Special Forces Medic-Chapter 707 - 675: Car Accident (Part 1)

On the road to the city center, a fog hung heavy. It was already mid-June, and as Yanjing gradually entered summer, it still had this thick, impenetrable weather. The atmosphere must have been quite damaged.

The driver cautiously drove the car. After meeting Wang Zhanting in Yao Zheng's office, Secretary Luo decided to return to the city center.

In fact, it was clear that Yao Zheng had already begun to waver. What should be known and what shouldn't be known had already surfaced, as for that nurse, he need not worry about any accidents happening.

If she died, there would be two kinds of testimony: one from Yan Juanjuan, Yao Zheng, or perhaps a scapegoat like Secretary Li. Whoever took action now would be extremely foolish.

"Why did it suddenly become foggy?" Secretary Luo looked at the gray sky outside. The fog was mixed with fine particles, with Yanjing's sandstorms ever-present. "How much longer until we reach the City Committee Building?"

"It should be a little over an hour. The visibility ahead is very poor, so the car's speed will be reduced." The driver carefully drove the vehicle, relying only on the faint taillights of the car ahead to gauge distance, making overtaking almost impossible. As the car edged out, another vehicle might crash into them from behind. "Is Secretary Luo in a hurry?"

Assessing the situation, Secretary Luo shook his head. "Be mindful of safety, I'm not in a rush."

Just then, Secretary Luo received a call from Hua Muyun. He took a deep breath before answering. "Secretary Hua!"

"What's the situation over there? The foggy weather today gives me an uneasy feeling."

Hearing this tone, Secretary Luo guessed that Hua Qingyi had not yet contacted Hua Muyun, which put him in a tough spot. "Secretary Hua, I'm already on the way back. Young Master Hua is well, no need to worry."

Even after receiving Secretary Luo's assurance, Hua Muyun couldn't shake off the premonition, watching the gray sky after hanging up the call.

Secretary Luo closed his eyes, unable to calm his mind as the car swayed. He slowly opened his eyes. "What's wrong?" His keen senses noticed the driver's odd behavior. "What's happening?"

The car's interior wasn't very warm, and a window left a slit open, yet the driver was sweating profusely. Secretary Luo leaned forward from the backseat, a habit born out of safety awareness, always on guard to eliminate unnecessary dangers for Hua Muyun.

This habit preserved his good instincts, so when the car shuddered abnormally, he sensed something was off, as the speed slowed down further.

"The brakes have failed!" The driver dared not turn back, his voice quiet as he imparted the fact.

"Since when?" Secretary Luo stayed calm, his first reaction was to look back, but nothing could be seen through the rear windshield except occasional flashing high beams.

"When we set off, I checked and everything was fine. Just now, a car tried to change lanes and I stepped on the brakes due to the sudden event." This driver wasn't an ordinary one, and upon reassessment of the issue, he immediately realized its severity. "Secretary Luo, up ahead is the highway section. I'll slow down at the entrance; you jump out. While there may be abrasions, it will mitigate the subsequent risks greatly." With a soldier's intuition, he deemed this the most optimal and safe plan.

"Once on the viaduct, trouble will only increase. Even if you drop me off, it won't prevent ambushes from the back." Secretary Luo thought for a moment. The opponent didn't cut the brakes from the start, intending instead to cause an accident en route.

Haha! Secretary Luo looked out the window, truly every circumstance had been calculated meticulously. If today would be his end, it would be well-deserved given the mastermind's precise planning. If luck favored him to survive today, he'd be keen to see the face of this schemer.

"Secretary Luo, I'll notify the following vehicles to come up and assist you."

"No need to bother. What you can think of, the opponent has surely considered too." There must have been other vehicles inserting themselves between them. "Didn't you mention a car already tried to change lanes? We're already in the trap; just keep driving, maintaining a constant speed and a safe distance from the vehicle ahead."

"But..."

"Rest assured! They're waiting for the moment I jump, so let's play along and see what they intend to do next." Secretary Luo faced the crisis openly, moving the driver emotionally.

"I'll do my utmost."

"Yes, the premise is to protect yourself well; my life lies under your feet!" Secretary Luo joked, surprised by the rapid movements of the opponent. North District really was a perilous territory. "Xiao Liu, who do you think it is?"

"Yan Juanjuan!" The driver, a Dark Warrior by Hua Muyun's side, was a former Special Forces captain-level figure. Due to injuries, he didn't continue serving in the team, which was a slight pity. Hua Muyun saw his potential and recruited him into his Dark Warriors, where he undertook security tasks, possessing a logical mind.

"That's a bold guess. Reasons?"

"I personally feel Yao Zheng lacks the energy and time for it. Besides, Secretary Luo connects most with Yao Zheng, so suspicion falls heavily on him, but Yao Zheng is smart. He calculates, so he wouldn't put himself in harm's way."

"That doesn't qualify as a good explanation." Secretary Luo's reasoning aligned with Xiao Liu's, though he didn't analyze it as arising from Yao Zheng's character but from the event's whole structure. Yao Zheng's ruthlessness had been evident in yesterday's office meeting, the nurse's fear came not from the incident itself but from Yao Zheng, the man; pressing charges against Yan Juanjuan was likely masterminded by Yao Zheng!

Xiao Liu heeded Secretary Luo's words, directly driving onto the viaduct. Both maintained intense vigilance, ready for sudden developments. Xiao Liu already chambered a round and stored a cold weapon in his boots, handing Secretary Luo in the back a pistol. "Can you use it?"

"Don't underestimate me!" Secretary Luo chuckled. "Practicing shooting with the old man wasn't for nothing. Give me a short knife for close defense too."

"Yes, if someone approaches, target the bridge of the nose, chin, and groin. Those are the body's weakest spots to buy time." (To be continued. If you like this work, please come to Qidian (qidian.com) to vote with recommendations and monthlies. Your support is my greatest motivation.)
