Luckily, his phone had no lock screen password, and a passerby easily unlocked it.
Discovering that his last call was to Chen Dongyang, after calling 120, he then called Chen Dongyang again.
Upon hearing that he had been in a serious car accident at the train station, Chen Dongyang rushed to the hospital.
The situation was more severe than he had imagined.
As soon as he arrived at the hospital, the doctor asked Chen Dongyang to sign a critical illness notice.
"The injury is very severe, with three fractured ribs on the left chest, a comminuted fracture of the left shoulder, severe concussion and blood loss in the head. He is now in a deep coma. We don't yet know if there is any internal organ damage. There is a high possibility he won't survive the rescue. Please sign the form quickly, pay the money, and we will proceed with the surgery."
Chen Dongyang signed the form without hesitation.
He immediately thought of who was responsible, called people, went to the law firm, went to his home, and to every place he might have fled to, and apprehended that scoundrel.
After arranging these matters, he hesitated and then thought of Zhan Jingchun.
Should he tell her?
If he didn't, and Peng Fei truly didn't survive, Zhan Jingchun might blame him later if she found out.
But if he did, he was afraid it would disturb her again.
Chen Dongyang was conflicted. After much thought, he decided to seek his wife's opinion.
It was New Year's Eve, and it wasn't good to leave the little one to celebrate alone, so Tiantian invited her back to be with Daddy and Mommy.
Zhan Jingchun, fearing everyone would worry if she spent New Year's alone, returned despite not wanting the fuss.
At that moment, everyone was making dumplings together.
Upon receiving the call, Tiantian's face immediately fell.
"Daddy, Mommy, Chun Chun, Peng Fei seems to have been retaliated against by Nannan's father. He had a car accident and is now in the hospital."
The family went to the hospital with extremely serious expressions.
Peng Fei was still in surgery. After Chen Dongyang explained the general situation, Zhan Jingchun hadn't even had time to worry when a nurse ran out with another notice.
"Sign another one. The impact force was too great, his spleen ruptured and requires emergency repair. The situation is very dangerous, please sign this as well."
At this moment, Chun Chun was the most qualified to sign this form. Chen Dongyang handed it to her.
Zhan Jingchun's hand trembled, unable to hold the form. Reading the terrifying words, her entire being trembled.
How could it be so serious, so serious, so serious?
He had only been away from her for three or four hours, and in the blink of an eye, he was going to die?
Seeing how anxious she was, Tiantian snatched the form back.
"I'll sign it. At this point, who is qualified doesn't matter, just save him quickly!"
The nurse hurried back, and everyone helped Zhan Jingchun to sit down. It took her a long time to calm down.
But she was still so worried, her whole body trembling uncontrollably.
She had never imagined that death would come so close to her, happening to someone she cared about so much.
They had only just planned to separate.
This feeling was truly unbearable, as if her heart had been ripped out, and a cold wind blew into the void. She could barely catch her breath.
"Sister, do you think he'll really die?"
After all, Tiantian didn't have much of an emotional connection with Peng Fei and was relatively calm.
"Since the doctor said so, there's definitely that possibility. You'd better be mentally prepared."
Zhan Jingchun's heart grew colder.
Seeing his daughter trembling uncontrollably, Zhan Beijue sat down and pulled her into his arms.
"Don't be afraid. With Daddy and Mommy here, nothing will happen. We'll try our best to save him. Be calm, my dear."
Her father's embrace was so steady and warm. Zhan Jingchun finally felt a bit better.
Everyone fell silent, watching her, waiting for the surgery.
After a long silence, Zhan Jingchun suddenly struggled out of her father's embrace.
"If he can't be saved, we need to notify his family. He's the only male heir in his family for three generations. If he dies so obscurely, his mother probably won't be able to live either."
However, no one knew his family's phone number. Peng Fei's phone had been smashed to pieces at the accident scene, and it went black after making the call.
Fortunately, Chen Dongyang had had some contact with his agent, and they found the agent.
Upon hearing about Peng Fei's car accident, the agent practically scrambled over.
When he arrived at the scene and learned how serious the situation was and that he could die at any moment, he collapsed onto the ground.
"How could this happen? He's still so young. Such a good child. How could this happen?"
No one knew how good Peng Fei truly was, as they hadn't interacted with him for a year.
The agent leaned back in his chair and slowly recounted Peng Fei's good qualities.
"He was too foolish, his life was too bitter. If he leaves like this, it's too unfair of fate."
"Because of the wrong he did to you in the past, he carried a psychological burden every day. You don't know how harsh he was on himself. He wished he could do everything that would alleviate his guilt."
"He regularly donated blood, can you believe it? Even with his packed schedule this year, he could always remember to donate blood. If I tried to stop him, he'd threaten to strike."
"Once, while donating blood, he heard the medical staff say that he could become an organ donor, that his donated organs could help many, many people, so he signed up for organ donation."
"I even mocked him then, saying, 'By the time you're old and frail, your organs will be worn out, who will you donate them to?' I didn't expect they would be needed so soon..."
"When he was working, all his food and drinks were provided by the brands. Can you believe it, he earned tens of millions this year, and he didn't spend a single cent of it, not a single cent."
"He didn't buy clothes, didn't buy food, didn't buy luxury goods. All the money he earned was invested back into his hometown."
"He always said he felt sorry for his wife and wanted to be a good person to lessen his sins. But in reality, what sin did he truly commit?"
"That was just the local custom. He was just going with the flow. There are many people worse than him. And even if we don't do evil, how much more upright are we than him?"
"Mr. Zhan, you don't know how angry I was when he uploaded the video behind my back. Our work was scheduled until the second half of next year, over a dozen brand endorsements. If you hadn't helped, the liquidated damages alone would have been enough for him to pay off for generations."
"But even knowing that, he still posted the video. He didn't want to shirk responsibility. Such a fool, a fool who never put his own feelings first, was he really born into this world just to suffer?"
"He suffered his punishment, repaid his debts, and now he's gone so confusedly. What a tragedy..."
No one knew about this sad side to Peng Fei, who seemed oblivious, uneducated, and shamelessly persistent.
It turned out he truly realized his mistakes and carried such a heavy burden, constantly thinking of atonement.
Zhan Jingchun had managed to hold back her tears, but after hearing so much from the agent, she couldn't hold back any longer.
She could almost imagine the expression and actions on Peng Fei's face as he did those things.
Just because she said she wouldn't forgive him and called him a bad person, did he torment himself like this?
