Chapter 35 Unexpected Situation, Saving the Old Man
The driver successfully drove the car to the coast and arrived at the parking lot.
The sky was not yet completely dark; at the horizon, the warm yellow sunset cast a soft, dreamlike glow.
The seawater crashed against the rocks and sand, and a huge cruise ship came into view. It was luxuriously decorated and had an outrageously large deck. Even from this distance, you could see that it was equipped with comfortable deck chairs, elegant round dining tables, and a series of high-end audio equipment.
Occasionally, someone would pass by; they were the cruise ship's high-class waiters, each one handsome and good-looking, with a straight back and a polite smile.
The parking lot was filled with luxury cars, handsome men and beautiful women, and high-ranking officials and dignitaries, a dazzling sight.
Chen Xuezong and Ning Yao got out of the car one after the other and were about to leave the parking lot and walk towards the cruise ship when they heard a thud behind them, as if someone had fallen.
Not only Ning Yao turned around to look, but also a group of banquet guests who were about to get off the car saw this scene.
Not far away, an old man lay slumped on the ground, his face pale, as if he had suddenly fallen ill.
The driver, who ran out of the car, panicked and squatted down next to the elderly man, anxiously making phone calls as if he were asking for help.
The old man was impeccably dressed in a suit, and even with his white hair and lying weakly on the ground, he couldn't hide the solemn aura of someone who had been through many business ventures.
Those who were able to attend this banquet were mostly people of some status in the capital city, either wealthy or noble.
Of course, socialites would accompany the men to events, and some would even be their mistresses. The rich young men would play around and have fun. This is the chaotic and often seen upper-class circle.
Ning Yao quickly stepped forward and carefully examined the old man on the ground. Just as she was about to squat down to check on him, she was sternly stopped by the driver next to her.
“He needs emergency medical attention.” Ning Yao’s voice was both serious and cold.
The driver sized up Ning Yao, who had an ordinary appearance, and didn't recognize which powerful family she came from. He dared not let someone of unknown origin get close to Old Master Wen, so he blocked her even more fiercely, not letting Ning Yao get close at all.
This woman is probably just a socialite who appears alongside rich young men. She's greedy for quick success and instant benefits, vain, and doesn't miss any opportunity to curry favor with the powerful. He can't let this kind of woman get close to his old man.
"Please have some self-respect, miss, and don't go any further!" The driver raised his hand to push Ning Yao, but Ning Yao dodged his touch, her expression calm.
Seeing that the old man's eyes had rolled back, Ning Yao gave Chen Xuezong a look. Chen Xuezong understood and stepped forward to restrain the driver, while Ning Yao took the opportunity to rush to the old man and begin first aid.
"What are you doing? If you do anything else, I'll call the police!" The driver was being held by Chen Xuezong, so it was difficult for him to even move, let alone take out his phone to call the police.
He hadn't expected the woman to have brought help; the man was quite strong and managed to subdue him, who was over 1.8 meters tall, so he couldn't move.
The onlookers gathered together, whispering and speculating about Ning Yao's intentions. They assumed she was so desperate to curry favor with the important man because of his distinguished attire that she had kidnapped his driver and was determined to rescue him.
She's not a professional medical worker; what if she makes an inappropriate treatment and worsens the old man's condition?
Doesn't she even consider whether she can afford to take on this responsibility?
There was a lot of noise around me, including the driver shouting and people talking.
Ning Yao ignored him. She pinched the old man's chin and carefully examined his condition. After looking at his face for a while, Ning Yao took his pulse to be on the safe side.
She taught herself these basic medical treatment methods so that if her child had any sudden illness, she could handle it as quickly and effectively as possible and not miss the best time for treatment.
After confirming that the old man had suffered a sudden myocardial infarction, she turned to the side to block everyone's view and placed her soft palm on the old man's heart, pretending to perform CPR on him.
In fact, she slightly borrowed the power of the spatial spring to slowly clear the blockage in the old man's blood vessels.
The process of opening the blood vessels was very slow. Time passed second by second, and the old man on the ground still showed no signs of improvement. His expression was even more painful, and his brows were tightly furrowed.
Those watching the commotion couldn't help but feel tense, worried that they might witness a murder scene.
To go out to a dinner party and then encounter the unlucky event of a dead person—who could feel at ease?
Chen Xuezong kept pressing down on the driver, his expression quite complicated. He was also worried that if Ning Yao didn't handle things well, she would inevitably get into a lot of trouble.
Seeing that Chen Xuezong was distracted, the driver suddenly elbowed Chen Xuezong in the chest, causing Chen Xuezong to release his grip on the spot. After breaking free, the driver ran to the old man's side and pushed Ning Yao away.
"What nonsense are you spouting, woman? How dare you touch our old man's body like that? If anything happens, you could die a hundred or a thousand times and still not atone for your sins!"
The driver hurled a string of unpleasant insults, but Ning Yao didn't utter a single word. She calmly stood up and walked to Chen Xuezong's side.
"Are you alright?" She saw the driver bump into his chest with considerable force and was worried that Chen Xuezong was uncomfortable.
Chen Xuezong felt a warmth in his heart and immediately shook his head to indicate that he was fine and to reassure Ning Yao.
The driver was about to say something when he saw the old man open his eyes in a daze, clearly having regained his energy.
The driver stood there, stunned, suddenly at a loss for words.
This unassuming stranger actually cured the old man?
"What's going on?" the old man asked in a deep voice, glancing at his driver. His voice was calm and composed, exuding authority without anger.
The driver dared not lie, and immediately recounted in detail how Ning Yao had approached the old man and secretly treated him.
He knew his own body well, and he knew perfectly well whether Ning Yao had helped him or harmed him. After a moment's thought, he stood up with the help of the driver, nodded to Ning Yao, and sincerely thanked her.
"Little girl, thank you for saving me. I won't treat you badly. What's your name?"
"I'm glad you're alright. It was nothing at all." Ning Yao smiled and nodded in return, not expecting anything in return from the old man.
She simply didn't want to stand by and watch someone die. Even if the person lying on the ground was an insignificant, disheveled homeless man or an old beggar, she would still do everything in her power to save them.
Every life is equal; the lives of the rich are not necessarily more precious.
After Ning Yao finished speaking, she and Chen Xuezong headed towards the cruise ship, their figures graceful and elegant.
The young masters and ladies watching the commotion sighed in disbelief. They never imagined there could be such a fool in the world, saving lives without asking for anything in return, wasting so much effort.
The old man, however, gave Ning Yao an appreciative look as she left. He smiled and thought the girl's temperament suited him quite well.
Having just recovered, the old man was still a bit weak. He turned around and sat in his car for a while until his private doctor arrived. After the doctor examined him and confirmed that there was nothing wrong with him, the old man got out of the car and slowly walked towards the cruise ship.
