Chapter 17: Chapter 013: Saving Tantai Wanrong
Tianyuan Road in the Xuhui District was quite far from Emali Group, with the Yuning District of the city administrative center in between.
Although he had not been in Hua Hai City for long, he was quite familiar with the overall layout and roads of Hua Hai City, mainly out of years of habitual instinct. Before he even entered Hua Hai City, he had studied the city map of Hua Hai for a long time, and after arriving, he had spent two days driving around in a second-hand Alto.
To avoid the congested roads, Ye Fan deliberately took a detour via Wende Road and Xiuning Road.
Around 11:40, on East Wende Road, as Ye Fan was about to pass through a T-intersection, he suddenly saw the traffic light turn red and stopped the car. Lazily leaning back in his seat, he rested his right hand on the steering wheel, tapping lightly with his index and middle fingers, casually watching the pedestrians crossing the intersection in front of him.
The area around Wende Road was primarily government functional units with tall buildings, lacking enterprises, markets, and even supermarkets and hotels, making it quieter and sparser in terms of vehicles and pedestrians compared to other bustling areas of Hua Hai City.
There weren't many pedestrians crossing the street, just a sparse group of seven or eight. Suddenly, a mature and attractive figure caught Ye Fan's attention.
Ye Fan couldn't help but sit up straight and looked more intently, realizing it was someone he knew.
The mature figure was tall and voluptuous, emanating an air of nobility and grace, wearing black pointed stilettos and holding a black briefcase, accompanied by a woman who looked like a secretary.
"Eh, isn't that Tantai Wanrong?" Ye Fan was somewhat surprised. "Judging by her appearance, she seems to work in the city government."
Since he was looking from the side, he had a clear view of Tantai Wanrong's curvaceous figure.
Just then, Ye Fan suddenly heard a chorus of screams. His gaze rushed across the entire intersection and saw a white JAC truck bursting from a road on the right, heading straight towards Tantai Wanrong in the middle of the intersection, accelerating as it went.
Damn it!
Ye Fan cursed angrily, a powerful aura exuding from him.
He quickly grabbed the seatbelt with his right hand and pulled it fiercely, breaking it off. At the same time, he opened the car door with his left hand, and his entire body exited the car unbelievably fast. Then, he pushed off the ground with force, causing the tough concrete road surface to crack, and his body shot towards Tantai Wanrong like a bullet.
Tantai Wanrong, seeing the truck accelerating towards her, had no time to dodge and instinctively closed her eyes and screamed, believing she was doomed.
However, at that moment, Ye Fan lunged forward, pushed Tantai Wanrong with both hands, sending her flying several meters away, crashing into the flowerbed by the roadside.
When Ye Fan attempted to push away the secretary-like woman following Tantai Wanrong, a strong gust from the side hit him as the truck bore down on him. In a split second, Ye Fan had no choice but to give up on continuing the rescue. He kicked against the oncoming truck's hood, then used the momentum to leap away, soaring like a giant bird.
With a loud "bang," the scream of the secretary-like woman abruptly halted. She was thrown more than ten meters away, tumbling six or seven meters across the concrete surface, ending up a bloody mess, with blood strewn all over the ground.
No sooner had Ye Fan landed than he heard a screech of brakes.
He quickly looked up to see the white truck leaving black scorched marks on the tough concrete surface as it rapidly swung its front around, maliciously accelerating again towards Tantai Wanrong, who had fallen in the flowerbed.
"Fuck you!" Ye Fan couldn't help but roar, dashing over as fast as lightning.
Unlike just now, when he only had time to push Tantai Wanrong away, this time he was closer to her than the white truck, which had to accelerate from a standstill.
He reached her before the truck could hit, picked up the unconscious Tantai Wanrong, utilized qinggong, his legs moving like wheels, and quickly dodged the white truck's onslaught, taking refuge behind a sedan parked by the pedestrian walkway of the intersection.
With these sedans serving as barriers, the white truck, however vicious, could not plow through so many cars to continue its rampage.
Sure enough, seeing that it could no longer kill Tantai Wanrong, the white truck immediately turned around to flee.
A woman, petrified with shock, failed to dodge and was struck dead on the spot by the white truck.
Phew—
Ye Fan exhaled turbid air, gritting his teeth as he watched the white truck's taillights fade into the distance.
To kill Tantai Wanrong, the killer deemed human lives as insignificant, running over two innocent women.
He shifted his gaze back to Tantai Wanrong in his arms, noticing her blood-stained clothes, her pale face as white as paper, and her eyes tightly shut.
He gently laid Tantai Wanrong down on the ground and quickly examined her, finding that her injuries were not severe; she was mostly knocked unconscious. Well, some shifting of her internal organs was certain.
He pressed on an acupoint on Tantai Wanrong's face, and she groaned, slowly waking up and opening her beautiful eyes.
"Hehe, you're awake. You're not badly hurt, no missing limbs, and your face isn't disfigured," Ye Fan said with a smile to comfort her.
Tantai Wanrong took a moment to regain full consciousness, and looking at Ye Fan's face, she said weakly, "Ye Fan, thank you."
"Hehe, don't mention it. I just happened to be here, and who says I'm not a good Samaritan?" Ye Fan said with a light smile, "The police and ambulance should be arriving soon, and since your injuries aren't serious, I must leave; I have urgent matters to attend to."
Saying this, he stood up to leave.
With some time already lost, he hoped he could still make it and not keep Gao Feng waiting.
Suddenly, Tantai Wanrong grabbed his hand, pleading, "Please don't go. I'm scared."
Seeing the beautiful yet terrified expression on Tantai Wanrong's face, Ye Fan softened and squatted down again, smiling gently, "Alright."
"Thank you," said Tantai Wanrong gratefully.
Ye Fan just laughed nonchalantly.
Sometime later, the sound of sirens wailed from a distance.
Accompanying the police were, of course, the ambulances.
As the nurses lifted Tantai Wanrong into the ambulance, she tightly clutched Ye Fan's hand, refusing to let go. Left with no choice, Ye Fan had to follow her into the ambulance.
As the doors closed, the ambulance sped towards the hospital.
Inside the ambulance, besides Ye Fan and Tantai Wanrong, there were two nurses.
Since Tantai Wanrong's injuries weren't severe, the nurses were not overly anxious.
One of the nurses, after a long gaze at Tantai Wanrong's beautiful face, carefully asked, "Excuse me, are you the mayor of Tantai?"
"Mayor?" Ye Fan was surprised, turning towards Tantai Wanrong.
Tantai Wanrong managed a slight smile with her pale face and replied, "Yes, I am Tantai Wanrong, the Deputy Mayor of Hua Hai. Hello, and thank you."
Hearing this, the two nurses expressed their admiration and repeatedly assured her that it was their duty.
Tantai Wanrong slightly turned her head, saw the surprise on Ye Fan's face, and smiled, "Didn't expect that, did you?"
"Hehe, indeed, I did not," Ye Fan chuckled, glancing at the delicate white hand holding his.
Hehe, the thought of a beautiful, noble, mature, and sexy female mayor tightly holding his hand was a bit thrilling. Haha, this would be great bragging material for the future.
