Chapter 17: Friend Verification Enabled

Zhou Tong really wanted to tell him about the young mistress’s visit last night, but seeing Lu Yunting’s impatient expression, he could only hold back for now, thinking he would tell him later when he was in a better mood.

The two cities were not far apart, and Lu Yunting arrived at the Jiangcheng Civil Affairs Bureau at 9:30 am.

He sent a WeChat message to Su Yiren，without any text, only a location pin.

But after waiting for more than ten minutes, there was no message in the chat box.

He had to send another question mark.

He waited for another few minutes, but the other party still didn’t reply.

Lu Yunting couldn’t sit still, he got out of the car with his injured arm, pacing back and forth in frustration.

It was almost 11 am, but Su Yiren still hadn’t sent any message.

With no choice, he had to call her.

But the other party’s phone was turned off!

“Damn it! Are you playing me?” Lu Yunting’s face turned white with anger, his arm ached faintly, making him even more upset.

He waited for another hour, it was almost lunchtime, but Su Yiren’s phone still didn’t turn on.

People came and went, and everyone looked at him with strange eyes, secretly guessing whether this man was here to get married or divorced, and why his other half hadn’t shown up.

Lu Yunting’s face became increasingly ugly, after waiting for two hours, the staff had gone to lunch one after another, he finally got angry!

Reopening WeChat, Lu Yunting directly sent a voice message, furious:

“Su Yiren！I came back with this injured arm after driving two hundred kilometers to get a divorce with you, but you’re playing hide-and-seek with me?! Do you want to get a divorce or not? If you miss today, you can forget about me coming to this hellhole again!”

The woman who provoked Lu Yunting’s roaring rage was lying quietly in the hospital at this moment.

Time went back to the early morning.

Su Yiren closed her eyes for a while, and then she heard a series of piercing screeching sounds and collisions!

She opened her eyes, a strong light blinded her so she quickly raised her hand to shield them.

The driver slammed the steering wheel, the car almost drifted out, heading straight for the right-side guardrail!

The violent collision made her instantly open her eyes wide!

Su Yiren clenched the door handle with both hands, as the car swayed, she almost threw up.

The car smashed through the guardrail and finally stopped, Su Yiren endured the salty nausea that surged to her throat, hurriedly opened the door and stumbled out.

She stood on the side of the road, suppressing the churning in her stomach, and after a while she looked up, everything in front of her made her pupils tremble.

A very tragic car accident.

A large truck suddenly rushed into the overtaking lane, the small truck behind it couldn’t dodge in time and hit the rear of the large truck, then was rear-ended by the cars behind it.

The car she was in swerved urgently, rushed off the road, and half of the front of the car crashed through the guardrail.

The accident only lasted for a short moment, but the entire highway became hell.

Fortunately, their car was at the back, the driver and her were fine.

But that small truck hit the back of the large truck directly, the entire front seat was gone, and the person inside was unknown.

The red taillights flickered, forming a continuous line, dazzling her and causing her head to ache.

Her ears also started to buzz, and she couldn’t hear the sounds of the scene.

Su Yiren slumped to the ground, covering her forehead, as if something she had long forgotten was desperately hitting her head.

She struggled to reach for her phone from her pocket, her trembling fingers dialed 120.

After briefly describing the situation at the scene, she dialed another number.

The phone only rang twice before it was answered, Si Hong’s voice was slightly hoarse and lazy:

“Yiren？Why are you calling so late?”

Su Yiren’s consciousness was already starting to blur, she struggled to stay conscious and said:

“Si Hong, I had a car accident, the location is…” This time, before she could finish, she fell unconscious.

Su Yiren seemed to enter a dream.

A black mass of fog, she couldn’t see her hand in front of her face.

She stood there, unable to tell which way to go, she could only walk forward mechanically, taking deep steps and shallow steps, not knowing where she would go.

Suddenly, many strange conversations came from the black fog.

“Shanshan, my name is Shanshan.”

“What kind of sports do you like?”

“Haha, I don’t like this kind of old-fashioned sport.”

“Come on, I’ll take you to see what young people like to play~”

“You’re so old-fashioned, I’ll call you uncle.”

