As soon as Aunt Wu finished speaking, Mingyao, as if possessed, stuck the steel needle into her finger.
She stared blankly at the blood oozing from her finger, her mind a complete blank.
It wasn't until Wu Ma screamed that Mingyao belatedly felt the stinging sensation in her fingers.
It hurts, it hurts a lot.
Crimson blood gushed from the wound.
Wu Ma was shocked and wrapped Mingyao's hand with gauze.
"Miss Su, please be more careful next time."
Mingyao's expression remained blank, as if she were lost in thought.
Wu Ma was startled by Mingyao's reaction.
She had such a big gash on her hand, yet she didn't do anything about it!
"Miss Su?"
Wu Ma tentatively placed her hand in front of Mingyao's eyes and waved it.
Mingyao shuddered and murmured, "Aunt Wu, I feel so awful."
"Hurry up and give me my phone."
Wu Ma, not understanding why, still handed the phone to Mingyao.
Mingyao called Pei Siyu anxiously.
Beep beep—
The long wait was torture, every minute and second felt like an eternity.
"Sorry, the number you dialed is not being answered."
A mechanical female voice exploded in her ears, and Mingyao, refusing to believe it, typed it a second time.
Still no one answered.
"Aunt Wu, you should try to call him too!"
"And Zhang Peng too!"
Looking at Mingyao's pale face, Wu Ma had a bad feeling.
She quickly went to get her phone.
No matter how hard they tried to call, no one answered.
Fear surged over Mingyao like a tidal wave.
With Wu Ma's help, Mingyao stood up shakily.
"Aunt Wu, please call a car for me. I need to go to the company."
Wu Ma opened and closed her mouth, first objecting.
“Ms. Su, it’s too dangerous for you to go to the company so rashly.”
"President Pei is probably busy with other things."
"He'll be alright."
Mingyao took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down.
Her heart was pounding so hard, the thumping sound like a drumbeat hitting her eardrums.
"Aunt Wu, hurry up and go!"
Mingyao's hands were trembling, and her phone fell to the ground.
Wu Ma couldn't understand, but she still did as Mingyao said.
Mingyao knew that her sudden rush was unreasonable.
But for some reason, she felt incredibly anxious.
She needed to see Pei Siyu immediately to make sure he was alright before she could feel at ease.
Aunt Wu hailed a car and put the down jacket on Mingyao.
"Miss Su, I'll go with you."
"It will be good to have someone to look out for you on the road."
Mingyao clutched her stomach with one hand and grabbed Wu Ma's hand with the other, rushing into the car like lightning.
The snow was falling heavily, and the roads and buildings were covered in a white blanket.
Knowing that Mingyao was scared, Aunt Wu kept comforting her.
As the cars approached the intersection, a long line of cars formed.
Mingyao looked ahead, unaware of what had happened.
"Driver, could you please go and find out what happened?"
"I'm really in a hurry."
The driver nodded and jogged back ten minutes later.
After brushing the snow off his hair and shoulders, he said, "There was a car accident up ahead."
The driver muttered, "It's a luxury car, and I heard it even caused a fatality."
"Having money isn't enough; you have to be alive to spend it."
The driver rubbed his hands together and looked at Mingyao: "Oh dear, miss, look, the road is completely blocked."
"Why don't we get a different car?"
Aunt Wu looked at Mingyao and said, "Miss Su, why don't we go back first?"
"It's too easy for accidents to happen in this heavy snow."
Mingyao got out of the car directly.
Braving the heavy snow, she wrapped herself tightly in her down jacket and strode forward.
Wu Ma hurriedly gave her the money and followed behind Mingyao.
"Miss Su, the ground is slippery, please slow down!"
Mingyao's heart was pounding, and she dared not slow down.
After passing through rows of cars, Mingyao saw groups of people gathered in twos and threes.
"Oh, that's terrible. It seems like someone died on the spot."
"Some people are even saying this is President Pei's car..."
The whispers of passersby were like fine needles, piercing Mingyao's ears without any politeness.
Mingyao's mind went blank, and her breathing became sluggish.
Passersby noticed Mingyao and, seeing that she looked unwell, asked with concern, "Miss, are you alright?"
Mingyao grabbed a passerby's hand and asked urgently, "Can you describe some of the cars involved in the accident?"
"Do you know who I am?"
The passerby was startled and then said, "At the intersection, a Maybach was hit by a truck."
"We don't know the situation right now either; the police are still investigating."
"Little girl, you mustn't go there, the road ahead is blocked."
"It looks like an oil tanker crashed into the Maybach; there's oil all over the ground now."
Mingyao could no longer hear the voices of the passersby.
All she can think about right now is going to the accident scene.
The car Pei Siyu rode in today was a Maybach.
Aunt Wu caught up with Mingyao, panting, and said, "Miss Su, why are you running so fast?"
As soon as Aunt Wu grabbed Mingyao, Mingyao ran forward like a madwoman.
She caught up with Mingyao, panting.
"Miss Su, the accident scene is just ahead, it's too dangerous."
"I heard there's a gasoline leak. What if it explodes?"
When Wu Ma stopped Mingyao, she found that Mingyao was already in tears.
“Aunt Wu, the car involved in the accident was a Maybach.”
