Shen Jingqi and senior sister Li Baiyu stood by the roadside, looking at the unconscious Uncle Li, their hearts filled with anxiety and confusion.
Uncle Li, in Shen Jingqi's eyes, had always been calm and seasoned, but now he lay lifeless in the back seat like a broken doll, with weak breathing and a pale complexion.
"We need to get him to a hospital immediately." Shen Jingqi said urgently, trying to wake Uncle Li, but there was no response from him.
However, Li Baiyu shook her head, and an indescribable resolve showed in her eyes: "No, we can't go to the hospital."
Hearing this, Shen Jingqi felt a chill. He looked at Li Baiyu in confusion, trying to find answers in her eyes. But Li Baiyu simply turned her head silently, staring into the night outside the window, as if a heavy burden weighed on her heart.
"Why? Senior sister, Uncle Li's condition is critical, we must get him to a hospital as soon as possible." Shen Jingqi emphasized again, unable to understand Li Baiyu's decision.
Li Baiyu took a deep breath, then slowly said: "Jingqi, there are things you don't understand. Uncle Li's condition won't be resolved by going to the hospital. We must first return to the villa and find a solution."
Shen Jingqi wanted to say something more, but seeing Li Baiyu's determined eyes, he ultimately chose silence. He knew Li Baiyu must have her reasons. So, he quietly walked to the car and opened the driver's door.
It was a luxury custom sports car he had never seen before, with a sleek body that shimmered with an alluring sheen in the night, like a leopard ready to strike. A surge of excitement and curiosity filled Shen Jingqi's heart as he gently touched the steering wheel, feeling the touch from the future.
"Do you know how to drive?" Li Baiyu's voice sounded in his ear, having walked up to him without him noticing.
Shen Jingqi nodded. Although he had never driven such a luxurious car, he was familiar with basic driving skills. He took a deep breath, sat in the driver's seat, adjusted the seat and mirrors, and prepared to start the car.
"Be careful." Li Baiyu said softly, as she sat in the passenger seat, her eyes closely watching Shen Jingqi's actions.
Shen Jingqi nodded, then gently pressed the accelerator. The car shuddered violently, as if awakened, bursting with astonishing power. Shen Jingqi firmly held the steering wheel, savoring the thrill of the car racing through the night.
The speed kept increasing, and Shen Jingqi's heartbeat accelerated accordingly. He gazed intently at the road ahead, trying to take in every detail. Despite his concentration, an inexplicable fear surged in his heart. He had no idea what awaited them ahead, nor why Li Baiyu was so insistent on returning to the villa.
"Don't worry." Li Baiyu's voice sounded again, as if she could read Shen Jingqi's mind, "As long as you follow my instructions, we'll be fine."
Hearing this, Shen Jingqi felt slightly reassured. He nodded, driving the car with more focus. In the darkness, the luxury sports car shot through the silent night sky like a bolt of black lightning.
However, just as the car was halfway along its journey, an incident occurred. Shen Jingqi was suddenly hit with a severe dizziness, his vision went black, and he nearly lost consciousness. Instinctively, he slammed on the brakes, but the car, like a runaway horse, skidded uncontrollably on the road.
"Jingqi! What's wrong?" Li Baiyu's frightened voice sounded in his ear, as she tried to grab Shen Jingqi's arm, but he had already slumped weakly onto the steering wheel.
At this critical moment, Li Baiyu suddenly pushed Shen Jingqi aside and firmly grasped the steering wheel. She quickly adjusted the speed and direction, smoothly bringing the car to a stop by the roadside.
As Shen Jingqi awoke from his faint, he felt a severe headache. He rubbed his temples, then looked at Li Baiyu. She was driving steadily, her eyes firm and powerful, as if she could dispel all darkness. Follow current novels on NovᴇlFirᴇ.ɴet
"Are you okay?" Li Baiyu asked with concern, her voice carrying an indescribable gentleness.
Shen Jingqi shook his head, then straightened up. He felt a wave of fear; if it weren't for Li Baiyu's timely action, they might have ended up in a car crash.
"Senior sister, just now..." Shen Jingqi began, unsure how to describe Li Baiyu's earlier performance.
Li Baiyu smiled slightly and said, "I learned some emergency driving skills. In such situations, you can only rely on instinct and intuition."
Hearing this, Shen Jingqi couldn't help but admire Li Baiyu even more. He knew that not only was Li Baiyu beautiful and charming on the outside, but she was also strong and resilient inside.
The car continued moving forward, with Shen Jingqi sitting in the passenger seat, silently watching Li Baiyu. He saw her fingers lightly dancing on the steering wheel, as if playing a silent symphony. Her eyes were determined and deep, as if she could see through all the secrets hidden in the darkness.
A surge of inexplicable emotion rose in Shen Jingqi's heart.
He didn't know what this emotion was, but he knew it came from a deep admiration and reliance on Li Baiyu.
At this moment, he seemed to have found a haven to rely on, someone to confide in.
However, just as he was immersed in this emotion, a sudden voice broke the silence.
"Look ahead!" Li Baiyu suddenly shouted, her voice carrying a trace of alarm.
Shen Jingqi jerked his head up to see a massive obstacle looming on the road ahead. Instinctively, he shouted, "Brake! Brake now!"
But Li Baiyu didn't hit the brake. Instead, she sharply turned the wheel, attempting to dodge the obstacle. The car carved out a perilous arc on the road, almost tipping over. Yet, with her incredible driving skills, Li Baiyu managed to bring the car to a steady halt.
Shen Jingqi's heart nearly leaped from his chest as he gasped for air, feeling as if he'd just escaped death's grasp. He looked towards Li Baiyu, who wore a determined expression.
Soon, the villa began to faintly appear in the distance.
For the first time, Shen Jingqi felt such an urgent pressure of time.
When the car finally came to a stop in the garage, both Shen Jingqi and Li Baiyu sighed in relief.
They exchanged a smile.
Li Baiyu led Shen Jingqi into the study and opened a secret room.
Inside the secret room was a strange machine, with various complex indicator lights flashing on it. Shen Jingqi curiously looked at this machine, not knowing its purpose.
"This is a device developed by my family." Li Baiyu's voice echoed in the secret room, "It can detect abnormal electrical signals in the human body. Uncle Li's condition is likely related to this kind of signal."
