Chapter 50: Staged Accident
"Impossible, with Du Dahai’s personality, he would definitely cause trouble for me!"
"Even if Du Dahai wants to cause you trouble, he has to figure out the background of Lin Tian, the model student first!" Lin Tian said with a chuckle, "Otherwise, he wouldn’t dare easily go against you!"
"How do you know?" Bai Shishi looked at Lin Tian, puzzled.
"Just because my act just now was flawless, it totally scared him!"
Lin Tian didn’t forget to remind, "What we need to do now is protect Lin Tian’s identity as the model student. As long as Du Dahai can’t find out, he won’t easily go against you, and don’t come off too weak; when talking or acting, you must be firm with him!"
"I still need a reason to convince me!" Bai Shishi doubted whether it was right to follow Lin Tian’s advice!
"The higher the status, the more afraid they are of losing everything!" Lin Tian was seemingly acting, but actually, he was considering Du Dahai’s mindset.
I’m just a student, fearless, at worst, we both go down together.
But for someone like Du Dahai, with identity and status, he cherishes everything he has and his wealth, so he won’t take risks.
"Young people with no attachments aren’t afraid to die, but once you have money, you become attached... that’s the truth!" Lin Tian currently has no attachments and is thus fearless!
"I understand!" Bai Shishi nodded thoughtfully, initially thinking Lin Tian was bragging, but realized that every word he said was deliberate, guessing the other’s psychology.
"Ring ring~!" Bai Shishi’s phone rang again, and the caller was none other than Du Dahai.
"Stay firm, don’t be afraid of him!" Lin Tian glanced at the screen and didn’t forget to remind.
"Mr. Du, why are you calling me this late?" Bai Shishi’s attitude took a complete turn.
"Miss Bai, I believe this was a misunderstanding!" Du Dahai explained with a forced smile.
"A misunderstanding? Then if I gather some friends to visit Longwei Tea House, is that also a misunderstanding?" Bai Shishi said nervously and glanced at Lin Tian, after seeing his thumbs up, she playfully stuck out her tongue.
"Miss Bai, as a gesture of apology, I’d like to invite you to dinner, and perhaps have Mr. Lin join us?" Du Dahai tactfully shifted the topic to Lin Tian.
"No need, Mr. Lin isn’t someone you can casually invite. If there’s nothing else, I’m going to sleep!"
"Miss Bai~ I’ll send a box of top-quality seafood from Zhonghai City tomorrow as an apology!" After hanging up the phone, Du Dahai felt even more restless.
"Bai Shishi’s tone of voice changed directly, it seems this model student Lin Tian is truly extraordinary..." In the dark, Du Dahai pondered quietly.
"How did I do?" After hanging up the phone, Bai Shishi giggled as she asked Lin Tian.
"I’ll give you 88 points!"
"Why not a perfect score?" Bai Shishi flashed her little tiger teeth.
"I’ll give you the remaining in the form of 66..."
"You~ always so glib!" Bai Shishi playfully scolded.
"No way! I’m just telling the truth, if telling the truth is a mistake, I’d rather continue the mistake!" Lin Tian yawned; unknowingly, it was nearly midnight.
"Where are you going, I’ll drop you back!" Bai Shishi felt eased after the issue was resolved and was somewhat sleepy.
"I really don’t know where to go!" Lin Tian looked quite embarrassed.
"What? You don’t have a place to stay?" Bai Shishi speculated.
"Yeah, used to stay at school, but got expelled today, so I don’t know where to sleep!" Lin Tian scratched his head awkwardly.
"Since you have no place to sleep, I’ll graciously take you in!" Bai Shishi teased with a mischievous smile.
"Graciously..." Lin Tian was completely speechless.
"Let’s go!" She slammed the gas pedal, and the Mercedes S400L sped down the street under the streetlights.
The car was initially steady on the road, with Lin Tian’s eyelids drooping as he was about to fall asleep.
Suddenly, Lin Tian felt his body lurch forward, the sound of tires screeching on asphalt echoed in his ears, jarring, instantly eliminating any drowsiness.
"What’s going on?" Lin Tian trembled all over, wide awake.
"Someone’s staging an accident!" Bai Shishi seemed nervous; if not for timely braking, it could have been fatal.
It’s fortunate that the Mercedes had reliable brakes, stopping just in time, but even so, the middle-aged man in front still charged at the windshield.
The windshield, initially intact, shattered into countless pieces.
"Staging an accident?" Lin Tian opened his eyes to see the middle-aged man sprawled in front of the car, wondering what happened during his nap.
Inside the car, Bai Shishi and Lin Tian were bewildered by the situation as the man on the ground cried out painfully, "Help~ someone hit me with a car!"
With the man’s cries, a middle-aged woman on the roadside sat weeping, "Rich people just drive into people, oh dear~ you can’t die, what will I do with the kids if you die? Who will take care of our four kids?"
Although it’s nighttime, Kanyue City’s nightlife was still lively, with pedestrians on the sidewalks.
Seeing the scene, many stopped to watch, pointing and gossiping.
"Female drivers these days are terrifying, driving luxury cars too!"
"Ha~ you don’t know, female drivers can drive a car up a tree!"
"Up a tree? They could flip a car on a spacious road; it’s safer to stay away!"
"Driving a Mercedes worth over a million, who cares about a life~ hit whoever you want to hit!"
"Cherish life, stay away from female drivers!"
The rising chatter pierced through the car windows into Bai Shishi and Lin Tian’s ears, making them both frown.
"You tell me, what will you do with my husband now that you’ve hit him?" Seeing everyone pointing fingers at the female driver, the middle-aged woman cried and shouted with tears.
"Alright, we better get off and deal with this!" Bai Shishi looked disgusted at the man lying in front of the car; Lin Tian sighed and got out first.
"It’s only fair to pay after hitting someone!" Someone in the crowd shouted, directing the blame towards Bai Shishi.
"Everyone, please don’t speak carelessly; I didn’t crash into anyone, he ran onto my car, head first into the windshield!" Bai Shishi explained loudly after getting out.
"Tsk tsk~ you hit her husband and now you’re passing the blame? Who would be so foolish to risk their life in a staged accident?" A sneaky young man in the crowd shouted loudly.
"Well said~ my husband and I were trying to cross the street; you drove onto the sidewalk, no escape, in your wealthy eyes, our poor lives mean nothing!" The middle-aged woman yelled, crying.
