Lin Qiao didn’t know if it was her imagination, but she felt like there was something behind his last words. He seemed a little different today, though she couldn’t quite pinpoint what was different.
“Are you trying to tell me to stop guessing your thoughts and trying to please you?” Lin Qiao pondered for a long time before coming to this conclusion.
She murmured in her heart, “I seriously suspect you’re reluctant to part with that 100 million, so you fabricated some false information for me.”
Su Zhengxing in her consciousness: “…” Who doesn’t have a love brain?
Su Zhengxing, who was driving on the other side, saw that Lin Qiao had stopped talking and was distracted. His eyes dimmed, and the curve of his lips faded.
The car suddenly became quiet. The street scenes outside the window receded.
Just as Lin Qiao was still immersed in the battle with the person in her consciousness, the tires of her companion braked sharply with a whoosh. The huge inertia pushed her forward, and her chest was suddenly tightened by the seat belt, which startled her and brought her back to her senses in an instant.
Less than a second after their car stopped, several more brake sounds were heard from outside. For some reason, the surrounding vehicles stopped one after another, and many cars turned on their hazard lights.
Lin Qiao looked out the windshield and was about to ask a question when she suddenly saw a gray van at the intersection, ramming around like crazy in the middle of the road.
It initially looked for cars smaller than itself to ram. When the other vehicles discovered its intention, they honked their horns and turned around to flee the scene. The van became increasingly aggressive after several unsuccessful ramming attempts, and its engine emitted a ‘buzzing’ roar.
Although the section of road they were on wasn’t a busy one, it was the eve of the evening rush hour, so there was a lot of traffic at the intersection.
The van’s crazy behavior quickly attracted the traffic police, who drove their cars around the van and shouted to the driver to stop immediately.
The driver, for some unknown reason, ignored the traffic police’s warnings and drove the vehicle in a rapid circle, its rubber tires leaving streaks of black tire marks on the asphalt.
Seeing this, the traffic police tried to move forward to force the van to stop.
The van noticed this, flashed its headlights, stepped on the accelerator, and rushed toward the sidewalk for its life.
Because there was no time to set up a cordon to evacuate the crowd, when the van lost control and rushed toward the sidewalk, it caused some pedestrians to be directly knocked away by the huge impact force.
Accompanied by the sounds of metal scraping and glass shattering, the front windshield of the van was covered in bright red.
Lin Qiao screamed on the spot.
The fact that a pedestrian had been struck suddenly changed the nature of the situation. The traffic police acted swiftly, not wasting a moment. Three vehicles rammed the van head-on, forcing it to a stop.
After the van driver was subdued, shrill cries emanated from the direction of the pedestrian who had been struck.
A little boy, about six or seven years old, leaped to his feet in panic, his sobs piercing his heart as he watched a woman lying on the ground, bleeding profusely.
“Mom! Mom, get up! Mom!”
“Save my mom! Save my mom! Please, please!”
Although someone had already called 120, the woman’s injuries were likely grave.
Lin Qiao couldn’t bear to watch any longer and turned her head away, only to catch sight of Su Zhengxing trembling slightly in the driver’s seat.
There seemed to be something wrong with him. He gripped the steering wheel tightly with both hands, his lips were pale, his expression was extremely nervous, and sweat was oozing from his forehead.
“Mr. Su?” Lin Qiao called him tentatively.
He seemed not to hear anything, his eyes fixed on the tragedy at the intersection, his body stiff, the veins in his neck bulging like snakes.
This reaction was…
Good day, everyone!
