Chapter 498 Distress
Along the way, everyone was in a good mood, talking and laughing, feeling extremely relaxed.
Especially Zhang Heping, who, thinking about being able to join the escort team to enjoy the scenery, became so talkative that he could hardly stop.
Chen Yanming knew that when his brother was taking the college entrance examination, he almost applied to the Military Medical University, but in the end he failed for some reason, and he has always felt sad about it.
He longed for that place, but had no chance to see it. It was like an obsession, popping up in his mind from time to time, making him anxious.
Now, I finally have the opportunity to go in and take a look. Even if I am just a passer-by, it has fulfilled my youthful dream.
Zhang Heping thought so, with a look of anticipation on his face, and he also exerted a little force on his feet. With just a light step on the accelerator, the car speeded up.
There were heavy rains in the past two days, and people hid in their homes and hardly dared to go out. Now that the heavy rain has stopped, the drizzle in the sky not only does not hinder them from going out, but falls on their cheeks, soothing the summer heat for them.
So in the city, no matter how anxious Zhang Heping was, he still took it easy and didn't dare to speed up too much. But when he saw that there were only a few pedestrians and vehicles on the street outside the city center, he stepped on the accelerator and let the car fly out.
Shen Yanming frowned, but found that the road was empty except for the trees on both sides. Through the car window, he could see north and south, east and west at a glance. There was no safety hazard, so he did not speak to stop it.
Chen Yanming thought that even if Zhang Heping increased the speed of the car, it would only be 50 miles per hour, so nothing serious would happen.
But this indulgence almost made him regret for the rest of his life.
Because the car was speeding on the road, and suddenly there was a sharp braking sound.
Shen Yanming was originally lowering his head to tease the little baby in his arms, but suddenly his body leaned forward uncontrollably. He was horrified, and the moment he put the baby into the space, he used his arms to block Bi Qiaoan's body.
Qiao An was a little sleepy, but she was very confident about the two men in the car, so as soon as she got in the car, she leaned against Shen Yanming and fell asleep.
Their other baby was placed in a safety basket next to the back seat.
With such a sudden brake, she lost her weight and crashed hard into the front seat. Because Shen Yanming blocked it in time, her forehead did not swell up.
Bi Qiaoan woke up instantly, and her face changed drastically. She didn't even have time to ask anything, and hurried to see the baby beside her.
Bi Qiaoan heaved a sigh of relief when he found that her eyes were wide open and she was not frightened.
She couldn't help but secretly feel fortunate that she had been careful when purchasing baby products in Lan Country and bought several safety carriers and safety seats so that the two little babies could sit in them until they grew up.
Just another...
The moment she woke up, she knew that the other baby was not here, otherwise Shen Yanming would not have used his arms to block her.
But because there were outsiders around, she didn't dare to ask anything, so she went to see the baby in the safety basket first.
When Shen Yanming noticed that she was relieved, he quickly brought the baby out of the space. Bi Qiaoan was completely relieved when she saw that the two baby eggs were intact.
"Mr. Shen, I'm sorry, I, I didn't expect..." Zhang Heping stuttered and could hardly speak. He tried to calm down and asked, "How are you, is the child okay?"
He did not dare to look back, because he knew how fragile newborns were. Even if it seemed that there was no impact now, it was hard to say whether the impact would cause spinal dislocation, or deformation of the skull and brain, leading to slow intellectual growth.
He felt that he was guilty of a heinous crime. He had come to help with good intentions, but such a big accident happened.
Shen Yanming didn't say anything because he was angry. Not only was he angry at Zhang Heping for braking suddenly, but he was also angry at himself for not reminding him to slow down.
Another point is that if he didn't have the space and took the baby in as soon as he felt something was wrong, the child would probably be either dead or paralyzed now. It's really scary to think about it.
At the same time, I also regretted why I didn't think about the danger at that time and insisted on sitting with Qiao An while holding the baby.
If he had a higher level of safety awareness and added a safety basket to the back seat, then even though Joan hit her forehead in this accident, the baby would be safe and they would both feel much better.
But there is no medicine for regret in this world, and we can only thank God for giving them space, which allowed them to escape this disaster.
Shen Yanming said in a cold voice: "It's okay, fortunately the car was not going fast enough."
Although he was just stating the facts, it made Zhang Heping break out in a cold sweat.
He really didn't expect that an accident would happen at a speed of 50 miles per hour. If he had known this, he would have crawled at a speed of 20 to 30 miles per hour.
Zhang Heping was about to cry. He rubbed his sore eyes and felt that he was to blame. He said with difficulty: "Yanming, I, I didn't want to do that. I'm sorry! If there is really something wrong with the two children, I will not escape. They are my responsibility for this life."
Shen Yanming couldn't listen any more. Although he was very angry, he was not an unreasonable person. Moreover, his eagerness to take the blame was particularly harsh to the ears of Old Shen, who loved his son as if his life. It felt like a curse.
He interrupted coldly: "Enough, my son and daughter are fine, you don't have to take the blame. Instead of crying here, why don't you tell me what happened?"
Zhang Heping didn't feel better after hearing this, but felt even more guilty. He said, "I was driving normally, but suddenly a branch fell down. I was afraid it would hit the car, so I braked urgently."
Chen Yanming frowned, "A branch falling from the sky? Why does it sound so fantastic? Are you sure it's not a tree branch?"
"No, it's definitely not a branch, it's a twig!" Zhang Heping shook his head like nothing, pointed out the window and said anxiously: "If you don't believe me, go down and take a look. I was afraid that we would be killed if we were hit by such a big branch, so I braked suddenly."
Shen Yanming didn't doubt his words, but he thought it was strange. He handed the baby to Bi Qiaoan, opened the door and got out of the car. When he saw the scene in front of the car, he couldn't help but feel scared.
Zhang Heping also unbuckled his seat belt and followed him.
Then he pointed to a large tree branch less than a meter away from the tire and said, "It's so thick. If it hits the roof of the car, it will probably collapse the car. Old Shen, I, I just reacted reflexively..."
Shen Yanming nodded, closed his eyes, took a deep breath and said, "I know, thank you very much for what happened today. Otherwise, we might not be able to go back."
After getting his buddies' understanding, Zhang Heping sat down on the ground without paying attention to the water on the ground and cried, "My legs are weak. I never thought that such a disaster would happen. It almost killed your family of four!"
