Chapter 264 - The Accident

"Zi Er, please don't say this. There's still some distance before you get to the end of the toad, so this means there is still hope," Shiyi said. As he spoke, warm tears trickled down his eyes.

"Shiyi, don't cry, Ok? You know it always breaks my heart to see you cry," Yang Zi said when she noticed that Shiyi's voice sounded like he was in tears.

"I promise, I will not resign to fate. Just like I fought to stay alive for 8 years to avenge my sister's death, I will wrestle with fate today until the end. Instead of crying, just await my triumphant's return," Yang Zi said confidently. Knowing too well that Shiyi will not disconnect the call until the end, she disconnected the call.

"Starting from this moment, my life is in my hands and I, Yang Zi, will never resign to fate. I will rewrite my fate tonight," Yang Zi said sternly. As the car continued to move at top speed, she glanced around for something she could collide with to stop the car.

"Boss, there is a cliff at the end. Young Miss is in grave danger," Yifeng's driver informed.

"What!" Yifeng exclaimed in shock as he turned and stared at Su Jin.

"Feng, Zi Er's car is just in front of ours, I am sure she is going to be alright," Su Jin assured, as he tapped him on his shoulders encouragingly.

"Jin, you know how much I love Zi Er. I won't survive if something bad happens to her," Yifeng said, as he quickly hid his trembling hands. What Yifeng did not know was that Su Jin sitting beside him was in as much pain as he was in. He was even more scared than he was.

"Feng, nothing bad will happen to Zi Er. Let's just have faith, Ok?" Su Jin encouraged.

"Goddamn it! I wouldn't have had to rely on my men, who are far behind if my gun was with me. I would have long blown off the heads of those fools on the motorcycles if my gun was with me," Yifeng said helplessly.

"I would have saved my Zi Er from all these if I had my gun with me. What I regret most at the moment is not bringing my gun with me," Yifeng said, as he stared at the car in front of them. They were so close, and yet he was still helpless.

"Feng, there is no need for regret...,"

"Run over the motorcycle with the car," Yifeng ordered his driver.

"What?" The driver remarked in shock. He thought he heard him wrong.

"I said, run over the goddamn motorcycle," Yifeng repeated fiercely.

"Ok, boss," The driver said, as he quickly got to work.

Seeing that the car behind them was aiming at them, the driver of the motorcycle tried his best not to get knocked down.

"God, please let this work," Yang Zi mumbled a sincere prayer when she saw the pieces of equipment used in blocking the lonely road.

She ran through the pieces of equipment without hesitation. She lost control of the car the moment she did this.

The car now driving on its own, hitting against the bumps on the sides of the road.

"It has to stop moving, please," Yang Zi muttered when she saw the cliff was just some distance away.

Before Yang Zi could fathom what was going on, the car fell on its side because of the impact of the collision. Even upon all this, the car still refused to stop.

The motorcycle guys got distracted by what happened, and Yifeng's driver used their moment of distraction to run over them.

"Oh, No...," Yifeng screamed when Yang Zi's car was just five steps away from the mouth of the cliff.

The three of them in the car subconsciously closed their eyes, not wanting to stare at such a heart-wrenching sight.

"It stopped," Yifeng screamed in delight as he opened the door and hurried outside. Su Jin and the driver also came down from the car.

From where they stood, they could see sparks coming from the car. Yifeng who was been so eager to save Yang Zi froze when he saw this.

He bent down and held his head with his hands like he was in pain. Su Jin rushed to his side when he saw this. Yifeng continuously groaned in pain as he held his head staring at the car, from which sparks were still coming out.

The scene of a 15-year-old boy being dragged out of a blazing car quickly popped into his head. His heart tightened when he recalled that tragic night. The night he lost not only his father and mother but also another important man in his life.

"Feng, what is wrong?" Su Jin said, catching Yifeng before he could fall on the ground.

"Say, something Feng," Su Jin urged, as he embraced him tightly.

"Mum, dad, uncle...," Yifeng said, tears streaming down his face. It was when he mentioned these three people's names that Jin realised what was wrong with him.

Oh, goddamn it! How could I forget so soon that Feng has a very severe trauma about fire and car accidents? How could I forget so soon that uncle, aunt and butler Jin died in a ghastly motor accident?

Su Jin reprimanded himself as he hugged Feng tighter.

"Jin, I can't lose her, in the same way, I lost them. You must save her for me," Yifeng pleaded with great difficulty. From the way he gripped his chest, Jin could tell that he was having trouble breathing.

"But you are not Ok too, so how can you expect me to leave you alone?" Jin said, refusing to obey his order.

"Forget about me and just save her. Her life is more important than mine," Yifeng said, his eyes focused on the car which had caught fire.

"Feng, you...,"

"Leave me alone and do as I say. I will never forgive myself if something terrible happens to her so, just help me please...," Yifeng said, using his right hand which was previously on his head to violently push stubborn Jin away.

"Hey, stay and take care of him," Su Jin ordered the driver before he took a glance at his friend who was in excruciating pain.

"Just go," Yifeng said, waving his hand for him to abandon him and save Yang Zi instead.

Zi Er, you must be safe, Ok? I can't bear to lose you in the same manner, I lost them. I won't be able to handle the pain if you leave me this way.

Yifeng thought as he fell on the floor holding his head and chest.

"Boss, what is wrong? Wake up," the driver said, as he tapped his face repeatedly to keep him conscious.

The moment Yifeng saw Jin carry Yang Zi out of the blazing car in his embrace, he smiled as tears trickled down his face.

"She is fine now," Yifeng mumbled, as his vision slowly went dim. The ambulance whom Shiyi had called to report the car accident arrived just in time to rush the couple to the hospital.

Su Jin and Yifeng's men, who arrived at the scene of the accident a few minutes, made sure that reporters published nothing about the accident that occurred. All Yang Zi and Yifeng's loved ones rushed to the hospital after they were informed about the accident. The person who was unaware of this incident was the Chairman. Nobody mentioned it to him for fear that he might collapse from shock.

Yang Zi, who was sleeping for hours on the hospital bed, slowly open her eyes. The first person her gaze met after waking up was Yifeng's worried expression.

"Feng...," Yang Zi called weakly, raising her hand to touch his face.

"Wow! You are awake. Wait here let me call the doctor," Yifeng said, attempting to stand up and head outside, but Yang Zi's sudden grip around his left wrist prevented him from leaving.

"Stay here with me," Yang Zi said, slowly sitting up. Yifeng kept a pillow behind her back for her to rest on.

"How are you feeling? Do you feel uncomfortable in any part of your body? Tell me and I will get the doctor to examine you right away," Yifeng said, trying to stand up from the bed.

"Feng, what is wrong? Why are you acting so weird after I woke up? Did I perhaps do something wrong that made you upset?" Yang Zi asked, her grip still around Yifeng's wrist.

"Acting weird? What are you talking about?" Yifeng said as he avoided staring at her face.

"If nothing is wrong, then look at me in the face and talk to me. Stop avoiding to stare at me or I will forever regret waking up after listening to your heart-wrenching words," Yang Zi ordered sternly.

"You heard all I said earlier?" Yifeng asked. He was dying to stare at her and touch her, but he lacked the courage to do so after what happened last night.

"Yeah, I did. I heard almost every word everyone said. The only problem is I couldn't open my eyes and talk to you guys," Yang Zi said, staring at Yifeng who was still avoiding her gaze. She stared at him in silence for two minutes without uttering a word.

"Let's break up," Yang Zi said sternly, to the awe of Yifeng, who instantly stared directly into her eyes.
