Chapter 1215: Chapter 1215: Aftermath
Someone jumped over the bumper to check on the two of them.
"Are you okay?" It was the parking lot security guard, and more parking lot guests and witnesses came to help.
"That car didn’t even stop!"
Others asked them how their injuries were.
"We’re okay!" the two answered in unison.
Someone had already taken out the first aid kit, it was indeed a medical exchange conference, and professional doctors were not lacking.
Gauze was taken out to disinfect and stop bleeding from the hands of the two, and someone used gauze to press on the slowly bleeding wound on Qi Yuqing’s forehead.
Since the car that was hit leaned toward the adjacent car, the bumpers of the two cars nearly touched. Bai Xiao and Qi Yuqing were sitting in a space somewhat shaped like a V.
With more rescuers now, it was a bit crowded.
Bai Xiao looked at the people helping, "Please call the police, that bastard almost hit us and then drove away. The owners of these two cars need a police record to file a claim."
Someone nearby took out a phone, "I have a phone, calling the police right now."
Within minutes, police cars arrived at the scene, along with ambulances and medical personnel.
Although Bai Xiao and the others repeatedly assured they were okay, they were still lifted onto the ambulance for a quick check-up at the hospital.
Police began their investigation at the scene, and someone kept recounting the situation, "That person’s car didn’t even have a license plate. I saw him leaving the parking lot clearly as he obviously didn’t intend to stop."
The investigation revealed that no one recognized him; after all, this was a five-star hotel, and it’s impossible for everyone to know each other.
Besides, there were no cameras in the parking lot, only at the toll station; anyone could park here whether they were staying or not.
There wouldn’t be any document to prove anything.
Bai Xiao said, "I was standing right there. It looked like he intended to hit us." She didn’t suggest the driver’s veins flowed with any wild genes, but she boldly speculated.
Qi Yuqing was also puzzled. When it was her turn, she calmly told an officer, "Couldn’t he have been drunk? The problem is, I feel it was premeditated; otherwise, how could he hit us from so far away? I even heard the sound of him reversing."
The officer smiled kindly, many people tend to exaggerate things.
"Really! If you don’t believe me, I really heard the reversing sound. He didn’t leave after hitting us, but continued reversing to hit other cars. Is that normal?"
The officer finally became serious.
"You think this was intentional."
"I know it was intentional; his goal was to kill us," Bai Xiao said, trying to keep her voice steady, her heart shaking with anger.
He really meant to kill the two of them.
She felt the malice when he accelerated upon seeing them.
She didn’t know when she concluded someone wanted them dead—maybe when she was wedged between the two cars, hearing the impact behind.
But she wasn’t stupid or delusional.
She genuinely felt someone wanted to kill them.
Qi Yuqing’s ankle X-ray showed a slight fracture.
The ankle didn’t need a cast but was tightly bandaged, with the doctor ordering her to rest for a week.
Bai Xiao’s wound was cleaned and bandaged, allowing her to leave.
The two were not in a good mood.
"Doctor Bai, Doctor Qi," the officer said slowly, carefully choosing his words to avoid offending them. "We’ll take this seriously. You both should rest well now."
Right now, they couldn’t immediately find the perpetrator.
The police sent the two back to the hotel, and Bai Song called, shocked to learn Bai Xiao and the others were injured, rushing over.
In Bai Xiao and Qi Yuqing’s room, three leaders made an appearance.
The room was already crowded.
Over twenty team members watched Bai Xiao and Qi Yuqing worriedly.
The competition was tomorrow, and with such an accident now, Bai Xiao’s hand and Qi Yuqing’s foot injured, it was a clear loss of two key players.
Especially Bai Xiao, who was not only the captain but also the team’s core; this situation was demoralizing.
It seemed like a bad omen.
The three leaders felt even more vexed.
How did such an incident happen when everything was fine?
"Doctor Bai, Doctor Qi, how are your injuries? Are they serious?" They came as soon as they found out.
"Leaders, it’s nothing! My hand’s only slightly scraped, though it looks bad, it’s just the antiseptic’s fault; it should be fine tomorrow. Besides, tomorrow’s team round only requires us to pass the preliminaries, and two more segments follow before the surgery round.
Even if we’re injured, it won’t affect the team’s performance; even if we can’t use our hands, we can still use our mouths."
Bai Xiao’s words comforted many.
Ren Min nodded, "That’s good! That’s good; you both need to rest well; don’t go out today, and let everyone bring food back for you." Worried about them getting into danger again.
It was hard for so many to enter the semifinals, aiming for a good result wasn’t easy.
The best performance for China was only stopping at semifinals, twentieth place.
This time, senior leaders and others only asked them to be within the top twenty in the semifinals, and they would consider it a success.
No more mishaps could occur.
Bai Xiao and Qi Yuqing nodded, exchanging glances, they smiled bitterly, their hot pot was gone.
"Rest well!"
After a series of consolations, the room emptied.
Qi Yuqing looked at Bai Xiao, Bai Xiao looked at Qi Yuqing’s ankle.
The two burst into laughter.
Laughter lasted less than two minutes before Bai Song arrived.
Seeing his brother carrying meal boxes, Bai Xiao grinned wickedly.
Elder brother was truly a wonderful person.
Thoughtfully packed boiled hot pot dishes for them, practically a spicy broth meal.
Bai Xiao and Qi Yuqing cheered.
Bai Song could only smile helplessly.
Watching the two voraciously eating, his sister didn’t throw up, it seemed hot pot had saved the day.
Concerned, he asked Bai Xiao, "What happened today? How could you be so careless? The two of you combined are fifty or sixty years old, yet you almost got hit. What are your eyes for?" These were dissatisfied complaints.
Bai Xiao protested, "Elder brother, we definitely followed traffic rules; that person clearly intended to kill us. It wasn’t just a simple accident; I saw clearly, he hit us on purpose, it was premeditated."
Qi Yuqing nodded in agreement.
"I saw it too; after the crash, seeing us unharmed, he even wanted to reverse and hit us again. If that’s not murder, what is?"
Frustrated explanations.
Bai Song immediately became unsettled.
Concerning his sister’s safety, he couldn’t be careless.
