"Get out of the way!"
One second, the three women were holding hands and chatting happily, but suddenly, they saw a speeding steel behemoth coming towards them, and they were almost paralyzed with fear.
The speeding car wasn't moving in one direction, but swaying from side to side, like someone who was drunk.
With a loud "bang!"
The guardrail blocking the sidewalk was instantly knocked down by the car's immense inertia, and the speeding car continued its momentum, crashing onto the sidewalk...
At the critical moment, Zhou Huimin pushed Chen Nan aside, but she was unable to dodge in time and her arm was grazed by the side of the car. Lan Jieying was in an even worse situation, as she was positioned to the side of the three of them and was closest to the car.
The sudden turn of events left her no time to react. Lam Kit-ying was hit by a car and thrown to the ground, bleeding profusely. Her fate was unknown.
Of the three, Chen Nan was the only one who wasn't injured. At the crucial moment, Zhou Huimin pushed her, preventing her from being hurt by the car, but she was still pushed and stumbled.
Then she got up from the ground and saw that the Mercedes-Benz driven by the driver had crashed into a tree in the green belt with a screeching sound of brakes, and black smoke was billowing from the hood of the car.
"There's been a car accident, call the police immediately."
"Does anyone have a mobile phone? Could you please call an ambulance?"
"Someone's dead! Someone's dead! Waaaaah..."
The scene was chaotic.
The pungent smell of rubber, shards of glass, engine oil, blood, screams, wails, and passersby lying on the ground, their fates unknown...
Just then.
"Snap!"
The car door was opened.
A man frantically pushed open the car door, looking extremely panicked. He covered his head and glanced at the crowd. Then, instead of trying to save people, he turned and ran.
"stop!"
"Stop him! The driver who caused the accident is trying to escape."
Everything happened so fast that many people didn't have time to react.
Seeing the driver about to flee, Chen Nan instinctively shouted in the direction he was running.
Upon hearing the words, the driver froze, shoved aside a man blocking his way, and roared, "Get out of my way!"
Then he glanced at Chen Nan with a cold look before disappearing.
From the moment the man fled to his disappearance, only a dozen seconds had passed. By the time some people came to their senses, the driver who caused the accident was nowhere to be seen.
You can run away from the monk, but you can't hide from the temple!
Although the driver fled the scene, the Mercedes-Benz, which was already somewhat deformed from the collision, remained at the scene.
Someone shouted, "Call an ambulance! The person is dying!"
Chen Nan felt utterly useless. Just a moment ago, the group was chatting and laughing, discussing where to eat, and now they were caught in this undeserved disaster.
Lam Kit-ying lay unconscious in a pool of blood. Chow Wai-man, in an attempt to save her, suffered only minor injuries, but the car had grazed her, causing her to fall and hit her head, leaving her still somewhat dizzy.
"Huimin, Jieying, please don't let anything happen to you..."
In a strange city like Hong Kong, and with the language barrier, she, who usually seems like a tough woman, showed her tenderness and vulnerability at this moment.
Chen Nan's face was streaked with tears, like a kite with a broken string. He kept murmuring, "Please don't let anything happen, please don't let anything happen. Call, yes, call now."
Chen Nan took out her phone from her bag and dialed Chen Dong's number. In Hong Kong, the only person she could think of to help was her own younger brother.
In 1993, the era of 1G mobile phones began to be phased out, and 2G network technology began to be promoted globally. Mobile phones started to get smaller. Nokia and Motorola manufactured very small mobile phones, and even IBM launched the first touchscreen phone, although many of the technologies were still immature.
It wasn't until 14 years later that Apple finally mastered the high-resolution, multi-touch iPhone, establishing the standard for touchscreens and bringing touchscreen phones to widespread popularity.
Although today's mobile phones are much more advanced than the old-fashioned brick phones, they still can't compare to the basic mobile phones for the elderly that came with them.
Lin Zhiyuan wanted to buy her a mobile phone, but she refused, saying it was too ugly, clumsy, and heavy.
After arriving in Hong Kong, Chen Nan took a liking to this compact Nokia phone and bought it immediately.
At this moment, Chen Nan's hands were trembling as he made a call on the phone, each key press seeming to require all his strength.
She truly regretted not having bodyguards with her, and regretted dragging Vivian Chow and the others shopping. If she hadn't done those things, would they have avoided this incident?
The call was connected.
"Big sister!"
"Hey, Dong... Dongzi... Waaaaah..."
Chen Nan has always been bold and doesn't act like a typical girl. When Chen Dong was bullied as a child, she stood up for him. When Chen Dong got into trouble, she took the blame for him. Even when Xiao Xinyi disciplined her, she remained silent.
At this moment, she was sobbing uncontrollably on the phone and could not speak clearly.
"What's wrong, sister? Has someone bullied you?"
Hearing that Chen Nan's voice sounded off, Chen Dong's heart immediately jumped.
In his memory, this was the first time he had ever heard Chen Nan cry like this. The sound was like someone had stabbed him in the heart, and Chen Dong's anger instantly boiled over.
Who would dare to bully my older sister?
Lin Zhiyuan? Or someone else? Who dares to bully Chen Nan like this? Even if it's his brother-in-law Lin Zhiyuan, Chen Dong won't let him get away with it.
Before he became wealthy, Chen Dong warned him that if he dared to do anything to betray Chen Nan, he shouldn't blame him.
