Chapter 233: You Are My Last Stubbornness

s a man, I'm not afraid of cold water, am I"Pei Haoran wore a sullen expression, as if he found her nagging a bit annoying. "Go back to bed and lie down... Washing dishes is so simple, you stand here...You need to get to the international airport in half an hour, that's impossible, look at the torrential rain, traffic ahead is completely jammed, and with this weather, speed limits are in place, driving too fast could cause an accident...

The taxi driver, seeing her anxious face and drenched body, kindly advised, "You're heavily pregnant. Don't get caught in the rain. Come into the car and wait for the rain to ease a bit..."

She didn't have time to wait.

Qiao Baoer's face was pale from the rain, she didn't speak, just shook her head at the driver in the car window.

His right hand clutched the phone tightly, his heart pounding.

The bullet fragments in Junzhi's brain have caused many complications, affecting his visual and auditory sensory nerves. He won't live long.

Grandpa is taking him to Seattle tonight. I heard he fell down the stairs and is in a coma. Grandpa doesn't want us involved. You need to get to the international airport in half an hour. He definitely wants you by his side. Come over immediately....

They said you left while he was unconscious. Qiao Ba'er, you're really heartless.

The rain was getting heavier and heavier. The pitch-black night made her feel like she had lost her soul. She stood there, dazed and confused, staring at the congested traffic and the rows of hazy orange streetlights.

Her mind was blank, she didn't know what to do.

Tears in her eyes mingled with the rain, blurring her vision. A surge of unease swelled within her chest, constricting her heart like a vice, making it hard to breathe.

She didn't want to leave, but her grandfather drove her out.

She really wanted to go back and see him.

"Bao'er, don't get wet in the rain, come back with me first..." A familiar voice sounded behind her, accompanied by hurried footsteps running straight towards her.

Gu Ruoyan originally thought Qiao Baier would get straight into the taxi and leave, but she didn't. And her expression seemed off, as if something had happened. Worried, Gu Ruoyan followed her.

However, her voice made Qiao Bao'er, who was frozen in place, instantly become alert. Her face paled with fright, fearing that she would be grabbed again. She panicked and ran forward without even turning back.

"Baby, be careful and watch out for cars..."

Gu Ruoyan admitted she was selfish. She didn't care whether Jun Zhimu lived or died, but Qiao Baier was her niece. Seeing her with a large belly, pale face and frightened expression, Gu Ruoyan couldn't help but feel sorry for her and regretted calling the old master of the Jun family. She was too stubborn, bumping into things and always getting hurt.

At last, Gu Ruyi didn't dare to chase after him anymore. She quickly took out her phone and called Tang Yu, asking him to come over and help.

Qiao Bao'er, with her nearly full-term belly held in one hand, ran. Not only was she soaked through, but muddy water splashed all over her clothes, leaving her very disheveled. She was tired and stopped, leaning on the wall of a shop with her right hand to catch her breath.

My mind is foggy and confused, unable to think clearly.

Half an hour to get to the international airport...

She only wants to go to this place, but how to get there, how to get there...

Fighting back the salty tears welling in her eyes, trembling lips, she kept repressing the fear in her heart, "Calm down, I can do this, I have to!"

And at this moment, there were some sharp voices arguing from the side. The sound of the argument grew louder and louder, gradually waking her up. She raised her head and looked in a daze towards the street alley on her right.

Two car owners were arguing over there, “You mother**er, are you blind I was driving perfectly fine, and you rear-ended me!”

"You dare to curse me! You wretched poor bastard, you even dented the front of my Porsche. With this heavy rain, how could I possibly know so much was there It's all your junk car blocking my way! I warn you, better apologize to me immediately. Do you know who I am Just wait and see how I'll make you pay in this city."

Two cars were parked in the alley and got into a rear-end collision. The two drivers argued fiercely.

Qiao Bao'er's cheeks slid with raindrops, she stood awkwardly to the side and watched them for a minute, her gaze fixed on the Porsche in front of them, its car keys still stuck in the ignition and the door left ajar.

