Chapter 146 Car accident
Chapter 146 Car accident
Inside the tea room, bronze tea sets are arranged in a pleasingly irregular pattern on an exquisite tea table.
The air is filled with the faint aroma of tea and incense, and several ink paintings hang on the walls, depicting mountains and rivers shrouded in mist, creating a tranquil and peaceful atmosphere.
Qian Zhao sat at the tea table, listening to what the person on the other end of the phone was saying to him.
He frowned. "Someone's causing trouble? Who?"
Qian Zhao interrupted the other person, somewhat annoyed, "I don't care about that. I just want to know if the matter was resolved. Don't tell me you couldn't even handle a young punk."
There was another pause, his expression sinister. "If you can't kill me, cripple me. Are you still in the car? Keep going."
After a long while, Qian Zhao hung up the phone and was about to lower his head to drink tea when he noticed that someone had been standing at the entrance of the tea room.
Xie Qingyu crumpled the document in his hand into a ball, his face expressionless. "Who are you going to kill?"
He stood at the doorway, looking at the man inside the tea room, and suddenly everything became clear to him.
No wonder Jiang Yuanfeng wanted him to learn from this uncle; it turns out he deliberately sent him away so he could do something underhanded.
Upon seeing him arrive, Qian Zhao paused, then smiled and invited him to sit down and have some tea.
"Xiao Gu, your mother is doing this for your own good. This road is difficult, so you must remember her kindness."
Xie Qingyu immediately understood upon hearing this.
Jiang Yuanfeng actually hired someone to kill Shen Yan.
This part wasn't in the original storyline at all. Jiang Yuanfeng was just a stereotypical character who broke up a couple. The bad things she did were just mocking and insulting Bai Zhiwei, but it didn't amount to anything illegal.
But now this isn't just illegal; it's hiring someone to commit murder, which is a crime!
Go crazy! !
[Second brother, where is Shen Yan? How is he? Is he still alive?]
2222's voice immediately rang out, "[In Beicheng, she didn't die but was seriously injured. As for Xie Yan...]"
Xie Qingyu's pupils contracted; he hadn't expected Xie Yan to be involved. [What happened to her? How did she get dragged into this?!]
Xie Yan is also seriously injured, and her health is currently decreasing.
Upon hearing this, Xie Qingyu's eyes widened immediately, his breathing became rapid, and he didn't have time to argue with Qian Zhao anymore. He turned around and ran away.
He wants to take the fastest flight back!
When Qian Zhao saw Xie Qingyu's strange reaction, she understood what Jiang Yuanfeng meant when she said that her son was too naive and that he was unwilling to help her eliminate her rivals.
He sighed and picked up his phone again. "Stop him. Don't let him get away."
As soon as Xie Qingyu ran to the entrance of the teahouse, he saw four or five burly men surrounding him.
They all knew that Xie Qingyu was no ordinary man, being the eldest son of the Gu Group, so they naturally didn't dare to offend him too much and planned to try diplomacy first before resorting to force.
A bald man with tattoos on his head chuckled, "Young Master Gu, you..."
Before he could finish speaking, the bald man was kicked two meters away by a powerful kick to the chest. He never expected that his 200-pound frame could be knocked down with a single kick.
Xie Qingyu was extremely anxious, his eyes were red with worry, and he had no time to argue with them!
"Get the hell out of my way!! You son of a bitch!!!"
That's what they said, but Xie Qingyu didn't give anyone a chance to make way.
He used his full strength to take down all five burly men like a mad bull, and then charged straight out.
On the way to the airport, Xie Qingyu kept calling Xie Yan, but as expected, no one answered.
What is my sister's current health?
2222 paused for a moment, then added, "[51.]"
[So low???!!!]
Xie Qingyu, a tall man approaching 1.9 meters, was huddled in the back seat of the taxi, his hand holding his phone trembling.
A drop of water hits the screen. "Sis, wait for me, wait for me to come back..."
------
In the midst of chaos, Xie Yan felt as if she were being tossed about.
Her head was throbbing with pain, and her ears were filled with a sharp, ringing sound that kept drilling into her brain. It was both painful and noisy, and she felt like her head was about to explode.
Xie Yan barely opened her eyes, only to find herself seemingly being carried on someone's back, while the person beneath her was also staggering, as if exhausted.
“Shen…Yan…”
Her voice was so soft that she couldn't even hear it herself, but Shen Yan heard it.
His voice was frighteningly hoarse, trembling with sobs, "Sister, don't be afraid, I'll take you to the hospital, please hold on..."
Xie Yan's mind was foggy and she couldn't think straight. She couldn't figure out why Shen Yan would suddenly appear in Beicheng.
But upon hearing Shen Yan's words, Xie Yan remembered that she had just been in a car accident.
