Chapter 67 I Don't Believe She's Gone!
Mu Yinyin let out a cold laugh. “No need.”
“Yinyin…”
“I’m already divorced from Fu Siyen. Whoever he marries in the future, whoever he chooses to spend his life with, has nothing to do with me. If your daughter likes him, let her marry him. When the time comes, for old times’ sake, I’ll show up to support them.”
He Xia: “?”
Who needs her support? When the wedding comes, Mu Yinyin surely won’t be alive! Only by getting rid of her can the Mu family benefit. Otherwise, who knows what disasters this wretched woman might cause.
Taking a deep breath, He Xia forced a smile and spoke again, “Yinyin… Look at what you’re saying, how could that be possible, I…”
She had barely finished when suddenly, the sound of emergency brakes sliced through the air!
He Xia’s eyes lit up!
Had they reached the place?
She hurriedly spoke again, “Yinyin, what’s going on? I just heard an emergency brake—were you driving too fast and didn’t notice the traffic lights?”
Finally, finally, the moment had arrived!
He Xia had kept her on the phone solely to distract her! If Mu Yinyin’s attention wandered, it would be easier for a car to hit her!
But at this moment, Mu Yinyin had no intention of responding to He Xia. The large red truck ahead barreled straight toward her without hesitation. Frowning, she saw there were cars behind her; reversing was impossible. The only option left was to drive against the flow!
Because the red truck itself was driving in the wrong direction, heading straight for her!
And the driver seemed to be wildly turning the steering wheel, as if making mistakes—or perhaps something more sinister…
But Mu Yinyin had no time to ponder. She immediately spun the wheel and tried to turn around!
To the right, there was no road—only a deep pit.
This street was narrow; only one lane on each side.
Just as Mu Yinyin passed through, the truck driver suddenly corrected course, squeezing the gap even tighter!
As Mu Yinyin tried to turn back—
The car behind her suddenly accelerated!
“Yinyin? Yinyin? Why aren’t you answering?” He Xia’s anxious voice still sounded in her ear.
Mu Yinyin’s brows knitted. She made a snap decision and turned the wheel!
But—
Things happened so suddenly!
Two cars, front and back, obviously targeted her. No matter how skilled Mu Yinyin was, in this tight environment—
“Bang—!”
Suddenly, a crash rang out!
Mu Yinyin’s car was struck and plunged straight into the deep pit!
Bang—!
The car smashed to the ground!
“Yinyin! What happened! What’s going on! Say something!!”
There was no answer.
He Xia was beside herself with anxiety. “Shiqing, quick! Quick! Call the police, something’s happened to Yinyin!”
“Ah! What happened to my sister?”
“Don’t ask, just call the police!”
“Okay!”
“Yinyin, Yinyin, answer your aunt, what’s happened?” He Xia kept the call connected, her voice full of worry.
But it was only a show. The mother and daughter were both in the bedroom, grinning with satisfaction at their success.
“Beep beep beep…” He Xia glanced at her phone and gave a cold laugh. “Looks like the phone got smashed, the call’s been cut off.”
Nan Shiqing’s eyes sparkled. “Mu Yinyin surely can’t have survived! Falling from that height—she’d be lucky if her body’s still intact.”
“She definitely won’t make it. Even if she does, she’ll be a cripple. How could she possibly keep running Starshine?” He Xia’s eyes were full of disdain. “Alright, let’s call the police.”
After all, she was the last to speak with Mu Yinyin. She knew something had happened over there, so she had to call the police. Besides, it was already too late—the report was just for appearances.
“Let’s tidy up and get ready to go out.”
“Alright~”
Mother and daughter wore the smiles of those who had succeeded in their scheme, clearly in high spirits.
Meanwhile—
Fu Siyen was still in the office when he received a call from Mu Teng.
“What is it?”
“President Fu, Miss Mu’s had an accident!”
…
An hour later.
Fu Siyen arrived at the scene, just in time to hear Nan Shiqing’s wailing cries.
“Sister… Sister! Are you still there? Sister!… Please answer me, don’t scare me!”
She must have screamed herself hoarse; her voice was ragged.
Fu Siyen’s pupils contracted sharply. He strode over, his expression icy and severe.
“I’m going down! I have to go down right now!” Nan Shiqing said, attempting to climb into the pit.
But—
It was far too deep.
By rough estimate, at least several dozen meters. There was no way to get down directly.
And it was night; there were few streetlights, and they couldn’t see anything below.
“Shiqing, calm down!” He Xia grabbed her daughter’s arm, her face grim. “Rescue workers are already on their way. Don’t make things worse!”
“But… but Sister…” Nan Shiqing’s tears blurred her vision, her voice trembling.
Fu Siyen walked over and spoke in a low, commanding tone. “What happened, exactly?”
Nan Shiqing: “!”
Shock flashed in her eyes. Why was Fu Siyen here? How did he know about this? And even if he did, why would he come? Wasn’t he divorced from Mu Yinyin, no longer connected to her? Hadn’t he said before that her life or death meant nothing to him?
So why, the moment something happened to Mu Yinyin, did he rush over?
Nan Shiqing took a deep breath and composed herself, then clung to Fu Siyen’s arm, crying. “Sister… Sister had a sudden car accident. Siyen, what should we do? Will she be alright?!”
Everyone was peering into the pit; the road was already closed to traffic.
Before Fu Siyen could respond, Gu Xiaoqi’s agitated voice rang out from the other side.
“How long is this rescue going to take?! No, I’m going down now! I refuse to believe Yinyin’s luck has run out!”
Gu Xiaoqi hadn’t shed a single tear, her voice steady, but… everyone could see her anxiety and stubbornness.
She refused to believe Mu Yinyin could really be in danger.
“We’ll go down together,” Li Chuan said, taking Gu Xiaoqi’s hand and heading toward where the rescue workers had descended.
A ladder had been set up.
The group immediately moved that way.
The workers had tried to stop them, but whatever Li Chuan said persuaded them to let the group through.
Nan Shiqing, seeing this, immediately urged, “Let’s go down too!”
He Xia grabbed her. “You’ve only just been discharged from the hospital, your body can’t take it. Be good and stay up here. I’ll go down and check.”
