Once Upon A One Night Stand novel Chapter 275

She was surprised by his action, having no idea of what he wanted to do. "I can't move over! The space is not enough since you are there."

"No, it's okay. Move one leg in first. I'll continue to squat down." He began to urge her with an attentive look. "We don't have much time! Hurry up, or we'll lose the chance."

"But..."

"The car drives at a speed of 120 kilometers per hour. On the way back, there is a tunnel in the middle. Then a winding mountain road follows. If the car rushes out of that stretch of road, it will dive into the moat around the J City. We must jump out of the car before it's drowned." He spoke fast but made each word clear.

They would drive into the river and jump out of the car!

The thought of this was enough to make her scared. They were only two frail and ordinary people. If they reacted one second later, they would die in the river!

Her heart pounded, seemingly deafening her ears. She quickly analyzed the plan in her mind, only to conclude that they couldn't make it.

Seeing that she didn't move, the man narrowed his eyes and looked at her. "Miss Shu, do you believe in Mr. Meng?"

Did she?

Probably the answer was positive. If not, what was she doing now? The moment he destroyed the barbed wire, she had ruled out all other choices.

She took a deep breath. Though still in doubt, she began to move her body according to his instruction.

The car was rocketing on the road, and inside she was shifting herself inch by inch to the main driver's seat.

"Now come and grab the wheel. I have to squat lower. Obey the driving instruction." He did right away what he had said, leaving no time for her to hesitate.

They shared the space originally for one person. Because of his big stature, it took Shu Tian some time to squeeze herself in. While she steered the car, the man controlled the accelerator.

Half a minute later, she saw the tunnel, lit up by yellow lights inside. She broke out in a sweat on her back and said in a low voice, "We're going into the tunnel!"

To live or to die, the answer would come clear in minutes. Hearing her words, the man at her feet obviously became more nervous.

He gave himself to digest the information and said calmly, "Don't panic."

She didn't know what he was doing, his arm touching her leg several times. She was stiff in the seat, not daring to move, even afraid to lower her head.

Looking ahead, she reminded him anxiously, "We've already passed one-third of the tunnel. What's your next step? What do I need to do?"

He looked up at her and said in a deep voice, "I'm propping up the gas pedal so that the car can accelerate itself later. Next, I need to cut open the fuel pipe.

"Cut it open?"

"Yes, so the car will explode the moment it enters the river. The time for us to jump out of the car must be accurate." He sounded so placid as if it were a mere warning of not being late for work.

But she was scared out of her wits when the word "explode" came into her ears.

She raised her voice helplessly, her spirit collapsing. "We will die if the car explodes!"

She said so, not for herself but for the baby.
