The beginning of the tribulation
Seeing the chaotic scene in the casino on the basement level, Sang Qi secretly rejoiced, thinking that only in complete chaos could they better break out.
Lu Min remembered the way out when he came. He grabbed Sang Qi and rushed out without looking back, no matter how many people were chasing after him.
The two made their way through the chaotic crowd from the basement to the clubhouse on the first floor. Lu Min was in so much pain that he was almost unconscious.
Sang Qi knew that Lu Min had reached his limit and couldn't push himself any further. She reached out to support Lu Min and used all her strength to pull him out of the Red Sea Casino.
They escaped through the back door of the Red Sea Casino, but Qian Kunpeng had already sent men to surround the Red Sea Casino inside and out in order to catch them, preventing Sang Qi and Lu Min from escaping.
As Sang Qi rushed out the back door, he was met by a dozen thugs carrying weapons.
Sang Qi panicked again.
A dozen or so men were coming at her with weapons, looking menacing. If she were alone, it would be fine, but she was supporting the seriously injured Lu Min.
This is another critical juncture.
In the midst of his frantic efforts, a car suddenly sped towards Sang Qi, kicking up clouds of dust.
The car stopped in front of Sang Qi, blocking the thugs who rushed over, and stood in the middle.
The driver got out of the car. He was mysterious and tall and thin, wearing a mask and hat, all in black, so his appearance was not clear.
He shouted at Sang Qi, "Quickly get everyone in the car and drive away."
His voice was hoarse and unpleasant, with a mechanical quality, clearly indicating the use of a voice changer.
After the mysterious man finished speaking, he pulled out a gun to provide cover for Sang Qi.
Looking at the black SUV in front of him, Sang Qi shouted in a panic, "I can't drive!"
"If you can't drive, then you're doomed. This is all I can do for you." The mysterious man ignored Sang Qi.
The mysterious man and the group of thugs were engaged in a fierce gunfight, a scene that was both thrilling and terrifying.
She couldn't let the mysterious man hinder her escape, given his desperate efforts to cover it.
Therefore, although Sang Qi said she couldn't drive, she still put Lu Min in the back seat and got into the driver's seat herself.
Actually, it's not that she can't drive; it's just that after passing her driving test after the college entrance exam, she hasn't touched a car since, and she probably forgot which clutch and which brake she used.
But escaping was the priority right now; not knowing how to drive meant driving recklessly, and preserving one's life was paramount. After getting into the driver's seat, Sang Qi didn't think much, fastened his seatbelt, and started the car.
At that moment, gunshots rang out from the back gate area, and all the men who were lying in ambush nearby gathered at the back gate to besiege Sang Qi and Lu Min.
More and more thugs surged through the back door. Seeing that the situation was not good, the mysterious man who had been covering for Sang Qi had no choice but to retreat.
The thugs swarming in from all directions were intimidating, but Sang Qi turned away and kept his composure.
She stepped on the gas pedal to start the car, but when she saw that the car didn't move, she thought she had pressed the wrong pedal. Just as she was about to press it again, she saw a hideous face appear outside the window.
It was a man's face, holding an iron bar, poised to smash it hard against the car window.
Upon seeing this, Sang Qi cried out in surprise and slammed his foot on the accelerator. This time, he hit the gas pedal, and with a roar of the engine, the car shot off.
Having dodged the iron bar attack, Sang Qi turned his gaze away from the car window and saw the car speeding towards the solid wall ahead.
Sang Qi was only focused on dodging the people attacking the car window and didn't pay attention to the road. Seeing that the car was about to crash into the wall, Sang Qi hurriedly turned the steering wheel to the right, and the car veered sharply to the right.
A dozen or so people were approaching from the right. The car suddenly turned around, and the thugs hurriedly dodged. However, no matter how fast their legs were, they couldn't outrun the wheels. Sang Qi drove the car into them, knocking several of them flying.
The moment she hit the person, Sang Qi was stunned. She slammed on the brakes, and the car came to a sudden stop.
The image of the person being hit and thrown into the air was still replaying in her pupils. She kept her eyes tightly closed, and her hands gripping the steering wheel were sweating profusely.
"Bang bang bang!"
The loud gunshots rang in Sang Qi's ears, bringing her back to her senses.
Then came the sound of bullets hitting metal. Sang Qi knew that those people had opened fire on the car.
