Huo XIwen was terrified. She hurriedly covered her mouth, afraid that her breathing would be heard by the other party.
At this moment, the air in the surroundings seemed to have become stagnant. On the road not far away, the sounds of car horns could be heard from time to time.
The buzzing sound of insects filled her ears, intertwining with her pounding heart. She felt like she had never been this scared before.
This was the first time she felt danger so close to her.
Although she was someone who had seen much of the world and had interacted with terrorists before, that time was for the sake of Fu Muyun. She didn"t know fear and only wanted to save him.
And now, the danger was right in front of her eyes. This was a real threat to her safety. On this seemingly peaceful night, no one could save her. She could only pray that the heavens would help her escape this calamity.
"So you were hiding here." Just as she was praying for the blessing of the heavens, a figure pounced on her from behind and pushed her to the ground.
Huo XIwen was instantly frightened out of her wits. She screamed, raised her foot and kicked forward with her eyes closed, and just happened to kick her opponent"s stomach.
The driver bent down in pain. Seeing that, Huo XIwen hurriedly took the opportunity to get up.
When the driver saw that she was about to run again, he stepped forward, raised his hand and slapped her in the face.
Huo XIwen was instantly dazzled by his slap. Before she could regain her senses, the man punched her shoulder again, causing her to stagger a few steps back in pain.
"Stupid woman, run! Keep running!" When the man saw that she was beaten up to the point where she couldn"t retaliate at all, his ferocious face looked extremely arrogant under the moonlight.
Of course, Huo XIwen had to run. She knew that if she did not run, what awaited her would definitely be a ravaging that was worse than death.
Turning around, she continued to run forward, but after running for less than five steps, her hair was grabbed by that man, causing her scalp to feel a burning pain.
In the next second, the man slapped her again. This time, the slap was even stronger than last time. She could clearly taste the blood at the corner of her mouth.
At this moment, Huo XIwen"s vision turned black, and her body was pushed down to the ground. She wanted to struggle, but she already lost the strength to do so.
"Rip …" As her skirt was torn apart, she felt a chill on her body.
The man lowered his head and was about to bite her lips, but at that moment, she suddenly felt a white light above her head.
The light was extremely dazzling, causing her to be unable to open her eyes.
The chauffeur also raised his head at this moment. His expression was one of utter panic, and he didn"t know how to react for a moment.
Had the heavens heard her prayers and sent someone to save her?
Huo XIwen thought to himself, full of hope for this light that seemed to come from the front.
After a few seconds, she heard steady footsteps approaching her, getting closer and closer. She only realized that she wasn"t dreaming when the wretched driver who was pressing down on her was suddenly picked up by someone. Someone was really here to save her.
"Who are you people? What are you guys doing? " The wretched driver was lifted up by someone as he yelled out uncontrollably.
"Charles, what should we do with this fellow?" a young voice asked.
"Do you need me to teach you?" Another low, magnetic voice answered.
Hearing this voice, Huo XIwen"s face was filled with disbelief. She sat up from the ground, and turned around to look at the source of the voice, only to see a straight and tall figure standing behind her.
The next moment, she had already bent down, taken off her suit jacket, and put it on her.
How could that be?
How could he be the one who saved her?
There was no time for her brain to react at all. Her entire body had already been lifted up by the other party. The clothes on her body carried his warmth, as well as the faint fragrance of mint.
"Why?" She opened her mouth and asked with a somewhat hoa.r.s.e voice.
"Alright, I"m fine now." He knew she was frightened, and his voice was very gentle.
At this time, Huo XIwen closed his eyes and began to wail.
Chen Yanzhuo didn"t say anything. He just carried her to the side of the road, and the white light was coming from his car.
He put her in the pa.s.senger seat of his car, fastened her seat belt, and closed the door.
At this moment, a few young men in plain clothes, who were holding onto the wretched driver, walked over. "Charles, is she alright?"
"A little skin injury, not a big problem. "However …" Chen Yanzhuo said. His pair of deep eyes became exceptionally cold, causing people"s hair to stand on end.
"Charles, we know what to do. Don"t worry, we won"t let him harm anyone else alive." At this time, the young men spoke up.
Chen gave the driver a cold glance. "There"s no need to die. Just don"t let him get out of the prison alive."
When the young man heard what Duan Ling Tian said, he glanced at each other and felt his body go cold.
Killing someone wouldn"t kill them. It seemed like their boss wanted to make them want to die.
"Clean up this matter, don"t let anyone know. I"ll be leaving first." "Go!" Chen Yanzhuo ordered. He turned around the front of the car and sat in the driver"s seat.
The car door slammed shut and the car started, speeding forward at an incredible speed.
She leaned her head against the back of the pa.s.senger seat and looked ahead with listless eyes. When she arrived at the Mu Family winery about ten minutes later, she suddenly looked at Chen Yanzhuo, who was standing beside her and asked, "What did you bring me here for?"
"Treat the wounds on your body first." "Or, if you want to go to the hospital, I"ll send you there. By the way, let your mother and brother know."
Upon hearing that he was going to inform his family, Huo Xi Wen immediately grew worried.
She knew that since her father"s death, the only thing her mother had been worried about was her, and all these years, she hadn"t really been able to make her worry too much.
Now that he had met with such an accident, if his mother found out about it, she would probably feel sorry for him. She couldn"t bear to let her mother worry about her, so she just hung her head down and didn"t say anything.
Her silence told him the answer. Chen Yanzhuo got out of the car, walked to the pa.s.senger side, and opened the door, intending to carry her out of the car.
Deep inside her heart, she was still somewhat resistant to him. After all, his current status wasn"t really that good. She opened her mouth and said, "I can leave by myself."
"Are you sure you can leave?" Chen Yanzhuo looked at her b.l.o.o.d.y feet. Her originally white and delicate feet had been cut by the gla.s.s shards, and the blood had flowed everywhere. Although the blood had dried up now, it still looked shocking.
