791 A Million Times for You 153 (1/2)

As soon as An Xiaoning finished speaking, No. 5 and No. 8 leaped up at the sight of a loud explosion erupting nearby, accompanied with flares that shot up to the sky, instantly lighting up the surrounding area.

Shrieks of terror could be heard coming from the affected area.

”What… is going on?” No. 5 cocked his head toward the side and asked, ”Sis, is someone killing himself on purpose? If that's the case, he may jolly well die alone. Why does he have to get others involved!?!”

An Xiaoning, too, found it to be extremely sudden, to the extent that it was rather intimidating and terrifying. One would be bound to feel somber when a disaster happens.

She stared at the steering wheel and continued in her path while driving past slowly.

Due to the fact that there was a long stretch of cars behind them, it was rather difficult to find a spot to pull over along the road. Hence, An Xiaoning decided to park her car in a car park and alighted soon after.

Her bodyguards followed suit.

The three of them began walking toward the scene of the explosion, only to discover that there were strong burning smells in the air, which intensified the nearer they got to the fire.

The firefighting team and the police had made their way to the scene in no time. After all, the accident happened in the city center and it would definitely make it onto the news. The civil servants would be reprimanded if there were any delay.

Hence, they managed to put out the fire in the shortest possible time.

This time, four cars were involved in the accident, for the impact of the first car had affected the three other ones in front of it.

By the time the fire had been extinguished, all that was left of the cars were metal scraps.

Thick fumes were spreading into the air, and the scene could not be seen clearly in the pitch darkness.

There was a massive crowd of onlookers, none of whom dared to take a step closer.

An Xiaoning was standing closer to the front. Once the thick fumes began to dissipate, she squinted and caught sight of a woman who was dressed in green.

She walked out of the debris of the black car.

Soon, the woman vanished without a trace.

Despite having only caught a glimpse of the woman, An Xiaoning had managed to see her features clearly.

Her face was as pale as flour, and her features were delicate. She was truly expressionless.

An Xiaoning could not tell if she was wearing an ancient costume or if she was really from ancient times.

It was not as simple as a mere traffic accident.

An Xiaoning turned around and said to her bodyguards, ”Let's go.”

Once they got inside the car, No. 5 asked, ”Why did the owner of the black car do that? If he or she really wanted to die, he could have just committed suicide in a quiet place. Why did he have to harm others too?”

”Exactly. It's just like those people who attempt to jump to their death and end up killing the person they land on. One should just kill themselves at home with poison if they're looking to die, instead of implicating the innocent,” No. 8 chimed in.

”The driver of that car was innocent,” An Xiaoning said while revving the engine and driving slowly.

Her words had shocked them greatly.

”What? Sis, why would you say that?”

”When the crowd was looking on earlier, I saw a woman drifting out of the black car.”

The two of them looked at each other in shock and dismay. ”Could it be the owner of the car?”

”No.”

They arrived at the Gu family mansion after a smooth ride. Upon the sight of An Xiaoning, who alighted from the car, Gu Beicheng heaved a sigh of relief and said, ”I saw the news report about a major traffic accident near the junction earlier, which involved four cars colliding into each other. I wanted to give you a call because I was afraid that you have been affected.”

”There was indeed a major car accident. The car in front of me lost control and beat the headlights, resulting in an accident. Actually, the accident wouldn't have happened in the first place. The driver was being manipulated,” An Xiaoning said in a tone of seriousness.

”What do you mean?” Gu Beicheng asked in puzzlement.

”The driver was possessed by a spirit. It's getting late, let's go now.”
