I just broke up with my boyfriend and then I transmigrated into the world of "The Lost Tomb&quo

"Tell Aning that we need to get ready to set off." Ling Xiao instructed Hei Xiazi as he walked to the car where Chen Yunjin was. Hei Xiazi then left. As for whether Aning and the others' car was repaired or not, that was not his concern. In short, if the young master said to set off, they would have to move forward, even if it meant walking.

"Long time no see, Aunt Yunjin." Ling Xiao opened the car door and sat in the driver's seat, while Xie Yuhua sat in the back.

The light inside the car was dimmer than outside, but the woman in the passenger seat, her hands bound and her mouth gagged, was still clearly visible. Her hair was disheveled, and she was no longer the docile and silent daughter-in-law she had pretended to be. Although she was now in a sorry state, her eyes were like poisoned knives, fixed on Ling Xiao outside the window, filled with resentment and bitterness that seemed to pierce through the glass. She struggled, her body slamming against the seat with dull thuds, clearly enraged to the extreme.

She knew that Ling Xiao was not so easy to manipulate; their scheme had been seen through long ago.

Chen Yunjin struggled even more violently, letting out muffled growls, meaning she wanted Ling Xiao to untie her so they could at least have a proper talk.

"Aunt Yun Jin, why waste your energy? You've already been cured, so why can't you just stay here peacefully? Why do you have to make such a fuss? But since you like to make a fuss, how about we set off this afternoon? You can just come with us obediently, that way it won't be considered breaking your promise to Wu Xie. After all, according to your message, we've already arrived at our destination, right?"

"But I don't like being taken advantage of, so I still need to get some compensation." Ling Xiao said, starting the car. Xie Yuhua saw the wink Ling Xiao gave her in the rearview mirror. Although she didn't know what he was up to, she didn't dare to ask. She just assumed he had something else to say, so she got out of the car.

After seeing Xie Yuhua get out of the car, Ling Xiao unbuckled Chen Yunjin's seatbelt and lowered his own back seat to the lowest position.

Then, the wind-blown off-road vehicle roared like a beast, its tires spinning wildly across the gravelly Gobi Desert, kicking up a cloud of murky dust. Then, like an arrow released from a bow, the vehicle slammed violently into a lone, crooked poplar tree not far ahead!

Chen Yunjin's pupils instantly shrank to the size of pinpoints! Before she could even react, her body was pressed firmly against the back of the passenger seat due to inertia, and immense fear instantly overwhelmed all her anger and resentment.

"boom!!!"

A deafening bang!

The front of the car slammed into the not-so-thick poplar tree trunk in an extremely violent manner! The immense impact caused the entire tree to shake violently, withered branches and leaves falling in a flurry. The front of the car was instantly deformed and dented, the hood twisted and lifted up, and the windshield, under the enormous stress, cracked with a "whoosh," becoming covered with spiderweb-like cracks. Although it wasn't completely shattered, it was unrecognizable.

Almost at the same instant of impact, two muffled explosions rang out: "Bang! Bang!"

The driver and passenger airbags deployed instantly! The white airbags, like inflating monsters, filled the narrow driver's cabin in a flash!

Because Ling Xiao had lay down beforehand, his body was completely below the inflating area of ​​the airbag. The huge airbag exploded above him, and most of the impact force was absorbed by the reclined seat back and the space below. He only felt a powerful shockwave and vibration passing over him, making his eardrums buzz, but his body was not directly impacted by the airbag.

However, Chen Yunjin, who was in the passenger seat, was not so lucky.

Caught completely off guard, she was strapped to the passenger seat. Although Ling Xiao had unbuckled her seatbelt, what good was it? Hei Xiazi hadn't loosened her ties at all! So she was met head-on by the rapidly deploying airbag!

"puff!"

The immense impact of the airbag slammed solidly into her face and chest! Even through the gag, a dull thud and a faint cracking sound of bones dislocating could be heard! She was shoved back into the chair by the airbag, her neck arched unnaturally, her vision went black for a moment, stars flashed before her eyes, and intense pain and a feeling of suffocation instantly overwhelmed all her nerves! The gag was pushed deep into her throat by the impact, causing her to gag painfully, as if she were dying.

The airbags began to deflate rapidly, and a pungent chemical dust smell and a faint smell of blood filled the car.

During the brief moment when the airbags deflated, Ling Xiao deftly pushed aside the airbag pressing down on him and sat up. He shook his slightly dazed head; apart from some ringing in his ears and mild nausea from the shock, he was otherwise unharmed.
