Chapter 2840: Pitiful and Heartbreaking
Charlene was completely taken aback.
Startled by the sudden turn of events, she momentarily lost her composure, instinctively screaming and frantically trying to steer the wheel to avoid the obstacle ahead.
However, a mistake in the heat of the moment caused the car to crash into the tire wall that separates the track.
The violent impact and the elastic rebound of the tires forced the vehicle to stop, but the excessive force caused the entire vehicle to overturn.
Charlene felt a sudden dizziness; everything in her vision was spinning wildly, and the ear-piercing sound of metal scraping against metal filled her ears.
When she came to her senses, she found herself trapped inside the deformed carriage, unable to move at all.
A sharp pain shot through my forehead, probably from the impact earlier. My head felt dizzy, and my thoughts were sluggish.
Her face was already deathly pale with fright, and even her lips had lost all color.
Everyone else present was stunned by what they saw.
Shi Ye's expression changed drastically. Without thinking, he rushed to the scene of the incident.
When he saw the overturned car in the distance, his heart jumped into his throat, and only one thought kept echoing in his mind.
That is, Xia Lin must not get into any trouble.
He rushed over at top speed.
The others who followed also realized what was happening and headed in that direction together.
Everyone rushed to the car, and Shi Ye anxiously bent down and called out, "Xia Lin, are you alright? Can you hear me?"
His voice was filled with panic and worry.
Charlene couldn't say a word; she seemed frozen in place, only able to watch helplessly as Shi Ye called her name.
Staff members rushed over, comforting Charlene while quickly and efficiently helping her to escape the predicament.
A few minutes later, Charlene was helped out.
Fortunately, she braked in time before the impact, which greatly reduced the force of the impact. In addition, the on-site emergency measures were appropriate, and the accident did not cause fatal injuries.
However, the violent impact inevitably resulted in a huge bump swelling on his forehead.
At the same time, she also twisted her arm and her leg was hit when the car overturned.
Right now, she was in so much pain that she felt weak and could barely support her weight.
Everyone was anxious and kept asking about her condition.
"Are you okay?"
"Are you ok?"
Charlene stood there stunned for a moment, and it took her a while to gradually sort out her thoughts and realize what had just happened.
She slowly raised her eyelids, her gaze sweeping over the several faces in front of her, each one filled with concern. Finally, in a slightly trembling voice, she replied, "It's nothing... I'm fine."
Shi Ye was still worried and asked, "Really? Does anything hurt? Tell me! I'll take you to the hospital!"
The boy stared intently at Xia Lin, his brows furrowed in urgency, his icy tone conveying a sense of tension.
Charlene felt a sense of relief, and her eyes instantly welled up with tears.
She sniffed, her voice choked with sobs, "I... feel dizzy, my hands and feet hurt, and I think I scraped my skin."
That scared me to death!
As she spoke, tears streamed down her face like beads from a broken string, and her shoulders trembled slightly as she cried.
It looked just like a frightened little rabbit, pitiful and heartbreaking.
Tokino's heart was inexplicably gripped.
Before he could even speak, his colleague, unable to bear it any longer, turned around angrily and shouted, "Who was this idiot who did this? Do they even know how to drive?!"
Didn't you see there were people on the road? Look how scared you've made that girl!
This matter needs to be addressed!
At that moment, the people in the car opposite also got out.
When they saw who it was, everyone was stunned.
This is... John??
Shi Ye also saw the other person. His already tense expression suddenly darkened, and his voice was suppressed and cold, "Why is it you?"
John simply stood there calmly, his gaze lightly sweeping over Charlene, who was leaning against Shino, and his tone was so steady it was almost indifferent, “It’s me.”
Sorry! The car seemed to have a problem and I lost control for a moment, accidentally crashing through the median barrier.
"Did I scare Charlene?"
Upon hearing this, Shi Ye's expression darkened further.
The other party apologized verbally, but there was no sincerity in their tone; it sounded more like a perfunctory explanation.
Moreover, Shi Ye's entire attention was focused on Xia Lin's car, so he clearly saw the entire process of the accident.
John's car did not "go out of control" and rush towards us at all.
In the instant he accelerated and leaped, he clearly and consciously raised the front of the car and precisely crossed the tire wall that blocked the track.
That requires extremely high skill to accomplish.
The instant the car landed, John, as if he had planned it all along, swerved sharply, the car almost scraping against Charlene's, and swerved to intimidate her.
It also brought up a screeching sound and a cloud of dust before finally coming to a stop!
Shi Ye's tone was as cold as ice, each word seemingly squeezed out from between his teeth, "You're really quite careless!"
John, however, seemed not to grasp the deeper meaning, and raised an eyebrow in feigned ignorance. "Why does that sound so sarcastic? Are you questioning something?"
He paused, a faint smile playing on his lips, and continued, "If you don't believe me, you're welcome to come and inspect my car."
He looked confident and even a little contemptuous, as if he wasn't afraid of being inspected.
As they were talking, people from the opposite track also came over.
Shi Ye and the others knew those people; they were John's colleagues.
Surprisingly, Lee Ji-eun was among them.
Shino's colleagues were not stupid either; they could tell at a glance that this was no accident and understood what was going on.
One of them frowned deeply and said in a cold tone, "John, you're supposed to be a professional race car driver. Don't use your profession to do things that are beneath you."
Why go to such lengths? Aren't you afraid of tarnishing this industry?
John gave a disdainful sneer and said in a contemptuous tone, "I don't understand what you're saying."
These days, even slander requires evidence, don't you think?
His gaze swept over the crowd, carrying a clear sense of provocation.
A sharp, menacing look appeared on Shi Ye's brow, and his cold gaze contained suppressed rage.
His colleagues also looked displeased, and a surge of resentment welled up in their hearts.
Everyone knows that it is indeed difficult to find evidence in this matter.
After all, the other party was clearly well-prepared and had taken sufficient precautions.
Even if they manage to escape unscathed, they can easily claim that their superior skills and adequate protection prevented them from suffering any harm.
Therefore, Xia Lin will probably have no choice but to swallow this bitter pill in silence.
