“Qin Youxuan, don’t think anything will change just because you’re back. There’s no place for you in this family…

“Actually, it’s easy for you to free yourself. Just go and die! Like your disappointing mother, end everything once and for all…”

The night was enchanting.

A dazzling sports car sped on the road.

Whoosh—

Qin Youxuan grabbed the steering wheel with both her hands and stepped hard on the accelerator.

The wind blew in through the car window, sweeping up her long hair.

Her exquisite face was expressionless, but her eyes like stars were burning with intense fury.

Using the gas pedal under her foot to vent her anger, she floored it and accelerated to the maximum.

Honk honk—

As soon as she turned her sight to the lights, before she could change lanes, a large truck came barreling. The glaring headlights blinded her for a moment.

In her panic, she stepped on the accelerator, and the car swerved toward the sidewalk.

A tall figure suddenly jumped in front of her car from the shadows.

“Ahhh—”

Qin Youxuan stepped on the brakes, the screeching of tires accompanied by a muffled thud.

She had knocked down someone…

Qin Youxuan was stunned. Her eyes widened and even her breathing became hurried.

She grabbed her bag from the passenger seat and took out her cellphone. With trembling fingers, she dialed 120.

“I can’t!”

She ended the call before it could connect and pressed the phone to her chest.

At this crucial time, when she was fighting for family inheritance, she could not afford to have any negative events linked to her.

If the ambulance and police came, the media would soon follow…

She could not have that happening.

Qin Youxuan took a deep breath and patted her pale face.

Don’t be nervous; it’ll be fine.

She unbuckled her seatbelt and forced herself to remain calm as she opened the door to get out of the car.

Because of the dim lights, she could not clearly see the person she had knocked down.

She could only vaguely tell that it was a man. Although the rise and fall of his chest was weak, it was still apparent.

He was quite far from her car front, so she could not tell if she had really hit him.

Luckily, there were no traces of blood on him, so he should be fine.

Qin Youxuan gritted her teeth and helped the man up. She struggled to pull him into the vehicle. After fastening her seatbelt, she started the car again.

She chose the nearest hotel and called for the baggage handlers to help her bring the man into a guest room.

“Miss Qin, everything is settled. Do you need us to prepare a sobering tea for your boyfriend?” inquired the waiter respectfully.

“No need, no need.” She quickly waved her hand. This was just an excuse she had made up on the spot.

She thought for a moment. “Help me get a medical kit!”

A life was at stake here. She had her difficulties, but it was still better to do something than wait for everything to become irremediable.

If worse came to worst, she would send this man to a hospital.

“Okay, please wait for a moment.” The service staff quickly brought the first-aid kit over. Qin Youxuan took it and returned to her room.

Sitting on the sofa in the bedroom, she looked nervously at the man lying in bed.

He was very tall. Just looking at his muscular body elicited pressure.

His figure alone made people feel indescribably oppressed.

His head was pressed against the pillow, so she could not see his facial features clearly. The contours of his face were charming, though.

Qin Youxuan placed the first-aid kit on the bed and turned to enter the bathroom.

She planned to wash her face first before checking if there were any wounds on the man’s body.

Splash—

She splashed water on her face.

Qin Youxuan took a deep breath. Only then did the shock of hitting someone fade slightly.

The sound of running water drowned out everything else. When she straightened in front of the sink and moved to reach for a towel, the light suddenly went off.

“Ahhh—”

In the darkness, a hand grabbed her wrist.
