Manufacturing the Traffic Accident: How Did a Mere Ride-Hailing Driver Get So Rich?

Chapter 394: Manufacturing the Traffic Accident

Yang Chen arrived at Li Hongyan’s daughter’s hospital room.

Knowing that Yang Chen would come in the evening, Li Hongyan rushed over before her work hours ended.

“Mr. Yang, I’m so sorry to trouble you. I will always remember your great kindness,” Li Hongyan said earnestly.

Yang Chen smiled and replied, “You’re welcome. Let me check on the child first.”

The child’s vital signs were stable, indicating that Yang Chen’s treatment was effective.

Yang Chen took out his gold needles and began treating the child.

After Yang Chen inserted the needles, Li Hongyan asked softly, “Mr. Yang, will my daughter have any aftereffects?”

Yang Chen confidently replied, “Don’t worry, I will definitely restore the child to normal. With your good family conditions and access to the best medicine, I guarantee she will grow up as healthy as other children.”

Li Hongyan breathed a sigh of relief and said, “That’s good. This child is so pitiful. If she suffered irreversible harm because of me, I would feel guilty for the rest of my life.”

Hmm?

Why does that sound a bit strange?

After a while, Yang Chen removed the gold needles.

Before he could put the needles away, the child slowly opened her eyes.

Li Hongyan immediately cried with excitement and quickly stepped forward, asking softly, “Xiaoyun, you’re finally awake. How do you feel? Are you uncomfortable anywhere?”

The child blinked but said nothing.

Yang Chen reminded Li Hongyan not to talk to the child for now, as she was very weak and needed to rest quietly.

Li Hongyan nodded.

At this moment, the nurse brought the freshly brewed medicine, and Li Hongyan quickly fed it to her daughter herself.

Yang Chen instructed, “Now that the child is awake, she is out of danger. President Li, don’t worry too much. Talk to her less and let her rest well. I’m leaving now. Call me if anything comes up.”

Li Hongyan was feeding the child medicine and couldn’t see Yang Chen off, so she could only say goodbye verbally.

Originally, Yang Chen planned to find a restaurant outside to eat something before picking up passengers.

However, as soon as he left the hospital, Tang Xuexu called.

“Hello, Yang Chen, are you done with your work? I’ve made dinner. Are you coming back to eat?” Tang Xuexu asked.

*Goodness, she’s really addicted to cooking.*

Yang Chen was too embarrassed to disappoint her, so he replied, “Just finished, I’m heading back now.”

Tang Xuexu was extremely happy and said, “Okay! I’ll wait for you. Hehe…”

Hanging up the phone, Yang Chen drove to Tang Xuexu’s house.

Not long after, Yang Chen saw what appeared to be a traffic accident ahead.

Originally, he didn’t want to get involved, but as he got closer, he saw Huang Yu slumped over the steering wheel.

Yang Chen’s heart skipped a beat. *This guy just broke up with a gold-digging woman; could something have happened to him?*

Yang Chen drove ahead, parked by the side of the road, and quickly ran over with his needle kit.

The onlookers were talking.

“Sigh… so pitiful, another ride-hailing driver died suddenly.”

“He must have been working too hard. The pressure of life is too great now. You can’t survive without *拼命 [pinyin: pīnmìng, meaning ‘risking one’s life’ or ‘going all out’]*. ”

“I don’t know what his parents will do. If they knew he had an accident, they would be heartbroken.”

…

Previously, Huang Yu had said that he drove for 18 hours a day. Doing that once in a while might not have a big impact, but doing it regularly could cause great harm to the body.

The onlookers didn’t dare to approach.

They could only wait for the ambulance to come and rescue him.

Yang Chen came to Huang Yu’s side and was about to check his condition when a traffic police officer quickly came over to stop him.

“What are you doing? Don’t mess with the scene!” the officer said.

Yang Chen quickly explained, “I know medicine, and I know him too. Let me take a look.”

The officer didn’t stop Yang Chen anymore.

Yang Chen quickly checked Huang Yu’s pulse and found that he was not dead.

But now there was a problem. With so many people watching, especially with the traffic police present, he couldn’t easily save Huang Yu.

Just then, the ambulance arrived.

The doctor quickly checked Huang Yu and then shook his head, saying to his colleague, “He’s gone.”

Yang Chen immediately became anxious and said, “Don’t talk nonsense. He’s still alive.”

The doctor was stunned and quickly checked again. Then, with a certain tone, he replied, “The one who’s talking nonsense should be you. I can tell you with certainty that he has passed away.”

Yang Chen: “He’s just in a state of suspended animation, not really dead. I can try to save him, but I can’t guarantee success. That’s why I’m hesitant to act.”

The onlookers discussed among themselves.

“Really? The doctor said he’s dead, how can he say he’s not dead? Does he know more than the doctor?”

“Who is he? Why does he dare to say that?”

“Hey, this is not a joke. Are you sure he’s not dead? Are you sure you can save him?”

