"You’re leaving tomorrow?"
"Can’t you stay home a few more days?"
"I still have work over there, and the plane ticket is already booked."
Mrs. Ouyang held her forehead and started moaning again, "Oh, my head... my head hurts!"
Seeing this, Ouyang Hao was speechless. With his mother’s acting skills, why didn’t she become an actress back then?
Not wanting to listen to his mother’s nagging, he decided to go out for some fresh air. He had been cooped up at home these past few days and was nearly driven mad.
"Mom, Mu Chen is back and said we should have a meal together. It’s getting late, I’ll head out first."
"Aunt An has already prepared the meal, just at home..." Before Mrs. Ouyang could finish her sentence, Ouyang Hao had already walked far away. Mrs. Ouyang pursed her lips, feeling quite dissatisfied, "Look at this son of mine, can’t stay at home for even a moment. I really need to find him a wife to rein in this wild horse."
Leaving the military compound, Ouyang Hao finally felt much more relieved, but also a bit troubled.
Recently, the Empress Dowager seemed especially focused on his marriage, almost ready to give him a final ultimatum. He knew his mother well, usually kind and easy to talk to, but when it came to crucial matters, she was unequivocal.
He had to make his move before the Empress Dowager did; he absolutely couldn’t let her arrange his marriage.
But when it came to finding someone he wanted to spend his life with...
A cold and wooden face flashed through Ouyang Hao’s mind unexpectedly. He shook his head vigorously, how could he suddenly think of that blockhead?
And he had no idea if, during the few days he was away, that blockhead had secretly gone to see that refined scoundrel behind his back.
Ouyang Hao had initially planned to give Lin Yixun a good scolding when she came to pick him up at the airport. But to his frustration, when he arrived in T City and searched the airport lounge, he didn’t see any sign of Lin Yixun.
He thought it might be traffic on the way, so Lin Yixun hadn’t arrived yet. But after waiting and waiting, there was still no Lin Yixun.
Could that girl have forgotten to come to the airport?
Ouyang Hao took out his phone and skillfully dialed a series of numbers. The phone rang several times, but no one picked up on the other end. He pursed his lips in annoyance, refused to give up, and dialed again, still with no response from Lin Yixun.
"What the heck? Where did that girl disappear to?!" Ouyang Hao was so angry he almost threw his phone. He mentally jotted down a demerit for Lin Yixun.
Actually, Lin Yixun hadn’t forgotten to go to the airport to pick up Ouyang Hao. It was just that as soon as she stepped out, she received a call from the police.
After investigating the car accident, the police concluded that it was caused by drunk driving.
However, this conclusion was hard for Lin Yixun to believe.
She distinctly remembered that after the car failed to hit her the first time, it backed up and aimed for her again. If the driver was drunk, how could they have changed direction midway?
He was clearly targeting her!
Because of this, she went to the police station to recount the details of the accident, hoping the police would reinvestigate the case.
"I’m sorry, Miss Lin. We have considered your claims as well. However, there are no surveillance cameras at the entrance of T University, so there is no strong evidence to support your statements. Moreover, we did indeed find that the driver was drunk at the time of the accident. The driver’s consciousness was almost entirely impaired, making it highly unlikely for him to have deliberately attempted murder in that state."
