Wu Peng inquired about the situation with Jia Wenjun and first rushed to the scene of the accident.

By the time he arrived, the traffic police had already completed their on-site investigation and made a determination of the accident, and traffic had been restored.

The traffic police explained the situation at the time to Wu Peng, and Wu Peng went to the traffic police brigade with the driver at fault. There was no room for argument about the responsibility; the other party was fully responsible, and the other party would fully compensate for Jia's father's injuries.

After resolving this matter, Wu Peng left the traffic police station and went to the hospital.

At this time, Jia's mother, after wandering around and constantly asking people, finally found the emergency building from the inpatient department.

The emergency department was full of people coming and going, each in a hurry. Jia's mother had no choice but to bite the bullet and stop a woman wearing a nurse's uniform. "Nurse, excuse me, was there a man around sixty years old who was just brought in with injuries from a car accident?"

The nurse was in a hurry to get medicine for the patient and said quickly, "I don't know. Go ask at the nurse's station."

The nurses here were so busy that they wished they had three heads and six arms and had no time to slowly answer her questions and help her find him compared to the inpatient department.

Jia's mother finally found the nurse's station, but the nurses had just changed shifts and were not clear about what had just happened. Before she could ask in detail, they ran off one after another to deliver medicine.

Jia's mother had no choice but to search room by room. Since the examination rooms were not accessible to just anyone, seeing her constantly wandering around, several nurses had no choice but to pull this suspicious person out.

Jia's mother was anxious and shouted at the nurses holding her, "Why are you pulling me? I'm looking for my husband. He was just sent here after a car accident. His name is Jia Jianming."

"I told you, we didn't find the person you're talking about."

Jia's mother didn't want to leave and tried desperately to break free. "Impossible. The traffic police said he was taken to the emergency room here by ambulance. He must be here."

The noise of the group arguing attracted the attention of passersby.

"Auntie Jia?" A man walked over from the crowd.

Jia's mother was stunned. Seeing that it was Wu Peng, she felt as if she had found a savior in this unfamiliar place. She quickly broke free and trotted over to say, "Little Wu, your Uncle Jia was just hit by a car. The traffic police said he was taken to the emergency room here, but they keep saying he's not here. Little Wu, please help Auntie."

Jia's mother was well-maintained. For a woman in her fifties or sixties, her forehead was still smooth, and she spoke softly. It was clear that she had been well taken care of and hadn't experienced much hardship in life.

He had met Jia's mother several times, and each time she was well-mannered, gentle, and virtuous. Seeing her so flustered now, it seemed she was really pushed to her limit.

Wu Peng went over to explain his identity as a lawyer to the nurses, and their attitude softened. They went to check with the doctor.

A doctor who had just returned from the operating room heard their words and said, "There was indeed a car accident patient who was sent in just now. Because he suffered a serious head injury, he was sent directly to the operating room."

When Jia's mother heard that he had a head injury and was sent to surgery, her legs went weak, and she almost fell to the ground.

Wu Peng supported Jia's mother in time and helped her sit firmly on the chair before checking the patient's information with the doctor in detail. After confirming that the person who had entered the operating room was Uncle Jia, he inquired about Uncle Jia's condition in detail.

"The patient is still in the operating room and hasn't come out yet, so it's hard to say the situation. You family members should pay the pre-operative fees first, so as not to affect the patient's surgery."

Wu Peng looked at Jia's mother. "Auntie Jia, did you bring any money?"

Jia's mother had come out in a hurry. She took out her phone. "The money, the money is all with your Uncle Jia. He usually handles those Alipay and WeChat payments. I don't understand them at all."

Jia's mother really didn't manage the money. Usually, her old man took care of these things at home. She would just plant flowers and watch dramas, and she had never even paid the electricity or water bills at home. She didn't know how much money was in the house, nor did she care, because her old man would arrange everything in an orderly manner.

She pressed out a payment code from her phone. She usually didn't spend much money, but the old man would deposit some money in it in case she wanted to buy something when he wasn't around.

