Su Changhe helped Yue Chongyang get admitted into the hospital and returned to his office . He felt sorry for Yue Chongyang and Lu Xiaomei, who used to be a happy couple .
That was life . Once people had one step wrong, it could be hard for them to go back .
It had started to get dark outside . The night was bustling .
“Mom, where is Dad going?” a young girl asked .
“I don’t know, probably traveling for work,” Lu Xiaomei said gently to her daughter .
She used to have a happy family . Now, it was breaking into pieces . Her daughter was affected the most by it . The only thing she could do was minimize the negative impact on her daughter .
“Aye!” Lu Xiaomei sighed .
“Mom, what’s on your mind?” her daughter asked .
“Nothing, let’s have dinner,” Lu Xiaomei said .
It was very cold in Zhu .
“Hey, what’s wrong with Baozhan? I called him numerous times . I hope nothing bad happened to him,” a young woman said .
“What could possibly happen to him?” a young man asked .
“Maybe we should check on him at his place . We’ll be in trouble if anything happens to him,” the young woman said .
The young man agreed . The two of them drove to their friend’s house . They had been friends since the beginning of middle school and stayed in the same school until college . They had been able to stay close during college, which they all had just graduated from .
They were happy they could now spend more time together . They never expected that after going to a pub together they would become drug addicts or that drugs would be so easily available in the small town where they lived . They had regrets, but it was too late . They thought the people who offered others drugs deserved the death penalty .
They soon arrived at their friend’s apartment . They went up the stairs and knocked on the door . A middle-aged woman opened the door .
“Hello, Ma’am,” the young woman said, who looked quite cute .
“It’s you,” the older woman said .

The two young people didn’t see the familiar smiling face on their friend’s mother . She looked stern and unhappy . They had interrupted her nap . They had never seen her act like this .
“Ma’am, is Baozhan at home?” the girl asked .
“No, he’s not at home,” Baozhan’s mother replied .
“Where has he gone? We tried to call him, but he didn’t answer,” the girl said .
“He has gone to his grandma’s and will stay there for some time,” Baozhan’s mother replied .
“Oh, I see . Sorry to disturb you, Ma’am . See you later,” the girl said .
The two of them left with confusion .
“Hey, did you notice that Baozhan’s mom was a bit weird today?” Sun Honglin asked .
“Yes, she’s always smiling and nice to us when we visit . Even when Baozhan is not home, she usually invites us into the apartment and gives us some treats . We were apparently not welcome today,” He Xiaofeng said .
“Do you think she knows about the drugs?” Fang Honglin asked .
“What?” He Xiaofeng was surprised . “What are you talking about? Are you stupid?”
“No, Baozhan wouldn’t have told his parents,” Sun Honglin said .
“But, what if he has an episode at home?” He Xiaofeng asked .
Sun Honglin didn’t answer . The two of them got back into the car . They sat in a while before starting the engine .
“Where are we going now?” Sun Honglin asked .
“Go home,” He Xiaofeng said .
“Mom, did they leave?” Du Baozhan asked as he walked out of his bedroom .
“Yes,” his mother replied .
“Stop hanging out with them,” his father said .
“Okay, Dad . Are you going to tell their families about the drugs?” Du Baozhan asked in low voice .

“Go back to your room,” his father said grumpily .
Du Baozhan said no more and returned to his bedroom .
“Darling, Baozhan reminded me . We are friendly with Honglin and Xiaofeng’s family . I know you are upset, but we still have to socialize with them from time to time . Maybe you should give them a call . I don’t want those two kids to be in trouble anymore,” Du Baozhan’s mother said .
After thinking for a while, he grabbed his phone .
A car was speeding down the road . Sun Honglin was driving .
“Oh!”
Sun Honglin suddenly shivered . He was overwhelmed with an uncomfortable feeling .
No!
His heart jolted . He knew he was about to have a withdrawal, and he was still driving .
“What’s happening to you, Honglin? Watch out for the pedestrians!” He Xiaofeng shouted from the front passenger’s seat . She had noticed something was not right with Sun Honglin .
He grabbed the steering wheel tightly like he was grabbing the most precious treasure . His body was shaking . His eyes were wide open but looked mindless .
Oh, No!
She also know what was happening to him and panicked . They were on a main road going nearly 45 miles per hour, and he was accelerating .
“Slow down! pull over!” He Xiaofeng shouted .
Sun Honglin wanted to slow down and pull over . However, he couldn’t control himself . His body was completely out of control .
Snap!
Their car scratched another car .
“Shit! Are you blind! Do you know how to drive?” The driver of the car was terrified, looking at Sun Honglin’s car running zig-zag ahead . “Drunk driving? Stupid man!”
Snap! He Xiaofeng slapped Sun Honglin’s face .
“Sun Honglin, wake up!” she shouted .

