191: Highway Car Accident (Part 1)

The group enjoyed their dinner for over two hours before it concluded, and Lin Zifeng walked out of the hotel with the family of four to say their goodbyes at the entrance.

Li Jing urged them several times, telling Chen Yuxi to bring Lin Zifeng home for a meal tomorrow.

Knowing that Lin Zifeng had to return to Yushu County tomorrow afternoon, she wanted to host a farewell meal for him at noon.

Chen Yuqing also indicated that she would come home at noon tomorrow, and since Lin Zifeng found it hard to refuse, he had to agree.

Chen Yuqing drove Mr. and Mrs. Chen Yuanhua home, while Chen Yuxi drove him toward the Residential Community where they lived.

"Zifeng, I didn't expect my parents to like you so much. They have doted on me and my sister since we were little, but I feel like they treat you even better than they treat us!"

Chen Yuxi said while driving.

"Isn't that perfectly normal? Are you jealous of me? Actually, most parents treat their Son-in-law well because they want their Son-in-law to treat their daughter even better."

Lin Zifeng was in a good mood and said casually.

"You always manage to see the essence of many things from a different angle. But I can tell you responsibly that while what you said might be a factor with my parents, they genuinely like you from the bottom of their hearts, and I can feel that."

Chen Yuxi said confidently.

"Isn't there a saying? A Son-in-law is like half a son?"

Lin Zifeng said with a smile.

Just like that, the two chatted, and before long, Chen Yuxi drove the car into the Residential Community.

After parking the car, the two got out together and walked upstairs hand in hand.

Lin Zifeng spent two very pleasant days in the provincial capital. On the afternoon of the seventh day of the Lunar New Year, he said goodbye to Chen Yuxi's family of four and drove away.

He was officially due back at work tomorrow. Originally, he had planned to leave tonight or tomorrow morning and ask for a half-day leave.

Although Chen Yuxi was reluctant to let him go, she persuaded him to leave earlier in the afternoon for the sake of his safety and work.

Lin Zifeng knew she was thinking of him, so he changed his mind.

Watching Lin Zifeng's car disappear from sight, Chen Yuxi and her family of four turned back.

Lin Zifeng soon drove onto the Expressway, heading in the direction of Yushu County.

He had been driving on the Expressway for less than an hour when he saw from a distance an SUV that had either suffered a blowout or the driver was driving while fatigued and had become dazed.

This high-end SUV scraped directly against the Expressway guardrail, and then the SUV went out of control.

It swayed rapidly from side to side and then rolled over quickly on the Expressway.

Lin Zifeng slowed down appropriately while turning on his hazard lights to warn the vehicles behind him. His speed dropped quickly from over 100 km/h to over 60 km/h, swaying slightly to force the vehicles behind him to slow down as well.

The drivers behind also noticed the situation ahead and consciously reduced their speed, gradually pulling their cars over to the emergency lane.

Lin Zifeng quickly got out of the car, and at this moment, several other drivers also got out and gathered around.

Lin Zifeng immediately spoke up: "Fellow drivers, quickly take out your warning signs and go to the back to alert the oncoming vehicles. Also, hurry and call the police and call 120."

Several drivers agreed and went off to help.

At this time, a middle-aged man came to his side and said: "Young man, look at that SUV, it's all deformed and leaking oil! I'm afraid everyone inside is done for."

"Sir, please help keep an eye on things here, I'm going to go ahead and see what the situation is."

After saying this, Lin Zifeng was about to walk toward the crashed vehicle, but his arm was grabbed by the middle-aged man.

"Young man, that car is leaking oil and could catch fire or explode at any moment. It's better to wait for professionals to handle it! You are so young, don't throw your life away for nothing."

"Sir, thank you for your good intentions, but by the time the professionals arrive, it might be too late."

After saying this, he broke free from his arm and ran quickly toward the crashed vehicle more than 100 meters away.

The middle-aged man reached out, sighed softly, and went to help in the back.

The crashed SUV was now upside down with its four wheels in the air, and many parts of it were deformed.

When Lin Zifeng approached, he smelled a strong odor of gasoline and an unpleasant burnt smell.

He looked inside and saw that the airbags had all deployed; the driver and the young man sitting in the passenger seat were both unconscious.

There were also two young women in the back seat; although they were bleeding from their foreheads and had sustained some injuries, they were still conscious.

Seeing Lin Zifeng appear nearby, hope ignited in their eyes, and they anxiously tapped on the car window, shouting for help.

Lin Zifeng stepped forward and tried to open the car door, but because the door was somewhat deformed, he tried several times without success.

So he shouted loudly: "Move back a bit, cover your faces, I'm going to smash the car window."

The two women nodded and hurriedly tried to move away from the car window, using their arms to protect their faces.

Lin Zifeng gathered all his strength, using the power from his waist to drive his upper arm, and punched the car window hard. The window shattered in response.

He couldn't help but feel grateful that he had been practicing the Eight Extremities Fist with his grandfather since he was a child; otherwise, it would have been difficult to shatter this car glass.

Lin Zifeng didn't have time to think about anything else, nor did he care if the car glass would cut his hands. The situation was critical, so he quickly tore down all the broken car glass in a few swift motions.

He pulled the two women out one after the other. The two women were not seriously injured, but their faces were covered in blood, and they were anxious to save the two people in the front.

But how could they, with their strength, open the car door?

In order not to waste time, Lin Zifeng quickly said: "Move aside, let me do it."

The two women obediently moved aside, and Lin Zifeng followed the same method, punching and shattering the driver's side window, and laboriously pulled the driver out.

"Quickly, help him and go to the back; it's not safe here."

"If we leave, what about you? My brother hasn't come out yet!"

One of the women said anxiously.

Seeing that it was about to catch fire, Lin Zifeng had no time to explain. He thrust the unconscious man in his hands to the two women, told them to support the man, and shouted loudly: "Go quickly, I'm going to save him. If we all stay here, we might all die here."

Under his loud scolding, the two women subconsciously supported the man and walked toward the back.

Lin Zifeng quickly climbed into the car window and, using all his strength, pulled the young man in the passenger seat out little by little.

Before he could even catch his breath, with a 'whoosh', the car burst into flames.

He hurriedly supported the young man and moved toward the back as quickly as possible.

At this moment, the man he was supporting also woke up, felt the danger, and ran toward the back with him.

The fire engulfed the entire vehicle. They had only run about ten meters away when a loud boom came from behind them, and the vehicle behind them exploded.
