Nan Fengyan's eyes flickered. He actually wanted her to promise herself to him in return, but he knew she wouldn't agree. So he said, "Alright, I'll tell you when I need your help one day."
Ruili nodded.
After the two of them had eaten and drunk their fill, Nan Fengyan was about to see Ruili out.
"I don't need you to see me off. I'll go back by myself." Ruili reached out her hand to stop him.
"But I'm worried about you..."
"Nan Fengyan, have you forgotten what kind of background I come from? Don't worry." After saying that, Ruili reached out and patted Nan Fengyan on the shoulder, then hailed a taxi and got in.
Nan Fengyan got into his Maybach and made a phone call:
"Check what exactly has happened to Ruili's family recently. Do it as soon as possible."
After hanging up the phone, Nan Fengyan frowned tightly. There was still a faint sense of unease in his heart. Immediately, he drove in the direction of Ruili and followed her at a moderate distance.
At the second red light while being followed, Ruili noticed Nan Fengyan behind her.
"Driver, please drive faster!"
Ruili couldn't help but urge. She knew Nan Fengyan was a good driver and there was no way she could shake him off, but she still blurted it out subconsciously. After she said it, she just shook her head helplessly.
Seeing the car in front suddenly speeding up, Nan Fengyan stepped on the accelerator and followed. Just then, a van suddenly turned out from a side road. Nan Fengyan didn't care at all. He stepped on the brake, intending to wait for the van to pass first. Unexpectedly, his face suddenly changed, because the speed of the car didn't decrease at all. Instead, it crashed straight forward at a constant speed.
In a split - second, Nan Fengyan turned the steering wheel. Just a few centimeters away, he changed the direction and crashed into a big tree on the side.
With a loud "bang", even Ruili was startled.
"Miss, it seems that the car behind had an accident." The taxi driver slowed down. As he finished speaking, Ruili's face changed drastically.
"Stop the car quickly!"
On the dark street, a black car was parked diagonally. The indicator lights on the front of the car were flashing malfunctionally, while the person in the car remained motionless, as if in a deep sleep.
Ruili seemed to be in a trance as she rushed to the car. Her hands and feet seemed to have a mind of their own as she opened the car door with great proficiency. At a glance, she analyzed the situation in the car. There was a pool of blood flowing under his feet, and his left foot was stuck under the car seat, twisted in an extremely strange way.
"Nan Fengyan!" Ruili called his name and quickly lifted him out of the car.
The sound of the ambulance was getting closer. Ruili's body was also stained with blood. It was from the wound on his foot, which had been cut open by something sharp.
Several medical staff carried Nan Fengyan onto the ambulance. Ruili looked at the blood on her hands, tried to calm herself down, and then got on the ambulance with them.
"If the bones and tendons of this foot are injured, it may need to be amputated!" the doctor said while simply treating Nan Fengyan's wound.
"Please do your best to save him!" Ruili's face was pale, but she still picked up her phone and called Mo Beichen, asking him to arrange everything in the hospital.
Nan Fengyan still hadn't regained consciousness when he was sent into the operating room.
When Mo Beichen and Xia Weilan arrived, Ruili was sitting alone on the chair outside the emergency room, expressionless, as if her soul had been taken away.
Mo Beichen's breath caught in his throat. The Ruili he knew was always calm and self - controlled. She had seen all kinds of storms, but now this state of hers probably meant that Nan Fengyan's injury was very serious.
Xia Weilan grabbed Ruili's hand and hugged her in her arms, comforting her, "It's okay."
But how could it be okay?
Ruili had seen with her own eyes a lot of blood flowing from Nan Fengyan's thigh.
Just then, the door of the operating room opened. The doctor who came out was sweating but let out a sigh of relief.
"The patient is out of danger. He just has a minor skin injury on his foot and a slight concussion on his brain. He needs to rest for a month."
Ruili seemed to suddenly lose all her strength and almost fell to the ground. Maybe because the tense nerves finally relaxed, she seemed to wake up suddenly. She grabbed Xia Weilan's arm.
"I thought he would be in a wheelchair for the rest of his life!"
In the ward, Nan Fengyan was lying on the hospital bed, sleeping peacefully, while Ruili said to Mo Beichen guiltily,
"It's all my fault. I knew he was following behind, but I still told the driver to drive faster."
"Cough... cough..." There was a soft cough from the bed. When they all looked over, they found that Nan Fengyan had opened his eyes and was looking at them.
"Who said it was your fault? It was clearly me..." Before Nan Fengyan could finish his sentence, he coughed again and couldn't speak completely.
A look of guilt flashed across Ruili's face. She immediately fetched a glass of water and handed it to him, helping him lean on her.
Nan Fengyan didn't expect to be so close to Ruili. A glint of light flashed in his eyes, and then he said,
"It was because there was something wrong with the car. The brake was broken."
Nan Fengyan looked at Mo Beichen sadly and said, "Brother Mo, your luxury car is too bad. The brake failed."
At this time, the anesthetic on Nan Fengyan's body hadn't worn off yet. It wasn't time for him to feel the pain. He could still complain to Mo Beichen calmly.
But Mo Beichen thought Nan Fengyan was trying to excuse Ruili. He said coldly, "Are you crazy! You're always speeding. You should know better."
"I'm wronged!" Leaning on Ruili, Nan Fengyan felt extremely comfortable, but he still defended himself, "The brake really failed. I don't know if I've been unlucky recently!"
"Impossible. My car just passed the vehicle inspection!" Mo Beichen remained unmoved.
Nan Fengyan felt that his head really hurt at this moment. He held his head in frustration and said, "It's true. Otherwise, you can send someone to check the car and see if the brake is broken."
Mo Beichen's face darkened and his deep eyes narrowed slightly.
"Husband, Nan Fengyan doesn't seem to be joking. Let's check it out." Xia Weilan also had a bad feeling in her heart. She tugged at Mo Beichen's sleeve.
The atmosphere in the room immediately became solemn. Suspicion flashed through everyone's minds. Could a good car really break down suddenly? If so, they would rather believe that someone was sabotaging it.
After that, Mo Beichen walked directly into the corridor and made a solemn phone call, asking the other person to check on the car.
"Brother Mo, you must find out the truth for me. I don't want the person who hurt me to go unpunished!" Nan Fengyan finally said seriously to Mo Beichen.
When Mo Beichen and Xia Weilan were about to leave, Ruili saw them to the stairs.
"If you need anything, you can tell me." Mo Beichen still said to Ruili when he was leaving.
"Most of the problems have been solved." Ruili said calmly.
Her family only owned a few small supermarkets.
