A convoy of vehicles had arrived, and this time, media from the province had all come. Originally, Yan Guozhen had wanted to take this opportunity to undermine Zhou Yuan’s prestige, but what he hadn’t expected was that Ji Yang would once again cause such a commotion.
Seeing the members of Ximu City’s leadership team lined up by the roadside, Yan Guozhen snorted and said to the driver, "Drive past, don’t stop."
Normally, everyone’s cars were supposed to stop, but seeing Yan Guozhen’s car driving away, they looked at each other and reluctantly got back into their vehicles, following the convoy forward.
What nobody expected was that Yan Guozhen’s car, for some unknown reason, had just driven a short distance when a loud bang was heard, and then, everyone saw Yan Guozhen’s car veer off towards the roadside.
"The tire burst!" someone exclaimed in shock.
Everyone was stunned. After all, that was the top official. If he got into an accident here, no one knew what the situation would be like.
After the tire burst, the car headed straight for a stone wall. If it hit, Yan Guozhen would undoubtedly be on a one-way street to death.
As everyone was still unsure of what to do, they saw a figure rush out, and then, they saw the figure reach the driver’s seat side in a flash. They didn’t know how he did it, but he smashed open the glass and grabbed the steering wheel, stabilizing the careening vehicle.
At this moment, Ji Yang’s voice rang out, snapping the panicked driver to attention, and he hurriedly hit the brake.
Logically, under a tire burst, one would not be able to brake , but under these circumstances, not braking would result in a direct collision, inevitably leading to a wrecked car and loss of life. Braking was, in fact, the correct decision.
However, after hitting the brakes, the car still ran into some trouble due to inertia and seemed like it might flip. Find the newest release on novelꞁire.net
Ji Yang didn’t have time to consider much and his hands swiftly turned the steering wheel.
Everyone saw the car, which looked like it was about to flip, adjust itself just in time as it shot out, and ultimately, it did not overturn.
Inside the car, besides the driver, there was also a secretary and Yan Guozhen, with all three of them pale as ghosts, thinking they were going to die.
Even as Ji Yang was adjusting the vehicle, they hadn’t come back to reality.
Ji Yang pulled up the emergency brake, and after the car had traveled a considerable distance out of control, it finally came to a stop.
The driver was shaking all over, the secretary’s head was bleeding from the impact, and Yan Guozhen didn’t fare much better; his head was also bleeding.
Thankfully, the car had stopped.
Ji Yang also let out a quiet sigh of relief.
He opened the car door and said to Yan Guozhen, "Secretary Yan, are you alright?"
Yan Guozhen stared blankly at Ji Yang, his eyes slightly glazed and unresponsive for the time being.
Ji Yang saw Yan Guozhen’s state and hurriedly helped him out of the car.
It was only then that Yan Guozhen’s legs gave way, and if not for Ji Yang’s support, he probably would have fallen to the ground.
It was at this point that the onlookers finally reacted and rushed over.
Zhou Yuan was also taken aback and hurried over, asking, "What happened?"
Ji Yang replied, "Secretary Yan is injured, we must get him to the hospital."
Suddenly, it was chaos.
Fortunately, Zhou Yuan was still calm and directed people to put Yan Guozhen and the other two into a car and rushed toward the hospital in the city.
Watching the car speed away, everyone was still stunned, particularly the members of Ximu’s leadership team; they had never expected such an incident to occur.
"Ji," Zhou Yuan asked in a low voice, "how is Secretary Yan?"
"It’s just a concussion, some bleeding, no serious harm."
"That’s a relief, a relief."
Although the two were at odds, Zhou Yuan didn’t want to see Yan Guozhen die in front of him. If Yan died, it wouldn’t be easy to explain the situation.
By now, everyone had also realized that if it hadn’t been for Ji Yang, disaster might have struck today. An accident involving the number one figure in the province while everyone was gathering to greet him would have brought about serious trouble if word got out.
Ji Yang glanced at the provincial leaders who were a bit dazed at the moment. Their reception had been too grand, and it wasn’t a good look to spread around.
"Governor Zhou, shall we head to our city first?" Ji Yang suggested.
Zhou Yuan nodded slightly and said, "After such an incident, let’s pause the events for now and wait until Secretary Yan has recovered."
Ji Yang nodded and replied, "Okay, I will notify everyone immediately."
Everyone had arrived in high spirits, but after the incident, they all returned in silence without saying much along the way.
Ji Yang had been standing in front of the car when he saw Yan Guozhen not stopping and even accelerating; realizing something was wrong, he didn’t hesitate and immediately dashed out. Now, looking back, Ji Yang was astonished at how fast he had been, it was a considerable distance, and he had reached the car in the blink of an eye.
It seemed his body had indeed undergone a significant change!
