CHAPTER 207: CHAPTER 68: BLOOD-RED HIGHWAY
After making several consecutive calls, Su Ziceng still couldn’t get in touch with Yan Wuxu. "No answer, what is Ah Xiang doing?" Due to her pregnancy, Yan Wuxu’s phone was kept by her driver, Ah Xiang.
The dull ringtone of the mobile phone came from the front seat. Blood dripped from the steering wheel, and the driver, Ah Xiang, was unconscious in the driver’s seat, his chest barely heaving. The smell of blood and gasoline filled the deformed cabin.
The car window was smashed, and Yan Wuxu’s pale, colorless face stared blankly; her lower body was stuck in the seat, with waves of abdominal pain coming one after another. She tried to pull out her legs, but there was no strength in her entire body.
Realizing the massive trouble he had caused, the thrill from the drug Fei Qing had taken faded away. He opened the car door and forced apart the seat that was crushing Yan Wuxu, and the unconscious Ah Xiang in the front seat let out involuntary groans.
Yan Wuxu’s legs could now move. Because of Ah Xiang’s protective actions just before, she had fastened her seatbelt, so except for some bruises on her forehead, she was unharmed. However, the seat she was sitting on was completely covered in blood, with warm streams uncontrollably flowing from under her legs.
She remained motionless, watching the slow flood of red water between her slender legs, a sound like that of tiny mosquitoes in her body telling her that a life was passing from her body along with that warm fluid.
"Wuxu," seeing her still motionless, Fei Qing could only personally pull her out. Yan Wuxu was pulled out of the car, her legs unable to straighten; she stood with her legs slightly spread in a posture similar to urinating, dazedly remaining on the road.
"Oh God," Fei Qing looked at the ground under Yan Wuxu’s feet, unable to utter a word, his hands hastily searching in his pockets, his throat full of terrified murmurs, "I’m calling an ambulance right away, and that driver, he’s still breathing."
Fei Qing’s mind couldn’t distinguish what to do, as he watched the man slumped over the driver’s seat. Everything that had happened was like a dream. He pressed down on the brake, but the Su Family car lost control and crashed into the guardrail.
Looking at the seemingly unconscious Yan Wuxu, Fei Qing frantically pressed the phone.
The phone was snatched away fiercely, "Don’t save him." Yan Wuxu then looked at Ah Xiang on the seat, his foot still on the brake, "You must have a private doctor you know. Hurry, get in the car, take me away! Any of those private doctors who performed abortions for the women you were with."
Listening to the sharp cries of Yan Wuxu beside him, Fei Qing hesitated between her and the car. The smell of gasoline from the accident car was getting stronger. If he didn’t hurry, the people inside might lose their lives.
"Fei Qing," ten fingers tightened around Fei Qing’s hand, the nails showing a deathly pale color, "Do you want to go to jail for manslaughter? My baby, hurry up."
Going to jail. These two words scared Fei Qing pale; he couldn’t go to jail, especially now, as Mr. Fei was running for city council. His father had said that if he was elected, the Fei Family and he would prosper greatly. He was only nineteen with a promising future ahead. Fei Qing looked at Yan Wuxu in front of him, pulled her into his car, pressed the accelerator, and as the blood and transparent gasoline on the road mixed together, getting hotter, a spark plug ignited, and with a "boom," the car exploded.
Su Family’s phone rang soon after, Su Qingzhang was hosting several important guests, Secretary Wang tried to contact several times but was suppressed by Chang Mei, saying she would handle it.
On Su Ziceng’s side, he also received news that Ah Xiang’s car had an accident on the highway, the car was destroyed, and there were fatalities. After hearing this news, Su Ziceng rushed to the police station, the caller said only the driver died, and did not mention Yan Wuxu.
Chang Mei also arrived at the police station, according to the accident site reports, it was said that Ah Xiang carelessly crashed into a mountain, the fuel tank ruptured, and the spark plug ignited causing the car and its occupant to perish.
"Was there only the driver in the car?" Chang Mei did not inquire about other matters but kept asking.
Su Ziceng looked at the photos of the charred car body, feeling somewhat heavy in his heart, sure that Ah Xiang must have had an accident while taking Yan Wuxu. After thinking, Yan Wuxu had no relatives in Mo City, likely she went to Mrs. Yan’s place. After contacting Mrs. Yan, she only said Wuxu missed her younger siblings and wanted to rest at home for a few days, "Then it’s good, auntie, please tell Wuxu, after I sort out things here, I will visit her." Su Ziceng didn’t tell Yan Wuxu about Ah Xiang’s accident, fearing it would startle her.
