Chapter 596: 582, Brake Failure (2)_1 Chapter 596: 582, Brake Failure (2)_1 “If it takes their lives to save mine, I’d rather not live.” Shen Yan’s attitude started to harden.
He wasn’t able to prevent the tragedy years ago, but today he could not let that mistake happen again. It was what he owed her and what his brother owed her too.
For the child she left behind, he would protect them with his last breath.
“Shen Yan, stop being so stubborn. This is not the time for mercy. I promised you years ago and let them live this long. Since you just heard everything at the door, there’s no need for me to hide anything from you anymore.” Shen Hua’s voice turned icy cold.
“Yes, I’ve ordered an attack on Jian Qing. Letting them live this long was the greatest mercy to the siblings. No matter what, I can’t let them go this time.”
Especially Jian Qing.
Shen Yan rushed over, leaning over the desk towards him with both hands, “Then let me tell you, no matter what, I will protect her child.”
“So you mean you don’t care if you become my enemy?” Shen Hua narrowed his eyes dangerously, and said word by word.
Shen Yan hardened his heart, “Yes.”
He was driven to this point.
The atmosphere suddenly became tense, their eyes clashing, neither backing down.
After a moment of silence, Shen Hua asked coldly, “Shen Yan, do you really think I wouldn’t hurt you?”
“Brother, I don’t want to be your enemy. You’re forcing me to do this. I can’t trade her child for my life, and I don’t want to.” Shen Yan’s face was grave.
Shen Hua sneered, “It’s too late.”
On hearing this, Shen Yan’s pupils constricted, “What do you mean by that?”
What did he mean by “too late”? What had he done?
“Ayan, we’re real brothers. Only I truly have your best interests at heart. Why would you argue with me over those two bastards? It’s not good for our brotherhood.” He put a hand on his shoulder, and patted it.
There was a flash of gloom on Shen Yan’s face, he grabbed his collar, “What have you done?”
“Heh!”
Shen Hua looked down at the hand holding his collar, his gaze met the anger in Shen Yan’s eyes, and he gave a cruel smile.
“I’ve ordered an attack on Jian Qing. Are you satisfied with that answer?”
Faced with a face so similar to his own, Shen Yan was really angry. He clenched his fist and swung it hard.
“Shen Hua!”
Shen Hua didn’t dodge, he just stood there.
Just as his fist was a few centimeters away from his cheek, Shen Yan’s face suddenly turned pale, and his swinging fist fell weakly.
Covering his chest with one hand, his breathing became rapid.
Seeing this, a rare sign of urgency flashed on Shen Hua’s cold face.
“Ayan!”
He walked around the desk and quickly caught his falling body.
Shen Yan collapsed into his arms, his skeletal hand grabbed his sleeve, his voice weak, “Brother, please don’t hurt her, I beg you…”
Before he finished speaking, his misty eyes gradually closed, and he fell unconscious.
Shen Hua’s forehead vein popped, he cursed.
Supporting him, he turned his head and shouted at the door, “Ada, bring the doctor over.”
In a blink of an eye, a black figure appeared at the door.
He saw Shen Yan, who had passed out in Shen Hua’s arms, a touch of gravity appeared on his expressionless face.
Without any hesitation, he turned and left to find a doctor.
…
After buying New Year’s goods and leaving the address, Quan Yifei’s group headed back home.
“Little Qingqing, try this.”
At the entrance of the shopping center, Quan Yifei went to get the car from the garage, and Jian Qing and others were waiting at the entrance. Rhee was still holding two small snacks in his hand.
Rhee gave Jian Qing one of the snacks, which was a hot cake steaming slightly.
As soon as Jian Qing took a bite, Quan Yifei drove up.
“Second Aunt, get in.”
She rolled down her window and shouted at Rhee and the others.
“Little Qingqing, you look a bit ill, are you unwell?” Rhee fastened his seat belt and looked at Jian Qing, asking.
“Did eating ice cream upset your stomach?”
Jian Qing shook her head lightly, “I’m fine.”
“You must tell us if you’re not feeling well or else Jingwu might blame it on me for letting you eat ice cream. He would certainly get mad at me.” Thinking of her son’s face, darker than the bottom of a pot, Rhee shivered with fear.
“Little Qingqing, you must protect me.”
Jian Qing smiled faintly, nodding in agreement.
“We’ve prepared everything for the ancestor worship tomorrow. Feifei, you’d better get up early tomorrow and not oversleep. Otherwise, your ears won’t be spared.” In the front seat, Weng Ya used a joking tone as a reminder.
Quan Yifei chuckled, “I got it.”
She was not keen on experiencing the power of her mother’s “Nine Yin White Bone Claw”. She definitely did not want her ears pulled again.
There was snow piled up everywhere on the road, and Quan Yifei dared not drive fast. The slower speed than usual made Jian Qing a bit drowsy.
Curbside, Jian Qing’s half-closed eyes suddenly turned cold.
“Stop the car!”
The sudden words stunned everyone in the car.
Quan Yifei looked back through the rear-view mirror at Jian Qing, utterly confused.
“Third sister-in-law, what’s wrong?”
Jian Qing sat up straight, her usual indifference disappearing.
“The car has been tampered with.”
“What?” Rhee and Weng Ya exclaimed.
Quan Yifei was frozen, her hand gripping the steering wheel trembled slightly.
“Third sister-in-law, are you joking?”
Her joke was not amusing at all during such a festive season.
Jian Qing said seriously, “Try to stop the car.”
Quan Yifei immediately did as told, slamming on the brakes.
Next second, her face fell, and she could barely hold back the tears.
The brakes failed.
“Feifei, what happened?” Weng Ya asked anxiously, her eyes filled with worry.
Quan Yifei shook her head, “The brakes failed.”
How could this be? She always had her car maintained, and it had just been serviced a few days ago. How could the brakes fail?
“Third sister-in-law, what should we do now?” She clung to the steering wheel, instinctively looking at Jian Qing, asking.
Jian Qing unbuckled her seatbelt, leaning forward, “First, hold the wheel. I’ll switch with you, and I’ll drive.”
If it were only her in the car, she wouldn’t worry so much, but since there were others in the car, she had to minimize the danger.
Quan Yifei hesitated for a moment, “But it’s going to be very dangerous for you.”
If there was an accident, the driver was usually the most severely injured.
Jian Qing put her hand on her shoulder, her tone calming, “There’s no time now, trust me.”
Looking into her clear eyes, Quan Yifei’s panic was gradually soothed away.
She nodded firmly and unbuckled her seatbelt.
“Aunt Xiao, can you help Feifei hold the steering wheel?” Jian Qing instructed.
In a life-or-death situation, Weng Ya concentrated intensely on controlling the steering wheel. During this pause, Jian Qing swiftly switched places with Quan Yifei.