…

Yang Chen nodded and said very confidently, “I can assure everyone that he is definitely not dead. I hope everyone can be a witness. The doctor said he is already dead. If I save him, then everyone will be happy. If I don’t save him, I should not be held responsible. Is that okay?”

The crowd nodded in response.

“No problem! We’ll be your witness!”

“Anyway, it’s like treating a dead horse as if it were still alive [a Chinese idiom meaning to try everything possible]. The doctor has already declared him dead. It doesn’t matter if you can’t cure him. If you do, it’s a good thing.”

“We’ll all be your witness. Hurry up and treat him.”

…

The doctor was unhappy. *Wasn’t Yang Chen ruining his reputation in public?*

“Excuse me, who are you? Are you a doctor?” the doctor asked.

“I’m not a doctor, but I’ve studied medicine. Please move aside a little, I need to treat him,” Yang Chen replied.

The onlookers urged the doctor to move aside quickly and not delay Yang Chen from treating Huang Yu.

The traffic police officer also felt that treating a dead horse as if it were still alive was better than directly announcing the patient’s death.

So, they came forward and called the medical staff aside.

Now everyone was staring at Yang Chen to see if he could perform a miracle.

Yang Chen gently laid Huang Yu down and then began to treat him with needles.

Yang Chen’s treatment method was very simple, which was to stimulate adrenaline secretion and forcibly “restart” Huang Yu’s heartbeat and breathing.

The doctor looked disdainful. He was very confident in his medical skills and would never make a wrong diagnosis.

“Acting like a quack! If this could bring people back to life, why is traditional medicine in its current state?” the doctor muttered softly.

The onlookers also expressed doubts.

“Wow, can three needles save someone? What a joke!”

“I’m really unimpressed. I thought he knew some advanced medical skills, but that’s it! I might believe this kind of thing if it appeared in a novel, but who would believe it in reality?”

“Traditional medicine can regulate the body, and it takes a long time for treatment to be effective. Now, to save someone who has been declared dead by Western medicine with these three needles? What a waste of time.”

…

*Brother Chen specializes in curing all kinds of disobedience [a playful reference to a common internet meme].*

Yang Chen’s gold needles stimulated the pituitary gland, and Huang Yu’s body secreted a large amount of adrenaline in a short period of time.

Not long after, Huang Yu’s hand moved.

Seconds later, Huang Yu took a few breaths and then opened his eyes.

The scene immediately stirred up.

“Oh my, he really cured him!”

“Wow, did the doctor make a wrong diagnosis, or does he have the ability to bring the dead back to life?”

“This is too amazing. Who said traditional medicine doesn’t work just now?”

“Damn, I admit I was a bit mindless just now. Our traditional medicine is really strong; it can actually bring the dead back to life.”

“How did he do it? Is he a descendant of some miraculous doctor?”

…

Huang Yu forced a smile and said weakly, “Brother Yang, you saved my life again. I really don’t know how to thank you. If you need anything in the future, just ask, and I will do it for you even if it costs me my life.”

Yang Chen smiled and comforted him, “It’s fate that we met. No need to thank me. I’m just stimulating you to secrete a large amount of adrenaline to help you wake up. You still need to go to the hospital for regular treatment. You will be very weak and lack energy for the next period of time, but it’s not a big problem. Rest well and eat some supplements to help you recover quickly.”

Huang Yu: “Thank you, Brother Yang. I will always remember your great kindness. From now on, my life is yours.”

Yang Chen smiled, took out the gold needles, and said, “I know your feelings. Go to the hospital and cooperate with the treatment. We’ll talk after you recover.”

Huang Yu nodded with a smile.

Yang Chen walked to the embarrassed doctor and said, “Send him to the hospital.”

The doctor nodded awkwardly and asked, a little embarrassed, “Hey, can I ask how you did it? How can three needles bring someone back to life?”

Yang Chen: “I said just now that he was not dead, but in a state of suspended animation. At this time, it is necessary to stimulate the body to secrete a large amount of adrenaline to forcibly restart his heartbeat and breathing. The principle is very simple, but it requires some technique.”

The doctor was even more embarrassed. He had just confidently said that Huang Yu had passed away.

Now that Huang Yu had woken up, didn’t that mean his medical skills were not good?

The onlookers started talking again.

“Wow, you quack doctors are too harmful. The person was clearly alive, but you said he was dead. If it weren’t for this handsome guy, wouldn’t this driver have been killed by you?”

“Which hospital are you from? I’ll avoid it in the future. If I’m unlucky enough to run into a doctor like you, I’d rather die than live.”

“Today has really opened my eyes. I’ve seen how *坑人 [kēng rén, meaning ‘to screw someone over’ or ‘rip someone off’]* quack doctors can be, and I’ve also seen how awesome Dragon Country’s traditional medicine is!”

…

The doctor was so embarrassed that he quickly called the nurse to put Huang Yu in the car and take him to the hospital for treatment.

