Chapter 552 Knowing it was dangerous, why did you still rush in?
Qiao Hong was already annoyed by Qiao Ying's antics, and with people around him pointing and whispering about him, and some even taking pictures with their phones, Xu Meimei's words were undoubtedly the final fuse.
Qiao Hong gritted his teeth, hardened his heart, gripped the steering wheel, stepped on the gas, and sped straight toward Qiao Ying.
The moment Qiao Ying saw Qiao Hong's car rushing towards her, her eyes widened instantly.
Her mind went blank. She didn't know if it was fear or disbelief that Qiao Hong would actually disregard her life and death and actually crash into her.
He actually tried to kill his own daughter!
Qiao Ying stood still.
Qiao Hong didn't expect that she was actually not afraid. Just as the car was about to hit Qiao Ying, Qiao Hong suddenly turned the steering wheel, and the car and Qiao Ying passed each other.
Qiao Hong breathed a sigh of relief when he saw in the rearview mirror that Qiao Ying was alright.
However, the next second, a series of urgent horn blared.
"Xi Xi!"
Qiao Xing originally wanted to greet Xi Xi, but suddenly she noticed that a truck and a car were driving towards her from the left and right sides at the same time.
"Watch out!" Qiao Xing quickly pulled Xi Xi back.
Before Xixi could react, she felt a gust of wind sweep past her eyes, and then she saw Qiao Xing's anxious expression. "Are you alright?"
Just as Xixi was about to speak, a loud bang was heard.
The car just now crashed straight into a pillar on the side of the road.
The car's windshield shattered, the engine caught fire, and thick smoke billowed out.
Qiao Xing came to his senses and realized that the car was actually Qiao Hong's car.
At the same time, another truck also came to a stop with a screeching sound of brakes. Fortunately, the truck did not crash into anything else, but as soon as it stopped, the driver hurriedly jumped out of the truck.
"I hit someone! I hit someone! I hit someone!"
The driver was frantic, constantly patting his pockets, trying to reach for his phone to call the police, but he couldn't get his hand into his pockets no matter how hard he tried.
On the other side, the smoke in Qiao Hong's car grew thicker and thicker. Someone called the police, and someone else shouted for help.
Qiao Xing patted the stunned Xi Xi and said to her, "Xi Xi?"
Seeing this scene, Xixi's shoulders trembled with fear. She came to her senses, looked down at her hands, and shook her head.
The driver also remembered that he wanted to call the police, but after frantically searching for his phone, he found it was switched off. He almost burst into tears.
Seeing this, Xixi quickly ran over, took out her phone, and said, "Use mine..."
"Okay, okay!"
He quickly dialed the emergency number. Xi Xi turned her head and saw the girl lying on the ground. She looked very painful and kept saying, "It hurts, it hurts so much..."
Xi Xi squatted down beside her, not daring to touch her, unsure of what she could do, and could only softly comfort her, "The doctor will be here soon..."
Many passersby had already gathered around Qiao Hong's car, trying to help, but the car door was jammed too tightly and they couldn't pull it open at all.
Through the billowing smoke, Qiao Xing could vaguely make out that there was more than just Qiao Hong in the car; there was also a woman in the passenger seat.
Seeing that the car was about to catch fire, Qiao Xing wanted to help.
But before she could even get close to the car, her arm was grabbed from behind. Qiao Xing turned her head sharply, "Qin Ce?"
Qin Ce was dressed in a suit, looking like he had just returned from the company. He pulled Qiao Xing to the side of the road and said in a deep voice, "Stand here and don't move."
Then, he turned around, took off his coat, and his clean white shirt stood out starkly against the thick black smoke.
He pulled aside the passersby who wanted to help but couldn't, grabbed the door handle with one hand, found a foothold, and with the help of the other two men, pulled open the car door.
At the same time, the sirens of ambulances and police cars rang out. Qin Ce unbuckled Qiao Hong's seatbelt and pulled him out of the car, while Xu Meimei on the other side was also rescued by others.
Fortunately, both of them were wearing seat belts, and at the critical moment, the car's airbags deployed, saving their lives.
Qiao Hong and Xu Meimei were both put into ambulances. Only then did Qiao Xing remember Xi Xi, and she quickly ran towards the direction of the truck.
"Xixi, are you alright?"
Seeing Qiao Xing, Xi Xi felt much more at ease. She shook her head and said, "It's nothing."
The doctor was treating the wounds of the injured person on the ground. Qiao Xing looked at the scene and immediately felt that it was very familiar.
Isn't this Qiao Hong and his current wife's daughter?
Qiao Xing didn't remember her name, but he recognized her because he had seen her in Qiao Ying's WeChat Moments before.
Qiao Xing watched as she and Qiao Hong were put into ambulances one after the other, not understanding what had happened and how they could both be in car accidents at the same time.
As the ambulance left and the crowd dispersed, Qiao Xing was still trying to figure out what had happened when Qin Ce's voice suddenly rang out behind her.
"Qiao Xing".
Qiao Xing turned around and saw that his once clean shirt was now filthy, and even his face was covered in black grime.
Qiao Xing instinctively wanted to laugh, but seeing his tense expression, she quickly suppressed the thought.
She recalled the harrowing moment he had just rescued the person, and pulled up his arm to check if he was injured. "Are you alright?"
Qin Ce remained silent.
Qiao Xing breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that he had no wounds. "That was too dangerous. If it had been any later, the car might have exploded, and so many people would have been injured."
Qin Ce stared at her face, "Knowing it was dangerous, why did you still rush in?"
Qiao Xing then remembered the child in her belly. Her hand involuntarily went to her lower abdomen, and she guiltily explained to Qin Ce, "It was a matter of life and death, I didn't think that much at the time..."
Qin Ce snorted, amused by her antics.
"Get in the car."
Qin Ce turned and walked towards the car. Qiao Xing, with Xi Xi by her side, followed quietly behind him. Qin Ce rarely lost his temper in front of her, but now, she sensed that he was indeed angry, and quite angry at that.
Qiao Xing knew that she had acted impulsively just now, but she really hadn't thought that much about it at the time.
Once in the car, Qin Ce drove in silence.
Qiao Xing thought for a moment and then explained to him, "Don't be angry. I just instinctively wanted to help. I didn't mean to disregard the child."
"I'm not angry at the child," Qin Ce said.
"That……"
"I'm angry because you don't value your own life." Qin Ce turned his head and glanced at Qiao Xing.
His eyes were deep, and countless emotions seemed to be swirling within them: anger, worry, and helplessness.
