Chapter 577: I’m Gonna Bring You Home (2/2)

My actions grew even more frenzied as I threw dirt out of the way frantically. I managed to clear a palm-sized space around the window but everything else was still covered in the dirt. My heart burned with anxiety as I desperately pushed the dirt aside and continued digging. Soon, half the window was exposed and as I brushed away the dirt that obscured the glass, I saw Murong Mingyue lying against the steering wheel. To my horror I saw a line of fresh blood trickle down her face and stick to her long hair.

”Sis…” I gasped. I felt as if a knife had been stabbed into my chest.

The car had been sealed up for too long so there might not be any oxygen left in the car. When I realized that, I immediately balled my hand into a fist before I suddenly sent it crashing into the side of the window without caring whether I got hurt. I heard a small ”bang” and saw that a shattered dent had been knocked into the glass. The enhancement my body had undergone because of the virus seemed to have some lasting consequences. At the very least, my bones still seemed strengthened, and my physical strength was nothing short of extraordinary.

I rained down a few more blows before I finally broke open a hole in a corner of the window. The icy rain started leaking into the car and quickly started to drip onto Murong Mingyue.

”Mingyue, hurry up and wake up! Hurry up and wake up, Murong Mingyue!!” I desperately yelled through the window, tears leaking from my eyes.

However, Murong Mingyue didn’t move a muscle. The rain was dripping down her long hair and had drenched her white blouse and her coffee-colored suit jacket.

The people who had been trying to dig the car free fell silent. It was as if everyone had realized what had happened. Murong Mingyue’s car had been right behind those dump trucks, so who knows what the massive impact from the collision might have done to her...

……

The Audi’s door was jammed but I still desperately pulled against it. I was using my legs to push the dirt away from the car door as I yelled in a hoarse voice, ”Murong Mingyue, can you hear me!? You’d better wake up right now! It’s no time to be sleeping! Did you forget your promise? You said you’d bring me home, right? Right now, everyone is at home waiting for you… You can’t just keep sleeping so irresponsibly, you dumbass!”

I fell to my knees in despair. The heavy drops of rain stuck against my face and they seemed to be draining all of the strength from my body. As I let my head hang in anguish, I clenched my teeth angrily. Tears of regret leaked from my face. If I had chosen to accompany Murong Mingyue to Hangzhou, maybe none of this would have happened.

Fresh blood flowed from between my fingers as I let out soft sobs. I slowly lifted an arm to claw away at the icy dirt blocking the door. No matter what, I had to open the door and bring her home...

My head jerked up as I suddenly realized something! Murong Mingyue had already taken off the safety belt! There were quite a few scrapes and bruises on her face and her blood had hardened against her skin, but her beautiful eyes were staring fixedly at me and tears had started to leak out of them. She seemed on the verge of total collapse as she sobbed in a soft voice, ”Lu Chen, you stinky brat…”

Joy surged through my heart as I stared at Murong Mingyue. ”You… You’re okay?”

Murong Mingyue’s tears poured down like the rainstorm around us as she sobbed, ”I’m fine, you’re crying…”

I quickly turned around and rubbed my eyes. Then, I managed to croak out in a quavery voice, ”I’m not crying, it’s only the rain… Why would I even cry in the first place? You’re seeing things…”

A shudder ran through Murong Mingyue’s shoulders as she continued crying. ”Yeah, no one is crying…”

……

Finally, we managed to open the car door and I carried Murong Mingyue from out of the car. Her blouse had been stained red by blood and I didn’t know just how bad her injuries were.

The group of people who had helped me broke out into heartfelt grins and someone even ran over to hold an umbrella over Murong Mingyue.

As I carried Murong Mingyue in my arms, I quickly scanned the area. The ambulance still hadn’t come and only the heavens knew when it would actually arrive.

I carefully placed Murong Mingyue against the side of the railing before I flipped over it and picked her up again from the other side. There weren’t too many cars heading toward me, so I quickly dashed to the X12 and gingerly placed Murong Mingyue inside the passenger seat.

”Wait a moment…”

Murong Mingyue weakly clutched at my arm before she pointed toward the buried A8. She said, ”Lu Chen, the preliminary agreement that I signed with Hangzhou’s Tenglong Company is inside my bag. We need to retrieve that bag at all costs. It’s more important than the car…”

”Okay!”

I could clearly see that the front of the A8 had been completely totalled. It would probably have to be scrapped. We wouldn’t be able to salvage it even if we wanted to. We would be better off buying a new one than trying to repair it.

I hurried back to the Audi and found Murong Mingyue’s bag. I also managed to retrieve her favorite Tang Yurou figurine from the car as well. Now, there was nothing left in the car that had anything to do with Murong Mingyue.

……

As I returned to the X12, I looked at Murong Mingyue and asked, ”Are you hurt anywhere? Tell me right now. Are you bleeding heavily from any wound? Do you think you fractured any of your bones?”

Murong Mingyue closed her eyes and shifted the car seat down as she reclined in it. She muttered, ”No, I only feel really tired. I just want to rest for a while.”

”I’ll bring you to the hospital!”

”Okay…”

I quickly turned the X12 around. I was unable to get onto the other side of the expressway so I had no choice but to break the rules and go against the flow of traffic. This was an extremely dangerous thing to do on the expressway so I opened my emergency warning lights and I kept flashing my headlights to warn oncoming vehicles. Was this reckless? Yes. Was this dangerous? Extremely. But I didn’t think I had any choice in the matter. Getting Murong Mingyue to the hospital as quickly as possible was the only thing on my mind right now!

……

Beep! Beep! BEEEEP!

Drivers blared their horns at me as I drove recklessly down the road like a lawless asshole. Countless drivers glared at me as they flipped me the bird, but I had no choice but to bow my head apologetically and drive on by. Murong Mingyue’s safety was worth it.

As I glanced at the peacefully sleeping Murong Mingyue, I chuckled softly and said, ”Sis, I’m gonna bring you home…”

Murong Mingyue didn’t say anything, but two silent tears coursed down her cheeks.
