Chapter 579 Don't be afraid
Qiao Xing watched him intently as he spoke, noting the seriousness he exuded when calmly analyzing a problem in front of a crowd in a conference room.
Qin Ce's identity gives many people the impression that he appears cold and serious, but he is often very easygoing in front of Qiao Xing.
This is why Qiao Xing rarely sees Qin Ce with a serious expression except when he is working.
"What's wrong? Did I say something wrong?"
Qiao Xing nodded in agreement, "That's right. I didn't expect you to know the Qiao family better than I do."
Qin Ce chuckled, "It's not that I understand the Qiao family, it's that I understand human nature better."
The smile on Qin Ce's lips hadn't even reached his eyes when it suddenly stopped.
He squinted slightly, glanced at the rearview mirror, and noticed that a taxi had followed them.
At the same time, he received Xin Jiu's voice through his Bluetooth headset, "Mr. Qin, Qiao Hong has stolen a taxi and is following your car. I'm behind him, so try not to stop him. Please be careful."
Qiao Xing did not notice anything amiss.
Qin Ce calmly removed his headphones and then asked Qiao Xing, "Is your seatbelt fastened?"
Qiao Xing looked at him with a puzzled expression.
Didn't he fasten her seatbelt as soon as she got in the car?
To everyone's surprise, Qin Ce asked her again, "Take a look, is it loose?"
Although Qiao Xing didn't understand why he suddenly said that, she still checked carefully and said, "It's tied."
Following the route they took, they should be able to get onto the highway after passing the next intersection.
However, Qin Ce hesitated for a moment, then changed direction and decided to take a detour back.
Rainy days make roads slippery, and highways are prone to problems, which can be fatal.
Since Qiao Hong dared to steal the car, it means he has lost all reason. No one knows what he will do next, so Qin Ce dares not take that risk.
Qiao Xing noticed that Qin Ce had changed his route and asked, "Why are you coming this way?"
"Let's get closer from here."
Qiao Xing frowned in confusion.
Although she wasn't a driver, she knew that the route they took to get there was the shortest one Qin Ce had specifically chosen.
If this road is shorter, why didn't you take it when you came?
Qin Ce happened to glance at the rearview mirror, and when Qiao Xing noticed his tense expression, she finally realized something was wrong.
She glanced in the rearview mirror and realized that there were two cars following behind them.
The last car was one that Qiao Xing recognized; it was the car Xin Jiu used to drive when picking her up.
Qiao Xing couldn't see clearly who was driving the taxi in the middle, but she guessed who it was.
She turned to Qin Ce and asked, "Is it Qiao Hong?"
"Mm," Qin Ce replied.
Qiao Xing couldn't help but clench her fingers.
Even in this state, he shows no remorse and still plots to harm others!
"Don't be afraid," Qin Ce comforted Qiao Xing.
Qiao Hong's car was following too closely, so he couldn't stop easily. He was afraid that if his car stopped, Qiao Hong would crash into him without thinking.
The only options are to create some distance or completely shake him off before finding a place to park.
Qiao Xing instinctively protected her stomach with her hand, let out a breath, and said, "With you here, I'm not afraid."
Xin Jiu dared not relax, his eyes fixed on the taxi.
But he didn't dare to push too hard. As he sped up, Qiao Hong also sped up.
Qin Ce also had Qiao Xing in his car, so he couldn't drive too fast.
The three cars remained locked in this stalemate for several kilometers before Qiao Hong's taxi suddenly began to accelerate.
Seeing this, Xin Jiu quickly stepped on the gas.
Qin Ce reacted immediately and said to Qiao Xing, "Sit down."
Qiao Xing held her stomach with one hand and gripped the seatbelt with the other. She could clearly feel her heart pounding as the car accelerated.
Qiao Hong sped up like a desperate man, weaving through the passing vehicles.
Qin Ce kept a close eye on Qiao Hong's car while simultaneously calculating in his mind how to safely stop it.
Then, Xin Jiu called, "Mr. Qin, the traffic police just contacted me. They have set up a checkpoint ahead. Turn right at the next intersection."
"good."
Qin Ce immediately turned the steering wheel.
Traffic police had intercepted all vehicles on the road several minutes earlier to ensure Qin Ce and Qiao Xing's safety.
However, this section of road is quite complicated, and there are many residential areas on both sides.
When we were still a few hundred meters away from the traffic police checkpoint, two children suddenly darted out from the roadside.
Qiao Xing immediately shouted, "Watch out!"
When Qiao Hong saw the checkpoint, he had already floored the accelerator.
The moment Qin Ce saw the child, it was too late to brake. He could only quickly turn the steering wheel and swerve sharply in another direction.
As his car turned, Xin Jiu also saw the two little boys. He seized the opportunity, stepped on the gas pedal hard, and rammed Qiao Hong's car to a stop just as it was about to hit the two children.
Qin Ce's car swerved too sharply, causing the vehicle to shake violently. Qiao Xing was thrown against the car window. Fortunately, Qin Ce reacted quickly and chose a narrow alley, avoiding hitting anything. The car finally came to a stop after a series of sudden brakes.
The moment the car stopped, he asked Qiao Xing, "Are you alright?"
Qiao Xing was still in shock from the impact. She stood there for a while, then frowned and said, "My stomach hurts a little."
Qin Ce immediately got out of the car and carried Qiao Xing out of the passenger seat, saying, "I'll take you to the hospital."
Qiao Xing wanted to say that she was probably just too nervous and that she would be fine after calming down and wouldn't need to go to the hospital, but Qin Ce didn't give her a chance to speak.
When I came out of the alley, Xin Jiu had already run over. "Qiao Hong has been handed over to the police. Madam, are you alright?"
Qiao Xing opened his mouth, but before he could say anything, Xin Jiu immediately said, "I'll take you to the hospital!"
After Qiao Xing was taken to the hospital, the doctor examined both her and the fetus in her womb.
"Mr. Qin, please rest assured, your wife is just a little stressed, and there was a slight impact to her abdomen, which is why she is experiencing pain. At present, the fetus and the baby are fine, and she just needs to rest well."
Qin Ce looked at the doctor uncertainly, "Really?"
Although he tried his best to keep the car stable when turning, Qiao Xing was still hit due to inertia.
Qiao Xing felt a stomachache; he must have been hit pretty hard.
This puzzled even the doctors. Wasn't it good that nothing was wrong?
Do we really have to find out the problem before we can do this?
Qiao Xing noticed the doctor's embarrassment and quickly said, "It's alright, thank you, doctor."
"You're welcome. I'll head out now. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions."
Just as the doctor was about to leave, Qin Ce suddenly asked, "Could you arrange for her to be hospitalized and rest?"
