Chapter 857: He Can’t Get Away Just like That!
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Yu Yuehan’s sound of exclamation entered her ears.
Nian Xiaomu stood rooted to the ground as she stared at the car that sped toward her. Even though she wanted to run away, her feet seemed to have been nailed to the ground and she could not move at all. She could only watch helplessly as the car appeared in front of her and she was so afraid that she shut her eyes!
At that moment of life and death, Yu Yuehan grabbed onto her arm and pulled her forcefully into his embrace. Seizing the opportunity, he s.h.i.+fted to the edge of the road and ducked out of the way.
They managed to get out of the way in the nick of time!
The car bypa.s.sed them with a “whoosh”.
It disappeared from their view in an instant…
“Young Master Han!” The a.s.sistant was the first to return to his senses. As he rushed over to Yu Yuehan’s side, he asked anxiously, “Are you alright? I’ll call the ambulance immediately…”
Yu Yuehan held onto Nian Xiaomu tightly with both his hands and lowered his gaze to take a glance at her. Having checked that she was not injured in any way and that her face was merely a little pale. He lowered his voice and instructed the a.s.sistant, “No need, I am fine. Make a police report first.”
Technically speaking, the car should not have been moving at such a high speed, since this was the city area.
Furthermore, the driver was obviously speeding toward Nian Xiaomu… He can’t get away just like that!
A terrifying and chilly ray of light appeared in Yu Yuehan’s dark eyes!
Nian Xiaomu gathered herself and suddenly voiced out, “I remember the car number plate!”
Even though the car was traveling at a very high speed earlier on, she could see the number plate clearly as it was driving directly towards her.
The a.s.sistant made a police report in no time.
The police had immediately looked at the surveillance cameras on the roads and stopped the car at the next intersection.
It was said that the driver had already parked his car at the roadside and had slipped into a deep sleep when the car was stopped.
After a test, it was proved that the alcohol level in his body had surpa.s.sed the regulated amount—it was one hundred percent a drink driving case!
“Young Master Han, the police have already verified the person’s ident.i.ty; he did not have a criminal record, and this is his first drink driving incident. His case is currently being reviewed based on the relevant rules and regulations. It should be a coincidence that he nearly b.u.mped into Miss Nian.”
The a.s.sistant reported respectfully after he finished the call.
By now, the chauffeur had changed the spare tire onto the car.
They would have to stay in City N for another day if they wanted to pursue this matter.
“Head to the airport directly, let’s go back first.” Yu Yuehan held onto Nian Xiaomu’s hand tightly and did not allow her to be a step away from him again.
The delegation got onto the car and made their way to the airport.
Their entire journey was very smooth and nothing else happened.
“Perhaps the Tan family’s ancestral residence was indeed too eerie. I had been feeling panicky since I left that place and I constantly had a feeling that something was about to happen. However, now that I look at it, it might be because my nerves had been too tense.”
Nian Xiaomu followed Yu Yuehan and headed towards the second floor of the departure hall.
Seeing that he had been rather gloomy and refused to speak, she leaned in closer to him and flashed a smiley face.
When Yu Yuehan met her radiant smile, the chilliness beneath his eyes instantly melted away and he reached out to squeeze her face.
“Yeah, it’s good to treasure your life. I like this look of yours, whereby you can still smile like a foolish deer when you are obviously scared to death.”
“…”
Was he praising her or was he being mean to her?
Or was he trying to be mean to her while on the pretext of praising her?
As Nian Xiaomu swatted his hands away, she walked over to the opposite side of the escalator with puffed up cheeks.
Yu Yuehan let her have her way since nothing else had happened throughout their journey here.
When they were about to get off the escalator, a little boy suddenly rushed forward with his anxious parents following behind.
“Slow down, don’t run so quickly. You can’t get up there, be careful…”
“…”
As the heartbreaking exclamations of the parents sounded, Nian Xiaomu, who just happened to be standing in front of the child bent down subconsciously to help support him by the hand.
