Chapter 258 - chapter 257

As they entered the palace, the news of the accident had spread. The guests, their faces a mixture of shock and concern, gathered in small groups, discussing the tragic event.

Prince Yi, his expression grave, approached Wu Xiufan. "Is it the same Yu Xuan we met at the race?" he asked, his voice filled with disbelief.

Wu Xiufan nodded, his face etched with sadness. "Yes, Your Highness," he replied. "He was involved in a car accident."

The Prince's eyes widened. "Is he alright?" he asked, his voice filled with concern.

Wu Xiufan shook his head. "His condition is critical," he replied.

The Prince's face paled. The Yu family, while no longer as influential as they once were, were still a respected name in the city. A tragedy involving one of their members would have far-reaching consequences.

"We must do something," the Prince said, his voice filled with determination. "We cannot let him die."

Wu Xiufan nodded. "I agree," he replied. "I will send someone to the hospital to monitor his condition."

As they made their way through the palace, Alex's mind was consumed by the tragedy. Yu Xuan, once a rival, had become a victim. The events of the day had taken a dark turn, a stark reminder of the fragility of life.

Alex, his heart heavy, approached Wu Xiufan. "I want to go to the hospital," he said, his voice barely a whisper.

Wu Xiufan nodded, understanding his desire to help. "I will accompany you," he replied.

Together, last time they left the palace, their minds filled with the image of the injured young man. The city, once buzzing with excitement, now seemed shrouded in a pall of sadness. The tragedy had cast a long shadow, a reminder of the fragility of life.

As Wu Xiufan and Alex arrived at the scene of the accident, their hearts sank. The scene was a stark reminder of the fragility of life, the consequences of carelessness and recklessness.

The hovercars, mangled and twisted, were a testament to the force of the impact. The once sleek and elegant vehicles were now unrecognizable, reduced to a pile of twisted metal.

The injured victims, their bodies covered in blood, lay on the ground, their faces etched with pain. The guards, their faces grim, were doing their best to provide medical assistance.

Alex's heart ached as he approached the scene. He had witnessed accidents before, but this was different. This was personal. Yu Xuan, once a rival, was now a victim, a casualty of the dangerous game they were all playing.

Wu Xiufan, his expression somber, knelt beside the injured man. He checked his vitals, his movements efficient and precise. Alex, his heart pounding, watched helplessly. He wanted to help, but he knew he was not qualified to provide medical assistance.

A team of paramedics arrived, their faces etched with concern. They quickly assessed the situation, their movements efficient and coordinated. The injured victims were loaded onto stretchers, their bodies covered in blankets.

Alex followed the paramedics as they carried Yu Xuan away. He watched the young man's face, his eyes closed, his breathing shallow. A sense of dread washed over him. He had witnessed the rise and fall of Yu Xuan, his transformation from a confident young man to a broken victim.

The accident had been a tragedy, a stark reminder of the fragility of life. It was a wake-up call, a warning that the pursuit of power and prestige could have devastating consequences.

As Alex watched the paramedics carry Yu Xuan away, he made a silent promise. He would do everything in his power to ensure that Yu Xuan received the best possible care. He would not let this young man die

As Alex knelt beside Yu Xuan, the young man's eyes fluttered open. He let out a groan of pain, his face contorted in agony. His body was covered in blood, his clothes torn and dirty.

Yu Xuan's eyes widened as he recognized Alex. A wave of fear washed over his face, his voice a hoarse whisper. "What do you want?"

Alex, his heart heavy, ignored the question. He reached into his medical kit, his movements gentle. "I'm going to check your injuries," he said, his voice calm.

Yu Xuan tried to pull away, but his movements were weak and feeble. He was trapped, helpless.

Wu Xiufan, his expression grim, watched the scene unfold. He knew that Yu Xuan was in pain, but he also knew that Alex was trying to help.

Alex carefully examined Yu Xuan's wounds, his face a mask of concern. The young man's injuries were severe, but he was still alive.

"He needs medical attention immediately," Alex said, his voice filled with urgency.

Wu Xiufan nodded, his eyes filled with sadness. "I will arrange for his transfer to the hospital," he replied.

As the paramedics prepared to move Yu Xuan, the young man's eyes filled with fear. He looked at Alex, his voice a desperate plea. "Don't let me die," he said.

