Chapter 462: 256 Rejection Afterwards (Third Update)

Fang Yuxin stood by the car and could clearly see the situation inside. A middle-aged woman lay crumpled in the back seat, her body pitifully tucked into a ball, her face twisted in agony, with pained, muffled whimpers emanating from her mouth, which bit down on a towel.

She looked at this woman, and a sudden surge of admiration filled her heart. In such extreme pain, the woman still managed to contain herself, preventing her screams from disturbing others, and she did not recklessly seek her and Bai Ye’s help for rescue. She couldn’t help but respect this kind of person.

Even though the woman was older and her physical talents were not strong, she was still respectable and someone worth Yuxin’s help.

Thinking this, Fang Yuxin bent down, leaned into the car, and placed her hand over the woman’s heart, quietly infusing a refined strand of Wood Energy. Upon sensing her heartbeat strengthening and vitality returning, Yuxin discreetly withdrew her hand and telepathically conveyed to the woman, "If you don’t want to die, hang in there and don’t give up."

After speaking, she exited the car and shook her head toward the young man, saying matter-of-factly, "I can’t save her, prepare yourself mentally."

She didn’t wait for the young man’s face, which turned instantly pale, nor did she notice the sudden disappointment that flashed across the faces of the other onlookers. She turned and walked away.

But the young man couldn’t bear such a blow. He suddenly rushed in front of Fang Yuxin, yelling at her, "You’re so powerful, how can you not save my aunt? Don’t you want to save her? Is that it?" Dropping to his knees, he continued, "Please, save my aunt. She’s my only family left! I’m willing to do anything for you, just save her!"

Fang Yuxin remained unmoved; she had done what she could, and even if the young man remained on his knees, she would bear no guilt. She tried to walk around him, but the young man seemed desperate, trying to grab her.

At that moment, Bai Ye rushed over and kicked the young man away, controlling his strength so as not to kill or seriously injure him, but enough to teach him a lesson.

The young man was flung to the ground, his back scraping against the pavement. He felt as though he had been struck by a heavy hammer and took a long while to recover.

By then, everyone’s eyes were on them. None dared to seek justice for the youth after Bai Ye’s sudden intervention. They were not fools; it was clear the man had brought it upon himself.

Bai Ye, feeling their gazes, looked back coldly and then at the young man, asking icily, "You came from another safe base, didn’t you? So, tell me, have you ever seen anyone cure an infected person? If not, what makes you think Xinxin could definitely save your aunt?" After a cold snort, disregarding the young man’s forlorn expression, he pulled Fang Yuxin away.

As they walked, he murmured, "Since we’ve already saved them, let’s leave now."

Fang Yuxin hesitated only a moment before nodding. If these people were smart enough, they would follow them by car. If they lacked even that awareness, there was no point wasting more effort to save them.

They had already saved these people’s lives and shared their food and water; they had done their duty and didn’t need to serve as unpaid bodyguards.

Seeing them start the car and prepare to leave, the others panicked, quickly got into their cars, and prepared to follow. Even the young man climbed up from the ground and got into the driver’s seat, speeding off in the car.

A grandfather and grandson looked at their own battered car, then glanced at the other father and daughter’s vehicle. After a moment’s hesitation, they decisively gathered their belongings and approached the father and daughter’s car.

The pair opened the door and saw the man sitting in the seat, agony written across his face, explained their situation, "Our car is too broken, can we squeeze in with you?"

At that time, the man was enduring bitter pain but he recognized the grandfather and grandson and appreciated their good intentions. He couldn’t drive in his current state, and without help, he and his daughter would be stranded here.

Thus, he nodded with difficulty, expressing his gratitude with his eyes.

The grandfather and grandson smiled, cheerily placing their belongings in the car, swiftly opened the driver’s door, sat in the front seat, and sped off.
