The King's Enchanting-Chapter 1445 - 1457: Crime and Punishment (4)
The car suddenly began to shake!
At first, it was just a slight tremor, but later it felt like dancing on the crest of a wave—crash, crash—such a renowned earthquake-resistant car couldn’t help but start trembling!
At this moment, Situ Xuan decisively let her go. He didn’t know what was happening, but he knew he must escape immediately!
This is a mountainous area; if anything happens, they won’t have any way to escape!
He suddenly let her go. Jian Anning, once free, was already struggling to the point of exhaustion. Her collar was wide open, and she slid softly from the car window to the seat. After a slight pause to recover, she planned to push the door open and get out!
Situ Xuan pursed his lips and said, "Don’t go yet! Something might happen!" But Jian Anning didn’t care, even if there was a glimmer of hope, she would cling firmly to the door handle!
At this point, the car’s shaking was getting more intense, and Situ Xuan didn’t have much time to persuade her. After all, the car was already locked, and no matter how hard she banged on the window, it was useless.
Situ Xuan made a quick decision and immediately jumped to the back seat. He had thrown the keys so casually earlier, but now it was troublesome to find them. Finally, he reached into the crevice of the car seat and found them. He had no time to worry about appearances, and without a word, he flipped over the seat and immediately inserted the key into the slot!
"Rumble!"
Now he finally saw it. Not far from here, due to days of heavy rain, there was a landslide! Rocks and soil poured down like a waterfall, cascading with a crash!
Although the worst-hit area of the landslide was still some distance away, you could never be sure with such things! Especially since their car was parked beside a cliff, any mishap and it would be a plunge into an abyss!
Even though he wanted to be with Jian Anning, he never thought of becoming ghostly lovers with her here today! He must strive to save both of their lives!
But the problem was, the more nervous he became, the stiffer his actions were. It took ages to insert the key—correctly—and trying to start the engine, but due to too much rain, the front wheels of the car were stuck in mud. The more he tried to turn, the deeper it got mired!
"Shit!" Even someone as graceful as Situ Xuan started cursing! It showed how urgent everything was for him!
But the harder he tried to move the car, the more it refused to budge! Seeing more landslides, he acted decisively and unlocked the car doors immediately!
Jian Anning was still slumped by the door when he suddenly leaned over. Still reeling from his earlier harassment, she thought he was coming to pester her further and dodged in fright. Situ Xuan didn’t have time to explain anything, opened the door without a word!
Smelling the fresh air outside, Jian Anning no longer cared about her appearance. She scrambled out of the car, rolling and crawling!
As she stumbled away, she felt her legs becoming weak, nearly collapsing to the ground right after exiting the car!
Situ Xuan also jumped out of the car, seeing her about to fall, he rushed to support her from behind without a word!
Being touched by him made Jian Anning hop up as if she were electrified! Without a word, she pushed him hard and staggered back, running away!
At this moment, the entire ground felt like it was an earthquake, the mountain wall beside, and the ground underfoot all began to tremble!
