It was chaotic. Car horns, screams, footsteps, and police sirens overlapped with one another.
She opened her eyes and realized that the glass before her had completely shattered, and there was a burning smell.
The right side of the car had crashed against the bridge, with the right door distorted beyond recognition.
Her arms had been cut by the glass shards, but the pain that reverberated through her body reminded her one thing: she was alive!
It seemed like every other thought ceased to exist.
Li Beinian looked on the left, her brain buzzing.
A military-green Hummer was smashed against the back of her car, and clouds of smoke were escaping from it too.
Immediately after that, a tall silhouette emerged from the Hummer.
Blood trickled down his cold, deep features.
He was looking straight at Li Beinian as he yelled, “Aren’t you getting out!”
It was an order.
It was a distinct voice—low, magnetic and fierce.
Those four words snapped Li Beinian to her senses.
The first thing she did was unbuckle her seatbelt.
But her hands were weak with fear and losing their function.
And before she’d even touched the door handle, her door was swung open.
Mu Xichen’s expression was dark. On his bloodied face was an indescribable expression.
He grabbed her hand tightly and hurriedly walked away from the car.
Li Beinian was getting giddy. The slender figure before her got blurrier and she yelled, “Mu Xichen…”
She’d only managed to utter his name before her legs went weak and she fell.
Mu Xichen’s reflexes were extremely fast. He caught her right as she was falling and held her tight.
Li Beinian leaned against him for support, her eyes shut tight.
Mu Xichen wrapped his arms around her to steady her.
A heartbeat was distinctively felt, but it calmed and slowed just as quickly as it tensed up.
His vision was getting blurry too. He blinked hard and caught a familiar figure in the distance. “Gu Mingye!”
“Yes!”
Without further instructions, Gu Mingye hurriedly opened the car door and helped both of them inside.
Not too long after they left, the wrecked car swayed a little.
Everyone screamed and turned to look in that direction.
The back half of the car was suspended in mid-air off the edge of the bridge.
It swayed for a little more before it started rolling backward.
Bang!
It was a resounding noise, and many drivers got off their cars to take a look.
The smoke got even thicker, and then sparks began flying. Before long, the whole car was on fire…
It was no longer the car they once knew.
A man in a hat, shades and a mask watched this scene unfold. He grinned.
All of a sudden, another “bang” was heard and the car exploded.

Fang Zhili watched the video on her cell phone. She couldn’t be any happier as she sipped her coffee.
Li Haoran walked in. “Zhili, look at this. I picked three different roles for Nian Nian, which do you think suits her best?”