“Ahhh!”
Sun Honglin was still experiencing double vision . He felt awful .
“No, I can’t stand it anymore . I have to stop somewhere . I need my drugs,” Sun Honglin said .
“There’s someone in front!” He Xiaofeng screamed .
Sun Honglin swerved . The car went straight into the green belt in high speed . It came out of the green belt and hit the wall next to the road with a big bang!
All the airbags in the car popped out . The two youngsters in the car went head over heels .
“Ouch! Ahhh!”
They opened the car door to get out of the car and then tumbled forward .
A person passing by called the police .
“I’m so dizzy! I can’t walk anymore!”
Sun Honglin fell onto the ground after a few steps . He was short of breath and shaking badly . He took a small pack of powder out of his pocket and teared it up . He stuffed the powder into his mouth . Part of the powder was blown to the ground .
The police arrived quickly, but the two youngsters were already gone .
“What happened?”
Some witnesses hadn’t left the scene . They gave a vivid description of what had happened to the police .
Drunk driving? The policemen wondered . So they’ve escaped?
While the police was dealing with the accident, something surprising happened . A young man and woman came to admit that they were responsible for the accident .
“I picked up a phone call when I was driving, and then this accident happened,” Sun Honglin said .
“Using a mobile phone while driving?” the police officer asked .
“I’m sorry . I know what I’ve done was wrong,” Sun Honglin said .
A traffic officer did an alcohol test on Sun Honglin and He Xiaofeng to check if they had been drinking . He let them go after completing a routine interview . Although they were involved in a traffic accident, they didn’t hurt anyone, which was lucky enough .
“These two youngsters seem to be very calm,” a witness said .
“Yes, they are,” another witness said .
“Look, all the airbags have popped out, but they don’t seem to get injured,” the first witness said .
“It’s none of our business anyway . They’ve admitted what they’ve done, and no one was hurt,” the other witness said .
Sometime later, in an apartment in the city, a young man knelt down on the ground . His face was swelling after being slapped by his father .
“Dad, I’m sorry,” the young man said .
“You bastard!” His father, a strong middle-aged man was furious . He kicked his son in the chest .
He wouldn’t have known that his son had been taking drugs if Du Baozhan’s father hadn’t called him . Coincidentally, his son had an accident when he called him .
“I give you money to buy whatever you want, but you end up taking drugs! I should beat you to death!” Sun Honglin’s father was increasingly angry .
A high-pitched voice suddenly said, “What are you doing, Sun Dacheng?” A good-looking middle-aged woman came into the apartment .
“Are you crazy?” the woman shouted .
“Ask your son what he has been doing?” Sun Dacheng said .
“Honglin, don’t be afraid . Tell mommy what have you been doing?” the middle-aged woman murmured .
“Mom, I’m sorry . I’ve been taking drugs,” Sun Honglin said with tears .
“What?” The woman shivered and almost fell onto the ground . “Oh my god! How could you take drugs!”
The same thing was happening in He Xiaofeng’s home .
“How could a girl like you end up becoming a drug addict? Did Sun Honglin and Du Baozhan offer you the drugs?” He Xiaofeng’s father, a chunky and bold middle-aged man, asked with a fierce look on his face . He had crushed the glass coffee table after he had spoken to Du Baozhan’s father on the phone . However, he loved his daughter very much .
