Chapter 198: Chapter 198: He is Afraid

The black car appeared so suddenly that the people nearby couldn’t react in time.

Those along the road who couldn’t escape in time were hit by the black car, falling to the ground wailing, and hurriedly dragged away.

The candy-fried chestnut vendor was so terrified that he froze in place, forgetting to dodge.

Shen Yanhe had wanted to dodge.

After all, there was a distance between her and the black car, and with her skills, dodging would have been easy.

But upon seeing the vendor, paralyzed by fear, and the little girl crying in terror, she gritted her teeth, stepped forward quickly, and with all her strength, kicked the stall of candy-fried chestnuts toward the speeding black sedan.

With a loud crash,

the black sedan collided with the stall of candy-fried chestnuts, denting the front of the car and slowing it down.

Shen Yanhe yelled at the vendor, "What are you staring at? Run!"

The vendor snapped back to reality, scrambled up with the little girl, and dragged his wife away.

After hitting the stall of candy-fried chestnuts, the black car didn’t stop, quickly reversed, turned direction, and continued to drive toward Shen Yanhe.

Shen Yanhe’s gaze darkened.

This car was aiming for her!

It was after her life!

With everyone around her running away, Shen Yanhe had no chance to dodge!

Just as the black sedan was about to hit Shen Yanhe,

a sharp honk resounded as Wu Fang’s car charged in from the side of the street and fiercely struck the side of the black sedan.

The black sedan, already fast, rolled several times due to Wu Fang’s hit and finally stopped against the curb railing.

The car windows shattered, the headlights flickered, and thick smoke billowed out. Gradually, fresh red blood seeped from the driver’s seat.

Wu Fang’s sedan’s front end was crumpled badly, glass scattering everywhere, creating a chaotic scene.

Shen Yanhe’s complexion drastically changed, and she hurried to the car, violently pulling open the damaged door, "Wu Fang! Are you alright?"

Wu Fang’s face was covered with cuts from the shattered windshield, bleeding profusely, looking very frightening.

He clasped his dizzy head, shook it, and upon hearing her voice, quickly replied, "Madam, don’t worry, I’m fine."

Relieved by Wu Fang’s voice, Shen Yanhe swiftly pulled him out of the car and led him to safety.

The surrounding people affected by the black car were also moved aside, waiting for an ambulance, the scene in disarray.

Once in a safe place, Shen Yanhe checked Wu Fang over.

His body was robust, apart from the cuts on his face from the windshield, his limbs were intact, but it wasn’t certain whether Wu Fang had sustained any internal injuries.

Shen Yanhe had him sit and wait for the ambulance while she went to administer first aid to those recently hit by the black sedan.

Soon, the police and the ambulance arrived.

The seriously injured were loaded into the ambulance, a nurse also bandaging Wu Fang.

Just as the police were about to approach the black car, it emitted a muffled thud, and the body quickly caught fire.

The driver of the black car hadn’t come out yet.

Shen Yanhe, her hands covered in blood, watched the burning black car with a heavy gaze.

The driver was dead, the black car destroyed, leaving no evidence behind.

The mastermind behind this had a ruthless heart.

To ensure that Wu Fang hadn’t sustained any internal injuries from the recent impact, Shen Yanhe, after speaking with the police, had Wu Fang also loaded onto the ambulance to go to the hospital.

When the group arrived at the hospital, Fu Yanhe, who had received Wu Fang’s call, was already waiting at the hospital entrance.

Upon seeing Shen Yanhe, bloodied, step down from the car, his pupils constricted, a violent storm breaking in his expression as he stood up and strode toward her, urgency in his voice, and an unusual agitation on his usually calm face, "Yanyan!"

Shen Yanhe, seeing Fu Yanhe rise from his wheelchair and walk toward her, was somewhat slow to react.

It wasn’t until he stood in front of her that she came to her senses and quickly explained, "I’m fine, I’m not injured, this blood isn’t mine, it’s Wu Fang’s and others’."

