The Villain’s Wishes Backfire and the Protagonists Take the Hit - Chapter 6:

Chapter 6:

“Quick, quick! We already performed some basic first aid over there. He’s no longer in life-threatening danger!”

“Understood, hurry and move him onto the hospital bed!”

The doctors in the emergency room immediately got busy.

“Sigh, Chen Zhuo, if you’re not going to continue treatment, take these things with you. Also, pay the outstanding fees as soon as possible.”

After taking Jiang Qiuli’s documents and medical materials from the young doctor, Chen Zhuo walked out of the emergency room, a trace of confusion lingering in his mind.

Could it be that this Wish System not only granted critical rewards to the Son of Destiny, but also had other hidden benefits?

After leaving the emergency room, Chen Zhuo glanced at the documents in his hand.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Qiuli’s ID photo, completely unedited, actually looked slightly better than how she appeared in reality. Not necessarily prettier, but it carried a bit more vitality… the fresh energy of youth.

This photo must have been taken before her mother was diagnosed with cancer.

“December 23rd… her birthday is next month.”

As he walked, Chen Zhuo sank into thought.

Meanwhile, Jiang Qiuli was standing beside a uniformed police officer, who was holding a notebook and questioning her. She hadn’t noticed that Chen Zhuo had already come out.

“So you’re saying Chen Zhuo didn’t threaten you, and he even wanted to help you solve your job problem… that he’s a good person?” the officer asked.

“Mm.”

“He’s unconscious inside right now. You don’t need to hide anything from me, just tell the truth.”

“I… I already said everything.”

The police officer glanced at Jiang Qiuli. Her timid, fragile demeanor didn’t look like someone capable of lying.

Which meant… that person named Ye Fei had made a false report?

At this point, both parties had already encountered trouble, so pursuing responsibility didn’t seem meaningful. The officer sighed softly, then continued, “Then tell me, how did he faint?”

Jiang Qiuli shook her head, her voice trembling slightly, “I… I don’t know. I was talking to him, and while we were talking, he suddenly collapsed.”

“Then are you the one paying the medical expenses now?” the officer asked curiously as he put away his pen.

“Mm.”

“You have money?”

“I… I’ll go take a loan later.”

Her answer surprised even the officer, who was used to dealing with all kinds of trivial cases.

“But—”

He was about to say something when a male voice interrupted from behind, “I heard you’re planning to take a loan to support my treatment?”

Jiang Qiuli froze for a moment. The voice sounded familiar. She lifted her head, and what greeted her was Chen Zhuo’s handsome face.

“You’re awake?!”

Her eyes widened in surprise, mixed with a hint of joy.

Chen Zhuo nodded and said calmly, “You taking a loan to treat me really moved me. You don’t need to pay for these examination fees.”

He paused briefly, then changed his tone, “However, although I’m standing now, the doctors still haven’t found anything wrong with me. If something happens later, you’ll have to take responsibility.”

“Ah?”

Jiang Qiuli blinked, her mind unable to process his words for a moment.

The police officer stepped in, “Hello, you must be Chen Zhuo. Based on our investigation, we can’t confirm that this young lady caused your fainting.”

“Then you also can’t prove that she didn’t,” Chen Zhuo replied immediately.

He clearly remembered that there were no surveillance cameras in that area. So the truth… these officers would never be able to uncover it.

“This…”

The officer was momentarily speechless. Chen Zhuo’s reasoning wasn’t wrong.

Chen Zhuo continued, “Don’t worry, I’m not trying to extort anyone. If I wanted to, I’d already be asking her to pay for my examination fees right now.”

He softened his stance after making his point, giving the officer a way out.

After thinking it over carefully, the officer felt it made sense.

Jiang Qiuli herself had said that Chen Zhuo wanted to arrange a job for her… that he was a good person. Moreover, a third-year university student running a supermarket business didn’t seem like someone with bad intentions.

Wait…

A thought suddenly crossed the officer’s mind.

These two might already have feelings for each other.

And he… was acting like a third wheel.

The reasoning skills he had learned during his studies made this conclusion seem more and more plausible.

“Alright, since neither of you has any objections, I’ll leave it at that. If anything comes up, you can come find me again.”

After figuring out his role in the situation, the officer greeted them briefly and left.

Chen Zhuo handed the documents back to Jiang Qiuli and sighed, “You really are a foolish girl. You’d do anything reckless… taking a loan to pay for my treatment, only you would think of something like that.”

Jiang Qiuli looked into his eyes and said softly, “I… I couldn’t delay your condition.”

For a moment, Chen Zhuo felt a bit awkward. Somehow, that sentence sounded… a little strange the more he thought about it.

“Alright, I don’t feel any discomfort right now. It was probably just a temporary shutdown of my body,” Chen Zhuo said, then suddenly added, “By the way, do you know who was the one pushed in just now?”
