A man trying to seduce the police captain: Captain Lu, you're doomed!

Chapter 173 Anger and heartache intertwined, almost tearing her apart.

The carriage was deathly silent, save for the two people's rapid, heavy breathing.

Lu Chenyuan and Su Wan held each other tightly, their bodies trembling slightly.

It wasn't out of fear, but out of gratitude for surviving the ordeal.

The truck driver was clearly taken aback by this sudden turn of events.

He stood frozen in the driver's seat for a long while before he finally came to his senses.

Anger surged into his heart instantly.

He suddenly pushed open the car door, rushed into the rain, and ran to Lu Chenyuan's car.

He raised his hand and pounded on the car window, shouting angrily.

The sound was loud and clear, penetrating the sound of the pouring rain and entering the carriage clearly.

Through the shattered car window, Lu Chenyuan and Su Wan simultaneously heard the truck driver's curses.

The voice was filled with anger and dissatisfaction.

"Damn it! Are you two out of your minds?!"

The truck driver pounded on the windows and roared angrily.

"With the rain pouring down, driving this fast on the ring road, are you guys sick?! Are you insane?!"

"Do you know what? If I hadn't braked, you two would have been turned into mincemeat by now! I wouldn't have had to pay much compensation anyway, since the company had full insurance coverage. You deserved to die!"

"You guys are all out of your minds, causing trouble for no reason, wasting my time, and almost killing me, you..."

The insults that followed became increasingly offensive and unbearable, filled with an outpouring of anger, echoing for a long time in the rain.

But Lu Chenyuan and Su Wan, who were in the carriage, hugged each other tightly and suddenly laughed at the harsh cursing.

She laughed softly, weakly, and as she laughed, tears welled up in her eyes again.

Those tears contained both the relief of surviving a disaster and the pent-up resentment that had been building up in their hearts for so long.

There is the joy of something lost and found again, and the deep affection that cannot be dissolved in each other's eyes.

Lu Chenyuan slowly raised his hand and hugged Su Wan tightly, with such force that it seemed he wanted to meld her into his very bones. In her ear, he soothed her again and again in a hoarse yet gentle voice.

"It's alright, Wanwan, it's alright. We've all survived. Don't be afraid. I'm here. I'll never let you get hurt again."

He lowered his head and gently placed a tender and devout kiss on her wet forehead.

That kiss carried his guilt, his heartache, his cherishing, and his unwavering determination for life.

After comforting Su Wan in his arms, he slowly released her and carefully wiped away the tears and rain from her face.

Her eyes were so gentle they could melt your heart, and she spoke softly.

"Wanwan, stay in the car and don't get out. I'm going to apologize to him and I'll be right back."

After saying that, he pushed open the car door, stepped into the cold rain, and walked towards the truck driver.

His face showed no impatience, only deep apology. He bowed deeply to the truck driver, his tone sincere and respectful.

"I'm so sorry, sir. We were too impulsive and drove too fast. We almost hit you and wasted your time. I'm really sorry."

He apologized while taking his phone out of his pocket, without mentioning the insurance.

"Master, I'm sorry to have caused you so much trouble. Please take out your phone and I'll transfer 20,000 yuan to you as compensation for the time you've wasted. I also ask that you bear with me a little longer."

The truck driver's cursing stopped abruptly. He stood frozen in place, his fist still in mid-air, his angry expression instantly turning into astonishment.

He took out his phone and showed his payment QR code.

Lu Chenyuan immediately transferred the money to him, then took out two cartons of high-end cigarettes and two bottles of expensive liquor from the trunk and handed them to him without saying a word.

"Please accept this as a small token of our appreciation. We hope you won't mind."

Lu Chenyuan's voice was still hoarse, weak from a lingering high fever, but there was no hint of perfunctoriness.

The truck driver was completely stunned. His eyes widened, the curses he was about to utter were swallowed back down his throat, and he even forgot to close the corners of his mouth.

Looking at the cigarettes and alcohol offered to him, and then at Lu Chenyuan, who was soaking wet, with a handprint on his face, but whose eyes were full of tenderness.

Looking again at Su Wan in the car, whose eyes were red and whose face was ashen, he was momentarily speechless.

The overwhelming anger from before seemed to have vanished in the wake of this sudden action, leaving only confusion and bewilderment.

He hesitated before taking the cigarettes and alcohol, holding them in his arms, and then glanced at the two of them suspiciously.

One was covered in wounds, with tears in his eyes but a gentle smile.

