Chapter 8 My younger brother is so handsome
Being a police officer, Wu Liuting recovered from her shock faster than Zhou Huai. She quickly stepped forward and reached out to check the middle-aged man's breath.
"Sister Witch, how is it?"
Zhou Huai walked quickly to her side.
"He's still alive, but his breathing is extremely weak. Zhou Huai, let's help him out."
"it is good."
The two of them worked together to carefully lift the middle-aged man huddled in the iron cage out, and then, with some effort, laid him flat on the large bed in the room.
"Uncle Zhang...?"
Only then did Zhou Huai realize that he recognized the disheveled middle-aged man in front of him.
It was Zhang Zhengyi's father, Zhang Qingshan.
[An urgent mission has been issued:
"Zhou Huai, do you know him?"
Wu Liuting stood up, looked at Zhou Huai, and asked in confusion.
"My brother's father, Sister Wu, I forgot to call 120 for emergency help. Could you please contact him and make arrangements?"
Generally speaking, it takes about the same amount of time for an ordinary person to call an ambulance as it does for the police, but the police can arrange for flashing lights and sirens, clearing the way, and directing traffic, so the ambulance will get there much faster.
Although it's already past 10 o'clock and traffic shouldn't be congested, no one can predict what might happen on the road.
"it is good."
Wu Liuting nodded, immediately took out her phone, skillfully dialed the branch command center, quickly explained the situation, and coordinated emergency resources.
At the same time, Zhou Huai silently recited in his heart.
"Doubao, help me draw lots, use up all the chances."
This mission is quite difficult. He has accumulated 5 chances to draw a prize and hopes to draw some helpful items.
[Okay, master. 】
[Congratulations, host, you have obtained a one-time use item,

[Congratulations, host, you have obtained the one-time use item
As a series of notification sounds faded, Zhou Huai felt a slight sense of relief.
Especially first aid skills, which are undoubtedly a godsend.
He immediately got up and quickly scanned the room, looking for items that might come in handy.
The room was simply and cluttered, with several old cardboard boxes piled in the corner, the wardrobe half-open, and the bedding on the bed crumpled.
Soon, Zhou Huai made a discovery—there was a half-empty bottle of baijiu on the bedside table, the smell of alcohol permeating the air, which could be used for disinfection.
He then went to the wardrobe, pulled out a clean large towel, and a neatly folded white vest.
Just now, Zhou Huai saw the blood constantly seeping from Zhang Qingshan's forehead and dared not touch him rashly, for fear of causing secondary injury if he touched him improperly.
Now that he has first aid skills, he can finally put his worries aside.
"Zhou Huai, do you know first aid?"
After finishing her call, Wu Liuting turned around and saw Zhou Huai holding liquor and fabric, and couldn't help but ask.
"I know a little bit of the basics."
Zhou Huai unscrewed the bottle of liquor and poured out a little to wipe the affected area on a towel.
He crouched down and carefully brushed aside the stray hairs on Zhang Qingshan's forehead.
The wound was not small, the edges were rough, and blood slid down his cheek, staining most of his face red. His breathing became increasingly weak.
Zhou Huai gently wiped the skin around the wound with a disinfected towel, his movements gentle yet precise. Then he tore the white vest into strips of appropriate width and covered the wound layer by layer, pressing gently.
Wu Liuting walked to the corner of the room, where the woman tied to the chair had her eyes closed and was breathing steadily; she was clearly asleep.
She gently checked the other person's breath, and after confirming that they were alright, she turned around and walked back to the bedside.
Looking at Zhou Huai's profile as he focused on first aid, the light outlined his sharply defined jawline. His movements were steady and skillful, without the slightest sign of panic.
Wu Liuting's heart stirred for no apparent reason, and she secretly sighed in her heart, "My younger brother is so handsome."
The corners of her mouth unconsciously turned up slightly, and a gentle smile appeared in her eyes.
After treating the initial wounds, Zhou Huai silently ordered, "Doubao, open the system shop."
[Okay, master. 】
Blood was still seeping from Zhang Qingshan's forehead, and the newly wrapped strips of cloth were soon stained red.
Zhou Huai knew that ordinary bandaging would not be able to stop the bleeding.
He remembered the rules of the system shop: the items he had won in the lottery could be purchased in the shop, and the first aid skills experience book was exactly what he needed right now.
"First aid skills experience book, 800 favor coins per book, buy me two."
[Okay, master. 】
[The experience book has been automatically applied; current first aid technique C→B.]
[The experience book has been automatically applied; current first aid technique B→A.]
The upgrade in emergency care level allowed Zhou Huai to instantly master more professional first aid techniques.
He unwrapped the bandages, his gaze fell on the wound, he took a deep breath, and pressed his hands on the designated spot using professional techniques.
This time, the initially severe bleeding gradually slowed down and eventually stopped completely.
"Sister Wu, please do me a favor and wrap some cloth around my hand. I can't let go of it right now, or the blood will start flowing again."
"Okay, sure."
