Chapter 240: Qin Yun Almost Died from Anger

At this moment, it was eleven o’clock in the afternoon. The sun was already high in the sky, heating the ground to the point where you could feel the heat rising through your feet.

People walking on the street kept their heads down, either carrying umbrellas or wearing sun hats, their view obstructed, so only a few noticed the car that had been peacefully parked by the roadside suddenly moving.

Fang Zhou and Chu Xinran had just crossed the road and were about to step onto the sidewalk when an overwhelming sense of unease hit them.

It felt like a beast was stirring inside his body, wanting to roar, jump out, and break free!

Fang Zhou suddenly looked up and noticed something was wrong with a car speeding toward them!

Its speed was too fast, and the direction was wrong, heading straight for them!

That black sedan was like a beast with its jaws wide open, ready to swallow them whole!

Even the passersby noticed something was wrong and shouted, “Watch out!”

“Ah!! Move out of the way!”

Fang Zhou’s pupils contracted, and his body’s reflex was to pull Chu Xinran back several steps!

The car was almost upon him, about to knock him down!

Qin Yun originally aimed at Chu Xinran but didn’t expect Fang Zhou to pull her away, standing in her place as if determined to be a scapegoat.

Furious, Qin Yun slammed on the brakes and turned the steering wheel.

“Bang!”

With a loud crash, the black car hit the curb, even jumping onto the sidewalk and crashing into a flower bed.

Both airbags deployed, one from the steering wheel and the other from the side, wrapping her tightly.

Before losing consciousness, Qin Yun thought: Damn! At least this car is good quality.

The scene elicited screams from the surrounding people.

Everyone was terrified, feeling the danger deeply.

They almost witnessed a car accident, unsure which families would be shattered.

However, the current state seemed acceptable?

At least, it seemed that except for the driver, there were no casualties.

Fang Zhou and Chu Xinran, having escaped death, were both stunned, staring at the car in the flower bed for a long time without reacting.

The black car just sat there quietly, motionless, though moments ago it was like a raging beast.

In that instant of life and death, Fang Zhou thought: My sister hasn’t gotten her kidney yet. I hope Li Siming can handle the follow-up.

Now, having escaped the danger, Fang Zhou secretly breathed a sigh of relief, thinking: That was fortunate.

He could almost feel the cold sweat soaking his back.

Death had never been so close, more thrilling than a bungee jump.

The sun beamed down, making his body hot and his head dizzy.

Chu Xinran was directly scared stiff, her wide eyes finally reacting as she clung to Fang Zhou, crying.

“Waaah! That scared me to death!”

“Why did you pull me away! You almost got hit, you know!”

Who knew how fast her heart was beating when the car brushed past Fang Zhou, almost leaping out of her chest!

In that moment, she thought that if Fang Zhou died, she wouldn’t live either.

Fang Zhou laughed dryly. He couldn’t just watch Chu Xinran die in front of him.

Even if she was just an ex-girlfriend, or even a stranger, he couldn’t stand by and do nothing.

It was the instinct of a conscientious human being.

As for himself, he didn’t think much at the time. Even if it happened again, he would probably do the same.

It wasn’t about being a saint; it was the ingrained kindness and righteousness in his bones that made his body react faster than his mind.

“It’s okay now. We’re safe, aren’t we? Even the King of Hell would praise my good fortune.”

Fang Zhou tried to use humor to divert attention, but he felt Chu Xinran’s tears soaking his shirt.

She looked up, her teary eyes fixed on Fang Zhou, her voice hoarse, “Don’t do that next time.”

I’d rather die than see you die saving me.

Even if your selfless act is noble, it’s the reason I first fell for you.

But right now, I don’t want you to have such a good quality.

I’d rather you be selfish and live longer.

Their eyes met, each seeing the other’s deepest thoughts.

But Fang Zhou didn’t agree and made no such promise.

His mouth could agree, but his body’s instincts couldn’t.

He just patted Chu Xinran’s back soothingly, changing the topic.

“Alright, we’re okay now. Let’s see what happened to that car.”

Although he wanted to curse when he saw the car speeding toward them, he thought that if the driver hadn’t turned the wheel and sacrificed themselves, they might be lying on the road now.

As a good citizen, Fang Zhou felt it necessary to check and report it.

Chu Xinran pouted, clearly unhappy.

“Why bother? If it weren’t for her, we wouldn’t have been so scared.”

And frankly, they nearly met their end. Why care if she’s dead or alive?

She had seen the driver—a woman wearing a mask and hat, unrecognizable.

Whether the car or the driver was at fault, Chu Xinran didn’t care.

Fang Zhou smiled, patting her hand to comfort her, “Wait here for a bit. I’ll report it, and then we can leave, okay?”

Chu Xinran reluctantly agreed.

She didn’t want to see the person who almost killed her and Fang Zhou.

But Fang Zhou’s worry was unnecessary. By the time he got there, many students had already surrounded the car, checking the situation.

Some had already called for emergency services, just waiting for the ambulance.

Fang Zhou circled to the driver’s side, trying to see what she looked like.

However, the driver’s seat was completely blocked, even her clothes were unrecognizable, so he gave up.

“Wow, such a fancy car can have an accident too? Seems like a brake failure.”

“Maybe, or could be drunk driving.”

“Wait for the traffic police. We’re just here to watch.”

Seeing he couldn’t help, Fang Zhou returned and took Chu Xinran away.

He knew they shouldn’t stay.
