Chapter 199 A thick layer of ice gathered in Huo Sili's dark eyes.
"Drive faster, faster."
Hearing Huo Sili urging him to accelerate for what seemed like the umpteenth time, He Xu, who had already floored the accelerator, dared not tell Huo Sili, who was undoubtedly on the verge of collapse, the truth that he could no longer accelerate.
Instead, he replied "okay" again.
Huo Sili stared intently ahead, his handsome face now revealing undisguised panic and despair.
Some fabric.
The car exploded.
The cemetery in the northern suburbs.
No matter which keyword it is, they are all terrifying.
Once upon a time, Huo Sili thought he would never be afraid of anything again, but at this moment, he felt an indescribable fear in many moments as the car sped towards its destination.
He wanted to go.
But I don't dare to go.
Reason compels him to go.
But a voice inside him kept stopping him.
Tell him that he cannot accept seeing that scene.
Huo Sili raised his hand to cover his face, experiencing an extremely intense panic for the first time. His face was deathly pale, but his eyes were as red as those of a ferocious beast fighting for its prey.
However, there was not a trace of murderous intent in his eyes.
And only endless despair remained.
As the car gradually slowed down, Huo Sili suddenly snapped back to reality, his hand freezing in front of his face for a moment before he removed it.
He Xu's voice rang out from the side, pulling him back to the present moment.
"Mr. Huo, we're almost there... right, just ahead."
Horst lowered his hand completely, his pupils trembling as he looked ahead.
Upon seeing the scene ahead, his already pale face instantly turned even more like a skeleton.
Flames were flickering ahead. The fire had weakened considerably after the firefighting efforts, but due to the unstable internal conditions, it was still prone to reignition, making it extremely dangerous.
The firefighters who had just put out the fire temporarily moved aside, and the expressions of the people around them were all very serious.
Traffic police were directing traffic from the vicinity. When they saw a car approaching, they stopped and walked towards them with complicated expressions.
"What's going on? Is the car broken down...?"
Before he could finish speaking, a gust of wind rushed past the traffic policeman.
It was so fast and so high that it made my heart skip a beat.
Realizing what was happening, I quickly turned around and chased after them. When I saw them just running straight into the police cordon, I was so scared that my eyes almost popped out of their sockets.
He hurriedly called out to those nearby for help: "Hey! Someone's gone past! Stop him!"
He then loudly urged, "Comrade! Comrade! Calm down! Are you a family member?"
It's strange, I just heard that family members have arrived. Based on the information we have so far, the car isn't a local Kyoto car. How come there are so many family members or friends in Kyoto?
But regardless of who this person is, the traffic police were serious about stopping him.
But it was soon discovered that this person was different from the previous ones.
Not only that, they even dared to…!
"Ouch...!"
The two young traffic police officers were suddenly pushed to the ground. Their eyes widened, and they looked at each other, their faces turning red and white.
People nearby, seeing this, quickly gathered around to try and stop them.
“You can’t go over there. This car has been burning for a while, and some parts even blew out just now. It’s too dangerous. Are you a family member? If you want to go over there, you should wait until the fire is completely out.”
As Huo Sili looked at the group of people in front of him and was about to push them aside again, He Xu, who had stopped the car and gotten out to put up a warning triangle at the back, quickly ran over.
He saw so many people gathered here and knew that Huo Sili was definitely not in any danger, so he quickly put up warning signs to prevent any accidents that might happen if a car drove by behind.
I never imagined I'd forgotten about Hosley's fighting prowess.
He Xu was quite startled when he saw Huo Sili suddenly throw the two burly men in uniform who were blocking his way to the ground.
"Mr. Huo, please calm down..."
But before he could finish speaking, he met the bloodshot and pained eyes of Horstley as he turned to look at him.
He wanted to offer some more advice, but the words stuck in his throat, and he couldn't say them for a long time.
The despair, pain, and collapse of this moment.
No one understood this better than Horstley.
The two traffic police officers who had just been pushed were helped up by their colleagues. They were about to say something to reprimand them, but when they came over and met Huo Sili's eyes, they couldn't utter a single word.
"These...they're family members, right? Please be understanding." Someone nearby patted the two people who had been pushed over.
The deceased should be respected, and given the circumstances, there's no way to fail to understand.
The two didn't hold it against him, but Horst's desire to go back still didn't receive support.
"Please accept our condolences, but please understand our actions. The past has hurt you. The person has passed away, and those who are still alive should not cause any more trouble. Please live your life well. Once the fire is completely extinguished and it is safe, we will let you pass."
