Car accident
A screeching sound of friction rang in his ears, and in an instant, a wave of dizziness washed over him, causing his center of gravity to shift rapidly. Wen Xubai braced himself with both hands on either side of the car's surface, his nose just a millimeter away from the hard object, his mind reeling.
The car was still drifting when Ruan Xing finally came to his senses. He gritted his teeth and quickly turned the steering wheel, bringing the car, which was heading straight for the guardrail, back on track!
Another loud "bang!"
His back was soaked with cold sweat. Wen Xubai immediately turned around, and a cool breeze entered his collar, chilling him to the bone.
They saw that the Bentley that had hit them had been knocked aside by another Lamborghini, and it was during this opening that the two were able to escape quickly.
With a sigh of relief, Wen Xubai finally felt a little calmer.
“They’re not working together,” Wen Xubai said.
He couldn't see the person in the last Lamborghini clearly.
Ruan Yun's complexion improved slightly, but her hands gripping the steering wheel were still turning white, clearly still shaken.
The vehicle sped along the highway, leaving all other vehicles behind, except for those two sedans that had somehow caught up with it again, like persistent shadows.
I picked up the phone that had fallen to the ground, but the screen was completely shattered, and it wouldn't turn on no matter how I pressed the buttons.
The shattered screen reflected Wen Xubai's flickering pupils, as still as a pool of stagnant water.
Wen Xubai sighed helplessly and asked, "Is there a spare phone in the car?"
Ruan Yun shouted, "I don't know!"
Wen Xubai: "???"
"Isn't this your car???" Wen Xubai asked in confusion.
"No way!" Ruan Yun panicked and swerved the car to the right.
Wen Xubai: "·······"
When the two left the Wen family, Ruan Xing gave Wen Xubai a car key, but when they arrived at the door, Ruan Yun got into another car. Seeing how familiar he was with it, Wen Xubai naturally assumed it was his own car.
The Ruan family owned countless cars, and more than one arrived that day. Wen Xubai thought that it didn't matter which car they drove, so he didn't ask any questions.
That's good now...
Wen Xubai suddenly felt a headache.
"And what about your phone?"
Ruan Yun's expression suddenly became complicated. Amidst her busy work, she glanced at the gap between the seats and muttered, "I just fell in..."
Wen Xubai: "·······"
It's over.
Wen Xubai thought to himself.
My eyes involuntarily swept backward; the two cars were still locked in a stalemate.
Lamborghini was determined to stop Bentley, but Bentley clearly didn't want to get entangled with him. His target was clear: Wen Xubai and Ruan Xing's car. Even though he was almost pushed off the bridge several times, he followed them closely, afraid of losing them.
They are now isolated and helpless, and can only pray that the Lamborghini will "win" soon and come to rescue them.
With her nerves taut and her thoughts in turmoil, Ruan Yun pursed her lips, clearly not going to hold on much longer.
No, if this stalemate continues, we'll both die. We have to find a way to escape!
A bold idea popped into Wen Xubai's mind, and after only a moment's hesitation, he made up his mind.
Just as he was about to speak, a loud voice rang out, coinciding with two words in his mind:
"Jump out of the car!"
Wen Xubai was startled and immediately looked out the window!
A man dressed in all black, wearing a black helmet, appeared before them with the roar of a motorcycle. His jacket billowed in the wind as he hunched over, struggling to keep level with the vehicle.
The helmet and goggles were pulled down, revealing Qi Zui's clear eyes, which were filled with worry.
With gloved hands, Qi Da Zui quickly tapped twice on the windowsill and shouted, "Wen Xubai, jump out of the car!"
Upon suddenly seeing the man, Wen Xubai had no time to wonder. He quickly unbuckled his seatbelt and prepared to unbuckle Ruan Yun's.
Surprisingly, the driver's seatbelt was different from the passenger's seatbelt, and it's unclear whether it had been modified.
Wen Xubai asked anxiously, "How do we open this door?!"
Ruan Yun panicked and stammered, "The button... the button is in the system!"
system?
Wen Xubai quickly reached for the buttons on the display screen, but to his surprise, they also malfunctioned and had no effect no matter how he pressed them.
Seeing that Qi Zui was starting to fall behind and was showing signs of lag, Wen Xubai gritted his teeth and quickly raised his knee to kick the glove box in front of the passenger seat!
"Thump! Thump! Thump!"
Ruan Yun's eyes widened in shock. "Are you crazy?! You're hurting yourself?!"
"Shut up!" Wen Xubai shouted angrily.
The tightly closed storage box, startled, finally popped open with a "snap." Wen Xubai immediately looked inside and breathed a sigh of relief.
The Wen family likes to keep some self-defense items in their car, such as sticks and knives. They are not very big, and most of them are kept in the glove box so that they can be easily grabbed in case of danger.
It's unclear whether the car's owner has this habit, but Wen Xubai decided to take a gamble.
Clearly, he made the right bet.