Hearing this, Fu Yanhe’s stormy demeanor calmed slightly. He pursed his thin lips, glanced at Shen Yanhe, lifted her into his arms, and walked briskly into the hospital, "Go through a full examination, otherwise I won’t be at ease."

Shen Yanhe instinctively struggled a bit.

His hand lightly smacked her on the butt, and Fu Yanhe looked at her with lowered eyes, "Don’t move."

Shen Yanhe’s face quickly turned red, and her body stiffened.

She bit her lip, "You, put me down. I can walk by myself."

In such a public place, what did this look like?

Fu Yanhe didn’t speak but quickened his pace and walked forward.

Behind them, Wu Fang, who had just come down from the ambulance, was silent, "..."

Have you forgotten?

I’m the one who’s injured.

-

With Fu Yanhe there, Shen Yanhe’s thorough medical check-up got the green light.

While she went for the check-up, Fu Yanhe sent San Fang to deal with the police, to coordinate the payment of fines, and to investigate the illegal taxi driver, instructing the doctors to treat the innocent bystanders affected by the illegal taxi.

Investigations took time, and the results could not be available in just a few short hours.

Fu Yanhe wasn’t worried, his heart and mind were all focused on Shen Yanhe.

When the medical report came out at midnight,

Fu Yanhe finally heaved a huge sigh of relief after confirming that Shen Yanhe only had some minor cuts and bruises and had not sustained any impact injuries. His lifted heart finally settled heavily.

"I told you so." Shen Yanhe was helpless, "I’m not injured, but you wouldn’t believe me."

Fu Yanhe sighed softly, saying nothing, only opening his arms to tightly hold her body in his embrace.

Shen Yanhe struggled to breathe in his tight embrace, but when she felt Fu Yanhe’s rapid heartbeat, she did not push him away but opened her arms to hug him back.

"Really, you scared me," Fu Yanhe softly rubbed her ear, his voice very light.

"Touch wood, you can’t be scared." Shen Yanhe still had the mood to chuckle, her hand randomly stroking his spine, soothing him, "I’m fine, okay?"

Fu Yanhe closed his eyes, restrained himself from embracing her tightly, and placed his long hand on hers, interlocking their fingers, "Let’s go home. I’ve already arranged for someone to investigate that illegal taxi driver, and we should have results by tomorrow."

Shen Yanhe originally wanted to conduct her own investigation but nodded upon hearing his words, asking somewhat worriedly, "How is Wu Fang? Is he okay?"

"Don’t worry, he’s fine."

Fu Yanhe squeezed Shen Yanhe’s hand, "He did very well this time; I’ve already given him a bonus, so you don’t need to worry."

Shen Yanhe breathed a sigh of relief, "That’s good, let’s go back first."

"Yes."

After a whole day of turmoil, her vigor had nearly run out.

-

Back at the villa.

The meal that Fu Yanhe had asked to be prepared had already gone cold, but neither of them minded, and they reheated and ate their dinner.

Shen Yanhe was drained and intended to ask Fu Yanhe about his leg condition after washing up.

But she couldn’t keep awake and lay down on the bed and fell into a deep sleep.

In the middle of the night.

Shen Yanhe woke up thirsty.

Groggily, she climbed out of bed and rubbed her eyes as she headed to the living room to get some water.

Just after pouring the water and barely having a few sips, a series of urgent and somewhat panicked footsteps echoed from the stairs.

Shen Yanhe looked up, puzzled.

She saw Fu Yanhe, in his black silk robe, stride down from upstairs, his deep black pupils fixed intently on her, as he quickly approached and tightly embraced her.

His breathing was rapid, his heartbeat fast, seemingly... scared?

Shen Yanhe paused, her drowsiness dispelled, she opened her mouth, "Yanhe..."

The Fu Yanhe who was embracing her suddenly loosened his grip, his hands cupping her cheeks.

The next moment, a flurry of kisses descended upon her.
