Heartstrings on Fire (Agnes and Jared)
Chapter 688

Hammer knew his odds of getting away were slim. If he got caught by the police, it would be a kidnapping charge. But Hammer decided to risk it all.

With a sudden hard brake in the middle of the road, Hammer twisted his wheel, reversing his direction.

Jared's car was right behind Hammer's, and the tunnel was narrow.

It was a single lane.

The cars that were originally behind Hammer ended up colliding, causing a traffic jam at the tunnel entrance.

The police cars at the tunnel entrance were also blocked.

Inside the tunnel was chaos, but Hammer, against all the odds, managed to break free.

Jared watched as Hammer's car came barreling towards him in the opposite direction.

Hammer and Jared were in the same lane, the two cars were rapidly closing in on each other.

Now, there were only two possibilities.

One was for one of them to brake, pulling over to let the other pass.

The other was a head-on collision, which would result in a fatal crash.

But if Jared hit the brakes, Hammer would charge right out of the tunnel and escape.

He was driving in the wrong direction, and the tunnel entrance had a feeder road.

Once Hammer got out there and merged into traffic, he'd be almost impossible to track.

Especially since his reckless driving had already caused big traffic jam.

As soon as the tunnel entrance got clogged, he could make his escape.

But if Hammer stopped, it would be as if he was admitting guilt.

Now it was pretty much a gamble on their courage, the stakes were their own lives.

Hammer and Jared locked eyes.

Hammer's face was grim, like a man with nothing to lose. But Jared was incredibly calm.

Jared didn't even touch the brakes.

In fact, when they were closest, he even stepped on the gas to accelerate.

It was a psychological warfare, either surrender first, or risk mutual destruction.

When the cars were almost two yards apart, it was ultimately Hammer who chickened out.

He turned the wheel and hit the brakes, and Hammer's car crashed into the side of the tunnel.

At this moment, the cars behind also stopped, the flow of traffic in the tunnel was paralyzed. Jared also quickly stopped, and he got out.

The police ran in.

Agnes was indeed unconscious in the back seat, Jared called to her, but she didn't wake up.

He pulled Hammer out of the car, "You bastard, what did you do to her?"

The police had already restrained Hammer. But Hammer refused to speak.

Jared didn't have time to question him, he immediately called for an ambulance.

But the tunnel was jam-packed, and the ambulance couldn't get in.

Jared didn't hesitate. He picked up Agnes and started running towards the tunnel exit.

After several miles, he finally reached the end of the tunnel.

The ambulance was waiting outside.

When Agnes woke up, she had a splitting headache, and she was groggy and dizzy.

The smell of disinfectant filled the air.

She saw white walls and doctors moving around her.

When she woke up, everyone gathered around.

Agnes thought she heard someone calling her name.

The voice was familiar. It sounded like Jared.

Rubbing her head, she gradually regained consciousness.

Jared's anxious face appeared in front of her, "Agnes, Agnes, can you hear me? Look at me, how are you feeling? Where does it hurt?"

Jared's face was filled with worry.

"Jared, you're being too loud," Agnes managed to say.

Hearing Agnes speak clearly and call his name, Jared finally let out a sigh of relief.
