Online Game: Crazy Skeleton-Chapter 1735 - 1503 Hidden Crisis (Two-in-One)_2
Su Ran’s mother was influenced by the female driver’s smile, and she genuinely believed that this woman wasn’t a bad person. She kept calling her "Auntie"—where would you find such a polite child?
"Alright, consider it as if I hadn’t said anything."
Su Ran had another doubt, which was that the SUV’s features seemed to be top-notch: a panoramic sunroof, leather seats, even the cushions were made of animal fur, and two detachable tablets on the backrests. He hadn’t heard of the brand before, but judging by the luxurious appearance, it wasn’t cheap. This kind of vehicle was definitely not something a working-class family could afford. There was surely something fishy!
As for why he didn’t question it on the spot, it was because he realized that this woman was no ordinary person—her logical thinking was far superior to the average person’s. Even he had several reasons to cover up this issue, let alone her.
Fortunately, after being reminded, his mother didn’t say anything further. She just chatted intermittently with the female driver about trivial matters that could put someone to sleep.
Su Ran paid close attention to the woman’s every move, not missing even her inadvertent glances. After observing for about twenty minutes, he determined that the woman had no ill intentions towards his mother.
"Little Black, go to my mom, my hands are a bit sore."
To be safe, Su Ran sent Little Black to his mother. Even if an unexpected situation occurred, Little Black could keep things under control, leaving no need for worry.
"Little Ran, if you feel uncomfortable, you can rest for a bit. We still have a long way to go; I’ll wake you up when we arrive."
Su Ran’s mother was worried about his health, fearing that he might have an episode, which would be troublesome.
"Driver, please head to the People’s Hospital in JM Province, thank you."
Su Ran deliberately held his arm and said to his mother, "It seems like I can feel something in my arm. I can even distinguish between soreness and numbness. The People’s Hospital in JM Province is famous nationwide; there might be hope."
"Really?" 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞
His mother said in surprise, fully believing him, "This is indeed a good sign. Miss, please hurry to the People’s Hospital; I’ll even pay you extra!"
"Auntie, so you were going to JM Province for treatment. I asked earlier, but you didn’t say. Now you’re telling me yourselves, so you can’t blame me for not knowing."
The female driver’s smile remained, "Auntie, don’t worry; we’re still in the busy city area, so I can’t speed up yet. We’ll be on the highway soon, and there you can reach up to 120!"
"You young lady, it’s not easy for you, driving long distances all the time. Your spine could have issues; you need to move around a lot."
Su Ran’s mother sighed, "I’m not lying; I’ve only been on the highway a few times in my life—you could count them on your fingers. I’m not as experienced as you young folks!"
"Auntie, I don’t consider myself young. I’m already in my thirties and a mother of two."
"Really can’t tell! I thought you were a young maiden!"
...
The two women chatted about marriage and children, getting along more and more as they found common ground on these topics. Soon, they completely forgot about Su Ran in the backseat, but he did not let his guard down and discreetly checked the rearview mirror for suspicious cars following them, finding none, which made him even more suspicious.
However, he didn’t say much and continued to observe Little Black, seeing that it was in good condition, which put his mind at ease. He quietly loosened the Nutrient Barrel’s lid to avoid getting flustered in an emergency.
Unbeknownst to him, they had been driving for about half an hour and successfully merged onto the highway. The female driver stayed true to her word; as soon as they hit the highway, she seemed like a different person. The car surged forward like a wild horse, speeding down the highway, with the scenery outside zooming past, even the roadside stones blurred into a single line.
The speed was definitely more than 120!
Su Ran’s heart skipped a beat. Could it be that this woman was about to make a move?
Not only Su Ran, but even Little Black was on high alert, watching the female driver closely. Its back molars were exposed, increasing the hostility.
Thankfully, the woman didn’t have a death wish. She skillfully weaved through the traffic, showcasing her excellent driving skills, leaving the other cars far behind.
"Young lady, you should slow down. At this speed, my heart can’t take it!"
Su Ran’s mother was so frightened that her face turned pale. She clutched the handle tightly, not daring to look at the road ahead, afraid something would go wrong. After all, she hadn’t forgotten the last car accident, and another one would surely result in a fatal outcome!
"Auntie, don’t worry. There are no speed cameras here, and the traffic volume is low. Let me indulge my need for speed. Isn’t your son in a hurry to get to the hospital? This will save time!"
The female driver held the steering wheel firmly, her body leaning with the turns, showing no sign of slowing down.
Luckily, this scene didn’t last long; a speed camera appeared ahead. She immediately hit the brakes, and with a screeching sound, the car slowed down to below 120 just in time as they approached the camera.
"Phew."
Su Ran’s mother’s heart finally settled. She wiped the cold sweat from her forehead, saying with lingering fear, "Next time, I’m not getting in your car; it’s too nerve-wracking!"
"Auntie, nothing happened, right? There are lots of cameras ahead, so I can’t speed even if I wanted to. I don’t want my license revoked, so you can relax."
