The next morning, Liu Yifeng, as usual, took Tongtong to kindergarten before heading to the warehouse.
Then, the busy work continued until Wednesday, when all the pomelos were weighed and loaded onto trucks.
There were a total of 322,000 jin of pomelos, which is 70.7 million. After Michael confirmed that the goods were in perfect order, he immediately paid the full amount.
Upon receiving the money, Su Wanru instructed the finance department to transfer half of it to Liu Yifeng's account.
The money in Liu Yifeng's account was just enough to pay off the villa.
Last time, he had paid a deposit of one million yuan, with a remaining balance of 8.3 million yuan.
After paying the one million yuan deposit, he had 3.2 million yuan left. Adding the current 3.5 million yuan, it totaled 6.7 million yuan.
Deducting the seventy-odd thousand yuan for the car, it came to exactly six million.
Then, there was the income from selling crayfish, watermelons, and vegetables during this period. He roughly calculated that it was just enough to buy the villa.
Just as he was preparing to go and pay the remaining balance the day after sending Tongtong to kindergarten, and that day was the last day.
If the fee wasn't paid tomorrow, the one million yuan deposit would be forfeited.
After all, they couldn't hold onto the house for him forever just because he paid a deposit of one million yuan.
At this moment, Fu Wenhui at the sales office was constantly being taunted by Ge Qing, who said that Liu Yifeng hadn't come in so long and would definitely not buy the house, and that she should stop waiting at the door every day.
Fu Wenhui didn't believe it; she was confident that Liu Yifeng would come.
After all, he wouldn't just throw away a million yuan deposit.
Moreover, she didn't think Liu Yifeng was the type of person to pretend to be rich. Since he dared to pay the deposit, it meant he had the ability.
However, just as Liu Yifeng was preparing to pay the remaining balance, an accident occurred.
A small truck was heading directly towards him. It was unclear if it had lost control, as it showed no signs of slowing down.
Seeing this, Liu Yifeng could only abruptly swerve his steering wheel.
But under the immense inertia, Liu Yifeng's car directly crashed into the green belt on the side, and the front of his newly bought car was completely caved in.
Liu Yifeng, sitting in the driver's seat, was terrified and dazed.
The truck also overturned, crushing another white sedan underneath it. The condition of the people inside the sedan was unknown.
Many car owners, seeing this, got out of their cars and helped lift the truck, trying to rescue the people inside the sedan.
They had completely forgotten about Liu Yifeng, who had crashed into the green belt while trying to avoid the truck.
At this time, the traffic police directing traffic at the intersection also rushed over to manage the flow and called 110, 119, and 120.
Liu Yifeng sat in his seat for a while, his mind still hazy.
It wasn't until a traffic police officer knocked on his car window that Liu Yifeng snapped back to reality.
"Are you okay?" the police officer first asked with concern.
Liu Yifeng shook his head: "I'm fine!"
"That's good. Please turn off your engine and show me your ID and driver's license."
Liu Yifeng immediately handed over his ID and driver's license to the police officer, who made a note in his book and returned them.
"What exactly happened? Get out of the car, and let's talk about the process."
Liu Yifeng then turned off the engine, got out of the car, and recounted the details of the accident.
"Officer, I was driving normally in my lane when suddenly that large truck lost control and sped towards me. The situation was very critical at the time, and I had no choice but to swerve sharply. Otherwise, I would have been crushed by the truck.
You can't assign the accident responsibility to me!" As he said this, Liu Yifeng's emotions became a little agitated.
"Please don't worry, we will investigate the main cause of the accident. If it wasn't your fault, we won't penalize you in any way," the police officer reassured him.
Liu Yifeng calmed down. He then noticed that many people were lifting the truck, doing their best, but the truck body remained still.
The truck driver stood by with a bloody head, also appearing stunned.
He couldn't answer anything the police officer asked him.
Liu Yifeng didn't think much and ran over to help.
The sedan was almost crushed. Every minute delayed meant one more minute of danger for the people inside.
It wasn't clear if it was because of him, but with his addition, the truck's body was lifted.
He was somewhat shocked; had he taken some stimulant to have such great strength?
But he quickly thought of the heart protection pills Tongtong had given him, and figured it was related to that.
However, no one noticed this, and they just assumed it was due to collective strength.
After the truck was lifted, the police officers busied themselves opening the door to rescue people.
But the door was severely deformed, and no matter how hard they tried, they couldn't open it.
Through the car window, they saw that there were two people inside, one in the passenger seat and the other in the driver's seat.
Both were covered in blood and unconscious.
The driver's hand was broken and bleeding profusely.
It was a gruesome sight.
Helpless, the police officers had to smash the window to rescue them, trying to reach inside and open the door.
But the door still wouldn't open, and the people couldn't be rescued through the window.
Fortunately, firefighters arrived and used special tools to finally open the car door.
But opening the door didn't mean the injured could be rescued. Their feet were trapped inside due to the severe deformation of the car front, and pulling them out forcefully would cause secondary injuries.
This exhausted the people who were lifting the truck. Liu Yifeng, as a key contributor, was also extremely tired.
He felt like his hands were bleeding, but he didn't let go, as it was a matter of life and death.
At this time, an ambulance also arrived, but without rescuing the people, they couldn't start treatment, so they could only wait.
Fortunately, the firefighters were professionals. With their efforts, they finally created enough space for the injured people's legs, and then rescued both of them.
The people lifting the truck released their grip without a second's delay, and the truck body slammed back onto the sedan.
Immediately, everyone's gaze turned to the two patients on the stretchers.
No one could bear to look; the scene was too tragic.
Especially Liu Yifeng, he couldn't imagine that if he hadn't swerved just now, he might have been the one lying on the stretcher.
The scene of them lifting the truck to save people was also recorded and posted online.
Especially Liu Yifeng, as a victim of the accident, not only did he not harbor any resentment but he also stepped forward to help, earning him the title of a common hero from many netizens.
However, Liu Yifeng didn't care about these things. He spent the entire morning cooperating with the police to handle the accident.
Fortunately, after a thorough investigation by the police, combined with surveillance footage, witness testimonies, and physical evidence.
It was confirmed that Liu Yifeng bore no responsibility for the accident, and the truck driver was solely responsible.
While they were investigating, the two people rushed to the hospital for treatment. The driver died, and although the passenger survived, he remained in a coma.
As for how the truck driver would be sentenced, it was still unknown and would require a court trial.
However, this accident gave Liu Yifeng a sense of rebirth.
He never imagined he would be so close to death. If he hadn't reacted quickly, he would probably be having tea with the King of Hell right now.
Now he finally understood why Tongtong had reminded him to drive carefully after getting out of the car.
It was likely that Tongtong had foreseen this accident but couldn't reveal too much, so she had only given a casual reminder.
At the time, he hadn't paid much attention, thinking it was just Tongtong's subconscious concern.
