Looking at her two adorable children, Jiang Nan Fang didn't start the car immediately. Instead, she turned and hugged them.
"If you never see him again, and you'll never have a daddy again, will you hate me?"
Her mother had raised them alone, betrayed by her godmother, and unloved by their father. Her heart ached. She wished her children could understand her.
"No. We don't care if we have a daddy. As long as we can be with you forever, that's enough."
Jiang Nan Fang no longer wanted to return to Dan Country. Although she had worked hard there for several years and was familiar with everything, Tang Xue Ying had ruined it all. Now, she just wanted to start a new life somewhere no one knew her.
The car sped forward under the bright sun. Jiang Nan Fang discussed with her children where they should go. The world was vast, and it was just the three of them, relying on each other. As long as they were happy, she would take them anywhere they wished.
"How about we go to Finland?" Jing Yu suggested. "I heard you can see the aurora there, and the winter snow scenery is very interesting. I've never seen the aurora before."
Jiang Nan Fang asked Jing Tian, "Do you have any objections to your brother's suggestion?"
"No. As long as I can be with my brother and Mommy forever, I'm willing to go anywhere."
Jiang Nan Fang pulled the car over to the side of the road and took out her phone to check for flights to Finland. Fortunately, there was one departing that afternoon, allowing her to leave this painful place as soon as possible. From now on, she wouldn't have to use an alias; she could live openly. She felt as if she were being reborn!
After booking the tickets, she set the navigation on her phone and prepared to head to the airport. However, before starting the car, she instinctively glanced at the rearview mirror. She noticed a white car parked about 200 meters behind them. Thinking it was just another vehicle passing by, Jiang Nan Fang didn't pay much attention.
But after driving a few more kilometers, she realized the car was still following them, maintaining a consistent distance. A strong sense of unease washed over her. Jiang Nan Fang slowed down and pulled over to the side of the road, waiting to see how the car behind them would react. She slowed down, hoping they wouldn't be too obvious if they continued to follow.
With no other choice, the car behind could only maintain its speed and drive closer. As it approached, someone rolled down the passenger window. However, as they passed, even with just a narrow gap, Jiang Nan Fang keenly spotted the person inside the car!
Huo Dong Ning.
That damned woman was following her! Recalling everything from her blind date to their trip to Bali, and her recent experiences, Jiang Nan Fang suddenly seemed to understand something. Tang Xue Ying had been in Dan Country all along and had never returned to Nan Cheng. Even if she wanted to harm Jiang Nan Fang, she couldn't have executed so many elaborate schemes in such a short time. Someone in the country must have been assisting her. If not Huo Dong Ning, then who else? Besides herself and the Jiang family, who else harbored such deep hatred for her? That damned woman, after causing her to be separated from her children again, still wouldn't leave her alone! What did she want? Did she think Jiang Nan Fang was so easily bullied? She was asking for death!
Jiang Nan Fang decisively turned the car back onto the road and stomped on the accelerator. "Jing Yu, Jing Tian, buckle up. Mommy is going to chase someone ahead."
Perhaps surprised by Jiang Nan Fang's sudden pursuit, Huo Dong Ning also floored the accelerator and sped forward as the distance between their cars narrowed. The road was narrow, with only one lane in each direction. Fearing oncoming traffic and the risk of a collision if she had to swerve, Jiang Nan Fang found herself in a high-speed chase.
After a few minutes of pursuit, they finally exited the narrow stretch of road. Seeing Jiang Nan Fang determined to catch up, Huo Dong Ning suddenly slowed down, shifted into reverse, created a distance of several tens of meters, and then turned the car around, heading in the opposite direction.
Her desperate attempt to flee only confirmed her guilt in Jiang Nan Fang's eyes. How could she let her go? Seeing her turn around, Jiang Nan Fang also changed direction and pursued her again. Not content with just chasing, Jiang Nan Fang honked her horn wildly as she drove.
"Huo Dong Ning, I know it's you up ahead!"
"I also know about all the good deeds you've done. I won't let you go today!"
"If you value your life, stop the car! Don't force me! Otherwise, I'll drive you off a cliff!"
Her relentless pursuit and the threatening words made Huo Dong Ning even more afraid to stop. She sped forward desperately. Fortunately, Zhan Bei Jue had equipped Jiang Nan Fang's Cadillac with a powerful engine, making the ride smoother as they accelerated.
Seeing the engine RPMs climb higher, she gritted her teeth and pushed the accelerator to the floor. With a loud "CRASH," she rammed into the back of Huo Dong Ning's car. Both vehicles shook violently. But Huo Dong Ning still refused to stop, so Jiang Nan Fang hit her again, and again.
Huo Dong Ning's car door was already dented halfway in, battered and bruised. After a few more collisions, it would be scrap. Suddenly, Jing Tian cried out from the back seat.
"Mommy, don't drive so fast! Brother, he's not okay, he's going to throw up!"
Jiang Nan Fang, consumed by her desire for revenge, had almost forgotten about her children. Hearing Jing Tian's words, she immediately slowed down. Huo Dong Ning took the opportunity to pull away. Glancing at the rearview mirror, Jiang Nan Fang saw that both children looked distressed. Jiang Nan Fang had no choice but to stop the car.
"I'm sorry, Mommy drove too fast just now. Jing Yu, are you alright?"
Before she could reply, Jing Yu pushed open the car door and ran to the side of the road, vomiting violently. Jiang Nan Fang was about to get out to check on him when Jing Tian also felt dizzy and unwell.
"Mommy, I don't feel well either. I can't breathe, I feel so sick."
"I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry, it's all Mommy's fault. Be good, Tian Tian, don't be scared, Mommy will come and hug you."
As she spoke, before Jiang Nan Fang could reach her, Jing Tian's head lolled to the side. She seemed to have fainted, losing consciousness. Jiang Nan Fang was terrified and rushed to embrace her.
"What's wrong, Tian Tian? Don't scare Mommy! What's wrong? Speak! Mommy will call a doctor for you!"
Outside the car, after a bout of vomiting, Jing Yu felt even worse instead of better. Without even calling out to Jiang Nan Fang, his body slumped to the side, and he too suddenly lost consciousness. With both children unconscious, Jiang Nan Fang felt an overwhelming sense of heartache and helplessness.
As she anxiously held Tian Tian, trying to reach for her phone to call 120, Zhan Bei Jue's car slowly drove towards them from the opposite direction. Ah Zhong, seeing Jiang Nan Fang's car parked against the traffic with its door open from a distance, quickly alerted Zhan Bei Jue.
"Mr. Zhan, look, isn't that Miss Jiang's car? Didn't she leave already? What's happening? Could something have happened?"
Zhan Bei Jue opened his eyes and immediately saw the deformed front of the car and a small child lying on the concrete outside the door. Thinking it was a car accident, he ordered Ah Zhong to drive closer.
"Go take a look."
Just as Jiang Nan Fang pulled her phone from the front, Zhan Bei Jue appeared as if from nowhere. Seeing her sitting in the car, holding the unconscious Jing Tian, he frowned deeply. "What happened?"
Jiang Nan Fang, too distressed to explain, said, "Quick, help me call 120!"
