Chapter 13: The Rescue of Goudan and the False Accusation

Wei Lan, who was mixed in the crowd, had her eyes flickering as she quietly observed the commotion over here.

Yang Qingyan knew that the situation was critical and could not be delayed. She decisively pulled Li Zhaodi aside, speaking in a firm and urgent tone: “I can save him; step aside!”

Only then did Li Zhaodi realize that the person was Yang Qingyan. The memory of Yang Qingyan visiting her home flashed through her mind, causing a momentary doubt. But with Xiao Hu in imminent danger, she truly had no other options. After hesitating for a moment, she still stepped back a bit.

Yang Qingyan quickly crouched down, placing her fingers on Xiao Hu’s pulse, carefully feeling his weak heartbeat. She then began methodically performing CPR on Xiao Hu.

At that moment, Wei Lan, who had been lurking nearby, saw an opportunity. She suddenly raised her voice and shouted, “Sister-in-law, it was her who pushed Goudan into the water! Now that Goudan has no breath, she still wants to mess with him. Don’t be foolish!”

When Li Zhaodi heard this, recalling the unpleasantness from last time, her anger flared up instantly. Ignoring that Yang Qingyan was administering aid, she rushed over and forcefully pulled Yang Qingyan away, glaring and loudly questioning, “Don’t touch him! What are you planning?”

As soon as the crowd heard this, they erupted into chaos, whispering to each other and discussing.

“How can it be her? She doesn’t look like a bad person usually.”

“You can’t judge a book by its cover; this situation is tricky.”

Yang Qingyan was taken aback by this sudden turn of events. She never expected that her good intentions to save someone would lead to such accusations.

Anxious and worried for Xiao Hu’s safety, she was also furious, arguing loudly, “What nonsense are you talking about? I clearly saved him! Wei Lan, you’re slandering me!”

However, at this moment, the crowd’s emotions had been stirred up by Wei Lan, and no one was willing to believe her. Everyone looked at her with suspicion and blame, and the scene became chaotic.

Just then, Liang Huantao rushed over, panting heavily. Seeing the situation, she stepped forward without hesitation to speak up for Yang Qingyan: “Qingyan is so good and skilled in medicine; it can’t be her. Sister Li, quickly step aside and let Qingyan see Goudan.”

Yang Qingyan also shouted, “Wei Lan, who told you that Goudan has no breath? If you slander me, I will find evidence to prove my innocence. But right now, the priority is to save Goudan. Li Zhaodi, move aside and don’t waste time.”

Mu Nanhe, who had just returned from practice nearby, saw a crowd gathered and came over to check. As soon as he arrived, he heard Yang Qingyan’s words. Without saying much, he pulled Li Zhaodi away and firmly told Yang Qingyan, “Qingyan, just save him. I believe in you.”

Yang Qingyan looked at Mu Nanhe gratefully, nodded, and quickly crouched down. After confirming the situation by checking Goudan’s pulse, she methodically began CPR on Goudan. One push, two pushes, three pushes… Sweat beads covered her forehead, but her gaze was intensely focused, pouring all her hope into each movement, trying to bring this young life back from the brink of death.

After performing CPR for a while, Yang Qingyan decisively directed Mu Nanhe: “Mu Nanhe, give Goudan artificial respiration, quickly!”

Even though Mu Nanhe had never done this before, he hesitated not at all and completely followed Yang Qingyan’s instructions. He bent down, carefully giving Goudan artificial respiration as Yang Qingyan indicated.

Meanwhile, Yang Qingyan quietly activated her internal ability, secretly channeling a little energy into Goudan to assist in restoring his breath.

Time passed second by second, and the atmosphere became so tense it was suffocating. Finally, after two minutes, Goudan coughed up a mouthful of water and then began to cry loudly.

Upon seeing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Li Zhaodi, overwhelmed with joy, hugged Goudan and kept expressing her gratitude: “Thank you, thank you for saving my Goudan…”

Liang Huantao smiled as she walked over and patted Yang Qingyan’s shoulder: “I knew you would do it!”

Mu Nanhe stood up, looking at Yang Qingyan with pride and appreciation in his eyes.

After Goudan woke up, Yang Qingyan did not let her guard down. She knew that although the child was out of immediate danger, a further examination was necessary to ensure there were no hidden issues.

So, she quickly walked over to Li Zhaodi and said with concern, “Li Zhaodi, even though Goudan is awake, he still needs to be checked thoroughly at the clinic to make sure everything is fine. You should carry him and hurry there; don’t delay.”

At this moment, Li Zhaodi was filled with gratitude, nodding repeatedly: “Okay, okay, I’ll go right away. Thank you so much, Qingyan. If it weren’t for you, I really can’t imagine…” Her eyes turned red again as she spoke.

Yang Qingyan gently patted her shoulder and comforted her, “Don’t delay, go quickly.”

Li Zhaodi held Goudan tightly and rushed to the clinic.

Yang Qingyan wiped the beads of sweat from her forehead and looked at Wei Lan with a stern expression: “I said I would find evidence to clear my name. You falsely accused me without reason; this matter is not over.”

Wei Lan’s face turned pale. She did not expect the situation to escalate like this and, under the scrutiny of the crowd’s accusing gazes, felt like fleeing.

Mu Nanhe stepped forward and blocked her: “You can’t leave; you must give Qingyan an explanation.”

Wei Lan quickly changed her mind. Since no one had seen who pushed the child, she decided to insist that it was Yang Qingyan. She had no evidence but thought that if she stuck to her claim, she might still manage to make Yang Qingyan suffer. Thinking this, she gathered her thoughts and insisted, “It was you who pushed him; I saw it!”

Yang Qingyan furrowed her brows tightly and responded, “If that’s so, then explain why I would push him and then try to save him? That makes no sense at all.”

Liang Huantao got anxious and hurriedly helped out: “Wei Lan, you can’t just say that! Everyone knows what kind of person Qingyan is; she wouldn’t do something like that.”

Mu Nanhe stepped even closer, his tall figure exuding a strong sense of pressure. He glared at Wei Lan: “You say you saw it; then tell us the details clearly. If you dare to slander Qingyan, I won’t let you off.”

Wei Lan felt a little uneasy but still held her head high: “I… I saw it! I was not far away at the time and saw her push Goudan down, then hypocritically jumped in to save him.”

Yang Qingyan took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down. She knew this was a crowded place, and there must be people who witnessed the truth of the situation. She calmly said, “Then let’s have the authorities investigate, and once Goudan wakes up, we can ask him. He will definitely know what happened.”

Mu Nanhe immediately stated: “Leave this matter to me; I will get to the bottom of it.”

Yang Qingyan nodded, firmly saying, “In two days, when the results are out, we’ll see who is wrong.”

Mu Nanhe turned to Yang Qingyan, showing concern on his face: “The weather is getting cooler, and you just came out of the water. Quickly go change your clothes so you don’t catch a cold. I’ll handle things here.”

Yang Qingyan felt warmth in her heart, responded softly, and, under the attentive gaze of everyone, went to change her clothes.
