250: Chapter 250: Car Goes Out of Control and Hits a Pedestrian 250: Chapter 250: Car Goes Out of Control and Hits a Pedestrian “Want to grab a meal together?”
Ye Jiuqing’s tone was very casual, in a devil-may-care manner.
Su He stared at him with a piercing gaze for a few moments and did not immediately agree, instead she pondered for a few seconds.
She asked, “Are you sure it’s just a simple meal?”
Ye Jiuqing’s eyebrows raised slightly, and a mocking smile appeared on his scarlet lips: “What, do you want to date me or something?”
Upon hearing this, Ah Gui, who was standing beside him, couldn’t help but roll his eyes and twitched the corners of his mouth a few times…
Ah Gui thought, “Young Master Jiuqing, can’t we have a proper conversation?
Why do you have to paint yourself into a corner!”
Sometimes, Ah Gui really wanted to split open his master’s head with an axe to see what was really packed inside…
Su He gave him a cold look: “Looks like your illness hasn’t gotten better!”
“Since it’s not better, then you can eat alone slowly!
Lan Yan, Fei Xu, let’s go!”
Having said that, she walked towards the exit of the hotel.
“?
” Ye Jiuqing was taken aback.
“What does she mean by this?
Did she reject me?”
He watched Su He’s retreating figure and asked.
Ah Gui replied, “Yes, Young Master Jiuqing.”
Seriously, if you don’t ask for trouble, you won’t die…
Ah Gui really wanted to give this saying to their Young Master, but then again, it seemed unnecessary because it wouldn’t make a difference!
“Young Master, should we still follow her?” Ah Gui asked cautiously.
Ye Jiuqing frowned and then relaxed, saying, “Follow, why not?
I haven’t done anything wrong!”
After all, what he was best at was having no shame!
Having said that, he strode behind them.
Ah Gui: “…”
Su He and her two companions found a hotpot restaurant near the hotel.
This kind of weather was perfect for hotpot.
As soon as the three of them took their seats, Ye Jiuqing naturally took his seat with them.
Su He frowned slightly and asked, “Why are you following us?”
Ye Jiuqing: “Eating a meal.”
This time Su He didn’t say anything more.
She fell silent, which was as good as allowing him to stay.
Half an hour later.
Su He looked at the man sitting opposite her, motionless like a Buddha, and asked, “Why aren’t you eating?”
Ye Jiuqing’s eyebrows were tightly knit together as he looked at the table full of dishes and the fiery hot soup pot in the middle.
He was sweating from the spiciness without even eating.
Then, he looked up at Su He and said, “Did you do this on purpose?”
Su He innocently replied, “Big brother, before you came in with us, couldn’t you have seen what kind of place this is?”
“Coming to a hotpot restaurant, of course, we’re going to choose a spicy soup base.”
Ye Jiuqing couldn’t eat spicy food, he was allergic to chili, yet Su He’s favorite was eating spicy food.
Naturally, she would choose a spicy soup base at a hotpot restaurant.
Ye Jiuqing: “…”
Su He, watching his gloomy face, continued, “If you want to eat, you can go to the next table and get a separate table for yourself, and ask the waiter for a clear soup base.”
Having said that, she no longer paid attention to him and buried her head in eating as she was truly hungry.
Lan Yan and Fei Xu also quietly glanced and then began to eat.
Ah Gui stood by, not daring to speak.
After a while, Su He’s phone rang.
She glanced at it, it was Jiang Yan calling.
She didn’t put down her chopsticks and answered the call while eating.
“Hello.”
“Where are you?”
Su He looked puzzled upon hearing this.
What did he mean?
She had no idea that the man was standing in front of the door of the hotel she was staying at.
He had been pressing the doorbell for quite a while without any answer before he made the call.
She placed a piece of meat into her bowl and replied, “I’m eating.
What’s up?”
Jiang Yan: “Where are you eating?”
Su He: “At a hot pot restaurant near the hotel.”
Jiang Yan: “Okay, got it.”
Then he hung up the phone.
Only now did Su He come back to her senses.
Could he have also arrived in Country Y?
They had been apart for less than twenty-four hours.
How did he get here so quickly?
Fifteen minutes later, the man’s tall and straight figure appeared in the hot pot restaurant.
Instantly, he attracted the gazes of countless women, simply because he was too outstandingly handsome.
At this time, the place was crowded with diners.
“Oh my God, another handsome guy has shown up.
Looks like coming out for dinner tonight was the right choice!”
Just when Ye Jiuqing had come in earlier, there had already been a stir, and now another had arrived.
Upon entering, Jiang Yan’s deep black eyes scanned the people in the restaurant and finally rested on the seat by the window at the far end.
He then strode over.
Lan Yan saw the man walking toward them and was startled for a moment.
Then she elbowed Su He, who was concentrating on eating her meat.
“Boss, stop eating, Master is here.”