Her body, like a walking corpse, just walked past and sat in the car, slamming the door shut.

Until she started the car, the two arguing drivers behind her were stunned. One of them, a domineering socialite, cursed angrily and ran after her.

"What do you want to do, steal a car, steal a car—"

And this white Porsche had already been slammed into gear by Qiao Bao'er, its wheels splashing dirty water as it rapidly vanished down this dark alley.

The satellite navigation in the car showed that several national highways in the vicinity were congested. It was absolutely not enough time to take the normal route. As soon as the car crossed the alley behind it, it suddenly turned the steering wheel right and drove onto the sidewalk.

This rainstorm brewed all day, starting in the morning. Thunder roared and heavy rain poured relentlessly, severely disrupting traffic. All the surrounding shops were closed, and there weren't any pedestrians on the streets.

"Take the back road, turn onto Jinduer Road, and you'll be at the international airport in half an hour. I can do it..."

She raised her left elbow, wiping away the tears from her eyes with her damp shirt. She hated crying, her gaze fixed and determined on the road ahead. There was no way she wouldn't get this done.

Her hands gripped the steering wheel, her fear and tension etched into her knuckles. She knew what she was doing was dangerous, illegal even, but at this point, she couldn't afford to care.

At the third intersection, continue to turn right into a somber alley. This is the back alley of a bar, with trash cans scattered haphazardly and the place looking messy.

Under the cover of a dark, heavy rain, car headlights pierced through the gloom, illuminating the narrow alleyway. This secluded lane was rarely traversed even on ordinary days, and under this downpour, not even stray cats dared to venture out. The only sounds were the relentless drumming of raindrops and the distant rumble of passing vehicles, creating an atmosphere of eerie silence.

She drove with intense focus, her gaze fixed firmly ahead. Perhaps it was the dampness clinging to her clothes, or perhaps the oppressive atmosphere of the stormy night, but a shiver ran down her spine. She glanced over her shoulder at the back seat...

"Who are you," she suddenly exclaimed.

It wasn't her imagination, it was real, there was actually someone in the back seat of the car.

How could there be another person in this car

Jo Bao'er was so scared that her three souls flew away and seven souls scattered. Before she could even make out the person behind her, the other party suddenly stood up and covered her eyes with both hands. She couldn't see the road ahead.

"Let go, let go of me—" The car was still moving, and she struggled frantically, shouting.

"What do you want Just let me go."

Then the icy hand from the back seat slid down her body, stopping at her protruding abdomen. The other person leaned in, their head pressing close to her ear, a breath of chilling resentment filling the air, "Joe Bao'er, I want your life—"

As soon as the words left her mouth, the other woman pressed down hard on her abdomen with her left hand. Her palm wasn't large, and the woman's fingernails were extremely sharp; she stabbed them fiercely into Qiao Bao'er's stomach as if trying to rip her open.

Qiao Bao'er felt a sharp pain in her abdomen. The fear that surged within her filled every cell of her body. She screamed, "Let go! Let go!" Her hand loosened from the steering wheel as she struggled with the other person.

The car sped uncontrollably forward, accelerating.

The sky was covered with thick, dark clouds and the heavy rain continued to pour. On the national highway, cars were bumper-to-bumper, drivers were impatient and moving at a snail's pace. Suddenly, a car recklessly dashed out of a darkened alley on their right, causing them to slam on their brakes in fear. They swerved to avoid it, turning their heads with shock. The screeching sound of brakes filled the air, accompanied by angry curses.

Boom—

A deafening roar echoed through the air, sending shivers of fear down everyone's spines.

That white Porsche slammed into the guardrail on the right side of the highway, its metal body twisted and deformed. The entire car flipped over before finally coming to a stop.

A warm, dark red liquid was gurgling out from under the car door. A large pool of blood quickly appeared on the asphalt road around the car.

The air was thick with the smell of blood, staining the entire space. Car owners looked panicked, and gradually fell silent. The nauseating metallic scent of blood hung heavy in the air, leaving everyone feeling uneasy and unsettled.
