At the hospital.
Mo Huiling screamed and looked at Gu Jingze begrudgingly, “Jingze, it’s so painful. Can you see if my wound got bigger?”
Gu Jingze bent down and looked. It was only a small abrasion, so he said to her, “It’s not that big. You don’t have to be so scared.”
Mo Huiling pouted, “What if it leaves a scar? Look. My leg does not have a single scar on it. If this is going to leave a scar, I’ll definitely hate that dreadful Lin Che to death.”
“Enough. It’s just an abrasion. It won’t leave a big scar,” he said. “Lin Che did not do it on purpose, so you shouldn’t keep hating her.”
“You just decided for yourself that she’s innocent. I’m telling you that she did it on purpose. Otherwise, why did she have to knock me down when she could have knocked some other person?”
Gu Jingze knew that he could not get through to her, so he did not comment further. He only told her, “Watch the television for a while and don’t let your mind wander anymore.”
Gu Jingze handed the remote to her and looked at the time on his wrist. It had already been some time, but there was no news of Lin Che.
That stupid girl. Where could she have gone?
Mo Huiling aimlessly took the remote and started browsing the channels.
While she was browsing, urgent news suddenly came on screen.
“We just got news of a Porsche hanging on the bridge after an accident. Traffic has been blocked until now and we still do not know about the status of the people inside. We hear that it’s a young female driving alone. It is yet to be determined if it was drunk-driving. An emergency rescue operation is taking place but because of the car’s dangerous position, the rescuers are having a hard time…”
Mo Huiling was not paying attention and wanted to switch channels, but Gu Jingze stopped her.
He looked up quietly at the television, eyes fixated on the screen.
The screen flashed an image of a yellow Porsche dangling from the bridge.
Lin Che…
Gu Jingze did not even realize that he had said her name out loud in his shock.
Mo Huiling heard Lin Che’s name and then took a closer look. It did look like the car she saw earlier.
Was Lin Che in that accident?
Mo Huiling suddenly felt happy and forgot all about the pain in her leg. She clapped her hands, feeling as if justice was served, “She deserves it. See, that is called retribution. If she hadn’t knocked me down, the heavens would not have punished her.”
Gu Jingze heard her words and looked down at her while frowning.
Mo Huiling did not notice Gu Jingze’s dark expression. She was so elated at the thought of Lin Che being in danger and on the verge of dying.
It would be great if Lin Che died now. Then, Gu Jingze would be hers again.
Mo Huiling looked up and said, “Hmph. This is called a self-defeat. How deserving.”
Gu Jingze swiped away her hand that was holding onto her own sleeve.
Mo Huiling then felt the cold way he was staring intensely at her.
Mo Huiling wondered if she had just forgotten her manners and said something wrong.
However, she did hate Lin Che and for Lin Che to get into an accident because of herself, there was nothing wrong with what she said.
“What’s wrong, Jingze?” she asked curiously.
Gu Jingze’s eyes were dark as he looked at her, “Huiling, how can you say something like that? Even if she is someone you didn’t know, it’s still a life we’re talking about; it’s still a person. A person is about to die because of an accident. How could you be happy about it? How could you say something like she deserved it? Is she really so villainous?”
“I… That’s not what I meant…” Mo Huiling said. “I’m only just saying. You know me. I speak from my mind but I didn’t mean anything bad…”
Gu Jingze was simply disappointed in her. He looked at her deeply and then looked up. His jaw was clenched so tight that it formed an obvious straight line. Then, he walked out.
“Eh, Jingze. Why are you going…” Mo Huiling huffed as she looked around inside, hatefully thinking, You really deserve it. It will be best if you just fall to your death like that. Fall and ruin your face so much that Jingze will not even look at you.
On the bridge.
At the accident site, many people were outside looking.
The captain was leisurely giving instructions, taking a bottle of water and looking strangely at the car, “Whose car is this? I’ve never seen it before.”
“This is brand new; don’t tell me it’s some big shot’s car.”
“That can’t be. We recorded every license plate to every big shot here. We would have recognized it. Perhaps it’s one from the nouveau riche. We’ve never seen this.”
Just then, someone from the outside came with new information.
“Captain, captain. It’s bad. There’s a group of people outside saying the person inside is the Gu family’s Madam. They’re asking why we haven’t rescued her.”
“Which Gu family?”
“What do you mean which? It’s our country’s Gu family!”
“Oh my God…” the captain dropped his bottle and took out his telescope to look in the direction of the accident.
“Now… Captain, what now?” the people beside asked cautiously.
“What else can we do?” the captain turned around with sudden energy. “Quick, let’s rescue her unless you want to die. Those who want to die can just wait around here. Quickly, let’s move. Whoever still wants to have a meeting, I will throw them down the bridge.”
On the outside, the reporters were chased down.
“Move along. You can’t take pictures here. No pictures allowed.”
“Eh, we were allowed to take pictures just now! Why the sudden change?” the reporters asked in a daze.
The reporters wanted details of the female driver; sensitive words like luxury cars and accidents were definitely going to attract curious people. They wanted to write a full article on it.
“In any case, no more photos are allowed and no reporting is allowed. If you publish anything, you’ll be responsible for it. Don’t say that I didn’t warn you.”
The reporters were chased away and nobody dared to play any games. They used the highest-end equipment and quickly pulled the car back.
Lin Che thought that this time, she was doomed to die. Those people were not moving because they must have thought that was no hope.
However, a group of people rushed over and pulled her out.
The captain personally went over to take a look, “Oh no, Mrs. Gu, are you hurt? Quickly bring the stretcher. Rescue her first.”
“It’s fine… I’m fine. There are just some abrasions,” Lin Che hurriedly replied.
The people outside watched strangely. It was really chaotic just now and it ended so quickly like this?
Someone said, “I heard the person inside the car is a powerful, important figure, so those people couldn’t fool around anymore and hurriedly rescued the car.”
“They even chased off the reporters and prohibited photos.”
“Yo, what kind of an important person would be so powerful that even the captain was scared into action personally?”
But the B district had so many wealthy, influential people. The captain should have gotten used to it by now. To cause such a commotion, the person must have been really powerful and not someone to be provoked.