She struggled to find her voice, "Where are my classmates? Tan Zhuoran and Qi Na, have they come out yet?"
Shen Yan walked silently, staggering along, his forehead covered in cold sweat. His hands, which were supporting Xie Yan's knees, were covered in blood, and there were still deeply embedded shards of glass in his knuckles.
Seeing that he didn't answer, Xie Yan understood.
She was panting heavily when she managed to struggle off Shen Yan and fell to the ground. Looking back, she saw the car hanging precariously on the mountainside not far away, with a cliff below the road—falling off would be certain death!
Xie Yan wanted to go back to save people, but she was in so much pain that she couldn't muster any strength. She could feel that several of her ribs might be broken, and blood was still flowing from her head. She reached out to wipe her eyes so that the blood wouldn't blur them. Her clothes were stained red.
She could probably imagine how terrifying she looked right now.
[System, am I about to die?]
The system said in a deep voice, "Your health has dropped to 43. It might still be in time to go to the hospital."
Xie Yan was in so much pain that her vision blurred. [Give me my remaining points and stamina. If I don't have enough, deduct them from my health points like last time. I need to save people.]
"Are you crazy? Don't you want to live anymore?"
Xie Yan struggled to her feet, her vision blurry. "It's my fault. They shouldn't have suffered this car accident."
Because she could see another car overturned not far ahead, and the driver's wrist was twisted, his eyes closed, and she didn't know whether he was dead or alive.
Although he has lost a lot of weight, his facial features have remained largely unchanged.
It's Li Chuan.
He came for me.
Xie Yan suddenly regretted it. If she had known, she should have just gone out that day and gotten hit by a car. That would have been much more decisive.
That way, at least it won't implicate others.
The system couldn't persuade her otherwise, and with a sigh, Xie Yan quickly felt her strength return, even greater than before.
She immediately walked back to the scene of the car accident, but her hand was grabbed.
Shen Yan looked at her with a cold sweat on his face.
Xie Yan's face was deathly pale, her complexion and lips were an unnatural white, and she had wounds all over her head, face and arms. Her clothes were almost entirely stained red, making her look like a blood-soaked person.
With that amount of bleeding, she'd definitely die if she didn't go to the hospital.
"Go to the hospital."
His voice was hoarse, and his eyes were bloodshot, but he no longer had the strength to forcibly take Xie Yan away.
The boy was also as pale as a sheet, covered in wounds. He clutched his abdomen where a piece of metal had pierced him, stubbornly pulling on Xie Yan's wrist, pleading humbly, "Please, go to the hospital."
Seeing Shen Yan swaying precariously, Xie Yan asked the system, "How is Shen Yan? Is he in mortal danger?"
[Currently at 60 health, will not recover anytime soon.]
【it is good. 】
Xie Yan looked at him, her expression utterly calm. "It's Li Chuan. He's here to get revenge on me, isn't he?"
Shen Yan was drenched in cold sweat, his throat tightening. "It's my fault. He didn't know I was the one who attacked him. It's all my fault..."
At this point, it no longer matters whose fault it was.
Xie Yan shook off Shen Yan's hand and went back, only to see that the car door where she had just been sitting was twisted and deformed, and someone had smashed the window.
It goes without saying who that person is.
Someone in the car slowly woke up. As expected, everyone had bruises, but none of them seemed as serious as Xie Yan.
The woman in the back row holding her child was terrified. Looking out the window, she felt like she was about to fall off a cliff. She didn't dare to cry or move.
Turning his head, he saw Xie Yan with her face covered in blood and became even more frightened.
But she quickly came to her senses, tears streaming down her face, "Classmate, I beg you, child, please save my child..."
The little girl in my arms had been awake for a while, but she didn't cry or fuss; she was very well-behaved. She was protected in my arms and didn't have a single injury.
Without saying a word, Xie Yan took the child, placed him in a safe place, and then went back to rescue the others.
Shen Yan staggered over. He almost collapsed when he saw Xie Yan's blood, but Xie Yan didn't want to argue with him. Her time was precious, and every minute and second was burning her life.
She asked Shen Yan to help rescue the person, and only then did she realize that something was wrong with his foot. It seemed like every step he took was excruciatingly painful, and it might be broken.
The system's voice rang out like a death knell: "[Your health is down to 20. You're really going to die. Are you sure you want to keep using your stamina?]"
Xie Yan pursed her lips, her eyes resolute. "Change!"
She took off the necklace around her neck; it was a diamond necklace that Zhou Panpan had given her during the Chinese New Year.
She wrapped the diamond around her finger, clenched her fist, and smashed the front window of the car with a fierce rage. With her hands covered in blood, she pulled Tan Zhuoran and Qi Na out first.
With half of the car body hanging outside, she couldn't save the woman behind first, otherwise the front of the car would definitely crash down.
