“Jiang City News Station, reporting! A black Bentley was hit by something unconfirmed as of yet on Wangxi Road today, causing the car to fall off a cliff…

“According to reports, the Bentley with car plate Jiang AXX88, is owned by Mr. Jing Jihan, the president of Yujing Corporation. The corporation has already dispatched all personnel to search for the vehicle and the whereabouts of their president. At present, Mr. Jing’s life or death is still unknown—”

…

“Mommy, why isn’t this uncle awake?” The four-year-old Shi Mianmian stood in front of the bed with a curious expression.

“How would I know? You just had to bring a bleeding person to our home. He might die in two days, just like the rabbit you rescued last time.”

Shi Su took an electronic thermometer and stuck it on the person’s forehead. She then raised the thermometer before glancing at the prancing little girl. “Why are you so anxious? Can you even recognize the number?”

The girl raised her head in protest. “I’m already four years old! I can count to a hundred!”

She showed her daughter the thermometer with an amused expression.

“Mommy, does it say thirty-nine in front?”

“Thirty-nine degrees.” Shi Su glanced at the half-dead man on the bed again. “With such an injury and a high fever to boot, he’s still refusing to go to a hospital. If he really dies, I’ll have to spend the holiday with you at the police station.”

“Mommy…” The little girl hugged her leg as she whined softly. “Save him, please…”

“This is a living person; how can I save him? At the age of two and a half, you picked up a stray cat which was dying of illness, and just two and a half days ago, you brought back a small, wounded animal for me to cure. This time, you’ve outdone really yourself—you brought back a dying person! Do you know how much trouble you have put us in?”

Shi Mianmian turned her head and squatted by the bed, blinking innocently at her mother. She put her small hand on the injured man’s hand.

It was just like when she brought those little animals back to her room; she was afraid that her mommy would throw this person away.

Shi Su rubbed her throbbing head.

She had to blame herself for not being awake at that time, but even if she had, it would still be impossible to bring home a person of such unknown origin.

Two days ago, her daughter’s kindergarten had a summer camp. She had encountered an unexpected situation when she was about to pick up the child that night and had drunk a few glasses of wine. Hence, she called a driver to send her to the place and was a little late.

Shi Mianmian suddenly said that she wanted to visit the toilet because she had waited too long for her. The summer camp site was held in the wild just under a cliff, and there was no bathroom there, so Shi Su had taken her daughter to a nearby grass patch.

There was a person lying in the grass.

A man covered in blood, unclear whether alive or dead.

A few tens of meters away was a winding road with a steep cliff. She reckoned that the man had likely fallen off that precipice to his death and was about to cover her daughter’s eyes and leave.

Right when she turned to leave, a pair of cold, bloody hands suddenly tightened around her ankle. Shi Su had goosebumps at that moment as she stood rooted to the spot.

“Don’t go.” A low, dull male voice sounded just behind her.

She could only blame herself for having drunk a few cups and not being sober enough. Shi Mianmian, who was too young and had saved a lot of animals before, could not quite understand the situation. Not only was she not scared, she even begged her to save the stranger. With a sudden rush of heat, she dragged the person out of the grass…

The driver had gotten out of the car to smoke, and as it was dark, he did not pay attention to how many people were inside the vehicle.

When Shi Su woke up the next morning and saw the dying man at home, she was so shocked that her soul almost flew away!

She seemed to have taken care of the blood on the previously bleeding man and have even changed his clothes. How did she manage to do all that while drunk?
