It was Senior Cao. Xie Wanying blinked, confirming that the force that just helped her at a critical moment was from her senior.
"Be careful, I’ll do it." Cao Yong said to her, positioning his hands protectively in front of her body, clearly afraid she might get hurt.
Xie Wanying’s heart skipped a few beats and then calmed down as she nodded again, "Yes." She wondered why her senior hadn’t run to the minibus with the others.
"Where is Cao Yong?" Ren Chongda, who was running ahead, realized his old classmate was missing halfway. He looked back to find him. Shortly, he spotted his old classmate and saw who he had gone to help, and blinked rapidly, deciding not to call out to him.
Cao Yong thought that coming here to rescue anyone was the right thing to do. In such a situation, ensuring the safety of oneself and companions was paramount. Would he focus on others and neglect her? Of course not.
"Step aside."
Receiving the order from her senior, Xie Wanying stood to the side.
Cao Yong, with a crowbar he brought from his car, bent down, inserted it into a gap in the vehicle, and pried it open, allowing the tight space to loosen so they could extract the driver.
Compared to her, her senior displayed extensive and versatile on-site first aid experience, a true realist scholar. Watching and utilizing the time and opportunity to learn, Xie Wanying admired and acknowledged her own inadequacy.
While being watched by her, Cao Yong could imagine her mental activity and felt amused inside.
Good, the jammed car panel loosened, creating some space.
Carefully, the two of them leaned the trapped driver, slumped over the steering wheel, back against the seat. Xie Wanying placed her fingers on the driver’s neck to feel for a carotid pulse: Yes, there were signs of life. The driver was alive, contrary to what Zhang Wei had seen, mistakenly thinking the person with their head hanging was dead.
According to emergency rescue principles, the injured must first be moved to a safe location before providing aid. They were medical personnel, not firefighters, responsible for determining the victim’s condition to prioritize emergency treatment.
Zhang Wei, seeing them tending to the driver, worried about herself, said, "Xie Wanying, don’t just focus on rescuing him. Hurry over and save me, I’m the one who called you here."
Hearing this, one could imagine Zhang Wei had no emotional connection with this man, highlighting issues with the behavior of these two when they came to the bridal shop earlier. It’s possible Zhang Wei was trying to annoy her family by deliberately finding a man to look at bridal gowns. Xie Wanying always believed her tablemate’s words and actions were mostly out of spite.
"Don’t worry, it’s almost your turn." Xie Wanying reassured her, explaining that rescuers would follow the order of urgency, attending to the most critical cases first.
After she and her senior carried the driver to a safe place nearly a hundred meters from the car and laid him on the ground, they waited further for the ambulance to transport the injured. During this time, Cao Yong opened the emergency medical kit he brought, took out scissors, and cut away the bloodied clothing of the injured for a closer examination.
Her senior was busy rescuing someone here, and then he picked up the crowbar his senior left behind and ran back to the car to prepare to rescue her tablemate.
Cao Yong heard the sound, looked up, and saw her actions, recognizing her intention to imitate what he did. He smiled slightly, confident in her, and didn’t stop her.
With her senior’s demonstration and recalling some vehicle knowledge as a driver’s daughter, Xie Wanying quickly identified the car lock position on her tablemate’s side. Aligning the crowbar head at the spot, she inserted and pushed hard, with a snap, the car door opened by itself.
