The film crew will arrive at the hotel near Yenching University this afternoon. Ye Yingying has already informed them that the budgeted hotel doesn't include her; she will stay at her sister Ye Zhiwei's place.
At 8:30 in the morning, the agent had her assistant and driver go with Ye Yingying.
The journey took about two hours. Ye Yingying had been filming a lot lately, and even when she wasn't filming, she had to prepare for exams. Sometimes she would be doing practice questions around 1 a.m., and then she would have to get up early at 6 a.m. the next day. She was always sleep-deprived, and she quickly fell into a nap while sitting in the car.
The driver noticed that Ye Yingying was resting, so he drove as smoothly as possible. After about two hours, they exited the highway and entered the city, where the roads became congested.
The worst part was at a bend in the road. A car in front suddenly braked, forcing the driver to brake hard as well. The car behind crashed into them, instantly waking Ye Yingying from her drowsy state.
The driver said apologetically, "Ms. Ye, it seems we've been in a car accident."
The assistant hadn't expected the car behind to suddenly crash into them, so he told Ye Yingying to stay in the car while he and the driver got out to check the situation.
The drivers were a few of Shen Heng's friends.
Shen Heng was imprisoned because of Tang Ke. His family didn't care about him. Shen Heng was arrested and didn't understand anything. Even though Xu Yanshen consulted a lawyer and knew that Shen Heng could seek legal aid from the public security organs, he couldn't tell Shen Heng. Given Shen Heng's personality, even if the police asked him, he would probably just shake his head.
Xu Yanshen could only try to persuade Shen Heng's parents to help Shen Heng hire a defense lawyer. The lawyer's fee, including the bail money, was something they had to scrape together. Where were they supposed to get all that money?
Xu Yanshen and his friends couldn't think of a solution, so they could only borrow things from their classmates. Even the car they were driving was borrowed from a former classmate.
Saying they wanted to borrow money was a polite way of putting it, but it was actually a form of intimidation. I guess everyone at the school had heard about it, and almost everyone hung up as soon as they heard their voices. So Xu Yanshen simply took a few people and went to their door.
Unexpectedly, a car accident occurred.
Boys, you know, they all like cars and are familiar with car brands. When they saw the car logos on the vehicles they crashed into, they were so scared that they didn't dare to say a word. Even if they were clueless, they would know that they had crashed into luxury cars and encountered rich people.
The driver and assistant got out of the car and knocked on the window. The man with the earring who was driving panicked and couldn't help but ask Xu Yanshen in the passenger seat, "Brother, what do we do now? I rear-ended him. I don't have the money to pay for it privately. If the police come, I'm finished too. I was driving without a license. They'll punish me severely!"
Xu Yanshen rubbed his temples. He had reminded the man with the earring to be careful while driving, but he didn't expect the man with the earring to rush like a wild horse as soon as he touched a car. Now he had caused a car accident, and it was with a rich man's car. The man with the earring was completely disoriented, and there was no point in him scolding him anymore. He could only get out of the car first.
The driver, surprised that it was such a young boy, frowned and said, "You decide whether to have the police handle it or have your parents come."
Xu Yanshen's family situation was not good, and it was impossible for his family to get involved. Calling the police would only make things worse, so he could only say, "Uncle, how about we settle this privately?"
"Settle it privately?" The driver couldn't help but sneer. "Kid, do you even know what kind of car this is? You think you can just settle it privately like that? You've crashed this car like this; the repair costs will be over 300,000 yuan. Where would a little kid like you get that much money? Just call your parents and have them handle it!"
