Chapter 196: You Must Not Die Even If I Do

Chapter 196: You Must Not Die Even If I Do

Huo Tingying's breath froze in an instant.

After a long moment, he spoke coldly into the phone, "Don't hang up. Wait for me!"

Then, he yanked Feng Shuo out of the driver's seat, threw him onto the roadside, and sped towards Yun Mu's direction with a heavy foot on the accelerator.

Behind Yun Mu, the truck seemed unwilling to give up. It suddenly accelerated, lunging forward and crashing into her car with great force.

Yun Mu's body lurched forward abruptly. The car, propelled by the intense impact, nearly collided with the highway guardrail. Yun Mu struggled to control the direction as the tires screeched against the ground!

Huo Tingying's heart tightened at the sound on the other end of the phone. "Yun Mu, speak."

Yun Mu strained to control the unresponsive steering wheel, accelerating continuously to avoid being rear-ended again.

"I'm fine."

Only then did Huo Tingying breathe a slight sigh of relief. He glanced at the navigation system and said, "I'm only a dozen kilometers away from you. Don't worry."

Upon hearing this, Yun Mu's heart grew colder.

The truck behind her continued to accelerate and close in. To avoid another collision, Yun Mu had no choice but to speed up as well.

Past the next exit was the seaside. Its goal was not to crush her but to force her into the sea.

Or rather, their aim was not just to kill her but also to prevent her from performing surgery on Grandpa Yun.

Yun Shuiyao!

Bang!

The truck crashed into her again, deforming the rear of her car. Blood trickled from Yun Mu's forehead.

Clang!

The truck suddenly surged ahead, forcing Yun Mu's car into the guardrail. The violent compression caused the car to deform horribly.

Time stretched in that instant.

Space became eerily quiet.

In a premonition, Yun Mu struggled to lift her head.

Ahead, a familiar black Phantom raced over like an arrow released from a bow, directly colliding with the truck.

The truck came to a stop under the impact.

But Yun Mu's car, now out of control, screamed towards the guardrail.

"Yun Mu!"

Huo Tingying's roar echoed through the spinning world, reaching Yun Mu's ears.

She looked up and saw his car charging towards her, trying to force her to a stop with its own body.

She frantically slammed on the brakes!

She must brake!

Otherwise, she would crash into him and send him into the sea—

"Huo Tingying, get out of the way!" She shouted with all her might.

Through the window, Huo Tingying's eyes were cold yet resolute, staring straight at her.

He charged forward without hesitation.

Yun Mu, even if I die, you cannot!

In the next second, Huo Tingying almost closed his eyes, flooring the accelerator!

Boom—

The black Phantom, like a raging beast, squeezed between the white sports car and the guardrail!

The violent collision caused the guardrail to snap instantly.

The black Phantom plunged off the cliff into the deep sea below.

The pursuing truck still didn't give up, preparing to ram into Yun Mu again.

But at that moment, Yun Mu suddenly pushed open her car door and hurled a dagger at the truck's tire. The truck lost control and crashed into the guardrail.

"Huo Tingying!"

The water quickly submerged the car roof, leaving only bubbling ripples.

Without hesitation, Yun Mu jumped into the water. The surroundings turned a murky green.

She rushed forward, smashing the car window and frantically searching for Huo Tingying's body.

Under the impact and the engulfing seawater, Huo Tingying had lost consciousness.

She forced her way into the car, desperately dragging Huo Tingying out and pulling him up to the surface, eventually dragging him onto the shallow shore.

She gently slapped his icy cheeks, "Huo Tingying... Huo Tingying, wake up!"

There was no response.

Huo Tingying's pale face began to turn blue, and his breathing grew weaker.

Yun Mu knelt beside him, feeling for his breath and checking his pulse. Instantly, she felt a chill run down her spine!

Huo Tingying's vital signs were extremely weak; he needed to be taken to the hospital immediately!

At that moment, a convoy arrived on shore.

Feng Shuo rushed over with his men.

"Young Master! Young Lady!"

Hospital, Emergency Room.

Yun Mu sat in the corridor on a chair, half-wet and pale-faced, while a young nurse tended to the wounds from glass shards embedded in her arm.

Inside, Si Nanjue and Lu Nansen were performing emergency treatment on Huo Tingying.

When they first arrived at the hospital, Yun Mu had rushed into the emergency room with the unconscious Huo Tingying, insisting on treating him herself.

In the end, it was Si Nanjue who forcibly pulled her out, pointing at her trembling, blood-soaked hands and questioning how she could perform surgery with them.

Seeing her bloodied hands, she finally relented.

An hour passed.

The emergency room door opened.

Yun Mu pushed away the nurse still bandaging her wound and rushed to Si Nanjue, "How is he?"

"Severe arrhythmia, low blood pressure—it seems he had undergone surgery recently. Fortunately, he was brought in time and is now out of immediate danger."

A hint of color returned to Yun Mu's pale face.

She closed her eyes and breathed a sigh of relief before asking, "When he fell into the sea, he must have suffered a severe blow to the head. Will it affect him?"

"There will likely be some impact, but the extent can only be determined after he wakes up and further tests are conducted." Si Nanjue glanced at her wet clothes and sighed, "Tend to your own injuries first. As for your grandfather's surgery, it can wait a couple of days."

Yun Mu nodded and quietly sat back down, signaling the nurse to continue.

Under the harsh hospital lights, Yun Mu's long eyelashes were closed, casting shadows on her pale face. Her lips were pale, making her look exhausted.

Her white shirt was torn in several places, and there were varying degrees of wounds on her forehead, neck, elbows, and fingertips.

The nurse carefully extracted the glass shards, feeling sympathy and asked, "Miss Yun, should I give you some anesthetic?"

"No need," Yun Mu replied faintly, "Just work quickly."

Si Nanjue paused, looking at her stoic face, suspecting that even if the nurse stitched her up right then, she wouldn't make a sound.

This scene stirred a sense of familiarity and pain within him, reminding him of a stubborn girl in his distant memories who never showed weakness.

He sighed inwardly, thinking he was overthinking it.

Then he waved at the nurse, "Let me do it. At this rate, we won't finish until nightfall."

The young nurse put down her tweezers and stepped aside to let Si Nanjue take over.

Yun Mu turned her head, watching as the familiar face before her patiently bandaged her wounds, and smiled bitterly.

If this person were Yunzhe, he would probably be giving her poison instead.

Si Nanjue looked up and instructed, "Keep these wounds dry for a few days and get some anti-inflammatory medication."
