Reborn Heiress: Seeking Revenge-Chapter 515: A Bloody Car Accident (1)_1
These two were on vacation, back in their hometown. The You Family Pharmacy and the beauty chain stores were still on holiday. No matter how urgently people outside were looking for them, or how many orders piled up in the hospitals, everyone was off. Since Shangguan You hadn’t said to open, naturally, everyone listened to her.
Compared to the pair’s leisurely time, Chu Yi, Long Hua, and Li Qing were not as idle. Their influence was gradually seeping into other provinces and cities.
「They had been in B City for three days.」 Of these three days, what made Shangguan You the happiest was today. From morning, their group ditched their cars; each person picked out a bicycle, and they all rode towards the suburbs. It was July, the perfect season for an outing.
The group, being a bunch of youthful girls and boys, naturally enjoyed such activities that combined leisure and sport. Shangguan You pedaled her bicycle, a gentle breeze brushing past her. Breathing in the fresh air, she felt more spirited and refreshed than ever. These few days of relaxation had swept away the gloom from her heart.
BEEP BEEP BEEP! A row of black cars zoomed past, raising a gale that left the group by the roadside covered in grime.
"TSK! What’s so great about that? Just a few beat-up cars," Li Lan huffed, coughing slightly as she muttered curses.
"Alright, we’re out to have fun. Let’s go! How about a race to see who gets to the foot of the mountain first?" Shangguan You suggested with a light smile. "Those cars might have looked ordinary, but from their sheer speed, one could tell the people inside were no ordinary folk. They were either wealthy or noble, and most likely some corporation’s inspection team."
"Youyou, does the person who gets to the foot of the mountain first get a reward?" Zhong Mingyang asked with a playful tone. "There has to be some prize, right? Otherwise, why would anyone put in the effort?"
"Youyou, how about this: the first one to arrive can make a request of anyone in our group, and that person must agree. What do you think?" Li Lan suggested, raising an eyebrow with a smile.
"Youyou, if I win, will you agree to one of my conditions?" Zhu Li quickly interjected.
"That’s right! If I win, Youyou, you’ll have to agree to one of my conditions. Don’t worry, the condition I ask for will definitely be within your power," Li Lan also quickly chimed in.
"Okay, so be it," Zhong Mingyang declared. "The winner can ask Miss Youyou for one thing within her power, something she can definitely do."
"Good."
"Alright, no problem," Han Yachu and Lan Xuan chimed in. Being able to ask Shangguan You for something within her power was, naturally, an excellent prize.
"But if I win, who do I get to ask?" Shangguan You raised an eyebrow, glaring fiercely at Zhu Li.
"If you win, you can ask a question of each of us," Li Lan replied.
"Alright, this was your idea, so don’t go back on your word later!" Shangguan You’s lips curved into a slight smile. "One, two, three, GO!" She was the first to speed off on her bicycle.
"Youyou, are you cheating?"
"Youyou, wait for me!"
"Hahaha, so you have your mischievous moments too."
"Let’s go."
"Okay." As the group spoke, they quickly pedaled after her. This was an opportunity not to be missed. The wind whistled past their ears. Shangguan You’s lips curled up slightly. This kind of relaxing, carefree life is exactly what I’ve always wanted but couldn’t have, she thought.
She was currently enjoying this pleasure, not using any Spiritual Energy, making her just like everyone else. As the bicycles sped forward, her initial lead was slowly overtaken by the three men, with Zhong Mingyang flashing Shangguan You a triumphant smile. The difference in physical strength between men and women was fully displayed in this kind of exercise. Zhong Mingyang is an old man, and the oldest in our group, Shangguan You mused with a faint smile. Does he really need to be so smug about winning? She rolled her eyes. Her legs were beginning to feel numb, and she involuntarily slowed down, gradually falling behind the others.
A strong smell of blood hit her nostrils. Shangguan You frowned. What’s going on?
BOOM! A loud noise echoed from afar, causing those ahead to halt involuntarily.
"What happened?" The three young men instinctively protected the girls in the middle.
"I’m not sure. Let’s go and check it out, but everyone be careful," Shangguan You said calmly, riding her bicycle swiftly towards the scene.
A hundred meters ahead, two large trucks had collided with five black sedans, scattering debris and blood everywhere. The two trucks had crashed into the mountainside, their front ends crumpled, and the five black sedans were similarly wrecked. Trails of blood marked the road; the earlier BOOM was the sound of their collision.
Passing drivers stopped one after another. Some began calling on their phones; others got out of their cars to check for injuries or fatalities inside the wrecked vehicles.
Amidst the bloody scene, Zhu Li was pale with fear, unable to speak, her whole body trembling. From a distance, Shangguan You watched, her lips curling slightly. Isn’t this an opportunity sent from heaven? she mused. 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂
Shangguan You whispered a few words into Zhong Mingyang’s and Li Lan’s ears. Li Lan nodded, took out her phone, and immediately started making arrangements, while Zhong Mingyang and Shangguan You headed towards the accident site.
"Zhu Li, rest here for a bit. I’ll go check," Shangguan You said quickly before walking over. Lan Xuan and Han Yachu exchanged a look. Lan Xuan then took out his phone to immediately inform Lan Guohua. This was a major traffic accident; his father needed to know right away and begin to handle it.
"Let’s check the injuries and fatalities first," Zhong Mingyang said, his expression completely different from his earlier joking demeanor. While speaking, he and Han Yachu began opening the car doors to carefully extricate the injured.
The passing drivers, seeing others start to help, naturally did the same. The road had to be cleared before they could leave.
