1538: Chapter 739 Send Off the Inkstone Platform 1538: Chapter 739 Send Off the Inkstone Platform Yan Fei simply returned ho once to reassure his wife and went back to the city shortly after.
As soon as he arrived at the hospital, he saw Director Niu pacing outside the ward.
Yan Fei was surprised: “You haven’t gone back to rest?”
Director Niu was really anxious: “Boss Yan, can you please clarify who exactly these people are?
I just heard that young man surnad ng on the phone, it seems like their family is almost here, and they even have a car ready to transfer them to the Capital.
Can you just tell who they all are?”
Yan Fei laughed: “Originally, I didn’t want to say anything to avoid worrying you, look how anxious you are!
It’s not a big deal, they are just the nephews of Assistant ng who ca last ti to inspect our local cattle operation.
Rest assured, it’s not an unreasonable matter; no one else is to bla either.”
“That sounds too simple…” Director Niu was also too anxious and after thinking for a mont, he stamped his foot and hurried off to report.
That’s how things are around here; sotis you could secretly disobey orders from above, but ordinarily, you really don’t want to offend any big shots from above.
In case you leave a bad impression on them, it could complicate things greatly when the city files for any projects in the future, requiring much more effort.
Thus, from last night, when Director Niu saw the license plate, he had been worried sick, and Yan Fei, fearing that he’d worry, only ntioned that they were friends who ca for a visit.
But Director Niu wasn’t foolish, from bits and pieces of conversation, he sensed sothing was off, and was especially alard after hearing the phone call earlier.
Nowadays, transportation conditions aren’t great, and moving to the Capital right after getting injured suggests that the family is no ordinary one.
After dealing with Director Niu, Yan Fei then went in to visit ng Si’an.
Upon seeing Yan Fei, ng Si’an was so grateful he didn’t even know what to say: “Boss Yan, thank you so much!
It’s all our fault for not being careful, driving at night and getting distracted…”
“As long as you are okay, everything else is minor,” Yan Fei said as he took out a small jar he was carrying.
“I went ho for a bit and had the family stew so soup.
If you can eat later, drink a little; it contains tonic dicine which will help in healing.”
“Thank you so much, Boss Yan, for going through the trouble!” ng Si’an kept thanking him.
“If it weren’t for your tily arrival, things could have been unimaginable!”
“It was no big deal, you guys were lucky, I was nearby at the ti and got here quickly on a motorcycle,” Yan Fei didn’t want to dwell much on this matter.
“Your family should be arriving soon, right?”
“They should be here in a little while!” ng Si’an said with an embarrassed smile.
“The family has also arranged for a vehicle, and once Xiao Feng is also out of danger, we will head back…
Oh, and Boss Yan, I have another favor to ask.
That tractor driver, since it’s partially our fault too, and we are lucky to be alive, we won’t hold him accountable anymore.
Could you let your local people know?”
“Brother ng is really reasonable!” Boss Yan gave him a thumbs up, chuckling.
“For your decency, from now on, every ti soone cos to haul the wine, I’ll send a couple more jars to you personally.
It’s the kind that strengthens the young folks, guaranteed to make you healthier than before once you recover.”
ng Si’an was the luckiest among them, not seriously hard.
The driver was okay too, just a few scrapes.
The unluckiest was the person in the backseat, who suffered a head bump.
The reason for the accident was clear—it was due to the tractor ahead malfunctioning.
In the countryside, most people who drive tractors, besides doing farm work, also did small jobs like hauling bricks, and they could usually handle simple issues on the tractor themselves—the man holding the flashlight was the driver, trying to fix it himself to see if it could be driven back.
But it was obvious without thinking, there wouldn’t be any warning signs on the tractor, and the driver likely didn’t have much knowledge of road safety, just leaving the broken-down vehicle on the dark road.
At the mont of fixing, the small flashlight he used was focused on the front of the vehicle, which didn’t serve any warning function.
The people in ng Si’an’s vehicle were chatting at the ti, and got distracted which led to the collision.
Fortunately, the speed wasn’t too high, and at the critical mont the driver instinctively twisted the steering wheel, and the car hit sideways, then lost control and eventually hit a tree on the roadside, tumbling into a ditch.
All in all, it was a close call, but if responsibility were seriously pursued, the tractor driver would definitely bear so bla.
Stopping the vehicle on the roadside at night, not parking close enough to the edge, and the vehicle bed skewed towards the middle of the road.
These days, cars are still a luxury, and ng Si’an’s vehicle was also a good one, costing three to five hundred thousand.
To be honest, even considering only a tiny bit of responsibility on the tractor driver’s part, it would be enough to ruin him— while owning a tractor might show so prosperity in the countryside, compared to this car, it’s still considered poor.
ng Si’an chose not to pursue responsibility firstly because he was reasonable and secondly, he probably knew that even if they forced the tractor driver to pay compensation, there wasn’t much hope he could co up with the money.
For that small amount of money to ruin a family didn’t suit the ng family’s values.
After all, they were a family who inherited dical practices, always valuing the doctor’s parental heart and committing to healing and saving people!
ng Si’an hardly cared about Yan Fei’s praise, but was delighted to hear about the wine offer, then secretly whispered, “Boss Yan, Brother Yan, do you think if I drink your wine and practice so Kung Fu, I could be as skilled as you?”
