Chapter 93: Chapter 93 Escape

Dingsheng Garden is located in the city center and is a property under Jiahe Group, specializing in high-end housing, with the lowest price starting at seven million. Although the Lin Family isn’t short on cash, they’ve long been out of the Lin Group’s center, and their savings are about this amount. She absolutely couldn’t spend all the family’s money to buy a house just to save face.

However, in Luocheng, the prices of properties better than Dingsheng are not low, and she couldn’t afford them either. Yet she couldn’t bear being stepped on by Song Meishu, and she had boasted in front of so many people. Now, asking her to tell them it was all lies, just to save face, wasn’t realistic.

Thinking of this, Li Lihua felt frustrated. She was caught in a dilemma, with no way out, driving her to the brink of madness.

Just as Li Lihua was still struggling with what to do, a loud crash and the resulting inertia brought her back to her senses.

With the car hood raised high due to the force of impact, and the car in front having slid a distance, Li Lihua’s face turned pale instantly. Even if she were a fool, she would know she was in big trouble now. She cursed at Song Meishu inwardly, thinking if it weren’t for Song Meishu provoking her, would she have made such promises? If she hadn’t, would she be so troubled to crash a car?

At this moment, Li Lihua shifted all the blame onto others, seemingly forgetting that even if she hadn’t lost focus and hit someone else’s car, drinking and driving was still not permissible.

Li Lihua panicked and hid in the car, but waited for a long time without anyone getting out of the opposite car. She had a bad premonition and, without much hesitation, started the car and fled the scene like an arrow leaving the bow. By the time she came to her senses again, she was already home.

"Why did you come back so late?" Lin Shichang had been sitting on the sofa waiting for Li Lihua. He was forced to leave the dinner table by being ridiculed by Li Lihua’s classmates. After leaving, he regretted it somewhat; he shouldn’t have left Li Lihua alone at the restaurant. But since he had already left, it was impossible for him to swallow his pride and go back.

So he left the car for Li Lihua and waited for her on the sofa.

He thought Li Lihua would make a fuss and yell at him, but unexpectedly, Li Lihua cried in his arms, leaving Lin Shichang at a loss. His jaw tensed, and he patted Li Lihua’s back. He spoke in a not-so-good tone, "Didn’t I just come back early? Why are you crying like this?"

"Husband, I hit someone. I hit someone, what should I do?" Li Lihua raised her tearful eyes from Lin Shichang’s embrace and said, "Help me think of a way. I don’t want to go to jail."

"You hit someone? And you ran away?" Lin Shichang couldn’t care to reminisce and pushed Li Lihua out of his arms with a grim face.

"I didn’t mean to, but I don’t know why, I panicked and ran. Shichang, dear, I don’t want to go to jail. Help me, please."

Just as Li Lihua was crying and wailing in Lin Shichang’s arms, Xu Ke and Lin Mengyao returned from work together. Seeing the scene in the living room, they both paused. Lin Mengyao looked at Li Lihua with suspicion and asked, "What’s going on?"

Lin Shichang glanced at Lin Mengyao and Xu Ke standing behind her. A dark light flashed in his eyes as he solemnly summarized what Li Lihua had said, "No matter what, your mom can’t go to jail. What should we do?" Lin Shichang threw the problem to Lin Mengyao and Xu Ke.

Li Lihua wasn’t sure how capable Lin Mengyao was, but she had heard that after Lin Mengyao returned from the Yun Family’s banquet, her connections had improved significantly. As long as Lin Mengyao was willing to help, this would be a small matter.

"Mom, you shouldn’t have fled." Lin Mengyao looked at Li Lihua with a complex expression. She really didn’t expect Li Lihua to dare to hit and run. This was no longer a small matter and could mean legal responsibility.

"What’s the use of saying that now? Quickly help me think of a solution!" Li Lihua shouted desperately and then seemed to realize something, looking at Lin Mengyao with a pleading expression.

"Go back to the scene, see if the person is still there. If they are, take them to the hospital and seek forgiveness to reach a private settlement. If not, find the hospital where they are and reach a private settlement," Xu Ke said coldly from behind Lin Mengyao.

"Exactly. Where did you hit the person, let’s go back right now." Lin Mengyao slung her bag back over her shoulder and said.

"Listen to Mengyao, let’s go back." Lin Shichang glanced at the two and said to Li Lihua. On this matter, their stance was consistent: Lin Shichang’s wife couldn’t be a hit-and-run criminal.

Li Lihua was already overwhelmed by the possibility of having killed someone, and although she deeply resisted returning to the crime scene, everyone in the family insisted she should return. In her panic, without a backbone, Li Lihua muddle-headedly agreed.

Li Lihua’s car was already damaged, so Xu Ke drove the Lamborghini along the route Li Lihua had described to the crime scene. But their luck wasn’t good; when they arrived, the car was already gone. If it weren’t for the broken car light fragments on the ground, Li Lihua would have thought everything earlier was just a dream.

"What now? The car is gone. Did the person inside die or go to the hospital? Will I be arrested and jailed? I don’t want to go to jail; I can’t go to jail." Li Lihua shouted, looking at the car light fragments on the ground.

"Calm down. The situation isn’t concluded yet. I’ll first ask someone to check if there are any accident patients in the hospitals," Lin Shichang said, supporting Li Lihua’s weakening body.

"I’ll ask someone to check with the police station to see if there’s been a report," Lin Mengyao stated.

"Then I’ll check the crematorium," Xu Ke added.

The three of them investigated in different directions, showing an unprecedented unity. But Li Lihua suddenly widened her eyes, ran out from Lin Shichang’s embrace, and looked at Lin Mengyao and Xu Ke with a fervent and bizarre expression, seeming somewhat frightening in the dark night.

"Why go to all that trouble when there’s a faster way?"

Lin Mengyao suddenly felt a shiver in her heart but still asked patiently, "What way?"

"Let him go. Let him turn himself in at the police station, then the police won’t investigate me anymore, and I’ll be fine," Li Lihua pointed at Xu Ke and said loudly.