But she didn't know exactly how much was in it.

Wu Peng took Jia's mother to the payment office, where they required a deposit of 20,000 yuan first.

Jia's mother held the code and asked the other party to scan it, and it actually worked.

Thinking that her daughter's hospitalization fees had not been paid yet and the nurse had already urged her, the old man had said he would buy dinner and pay the fees on the way, but unexpectedly, this incident happened.

Jia's mother took her phone again to pay for her daughter's hospitalization fees, but this time the 5,000 yuan could not be scanned.

Seeing that there was no money in her phone, Jia's mother panicked again. "Little Wu, I have no money in my phone. The money is all in your Uncle Jia's phone, but I don't know where his phone is now."

"Auntie Jia, don't worry. I went to the scene of the accident just now. The traffic police comrades said that they brought Uncle Jia's phone back to the hospital with the medical staff. Wait here for a while, and I'll ask the nurse."

Ten minutes later, Wu Peng ran back with a plastic-sealed bag containing a black phone.

"Auntie Jia, this is Uncle Jia's phone that the traffic police found at the scene. See if you can turn it on. Also, there are things in this bag, a new phone and a newly issued SIM card."

"This is for Junjun." Jia's mother took out her husband's phone from the bag with red eyes. Fortunately, she still knew the power-on password, so she successfully turned on the phone.

After paying the fees, the two returned to the door of the operating room to wait. Jia's mother said with red eyes, "Little Wu, thank you so much today. If it weren't for you, Auntie wouldn't know what to do."

"Auntie, don't be so polite. We are all owners in the same community. A close neighbor is better than a distant relative. If you need any help, just tell me."

"Okay, okay." Jia's mother wiped away her tears, and the door of the operating room opened.

It was already eight o'clock in the evening when Wu Peng returned to Jia Wenjun's ward.

Jia Wenjun had been waiting for news from her parents, but because she didn't have a phone, she could only wait for her mother to come back.

Seeing Wu Peng, Jia Wenjun immediately asked about the situation.

Wu Peng didn't bother to drink water and said directly, "Uncle Jia had surgery because of a brain injury. He's out of the operating room now, and everything went smoothly. We're just waiting for him to wake up."

Jia Wenjun thought her father had only injured his hands and feet, but she didn't expect that he had hit his head and had surgery. Her hands and feet were cold, and her mind was blank.

Fortunately, Wu Peng immediately told her the results of the examination. "The doctor said that Uncle Jia should be able to wake up tomorrow, so don't worry too much. But after he wakes up, he still has to stay in the hospital for a period of time to observe his recovery. As for the car accident, the other party was drunk driving and fully responsible. When you get the hospital bill and the compensation costs, you can settle with them."

Jia Wenjun felt that her heart had finally returned to its original place. Her face was pale. "Lawyer Wu, what about my mom? How is she now?"

"Auntie Jia is with Uncle Jia now. Her emotions are still stable, so you don't have to worry." After saying that, he handed her a bowl of porridge that had been packed. "Auntie said you didn't have dinner, so I bought a bowl of meat porridge. Eat it quickly."

Jia Wenjun didn't have an appetite, but this was not the time to be sentimental. If she fell, it would be even more difficult for her mother.

She took the porridge. "Lawyer Wu, thank you so much today. I don't have a phone now, so I can't transfer the money to you."

She had already gone beyond Wu Peng's scope of work by asking him to run to the scene of the car accident. Now he had brought her dinner. She would have to tell Lawyer Liu good things about this intern lawyer later.

"It's just a bowl of porridge, you don't have to be so polite." Wu Peng took out a new phone and a new SIM card from his bag and handed them to her. "This is what Uncle Jia bought for you. With a phone, you can contact Auntie Jia."

He didn't tell Jia Wenjun that Uncle Jia was hit on the way back from buying her a phone. Generally speaking, lawyers would explain the whole story to the client, but at this time, Wu Peng felt that even if Jia Wenjun knew these things, it would only increase her self-blame and would not help the whole matter, so he didn't tell her what the traffic police had told him.
