Chapter 76 Accident
June 21, 2017, Tuesday, 3:27 PM, Beijing.

"The plane has landed at Beijing Capital International Airport. The outside temperature is 27 degrees Celsius. The plane is taxiing. For your safety and the safety of others, please do not stand up or open the overhead bins. Please unfasten your seatbelt after the plane has come to a complete stop."

After the plane came to a stop, Lu Ze got up to pick up his small carry-on luggage, but Wang Zixuan snatched it away as soon as he got it. She was short and couldn't reach the overhead compartment, so she had to wait for Lu Ze to take it down before she could take it away.

Lu Ze was helpless. As a man, he was not used to having a girl help him carry things, especially a girl who was only 1.5 meters tall and had short limbs. But Wang Zixuan was stubborn and wouldn't let him carry her things. Fortunately, he was only staying in the capital for two days and didn't bring much. The small bag he had just taken down wasn't heavy.

After collecting their luggage, Lu Ze stood at the airport entrance. A short while later, a black minivan stopped in front of him. Liu Bin got out of the car, picked up Lu Ze's luggage, and put it in the vehicle. Lu Ze opened the car door, got in, and sat down. The car then drove towards the booked hotel.

Liu Bin arrived in Beijing a day early and borrowed a car from Rongchuang Group's Beijing branch. With such powerful connections, he didn't even need to rent a car; the group had cars everywhere, so he could just say hello and drive away.

"Zixuan, give me the book."

After taking the book and finding the bookmark he had previously placed there, Lu Ze adjusted his seat to a comfortable angle and began to read carefully. Liu Bin glanced at the rearview mirror and turned off the music.

"It's okay, some music is nice, just change to something quieter."

An hour later, Lu Ze arrived at the hotel and stretched. He had been exhausted these past few days, both physically and mentally. Yesterday, he finally managed to sign the contract for "Forensic Doctor Qin Ming".

Of course, the salary wasn't much either, 300,000 yuan after tax, 15,000 yuan per episode. That was the price the company offered, and Lu Ze didn't refuse.

After all, it was produced by the company itself, so it's considered a company resource. It was still invested in Lu Ze, so what can be said if the amount is a little less? Besides, the production team isn't exactly well-off either, otherwise they wouldn't have given so little.

This money won't go through the company's profit sharing; it's reported directly to Lu Ze. After Lu Ze signed the contract, it was directly transferred to his account, and it has already arrived.

However, it will take some time before filming begins, as the project has only just been approved and casting and crew preparations have not yet started.

It's said that a new batch of actors will be auditioning in a few days, and Han Chen will be selecting roles from among them, probably to find actors at a lower price.

New actors would definitely agree; they'd be happy to take any role, no matter the pay. This would also satisfy the company, as it's a self-sufficiency arrangement. If the new show becomes a hit, even a minor one, it would save them a lot of investment.

After getting off the bus, Lu Ze stayed in a three-star deluxe room, while Liu Bin and Wang Zixuan also stayed at the same hotel, but in standard rooms, which were reimbursed by their company.

Back in his room, Lu Ze was about to lie down and rest for a while when his phone, which was on the bedside table, rang. He answered it and saw that it was Jiang Wenshu calling. It seemed that he wouldn't be able to rest even if he wanted to.

"Hello? Wen Shu."

"Brother Ze, have you arrived in the capital yet?"

"Yes, I just arrived at the hotel. What's up?"

"Come out, I'll treat you to dinner."

"I'm a little tired, I can't go now. How about tomorrow? I'll treat you after the press conference tomorrow, okay?"

"No way, you're such a nice guy! I've already ordered all the food, and I was just thinking of getting together with you for a drink. Hurry up, I'm at Chunfangyuan. I've already ordered all the food, so I'll hang up now and wait for you."

With a ding, Lu Ze glanced at his phone. She had already hung up. Well, he figured he should just go. Since she had called him like that, it wouldn't be right not to go.

After changing into loose-fitting clothes and putting on a newly bought black baseball cap, Lu Ze didn't look for Liu Bin. He went downstairs, checked the location of Chunfang Garden, and found that it was quite far away, so he hailed a taxi.

Not all taxi drivers in the capital are very talkative. At least the taxi driver Lu Ze was in was quite quiet. Maybe he was from out of town? Anyway, Lu Ze didn't say a word the whole way, and neither did the driver.