After speaking, she consciously picked up her bowl and moved to the empty seat next to Ye Jiuqing, leaving the seat beside Su He free.
“You wouldn’t mind, would you, Young Master Jiuqing?”
Although she was asking, she had already comfortably taken a seat.
Besides, judging by her expression, how could she possibly not sit just because he objected?
Ye Jiuqing: “…”
Su He looked up at the man standing in front of her, blinked and asked, “Have you eaten?”
Jiang Yan: “No, I came to look for you right after I got off the airplane.”
Su He: “Then sit down.
Let’s eat together.”
The man took off his coat, draped it over Su He’s coat, and sat down beside her.
Ye Jiuqing watched the scene with an expressionless face…
Right then, just as Su He was about to call a waiter to add another set of utensils, Jiang Yan suddenly asked, “Have you had enough to eat?”
Although Su He didn’t know why he was asking, she replied, “Almost.”
The next second, the man said, “Then I’ll wait for you to finish eating.
I’ll just use your utensils, no need to waste another set.”
Su He: “…”
Since when had he become so thrifty?
The people at the table silently listened and said nothing.
Ye Jiuqing scoffed disdainfully, “President Jiang, can’t you afford a set of utensils?
I have money and don’t mind paying for you.”
Knowing full well he was being sarcastic, Jiang Yan remained unfazed.
The man looked up at him, composed, and said, “There’s no need to trouble Young Master Ye.
I simply want to share a set of utensils with my wife, is there a problem with that?”
Ye Jiuqing: “Aren’t you embarrassed?
Don’t you find it disgusting?”
He was typically one to speak faster than he thought…
As soon as he finished speaking, he realized something was amiss.
He quickly looked at Su He and said, “I’m not saying that your stuff is dirty, I’m saying he is dirty.”
He even pointed at Jiang Yan specifically.
Ah Gui couldn’t help but roll his eyes…
Su He glanced at him indifferently and didn’t say a word.
She ate a few more bites, then put down her bowl and chopsticks.
Jiang Yan naturally took them over.
Actually, his diet was mainly light.
It was only after she returned that he started to change, occasionally eating spicy foods, but not too much as his stomach couldn’t handle it.
Su He said, “I’ll have someone change the broth for you.
This one is a bit spicy.”
Jiang Yan didn’t stop her: “Okay.”
Immediately, Su He had the waiter replace the soup base.
But Ye Jiuqing sitting opposite her looked even more displeased.
It was clear to him that Su He was showing favoritism.
“Why is it that when he can’t eat spicy food, you get it changed for him, but when it’s something I can’t eat, you tell me to open my own table?”
As soon as he finished speaking, Su He’s gaze fell on him.
She replied, “Because he is my husband, he has a sensitive stomach, and can’t eat food that’s too spicy.”
Su He’s simple reply instantly silenced Ye Jiuqing, because her reasoning was very sound.
In the next moment, he said, “Fine, since you’ve had your fill, it’s my turn to eat.”
His topic jumped so quickly that those at the table hadn’t even reacted when he already started picking up his chopsticks.
Su He looked deeply at him and said helplessly, “Eat.
No one’s stopping you.”
Sometimes, she really found Ye Jiuqing to be childish, so immature that she couldn’t grasp how he ever became the leader of the mafia!
“…”
Half an hour later.
A group of people walked out of the hot pot restaurant.
The hotel was only a little over seven hundred meters away, and Su He and her group walked back.
At this point, although it was already past 10 pm, the streets were still bustling with people.
At that moment, at the traffic light of a crossroads, stood a group of about twenty people.
On the other side of the road, the green light came on, and the crowd moved towards the middle of the pedestrian crosswalk.
However, just then, a glaring beam of light suddenly came from the right, and a car as if out of control, sped towards them.
“Quick, get out of the way!”
Someone shouted loudly!
Everyone only felt a blur in front of them, their brains went blank for a moment, and they couldn’t react in time.
Even Su He herself didn’t respond in time; she only felt herself spinning around, being carried and toppled into the greenery strips to the side.
Then, screams, the sound of collisions and the crashing of heavy objects were unceasing to the ear.
“Is anyone hurt?”
The man tightly held her in his arms, his deep voice carrying a touch of urgency.
The two fell to the ground, but because they were cushioned by bushes, they weren’t seriously harmed.
Su He shook her head, then turned back, only to see that the sedan had actually driven away.
She furrowed her eyebrows and stood up immediately.
When she saw the chaotic scene not far away, the people lying in puddles of blood, a complex and indescribable emotion flashed in her eyes.
“Quick, call 120!”
After saying that, she ran towards the scene.
Jiang Yan immediately dialed the emergency number 120!
Over here, Lan Yan, Fei Xu, and others managed to dodge in time but still sustained minor injuries.
At the time, a little girl was following behind Lan Yan, she also picked up the child while dodging.
However…
it seemed like the child’s mother…
had been thrown out…
Lan Yan stood up while holding the little girl, then, she saw the woman lying not far away covered in blood, and quickly covered the child’s eyes with her hands.
