Chapter 463: 216 Terrified Soul (Second Watch)

There were quite a few people gathered outside the entrance of the police station. A middle-aged man and a young girl about five or six years old knelt at the door. The man was holding a banner with shocking red characters on it that read: Severely punish the hit-and-run driver and return my wife to good health.

The banner held by the little girl said: The Bodhisattva lives among us; thank you for saving our lives, Ms. Ming Jing.

It was the busy hour when people got off work, and more and more people gathered around. Many elderly men and women with baskets hanging on their arms also joined the crowd, as they couldn’t bear to see such a scene.

“Ah, what a disaster from the sky. If it weren’t for someone saving them, this family would be broken apart. How pitiful.”

“Ms. Ming Jing is really a Bodhisattva incarnate, such a good person.”

“Has the hit-and-run driver been caught?”

“I heard the police have found the person, but they have a strong background, so the police dare not make an arrest.”

“What? How could this happen in broad daylight? Is she some kind of immortal, so even if she kills someone, she won’t have to pay for it?”

Ordinary people couldn’t stand this kind of protection for the privileged. Did they think that having a background could exempt them from paying for their actions? It was too hard for ordinary people to accept.

Feeling empathetic, the crowd was enraged. They all stood with the father and daughter, demanding that the police give an explanation and severely punish the perpetrator.

The more people gathered, the more anxious the station director became, as if sitting on a hot pot.

At this moment, a car quietly parked on the side of the road. Jessica Feng saw the scene at the entrance of the police station and was terrified.

“No… I’m not going to turn myself in, I’m not going.” Her hands clutched the seat tightly.

Li Yang said coldly, “Originally, you just had to compensate the victim after hitting them. But you, stupid woman, insisted on fleeing the scene. Do you know how many years the law sentences hit-and-run drivers to? How dull-witted I was to fall for such a useless woman like you?”

“Husband, can you save me? I’ve been with you for so many years, and I’ve given birth to our lovely and obedient daughter Xiao Yu. Even if I haven’t done any merits, I’ve certainly made efforts. Can you ask your cousin to save me? I can’t go to jail; what will happen to Xiao Yu without a mother?”

“How dare you mention Xiao Yu? You’ve taught her no manners; she offends people at school and has even implicated Mr. Gu. You and your daughter are just… just…” Li Yang slapped her in anger, his hand trembling.

“Do you know what you’ve done to my cousin’s life? You’ve ruined all our years of hard work.”

“You expect my cousin to save you? She’s in the hospital because she’s so angry at your actions, and Mr. Gu wants a divorce.”

Jessica Feng turned pale: “I… I didn’t do it on purpose. I was just scared, and I stepped on the wrong pedal. It’s Ming Jing’s fault. If it wasn’t for her, I wouldn’t have stepped on the wrong pedal, and I wouldn’t have hit someone…”

Li Yang shook his head: “If it weren’t for Ming Jing saving the person in time, they would have died. You should be grateful to Ming Jing, yet here you are, placing the blame on her.”

Jessica Feng gritted her teeth in hatred: “If you all won’t save me, don’t you fear I’ll expose all your secrets?”

She knew she couldn’t go to jail, or her life would be over. To avoid this, she was willing to pay any price.

Li Yang narrowed his eyes: “Are you threatening me?”

Jessica Feng had always thought Li Yang was gentle and good-tempered. Only after going through this ordeal did she realize she had never truly understood him.

Li Yang’s eyes were filled with murderous intent, causing Jessica Feng’s soul to shatter.

“What… what are you going to do?”

“Either you turn yourself in obediently and keep your mouth shut, or…”

A delicate hairpin appeared in Li Yang’s hand.

Jessica Feng couldn’t believe it: “She’s your own daughter!”

Li Yang grabbed Jessica Feng by the throat and sneered: “If you behave, she’ll be fine. Otherwise…I don’t know what I might do.”

Jessica Feng trembled with fear, “You… you’re simply a beast.”

“You brought this upon yourself.” The man sighed.

“It’s my fault too for letting you become like this. I was too immersed in painting and never restrained your behavior. I thought you were at least a smart person. But fame and fortune can change anyone, even the purest person, once they dive in.”
