After a brief conversation, Kirisaki Rie casually tossed her phone onto the passenger seat and muttered under her breath, "Seriously! What's so great about dating? I don't want to..."
Just as he was muttering to himself, an old man suddenly darted out from the intersection.
10. Seeing this, Kirisaki Rie quickly slammed on the brakes.
With the tires screeching against the ground, the car came to a stop just two meters away from the elderly man.
But before she could even breathe a sigh of relief, she saw the other person suddenly collapse.
This scene startled Kirisaki Rie, who quickly got out of the car and rushed to his side with concern: "Sir, are you alright?"
No sooner had he finished speaking than the old man suddenly clutched his lower back and groaned, "Ouch~, my old back! Why are you driving so fast?"
"I feel like my whole body is about to fall apart. I need to pay compensation!"
Upon hearing this, Kirisaki Rie said urgently, "Sir, I didn't bump into you at all."
However, her words were clearly ineffective against such a shameless old man.
"If you didn't hit me, did this old man fall to the ground on his own?"
"Enough with the nonsense. If I don't get 200,000 today, this old man won't be able to get up."
"How...how could you do this?!"
Having just stepped out of the ivory tower of school and yet to experience the harsh realities of society, Kirisaki Rie was experiencing the wickedness of human nature for the first time, and she was so anxious that she almost burst into tears.
At this moment, the old scoundrel spoke up again: "It's fine if you don't pay compensation. My son is still single. If you become his girlfriend, I won't hold you responsible."
Upon hearing this, Kirisaki Rie's chest heaved with anger: "You, you..."
The sudden turn of events quickly attracted a large crowd of onlookers.
Seeing this, the old rogue clutched his knee and cried out at the top of his lungs, "Ouch~, my kneecap! Ouch~, my herniated disc!"
"I never expected such a pretty young girl to be such a road hazard. Look what happened to this old man."
"Young lady, quickly take this old man to the hospital!"
Listening to the chatter of the onlookers, Rie Kirisaki's eyes glistened with tears: "I didn't hit him, he fell down on his own."
It was true, but as the woman recounted her story, accusations poured in: "You're such a pretty girl, how can you be so irresponsible?"
"Exactly! If you're going to get hit, stand up straight. Since you bumped into someone..."
Seeing that no one knew what had happened, and that they were criticizing her harshly, Kirisaki Rie was so angry that she trembled all over.
Just then, a deep and magnetic voice suddenly rang out from not far away: "What happened?"
Subconsciously turning her head to look, when she saw the handsome young man in a black and white casual outfit, with a tall and upright posture, Kirisaki Rie couldn't help but murmur to herself, "So handsome!"
The appearance of the young man seemed to press the pause button instantly, causing the surroundings to fall silent.
And this young man was none other than Lin Chuan.
He had been secretly following the other party ever since they left the academy, and he never expected to encounter something like this. It was truly a godsend.
With a faint smile playing on his lips, Lin Chuan approached Kirisaki Rie and said softly, "Miss, it seems you're in trouble. Is there anything I can do to help you?"
As he spoke, the legendary All-Encompassing Affinity was fully activated.
In addition, with the 4 affinity from the "Plot Destroyer Medal", Kirisaki Rie felt that the other party was as warm as the rising sun in winter.
Under that inexplicable trust, she told the other party the whole story.
After saying that, she added softly, "I really didn't hit him. I stopped the car when I was still two meters away."
No sooner had he finished speaking than the old rogue began to wail again: "This is outrageous! He hit someone and then framed an old man like me..."
Lin Chuan glanced at the old dog, a hint of killing intent flashing in his eyes. The other man reminded him of the past.
Before graduating in the original world, he kindly helped an elderly person who had fallen on the roadside.
Instead of being grateful, that old bastard turned around and accused the other man of bumping into him.
The matter eventually reached the police station. Since there were no surveillance cameras on the section of road involved, he had no choice but to accept his bad luck and pay more than 5000 yuan in compensation.
Back then, he was still a student. Not wanting his parents to worry, he ate instant noodles for several months before finally paying off his debt. Even now, the smell of instant noodles makes him want to vomit.
I had no choice but to endure it before because I was powerless to do so!
But now, all he wants to do is send these old folks who have taken advantage of and trampled on others' good intentions to the afterlife to repent for their sins.
"It's very simple to prove who's lying!"
After saying that, under the expectant gaze of Kirisaki Rie, Lin Chuan opened the Beetle's door and got into the driver's seat.
Then, he shifted into reverse and reversed for more than ten meters before stepping on the gas.
With a roar of the engine, the Beetle transformed into an angry bull, charging towards the old bunch of vegetables.
Upon seeing this, the other party initially thought that Lin Chuan was bluffing.
But as he got closer, he showed no sign of stopping. Unable to suppress his fear any longer, he sprang to his feet and darted to the side like a nimble monkey.