It was her voice, but not the voice she remembered.

Su Yiren was confused, she wanted to shout, but her throat felt like it was being choked, she couldn’t make a sound.

She was anxious, but the more anxious she was, the less she could speak.

Until a familiar male voice called her repeatedly:

“Yiren？Yiren？Wake up!”

Su Yiren suddenly opened her eyes, and the first thing she saw was a white expanse.

The smell of medicine instantly filled her nostrils, her senses became clear, and her forehead started to ache faintly.

Su Yiren wanted to raise her hand to cover her head, but her wrist was pressed down.

Her eyes moved, she saw Si Hong looking at her with concern,

“How are you? Does your head hurt?”

Su Yiren opened her mouth and found she could speak.

“Si Hong… where is this?”

“Hospital,” Si Hong pressed the bed bell and called the doctor,

“You had a car accident, you have a mild concussion.”

The doctor and nurse rushed over, gave Su Yiren a comprehensive examination, and then told them:

“She’s quite stable, stay in the hospital for two more days of observation, if there’s nothing wrong, you can be discharged.”

Si Hong breathed a sigh of relief, sent the doctor away, and sat down by Su Yiren’s bed.

“I found your location based on your phone’s GPS, the ambulance arrived in time.” His usually gentle voice rarely had a hint of reproach,

“It was so late, why didn’t you call me when you went out?”

Su Yiren pursed her lips, her expression tired,

“It was too late, I didn’t want to bother you.”

Si Hong’s eyes dimmed, he sighed softly,

“Get some rest first, we’ll talk about other things later.”

Su Yiren closed her eyes, but opened them again after a few seconds, she turned her head to look out the window.

The sun’s halo was only a streak of orange, the fiery clouds were connected.

It was already evening.

“Where’s my phone?”

Si Hong handed her a phone with a cracked screen,

“When I got there, I found the phone screen was broken, it had automatically shut down.”

Su Yiren pressed the power button, but there was no response.

She had made an appointment with Lu Yunting to get a divorce today, she didn’t know if he had gone.

Thinking about how he had sarcastically mocked her yesterday with his arm in a sling, Su Yiren felt restless, she turned to Si Hong and said:

“My phone is broken, buy me a new one.”

“Okay.”

When Su Yiren got her new phone, it was already completely dark.

After installing the software, several WeChat messages and missed calls dinged in.

She opened Lu Yunting’s chat box and found only three messages.

A Jiangcheng Civil Affairs Bureau location pin, a question mark, and a 20-second voice message.

Taking advantage of the fact that no one was in the ward, Su Yiren clicked on the voice message, and was startled by the sudden roar:

“Su Yiren！I came back with this injured arm after driving two hundred kilometers to get a divorce with you, but you’re playing hide-and-seek with me?! Do you want to get a divorce or not? If you miss today, you can forget about me coming to this hellhole again!”

Su Yiren frowned, did he really go back to Jiangcheng?

The location was indeed the Jiangcheng Civil Affairs Bureau, it seemed he really wanted to get a divorce today.

It was all thanks to this unlucky car accident, otherwise she would be free now!

But what should she do now?

Listening to his furious roar, she could imagine how angry he was at the time.

It had been a day, even the biggest anger would have subsided, right?

After careful consideration, Su Yiren decided to tell him the reason for her breaking the appointment.

She mustered her courage and dialed Lu Yunting’s number, but the phone only rang twice before it was hung up.

Su Yiren: “…”

Anyone would have a little temper after waiting for a day, Su Yiren understood.

So, she called again, and as expected, the call was hung up again.

She patiently called a third time, and the other party simply didn’t answer.

Listening to the endless beeping on the phone, Su Yiren was also a little annoyed.

Why is he so angry? Doesn’t he even want to hear an explanation?

She also got angry and stopped calling him, she directly sent him a WeChat message:

【I had a car accident last night, I just woke up. I’m sorry for making you wait for nothing.】

But as soon as she clicked send, she saw a line appear in the chat box:

The other party has enabled friend verification, you are not their friend yet, do you want to verify through a friend.

Su Yiren: “…”
