Song Qingchun’s body shuddered as she whipped her head around to look at the windshield. Su Zhinian, who was driving, was about to pull his gaze back to the road when he felt Song Qingchun’s hand that he was holding shiver uncontrollably. He frowned, and as he turned to look at her, he blurted out, as if on instinct, “What’s…”
Her face was terribly white, and fear filled her eyes. Her lips were trembling like she was about to say something but was unable to due to the heavy quivering of her mouth. Su Zhinian’s heart fell, and the remainder of the sentence “…wrong?” lodged in his throat. He felt a very bad omen, and he turned his sight quickly to follow Song Qingchun’s gaze.
In just one glance, Su Zhinian knew what was happening. An old truck that was twice the size of his car was running at them headfirst at an incredible speed.
If the truck ran into his car, it would definitely crush them under it. The truck was fast enough to kill himself and Song Qingchun. As the thought settled in Su Zhinian’s mind, his hairs all over his body stood on end, and his back was instantly drenched in cold sweat.
Song Qingchun, who finally recovered from the shock, turned around to yell anxiously at Su Zhinian, “Su Zhinian! Car! Car!”
Su Zhinian bit on his lips. Without even the time to console Song Qingchun, he stepped on the brake as his brain churned. They were on a narrow road, and the truck was wide enough to cover the entire lane. There was incoming traffic from behind them, so if he turned around, it would cause a chain accident.
They were between a rock and a hard place.
The truck increased in speed, and it drew closer and closer to Su Zhinian’s car. The truck was moving so fast that even if he slammed on the brake, he wouldn’t be able to stop it.
Song Qingchun is carrying a baby… If there’s too much of a tremor, it might cause a miscarriage!
This risk, he couldn’t take… so there was only one choice and that was…
The truck didn’t seem like it would have passed the safety inspection. If it rammed into the road rails at its speed, it might have tipped down the side, but that might have caused both the driver and the truck to get demolished on the spot.
He would survive as heavy a damage as the truck driver… Therefore, his life was linked to the driver… However, he did promise that he would protect her…
Su Zhinian’s hands that gripped the steering wheel tightened. His lips tensed, and as sweat fell down his forehead, his eyes narrowed suddenly.
Song Qingchun, who was too shocked to respond, saw the truck that was heading toward herself and Su Zhinian suddenly make an emergency turn, about one second before they would collide, to ram into the rails.
