Chapter 451 A Car Accident Occurred
Old Master Bai continued, "Mr. Chen, why bother buying a house? I have plenty of properties under my name. If needed, I can have someone accompany you to take a look. Whichever villa you fancy, feel free to take it."
Chen Xuan forced a smile and said, "Master Bai, you've misunderstood. I didn't mean it like that. I simply need your help to buy a villa, as it's inconvenient for me to handle it personally."
Old Master Bai blinked, not revealing his thoughts. He knew men cared about their pride. "Which villa has caught Mr. Chen's eye? Just say the word, and I'll have someone go take a look right away."
"Phoenix Gardens, number 108!"
Chen Xuan glanced at the house number.
"You mean the villa belonging to the Yu family?" Old Master Bai frowned.
"Master Bai, you know this villa?"
Chen Xuan was surprised that Old Master Bai had guessed the villa's origin so quickly, given he'd only provided an address.
Old Master Bai's expression turned serious. He suspected he had misjudged Chen Xuan. After all, who would find a haunted villa to keep a mistress in?
"Mr. Chen, why are you interested in that villa?" Old Master Bai asked in return.
"Nothing, it just looks quite nice," Chen Xuan replied with a smile. "Master Bai, what's wrong with that villa? It looks perfectly fine to me."
Old Master Bai explained, "Then I'll be honest with you. This villa is said to be haunted and has feng shui issues. Ever since the Yu family suddenly went bankrupt, this villa has been sold three or four times. Two families who bought it went bankrupt immediately. The third family bought it, and then a major municipal project was scrapped, almost leading to their bankruptcy. He got smart and hired a feng shui master to examine the villa, but the master couldn't find anything wrong, even claiming it was a treasure trove of feng shui. The owner thought the villa was even more sinister and moved out the next day. Later, for some reason, the villa returned to Yu Tao's possession."
"So sinister?" Chen Xuan frowned.
"I heard it's also haunted at night, Mr. Chen. I advise you not to buy that villa," Old Master Bai warned.
"Haunted? That's great!" Chen Xuan's eyes lit up. If the villa was haunted and had bad feng shui, it would be even harder to sell, increasing his chances of acquiring it. As a feng shui master, he feared no ghosts.
"Haunted? That's good?" Old Master Bai was stunned.
Chen Xuan interrupted Old Master Bai's thoughts. "Master Bai, you just need to help me buy it. I might not live there. It just looks quite good, and I want to collect it."
"Alright, I'll find someone to take a look later." Seeing that Chen Xuan wasn't listening to his advice, Old Master Bai agreed.
After hanging up, Chen Xuan drove towards the Su family's residence. Soon, Chen Xuan arrived at a traffic light and stopped to wait. Just then, a wail was heard.
"Everyone, come quickly! This woman hit my mother and refuses to take responsibility, claiming we're trying to scam her!"
"Can anyone save my mother? I'll be your servant for life!"
Chen Xuan turned his head and saw a crowd gathered not far away. A young man, looking desperate and anxious, was pointing at a woman wearing sunglasses, a mask, and a red down jacket. On the ground lay an elderly woman, covered in blood, her aged face contorted in pain.
Upon seeing this, Chen Xuan didn't jump to conclusions. In modern society, those lying on the ground weren't always to be pitied, and those standing weren't always at fault. However, as his gaze fell upon the old woman, his pupils contracted. He could tell at a glance that the elderly woman was on the verge of shock due to severe blood loss and had other injuries. Her condition was critical. It was clear that this mother and son were not scammers.
As the old woman was losing her life due to blood loss, and adhering to the principle of "the benevolent doctor," Chen Xuan parked his car on the side and rushed over with his silver needles. At this moment, the woman in the red down jacket, standing not far away, put her hands on her hips and glared at the young man. "What are you wailing about? Your mother and son are dressed so shabbily; it's obvious you're trying to scam me. I'm telling you, I have an important endorsement contract to discuss today. If you delay me, I'll sue you until you're penniless."
"You..." The young man trembled with anger. Looking at his mother's increasingly pale face on the ground, he felt despair and desperately appealed to the passersby, "Please, save my mother! I'll kneel for you!"
*Thud!* The young man knelt on the ground, kowtowing to the passersby.
The woman in the red down jacket snorted and continued to pester, "Stop pretending and get lost! If you don't leave, I'll have the police arrest you! See my car? It's a Ferrari. You damaged it, so you owe me at least a million!"
The surrounding people didn't know whose side to take. At this moment, Chen Xuan ran over, "Excuse me, excuse me, I'm a doctor!" The surrounding passersby made way for Chen Xuan.
"Brother, you're a doctor? That's great! Please save my mother." The young man grabbed Chen Xuan's arm as if he had found a lifesaver.
Chen Xuan took the old woman's pulse and examined her wounds. Several of her ribs were broken, and there was severe bleeding from her thigh and abdomen. He quickly took out silver needles to stop the bleeding. Soon, the bleeding was temporarily controlled! He deliberately spoke loudly, "The patient has severe bleeding from the major arteries in her leg and abdomen, and three broken ribs. If rushed to the hospital for emergency treatment, her life could be in danger."
The woman in the red down jacket's face changed upon hearing this. She knew she had likely hit someone. When Chen Xuan was examining the old woman, the surrounding onlookers could see that the old woman had indeed been hit and was not trying to scam anyone. After all, few people would risk their lives for a scam.
"How can this woman be like this? She hit someone but won't admit it!"
"Why aren't they taking her to the hospital quickly!"
"No, we must report this to the authorities!"
The surrounding onlookers began to criticize the woman in the red down jacket. Some called the police, and others called for an ambulance. Hearing the accusations, the woman in the red down jacket glared venomously at Chen Xuan, "Kid, why are you minding my business? So what if I hit and killed her? I have plenty of money! Get lost!" In her opinion, if Chen Xuan hadn't interfered, so many people wouldn't be criticizing her. She didn't even consider that she was the one who had caused the accident.
Chen Xuan frowned. It was clear that this woman had realized it wasn't a scam, yet she remained unrepentant and even cursed him. What kind of character was this woman? Someone nearby, angered, said, "We've already reported to the police; officers will be here soon!"
The woman in the red down jacket sneered dismissively, "Let me tell you, even if the police come, so what? I know Yu Wei, a police officer in Jiangzhou. Believe it or not, I'll have him arrest all of you!"
"Yu Wei? He's the boss of the East Lake District Police Station!" Everyone's eyes widened with fear! Their location happened to be in the East Lake District.
"Scared now?" Seeing everyone's reaction, the woman in the red down jacket was quite pleased. She crossed her arms and looked at Chen Xuan mockingly.
Chen Xuan frowned. This woman was too lawless. However, the young man looked at Chen Xuan worriedly, "Doctor, you saved my mother. This has nothing to do with you. You should leave quickly. You're a good person, and we can't implicate you!" If it were an ordinary person, they would have been scared into silence, but this young man was still considerate of Chen Xuan's well-being.
Chen Xuan, however, was unfazed. "It's fine, I want to see how he'll arrest me."
"Still so arrogant?"
"When Yu Wei arrives, I'll make you pay!" The woman in the red down jacket let out a cold laugh.
"The police are here, the police are here!" Just then, a police car stopped nearby. Several officers jumped out of the car and rushed over.
