As they passed over the bridge that served as a lifeline between the two sides of town, a chilling sequence of events unfolded.
Chen Dong abruptly brought the car to a halt, his senses prickling with alarm.
The desperate screams for help pierced the night, growing fainter, and slowly disappearing, making the situation appear even more urgent!
"Did you hear that? It's below us!"His voice was a mix of shock and disbelief. The open windows had allowed the distressing sounds to filter through clearly.
Chen Yulan's expression mirrored his concern, her brows knitting together in a frown.
As Chen Dong made to exit the car, driven by a sudden impulse to help, she reached out, her voice laced with caution. "Don't go alone. Let's call the police first."
Chen Dong hesitated, torn between duty and prudence. "It might be too late by then," he argued, the urgency of the moment gnawing at him.
