138: He deserves to be rich

The situation reversed in an instant. Clearly, she was the kind-hearted person who couldn't stand by and was the first to suggest saving someone, yet now she was being accused in turn by those cold-hearted people. The middle-aged woman felt aggrieved in her heart, and her hand, pointing at the crowd, trembled with anger.

But hearing others turn around and tell her to save the person, and seeing the trembling old man on the ground, the middle-aged woman's feet refused to move a single step forward, no matter what.

"I'm in a rush to get home right now, how would I have time to save anyone!"

"When you were just shouting for everyone to save him, you weren't in a rush, but now that it's your turn to save him, you say you're in a rush to get home?"

The cold sarcasm in the mouths of a few people, combined with the undisguised disdain on their faces, made the middle-aged woman's face flush with a mix of green and red from anger.

The onlookers were rowdy and noisy, while the old man on the ground had trembling lips but couldn't make a sound; the two scenes formed a microcosm of society.

Just as the crowd was arguing endlessly, forgetting that there was still an old man lying on the ground, Ye Su had already stepped forward, slowly helping the old man up and patting his back to help him catch his breath:

"Sir, are you okay? Can you hear me?"

The old man's lips trembled, but before he could make a sound, the middle-aged woman nearby saw someone helping him up and instantly regained her momentum, pointing accusingly at the crowd again:

"Look at that! That young man in his early twenties knows to step forward and help when he sees an old man collapsed on the ground! And look at you all! Society is so cold-hearted now, it's all because of people like you!"

"Can you stop arguing!" Ye Su felt that this middle-aged woman was just too annoying.

His loud shout caused the middle-aged woman's next words to get stuck in her throat, and her face turned bright red from holding them back.

"If you aren't going to help, then stop screaming and shouting on the sidelines, getting in the way of those who are actually trying to help, alright!"

"Exactly, she hasn't lifted a finger, hasn't even moved an inch, yet her mouth hasn't stopped from start to finish. Someone who didn't know better would think she had done a lot."

Even though she hadn't done anything substantial, she took it for granted that she was on the same side as Ye Su, a rescuer.

Now that she had been shouted at by Ye Su, the onlookers were pointing at her again. The middle-aged woman couldn't stay any longer, muttering things like "These young people nowadays," and turned to leave quickly.

As for first aid knowledge, Ye Su only knew CPR, but given the current situation, it was clearly not the time for CPR.

Hearing the old man groaning, but unable to hear what he was saying, Ye Su had no choice but to pick him up, preparing to take him to the hospital for a check-up.

Seeing that Ye Su intended to take the person to the hospital, the man who had just led the counter-argument against the middle-aged woman couldn't help but remind Ye Su:

"Brother, you need to be careful, don't get scammed!"

Upon hearing this, the old man's groans became a little heavier, and his lifted eyelids looked helplessly at Ye Su, appearing as if he wanted to clarify that he was definitely not one of those old people who scam others.

"Alright, I know, thanks for the reminder, brother."

Seeing that Ye Su insisted on helping, the man stopped trying to stop him:

"I just recorded a video, which can prove that the old man collapsed here by himself and it has nothing to do with you. Why don't you take down my phone number? If there are any disputes later, you can call me, and I can testify for you."

"Okay." Ye Su didn't refuse.

Although the man in front of him didn't help save the person, in Ye Su's view, his actions were infinitely better than the middle-aged woman who had just been driven away.

To the old man, the man might not count as a good person, but from his own perspective, the man who proactively offered to testify for him could definitely be considered a good person.

After leaving his number, Ye Su thanked him again before helping the old man into the car and driving towards the nearest hospital.

Watching the Audi speed away, the few people couldn't help but exclaim:

"He's so young and already driving an Audi; his family must be quite wealthy. No wonder he dared to help the old man!"

"Just for the fact that he took the initiative to save someone, he deserves to be rich!"

The few people who had just filmed the video also reacted, posting it to a short video platform, intending to take the opportunity to ride the wave of traffic.

...

On the other side, Ye Su pressed the gas pedal a few times and brought the old man to the hospital.

After handing the old man over to the nurses, he got the test forms from the doctor and went to the counter to pay the fees.

After paying the fees and waiting for a while back at the doctor's office, the old man, who had regained some consciousness, walked out from behind the curtain with the doctor.

Upon seeing Ye Su, the old man's cloudy eyes immediately widened. He took a few quick steps forward, excitedly gripping Ye Su's hand: "Handsome guy, thank you!"

The elderly man was physically weak; his grip on Ye Su's hand didn't feel like it had much strength.

Fearing that the old man might get too excited and have another mishap, Ye Su had to comfort him: "It's nothing, just a small favor, nothing to thank me for. You should sit down and rest for a while."

The doctor also noticed something amiss and asked: "You aren't the old man's family member?"

"No!" Before Ye Su could speak, the old man already explained: "I just collapsed on the road, and this Handsome guy brought me to the hospital. He is a good person!"

Being introduced as a good person so excitedly by the old man, Ye Su felt a strange sensation in his heart, followed by a feeling of embarrassment.

If it weren't for the intelligence reminder that he would receive a heavy reward after saving the old man, and that he was unwilling to give up a piece of level-three intelligence, he wouldn't have rushed to save someone in the middle of the night.

Hearing that Ye Su was doing a good deed, the doctor's attitude improved a bit:

"The old man is fine, it's just a bit of hypoglycemia. He probably didn't eat on time and went out alone in the middle of the night, which is why he suddenly collapsed. I'll prescribe a bottle of glucose for him; after he drinks it and goes back to rest, he'll be fine."

The doctor added a word of advice: "Sir, remember to eat on time in the future, and don't go out alone so late at night. This time you were lucky to meet a kind-hearted person who brought you to the hospital, otherwise, an accident might have happened."

If this happens again next time and no one helps bring you to the hospital, leaving you lying outside for a whole night, it's very likely that an accident will occur."

"I know, Doctor."

"Do you need us to help you contact your family and have them come pick you up?"

The old man's eyes dimmed, but he immediately returned to normal: "No need, Doctor, I live nearby, I'll just walk back myself later."

"Are you sure? I suggest it would be better to have your family come pick you up."

"No need!" The old man seemed somewhat agitated.

Seeing this, Ye Su assumed that the old man was the type of person who lived alone, whose children were busy with work and ignored him, not visiting him on regular days.

"Doctor, it's fine, I drove here, I'll just take the old man home later."

Having been a doctor for so many years, he had seen all kinds of patients and could tell that the old man was unwilling to mention his family, implying there must be some hidden story.

Since Ye Su said he would take the old man back, the doctor naturally stopped looking for trouble for himself:

"Alright, I'll prescribe a few bottles of glucose for you; just go to the counter and pay the fees."

"Okay."

Ye Su helped the old man up, and after paying, he collected two bottles of glucose, then followed the address given by the old man and took him to Building 18, Room 1302 of Jun'an Residential Area.
