Chapter 124: Caught Off Guard
It felt truly wonderful to have someone help him with the most difficult problem.
Luo Ji stretched vigorously.
Of course, even if it wasn’t ultimately solved, it didn’t matter.
He had already reached his limit anyway.
At worst, he could make do with the content he had recorded in his notebook for a while.
For the next period, he could certainly happily research bronze casting.
Compared to the complex commercial system content, the information on bronze casting was simply much easier for Luo Ji to understand.
He diligently organized and absorbed the content, then looked up information that might be needed for future tribal development.
A day passed quietly.
The next morning, before his alarm could wake him, Luo Ji heard a notification as an email arrived in his phone’s inbox.
He groggily opened his eyes and saw it was an unknown email.
The subject line read…
“Commercial System Framework?!”
Luo Ji instantly sobered up and immediately sat up in bed.
“Damn, that fast?”
He had originally thought it would take at least two or three days.
He never expected that senior sister to send it to him the very next day.
“She wouldn’t have just written something random to fool me, would she?”
Luo Ji casually clicked on the email, downloaded the attached file, and upon seeing it, he immediately apologized.
“Sorry, senior sister, I shouldn’t have doubted your character!”
It was densely packed, with a huge amount of content!
There was even a table of contents on the first page.
Although it was just a framework, the amount of content was astonishing.
This certainly wasn’t something written with the intention of casually fooling someone.
There were too many words, making it inconvenient to read on his phone, so Luo Ji decisively opened it on his computer.
Upon seeing it, the content was even more extensive.
“Could that senior sister have stayed up all night organizing this after returning from the library yesterday?”
He glanced at the sky outside the window.
It wasn’t even 7 AM yet.
To be honest, he had even prepared himself for being stood up, but he never expected her to go to such lengths because of a simple promise.
He felt a strange sense of gratitude and immediately sent a thank-you email.
At this moment, in another room in Z City, Ye Qingxuan, who had stayed up all night, had an undisguised look of exhaustion on her face.
From returning from the library yesterday until now, even she hadn’t realized she had organized for so long.
She stretched tiredly.
Beneath her loose white T-shirt, her curvaceous figure was perfectly displayed, sparking endless imagination.
“Ding-dong.”
Just then, with a soft sound, Luo Ji’s thank-you email arrived.
Ye Qingxuan casually opened it, and after glancing at it, a smile appeared on her tired face.
“At least you have some conscience.”
“But why does he need this kind of commercial system framework?”
“Forget it, I’m too tired…”
Having always had regular sleep habits, her mind was somewhat hazy after a night without sleep.
However, she still decided to go downstairs for breakfast first, then come back to catch up on sleep.
However, just ten minutes after she left, the door downstairs opened, and Luo Ji, dressed in casual clothes, lazily walked out.
As soon as he went downstairs, he found a crowd of people gathered.
The stairwell was not wide to begin with, and with it blocked like this, people couldn’t get through.
Fortunately, his height of nearly 1.8 meters allowed him to see over them.
Stretching his neck, he immediately saw police cars and ambulances parked outside the building.
Luo Ji frowned slightly and casually asked a neighbor he was somewhat familiar with.
“Grandpa Zhang, what happened?”
“Oh, little Luo…”
Grandpa Zhang turned around and, upon seeing Luo Ji standing behind him, spoke with a sigh.
“The girl who lives upstairs from you was in a car accident.”
“Upstairs from me?”
Luo Ji’s eyes showed a hint of confusion.
“Grandpa Zhang, you must be mistaken? The apartment above mine is empty, and it’s been empty for so many years.”
“What are you saying? It’s your Uncle Ye’s family. When you were very young, they moved abroad. But a while ago, their daughter came back to the country, saying she was studying for some doctoral degree. Oh, and she’s even from your university, Z University! You two used to be very close when you were little.”
“Uh, that happened too…”
Luo Ji awkwardly scratched his head.
He really couldn’t remember.
But two months ago, it seemed someone was moving in.
It’s just that he worked and went to school every day, getting up early and staying up late, exhausted, so he clearly had no time to concern himself with that.
Seeing Luo Ji’s expression, Grandpa Zhang knew he definitely hadn’t remembered, but he didn’t blame him.
Everyone in the building knew Luo Ji had been through a lot over the years.
So, he reminded him again. “Qingxuan, Ye Qingxuan. Remember now?”
“Ye… Qingxuan?!”
Luo Ji was stunned on the spot upon hearing this name.
“Z University? Doctoral candidate? Ye Qingxuan?!”
No time to think, his body already moved, desperately pushing through the crowd and quickly running to the car accident scene.
The blood splattered on the ground startled Luo Ji.
Inside the police tape, a middle-aged man was sweating profusely, frantically explaining to the police officer questioning him.
“Officer, this, this really isn’t my fault! That girl was dazed and wasn’t looking where she was going. I was driving properly, and she suddenly ran out…”
“According to the traffic camera footage just retrieved, your car was speeding. The maximum speed limit on this road is fifty kilometers per hour, but your car was going over seventy kilometers per hour.”
“No, no, I had a reason, Officer…”
“Alright, alright, anything you want to say, say it at the station. Men, take him away!”
His mind was a tangled mess.
The man had said Ye Qingxuan was disoriented when she had the car accident.
Was it because she had stayed up all night helping him organize the commercial system data?
At this moment, Luo Ji’s mood was undoubtedly heavy.
This series of events caught him completely off guard, and he couldn’t distance himself.
After quickly finding out which hospital Ye Qingxuan was sent to, he immediately rushed there.
“Excuse me, how is the girl who was brought in due to a car accident?”
“Her name is Ye Qingxuan.”
After arriving at the hospital, Luo Ji stood at the front desk, asking nervously.
“May I ask who you are?”
“I’m her friend.”
“Oh, her boyfriend.”
The front desk nurse immediately understood, then slowly spoke.
“She’s currently in the emergency room receiving emergency treatment.”
Luo Ji’s heart sank upon hearing this.
The blood he had seen at the accident scene kept flashing in his mind, and the sense of guilt was almost suffocating him.
