Chapter 338: Chapter 338: An Accident

In an instant, Hua Qinfeng’s expression turned incredibly foul.

Thinking about his earlier attitude toward Jiang Fan, he couldn’t help but lower his head.

"Young Master Hua, what do you think? Was I just a fraud?" Jiang Fan asked at just the right moment.

Hua Qinfeng’s expression grew even more foul, and he lowered his head in shame and indignation.

After a long moment, he finally gritted his teeth and said, "Mr. Jiang, I was blind. I misunderstood you!"

At that moment, Huayang quickly added, "Mr. Jiang, please don’t be offended. My son just returned from the provincial capital and wasn’t aware of your extraordinary abilities. He judged you unfairly. I apologize on his behalf."

Jiang Fan shook his head. He didn’t want to bother arguing with a guy like Hua Qinfeng.

"Forget it. As long as the old master is fine, that’s all that matters. Bring me a pen and paper. I’ll write another traditional medicine prescription, and Elder Hua’s illness will be cured in just a few days."

"Then we’ll have to trouble you, Mr. Jiang!" Huayang said quickly.

As he spoke, he gestured with his eyes to a man at the door.

The man immediately understood and brought over the white case from before.

"Mr. Jiang, this is your consultation fee. I will personally visit you in a couple of days with another generous gift."

Jiang Fan glanced at the large case and gave a wry smile. "Where am I supposed to carry a case this big? In a bit, I’ll send my bank account number to the Third Young Master. Just have him wire the money directly."

"No problem, Fan!" Hua Qinyun replied readily.

Jiang Fan finished writing the prescription, handed it to Xu Shichong, and left the Hua Family Villa.

As he was leaving the villa, Jiang Fan saw a text message on his phone. It was a notification that Hua Qinyun had transferred him the money.

Jiang Fan hadn’t expected him to complete the transfer so quickly after he had just sent Hua Qinyun his account number—and for two million, no less.

He had to admit, Hua Qinyun was quite efficient.

In such a short time, he had caused the Hua Family to pay an extra million, and Jiang Fan felt a little bad about it.

But then again, he had also said he wouldn’t accept a reward without merit. Since he had saved Elder Hua’s life, two million wasn’t really that much.

Jiang Fan didn’t dwell on it and started the car.

He hadn’t driven far when his phone suddenly rang again.

Jiang Fan glanced at it—the call was from Li Muwan.

He suddenly remembered that Li Muwan had called him earlier when his phone was broken.

After a moment’s hesitation, Jiang Fan answered the call.

"Hello!"

Jiang Fan’s tone was a bit cold. Although he was no longer angry with Li Muwan, he didn’t want to get tangled up with her again.

The last time Li Muwan went drinking at a bar, he had offended Tang Mengtao for her. As far as he was concerned, he had done all he could for her.

"Jiang Fan!"

On the other end of the line, Li Muwan cried out.

Jiang Fan could clearly hear the tears in her voice.

It was a heart-wrenching sob.

The moment the call connected, Li Muwan seemed to completely break down.

"What’s wrong?" Jiang Fan quickly soothed. "Don’t panic. Tell me slowly."

"Jiang Fan, where are you?" Li Muwan’s voice was choked with sobs.

"My phone was broken just now, so I missed your call. What on earth happened?"

"Jiang Fan, my parents were in a car accident! They’re... they’re in the emergency room right now. What should I do?"

"What? Your parents were in a car accident?" Jiang Fan said in surprise. "Where are you now? I’m on my way."

"I’m at Yang City Hospital!" Li Muwan said.

"Wait for me. I’ll be right there!"

Hearing that Li Jiaxiang and Zhou Jing had been in an accident, Jiang Fan’s first reaction was a pang of heartache.

No matter what, Mr. and Mrs. Li had been quite good to him. Besides, Li Jiaxiang had helped him out a lot. The last thing he wanted was to hear terrible news about the couple.

Hanging up the phone, Jiang Fan floored the accelerator.

Relying on his eyesight, he ignored the traffic lights and sped directly toward the hospital.

As for any traffic violations, he’d leave that for Yin Ruxue to handle.

Just over ten minutes later, the car screeched to a halt in front of Yang City Hospital.

Jiang Fan got out and sprinted toward the emergency room, spotting Li Muwan slumped on the floor from a distance.

Next to Li Muwan was Yin Ruxue.

Yin Ruxue was gently supporting Li Muwan, and both of their faces were grave.

"What’s the situation?" Jiang Fan asked as he ran up.

At that moment, Li Muwan stood up and threw herself into Jiang Fan’s arms.

"Jiang Fan, you’re finally here!"

As a soft body pressed into his embrace, Jiang Fan’s first reaction was to look at Yin Ruxue.

Yin Ruxue’s face was dark. Her gaze was somewhat evasive, but filled mostly with pain.

Jiang Fan sighed and gently held Li Muwan.

"Wan’Er, don’t panic just yet."

He spoke as he slowly helped Li Muwan to a seat.

Li Muwan leaned on Jiang Fan’s shoulder, her body limp and weak, crying uncontrollably.

It was Yin Ruxue who spoke up in a low voice from the side. "They were already taken to the emergency room when we arrived. We don’t know the situation yet."

Hearing Yin Ruxue’s words, Li Muwan cried even harder.

"Jiang Fan, if my parents don’t make it, how am I supposed to go on living?"

"Don’t say that, Wan’Er. Your parents will be fine!"

Li Muwan’s face was tear-streaked as she suddenly started slapping herself across the face repeatedly.

"It’s all my fault, all my fault!"

"Wan’Er, don’t do this!" Yin Ruxue hurriedly grabbed Li Muwan’s hands. "Don’t blame yourself!"

"How can I not blame myself? If I hadn’t been drinking and ignored my parents’ calls, they wouldn’t have driven from the provincial capital so early this morning to find me, and they wouldn’t have gotten into a car accident!"

Hearing this, Jiang Fan finally understood. Li Jiaxiang and Zhou Jing had been in the accident because they were coming to Yang City to find Li Muwan.

No wonder Li Muwan was blaming herself so much.

Listening to Li Muwan’s words, Jiang Fan couldn’t help but feel a pang of sadness.

In any case, Li Jiaxiang was, for all intents and purposes, his father-in-law. It was only natural for him to feel terrible that something had happened to him.

And the reason Li Muwan had been drinking was probably related to him quitting his job and arguing with her at the hotel.

Although Jiang Fan wasn’t really at fault, thinking about it this way still made him feel a little guilty.

He sighed and comforted her, "Wan’Er, don’t worry for now. Your parents will definitely be okay!"

As he spoke, he activated his x-ray vision and looked toward the emergency room.

Inside the vast operating room, there were two hospital beds, one on the left and one on the right. More than a dozen doctors swarmed around them. Li Jiaxiang and Zhou Jing lay on the beds, both covered in blood.

Mrs. Li’s condition seemed slightly better. Although she had numerous scrapes and was unconscious, she had no fatal injuries or severe fractures.

Compared to Mrs. Li, Li Jiaxiang’s condition was far worse. He had suffered severe head trauma, his arm was badly fractured and deformed, and his body was covered in more than ten wounds of various sizes. At this moment, his breathing was faint.
