had already begun a rescue operation for them. When Qi Qi pulled the people out, the two women were almost simultaneously clinging to her, desperately climbing upwards with her. In such life-and-death moments, this was instinctive human reaction, unrelated to them personally. She could only struggle in the water, using the space to catch her breath, and pushing them upwards.

The car had already entirely submerged and continued sinking downward. The male colleague was rescued up, and people were also swimming towards the female colleagues.

Qi Qi silently breathed a sigh of relief, but unfortunately, the water quality was poor, and she could hardly see her own car. She thought that when she had just started driving, there were no issues with the car. So why did the brakes suddenly fail halfway? She had just sent the car for maintenance a few days ago, so it couldn’t be a problem on her part; someone must have tampered with it.

Probably because Qi Qi had held her breath underwater for too long, people on the shore began shouting her name, and before long, she felt two men swimming towards her. She couldn’t tell the direction and wanted to raise her head out of the water, but found herself too weak to muster any strength, until she started sinking bit by bit, and suddenly she was simultaneously pulled up to the surface from both sides. The feeling of taking a deep breath was wonderful!

"Aunt Chen?"

When Qi Qi opened her eyes, Aunt Chen was busy in the kitchen of the hospital’s private room. Hearing her call, she came out excitedly holding a spatula.

"Oh my God, you’re finally awake. Wait a moment, I’ll go get the doctor."

Qi Qi struggled to prop herself up and looked around, discovering that this room was quite luxurious and must be a single room in the fifth hospital, the closest top-tier hospital to the incident site.

Before long, she heard the sound of hurried footsteps. Three or four doctors and nurses came in and did a thorough check-up on her. The doctor also sighed in relief.

"There’s nothing major, but due to a lung infection, you’ll need to recuperate for a few more days. Rest well, and stick to a bland diet."

After the doctor left, Aunt Chen looked at her with reddened eyes, her voice choked: "Do you want to scare me to death?"

"Aunt, don’t worry, I’m fine now,"

Qi Qi’s last memory was gasping for breath as she surfaced from the lake. After that, everything in her mind was chaotic; she couldn’t recall or even understand how she had been sent to the hospital and was staying in such a private room.

"When kind folks pulled you ashore yesterday, you were unconscious, and they rushed you to the hospital. After quite a bit of rescue effort, it’s now the second day, and you’re finally awake,"

Qi Qi suddenly thought of her two kids: "Don’t worry, I called my son over to accompany them,"

Qi Qi hesitated: "How did they contact you?"

"Your company has your home address registered. Your colleagues came directly to pick me up, grabbed some change of clothes, and brought me over."

Qi Qi gave an "ah" as a sign of understanding, "And how are those three colleagues of mine?"

"The male colleague is fine, just a bit shocked. The two female colleagues are not as serious as you. If it weren’t for you, honestly, why do you have to be so honest? If something happened to you, what would happen to your three children?"

She began to wipe tears again. Her caring manner was reminiscent of a mother’s, which moved Qi Qi greatly: "Aunt, I’m alright now, don’t worry."

"The accident car has already been retrieved for assessment. Your male colleague is dealing with this matter, and the police have been informed. Don’t worry, there will be results soon."

Her colleagues knew the car had been tampered with before losing control, and after the incident, they definitely would report it to the police first thing. She sighed in relief and suddenly thought.

"They didn’t tell Yangyang, did they?"

"Don’t worry, he’s in training now. Nobody told him, and even the two little ones, I just told them you were on a business trip for a few days. But this job of yours... Earlier, I heard the legal profession was pretty dangerous, often subject to revenge. Later, knowing you were a corporate lawyer, I thought it’d be safer, yet in just these few years, there’s retaliation already?"

Qi Qi couldn’t help but laugh: "Aunt, it’s just suspicion. Maybe it really was just my car having issues?"
