Chapter 48: Car Crash

Book:The All-powerful Son-In-Law Published:2024-6-3

Leo knew that the image of him in Sophia’s mind was already fixed. No matter how eloquent he was, she wouldn’t believe him. The only way to make her believe was to show her the truth.
Leo remained silent and just stepped on the gas pedal, as the traffic light at the intersection ahead had started the countdown from nine seconds.
Seeing Leo’s silence, Sophia knew that she had hurt his poor ego again. She changed the topic and asked, “You mentioned on the phone that you had something to tell me. Now, go ahead.”
As the car passed the pedestrian crossing, Leo replied, “I wanted to tell you that we should div…”
Before he could finish speaking, Leo suddenly slammed on the brakes, and their bodies lurched forward, followed by a loud crash.
The front of the Mercedes was severely impacted, and the whole car spun 90 degrees to the right. White smoke emerged from the engine, and the airbags deployed.
The Audi that collided with the Mercedes came from the left road and was traveling at a high speed. If Leo hadn’t reacted quickly and hit the brakes, the impact would have been much worse.
After the collision, the Audi flipped over and skidded on the road, with shattered glass from its windows scattered all around.
After being jolted by the airbag, Leo regained his senses and woke up Sophia, who was sitting in the passenger seat.
“Are you okay?” Leo asked with concern.
Sophia checked her body and shook her head, “I’m fine. How about you?”
“I’m fine too. Let’s get out of the car. Someone has hit our car,” Leo undid his seatbelt and got out of the driver’s seat.
Sophia also quickly unbuckled her seatbelt, got out of the car, and opened the trunk, taking out a tripod and placing it behind the car to avoid another accident.
Upon seeing the overturned Audi lying in the middle of the road, Sophia grabbed her phone, intending to call the police. However, she noticed Leo walking towards the Audi.
“Leo, what are you doing?” Sophia was anxious and stamped her foot. This guy always managed to cause trouble.
Just now Sophia was into their conversation and ignored the lights change at the intersection, so thought that Leo had run the red light, causing the accident.
Without hesitation, Leo approached the Audi, squatted down beside it, and reached out to open the door. He activated his spiritual power and pulled hard.
With a screeching sound of metal rubbing against metal, Leo forcibly opened the car door.
A disheveled woman covered in blood crawled out from inside. She looked at Leo with pleading eyes, “Anna, please save my Anna.”
Leo’s gaze shifted to the backseat of the car, where there seemed to be someone.
Opening the backseat door, Leo saw a little girl inside, covered in blood and motionless, seemingly lifeless.
The woman endured the pain, reached out, and snatched the lifeless little girl from Leo’s arms, calling out in agony, “Anna, Anna, wake up, don’t scare Mommy…”
After Sophia called the emergency services, the traffic police and ambulance quickly arrived at the scene. The doctors and nurses immediately examined the little girl.
One minute later, the doctor’s face showed regret as he shook his head with a hint of sorrow.
The woman understood the meaning behind the doctor’s action. Her blood-stained face became even more distraught and pained, and she cried out in a hoarse voice, “Doctor, please save my Anna, I beg you…”
The doctor still shook his head, helplessly saying, “Ma’am, I’m sorry, please accept my condolences.”
Hearing those words, the woman immediately fainted again.
The medical team quickly performed emergency treatment on her.
Sophia approached Leo, her eyes fixed on the lifeless little girl lying on the ground. An expression of heartache appeared on her face.
A life as vibrant as a fresh flower, lost due to a car accident, departed from this world just like that.
Leo’s eyes were locked on the girl as well, but he saw something different. There seemed to be a faint shadow floating around the surface of the girl’s body, as if it wanted to leave her.
This little girl… might still have a chance!
Leo hurried forward, then knelt down beside the girl and took out a small bag of silver needles he carried with him.
Leo reached up to lift the clothes from the little girl’s belly, and a nurse shouted, “What are you doing! ?”
‘I’m saving her!” Leo kept moving his hand, and he had already stuck a silver needle into a point in the little girl’s stomach.
“Leo, you’re crazy!” Sophia shouted. The doctor has already concluded that the little girl is dead, how dare this guy go up to acupuncture.
Sophia wanted to go up and pull Leo. In her opinion, Leo caused the car accident, and now he goes up to the little girl who has died. There is no guarantee that something will go wrong.
Soon, the traffic police arrived, they quickly put up a cordon, and then dispersed the crowd of onlookers.
“Do you think that young man can save the little girl?”
“I don’t think it’s possible. The doctor already concluded that the girl couldn’t be revived. It’s just a pipe dream to try to bring her back to life with some silver needles.”
“I wonder if the Audi’s owner was in a hurry to be reincarnated. They were driving so fast at a red light intersection and ended up killing her own child.”
The onlookers were kept behind the police cordon, but they couldn’t help discussing the accident.
At this time, the woman who had fainted earlier woke up under the doctor’s treatment. When she saw a man who wasn’t wearing like a doctor, but had needles in his hands, she shouted in panic, “What are you doing? Don’t use needles on Anna’s body!”
“If you want your daughter to survive, just keep quiet!” Leo turned his head and snapped at her with irritation.
The doctor was a middle-aged man who knew Chinese medicine as well. He didn’t stop Leo because he noticed that Leo’s acupuncture technique was very skilled, and the needle placement was precise, not random.
Therefore, he didn’t intervene, hoping that this young man might create a miracle.
Now, Sophia could only anxiously watch what was happening.
Leo inserted his final needle into a point on the little girl’s forehead. At this moment, she had been pierced with nine needles in total-six in her abdomen and three in her head.
This needle technique was called the Nine Reversals Resuscitation Needle, a method he had read about in an ancient medical book, capable of bringing the dead back to life.
However, using this technique had one condition-it had to be performed within three minutes of a person’s death, or even the god would be unable to revive them.