Ye Jiuqing was almost hit, had Ah Gui not promptly pulled him back from behind.
At that moment, he was walking right behind Su He, and instinctively moved forward to pull her back, but the car’s direction was precisely where Su He was.
If he had proceeded to pull her, he would definitely have been hit.
“Young Master Jiuqing, are you okay?” Ah Gui asked anxiously.
He then reached out his hand to help him up.
But Ye Jiuqing brushed off his hand and immediately asked, “Where is Su He?”
When Ah Gui stood up, he had already seen Su He’s figure, and said, “Young Master Jiuqing, rest assured, Miss Su is fine.”
Ye Jiuqing looked at the chaos before him, his deep blue eyes like the sea slightly squinted.
If he remembered correctly, the target of the car just now seemed to be Su He.
Although it was just a glance, he still noticed something was off about that car.
She had been in country Y for less than a day, and someone had already made a move.
The reason they acted at this time was to stage an accident.
Soon, the police and ambulances arrived.
Even though Su He had witnessed scenes crueler than this, at this moment, the sight before her eyes still somewhat shook her.
It wasn’t for any other reason, but because most of the people lying here were young men and women—they might have been out having fun, preparing to head home, or perhaps just getting off work, on their way back to their houses…
All of them were innocent people…
Su He and Lan Yan assisted the doctors here with some emergency first aid.
And Jiang Yan was with her throughout it all.
“…”
Two hours later.
At the police station.
Su He and the others were cooperating with giving statements, just having finished and ready to leave.
But at this moment, Jiang Feng appeared out of nowhere.
With a serious expression, he said, “Young Madam, Master, that car that hit people has fallen into the river half an hour ago.”
After the car hit people and fled, Jiang Yan had immediately instructed Jiang Feng to start investigating.
Hearing this, Su He’s delicate eyebrows knitted.
Fallen into the river?
Was it really such a coincidence?
Was tonight’s accident intentional or purely accidental?
She doubted it because when she saw the person in the driver’s seat as the car charged forward, he was very alert, not at all like someone losing control of the vehicle due to drunkenness.
And even if the car was out of control, it wouldn’t make sense to immediately drive away after hitting someone—this was very suspicious.
If someone did this on purpose, then their likely target was them, and those innocent people were just…
Jiang Yan put an arm around her shoulder, speaking softly, “I’ll have Jiang Feng thoroughly investigate this.
Don’t think too much about it.”
On the other hand.
Inside a brightly lit villa, a conversation took place.
“It failed, the woman wasn’t hit, and she’s completely unharmed.”
This was a somewhat rough and gruff male voice.
Then a woman’s voice followed, “Huh, she’s that lucky?”
The gruff male voice continued, “It was because the man by her side reacted too quickly; they both dodged it.”
The woman let out a cold laugh, then said, “Have the people been dealt with?”
The man knew what she was asking about and replied, “It’s been taken care of—the person and car both fell into the river.
They’ll probably search until the end of time without finding anything.”
The river was fast-flowing, like finding a needle in the ocean.
The woman’s unhurried voice came again, “Make sure there’s no trace left; don’t leave any handle!
This time, just consider it a warning and a lesson for her, after all, there’s plenty of time ahead!”
The gruff male voice responded, “Yes, I understand.”
…
Hotel.
After Su He came back, she just sat on the sofa in a daze.
Jiang Yan came out of the study and saw her still sitting on the sofa in the same position.
He frowned slightly and walked over.
Jiang Yan sat beside her and then picked her up, placing her on his lap.
At this moment, he still felt a sense of fear lingering in his heart.
“What’s wrong, what are you thinking about?”
The man thought she was still worried about what happened tonight.
However, Su He said, “I’m thinking about the surgery tomorrow.”
Because at dinner time, Davis had sent her a message that the surgery could be arranged for the following afternoon, with both cesarean section and the craniotomy taking place simultaneously.
Jiang Yan was stunned; it seemed he worried too much.
He thought she had been scared by tonight’s events.
Su He looked at him, knowing what he was concerned about.
She then said, “Don’t worry, I don’t have any psychological trauma, just feeling a bit of guilt.
If the person tonight really came for us, then these people are the most innocent victims; they shouldn’t have suffered like this.”
Jiang Yan held her hand, pinching her soft fingers, and said, “Rest assured, their medical expenses will be covered by the Jiang Family.”
“Do you suspect anyone?” asked Jiang Yan.
Su He shook her head; she honestly couldn’t think of who it might be.
She hadn’t been in Country Y for long, and the other party was already prepared with this move, clearly a hasty plan.
Because her trip to Country Y was a sudden decision.
She didn’t want to think about this matter right now because the most important thing at present was Qing Wu’s issue.
She could postpone this matter.
Since the other party didn’t succeed this time, it meant there would be a next time.
Well, that’s up to them; she would rise to the surface when the time came.