She thought she had to leave; if they shot at the tires, she was doomed.
But now the car is parked sideways, and she would have to reverse out and turn off the road to escape successfully. But when she thought about her terrible driving skills, she felt that she and Lu Min would probably have a hard time getting away.
Gunshots continued to pound on the car. Lu Min, in the back seat, could no longer hold back. Despite the pain in his chest, he cursed, "You fucking drive! Put it in reverse! Do you want to die?"
"Oh, oh." Sang Qi suddenly felt as if she had returned to the days when she was learning to drive and was scolded mercilessly by her driving instructor.
She did as she was told, shifted into reverse, and the car started moving again, reversing straight backward. The thugs blocking the back of the car hurriedly dodged when they saw the car reversing.
After all, they had just witnessed Sang Qi's driving skills, and if they didn't dodge, they would probably be hit and thrown into the air.
The car continued to reverse, and Sang Qi did not notice that there was a large wooden shed behind him. When Lu Min noticed the shed and was about to shout "Brake!", Sang Qi had already reversed and crashed into the shed.
A loud crash echoed through the air. The wooden shed that was hit broke off a section of its supporting stake. The car shook a few times after the stake broke, which startled Sang Qi so much that he braked the car again.
Lu Min was so angry he almost vomited blood: "What are you standing there for? Quickly shift gears and drive, the canopy is going to collapse."
“Ah…oh…” Sang Qi responded blankly, but her movements were quick.
Upon hearing the sound, she immediately shifted gears, stepped on the gas, and the car shot forward again. The canopy collapsed with a crash just as the car sped off.
There were many thugs under the shed. They didn't have time to escape and were all crushed to the ground by the collapsed wooden shed, with cries of agony filling the air.
"Turn left," Lu Min commanded Sang Qi, barely clinging to life.
“Oh…” Sang Qi turned the steering wheel blankly.
"Damn it, why are you going in such a wide direction?" Lu Min roared.
I turned the steering wheel too far to the left, and the car crashed into the grass on the left and came to a stop.
At this moment, Lu Min felt like killing someone. He had never seen such a stupid person before, and he was so angry that he was speechless.
The pursuers kept throwing wooden sticks, iron bars, and firing guns at the car.
Faced with such a critical moment, and with Lu Min seriously injured behind him, Sang Qi felt that he could not delay any longer.
She gritted her teeth and forcefully opened her closed eyes.
At that moment, her eyes became calm and firm. She gripped the steering wheel with one hand, shifted gears with the other, reversed the car out, shifted gears again, stepped on the gas, and drove off.
To prevent them from escaping, the thugs set up roadblocks at the roadway, blocking the entrance with iron sheets and wooden planks.
"Ah!" Sang Qi screamed, pressing the accelerator to the floor. The car, as if out of control, broke through the roadblock like a wild beast.
With a loud crash, the sheet metal slammed into the ground, the wooden planks nearly shattered, and wood chips flew everywhere.
The car sped off and drove onto the highway.
When the pursuers saw the car break through the roadblock and drive out, they all opened fire on it, firing wildly. The gunshots rang out like firecrackers, but Sang Qi ignored them and drove with a serious expression.
Once the car was on the highway, Sang Qi shifted to the highest gear and drove at top speed, as fast as lightning.
This time, Sang Qi's driving skills were as steady as a mountain, a stark contrast to the "road menace" he had been just moments before.
The car sped through the night like the wind.
Sang Qi didn't know how many kilometers he had driven, but he finally relaxed when he didn't see anyone chasing after him. The tension he had felt all night had eased.
Looking back, tonight was incredibly exciting! There were all sorts of chases, captures, and narrow escapes, it was like a Hong Kong gangster movie, thrilling and suspenseful.
After driving a few more kilometers, Sang Qi made sure it was safe before pulling over to the side of the road.
After the car came to a stop, Sang Qi immediately turned around to look at Lu Min.
She thought Lu Min had fainted from the pain, but he hadn't. Lu Min was just breathing heavily, enduring the pain, and was still conscious.
Upon seeing Lu Min's numerous injuries, Sang Qi's eyes instantly reddened and filled with tears.
The car was dark, with only the light coming from the road. Lu Min still managed to make out Sang Qi's face in the dim light.
"Tell me, did you buy your driver's license or did you get it through a test?"
