Chapter 31: The Car Accident 1
The highly anticipated competition progressed remarkably smoothly, with an electrifying atmosphere filling the venue as waves of cheers rose and fell among the spectators. Shen Mengxia’s team advanced steadily, demonstrating outstanding performance at every stage.
In the decisive moments of the final, Shen Mengxia and her teammates showcased impeccable form and masterful tactical skills, securing a crushing victory over their opponents and proudly claiming the championship title!
As soon as the results were announced, Shen Mengxia eagerly called Fu Yancheng to share the good news. When the call connected, she exclaimed with excitement, “Big brother, we won! We’re the champions!” On the other end, Fu Yancheng forced a smile despite his discomfort and replied, “I always knew my Xiaxia would take the championship.”
Sensing something was wrong, Shen Mengxia grew anxious and asked, “Big brother, what’s wrong? Are you feeling unwell?”
“After we’ve got the marriage certificate, you still call me ‘big brother’? If I felt well, that’d be strange,” Fu Yancheng teased, trying to mask his condition.
“Okay, okay, then… can I just call you Yancheng?”
“Sure, my Xiaxia can call me whatever she likes.”
“Promise me you’ll see a doctor if you’re not feeling well, alright? I’m going to buy a plane ticket and come back immediately,” Shen Mengxia urged, deeply worried about Fu Yancheng’s condition.
After hanging up, Shen Mengxia’s heart pounded with anxiety. Without hesitation, she hurried to find the team leader, explained the situation earnestly, and requested to return to the country ahead of schedule.
Fortunately, the team leader understood and approved her request. Overjoyed, Shen Mengxia wasted no time and quickly grabbed Jiang Zeyu’s hand, rushing straight to the airport.
Once in the taxi, Jiang Zeyu glanced at Shen Mengxia’s anxious face and couldn’t resist teasing her, “Hey, I was actually hoping to hang out in Country T for a few days after your competition. I didn’t expect you to be in such a rush to go back. What’s the matter that’s making you so desperate?”
Before he could finish, the taxi was violently struck. Her body jolted forward, her head crashing hard against the front seat. Darkness clouded her vision, and a ringing filled her ears, drowning out all sound.
After a moment, she regained some awareness, realizing she was trapped in the seat, unable to move.
She tried to lift her head to see what had happened, but a sharp pain stabbed through her neck and back, paralyzing her.
Straining her eyes, she saw the taxi’s windshield shattered, the outside world blurred and indistinct.
Around her, chaotic noises swirled—people shouting, crying, phones ringing as someone called for help.
She wanted to scream, but only a faint whisper escaped her throat. A wave of despair washed over her as she wondered if she would survive.
Suddenly, she remembered Jiang Zeyu was still in the car and instinctively tried to find him, but her body wouldn’t respond.
Exhausted and weakened, her vision blurred further. The figure of a nearby policeman warped and wavered until it vanished into darkness.
Then dizziness overwhelmed her, and her strength completely gave out. She slumped helplessly in her seat and slipped into unconsciousness.
“Xiaxia, wake up!”
“Wake up! If you don’t, they’ll kill you!”
“Where’s Jiang Zeyu?”
“Jiang Zeyu’s useless! Hurry and save our heroine!”
“This was a deliberate accident.”
“No matter how strong the heroine is, she never expected to be targeted abroad.”
“Don’t bully my Xiaxia!”
“I’ve got your back, Zhan Ge.”
…Clearly, the live comments were frantic with worry and desperation.