Yang Chen prepared to leave, and the people at the scene applauded him.

Yang Chen smiled, waved to everyone, got in the car, and left.

Huang Yu settled down in the hospital and called his father, Huang Ming.

When his father learned that he had an accident, he quickly brought his mother to the hospital.

Learning that a ride-hailing driver had saved his son’s life, Huang Ming and his wife insisted on expressing their gratitude in person.

Huang Yu then sent a video call request to Yang Chen.

At this time, Yang Chen had just finished dinner and was lying on his bed in his room playing with his phone.

Yang Chen adjusted his position and answered the video call.

Huang Yu: “Brother Yang, am I disturbing you?”

Yang Chen: “No. What’s the matter?”

Huang Yu: “It’s like this, my parents know that you saved me and they want to say thank you to you.”

Then, Huang Yu pointed the phone camera at his parents.

Huang Ming was stunned the first time he saw Yang Chen. From his expression, it was clear that Yang Chen’s appearance had affected him deeply.

Huang Yu’s mother quickly said some words of thanks, and Yang Chen also responded politely.

However, Yang Chen noticed Huang Ming’s strangeness, and his intuition told him that something was wrong.

After a while, Huang Ming said with a smile, “I’ll go out and chat with Yang Chen alone for a while. You watch over our son.”

Huang Ming took the phone and went out, coming to the end of the corridor.

Yang Chen watched him quietly, waiting for him to speak first.

After hesitating for a while, Huang Ming finally spoke.

“Your father’s name is Yang Qingshan, right?” Huang Ming asked directly.

Yang Chen sat up straight in a hurry and asked, “You know my dad?”

Huang Ming sighed softly and said, “I know…”

Obviously, he hesitated, clearly having something to say.

Yang Chen: “What is your relationship with my dad?”

Huang Ming was silent.

Yang Chen was not in a hurry and waited quietly.

After at least three minutes, Huang Ming finally understood and said, “I am the driver from back then.”

Yang Chen instantly jumped up, his eyes shining, and said, “You are the driver who caused the accident that killed my parents?”

Huang Ming: “I deliberately pretended that the car stalled and made an emergency stop to cause a traffic accident, but your parents didn’t die at the time. They were burned to death by someone who ignited the car.”

Yang Chen: “Who did it?”

Huang Ming: “Chen Junpeng.”

Yang Chen: “I’m asking who was behind it.”

Huang Ming: “I don’t know exactly who it was, but I can be sure that it has something to do with Tang Qing and Xu Hu.”

Tang Qing?

Tang Xuexu’s grandfather.

It seemed that Yang Chen’s suspicion was correct, and his parents’ death was indeed related to the Tang family.

“Uncle, you can’t joke about this kind of thing,” Yang Chen said.

Huang Ming replied very seriously, “I swear on my life that what I know is this. I owed a lot of money back then, so I took the risk and did such a thing. Chen Junpeng, who contacted me, told me that as long as he didn’t lie, then what I said would be correct. I am very ashamed. You saved my son twice, but I caused your parents to have a car accident and faint in the car to be burned alive. Don’t worry, I will definitely give you an explanation.”

Yang Zhen: “How will you explain?”

Huang Ming: “Don’t worry, I will definitely give you an explanation. Let’s talk about it here today, goodbye.”

Yang Chen threw the phone aside, feeling a little dazed.

He really couldn’t understand how his parents could have grudges with Tang Qing and others.

Yang Chen’s family ran a company, but the company’s main business scope was only the trade of food and alcohol.

How could they have anything to do with the Tang family, who traded in antique art?

The more Yang Chen thought about it, the more confused he became. What exactly did his parents do to bring about such a disaster?

However, since Huang Ming had confessed, he had to ask him clearly in person.

Yang Chen got up early in the morning, preparing to go find Huang Ming.

But just as he was about to brush his teeth, Huang Yu called.

“Hello, Mr. Yang, my dad jumped off the building and committed suicide. He left you a key and a wooden box. Please come and get them,” Huang Yu said sadly.

Jumped off the building and committed suicide?

Was this the explanation Huang Ming was talking about?

Yang Chen had saved Huang Yu twice, and Huang Ming really felt guilty, so he thought of atoning for his sins with death.

Huang Ming deserved to die, but Yang Chen still wanted to find Chen Junpeng through him.

It was a bit of a waste that he committed suicide like this.

“He was fine yesterday, how did he suddenly commit suicide?” Yang Chen asked.

Huang Yu: “I don’t know. He only left you things. You should come and take a look. I hope you can let me see what’s inside later. Why did my dad leave things for you instead of me?”

Yang Chen didn’t even have time to brush his teeth or wash his face, so he immediately put on his clothes and rushed to the hospital.

Huang Ming said he would give Yang Chen an explanation last night, and then he jumped off the building and committed suicide.

The things he left behind must be related to the car accident back then.
