Chapter 441 Stay with me
The moment Liu Shan’s car entered the middle of the four-way intersection to make a turn, a big garbage truck with no headlights on slams right into his car.
The hard impact pushes Liu Shan’s smaller car until it flips over three times in a 360 and slams into a lamppost across the street.
"Yue Ling..."
Lu Tian’s eyes stared in disbelief at what just happened. He whispers her name with a trembling heart as the phone in his hand drops to the hard ground.
"Yue Ling..."
Like someone had suddenly dropped a heavy weight onto his heart, Lu Tian felt like he was trapped in the deepest part of the ocean with no air to breathe.
Everything happened so quickly and right in front of him.
Suddenly feeling another wave of shocking pain in his chest, his senses finally returns to him. Dread flash on his face as he roars her name and runs to her like his life depended on it.
"YUE—!!! LING—!!!"
Reaching the damaged car that is now upside down, Lu Tian tries to pull the open the jammed door with all his strength. His mind filled with two things and that is his wife and child.
*Pu!
*Pu!
Just as he was able to pull the door open a little, a shot fires from behind him. However, before it could hit Lu Tian, someone else also fires a shot.
Two bullets collide together before changing their course of directions.
Lin Hui and Qi Li who also witnessed the horrifying scene were unable to think clearly. Both took their helmets off and dropped their motorcycles. Without having any second thoughts, they rush towards Liu Shan’s car.

When they were almost there, a man suddenly stepped out from the driver seat of the garbage truck and shoots Lu Tian.
Luckily Lin Hui reacted fast enough and shot a bullet in the direction of the man’s bullet.
*Pu!
Seeing that the two bullets had change directions and Lu Tian was now safe, he fires another shot at the man before he (the man) could shoot again.
Unfortunately, Lin Hui’s bullet did not enter the man’s skull but hit his waist. The man utters a groan and falls down to the ground.
Lin Hui’s attention turns back to the messed up car and he force his legs to run faster.
"BOSS!! LIU SHAN!!"
Even with the sound of gunshots right behind him, Lu Tian did not care. He needed to know that his wife and child are fine. He cannot afford anything to happen to them.
Using all the strength in him, he pulls the jammed door to force it open. Just as he was finally able to pull the door open, the window that had yet to fully shatter completely shatters.
Inside the car, the seatbelt wrapped across Yue Ling held her upside down.
Her body was covered in red as a trail of blood covered half of her face with open cuts as parts of her clothes had been slit from the crash.
However, what ached Lu Tian’s heart the most was her hands. Even when she was experiencing this life threatening situation, she still held onto her stomach like she was protecting their child.
"Yue Ling, everything will be okay. So stay with me."
Lu Tian force himself to stay together and tries to calm his trembling hands. He reach for the belt buckle to unfasten her seatbelt.
"Please... stay with me."
"Tian..."
As his pleading whispers enter her ears, Yue Ling’s eyes faintly open as she murmurs his name. She knew his words were to try and help her stay awake, but her state of mind right now was fighting between staying conscious and slipping into unconsciousness.
Her eyes slowly blink and she faintly whispers to him.
"H... Help Liu Shan..."
Lu Tian nods his head as tries to unfasten her, but the buckle was jammed from the crash. Just as he tug on the seatbelt, he sees Yue Ling’s eyes slowly close and she slips into unconsciousness.
"No... No... Yue Ling! Stay with me! Keep your eyes open, don’t sleep."
Fear, far greater than anything he has ever felt quickly wash over him as he continues to pull the seatbelt.
"Don’t sleep. Focus on my voice. Please."
Qi Li and Lin Hui reached the car. Seeing the once nice car turn into a total wreck, both men were rooted to the ground as their entire body froze. This was the first time they ever felt this way.
"Help Liu Shan! Hurry!"
Without turning to look at the two men, Lu Tian yells at them. Even when his wife was in a critical condition, she did not think about herself, but others.
His words quickly put some senses back to Lin Hui and Qi Li. Both men quickly move forward to help get Liu Shan out of the car as Lu Tian with Yue Ling.
Like Yue Ling, the assistant’s seatbelt also held him in place as his body hung upside down. However, he had long slipped into darkness.
"Liu Shan! Liu Shan!"
Qi Li calls out the man’s name in hopes of waking him up. He reach for the door, but due to the crash, the side on the front of the car was smashed as part of it it jammed into the driver side door.
"Liu Shan, you bastard! Wake up! You better not die!!"
Tears ran down Lin Hui’s eyes the moment he saw his boss and brother both unconscious. If this was a dream, he wish someone would wake him up already.
He and Qi Li were right in front of them and yet, they weren’t able to do anything.
"What the hell happened here?!!!"
Uncle Zhi’s voice yells out to them as he ran towards them. He and everyone else had been waiting inside his shop when they heard the loud crash. However, when they came out to check, they did not expect to see Liu Shan’s car turned upside down and big garbage truck.
However, as he nears them, all the colors on his face turned pale in dismay. Tears filled his eyes and he turns around to Xu Long who was not too far behind him.
"Call an ambulance! Hurry!!"
His panicked gasping and sobs made him unable to think clearly but quickly thinking of a person, he waves to Xu Long.
"Call the General. The ambulance won’t get here fast enough!"
Given his words, he rushes to help the three men get Yue Ling and Liu Shan out of the car.
"Oh God!"
Lian Ni Shang agonized a sharp inhale and covers her mouth with both her hands. She did not hold back her tears and falls to her knees.
Just seeing the horrible state the car is in, she prays that her boss and Liu Shan are alright.
Standing next to her, Shan Sinan did not comfort her, but rushes to help too. Right now, Yue Ling and Liu Shan need to be taken out of the car or else something everyone fear might happen.
Lu Tian tugs at the seatbelt again. Even when his hand was bleeding due to friction burn from the seatbelt, he does not stop. Gripping the seatbelt tighter, he gives another hard pull.
*Click
Finally, the seatbelt unclips, and Yue Ling’s body covered in blood falls down. However, Lu Tian quickly and carefully caught her in time. His arms were slit by the shattered pieces of glass, but he did not care.
Right now, the pain he is feeling is far more painful than these small cuts.
"Yue Ling? Yue Ling?"
Pulling her out of the car, he held her tightly in his arms. He could feel a pulse, but it was very weak. So weak that he couldn’t almost feel it.
He press his forehead against hers and quietly murmurs.
"Please... I can’t lose you... please..."
