Lu Jinyan realized the car was about to hit them.
His pupils suddenly trembled, and he violently jerked the steering wheel to swerve.
"Bang..."
The car crashed into a utility pole across the street.
Another black sedan sped over, and unable to brake in time, slammed into the rear of their car.
With another loud crash, the vehicle overturned into the green belt.
Leaves and grass fragments flew everywhere amidst the violent impact.
Pedestrians were startled, and by the time they recovered, the accident had already happened.
The car, now on its side in the middle of the green belt, was emitting white smoke.
The car that caused the collision sped away from the scene.
"Oh my god, there's been a car accident," someone exclaimed loudly.
"Quick, call for an ambulance."
Crowds began to move towards the accident site.
During the second impact, Jiang Nuan tightly clutched her third brother's head, minimizing the damage.
The air seemed to stand still.
There was no sound around Jiang Nuan; the brief deafness made her world as quiet as if time had stopped, the air appearing to warp.
Her gaze was hazy as she looked at her third brother leaning against the car door.
Her left hand was in severe pain. After the numbness from the violent impact, a piercing ache set in.
She swallowed and then slowly spoke, "Third brother, are you okay?"
Lu Jinyan was dazed and unresponsive, blood trickling from his forehead.
Although Jiang Nuan was not knocked unconscious, she felt unwell, dizzy, and her vision was blurry.
She slowly closed her eyes.
People gathered around to help, and Jiang Nuan heard someone tapping on the car window.
She slowly opened her eyes and said to the person tapping, "Could you please call for an ambulance? Thank you!"
The middle-aged woman tapping on the window nodded and said, "Yes, yes, I'll call for an ambulance right now. Please hang in there."
Jiang Nuan looked at her third brother with concern. She still held her phone in her hand. When she looked at it, she saw that her hand had been cut by something during the violent impact, and it was covered in blood.
She calmed herself and called Mu Jiuchen.
"Nuannuan, have you arrived?" Mu Jiuchen's gentle voice came through.
Jiang Nuan: "...Mu Jiuchen, I was in a car accident."
"Car accident? Where?" Mu Jiuchen, who was about to drive to the company to handle some matters, quickly turned his car around upon hearing Jiang Nuan's words.
Jiang Nuan said weakly, "Near Hua Ying's house."
"Wife, I'm coming right now. You have to hold on, don't hang up, talk to me, okay? Please!" His voice was filled with helpless pleading.
He could detect the weakness in her voice. She was strong-willed, and if she weren't about to collapse, her voice wouldn't be so frail.
Jiang Nuan smiled. She was not in mortal danger, but she couldn't resist the beckoning darkness.
She could smell the strong scent of blood on herself.
Blood was flowing down her face.
"Husband, I'm fine, don't worry..."
Jiang Nuan ultimately couldn't hold on and fainted.
"Nuannuan, wife..." Mu Jiuchen's expression was anxious and pained.
Why?
Why did something happen to her the moment he turned away?
Why could he never protect her?
"Ahhh..." Mu Jiuchen screamed in anguish.
His car sped up even faster.
When Mu Jiuchen arrived at the scene, Jiang Nuan and Lu Jinyan had already been lifted out of the car by paramedics.
He pushed through the crowd, his handsome features momentarily stunned as he looked at Jiang Nuan's blood-covered face, his sturdy physique appearing to waver.
"Wife." Mu Jiuchen walked over and asked the emergency doctor anxiously, "How is my wife?"
The doctor glanced at him and said calmly, "She's fine. She was knocked unconscious, and neither of them is in critical condition. However, they still need to be sent to the hospital for examination. The impact was very severe, we need to check for internal injuries."
Mu Jiuchen: "Send them to the hospital I mentioned."
After speaking, Mu Jiuchen called Song Baoli.
Jiang Nuan trusted her medical skills, and now Song Baoli could better examine them.
Song Baoli rushed to the hospital upon receiving the call.
...
Chu Yunying stood by the window, making a phone call. After waking up, she realized Mu Jiuchen and Jiang Nuan had targeted her.
She immediately launched her retaliation.
Her father had told her that to defeat an enemy, one must be sufficiently ruthless.
Yesterday, she had bathed for two full hours to clean herself. This morning, she bathed again and changed into new clothes, appearing refreshed and captivating.
"Miss, the car accident scene was horrific. Jiang Nuan and her brother must be half-dead, if not dead."
Chu Yunying smiled maliciously, feeling an immense sense of satisfaction. "My revenge has just begun. She better be alive."
"Miss, I've received the money. If there are any more good jobs, remember to call me." A happy voice came from the other end.
Chu Yunying: "Okay! But I advise you to take the money and leave Modu. If someone discovers your existence, you will die a terrible death. Don't blame me for not warning you."
The man chuckled confidently and said, "It's okay, the license plate was fake, and no one can see me. They won't know who I am. I'm going to a nightclub now. Miss, just call me if you need anything."
Chu Yunying: "It's best if you're this confident."
Chu Yunying hung up the phone, killing intent flashing in her eyes.
Jiang Nuan, I grew up in the underworld. My father, born into the criminal world, taught me many things.
Jiang Nuan can't play against her.
When she gets ruthless, she can make Jiang Nuan wish she were dead. Today is just the beginning; in the future, she will create countless such accidents.
Jiang Nuan thought that by asking Ye Anran to trouble her, she wouldn't be able to resolve it?
In the end, Ye Anran was too scared to ask for her money back.
"Miss, it's time for your IV drip. Please lie down first."
The nurse entered and said this, prompting Chu Yunying to turn and lie down on the hospital bed.
Hong Bin was very busy and didn't come to see her. She also understood that Hong Bin was busy trying to replace her and acknowledged his current efforts.
Lying in bed, Chu Yunying couldn't help but smile, her mind filled with the image of a suffering Jiang Nuan. She was truly happy.
...
Mu Jiuchen's affiliated hospital.
He stood outside the examination room, his handsome face radiating a chilling aura. Nurses entering and exiting quickly moved away, their fear of his terrifying coldness preventing them from lingering.
Mu Jiuchen waited for an hour before Song Baoli emerged from the examination room.
Mu Jiuchen walked over, and before he could ask, Song Baoli said, "They're fine. Nuannuan has a minor fracture in her left pinky finger, and the other wounds are not serious."
"Lu Jinyan suffered a mild concussion from the impact, and he's also fine. He'll just need a few days to rest. Fortunately, the car was expensive and had high safety features; otherwise, surviving such an accident would have been difficult."
Although Song Baoli spoke slowly, his words finally eased Mu Jiuchen's worried heart.
"Thank you!" Mu Jiuchen's body radiated a coldness.
Song Baoli always felt cold when he was with him and didn't want to stay any longer. He said, "Since there's nothing else, I'll be going. The doctors are very professional, and my presence here is of no use."
Mu Jiuchen's voice was clear and cold, "Okay! Thank you for your trouble."
After Song Baoli left, Mu Jiuchen went to visit Jiang Nuan in her ward.
As he entered the elevator, he called Yun Xiaofan.
"Sir!"
Mu Jiuchen's tone was sinister, "Have you found out?"