"Brother, there's a traffic jam ahead. Chunfangyuan is just ahead. Just walk on the sidewalk, it's only a few hundred meters away. It's so congested. I bet I can't even drive as fast as you walk."

Lu Ze glanced around and saw that it was indeed the case. He looked ahead and saw that the traffic was so congested that he couldn't see the end of the line. "Okay, here's your WeChat."

After paying the fare, getting out of the car, and climbing over the pedestrian crossing guardrail, Lu Ze checked the navigation again and found that he was indeed not far away. Without needing to turn, he slowly walked forward.

"Stop driving! Everyone move aside! Otherwise the ambulance won't be able to get in! Everyone, move aside! Dude! Are you okay? Hang in there, the ambulance is coming soon!"

Lu Ze turned his head and saw that a sedan and an SUV had collided on the road. The SUV had a large section of damage, while the front of the sedan was completely deformed, and it looked quite serious.

A burly man with a shaved head and blood on his forehead was leaning against the driver's side door of a sedan, shouting loudly at the opposite side. It seemed that the sedan owner was still inside, while he was probably the owner of the SUV.

"Is there a doctor? Is there a physician? A nurse would be fine too! He's bleeding! Is there any guy who knows first aid who can lend a hand?"

Judging from the big man's anxious appearance, it was probably his fault, but he seemed to have a conscience. The car owner appeared to be seriously injured, and he encountered a heartless person who would have preferred the car owner to die.

Lu Ze was just observing; he had no ability to get involved. He had simulated the profession of doctor in the system, but he had forgotten all the professional skills, so he didn't want to make things worse for them.

With his gaze withdrawn, Lu Ze chose to leave. After taking only two steps, he suddenly felt dizzy, as if drowsiness was creeping in, but much faster than drowsiness. His body was already exhausted, so he grabbed the railing of the pedestrian crossing and looked around at his body.

"Why am I so sleepy? Who shot me with a tranquilizer gun?"

This was Lu Ze's first and last thought; after that, he leaned against the railing and fell asleep.
Suddenly opening his eyes, Lu Ze lifted his long legs and immediately jumped over the railing, running towards the direction of the accident. There were quite a few onlookers, but he pushed them aside and squeezed into the scene.

"stand up."

Lu Ze gave the big man a push, looked at the car door, and saw that it could still be opened halfway, which was enough. He ran to the other side to turn off the car and then pulled the handbrake.

Back outside the driver's side door, Lu Ze dared not activate the airbag. He observed bleeding on his inner thigh, but thankfully it wasn't a ruptured aorta; it was just blood gushing out.

Lu Ze knelt down on one knee and used his fingers to press on the wound to stop the bleeding. He looked at the big man and said, "Do you have any bandages? A long rope will do too. Never mind, just cut the seatbelt off."

Fold the seatbelt in half and apply a tourniquet near the bleeding point. The bleeding immediately decreased significantly. Moving the gaze downwards again, the driver's tibia was also fractured.

There was a small neck pillow in the back seat. Lu Ze took it off and put it between the driver's legs as a pad. He used the seat belt to fix the injured limb and the healthy limb together. First, he used a figure-eight to fix the ankle and foot, and then fixed the middle of the thigh, the proximal and distal ends of the fracture site in turn. He tied a knot on the healthy leg.

"That's all we can do for now. I don't dare move around because of the airbags. Just hope you're okay."

Lu Ze looked calmly at the burly man. This was the price of violating traffic laws. This man was probably going to be crippled, whether he died or not was up to fate. If he died, he would have to pay compensation; if he was crippled, he would have to support his family. This was the price.

"Thank you, doctor."

The big man wasn't unreasonable; he thanked Lu Ze, his face flushed and his neck thick with anger.

"Give me some water, I want to wash my hands."

A passerby gave Lu Ze a bottle of mineral water to wash his hands, and then Lu Ze turned to leave.

"Hey! Doctor, you can't leave!"

"Don't touch them, wait for the ambulance. We can already hear the siren. I have something to do, I'm leaving now."

The big man didn't really want Lu Ze to leave, but the ambulance had already arrived. He was so panicked that he didn't know what to say, so he just let Lu Ze go. The others didn't dare to interfere and made way for him. Lu Ze climbed over the railing and left the scene of the accident.
