When the ambulance and the police cars arrived, Ye Que had already passed out.
Chi Zaozao had been by his side the whole time, tightly holding his hand until the ambulance took him to the hospital, until the stretcher was pushed into the emergency room.
She stood at the doorway of the emergency room, trembling as she dialed the Ye couple's number with shaking hands, while tears poured down her face.
After the call, she squatted alone in the corner, sobbing uncontrollably.
The first to arrive at the hospital was Tang Shichu. Seeing Chi Zaozao, he hurried over and grabbed her, asking, "What happened? How did Que get shot?"
Chi Zaozao sobbed twice, looked up at the tall man before her, and choked out, "It was a taxi driver. He took us to the outskirts intending to rob us, and that's why this happened. Brother Shichu, he's been shot, in the back, is he going to die?"
