Contract Marriage: Billionaire and His Deaf Wife-Chapter 466 Mother and Child (7)

After waiting about half an hour, the taxi they arranged by phone finally appeared at the corner and drove toward them.

Xiao Yebai helped Grandma Zhou place her suitcase in the rear seat of the car. Grandma Zhou got in, joining the suitcase. Gu Nuan waved to the elderly woman through the window.

Grandma Zhou gave them both a gentle smile. Then, the taxi drove away.

Xiao Yebai stood in the middle of the road, waiting for the car to drive off after helping grandma with her suitcase.

In such a short span of time, nobody expected something to happen.

A van, which was slowly following the taxi, suddenly accelerated.

Having just waved to the old woman, Gu Nuan lifted her head and, standing in the middle of the road, noticed the anomaly before anyone else.

She saw the van heading straight for him.

Without thinking, Gu Nuan rushed into the middle of the road and pushed him.

Xiao Yebai, taken aback, stumbled after her sudden shove and fell just outside the centerline.

The van brushed past him and immediately pursued her figure.

"Nuannuan—"

Gu Nuan couldn’t hear his voice, relying solely on instinct to roll on the ground.

The van, clearly not anticipating her evasive move, aimed its front at her but missed and was forced to brake abruptly and turn the steering wheel.

Seeing the van’s front charging at her again, Gu Nuan ran wildly, noticing the seaside guardrail ahead. Without time to think, she vaulted over it.

The van, still undeterred, banged into the guardrail.

Struck by the tremendous force of the impact, Gu Nuan nearly shattered into pieces and fell into the sea from atop the guardrail.

At that moment, Xiao Yebai caught up, climbed onto the van’s door, and reached in to grab the driver.

The driver, in a panic, twisted the steering wheel trying to shake off Xiao Yebai.

If Xiao Yebai hadn’t seen his wife about to fall into the sea, he would have dragged the driver straight out of the vehicle.

Xiao Yebai leapt down from the van and ran to the guardrail. The van took the opportunity to swiftly escape. From the van’s front mirror, one could see her hand hanging onto the guardrail, her head covered in blood. Likely, when the van hit the guardrail, Gu Nuan was simultaneously struck in the head while hanging from it.

Looking at the situation, she was probably left with half a life, if not dead.

Having achieved their goal, the van made a desperate break for it.

Xiao Yebai rushed to the guardrail and grabbed Gu Nuan’s hand; gravity pulled his arm so that he could clearly hear the sound of his bones dislocating.

His eyes were fixed as he gazed at her unconscious face, eyes closed.

A blue Ferrari appeared at the intersection, speeding in their direction. Once it reached them, Zhan Dapeng scrambled out of the car.

Fortunately, he had just received orders today to take an old lady into the city, and right before her taxi passed the intersection where he was waiting, it abruptly stopped claiming there had been an accident.

Grandma Zhou thought she heard someone calling out Gu Nuan’s name, and unsettled by this, she asked the taxi to halt.

Zhan Dapeng immediately drove over here.

He first helped Xiao Yebai pull the injured Gu Nuan onto the road.

Xiao Yebai, with one arm hanging limply, could barely stand straight, his face pallid, more terrifying than a corpse.

Zhan Dapeng was worried about him and equally concerned for Gu Nuan, unsure of what to do.

Xiao Yebai’s voice suddenly spoke up, "Give me a phone, call Tang Sili."

Xiao Yebai’s voice was very calm, too calm, which rather than comforting Zhan Dapeng, stretched his nerves to the limit. Therefore, before making the call to Tang Sili, he sent Tang Sili a text message.
