4 -4 My Boss Wants to See You
“What’s the use of saying sorry now?
What were you doing when you hit the person?!” he couldn’t help but roar in anger.
Lin Xinlan’s heart trembled, and she hurriedly explained, “I’m sorry, I didn’t know she would suddenly dash out, I didn’t do it on purpose.
When I was turning the corner, I saw her rushing over, I braked in time, but sadly it was still a step too late.
I’m really very sorry, I really didn’t mean it…”
Rong Shaoze had no intention of listening to her, “Save your explanations for the police!”
Lin Xinlan’s eyes widened in terror, she opened her mouth but no words came out.
Yes, she should have known, she would definitely be going to the police station.
Indeed, the police arrived quickly, and Lin Xinlan went back with them to the station for an investigation.
Before being taken into custody, she made a phone call to her mother, telling her she was going to another city to survey the market for a while and that she probably wouldn’t be in contact for a long time.
Her mother understood her work.
She told her not to worry, saying the baby was in her care and she shouldn’t be concerned.
Lin Xinlan then spoke a few words to her child.
Hearing the innocent voice of her child, she covered her mouth tightly and cried.
If she were imprisoned, what would become of her child?
Fearing that her child would notice something was wrong with her voice, Lin Xinlan quickly hung up the phone and then turned it off.
She was locked up in the detention center, waiting for the court to convene.
Lin Xinlan spent every day squatting on the small bed, praying that the woman named Ruoxin would be safe and sound.
That way, she would just have to pay compensation and wouldn’t have to face court or imprisonment.
Three days had passed, and just as Lin Xinlan’s was losing all hope, the police surprisingly told her someone had bailed her out, and she was free now.
She looked incredulously with wide eyes, not knowing which kind-hearted person had saved her.
Stepping out of the police station, she felt a sense of unreality, as if reborn.
It was five o’clock in the afternoon, yet the white daylight still made her squint uncomfortably.
Ahead was a black sedan.
A man opened the door and gestured for her to get in.
“Miss Lin, my boss wants to meet you, please.”
“The one who bailed you out.”
Lin Xinlan eagerly asked, “Who is he, and why would he help me?”
“You’ll have to ask him yourself.”
Regardless, since he had saved her, she owed him thanks.
Lin Xinlan didn’t ask further and got into the car.
All her questions would wait until she met this person.
The car slowly made its way down the road, and it took a long time to reach the destination.
Sky quickly darkened, and a clap of thunder was followed by a downpour.
Lin Xinlan didn’t know where the driver was taking her.
She watched as fewer and fewer pedestrians were on the road, and then the car started up toward a famous mountain.
It was the renowned Yan Mountain in B City, where reclusive, influential figures resided.
“Screech—” The car stopped in front of a villa reminiscent of a European castle.
The driver got out, opened an umbrella, and led her into the villa.
Lin Xinlan was anxious as she surveyed her surroundings on the way, knowing that the owner of this villa must be someone of no ordinary status.
Why would that person help her?
She was certain she didn’t know such an influential figure.
“Here we are, go inside!” The driver unceremoniously pushed her into the living room, his demeanor cold and rough, a complete turn from earlier.
Lin Xinlan stumbled, falling onto the thick carpet.
She looked up and saw a man sitting on the sofa in front of her.
There were no lights on in the living room, so she couldn’t make out his features.
“Boom—” Suddenly, a flash of lightning and a roar of thunder illuminated the room with a chilling light, allowing her to see the man’s face clearly.
