Jiang Cheng also noticed something was wrong. There were no vehicles passing in front of him, and the road in the distance seemed to have collapsed with a big hole!
"Why is this happening? If there is no traffic ahead, shouldn't there be a warning sign?" Jiang Cheng stepped on the brakes, but heard a strange sound, and at the same time felt that there was no resistance when he stepped on it, as if the brakes were fake. The same. Jiang Cheng hurriedly looked at the road and found that the speed of the vehicle had not slowed down at all. Moreover, the slope here was relatively large, and the vehicle actually showed signs of accelerating.
Tong Xingtao realized the danger, came to his senses, pointed to the sign that fell on the ground in front of him and said, "The sign... actually fell."
"Hurry up and brake! There's a pothole ahead!" Chu Xueying said hurriedly.
"The brake... seems... broken!" When Jiang Cheng said this, his voice was trembling.
"What?" Tong Xingtao never imagined that such a coincidence would happen, so he forced a smile on his face and said, "Stop joking!"
"What I said is true!" Jiang Cheng almost cursed, slamming on the brakes several times. Tong Xingtao could see it clearly, and the smile on his face was stiff and strange.
The car was still driving forward, seeing the construction site getting closer and closer to them.
Chu Xueying also realized the danger at this time and said in a trembling voice: "What should we do? Could it be that we..."
"No! Nothing will happen to any of us today!" When Jiang Cheng heard Chu Xueying's voice, his panic calmed down and he said slowly: "Fasten your seat belts, maybe I can do something about it. We will be fine!"
There was no time to explain to Chu Xueying. Jiang Cheng took a deep breath and shifted the gear to first. The speed of the car slowed down slightly, but this slowdown did not help at all.
"Hurry up and pull the handbrake!" Tong Xingtao said nervously while still nearby.
Jiang Cheng had no time to pay attention to the other party. The speed of the car at this time was still not slow. Pulling the handbrake rashly would only cause the vehicle to roll over and bring danger ahead of time. Tong Xingtao looked ahead and suddenly noticed that Jiang Cheng was pushing the car to the side. This was a viaduct, which was more than ten meters high from the ground. If the person and the car fell down, he would probably die!
"What are you going to do!" Tong Xingtao shouted in horror, reaching out to grab the handbrake.
"Idiot! Stop moving!" Jiang Cheng cursed angrily and immediately slapped Tong Xingtao! It was this slap that made Tong Xingtao calm down a little, but his expression was still uneasy. Chu Xueying was extremely frightened, but she was afraid that her scream would distract her boyfriend, so she covered her mouth hard to prevent herself from screaming. Although she still didn't know what Jiang Cheng's purpose was, she still believed in her boyfriend and believed that he had a way to solve the current crisis.
Seeing that the car had reached the edge of the viaduct, Jiang Cheng gritted his teeth and said, "That's it!" He saw the steering wheel turning back and forth in his hand, but the car did not rush out of the viaduct, but drove forward along the elevated fence. Precisely because of this additional friction, the speed of the car finally dropped significantly.
The three of them did not feel relaxed at all, because there was no fence around the damaged road not far from the elevated highway! But now they are still about a hundred meters away from there, and this resistance is not enough to stop the car.
Tong Xingtao also realized that it was still not safe and asked Jiang Cheng nervously: "What should we do next?"
"Wait!" Jiang Cheng stared straight ahead, secretly calculating the speed and distance in his mind, and said without looking back.
"It'll be too late if you wait any longer!" Tong Xingtao almost lost control again. It's understandable that anyone becomes panicked in times of danger. However, some people are very mentally fragile and can affect others in times of crisis, even causing others to be unable to solve their difficulties. Tong Xingtao looks polite and decent, but he is exactly this kind of person.
Jiang Cheng was already under a lot of pressure, and with Tong Xingtao being unhelpful, he was in a terrible mood. If he hadn't been unable to get away, he would have almost beaten him right now.
"Shut up!" Chu Xueying suddenly shouted to stop Tong Xingtao, and said firmly: "I believe in Jiang Cheng, as long as he is here, we will be fine!"
Tong Xingtao was shocked by Chu Xueying and barely controlled himself. Jiang Cheng finally gained a precious moment of peace, and almost at the same time, he also realized that the time had come for his next move. Without any hesitation, Jiang Cheng suddenly pulled on the handbrake. A sharp and ear-piercing whistle sounded in their ears, and everyone was pushed forward by the inertia, faintly feeling that the car body had a tendency to roll over. Jiang Cheng turned the steering wheel back and forth again, trying to maintain the balance of the car. Finally, five meters before the pothole, the car swayed to a stop.
When the car came to a complete stop, the first reaction of the three people was to get out of the car seat immediately. The car doors opened almost at the same time, and they rushed out of the car. They breathed a long sigh of relief until they were completely away from the car and the pothole.
Chu Xueying and Tong Xingtao both realized that if Jiang Cheng hadn't reacted as quickly as possible, they might not have been frightened. After Tong Xingtao learned that he was out of danger, he finally returned to normal and hesitated to apologize to Jiang Cheng. When he walked up to Jiang Cheng, he found that he was still looking ahead in a daze.
"Could it be that... what Xu Dingjia said is true? Otherwise, how could such a coincidence happen..." Jiang Cheng murmured to himself, "But... how... is this possible? Being rejected by this city? And that weird experience?"
"What are you talking about?" Tong Xingtao asked in confusion.
Jiang Cheng glanced at Tong Xingtao and said, "Maybe it was a mistake to come here!"
This sentence was obviously not an answer to himself. Tong Xingtao frowned, assuming that the other party had not recovered from the shock.
"Jiang Cheng, what's wrong with you?" Chu Xueying looked at Jiang Cheng and asked with concern. She just couldn't understand how someone who could stay awake in a crisis could only be afraid now. In fact, Jiang Cheng was indeed frightened about another thing, but he was not prepared to tell Chu Xueying. As his girlfriend approached, Jiang Cheng gritted his teeth, his expression returned to its original state, and he said calmly: "It's nothing, I'm just a little scared..."
After making sure that Jiang Cheng was fine, Chu Xueying's brows relaxed and she smiled happily at the other party. Although the other person's face looked pale due to fright, he could not conceal his innate beauty and charm. Jiang Cheng looked at it and felt that his heart seemed to beat a few more beats. Almost immediately, he felt confused.
Next, the three of them arduously walked down the viaduct, took a taxi, and returned home exhausted both physically and mentally.
Along the way, Jiang Cheng thought a lot. He recalled how he tried so hard to get acquainted with Chu Xueying in the first place, while at the same time carefully concealing his ulterior secrets. After the accident, Chu Xueying lost her memory. Jiang Cheng thought his chance had come, so he resolutely quit his job and returned to Yilin City with Chu Xueying. As if to punish his despicable heart, Jiang Cheng's journey was not smooth. To make matters worse, he finally discovered that he actually had feelings for Chu Xueying.
