Chapter 599 We Must Do Something
The next morning, Nan Chen and Ning Ran drove to Lotus Town, which was rather far away from Lightspring. Not to
mention that the roads were bumpy because of reconstruction.
However, it was much more complicated than they thought because they had to stop every other five minutes
because of the craters on the road. If not for Nan Chen’s jeep, they wouldn’t even move forward much.
They would come across a reconstruction site every now and then and would be blocked for a while. Ning Ran was
on the verge of breaking down. When would they reach Lotus Town at the speed that they were going?
“Calm down. There’s only one way to Lotus Town. Even if you’re anxious, there’s nothing you can do about it,” Nan
Chen said.
She knew that he was more anxious than she was.
As the head of Nanshi Corporation, he worked over ten hours every day.
Although he was on leave, there were still a lot of proposals that needed his approval. He still needed to read e-
mails and reply to them every day.
He might have the whole company to delegate his job to, but there remained important stuff that he needed to see
personally.
“Why not I drive so that you can look through your e-mails?” Ning Ran suggested.
“It’s okay. The road is too bumpy and you’re inexperienced.”
She couldn’t agree more with that statement.
When they barely made past a quarter of the distance between Lightspring and Lotus Town after two hours, Ning
Ran became more anxious.
“We need to think of something else or we won’t be able to reach Lotus Town by nightfall.”
“I agree,” Nan Chen said.
“Think of something then.”
“I’ve already thought of something.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“What is it?”
“Motorcycles have more advantages on roads with blockage. We’ll get there much faster if we switch to a
motorcycle.”
“Absolutely. Why didn’t I think of preparing one in advance? The motorcycles just now had already gone far.”
“We can buy one,” he said.
“Here? I don’t see any motorcycle shop along the road.”
“Don’t leave the car. I’ll go take a look in front,” Nan Chen said.
“Okay. I’ll take the driver’s seat. I’ll drive forward when the blockage is removed and meet you in front.”
Nan Chen got out of the car and returned after ten minutes on a motorcycle.
“I stopped a motorcyclist and bought this from him. You should drive the car back and wait for me at the hotel while
I take the motorcycle to Lotus Town. Once I find the doctor, I’ll bring him back,” he said.
“No. I want to go with you.”
“This road is too bumpy, and it’s very tiring to ride a motorcycle. You should wait for me at the hotel.”
“No, I’m worried. I want to go with you. I’ll park the car beside the road. Let me go with you,” Ning Ran insisted.
Nan Chen finally agreed to it.
After parking the car in a relatively wide space, they rode the motorcycle and carried on their journey.
Now, their journey was much faster because they could go around the cars. Despite wearing helmets, the wind kept
blowing at their faces and the dust hurt their eyes.
Nevertheless, Ning Ran was happy that they were approaching their destination.
She wrapped her arms tightly around Nan Chen’s muscular and hard waist.
“When did you learn to ride a motorcycle? Seems like there’s nothing you don’t know,” she said.
However, he couldn’t hear what she was saying because the wind was strong, and he was wearing a helmet. She
gave up talking to him after a while.
The road was getting steeper as they travelled further.
After passing through a few slopes, they drove by a cliff. Ning Ran didn’t dare to look below the cliff because it was
too scary.
At the same time, a deafening noise erupted from behind them. Ning Ran turned around and saw a truck which
was normally used for carrying sand.
She didn’t find it weird because they had passed by many similar trucks on the way.
However, the truck was speeding. It was probably unloaded.
Nan Chen slowed down to let the truck go past them because he didn’t want to go as fast as it.
However, Ning Ran realized that the truck was charging toward them.
Nan Chen had made enough space for the vehicle to pass by, but it still came crashing toward them.
“Oh no…”
When he realized what was going on, it was too late. He turned around and protected her in his embrace at an
insane speed as the truck collided with them and sent them spiraling down the cliff.
In reality, there was no slow-motion to slow down everything. Before they could think of anything, they landed on
the ground as jolts of pain shot up their body.
At the bottom of the cliff was a river with a riverbank full of large rocks.
Nan Chen and Ning Ran landed on the rocks, but if it weren’t for the tree branches that cushioned their fall, they
would have already died.
Ning Ran passed out because the pain was too much when her head hit the rock.
She did not know how much time had passed when she came around to a voice. “Wake up, Ning Ran. Wake up!”
As the wind blew across her face, her eyes flew open, and she sat up with a jolt. Nan Chen was looking at her
anxiously.
She felt her whole body aching, but she managed to get up. “Are you okay?”
Nan Chen replied calmly, “I’m fine, but I think my left leg is broken.”
“Oh, my! What should we do? Other than your leg, are you okay?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“I’m fine. It’s just that I can’t move my left leg. Are you hurt?” he asked with concern.
“The bump on my forehead hurts a little, but luckily, it has stopped bleeding. My knees hurt a little, but at least I can
still walk.”
“That’s good. Do you know where our phones are?”
He put his cellphone in her bag when they were riding the motorcycle. However, after the collision, her bag fell into
the river and washed away.
“My bag flew into the river. I can’t find it,” Ning Ran replied.
Nan Chen went silent as he looked around the surroundings. There was a cliff right above them and they could hear
cars driving past, but there was no way they could climb up the cliff because it was too steep.
“We need to get help fast. Can you look around and find a tree branch for me? I need a walking stick, or I can’t
walk,” Nan Chen said.
“Alright.”
Ning Ran walked around the area, but she couldn’t find any suitable branches for Nan Chen. There were only a few
twigs by the riverbank.
Although there were trees, she didn’t have the tools to cut a few branches off.
Ning Ran returned to Nan Chen’s side empty-handed.
“What should we do now?”
He tried his best to get up from the ground. “We’ll walk along the river. There should be boats downstream since
the river is wide enough. That way, we can ask for help.”
“But can you walk?”
“I must. I can’t sit here and do nothing.”