Alex's heart ached. He knew that Yu Xuan was terrified, his fear a reflection of his own mortality.

"I won't let you die," Alex replied, his voice filled with determination.

As the paramedics carried Yu Xuan away, Alex watched him go, his heart heavy with sadness. The young man, once a symbol of arrogance and entitlement, was now a broken victim. It was a stark reminder of the fragility of life, the consequences of reckless ambition.

Wu Xiufan, his expression somber, turned to Alex. "Let's go," he said, his voice low.

Alex nodded, his mind racing. He had witnessed the human cost of greed, the devastation it could wreak. The image of Yu Xuan, lying injured on the ground, would haunt him for years to come.

As the paramedics prepared to transport Yu Xuan to the hospital, the young man's fear and desperation reached a fever pitch. He struggled against the guards' restraint, his cries for help echoing through the scene.

"Let me go!" he screamed, his voice raspy and hoarse. "He's going to kill me!"

Alex, his heart heavy, watched the scene unfold. Yu Xuan's fear was palpable, a stark contrast to the arrogance he had displayed earlier. The young man, once a symbol of power and privilege, was now a broken victim, his life hanging by a thread.

Wu Xiufan, his expression unreadable, observed the scene from a distance. He knew that Yu Xuan's fear was irrational, a product of his own guilt and paranoia. But he also understood the young man's desperation.

As the paramedics lifted Yu Xuan onto the stretcher, the young man's eyes locked with Alex's. His face was contorted with fear and pain, his eyes filled with a desperate plea for help.

Alex nodded, a silent promise. He would do everything in his power to ensure that Yu Xuan received the medical attention he needed.

As the paramedics carried Yu Xuan away, Alex watched him go, his heart heavy with sadness. The tragedy of Yu Xuan's fate had left a deep mark on him. He had witnessed firsthand the consequences of unchecked ambition, the devastation it could wreak.

The crowd, their initial shock giving way to a sense of unease, dispersed. The scene of the accident, the tragedy of Yu Xuan's injuries, had left a lasting impression. It was a stark reminder of the fragility of life, the dangers lurking beneath the surface.

Wu Xiufan, his expression somber, turned to Alex. "Let's go," he said, his voice low.

Alex nodded, his mind racing. The events of the day had taken a toll on him, leaving him feeling drained and exhausted. But he knew that his work was far from over. The battle for justice had just begun.

As they walked away from the scene, Alex glanced back at the place where Yu Xuan had been injured. The image of the young man, his face contorted in pain, would haunt him for years to come.

As Alex and Wu Xiufan walked away from the scene of the accident, the weight of the events hung heavy in the air. The tragedy of Yu Xuan's injuries had cast a long shadow, a stark reminder of the fragility of life.

The city, once buzzing with excitement, now seemed shrouded in a pall of sadness. The accident had shattered the illusion of safety, revealing the dangers lurking beneath the surface.

Alex, his mind consumed by the events of the day, was lost in thought. He had witnessed firsthand the consequences of recklessness, the devastation it could wreak. Yu Xuan, once a symbol of arrogance and entitlement, was now a broken victim, a casualty of his own ambition.

Wu Xiufan, sensing Alex's distress, placed a comforting hand on his shoulder. "It's going to be alright," he said, his voice low.

Alex nodded, his eyes filled with a mixture of sadness and anger. He was angry at Yu Xuan, for his reckless behavior, for the pain he had caused. But he was also sad, for the young man, for the life he had ruined.

As they reached the palace, the weight of the day seemed to lift slightly. The familiar surroundings offered a sense of comfort, a respite from the chaos of the outside world.

The palace was bustling with activity, the guests preparing for the evening's festivities. Alex and Wu Xiufan made their way through the crowd, their presence drawing attention.

The Prince, his face a mask of concern, approached them. "How is he?" he asked, his voice filled with sympathy.

Wu Xiufan shook his head. "His condition is critical," he replied. "He needs immediate medical attention."

The Prince nodded, his expression grave. "We will do everything we can," he said.

As Alex and Wu Xiufan made their way to the banquet hall, the weight of the day seemed to lighten. The festivities, the music, the laughter, offered a temporary escape from the harsh realities of life.

But as they sat down at the table, Alex's mind was consumed by the image of Yu Xuan, lying injured on the ground. The tragedy had left a deep mark on him, a reminder of the fragility of life, the dangers lurking beneath the surface.