"I took the exam." Sang Qi wiped her face.
How many times did you retake the exam?
"It was all done on the first try."
Lu Min was shocked: "You think this is your level after one go?"
Sang Qi laughed in exasperation; Lu Min was still in the mood to joke at a time like this.
Lu Min hissed in pain, panting slightly: "But you drove pretty well in the second half, very determined and cool."
"..."
“However…” Lu Min sighed, “I was just thinking, what would you do if I were to die there today?”
Sang Qi paused, then lowered his head.
She didn't know what would happen if she failed to escape; she dared not think about it—it was too terrifying.
Lu Min twitched the corner of his mouth and glanced sideways at Sang Qi. The streetlights on the highway shone through the car window at night, casting a yellow glow on Sang Qi's face, making the light dim and hazy.
He suddenly raised his hand and rubbed Sang Qi's face: "Your face is dirty."
He rubbed the dirt off Sang Qi's face: "This looks better."
Sang Qi looked at Lu Min, who was covered in injuries, and took a deep breath.
"Don't say that." Sang Qi turned around and continued driving. "I'm taking you to the hospital now. You were shot, and you have so many wounds."
As she spoke, Sang Qi drove on, using navigation as she drove.
Lu Min in the back row gradually fell silent, and his breathing became weaker and weaker. Sang Qi was extremely anxious.
She is currently more than ten kilometers away from the hospital. Even though she is driving at top speed, she is still afraid that Lu Min will not make it there.
The more I thought about it, the more anxious I became, and tears welled up in my eyes again.
Sang Qi didn't want to cry, but she was anxious and tears just flowed instinctively, which was beyond her control.
She raised her hand to wipe away her tears without expression, and sniffed.
...
A hospital in a county town in Dali.
Outside the ward, the sky was a clear blue and the sun was shining brightly. Although it was winter, the weather still looked like a crisp autumn day.
Lu Min was rushed to the hospital late last night and survived after emergency treatment. He is currently in his hospital room and has not yet woken up.
It turns out that Sang Qi had been staying by Lu Min's side the whole time, but Sang Qi had been highly focused and tense these past two days. As soon as she relaxed, she felt dizzy and lightheaded. This morning, she even fainted in the hallway. Fortunately, the nurse found her and treated her in time.
Sang Qi can now be considered a patient, though he is much better off than Lu Min.
Having taken her medication, she was leaning against the window of her hospital room, listlessly gazing at the scenery outside.
When Lu Min woke up, he was in excellent spirits, but moving his body would aggravate his wounds and cause him some pain.
Sang Qi felt completely relieved when he saw that the person had woken up.
"Why do you look so sickly, pale and sickly?" Lu Min sat up, leaning against a pillow.
Sang Qi touched his face and said nonchalantly, "I'm fine, maybe I'm just too tired."
Lu Min shifted slightly and patted the bed: "Come here."
Sang Qi was taken aback, her neck stiffening: "What?"
"I'll let you rest in the bed; you look tired."
“No,” Sang Qi refused. “You are the patient; I will disturb you.”
Lu Min frowned: "I'm not that fragile."
"..."
Lu Min suddenly asked, "You can shoot?"
"Won't."
"Then how did you fire the gun last night? And twice?"
"It was opened haphazardly."
"..."
“Yes, it was driven haphazardly,” Sang Qi said confidently.
Lu Min was amused.
After a while, Lu Min said again, "I still want to talk about your driving skills."
When it came to driving skills, Sang Qi's face immediately fell, and she said with shame, "Please stop criticizing me."
"..."
“You can’t discriminate against female drivers because of my driving skills,” Sang Qi said. “It’s just me who’s bad at driving, it has nothing to do with other female drivers.”
There's a lot of hostility towards female drivers in society, and Sang Qi doesn't want her actions to make those who like her think that all female drivers are "road killers" like herself.
"I never intended to discriminate against anyone, what nonsense are you thinking?" Lu Min laughed helplessly.
"……All right."
"However, I think you need to practice your driving skills."
"I'll find a sparring partner if I get the chance," Sang Qi said earnestly.
"Why would I need a driving instructor when I already have an experienced one?"
Sang Qi looked Lu Min up and down and said with a wicked smile, "That's fine too, but I'm afraid you'll have to buy some insurance."
"..."
