Chapter 1928: Explanation
With Nangong Nuannuan’s explanation, what else could Sze Lingyun not know?
She had previously asked why the driver was driving so fast.
Earlier in the car, she had already advised him to slow down. Who could have guessed that the driver would say that it was not easy for them to earn money? He had to finish her trip as soon as possible, so he could get another order.
She reasoned with him and told him that even on the next job, he could not exceed the speed limit. Even more than that, he could not give up his life for money.
However, the driver had rebuked her and told her not to think that her life was so valuable. His life was also valuable! He had a wife and sick child to support. He was his family’s only breadwinner, so if he died, his family would be hopeless. Therefore, money was more important to him than her comfort.
After saying that, not only did he not slow down... He sped up! Then, the near-crash happened.
Watching the driver vomit blood and faint, Sze Lingyun cursed in her heart. He deserved it.
Because it was a major traffic accident with a four-car collision, the traffic police and the ambulance arrived very quickly.
The traffic police were angry when they heard that the taxi driver and the truck driver had been knocked unconscious by Chi Yang and Nangong Nuannuan. However, after Chi Yang showed his officer’s badge to the traffic police, all the traffic police saluted him and greeted him as ‘sir’. Even the nearby bystanders knew that this man was not an ordinary person.
All three of the perpetrators were injured. For humanitarian reasons, the three of them should have gone to the hospital first. However, Chi Yang told the police that he had been careful, so the three of them were not too hurt. Therefore, at Chi Yang’s request, the three of them went straight to the police station.
At the beginning, the two truck drivers and the taxi driver were still stubborn, especially the taxi driver who jumped eight feet high to avoid accusations.
“I said, what’s wrong with you?! If she’s a victim, am I not one too? I still have a sick daughter at home who needs me to raise her. I’m busy taking care of my family. Why would I want to kill someone? Why would I give up my own life for that? What right do you have to accuse me of such a thing? After you kicked me and injured me, not only did you not send me to the hospital and pay my medical fees, but you even allowed the police to arrest me. Are you so great just because you have power and influence? Do you believe that I’ll sue you?”
The two truck drivers had a very good att.i.tude at the moment. They kept apologizing to the taxi driver and Sze Lingyun.
“I’m really sorry. My brother and I stayed up all night last night. This morning, we had breakfast and slept in the car for an hour. It was really too difficult on the road just now, and I almost fell asleep. In the end, I was in a trance, and the car almost hit the guardrail on the side. I was shocked and stepped on the brakes. I really didn’t see a car behind me. You were driving too fast and were in my rearview mirror’s blind spot. If I knew that there was a car behind me. I wouldn’t have suddenly stepped on the brakes!”
“What about you? How do you plan to explain your sudden acceleration?”
Under Chi Yang’s gaze, the driver of the truck behind them looked embarra.s.sed. “Brother Chang is right. We both stayed up all night last night. We were too tired. Actually... Actually, I was already asleep on the road just now. I didn’t see the taxi beside me at all. I was just subconsciously following Brother Chang. I was too sleepy. When it happened, I noticed Chang put his foot on the brake. I wanted to put my foot on the brake too, but I didn’t react correctly and instead stepped on the accelerator. Because I was anxious, the steering wheel jerked around. I’m really sorry!”
