Chapter 229
As he spoke, the man was not only panicked and terrified, but his expression was also twisted with a hint of menace. He looked as if he would fly into a humiliated rage if Chenyang didn’t rescue him first.
Chenyang could understand his panic.
After all, the aftershocks of the car crash had not yet dissipated.
Having just lived through such a terrifying event, the man was understandably shaken. He was like a spooked animal, fearing disaster would strike again.
However, Chenyang found his words—"Never mind her, she’s going to die anyway"—very hard to stomach.
The man had only injured his foot, and his current position was, for the moment, safe.
The girl, on the other hand, was not only severely injured, but her limbs were also in constant danger of being crushed or further harmed.
In this situation, any decent person would know to prioritize the girl.
Yet this man hadn’t spared the girl a single glance, consumed only by his own safety.
Such selfish behavior was utterly despicable.
Under normal circumstances, Chenyang would have certainly given him a piece of his mind.
But there was no time to argue now. Suppressing his displeasure, he said, "The van is wedged in tight. It’s not going to fall anytime soon, so you’re safe for now."
"Safe my ass! Can’t you hear all the CREAKING sounds around us? If this thing really comes down, I’ll be crushed to death!"
"That creaking is from the other vehicles, not this one. And you’re currently..."
"Shut up! I told you to save me first, didn’t you hear me?"
"You’re safe right now. The girl over there is not. I have to save her first."
The man’s face twisted into a crazed snarl as he roared, "She’s already fucking dying! What’s the point in saving her?!"
Chenyang shot back angrily, "You haven’t even looked at her. How would you know she’s dying?"
"She just gave me her last words! How could she not be dying?!"
"Her last words? You two know each other?"
"Of course! I’m her boyfriend."
Hearing this, Chenyang suddenly laughed.
It was a laugh born from pure rage.
"You’re her boyfriend, you know you’re not in any immediate danger, and instead of trying to save your girlfriend, you only care about yourself?"
"Whether I look out for myself or not is none of your damn business!"
"You’re right, it isn’t my business."
"Since it’s none of your business, then get the fuck over here and save me!"
"No."
Chenyang shook his head, then got down and started crawling slowly toward the injured girl.
Seeing this, the man grew even more furious.
He screamed at the top of his lungs, "You’re a rescuer! Why won’t you save me?! I’m about to die! Are you just going to watch me die?"
Chenyang sneered, "Whether you live or die is none of my damn business!"
"You..." The man froze for a second, then roared, "What rescue team are you with? Which hospital? If you don’t save me now, believe me, when I get out of here, I’ll file a complaint and report you!"
"Go ahead. Report me to whoever you want."
The man’s face flushed red, choked by Chenyang’s words. He gritted his teeth and yelled, "Are you only saving her first because she’s a pretty woman?"
Chenyang ignored the man. He painstakingly maneuvered around the frame of a motorcycle and reached the girl’s side, checking her pulse to assess her condition.
The man continued his tirade. "Get over here and save me! When we get out, I’ll get you two... no, several women even prettier than her!"
"Idiot," Chenyang snorted.
"Who the fuck are you calling an idiot?! Do you have any idea who I am? Believe it or not, I can say one word to your boss when I get out of here and have you fired in minutes!"
When Chenyang didn’t respond, the man became even more enraged.
However, just as he was about to continue his threats, Angie suddenly squeezed in from outside.
Seeing another person, the man’s face lit up. "Hey, miss! Quick, save me!"
"Okay, please just wait a moment."
Angie glanced at him, then turned to Chenyang. "Director Liu is with a patient who had a sudden heart attack after getting injured. They’re comatose and unresponsive. She’s tried several things, but nothing is working. She sent me to ask if you have any other ideas."
Chenyang thought for a moment. "I do, but I can’t leave my post here. This girl’s condition is also critical. She needs to be moved out for emergency treatment immediately."
"Then what should we do?"
"I’ll video call Sister Liu and walk her through it. And Sister Angie, you can help me by getting some disinfectant, gauze, and other supplies."
"I’ve already brought them."
"Perfect. You can be my hands. Let’s give this young woman some first aid."
"Okay."
Seeing Angie also move toward Chenyang, the hopeful smile that had just appeared on the man’s face was instantly consumed by raw fury.
"Hey! Hey! Why aren’t you saving me?!"
