Chapter 529: Death Notice
what?
Has Xia Yang gotten into trouble?
Upon hearing this, Xia's father was first shocked and turned pale. Then, as if he had thought of something, he snorted coldly and cursed into the phone, "You damn liar! You've tried to fool your own father! You son of a bitch! Do you really think I've been eating rice for nothing all these years?"
Xia's father isn't stupid; he's seen countless news reports about these kinds of scams in recent years.
Those scammers wanted to scam him?
no way!
After saying that, Xia's father slammed down the phone.
Xia's mother immediately asked, "What happened?"
Xia's father replied, "He's just a damn liar! He lied to me, saying that Yangyang had been in a car accident and asked me to transfer 50 yuan to him."
"These scammers are so brazen these days! They're really taking advantage of us old folks in the countryside!" If it were those uneducated old folks in the countryside, they probably would have fallen for their tricks long ago.
pity.
They are an intellectual family, so they wouldn't fall for such a trick.
Beep beep beep--
Just then, the phone rang again.
It was that same overseas call from before.
Xia's father hung up immediately.
Less than three seconds later, the phone rang again.
'Perseverance'.
Mr. Xia immediately flew into a rage, answered the phone, and said angrily, "You unlucky bastard, are you trying to get yourself killed? If you call again, your whole family will suffer a terrible fate!"
"Uncle, I'm not a liar, Xia Yang, he..."
Before the other end of the line could finish speaking, Xia's father hung up the phone again.
After hanging up the phone, Xia's father immediately blacklisted the other party's number.
You little bastard!
Do you really think he's a vegetarian?
Another hour passed.
Xia's parents were preparing lunch.
Xia's mother's phone rang with a WeChat video call.
Xia's father asked curiously, "Who called?"
Xia Ying used to love video calls, but since her accident, the two of them haven't heard that voice for a long time.
Xia's mother picked up her phone, then smiled and said, "Old Xia, how do you guess who it is?"
"Who is it?" Xia's father asked immediately.
"It's Yangyang calling." After saying that, Xia's mother answered the video call.
"Hey, Yangyang!"
Before the other end could speak, Xia's mother began to complain, "Yangyang, let me tell you, a scammer kept calling, saying you were in a car accident and hospitalized, and that your condition is very serious! Luckily, your dad and I reacted quickly! Otherwise, we would have been scammed..."
Before Xia's mother could finish speaking, the camera switched to show a young man lying on a hospital bed.
Although he was wearing an oxygen mask, Xia's mother recognized Xia Yang lying on the bed at a glance.
Xia's mother's face changed immediately, and she said anxiously, "Yangyang! Yangyang, what's wrong with you!"
Then, the camera shifts.
Another young man's face appeared on the screen. "Hello, Auntie, I'm Xia Yang's classmate here. My name is Li Bin. I just contacted Uncle with my own phone, but he thought I was a scammer and hung up."
"Xia Yang's condition is extremely critical; he needs surgery immediately!"
Because Xia's father had blocked his phone number, Li Bin tried many methods before finally getting hold of Xia Yang's phone.
Xia's mother's face turned deathly pale instantly, and she could barely utter a word.
Xia's father snatched Xia's mother's phone away.
"Where's Yangyang? Let me see Yangyang!"
I've heard that AI technology is very advanced now and can synthesize human images.
Before seeing his son with his own eyes, Xia's father could not believe that his son had been in an accident.
Li Bin then turned the camera around.
quickly,
Then Xia's father saw Xia Yang.
At that moment, Xia's father's heart sank into an ice cellar.
Although AI technology is very mature now, it is not yet mature to that extent.
"Yangyang! Yangyang! Yangyang, what's wrong? It's your dad!" Xia's father's tears fell almost instantly.
Xia Yang lay on the hospital bed, offering no response.
Li Bin's voice rang out at this moment, "Uncle, the doctor said that Xia Yang has intracranial hemorrhage, and he can't answer you right now."
"Your most important task right now is to send the surgery fees over as soon as possible, otherwise, the doctor said that Xia Yang may stop breathing at any time."
Stop breathing?
Hear the words.
Xia's father was even more distressed than if his son had died once. He hurriedly asked, "Where is the driver who caused the accident? He hit Yangyang like this, and he's not going to pay a single penny?"
Xia Yang spent a lot of money studying abroad, and they only have about 200,000 yuan left. They simply can't come up with 500,000 yuan all at once.
Li Bin continued, "Xia Yang crashed into the guardrail on his motorcycle; there was no other driver involved."
Did it run into the guardrail by itself?
When Xia's parents heard this, it felt like the sky had fallen.
Although Xia Yang liked playing with motorcycles at home, he was always a sensible child and would never crash into the guardrail.
Xia's mother cried, "Someone must be trying to harm our Yangyang! Li Bin, have you called the police? Are there any security cameras at the scene? We want to see the footage!"
“There is surveillance footage.” Li Bin continued, “Uncle and Aunt, I will send the surveillance video of the incident to WeChat in a while. However, the most important thing now is to raise the money for the surgery so that Xia Yang can have the operation.”
Mr. Xia then asked, "Can we have the surgery first and then pay the fees?"
“No,” Li Bin shook his head, “This isn’t China. Even if it costs a penny less, the hospital won’t perform the surgery on Xia Yang!”
As soon as he finished speaking,
Xia's mother fainted.
"Yangyang's mom!"
The Xia family was thrown into chaos by this sudden turn of events.
After Xia's mother woke up, she and Xia's father made phone calls to raise money.
They only have 200,000 yuan on hand right now. Because of their bad character, they made a lot of phone calls and contacted more than 30 people before they were able to borrow 100,000 yuan.
After raising 300,000 yuan, Xia's father dialed Li Bin's number again.
“Li Bin, we’ve raised 300,000 yuan now. Could you please ask the hospital to make an exception and let Yangyang have the surgery first? We’ll sell the house to raise the remaining 200,000 yuan.”
Whether selling a house or taking out a loan, it requires going through a process of approval, and the funds cannot be received in a short period of time.
Li Bin sighed, "Uncle, it's not that I don't want to help, but foreign hospitals only care about money and not people! If you don't believe me, I'll give the phone to the doctor and you can communicate with him yourself."
After saying that, Li Bin handed his phone to Xia Yang's attending physician.
The attending physician speaks Chinese, so the two can communicate normally. "Doctor, doctor, please save my son first! Don't worry, I will definitely raise the medical expenses as soon as possible."
"Excuse me, sir, our hospital has a policy that you must raise the medical fees before you can have the surgery!"
"Doctor, I'm begging you on my knees!"
"Excuse me, sir, I'm very busy!" After saying that, he handed the phone to Li Bin.
Li Bin took the phone, his face full of bitterness, and said, "Uncle, you heard it, right? It's really not that I don't want to help you..."
Having no other option, Xia's father hung up the phone and continued trying to raise money.
In just a few hours, Xia's parents looked as if they had aged ten years.
The son's condition is critical; every second wasted now is a threat to his life.
After running around all day, Xia's parents finally managed to raise the remaining 200,000 yuan. They then called Li Bin and said, "Li Bin, we've raised 500,000 yuan for the surgery! It's already been transferred to Yangyang's account. Please have the doctor arrange for Yangyang to have the surgery done as soon as possible."
There was a moment of silence on Li Bin's end, then he said, "Uncle and Aunt, I... I was just about to contact you."
"Xia, Xia Yang passed away a minute ago because he missed the best time for rescue."
