Chapter 59 - Baojia is in Danger (1/2)
Lin Luoran almost rushes out of Aunty Li’s house like smoke. She jumps on her car but fails to turn on the ignition because her hands are trembling.
Her whole body is also shaking. Lin Luoran now forgets that she is a cultivator. Her natural sense of helplessness entangles her like seaweed in the deep sea. The more she struggles, the tighter it becomes. She can barely breathe now.
Lin Luoran was having lunch in Aunty Li’s house just now. Aunty Li’s son who studied in junior high school was also home. The four of them were talking and laughing in a harmonious atmosphere, and Lin Luoran was thinking that she may have time to go to the cliff after lunch and get the quartzite accompanying the black epiphyllum. Who could know that she received a call from Baojia half way through lunch.
Baojia sounded extremely tired. Lin Luoran became suspicious and she was going to inquire what Baojia had been doing these days. Then she heard a large noise of fraction caused by emergency braking!
“Bang!” The car seemed to hit something and Baojia’s cellphone was thrown out. The busy tone came, and Baojia’s voice was gone—Baojia must have an accident. It must be… Lin Luoran knew from her instinct. What’s more, before the car was. .h.i.t, she heard Baojia saying “help me” in a low voice.
Whiling driving, Lin Luoran can feel herself shaking. As an arrogant girl, Baojia has called for Lin Luoran’s help over the phone—It must be more than a car accident. Something more serious which Lin Luoran is not aware of must have happened, and Baojia’s life may be in danger!
Lin Luoran can barely control the steering wheel. Her cellphone rings when she just arrives at the county town. It is Liu Zheng—Lin Luoran’s heart almost skips a beat, and she gets through the phone after pus.h.i.+ng the answer key several times.
“Luoran, Baojia has a car accident…”
Car accident. Baojia is in danger. There is haze in Lin Luoran’s eyes. She tries her best to hold the sadness and says in a grave voice—
“Liu Zheng, arrange for me the fastest flight to the capital… I will be grateful to you forever.”
After a few seconds of silence, Liu Zheng finally says yes.
Lin Luoran hangs up. She sniffs to keep back the tears in her eyes. She must stay calm now. Baojia is waiting for her!
Five minutes later, Liu Zheng calls Lin Luoran back.
“Head to the airport. The flight is ready.”
“Thank you.” Lin Luoran steps on the gas. Her BMW weaves through the traffic. Speeding, red light running, she violates every traffic regulations she can. However, Lin Luoran can’t care less about those right now. All she wants is to get to Baojia as soon as she can.
If the relation between her and w.a.n.g Miao’e is friends.h.i.+p with mutual help, Lin Luoran and Baojia are like real sisters!
Baojia, you have to wait for me…
******
Lin Luoran arrives at the airport within an hour.
Liu Zheng himself is waiting for Lin Luoran at the airport.
He is Baojia’s fiancé. If he doesn’t go to the capital now, Lin Luoran even wants to slap him. Thus she is not surprised to see him here.
The two of them don’t have the mood to catch up. They walk directly to the plane Liu Zheng prepares—It is a helicopter.
Before getting on the plane, Lin Luoran calls home. She doesn’t want her parents to worry, so she hides the truth and only tells them that Baojia has an emergency so she has to go to the capital immediately.
After hanging up the phone, Lin Luoran remembers that she still has a “big enemy” called Elly in R City. She is not at home and she can’t predict what she will be facing in the capital. Lin Luoran is afraid that Elly may make trouble, so she says to Liu Zheng with hesitation,
“If something happens to me, can you please look after my parents?”
