My System Forces Me to Live off Women

Chapter 479 - 326: Car Accident, Amnesia, Incurable!

"Hello, Ms. Zhao? How are you? Did you hear what I said?"

"I heard you clearly! I’m calling his parents right now!"

This was Huang Tianxuan’s reply. Zhao Qingge was stunned upon hearing that Li Peifeng had been in a car accident. Wu Wenyue and Xu Manning were as shocked as Old Zhao—one stood there with a slightly open mouth and a blank stare, while the other mumbled to herself as if sleepwalking.

"A car accident? How is that possible? He was just out for a run; why would he get hit by a car..."

Zhao Qingge gradually snapped back to reality but was still in disbelief: "Get dressed immediately, let’s go!"

Wu Wenyue also came to her senses: "Right, we need to call Uncle and Auntie!"

"I’m already calling...Hello, Auntie? Here’s the situation..."

Huang Tianxuan picked up her phone and started dialing Yu Huizhi while getting dressed. Though she hesitated momentarily on how to begin after the call was connected, she quickly explained in brief: "Li Peifeng was in a car accident and is on his way to the county hospital."

"What?"

Yu Huizhi was shocked and confused: "Wasn’t he supposed to be at home having dinner with you? How did the accident happen?"

"He said he needed to go for a run to calm down and would talk to us afterward. And then..."

"Huh??"

Yu Huizhi let out a noise, then fell silent, followed by Li Qiyuan’s urgent voice erupting over the phone: "Alright, we’re heading to the hospital right now!!"

After Huang Tianxuan finished the call, the four girls had already gotten dressed and entered the elevator.

From the top floor to the ground floor, they usually don’t feel it slow, but now seconds felt like years.

In the cramped elevator space, the four girls felt even more suffocated.

"Ding~"

The elevator doors opened, Wu Wenyue was the first to dash out.

"Get in my car, hurry!"

The other three quickly followed, sprinting to the car. Once inside, Wu Wenyue swung the steering wheel, slammed on the gas, and the car shot forward with a roar, nearly scraping Zhao Qingge’s BMW nearby.

But at this moment, no one paid attention to the minor details. Their thoughts were mostly alike, filled with anxious concern and doubt.

How did Li Peifeng end up in a car accident? Why at this crucial moment? Not on the first, not on the second, but precisely on January 6th, just before making the decision?

"Is it possible that..."

Someone muttered, hesitated, their voice was soft, but in the quiet car, everyone heard it and understood what was left unsaid.

A moment later, Zhao Qingge, with a complex expression, whispered: "I wish the car accident were fake."

Wu Wenyue frowned and whispered: "It’s also possible that heaven has finally served justice."

"What does this situation remind you of?"

Huang Tianxuan tilted her head out the window and laughed: "It feels more like a woman’s novel, but even women’s novels don’t write such scenes anymore. A car accident? What kind of melodrama? Such a cliché drama, must be like a Korean drama from ten years ago!! Aish!"

"Don’t joke at a time like this."

Xu Manning fiddled with her fingertips, muttering: "The doctor over the phone seemed to suggest he’s fine, hopefully, he’s fine...best if he wakes up soon to announce the answer, otherwise this will delay everything!!"

"On the phone?"

Suddenly realizing something, Huang Tianxuan leaned over and patted Zhao Qingge in the passenger seat: "Did the doctor on the phone mention that Li Peifeng was in a coma due to head trauma?"

Zhao Qingge calmed down, thought back: "Yes."

"He did say that!"

"He said his head injury caused him to fall into a coma."

Wu Wenyue and Xu Manning confirmed it, Huang Tianxuan let out a sigh of realization, leaning back with a worried expression: "Whether it follows the Korean drama trope or reasoning of head trauma in a car accident, I have a feeling he..."

Zhao Qingge asked impatiently: "What are you feeling?!"

Xu Manning remembered unpleasant memories and twitched: "Do you think he might have cancer? The kind that can’t be cured?"

Seeing everyone turn their tense gaze to her, even Wu Wenyue was glancing through the rearview mirror, Huang Tianxuan hesitated a bit, then laughed silently: "Well, not cancer, but I feel he might have memory loss."

Memory loss? Is that so cliché?!!

Xu Manning was half-skeptical: "It wouldn’t be that coincidental, would it? You think this is a TV drama?"

Huang Tianxuan pondered: "Actually, memory loss due to a car accident is quite common, as a mild concussion can cause temporary memory loss. So it’s not just a coincidence, but if he really does lose his memory..."

Focused on driving, Wu Wenyue suddenly chuckled: "If he really loses his memory, it might not be a coincidence, but rather deliberate!!"

"..."

The four became silent for a while, considering multiple possibilities, Zhao Qingge spoke in a serious tone: "It all depends on seeing him in person."

From the neighborhood to the county hospital was less than three kilometers, Wu Wenyue drove quickly, arriving at the hospital door simultaneously with the ambulance within minutes.

"Is that his car?"

"Should be...Look, he’s being carried on the stretcher, quick!"

The girls had just gotten out of the car and headed toward the hospital entrance, catching sight of the ambulance that had just parked in front, its rear doors opening as two male medical staff brought out the stretcher and pushed it inside. A bespectacled male doctor accompanied them, and the person lying on the stretcher was none other than Li Peifeng.

At this moment, he had his eyes closed, seemingly unconscious. His gray sweatpants were stained with mud, his dark down jacket had a tear on the sleeve exposing white duck feathers, but the most noticeable was Li Peifeng’s head; near the temple, his forehead was wrapped in a white bandage. Not affecting his extraordinary looks, he seemed to possess a weird heroic spirit mixed with battlefield-like resilience.
