It wasn't particularly deep, but dealing with it was still quite frightening.
“Don't tell me you disarmed them with your bare hands? What have I taught you? Haven't I taught you self-defense techniques for emergency situations? You're lucky these people had dull blades, otherwise you would have completely lost your hand,” he said.
“What do you think I wanted to do? If I hadn't charged in at that moment, what would have happened to the Driver?”
Perhaps it was her righteousness that intimidated the attacker, or maybe it was the fact that Indri Yuno, a woman, could shout with such a resounding voice, scaring the other party. There was a momentary lapse in the attacker's attention, but seeing that the shouter was even more attractive, he approached Amelia with a sleazy smile. Amelia didn't indulge him, resulting in a struggle, and in the end, she managed to disarm him, throwing the knife out of the car window.
She then threw her cell phone and wallet out, telling the attacker that there was a lot of money in the wallet for him to pick up.
Seizing the opportunity as the attacker left the car, she rushed over and drove the car away.
All of this was incredibly hazardous, and whether the drunkard had a spur-of-the-moment idea or had planned the carjacking in advance, nobody knew. Carrying a knife onto the bus was suspicious to begin with.
“Where did all the passengers go? How did the car end up ahead?” Mario Yuno asked.
“I drove the car up front and saw the fire, had no choice but to turn around and drive back, but the few remaining passengers in the car disagreed. They stood up to resist me, claiming that if we went back, the man with the knife would catch up,” she said. If she had forcefully driven back, those people would have attacked her.
After Amelia finished speaking, Mario Yuno and the others were furious.
Are these people pigs?
They don't resist a bad guy when they face one, but now they are forcing a girl to lead them to safety?
“The man had a knife, but you were in a car, he couldn't catch up, what's there to be afraid of?” Kiara also didn't understand.
“They were afraid of accomplices, saying carjackers often send one person first, and the rest follow in another car. This one scouts ahead, then the rest join in,” Indri Yuno didn't know where these people had heard such things, but after an argument, the conclusion was that Indri Yuno, along with the Driver and Child, hid. Where the others went was unknown.
Once she got out, she happened to find some Herbal Plaster to stop the bleeding. She dressed her and the Driver's wounds because there was no communication equipment, so they hid their tracks and stayed in a cave, waiting for rescue above.
“It seems the other passengers have run away, so when the bad guy caught up and saw the car still by the roadside, he must have been so infuriated that he drove it to the site of the fire,” said Mario Yuno.
No sooner had Mario Yuno finished speaking, the Driver lying there suddenly leaped up.
“My car was burned?!”
“Yes.”
“Our whole family depends on that car, what am I going to do, my car…”
“Is it insured?” Kiara asked.
“It is, but will this be covered? My family…”
The Driver had acted heroically but ended up injured and feared losing his family's livelihood. This was the reason for the coldness of the other passengers; people who are too shrewd always fear losing their interests, even more afraid of retaliation by criminals, so many people choose to stand by in the face of danger.
“I'll coordinate this and get the relevant departments to provide a statement for you. If the insurance won't cover it, our company will compensate you,” Mario Yuno said.
The Driver covered his face and cried, not really believing what Mario Yuno was saying; he didn't know what Yuno did and thought these were just empty official words.
In fact, Mario Yuno really did it. The driver was later recognized as a Good Samaritan and rewarded by the city. Subsequently, Mario Yuno, on behalf of Mrs. Yuno, gave him a bonus. After the criminal was brought to justice and ordered to pay compensation, the good deed didn't end up disheartening the good man, but that's a story for another time.
After they found the person, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Kiara stayed behind to provide psychological therapy for Indri Yuno, the little girl, and the driver, while Mario Yuno led the team back into the tense work of fighting the fire.
The little girl was shivering from fright, the investigative team also arrived to understand the situation, and journalists showed up as well. The story of a big star bravely fighting against a villain was an absolute focus of attention. A swarm of journalists buzzed in, infuriating the dark-faced Zeke Sean to the point of chasing them off with curses.
Kiara sat in the car with Indri Yuno, watching Zeke Sean lash out at the people, while Indri Yuno thought about getting out of the car.
“He's never lost his temper like this. He's usually very smooth, so why would he suddenly decide to offend the media?”
Kiara tugged at her, “Don't go out–can't you see that he's actually protecting you? For a smooth person to be so agitated that he forgets his disguise shows there's something in his heart more important than being slick.”
These words, which Indri Yuno usually didn't like to hear, felt particularly comforting at that moment. Looking through the glass at Zeke Sean, her eyes softened a lot.
“You didn't see his expression when he first arrived, that look of utter despair made me have no doubts that, should anything serious happen to you, he could, like Invincible East, rush into a sea of flames.”
Amelia was quite moved by her words at first, but burst into laughter upon hearing the last part. Invincible East unwittingly intruded into the conversation.
Kiara thought to herself that she had finally made up for years of freeloading off their Hot Pot. This assist was good–if Zeke Sean couldn't win over Amelia after this, it would be his own fault.
She knew better than to say too much and risk having the opposite effect. Kiara focused on treating the rescued little girl, while Indri Yuno kept looking outside.
The journalists, unwilling to give up on such a big story, insisted on coming over. Zeke Sean got so angry that he pointed at one of them and started to curse loudly; it seemed they would cause him to lash out if they didn't leave soon.
“Kiara, I'll do my therapy when I get back.”
“Hmm.”
“I mean… about that.” She had stayed still for too long. Maybe it was time to step out. Indri Yuno opened the car door and stepped out decisively.
Kiara smiled approvingly, “I know.”
The knots in her heart left from her youth, Amelia was finally willing to confront them. This incident had fulfilled Zeke Sean's long-held secret wish. Though no one knew what the future held, at least Indri Yuno was willing to move forward, and that was a good thing.
“Are all of you sticking around like a 'Dog skin herbal plaster' because you find it amusing?”
When Amelia stepped out, what she heard was Zeke Sean swearing at the journalists, who were also cursing back. They became even more agitated when they saw Indri Yuno appear, like chickens bloodied in a fight and uncontrollable.
At that moment, everyone was busy with firefighting, and there was no one to keep order. The situation was starting to get out of control.
Zeke Sean saw her come down and became anxious.
“What are you doing down here? Get back in the car!”
Indri Yuno shook her head at him and said with a smile, “It's okay, I'll handle it.”
She had more experience in dealing with the media.
“Everyone, please calm down and listen to me.”
