Chapter 419: Chapter 419: Protect Him _1

Seeing their actions, Xia Qingtian realized that there was no way to reason with them. For safety, she decided to call the traffic police for assistance.

However, right after she informed them of her situation and location, she felt a strong impact on her vehicle.

It was the overzealous fans who, seeing Xia Qingtian refusing to stop her car, instructed their driver to ram into it from the side.

The car instantly lost its balance.

Although the driver tried frantically to steer and brake, it was all in vain.

The out-of-control car crashed into the guardrails of the overhead bridge.

Xia Qingtian’s mind went blank, with her only thoughts focusing on protecting Huo Qilin.

He had a live interview to appear on National Television for which he couldn’t get injured or be absent from.

With that in mind, she instinctively threw herself onto Huo Qilin, held him tightly, and used her own body to shield him from harm.

Huo Qilin realized what she was trying to do from the moment she threw herself onto him.

"Let go," he tried to push Xia Qingtian away who was shielding him.

"You can’t get hurt," Xia Qingtian, instead of letting go, held onto him even more tightly.

Trapped between the back seat and Xia Qingtian, Huo Qilin couldn’t muster the strength to push her away and a hint of crimson flashed in his eyes as he looked at the woman protecting him.

Finally, a loud crash echoed from the bridge.

The car that Xia Qingtian and Huo Qilin were in crashed mercilessly into the bridge’s guardrails.

Feeling the strong impact, Xia Qingtian’s body, due to inertia, swung back and hit the co-pilot’s seat, resulting in excruciating pain.

For a moment, she saw nothing but darkness, a deafening buzz ringing in her head, as if she had been transported to a different world.

"Xia Qingtian, are you okay?"

"Are you hurt?"

"Answer me, don’t scare me."

It took a while for Xia Qingtian to regain her senses, only to hear the trembling, almost crying, voice of Huo Qilin.

With her vision refocused, she looked at Huo Qilin.

When she finally got a clear look, a flash of surprise took over her eyes as she saw Huo Qilin’s tear-filled eyes firmly gripping her shoulders, looking like he was going to break down any moment.

It seemed that he was genuinely frightened.

"Are you hurt?" The first thing Xia Qingtian did upon regaining her senses was to inquire about Huo Qilin’s wellbeing.

With his eyes still reddish, Huo Qilin looked deeply at her, "I’m fine, I’m not hurt, what about you? How are you?"

"I... I’m fine too." Xia Qingtian looked at him carefully and, apart from a slightly pale complexion, it didn’t seem like he was injured at all. She let out a sigh of relief.

Next, she met the teary gaze of Huo Qilin and instinctively curved her lips, trying to muster a smile to comfort him.

But before she could even smile, she was suddenly pulled into an embrace.

"Xia Qingtian, as long as you’re alright," Huo Qilin shivered as he held her tightly.

After hugging her for a while, as if struck by a thought, he threatened in a seemingly fierce tone, "I’m warning you, if you ever dare to do something like this again, I will quit the entertainment industry."

Xia Qingtian was not scared at all, and saw through his false fierceness in his trembling voice. He was just pretending to be tough because he was worried about her.

"Mmm, I won’t do it again," she tugged a little at the corner of her lips, promising Huo Qilin.

Huo Qilin didn’t say anything more and just kept holding her tightly.

By now, the loud buzzing sound in Xia Qingtian’s head was slowly easing.

She looked at Huo Qilin and said, "Okay, you can let go of me now."

Huo Qilin hesitated for a moment before releasing his hold on her.

Immediately, Xia Qingtian looked over at the driver in the front row, asking him concernedly about his injuries.

The driver had a head injury and his legs were trapped between the steering wheel and the seat, but fortunately, his life was not in danger.

Out of the three people in the car, the driver and Xia Qingtian, who both had their seatbelts fastened, were injured. Huo Qilin, on the other hand, was all right and could take care of his duties later, which was an unexpected piece of good news out of this unfortunate incident.

Xia Qingtian then wanted to call for an ambulance.

However, for some unknown reason, she couldn’t use her right hand and her left hand was stuck.

With no other choice, she had Huo Qilin make the call.

Once Huo Qilin followed her instructions and dialed 120, he then called their office to send a new driver and an assistant to them.

After making the calls, Xia Qingtian finally had time to take note of those overzealous fans who caused this accident.

The obsessed fans, who were likely aware of the trouble they had caused, probably escaped fearing the consequences.

Xia Qingtian sincerely thought their escape was a good thing, fearing that if they stayed, she would have to deal with them even before the traffic police arrived.

Soon after, the traffic police arrived and rescued the injured from the car.

As the condition of the injured was unknown, they had to wait at the scene for the ambulance. Meanwhile, the police put up warning signs to alert other road users and secure the area while waiting with them for the ambulance to arrive.

For some reason, Xia Qingtian felt unusually cold, her head felt heavy, and she felt so exhausted that she could barely keep her eyes open.

She forced herself to stay awake and reminded Huo Qilin, "We have already called, the company is sending a driver and an assistant to you. You’re not injured, and once our car arrives, you will still have time to make it to your music interview live show."

At this moment, she was immensely glad that she had allowed for extra time to cover unforeseen incidents like this, which didn’t affect Huo Qilin’s live interview show tonight.

Xia Qingtian, feeling uneasy, reminded him, "I got a bit hurt and will not be able to accompany you to the show. However, you must perform well and leave a good impression on National Television. When your show starts later, I will..."

Before she could finish what she was saying, she stumbled and almost fell.

Huo Qilin promptly supported her, just about to let her sit down, when he suddenly felt a damp sensation in the hand supporting her back, immediately causing a sense of unease.

He had Xia Qingtian sit down against the bridge’s guardrail and slowly withdrew his hand.

On seeing his hand stained with blood, his pupils shrunk in shock.

He immediately understood what had happened, "Xia Qingtian, are you injured? Where are you hurt?"

He wanted to check her injuries, but he didn’t dare move her, fearing that due to his lack of medical knowledge, he might exacerbate her injuries.
