Chapter 1439: I Only Want You (137)
Mrs. Mu said, “Just ignore her. She can only blame it on herself for ruining her own relationship. Your grandfather is extremely disappointed in her too. He thought that she could marry into the Lu family but that didn’t turn out well.”
Mu Wansheng remained silent. Like what Mrs. Mu had said, Wu Pingyang was the one who singlehandedly landed herself in such a sorry plight. There was no one to blame but herself.
The sky began to pour when Mu Wansheng was heading to the cemetery with Mrs. Mu.
It would rain almost every other day. Fortunately, they had prepared some umbrellas, which were placed inside the car.
The pair of mother and daughter headed home after paying respects to Mrs. Mu’s parents.
The chauffeur was waiting for them inside the car. They sat on the backseat together, with Mrs. Mu on the left and Mu Wansheng on the right.
Due to the fact that she barely got to rest last night, Mrs. Mu began to get a dizzy spell. Feeling under the weather, she urged the chauffeur, “Step on it. I’m getting a headache.”
“Yes, Madam.”
The chauffeur drove along the expressway at a much faster speed than usual.
Usually, traffic would not be heavy on the expressways unless it was a festive season.
Yet, a traffic accident happened on the expressway that they were taking, causing there to be a major jam and a traffic holdup.
The cars formed a snakelike queue, and the chauffeur began to slow down and gradually formed up in his lane while keeping a safe distance behind the car in front of theirs.
It was an accident-prone area, and 70% of the total annual number of traffic accidents on all expressways would occur on that particular expressway.
The chauffeur was well aware of it since he frequently drove on expressways.
This expressway was situated on top of a deep river that had a massive depth of dozens of meters.
Noticing that the chauffeur had slowed down, Mu Wansheng looked up to see that there was a traffic jam. She then whipped out her mobile phone and sent Fan Shixin a text to inform him that she was on her way back to the city. She had also arranged to meet with him in the afternoon.
As soon as she placed her mobile phone inside her bag, they felt a sudden impact coming from behind the car, causing their car to move forward involuntarily.
Tailgating was the worst thing that could happen when driving.
It was exceptionally dangerous when traffic is heavy.
The next thing Mu Wansheng and Mrs. Mu knew, the entire car had flipped and was flung outwards. It only came to a stop when it hit the railing.
The chauffeur passed out immediately while Mu Wansheng and Mrs. Mu both started to bleed.
Mu Wansheng had sustained much more severe injuries compared to Mrs. Mu because she was completely caught off guard. Most of her injuries were inflicted on her upper body because she had huddled up during the accident. Hence, her legs were not stuck beneath anything.
Although Mrs. Mu sustained less severe injuries, her legs were crushed beneath the debris of the car and she could not move an inch at all. She was bleeding from the head and wincing in immense pain while crying for help.
It would be tough for them to get out of the car at this juncture, especially since the car had been flipped over. The car that rammed them from behind was pressed closely against the door on Mu Wansheng’s side, thus hindering them from exiting. Besides, all the locks on the car were automatic and there was no way they could open the car doors even without any obstruction. The chauffeur and Mrs. Mu were facing the river.
Shortly after the first accident occurred, a major chain collision occurred.
The police officers who were initially handling the first accident frantically rushed toward the cars involved in the collision in a bid to begin rescuing them.
“Mother, how are you now?”
“I’m dying of pain. Oh god, why would this happen to us? Which idiot was driving!?! If you can’t drive, don’t!” She then collapsed onto the ground and began shrieking incessantly, “Help! Is there anyone out there? Help!”
Mu Wansheng rummaged through her bag and grabbed her mobile phone in her trembling hands. She hurriedly called Fan Shixin.
The call went through quickly. “You’re home so soon?” Fan Shixin asked merrily, still in the dark about the collision that had happened.
Choking with sobs, Mu Wansheng said feebly, “Shixin... we’re involved in an accident. I’m trapped inside the car and I can’t get out.”
Pangs of panic engulfed Fan Shixin. “Where are you now, exactly?”
“I’m on the expressway above the river. The one that’s very prone to accidents. The car behind us tailgated and crashed into us. There was a chain collision...” Mu Wansheng answered, gripping her mobile phone tightly.
Fan Shixin began running out of the house. “Don’t hang up, please don’t hang up. I’ll be there right away. Wait for me, ten minutes tops! Wait for me!”
“I’m scared...” muttered Mu Wansheng, who was not afraid to show her vulnerability to her man at all. She was overwhelmed with fear, terror, and pain. She felt as if she was in a torture chamber and could not stop tearing up.
Upon hearing her words, Mrs. Mu snapped, “How are you still in the mood to talk on the phone at such a critical juncture? Hurry and call for help! What are you waiting for!?! We’ll all be dead by the time Chief Fan arrives!”
Just as Mu Wansheng was about to speak, she heard a voice shouting, “Is this black car going to explode? There are thick fumes coming from it!”
Black car...
The car that they were in was the only black car at the scene. The cars around them were all white in color.
The two of them turned as pale as ghosts, feeling absolutely petrified. They called for help incessantly and yelled at the top of their lungs. Fan Shixin could not help but feel agony upon hearing her melancholic, shrilling voice.
The culprit’s car did not flip, although the front bonnet was destroyed beyond ruin. It was not known whether the culprit was dead or alive either. Noticing the thick fumes spreading from the car, the police officers hurriedly proceeded to rescue the people inside the black car first. They did not have the time to worry about the white car for there would be a greater number of casualties and more damage done if the black car were to explode.
However, when the police officers tried to clear the cars around and move them out of the way, the fumes began to grow thicker.
The police deserved credit for being able to stay calm during an emergency situation that was terrifyingly critical. So did the other drivers who rendered help to move the car out of the way.
However, when the cars were moved away, the other drivers dared not step forward anymore because the black car had already gone up in flames. Hence, they decided to leave it to the police.
After the car was flipped over, Mu Wansheng was facing the river while Mrs. Mu and the chauffeur were facing the roads. Hence, it would be much easier to rescue them.
“Police officer, please save me first, save me first!” Mrs. Mu hollered at the top of her lungs.
Mu Wansheng could not be bothered anymore. Despite the immense pain, she struggled to help herself up and pressed herself tightly against her mother. “Officer, please help me!” she cried.
