After Reborn, I Become a Billionaire novel Chapter 144

Chapter 144 Out of Danger

A scream of Hannah pierced the air. A car was closing in, which was about to run into theirs.
At the last second, Jimmy made a sharp turn and swerved to the left to avoid the collision. They thought it was a blind alley, but a lane appeared midway.
The narrow lane was supposed to be where the night market was. Many stalls had already closed, but there were still a few here and there. People were frightened by the sudden sound of the engine and hurried to the side.
Stalls left in the alley were smashed all over the place.
In the bumpy car, countless impact sounds sounded on the glass.
Hannah didn't dare to let up at all.
She had thought she was going to die, and now there was a chance of survival, but she could not feel grateful.
She clutched Jimmy's seat so tightly and looked at the messy night market alley.
Hannah turned to glance at the approaching car behind.
She wondered if she was going to die again at Charles' hands.
Gritting her teeth to keep calm, Hannah told herself that since she finally had a chance to live once again, Fate was with her. She would not give up her life before anything was done.
That was not all. She was not gonna die here, for she swore to kill Charles with a thousand little cuts.
They finally drove out of the alley.
Jimmy picked a direction randomly and continued to drive fast.
Oscar's voice suddenly came from the phone. "Jimmy, there is a big black truck parked 200 meters in front of you. You need to estimate the speed of the truck and make sure that while you're successfully driving in, the car behind you is stopped."
"Copy that." Jimmy gave quick reply.
Hannah felt a little excited at that moment.
She was worried that Oscar might not be able to find them accurately as Jimmy was driving so unreasonably to avoid the cars. But it just took him five minutes to make all the arrangements.
Hannah saw a black truck stopped by an intersection not far away.
The truck was so long that it could block the entire intersection.
At this moment, the truck was also driving in the same direction as them.
Those cars stuck right behind them. According to Oscar's idea, Jimmy needed to pass the crossroad at the point when the truck was about to cross it. Otherwise, if Jimmy missed the best timing and passed the junction a little bit earlier than as expected, the cars chasing them would follow up and nothing would change. It was hard to time it right.
Sweat on the forehead dripping down, Hannah did not dare to look away from Jimmy's hands on the steering wheel, which seemed to hold it tighter.
Hannah was very clear that this was the key to whether they can survive tonight.
She was so nervous that her palms were sweaty as well.
Jimmy slowed down a bit. Hannah felt some increasing tension again, for she saw those cars were still very close to them.
Because of Jimmy's deceleration, the car behind suddenly hit their car.
At the moment, Hannah restrained her scream. She knew that Jimmy needed all his energy to drive now and she didn't want to distract him.
Then it continued to hit their car several times.
Clearly Jimmy slowed down to control the speed of the cars behind them, forcing them to slow down on impact.
Hannah was holding tight the back of the driver's seat, trying to keep herself stable.
She tried desperately to control herself and make no sound even though the seat belt was hurting her.
"Mrs Wells, watch out!" Jimmy shouted.
Hannah took a deep breath.
Jimmy suddenly sped up and the car went straight out at top speed.
Hannah looked at the truck in front of them getting closer. The hulking truck seemed about to collide with them.
She closed her eyes and tried not to see this cruel scene.
Then, a deafening noise of car crashes traveled all over the avenues.
Anyone hearing it would be horrified.
Hannah finally came to her senses after a long time.
She turned her head blank;y and witnessed the entire process of vehicle impacts left behind.
The front of the truck had been broken off by several cars and rolled to the ground.
The rest was smashed to pieces.
And the cars that crashed into it also broke into pieces. The guys inside the cars were possibly in great danger.
Hannah's heart was still beating fast. After all, they were this close to death.
She tried to calm down, and so did Jimmy.
It turned out that Jimmy was not always calm. At this moment, she saw a perceivable trace of panic on his face.
He took a deep breath and the car slowed down gradually. Then he said to the phone, "Mr Wells, I passed the intersection and the cars behind us were stopped by the truck. I'll take Mrs Wells back now..."
"Jimmy!" Hannah screamed suddenly and Jimmy's body tightened. They saw a car from nowhere running into them from the front.
Showing up at a moment when they all let down their guard, it made them even have no time to react..
Jimmy wanted to step on the accelerator to avoid it, but it was too late.
The car was going straight at them at an intimidating speed.
"Hands on your head now!" Jimmy shouted.
He knew he couldn't avoid it. The only way that would cause the least damage to them was to caught the impact while bracing themselves against the hit.
When the words fell, both of them held his head tightly.
Then there was another loud noise of crashing, ringing in their ears.
After a long time, it became as silent as it had been before the accident happened.
At the moment, Hannah was in a vague awareness in the dark, with a feeling that she had lived through a century again.
She looked up and saw that the car that was about to hit them had suddenly stopped about a tenth of a meter away from them. It had been badly hit by another car whose front was completely deformed.