Tan Zhuoran was still relatively conscious. Since her seat was in the back, she wasn't directly impacted. Xie Yan asked her to look after the child and the others, and then ran to rescue the woman in the back row.
This was the first time Tan Zhuoran had experienced something like this. She was shocked by Xie Yan's blood-covered appearance, but seeing that Xie Yan was speaking and walking normally and still had the strength to save people, she temporarily suppressed her wildly beating heart.
When he turned around, he saw that Shen Yan's calves were curved abnormally, and he was walking towards the edge of the cliff with a vacant look in his eyes, each step seemingly his limit.
Without saying a word, Tan Zhuoran stepped forward and grabbed him, but as soon as her hand touched Shen Yan, he collapsed to the ground like a mountain.
Shen Yan was still looking in Xie Yan's direction, his hair plastered to his forehead with cold sweat, looking extremely disheveled, and he even coughed up a lot of blood.
Tan Zhuoran was terrified; she felt as if Shen Yan was about to die.
However, she left her phone in the car and couldn't call an ambulance. Fortunately, since such a serious accident happened on the highway, other cars had already stopped on the side of the road, and several passersby came over to help call 120.
Two minutes later, Xie Yan actually carried the injured woman over in a princess carry.
The onlookers were stunned.
Xie Yan looked terrible, covered in blood, and her figure was thin and frail. It was hard to imagine that she still had the strength to carry someone despite being so badly injured.
Xie Yan put the woman down, and she immediately hugged her daughter and cried in fear. Then she turned around and was about to kowtow to Xie Yan, "Thank you, thank you, thank you..."
Xie Yan quickly supported her and stopped her from moving.
Xie Yan can't accept this.
At this point, she only had 10 health points left.
Xie Yan looked down at her bloodied palm, feeling somewhat dazed.
A passerby nearby was applauding her, as if admiring her skill.
But Xie Yan felt as if she had forgotten something.
……driver.
The car was empty, with only the driver in the front seat remaining, and the curve of the car body was even more dangerous than before.
The fuel tank ruptured, and pungent oil leaked out, emitting an ominous odor.
Xie Yan redeemed the last ten points and walked back towards the front of the car.
Suddenly, she was stopped in her tracks.
Looking back, Shen Yan was lying on the ground in a disheveled state, covered in blood and grime, his eyes so red they seemed to be dripping blood. He reached out and grabbed Xie Yan's slender ankle tightly.
He was humbled to the point of being in the dust, and driven mad to the core, his voice filled with a broken sob.
"Don't go, I beg you, don't go, don't..."
Shen Yan's consciousness should have been fading long ago, but he was holding on. He had several broken bones and puncture wounds, and it was already quite an achievement that he had managed to hold on this long. His strength was no different from that of a cat.
For some reason, Xie Yan's emotions, which she had been holding back for a long time, were suddenly exposed. Her nose tingled, and hot tears welled up in her eyes.
She easily pried Shen Yan's hands off, squatted down, and touched his cold cheeks.
Shen Yan immediately grabbed Xie Yan's hand as if grasping at a lifeline. The blood on his lips had not yet dried and continued to gush out, as if his lungs had been injured.
But he only cared about the blood-covered girl in front of him.
"Please, please don't go over there..."
It's obviously dangerous over there.
But Xie Yan couldn't not go.
Since her fate is already sealed, how will we know if it will work if we don't try? What if it does?
She squatted on the ground, her vision so blurred she could barely see Shen Yan's face. She wiped away her tears, but couldn't wipe them away completely.
"Shen Yan, don't doubt yourself. You're actually a good person. Keep doing well in the future, remember to take your medicine on time, and get along well with your brother, okay?"
Her voice was so gentle, and her smile was just as gentle, that Shen Yan felt an overwhelming fear wash over him, and he felt like he was suffocating.
"No...no! No!! No—!!!"
Before she could finish speaking, Xie Yan resolutely got up and ran towards the edge of the cliff.
Her back view was resolute, as if every step she took was on the edge of a knife.
The result, unsurprisingly, was a failure.
The driver's body was stuck halfway out, and as the car fell, perhaps driven by a survival instinct, he stubbornly clung to Xie Yan and refused to let go.
Xie Yan did not struggle.
There is no point anymore.
When she smelled the faint scent of alcohol on the driver, she knew that fate, it seemed, was something that could never be changed no matter how many times it went around in circles.
Drunk driving, a car accident, a winding mountain road—a predetermined ending was all prepared for her at some quiet moment.
At the moment she fell off the cliff, Xie Yan heard the system announce in her mind that 20,000 points had been credited to her account.
And from afar above came Shen Yan's shrill, inhuman roar.
A few seconds later, the car and its occupants crashed heavily to the ground, followed by an explosion. Flames shot into the sky, engulfing the world with their scorching heat that seemed to burn and destroy everything.