The traffic policeman next to him said softly.
He Xu looked up at Huo Sili, whose gaze remained fixed on the vehicle wreckage within the cordon.
A breeze was blowing, and the fire on the wreckage intensified.
There is a lot of vegetation on the side. This road leads to the cemetery and is clearly marked as a remote road. Few people usually walk on this side.
People nearby used fire extinguishers to put out the rising flames, but the flames would reignite and be extinguished again, repeating this process repeatedly. Occasionally, parts would explode out of the flames as if they were bursting.
Horstley stared intently at what was before him, taking in every scene.
I strained until my eyes ached and felt sore. Suddenly, my vision blurred, and when I strained to see again, I couldn't see anything. I felt a dizzy, dull pain in my head and fell backward.
"President Huo! President Huo! (Hey! Comrade! Handsome guy!)"
"Call 120 immediately! It's probably a blood pressure problem caused by the shock! Hurry!"
"I already told them that if they're behind, they should be informed not to drive in, and the cordon should be expanded by another 100 meters. They can't afford to see this!"
……
When Horst awoke, he could still hear the sounds he had heard when he fainted—anxious, regretful, and worried ones.
He propped himself up in bed and, as was his habit, looked around, only to find that he was the only person in the room.
There's a clock on the wall; it shows ten o'clock right now.
But the room was clearly brightly lit.
It's not 10 PM.
"woke up?"
Just as I belatedly realized that my stomach was hurting abnormally, the ward door was suddenly pushed open.
Immediately following was a male voice that the brain recognized as familiar.
In the past, Horst would have frowned, but at this moment, he keenly realized that he was completely unmoved.
In fact, if there were a mirror in front of him at this moment, he would see how horrifyingly pale his face was—his features were still handsome, but they were pale with a strong sense of illness.
Lu Xiuyuan placed a disposable plastic cup containing warm boiled water and a pack of medical cotton swabs on the bedside table.
"It's good that you're awake. I thought you wouldn't wake up."
As he spoke, the man glanced at him and then sat down on the bedside bench, seemingly already used to it.
She gestured with her chin towards the water glass, "Since you're awake, drink some water first. Do you even know what time it is now?"
Huo Sili seemed to finally find a little emotional response; his sword-like eyebrows furrowed slightly, but only to a very slight degree.
Lu Xiuyuan undoubtedly noticed Huo Sili's strange behavior. He hesitated for a moment, then dropped the tone that had been trying to cheer Huo Sili up and amuse him.
He then said seriously, "It's 10 a.m. on the third day since you fainted."
Huo Sili was slightly taken aback.
Lu Xiuyuan continued, "You collapsed the day before yesterday afternoon and haven't eaten since. You've been kept alive by the IV fluids we give you."
"I don't want to say much else, but in short, drink some water first, and then I'll have someone bring over some vegetable and lean meat porridge or something. Eat some liquid food that's easy to digest to help restore your digestive function. The most important thing right now is to stabilize yourself."
As he spoke, Lu Xiuyuan glanced at Huo Sili again.
His eyes were also noticeably red.
As he turned his head, Lu Xiuyuan said something in a low voice, but Huo Sili didn't hear it clearly and didn't care to ask.
He turned to look at the water Lu Xiuyuan had just gestured for him to drink, and reached out to take it, only to find that his body was unusually weak.
The plastic cup is very light, and even when filled with water, it is not as light as a regular, slightly thicker glass cup.
But now it's actually quite difficult to hold.
He finished the glass of water with trembling hands. The food had arrived. Lu Xiuyuan stood to the side, glanced at Huo Sili, shook his head, and was about to leave.
Suddenly, I was stopped.
"Xiuyuan, could you contact someone to help me check on that car?"
Lu Xiuyuan pursed his lips, turned around, sighed, and looked at Huo Sili on the hospital bed with a complicated expression.
"The car that had the accident, right? I, I used my connections to check for you that very day. That car was using a fake license plate."
A car with a fake license plate.
Horstley was well aware of what this term meant—it referred to criminals using forged and illegally obtained license plates, models, and colors to make illegally acquired vehicles appear as "legal" vehicles.
Realizing this, the light that had shone in Huo Sili's eyes because of the first few sentences of Lu Xiuyuan's words vanished instantly.
The practice of using counterfeit license plates has long been strictly prohibited by the state.
Moreover, as far as he knew, this kind of operation...
A thick layer of ice gradually gathered in Huo Sili's dark eyes.