Before he could even stand still, he unleashed a barrage of abuse at Lin Chuan: "Madman! You're a madman!"
Emerging from the Beetle, Lin Chuan put his hands in his pockets and said with a mocking expression, "What? Didn't you just say you couldn't move? You seem more energetic than a seventeen or eighteen-year-old!"
One sentence was enough to leave those old fogies speechless.
At this moment, the onlookers, who had just realized they had been made a fool of, instantly changed their tune and began to question him.
In the end, the old man, unable to withstand the pressure, had no choice but to slink away in a sorry state.
You thought that was the end of it?
No! Hell is their final destination!
Chapter 106 Sayaka stumbles upon
Soon, after the crowd of onlookers had gradually dispersed, Kirisaki Rie looked at Lin Chuan with gratitude: "Thank you, sir! Thank you!"
If it weren't for the other person, she really wouldn't know how to handle this situation.
There are no security cameras around here, so she will most likely have to pay compensation.
But 20 yuan is almost equivalent to three months of her salary.
She had just graduated from school and didn't have much money to begin with.
If we are indeed extorted by the other party, we may have to eat dirt for the next few months.
With a gentle smile on his face, Lin Chuan casually waved his hand: "I helped those in need, no need for thanks."
Upon hearing this, Kirisaki Rie looked curious: "Are you Chinese, sir? I had a Chinese classmate before, and she often said that."
"Yes! My name is Lin Chuan."
“Rie Kirisaki! Mr. Hayashikawa, you can call me Rie.”
"Mr. Lin Chuan has helped me so much, let me treat you to dinner."
Faced with the beautiful woman's invitation, Lin Chuan smiled faintly and shook his head: "No need, I still have some things to take care of! We'll meet again someday."
Having said that, Lin Chuan turned and left without giving him a chance to speak.
As he was leaving, a ring quietly fell out of his pocket.
After calling out several times, and seeing Lin Chuan walk further and further away until he disappeared from sight, Kirisaki Rie couldn't help but mutter softly, "What a strange person~"
Just as she was about to get into the car, she suddenly saw a dazzling golden light in the distance.
Curious, I approached the spot of light, bent down, and picked it up, only to discover that it was a ring with an antique design.
"This should belong to Mr. Lin Chuan, right?"
"Never mind! I'll wait here for a while. He'll probably come back to look for it when he finds it's gone."
They waited from dusk until late at night.
Seeing that Lin Chuan hadn't come looking for her yet, and already so hungry that her stomach was practically sticking to her back, Kirisaki Rie couldn't take it anymore and shook her head a few times: "Never mind! I'll give it back to him next time I see him."
! ”
Then, with her stomach protesting, she dove headfirst into the Beetle and sped off toward the nearest restaurant.
Meanwhile, Lin Chuan, whom she had been waiting for, was enjoying a delicious meal at home.
Lin Chuan picked up a plump, scallion-braised abalone that glistened enticingly under the soft light and gently savored it.
Then, she couldn't help but give a thumbs up: "Aunt Xiangzi's abalone is so delicious, it's just the right balance of salty and sweet, and it's soft and chewy."
No sooner had she finished speaking than Chiba Yuki handed her a delicate pastry: "Onii-chan, why don't you try it and see how it tastes? I spent the whole afternoon making it~"
"it is good!"
Lin Chuan nodded with a faint smile, then took a small bite.
Instantly, a rich milky aroma bursts in the mouth, with a hint of sweetness.
Unable to wait any longer, Chiba Yuki asked, "Onii-chan~, how does it taste?"
Lin Chuan also gave his honest opinion: "Rich in milk flavor, with a sweet aftertaste, Yuki-chan's cooking skills are excellent~"
Hearing her lover's praise, the girl's eyes slowly curved into crescent moons, then she looked at Chiba Sayaka beside her: "Sister, now it's your turn~"
A faint blush rose to her cheeks, and Chiba Sayaka shyly pushed a plate of braised beef brisket with tomatoes in front of Lin Chuan: "Lin-Lin Chuan-kun, please try it!"
After tasting it, Lin Chuan gave it a very high score.
The dinner lasted until eight or nine o'clock in the evening.
As the moon rose above the willow branches, Lin Chuan arrived on time for their appointment.
Looking at Chiba Shoko, who was dressed in a black veil, with a slender figure, a charming physique, and an aura of mature elegance, he gently lifted her delicate chin.
"Xiangzi, I really enjoyed the dishes you made tonight, but unfortunately there weren't enough to eat. Could you make me another meal?"
How could Chiba Shoko refuse such a request?
After all, all the other person wanted was to eat the food she cooked!
A few faint blushes quickly spread across the snow-white, slender swan-like neck. The beauty gently nodded her head, her voice sweet and charming: "Of course, no problem."
