Xia Pengpeng clutched her bleeding arm, swiftly climbed over the median barrier, and ran towards the other side of the road!
She stood by the roadside, waving at passing cars for help.
Just now in the car, her cellphone had been taken by Xia Wen's people, being unable to contact Uncle Han!
Now penniless and without a phone, she had no other option but to flag down passing vehicles to get away!
In the distance, cars kept coming, but as soon as they saw Xia Pengpeng's condition, they all avoided her.
"Damn it! Show some compassion, will you!" Xia Pengpeng stood at the roadside, her heart flaming with anxiety.
She was afraid Xia Wen would come back! Once taken to the Qin Family by Xia Wen, she didn't know what uncontrollable events might happen!
Up ahead, a car drove up slowly. In the dim nighttime light, the emblem wasn't clear, but from the looks of it with the naked eye, it must be a luxury car, an expensive one at that!
"BOSS!" Ah Chi called out.
Mu Xingye looked out the window and saw Xia Pengpeng crouching on the ground, her small figure curled up defenselessly.
Xia Pengpeng had given up, she didn't expect that she would be able to flag down this luxury car.
The blinding headlights drew up to her, then dimmed. A glimmer of hope sparked within her, and she slowly lifted her head.
Her face, smeared with blood and dirt, made her look like a grubby stray cat. The beautiful eyes, filled with physiological tears due to pain, shone brightly and glistened under the illumination of the light.
The car's speed kept decreasing, but Ah Chi didn't dare to stop.
Even though he knew the BOSS was here to find this young lady.
Through the expensive car window, Mu Xingye scrutinized her.
However, Xia Pengpeng couldn't see Mu Xingye inside the car.
Flag down the car! Flag it, miss! Ah Chi's heart was screaming!
Suddenly, Xia Pengpeng stood up and ran towards the front of the car, blocking its path!
Ah Chi immediately put on a very cooperative and professional performance of an emergency brake!
"Hello, I'm injured, can you take me to the hospital? It really hurts~~" Xia Pengpeng blinked her tear-filled star-like eyes and said to Ah Chi.
Ah Chi: Such a cute young lady, melting my heart.
"Sure, sure!" he replied.
Xia Pengpeng, hearing the response, climbed straight into the back seat.
She just wanted to throw herself into the spacious rear seat, but unexpectedly, she fell into someone's arms!
Her face was just against that person's...
She immediately sprung up, the abrupt movement pulling at her wound, causing her to hiss in pain!
Ah Chi was shocked: "BOSS!"
"Drive!" came the cold, commanding voice, filled with magnetic quality, brooking no argument.
The car automatically locked and started moving forward.
Ah Chi was nearly trembling with alarm!
He had intended to let the young lady sit in the front, how had she deviated from the norm and sat in the back instead?
Could the BOSS tolerate it?!
Having a stranger on board was risky enough!
What if something happened to the BOSS?
Even if he were to slice himself into sashimi as an apology, it probably wouldn't be enough!
Xia Pengpeng, realizing there was another person in the car, shrank into a corner.
The car's interior was not cramped, rather spacious in fact, but she still felt extremely oppressed. All the pressure came from the man beside her!
He exuded a cold and hard aura, clearly not someone easy to get along with.
But still, compared to those few cars that had swerved far away from her earlier, Xia Pengpeng, in her heart, gave him a good impression.
"Thank you."
"You're welcome," Mu Xingye replied, his tone indifferent and detached.
What a pleasant voice!
Xia Pengpeng had not heard him speak earlier, but now so close, his magnetic voice resonated around her ears, making her heart flutter. Instantly, her good impression of him climbed another notch.
His voice was pleasant to hear, yet it carried a unique coolness, indifferent and detached.
Xia Pengpeng sneakily lifted her head and took a quick glance at him, but in the dim light, she could only discern his silhouette.
