Chapter 1440: I Only Want You (138)

Noticing that the police were trying to break the glass of the windows and that Mu Wansheng was pressing her body against hers, Mrs. Mu pushed Mu Wansheng further in, causing her head to slam against the car again. She hollered, “What are you panicking about!?! I have to get out before I can save you! There’s no use getting all flustered!”

Mu Wansheng teared up instantly. Staring at her mother in disbelief, she murmured, “Mother…”

There was nothing else Mrs. Mu could care about except saving her own life now that she was on the brink of death. She panicked even more after knowing that the car was already on fire.

After breaking the glass windows, two of the police officers pulled the chauffeur out of the car before breaking the rear windows. The police officer asked Mrs. Mu worriedly, “Can you move?”

“My leg has been stuck. I can’t move my lower body. Hurry and save me.”

“How about you?” the police officer asked Mu Wansheng.

“I can still move. My legs aren’t stuck.”

“Come over here, then, we’ll rescue you first.”

As soon as the police officer finished speaking, Mrs. Mu protested vehemently, “No, you must save me first. Save me first! You must save me! If you don’t save me, you can’t save her!”

Since Mu Wansheng was on the other side, she would have to pass Mrs. Mu first. Feeling panicky and anxious, the police officer said, “We have to save her first. We’ll definitely save you afterward. She can move but you can’t. We’ll get her to safety first.”

Knowing that no one would survive if this goes on, Mu Wansheng said, “Mother, stop wasting time. Let me go out first.”

“No, you must save me first, officer. If you don’t save me, you definitely can’t save her, you must save me!” she shrieked.

If only there weren’t any car seats in the way, Mu Wansheng would have definitely climbed into the driver’s seat and climbed out of the window. However, the situation did not allow her to do so.

The police officers had no choice but to save her first due to time constraints.

For the sake of her own life, Mrs. Mu did everything she could to pull her legs out with all her might.

She continued, even though her legs were drenched in blood and the excruciating pain made it difficult for her to even breathe.

There was nothing else she could care about.

Mrs. Mu was rescued through painstaking means.

However…

After she had been rescued, the fire began to grow bigger and even the rain could not put it out.

They had already missed the best timing to rescue Mu Wansheng.

Within seconds, the car began to jerk violently and was flipped over the railing, causing it to plunge downwards. It exploded before it even landed on the water. Flames were shot up into the sky with the deafening sounds of an explosion.

By the time Fan Shixin’s helicopter arrived, it was too late.

The call was ended forever.

They could not save her anymore.

He immediately plunged into the river without hesitation, causing the others to be dumbfounded.

Fan Shixin was completely submerged in the cold water where he frantically searched for her.

After searching for two hours in the water, they could only manage to find Mu Wansheng’s half-charred shoe.

Nothing else.

He could already imagine how terrified she must have felt during the explosion.

He had arrived too late.

Fan Shixin sunk into despair, feeling as if his soul had left his body.

He squatted down and covered his eyes with his hands while sobbing uncontrollably.

They had agreed to meet this afternoon and register their marriage the next day.

They had already come to an agreement.

However, it would never happen.

The police officers were distraught and deeply anguished. They could have saved her, yet…

Staring at the dumbstruck Mrs. Mu, Fan Shixin rebuked, “You’re the first mother I’ve ever seen who’d stop your daughter from being rescued for the sake of your own life. If you hadn’t caused any delay, both of you could very likely have been saved. Is she really your daughter? If she is, you’ve really given us an eyeopener.”

Hanging her head low, Mrs. Mu began bawling and weeping. However, no one cared about her at all.

All the members of the Mu family showed up when Mrs. Mu was sent to the hospital for emergency rescue. The senior Mr. Mu was seething with exasperation, and his anger knew no bounds.

After hearing about what happened during the rescue efforts on the expressway, Mr. Mu had stormed off to the hospital and gave Mrs. Mu a few hard slaps on her face, completely ignoring the fact that she was injured.

“Are you fit to be her mother? Are you!?! Since she could have been rescued first, why didn’t you let her be rescued!?!”

“I wanted to live too.”

“Shut up!” Mr. Mu hit her again. No one dared to stop him, and Mrs. Mu dared not retort either, for she knew that she was at fault.

The incident had made it onto the news, and the Mu family was utterly disgraced.

Mrs. Mu’s actions caused an uproar amongst netizens. There were some who castigated her for being heartless and lacking in maternal love because she should have saved her daughter first. However, there were also some who felt that it was only right for Mrs. Mu to be rescued first since it was a daughter’s duty to let her mother be saved first. There were also some who thought that Mrs. Mu had done the right thing because every man for himself!

There were all sorts of opinions online, none of which Fan Shixin bothered reading.

He seemed to have lost his soul during the explosion.

He cooped himself up in the room and drowned his sorrows in alcohol. After Fan Shixin had kept it up for a week, Jin Qingyan decided to intervene.

Jin Qingyan was flabbergasted at the sight of Fan Shixin. He was worlds apart from what he used to be.

His beard had grown out and he reeked of alcohol.

He had lost a great ton of weight too.

He was completely out of sorts.

“Are you still alive?”

“Yes, I am.”

“Your Young Madam wanted to perform a ritual for her but her mother had forgotten her birth timing. Hence, the ritual could not be performed. She may be gone now but you still have to continue living, don’t you? Rest up for a period of time, but stop chugging so much alcohol. I believe Ms. Mu wouldn’t want to see you this way. You’ve done your best. Your Young Madam said that one’s lifespan is all destined. Even if one’s fate has been altered, the scores will be settled sooner or later. If she’s destined to die, nothing can change it.”

Fan Shixin said in melancholy, “It happened all too sudden. I can’t accept it.”

Jin Qingyan patted him on the shoulder and said, “I understand how you feel right now. I’ll allow you to mourn and be sad, but I won’t allow you to give up on yourself and continue like this forever. By the way, the Mu family has returned the betrothal gifts and I’ve placed them in your apartment.”

“Okay, got it.”

——

Mu Qixing still could not accept the truth, even after a week. She could not believe that something so tragic had happened to Mu Wansheng.

Although she barely knew Mu Wansheng, she’d found her to be a nice and kind person.
