Huo Ci hurriedly turned the steering wheel to avoid it. His car moved to the left lane and made way for the truck. However, the truck opposite also moved to the left, obviously trying to block his path.
“Grandpa!” Xiaoqi screamed and looked towards the left window in horror.
Huo Ci subconsciously looked over and saw an identical heavy truck charging towards them from the left.
At the same time, the truck in front of them seemed to have gone crazy as it charged towards them.
Xiaoqi’s little face turned pale. After another round of panicking, he heard a loud bang. The truck opposite had already crashed into them.
The moment the two trucks collided with them, Huo Ci’s pupils constricted. He let go of the steering wheel and threw himself at Xiaoqi without a second thought and used his body to protect the little fellow.
They heard another explosion.
Huo Ci felt his internal organs shift in an instant. The truck on the other side was still moving forward, crushing the entire front part of the car.
Because of the pressure, his entire body was in extreme pain that left his body numb.
However, his consciousness was unprecedentedly clear. He looked at the child in front of his chest and tried his best to prop himself up. He used his body as a shield to firmly support him.
The truck opposite had crushed the front of the sports car. The driver was wearing sungla.s.ses, a mask, and was dressed in black. He wrapped himself up tightly and looked at the sports car that was mangled beyond recognition. In order to ensure that nothing went wrong, he got out of the car to take a look.
Through the car door, he could vaguely see that the man in the car was covered in blood. He reached in to check for his breathing, but there was no longer any warmth or scent. He only left after confirming it.
Astonishingly, he had only taken two steps when he clearly heard a shout from the car. The voice was very soft, and it was the voice of a child.
The driver stopped in his tracks and turned around. After taking a closer look, he could clearly see that the man in the car was in a protective position. His entire body was in a strange arch, using his body to prop up a small s.p.a.ce.
His back seemed to be made of concrete, and no one knew what kind of willpower he had to resist the crushing weight of the heavy truck with his body.
“Grandpa, Grandpa…” Xiaoqi cried. He could not see anything and could only feel the blood dripping onto his face. He shouted in fear, “Grandpa, Grandpa, where are you? ”
The driver turned around and took out a metal rod from his car. The sound of the metal rod dragging on the ground sounded like an alarm that foresaw death.
The pair of eyes under the sungla.s.ses were sinister. He thought that the child was already dead, he certainly did not expect him to still be alive. If the child did not die, leaving him behind would be a disaster.
When Xiaoqi’s arm was grabbed by someone, he subconsciously grabbed that person’s hand. After realizing that it wasn’t his grandfather, he hurriedly retracted his hand.
“Come out!” The driver pulled Xiaoqi out with a sinister smile. Hearing the child’s helpless cries of despair, he laughed arrogantly.
“Grandpa, Grandpa, Grandpa, where are you?” Xiaoqi shouted desperately. He could not see anything.
“Stop shouting. Your grandfather is already dead. Don’t worry, you’re going to h.e.l.l soon to accompany your grandfather.” The driver laughed sinisterly and pulled on him forcefully. “Don’t blame me. If you want to blame someone, blame your grandfather for his sins. The retribution befell on you.”
Just as he said that, there was an ear-piercing screech of brakes. The driver who was pulling on Xiaoqi suddenly froze. He turned around and saw a black sports car parked at the side. Gritting his teeth, he raised the metal rod in his hand and smashed it at the child’s head.
He did not expect the child to have such strength. When he was distracted, he turned back and realized the stick hit nothing.
“Xiaoqi!” Si Chengluo got out of the car and shouted in panic. His eyes suddenly froze and madness spread in his eyes.
When the driver saw that someone had arrived, he spat angrily and turned to flee. After all, his mission to kill Huo Ci had been completed, so it did not matter whether that child died or not. It would be the same if he died the next time round.
He ran very quickly, but the person opposite him suddenly appeared in front of him like a ghost. Before he could react, the metal rod in his hand was s.n.a.t.c.hed away.
He widened his eyes in horror as he saw the youth opposite him smash at him suddenly.
At the last moment of his life, he could even feel his own brain matter, mixed with his blood, flowing down. It was a warm feeling. With a bang, he fell to the ground, dead.
The ambulance came and went quickly.
The emergency room was eerily silent, Nangong Lengyu stood in front of the operating table. Her cold and beautiful face was as pale as paper and her eyes were frighteningly calm.
Didn’t people say that a scourge would live for a thousand years? Why did he die just like that? Why did he die without telling her anything?
He owed her so much, but in the end, he did not even apologize to her. She had been waiting for him to apologize to her.
Lu Yubai stood at the entrance of the emergency room, his eyes red. He watched as the woman stood in front of the operating table for a moment before she suddenly lost her strength. She knelt on the ground, covered her face, and cried out loud. For a moment, his emotions were complicated and he didn’t know what to say.
Sometimes, people hurt others and run away because of their pride and obsession. It was really not worth it. Did they have to wait until they were dead and separated from each other before they could face their feelings?
Nangong Lengyu held her heart tightly. Instantly, she felt like her heart was being sliced by a knife. There was a salty taste in her throat as she sobbed while her vision turned black.
She finally understood what Ruoshui always said. Other than death, there was nothing that was worth people using their entire lives to hate it.
But it was too late.
Ling Sheng was filming an advertis.e.m.e.nt on the South Sea Island. She borrowed a car and had prepared to go to a beautiful seaside village listed on the tourist guide. When her phone rang, she was already on the highway.
“Sheng Sheng, it’s me, Fifth Uncle.” Lu Yubai’s voice was very low and hoa.r.s.e. He paused for a moment before saying, “Let me tell you something. Don’t be agitated.”
Ling Sheng’s head was buzzing. She could hear Lu Yubai’s low, suppressed, and painful voice as he hesitated. He said, “Sheng Sheng, your father was in a car accident. He couldn’t be saved.”
She lost her grip and the steering wheel slipped, causing the car to crash into the guardrail beside.. Her vision turned black and she lost consciousness.
