I never expected that an old guy like Si Jiangchen would own a motorcycle as wild as a wolf.
In my impression, only flamboyant young men like Wei Yuan would have such a preference. Guys like Si Jiangchen, who have achieved success, generally cherish their own lives the most. They would only sit in a safe and comfortable limousine, being driven by a chauffeur to high - class clubs and office buildings.
Sitting on the backseat of the motorcycle, the near - dusk wind blew across my cheeks, making the hair that had slipped out of my helmet flutter. It involuntarily reminded me of the first time I sat on a motorcycle, being so ostentatious while riding on the back of Wei Yuan's motorcycle...
"Squeak!"
A soft brake sound. The inertia pushed my daydreaming self straight onto Si Jiangchen's back. My helmet also "thumped" against his.
"Don't zone out!"
Si Jiangchen's voice came through the wind. "If you don't hold onto me tightly, you might fall off."
"Okay!"
I wasn't going to be coy with him. I casually wrapped my arms around his waist and pressed myself tightly against his back.
The motorcycle weaved through the traffic. According to the last location on my phone, we quickly arrived at a not - very - bustling small street near my family's shop.
It had only been a little over ten minutes since the car accident.
As soon as we turned the street corner, we saw an ambulance speeding away.
"Shall we chase it?"
Si Jiangchen saw my eyes following the ambulance's warning lights in the rear - view mirror and asked in a low voice.
I turned my head and shook it vigorously. "No. Let's go to the scene!"
Since A Wen had already been taken away by the ambulance, the doctors would spare no effort to treat him. Even if I followed, I could only wait outside the emergency room.
And I didn't know where Granny White was or what her situation was. She was so badly injured that she might not be able to protect herself at all. I had to find her first!!
After hearing my words, Si Jiangchen parked the motorcycle directly by the roadside.
I jumped off the motorcycle and plunged straight into the crowd of onlookers.
Although the injured had been taken away, the police officers and insurance adjusters still had to determine the nature and loss of the traffic accident, and the driver who caused the accident should still be at the scene...
I squeezed through to the accident scene and found a gorgeous pink two - seat sports car lying across the road. A man in a matching pink shirt and white dress pants was standing there haughtily with his arms folded, looking at the busy police officers.
"Officer, when can I leave?"
The pink - dressed man frowned and looked impatient.
"There are so many people on the road and your speed was so high!" The on - site police officer had already finished inspecting the scene and looked at him seriously. "The injured was on the sidewalk. How did you hit him?"
"How dare you talk to me like that! Be careful or I'll file a complaint against you!"
Hearing the police officer's words, the pink - dressed man pointed at him and shouted. "I was driving normally. Who knew that old guy would suddenly appear in front of my car? I stepped on the brake until it smoked!"
"Rubbish!"
I couldn't bear it any longer. I slapped his hand aside. "You hit my grandpa and you still dare to spout nonsense here!"
The pink - dressed man was caught off guard by my heavy slap on the back of his hand. He winced in pain at the "pop" sound. Just as he was about to curse, he suddenly saw me and was stunned for a moment. His rat - like eyes sized me up furtively, and a lewd smile appeared on his face.
"So that old man is your grandpa."
The pink - dressed man moved closer to me and put his hand on my shoulder. "Your grandpa tried to extort money from me by faking an accident and damaged the front of my multi - million - dollar car. Shouldn't you compensate me?"
"Get out of here!"
I shrugged my shoulder down to avoid his paw and started looking at the ground. I didn't know where Granny White had been hit! There were only a few fragments of the car's front and a shoe on the ground. "... Where was my grandpa hit to?"
I was asking the police officer. If I could know the direction my grandpa was hit, I might be able to find the injured hedgehog along that direction.
"Are you... a relative of the injured?"
The traffic police officer on the scene looked at me sympathetically. "He was hit four or five meters away. Over there."
Saying that, he pointed to a storefront on the street. The window glass there was shattered all over the place, and there were many splatters of blood that shocked me.
I couldn't help clenching my fists. If it weren't for the more important things to do now, I would definitely punch that bastard pink - dressed man in the nose!
"Excuse me, when you came to rescue my grandpa, did you see a hedgehog he was holding?"
I asked the police officer.
"A hedgehog?"
The police officer's brow wrinkled imperceptibly. He didn't understand why the first thing I asked when I rushed over like a madman wasn't about my grandpa's safety.
"Hey, the hedgehog!"
The pink - dressed man came over again, smiling lewdly and trying to put his arm around my shoulder. "When your grandpa rushed in front of my car, he was holding something. Do you want to know where that hedgehog is now... Ah, ouch!!"
Before his fingers could touch my clothes again, he was grabbed by the back of his neck and lifted up. He screeched like a rooster with its throat slit.
Si Jiangchen gave a slight push and threw him to one side.
"You son of a bitch! How dare you hit me?!"
The pink - dressed man landed on his butt painfully, but still stuck out his neck and cursed. "I'll kill you today!"
Si Jiangchen didn't bother with such a person. He naturally put his arm around my shoulder and asked the police officer, "Our family's elder has relatives accompanying him in the hospital. That hedgehog has been with the elder for many years. Finding it is also for the elder's mental comfort."
He had a natural charisma, and the words that came out of his mouth always sounded reasonable. The police officer nodded and looked at the blood - stained area again. "When we rushed over, the old gentleman was hit against the window glass and then fell on the steps. We didn't seem to see any other animals."
I took three steps in two and ran to the storefront full of broken glass. There were still many onlookers there. The shop owner was still recounting the situation just now to the onlookers with a lingering fear.
"Excuse me, did you see a hedgehog that my grandpa was holding?"
I squeezed through and asked.
The shop owner turned to look at me. Although a bit confused, he still shook his head. "I heard a 'bang' and quickly rushed out. I only saw an old gentleman covered in glass shards lying on the steps in front of my shop. There was nothing else."
"Ah!!"
My heart sank like it was filled with lead... Where was Granny White?
There were so many people at the scene. Granny White was just a fist - sized animal and was in a coma. If she was accidentally bumped into or stepped on, her situation would be even more perilous!
"Hey, you bastard! Do you think you can run away after hitting me?"
Suddenly, behind us, the voice of the pink - dressed man came after us. His hand had already grabbed Si Jiangchen's sleeve!
