Chapter 948 Stingy!
Qiu Qingbai's eyes widened suddenly, filled with lingering fear.
"So you weren't hurt, were you?"
"No, no, you can't imagine what happened. Mingrui and I were standing in front of a small shop on the street waiting for our child to get out of school when we heard a large group of people screaming in the distance. When we turned around, we saw a small truck rushing straight towards us."
“Mingrui and I both thought we were really doomed this time. Who would have thought that just as the car was about to reach us, an advertising sign from a nearby shop suddenly flew over and hit the car. The car was only two meters away from us, really only two meters. In the time it took to accelerate, we might have been gone.”
As Qiu Qingbai listened to Zhu Changning's description, his heart pounded in his chest.
"Mingrui and I stood there dumbfounded for a long time until the kindergarten security guard ran out and dragged the perpetrator out, and then we realized what had happened and helped subdue that idiot."
"Afterwards, the police arrived and found a grooved knife on that idiot. Goodness, it's a good thing he was stunned when he was arrested, otherwise he might have planned to hit someone, park the car, and stab them!"
Thinking about this, Zhu Changning couldn't help but want to jump up and down.
It turns out that Zhu Changning went out with Huang Mingrui to meet up with friends early this morning. Unlike Qiu Qingbo, they both have older brothers and sisters, so they don't need to inherit the company. If they work too hard, it will make people think that they have designs on the company, so they simply become second-generation rich kids who just want to live off the company.
I hold a cushy job at the company, working only 40 or 50 days a year. The rest of the time I'm either out eating and drinking or on my way to eat and drink.
Today, Zhu Changning's elder brother and sister-in-law were both busy and unable to pick up their daughter from school, so they entrusted this arduous and important task to Zhu Changning, who was the least busy member of the family.
Despite complaining and extorting a pick-up fee from her brother, Zhu Changning still obediently went to her niece's kindergarten to pick her up from school.
As a result, a problem arose when this connection was made!
The train driver deliberately chose this time and place.
Because it's right after kindergarten let out, parents are waiting outside, and most of the children will rush out at once.
His truck could easily knock down a large number of people as soon as it drove in.
Indeed, the victims he encountered on the street were mostly parents picking up their children.
According to his route at the time, if the billboard hadn't crashed down and stopped the car, he would have crashed into the busy gate after hitting Zhu Changning and the other person, and the casualties would have been far more than what they are now.
Whenever Zhu Changning thought about how his little niece and so many other children had almost been harmed by this thing, he felt an urge to drive his car in the opposite direction and run that person over.
Huang Mingrui watched as Zhu Changning became so angry that she forgot the purpose of her call. He sighed helplessly and snatched the phone away: "Afterwards, we remembered what you had told us before, and we also remembered the amulet you gave us. When we took it out of our pockets, we found that both amulets had turned to ash. That's when we realized that the billboard falling down might not have been a coincidence."
Zhu Changning chimed in, not wanting to be left out, "Yeah, yeah, yeah, luckily I'm still wearing the same jacket I wore when I saw you before, and I didn't take the talisman out of my pocket, otherwise who knows what might have happened!"
As Zhu Changning spoke, he couldn't help but pat his chest, feeling both relieved and frightened.
Qiu Qingbo also breathed a sigh of relief: "It's good that you're all alright."
"It's nothing, it's nothing. The child was just a little frightened. My brother and the others just took him home to rest."
Qiu Qingbai raised an eyebrow: "You guys didn't go back with us?"
"Aren't we also helping to take statements and act as eyewitnesses? And then..."
"Um?"
"We just wanted to ask you, do you still have that amulet? We've been brothers for so many years, sharing joys and sorrows. This is such a good thing, don't you think..."
Qiu Qingbai: "..." Good heavens! She's eyeing those talismans in his hand!
Perhaps because Qiu Qingbai had been silent for too long, Zhu Changning also felt a little guilty and quickly added, "It's okay if you don't have one, but could you introduce me to that master? We want to buy from her."
Qiu Qingbo remained silent for a long while before finally saying, "An introduction is fine, but before that..."
Zhu Changning and his companion perked up their ears: "What? We're like family, just tell me what you want!"
"Let's settle the accounts for the talisman you used first. It's worth 100,000 per talisman. I even paid for it in advance."
Zhu Changning and Huang Mingrui: "..." Stingy!
At that time, Ye Wanxi was unaware that someone had set their sights on her amulet again. The incident that Zhu Changning and the other person had encountered was soon reported in the news.
Although the car was stopped by an advertising board as it rushed toward Zhu Changning and his group, preventing more serious consequences, the perpetrator had already hit many people before that.
The injured were rushed to the hospital, and most of them survived. However, five or six people either died on the spot or passed away despite all efforts to save them.
Because it involved human lives, and the other party's ultimate goal was a child who had no ability to resist, the comments were full of condemnation and curses against this dangerous individual.
Gao Min had just finished tidying up the table when she saw this news article, and her face immediately darkened: "What's wrong with people these days? One or two of them are so extreme. If they're having a hard time and want to die, why don't they find a secluded place and hang themselves? Why do they have to harm other people? And they specifically target children."
"If I remember correctly, there was a serial killer before the new year who went to a school to stab people, right? What did the kids do to deserve being harmed by these lunatics? Seriously, aren't they afraid of being struck by lightning?"
Hearing Gao Min's complaints from the side, Qiu Yuerong whispered, "This person actually intended to do the same thing. It's said that a knife was found on him after he was arrested, but he was caught before he even got to the door. That's why the knife wasn't used."
Upon hearing this, Gao Min couldn't help but pat her chest, her face full of relief, and said, "Thank goodness I was caught. Heaven has eyes, heaven has eyes."
Ye Wanxi also saw the news and sighed, thinking of the two peace charms she had sold before.
Although the damage from the incident has been minimized, there have still been casualties.
What Ye Wanxi didn't notice was that while she was looking down at the report, Qiu Yuerong was also secretly watching her, hesitant to speak.
After a long pause, she seemed to have made up her mind and tentatively called out, "Sister Ye... Sister Ye."
Ye Wanxi looked up at her: "Hmm? What's wrong?"
Qiu Yuerong met her gaze, subconsciously tightened her grip on her pants, and whispered, "Can I ask you for a favor?"