One of them was fuming, with red eyes, soaked in sweat but unable to hide his worry.

The way these two looked was abnormal; they seemed like two lunatics driven to the extreme.

He simply couldn't understand it or figure it out.

In the end, he didn't say anything more, mumbled a couple of indistinct words, turned around, quickly climbed onto the truck, started the engine, and drove away from the scene with a roar. The taillights quickly disappeared into the gradually diminishing rain.

Until the sound of the truck completely faded away and there was no trace of it left.

Lu Chenyuan then got back into the car and drove it to a safe place.

The rain gradually subsided, and the loud patter turned into a soft patter.

It landed on the ground, splashing up tiny droplets of water.

The air was filled with the fresh scent of earth after the rain, but it couldn't suppress the anger and heartache surging in Su Wan's heart.

She finally calmed down completely, but after the calm came an even more turbulent surge of emotions—

The terrifying scene just now, the near-death experience, and the undisguised tenderness and dependence in his eyes now felt like countless needles piercing her heart.

Anger and heartache intertwined, almost tearing her apart.

Before Lu Chenyuan could speak, Su Wan suddenly raised her hand and slapped him hard across the face with all her might.

"Snapped!"

The crisp sound of a slap, piercing the pattering rain, shattered the surrounding tranquility.

Lu Chenyuan's head was slapped to one side, and a clear five-finger mark instantly appeared on his cheek, forming a stark contrast with his pale face and scarlet eyes.

His lip seemed to have been slapped open, and a faint taste of blood slowly spread in his mouth.

But he wasn't angry, not even a little bit displeased. Instead, he slowly turned his head, his eyes filled with hot tears.

He smiled at Su Wan, a smile that contained guilt, heartache, the ecstatic joy of regaining what was lost, and a hint of sweetness at being cared for by her.

His eyes were so tender they almost seemed to drip with tears, like a child who had done something wrong but was willing to be punished.

"madman."

Su Wan's voice was so hoarse that every word seemed to be squeezed out from between her teeth.

Anger surged in his eyes, but his eyes were terribly red, and tears were welling up inside.

She bit her lower lip hard to keep the tears from falling.

She was angry at his impulsiveness, his stubbornness, and his disregard for his own life.

But I felt even more sorry for his grievances, his despair, and the clear handprint on his face.

"Yes, I'm crazy."

Lu Chenyuan immediately agreed, his voice hoarse and thick with nasal tone.

"I'm willing to be a madman for the rest of my life, just for you."

His tone offered no explanation, only complete obedience and devotion.

It was as if being slapped by her was a pleasure, a proof that she cared about me.

"ill."

Su Wan cursed again, but the anger in her voice subsided, replaced by an undisguised sob.

"Yes, I'm sick."

Lu Chenyuan still didn't deny it, and obediently agreed again, his smile deepening and becoming even gentler.

He could no longer restrain himself, and suddenly took a step forward, reaching out to pull Su Wan into his arms.

I want to hold her tightly, and I want to kiss her with all my might!

He kissed the girl who was willing to die with him, who was willing to get angry for him, and who was heartbroken for him.

He kissed the love he held dear in his heart, the one he had finally waited for.

But Su Wan was still angry and wouldn't let him have his way.

Just as his hand was about to touch her, she suddenly pushed him away.

The force was so great that Lu Chenyuan, who was already weak from a high fever, staggered back two steps.

Before he could regain his footing, Su Wan took another step forward, reached out, and without hesitation pulled his phone out of his soaked pocket.

Su Wan unlocked her phone, her fingertips trembling slightly.

He quickly swiped across the screen to find the most recent call log and dialed Xiao Li's number.

The call was quickly connected, and Xiao Li's slightly puzzled voice came through the receiver.

"Captain Lu?"

"Hello, is this Xiao Li?"

Su Wan tried her best to keep her voice calm, but she couldn't hide a hint of hoarseness and urgency.

A sliver of anger still lingered.

"I'll have Lu Chenyuan send you his location. Come over here right away and help your Captain Lu drive."

"He's very emotionally unstable right now, he's acting like a madman, and he can't drive at all."

"Oh? Oh, okay! Okay! I'll be right there!"

Xiao Li was startled, and his tone instantly became tense.

He knew Lu Chenyuan too well; he was always calm and composed. For Su Wan to say something so insane, something serious must have happened.

Without the slightest hesitation, he immediately agreed, his tone filled with urgency.

"Miss Su, don't worry, I'll be there soon!"