Wu Liuting immediately stepped forward.
She only knew some simple bandaging techniques and was afraid of making things worse. Besides, she saw that Zhou Huai's movements were skillful, which was why she had been standing there the whole time.
"Zhou Huai, should we just entangle him directly?"
Wu Liuting gripped the strip of cloth tightly and asked softly.
"Yes, you have to be quick. I'll count down from three, and the moment I loosen my grip, you immediately wrap it around yourself and tie a knot."
Zhou Huai's voice was slightly hurried, yet unusually calm.
"it is good."
"3, 2, 1, Go!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhou Huai slowly released his hand. Wu Liuting moved quickly and accurately, wrapping the cloth strip around Zhang Qingshan's forehead and tying a knot skillfully.
The whole process took only a few seconds, and by the time it was finished, the bleeding on Zhang Qingshan's forehead had completely stopped.
Zhou Huai's tense nerves relaxed a little, and he let out a long sigh of relief.
At that moment, his gaze fell on Wu Liuting's face.
The two were very close, and the faint blush on her cheeks was clearly visible, while her long eyelashes cast a light shadow under the light.
Zhou Huai's heart skipped a beat for no apparent reason, and he blurted out the words instinctively.
"Sister Wu, you're so beautiful."
Wu Liuting's pretty face instantly turned bright red, like a ripe apple. She quickly took a few steps back and walked towards the living room, saying as if to cover up her embarrassment.
"Um... my colleagues are coming up."
She was telling the truth.
Several police officers from the Chengnan Branch had arrived downstairs, including her mentor, Huang Huifeng, the captain of the Criminal Investigation Brigade.
The group quickly climbed the stairs and, upon seeing the scene in the room, immediately divided up their tasks: some investigated the scene, some inquired about the situation, and others went to check on the sleeping woman.
Not long after, the sound of an ambulance siren came from downstairs, growing louder as it approached.
The ambulance arrived downstairs, and paramedics rushed up with a stretcher. Upon seeing Zhang Qingshan on the bed, they immediately began examining him before carefully lifting him onto the stretcher…
According to normal procedures, Zhou Huai, as the person who reported the incident, should stay and give a statement.
However, with Wu Liuting present and Zhang Qingshan's situation urgent, this procedure was skipped.
However, the system has not yet provided any notification that the task is complete.
Worried about potential accidents on the way, Zhou Huai went to the hospital with the ambulance.
The ambulance sped along, its siren piercing the night sky.
Zhou Huai sat in the corner of the ambulance, took out his phone, and dialed Zhang Zhengyi's number.
"Hey, Yi, it's me, Zhou Huai."
"Brother Huai? Why are you calling so late?"
Zhang Zhengyi's groggy voice came from the other end of the phone; you could tell he had just woken up.
As a student with athletic talent, Zhang Zhengyi usually trains intensely and is a boarding student at the school, living on campus almost all the time except for weekends.
"Your dad is injured. I'm on the ambulance taking him to the hospital. Please ask the dormitory supervisor for leave and come to Anjia Hospital."
"Huh?" Zhang Zhengyi's voice instantly cleared, filled with disbelief and panic. "What happened to my dad?"
"Don't panic, it's alright, his condition is quite stable now," Zhou Huai quickly reassured him.
"Okay...okay, I'll go right away!"
Zhang Zhengyi's voice was choked with sobs, and the sound of him hurriedly getting up could be heard on the other end of the phone.
"Ayi, what's wrong?"
The noise woke up the roommates, who sat up and asked what was wrong.
"My dad had an accident, I need to go to the hospital."
Without offering any further explanation, Zhang Zhengyi grabbed his coat and rushed out of the dormitory, heading straight for the dormitory supervisor's office.
A dozen minutes later, the ambulance arrived safely at the entrance of Anjia Hospital.
The emergency room medical staff who had been waiting there immediately surrounded him, transferred Zhang Qingshan from the stretcher to a medical trolley, and rushed him into the emergency room.
Zhou Huai didn't go in. He sat on a row of chairs opposite the emergency room, gently tapping his knees with his fingertips.
Zhou Huai had just sent Zhang Zhengyi a message, telling him the exact location of the emergency room, when he looked up and caught a glimpse of it, which made his heart clench.
In the lobby not far away, a female doctor wearing a white coat and gold-rimmed glasses was hurrying over.
Behind her, a man in a hospital gown hurried after her, his face grim, his brows furrowed, and his right hand tightly clenching something that gleamed coldly under the light.
Zhou Huai's gaze suddenly narrowed. He saw clearly that the man was holding a fruit knife.
"Hey, you female doctor with glasses, run fast! Someone's going to hurt you."
Zhou Huai stood up instantly, his voice suddenly rising in pitch.
As soon as he finished speaking, he sprang into action like an arrow released from a bow, his steps incredibly fast, rushing towards the female doctor.
Upon hearing Zhou Huai's call, the female doctor quickened her pace.
The male patient holding the knife was momentarily stunned by his shout.
