Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

The soldier’s unique sense of danger made Zhao Kai open the car door in an instant. From the corner of his eye, he saw Wen Nian running out of the front passenger seat and shouting at him, “Run! Don’t be on the bridge.”

Wen Nian was the first to run. The rain was pouring and all the cars were flashing. Zhao Kai couldn’t even see Wen Nian’s figure clearly.

The two of them quickly ran in the opposite direction. A car owner behind them rolled down the window and shouted, “Hey! Are you two crazy? If you run away and the car is parked here, how am I going to leave later?”

After saying that, he kept honking. Some car owners looked over with confusion in their eyes.

Wen Nian shouted at the person, “Get out of the car and run! Don’t talk nonsense.”

It wasn’t that she didn’t want to save them, but she couldn’t call them out one by one at this time. She could only let whoever listened to her run with her.

The road was slippery on a rainy day, and Wen Nian’s car had already driven to the middle of the bridge. It was a little strenuous for her to run, and she slipped and lost her balance.

Suddenly, a pair of large hands supported her. Zhao Kai took off his wet jacket and covered Wen Nian. “What’s wrong with you? Are we still running?”

Wen Nian looked up and saw that they were about to reach the bridgehead. She nodded vigorously. “Run, this bridge…”

Before she could finish, the sound of the bridge breaking came clearly from behind.

Zhao Kai acutely sensed that something was wrong, but before he could turn around, Wen Nian had already grabbed his hand and ran to the end of the bridge.

The bridge in the suburbs of the capital was broken in the middle. At first, the small cracks were not easy to see. It was also raining heavily, so no one cared about this matter.

However, because of the car accident, many cars had gathered on the bridge. A few of the piers in the middle had already cracked. With an inch of force, a huge crack appeared in the middle, and the crack quickly spread. Zhao Kai’s car was about to fall and hit the car under the bridge.

At this moment, the two of them had already run to the bridgehead. As they were running too anxiously, Wen Nian had completely lost her strength. She sat weakly on the cold ground and let the rain wet her.

Zhao Kai also looked behind him with lingering fear. Many car owners ran towards them. The people were in a panic. Many people fell down and were stepped on by the people behind them.

Zhao Kai bent down and wanted to pull Wen Nian up. “It’s not safe here. There are too many people. We have to go to a safe place.”

However, he realized that her body was trembling non-stop. He couldn’t tell if it was rain or tears on her face. Her eyes were red as she stared straight in the direction of the bridge.

He could only bend down and carry her horizontally. Just as Wen Nian was about to struggle, he ran up and said in a commanding tone, “Don’t move. There are too many people here. It’s easy to get trampled. We have to leave quickly.”

Wen Nian’s body was very light. Although her body was soft, it was cold. Zhao Kai quickly ran to the uphill area and found a convenience store to put her down.

It was raining heavily today, and there was only one cashier in the convenience store.

Zhao Kai quickly ran to the shelf and took a few towels. Then, he said to the cashier, “Miss, do you have any spare clothes? Work clothes are fine too. Find one for her and get her a hot coffee.”

He took a towel and wiped the rain off Wen Nian’s face. He even helped her wipe her hair. At this moment, Wen Nian was trembling non-stop. She could not calm down for a long time.

She didn’t dare to think if she hadn’t run out just now, would she have been smashed to pieces like that car?

Actually, the cashier had already recognized Wen Nian. She quickly prepared hot coffee. “Sir? Coffee. I’ll go find some clothes. Help me take care of the store.”

Zhao Kai thanked her and placed the coffee in Wen Nian’s hand. He knew that she must have been frightened. Although he wanted to ask her why she knew that the bridge was about to collapse, it was obvious that now was not the time.

He gently continued to dry her hair, then glanced at the bridge behind him. It was already overturned. There would definitely be many casualties in such a major accident.

After all, he was still a soldier in his bones. He really could not leave people in the lurch. At this moment, evacuation was the most important.

The cashier took out the clothes and looked at the two of them enviously.

Zhao Kai then said to her, “Do you have a raincoat?”

“Yes, yes!” The little girl quickly took out a disposable raincoat from the shelf and handed it to Zhao Kai.

Zhao Kai smiled. “Thank you. Please take care of her and give her more milk tea or hot water. It would be better if she had a hairdryer.”

He then said to Wen Nian, “Wait for me here. I’m going to help. Don’t run around..”
