The car that had hit Xiao Shenglin backed up quickly. It stopped at a spot not too far away from the man before it revved its engine and headed back in his direction as if the car intended on hitting him again. Screams erupted all around. Song Xuanhe broke out into a sprint but was quickly restrained by the driver who had been restraining the man who had had his head down earlier. “You can’t go over there! It’s dangerous!”

Zhou Nan stared at Xiao Shenglin, who was lying on the ground, with great alarm. He belatedly looked up after hearing the screams. His pupils constricted. His body was slower than his mind. Subconsciously though, he moved to stand in front of Xiao Shenglin. However, Xiao Shenglin was still awake. He used all of his remaining strength to push Zhou Nan away.

“Lin zi—”

Zhou Nan’s voice dripped with despair. Meanwhile, Song Xuanhe was struggling with all his might against the person restraining him.

“Piss off!”

“Song shaoye, you cannot go over there.”

Song Xuanhe had some training in combat. The person holding him down could not restrain him on his own now that Song Xuanhe was worked up. Several other people immediately jumped out of the car behind them to assist. It took three large men to hold him down.

At the same time, the sirens of an ambulance and police cars blared through the air. They sounded like cracks of thunder striking through the air as they covered everyone’s panicked screams. Nevertheless, none of those vehicles would be able to stop the car that was currently hurtling towards Xiao Shenglin again.

The screaming people also realized that the car had a target. They stopped panicking. Instead, they all focused on one spot. Some people had faces full of fear while others covered their eyes.

Those two or three seconds felt like they were countless slow-motion angles of the same shot converging towards one spot—that spot being Xiao Shenglin, who was lying in a pool of blood, and the car that was getting increasingly closer to him.

Bang—

Screech—

The sounds of an intense collision and tires streaking against the ground echoed through the air. Most people had closed their eyes, unwilling to witness the tragic scene.

This group didn’t include Song Xuanhe and Zhou Nan. They had both seen another car speed over from the side. It had crashed into the car that had been racing towards Xiao Shenglin and pushed it into the greenery beside the road, causing it to hit a tall tree. The driver of the car that had tried to kill Xiao Shenglin seemed to be heavily injured. He had fainted.

Everything was silent for two seconds. Song Xuanhe broke free of the people holding onto him and charged towards Xiao Shenglin. The ambulance also just arrived, and the nurses and doctor rushed out. They followed after Song Xuanhe with a stretcher.

Zhou Nan walked over to the car that had crashed into a tree and pulled the driver out. With bloodshot eyes, he rained down a flurry of fists onto the driver’s body.

Song Xuanhe heaved a sigh of relief when the doctor had told him that Xiao Shenglin was not in life-threatening danger. He then pursed his lips upon seeing Zhou Nan’s actions. He walked over and pulled on the other man.

“Let go of me. I’m going to f*cking beat this b*stard to death!”

“The ambulance is about to leave,” Song Xuanhe said in a quiet, heavy voice, “I promise I won’t let him get away. Leave with the ambulance. I’ll head over later.”