Wen Xubai deftly took out a folding knife from the box and began cutting Ruan Yun's seatbelt.
The leather seatbelt was very resilient, but the knife in Wen Xubai's hand had been lying around for too long and was already rusty, making it very difficult to cut.
Sweat dripped from his forehead as Wen Xubai suppressed the dizziness from looking down and the churning pain in his stomach. His hand holding the knife began to tremble.
Ruan Yun finally snapped out of his shock. While observing the road conditions, he couldn't help but worry that Wen Xubai's knife would stab him. He even bit his lip until it bled from the tension.
"Don't get distracted!" Wen Xubai growled, his fingers already aching, and only a third of the seatbelt had been cut.
"Wen Xubai!" Qi Zui called out to him from outside the window, "It's too late!"
Upon hearing this, Ruan Yun quickly looked behind the car and saw that the Bentley had caught up with them at some point!
Hearing this, Xu Bai ignored it and moved even faster!
Suddenly, Ruan Yun's exclamation reached his ears. He looked up and saw Ruan Yun pointing ahead with a look of terror in his eyes—that was a dead end!
"Wen Xubai!!!" Qi Zui shouted from outside the window!
Wen Xubai also yelled, "Whose car are you driving?!"
He shouted these words at Ruan Yun, but his hands didn't stop moving for a second.
Ruan Yun trembled in fright and stammered, "I... I was driving, of course..."
Halfway through her sentence, Ruan Yun suddenly froze, her mouth agape in astonishment, her pupils contracting sharply as if she had just realized something.
There was no time to dwell on why he suddenly stopped. The seatbelt was still a third of the way in, and Wen Xubai's movements were getting faster and faster. His mind went completely blank!
Suddenly, a pair of slender hands grasped his reddened and scratched hand, forcefully stopping his movements.
Wen Xubai looked up in surprise, only to see Ruan Yun staring at him with a complicated expression, her hands already off the steering wheel.
Wen Xubai: "???"
The next second, before he could even ask a question, Ruan Yun suddenly pounced over and opened the car door next to him!
"What are you doing?!" Wen Xubai exclaimed in shock!
Ruan Yun and Qi Zui quickly exchanged a glance, then Ruan Yun placed her hand on Qi Zui's shoulder and gave him a hard push!
Wen Xubai: "!!!"
A sudden feeling of weightlessness washed over him, and Wen Xubai tumbled out of the car. Everything around him seemed to slow down, and his thoughts froze in that instant—
A tremendous force came from his waist, and a pair of large hands dragged him down to the ground!
The man seemed to be protecting him, tightening his arms around his waist and holding him tightly in his arms!
Dust swirled all around, and flying sand stung Wen Xubai's eyes. The two rolled around on the ground a dozen times before finally stopping near the railing.
His bones felt like they were being crushed, and he was in excruciating pain. The scene before him was blurry and shimmering with stars, but the man's face gradually became clear.
The helmet was nowhere to be found, the motorcycle lay overturned to one side, sparks flying from the rough ground, the wheels still spinning, but the parts were shattered into pieces, the headlights broken one after another—a truly pitiful sight after the crash…
Wen Xubai watched helplessly as the car carrying Ruan Yun lost control at the last moment, crashing violently into the tree trunks by the roadside with a screeching sound!
"Bang!"
Qi instinctively pulled Wen Xubai into his arms!
When I came to my senses again, the world seemed to have come to a standstill...
Wen Xubai slowly raised his head from Qi Zui's embrace. The first thing he saw was a car not far away, its front end dented and still hissing black smoke...
"Are you alright?!" Qi Zui picked him up with great concern, her fingers stroking his scraped cheek, her eyes full of heartache.
However, the man's abrasions were clearly more severe; his handsome face was a bloody mess, a sight that was heartbreaking to see.
Wen Xubai shook his head in a daze, his heart trembling.
The Bentley that had been chasing them was gone; only the Lamborghini slowly pulled up beside them.
The car door opened, and a pair of leather shoes came into view first.
Wen Xubai slowly looked up, and when he saw that face, he was speechless and stunned.
A look of unprecedented panic crossed the man's handsome face. He rushed to the wrecked car door, ripped it open without hesitation, and dragged out a blood-soaked white figure...
Wen Xuyuan's pupils suddenly contracted, as if he could not believe it.
Large fingers gently caressed the lifeless face of the person in his arms, his own body stained with their blood. Tears fell before he could even react...
"Xiaoyun... Xiaoyun..." Wen Xuyuan called softly, his voice trembling, "Open your eyes, open your eyes and look at Brother Yuan... Brother Yuan is here..."
“Brother Yuan was wrong… Brother Yuan was really wrong… I won’t hide from you anymore… You don’t want me to marry that woman, then I won’t… You don’t want to stay in Jiangcheng, then I’ll take you away, to a place where we can truly be accepted… I don’t want the Wen family, I don’t want power, I only want you, Xiaoyun… I only want you…”
