In the car, Chen Yutong looked at Lin Yi.
"Are you sure you’re okay to drive? Don’t you want me to drive, or should we call a chauffeur?"
"I only had a few drinks, I don’t feel anything, it won’t affect my driving."
"I know you’re in good shape, but I’m afraid we’ll run into the police on the road."
"Don’t worry, I’m familiar with this road, the police usually don’t check here."
"Alright, but no more next time."
"Understood."
"Earlier during dinner, why were you nudging me under the table?"
"Since you came, there was no need to keep a cold face, just have a token bite."
"But my opinion is that the conflict between us is irreconcilable, no matter how the meal goes, the result will be the same."
"You’re right in saying that, but there’s also the ’cornered dog will jump over the wall’ factor."
"The ’cornered dog will jump over the wall’?"
"In the future, they’ll definitely try to deal with you again, but they won’t use yesterday’s method, it’ll be unexpected, something you can’t even imagine. You might not be able to handle these things, and it could catch you off guard."
Lin Yi drove calmly, saying:
"It’s better to create a superficial harmony now, giving you more time to prepare and deal with it. If things are unpleasant today, and they act rashly out of desperation, coming up with another plan to trouble you, it could still cause you significant trouble."
"I understand what you mean."
"So, what’s important next is to think of ways to deal with them."
"The main thing is, currently, I’m so busy I’m dizzy, I really don’t have time to deal with their issues."
Chen Yuying held her forehead, looking visibly tired.
"Do you have other matters to handle?"
"It’s difficult for them and it’s difficult for my business too. Recently, I’ve had several collaborations but none are progressing smoothly."
"I see."
Lin Yi said nothing further.
Living in this circle, everyone has their difficulties.
Even he had no solution.
"Look ahead!"
Chen Yuying’s tone suddenly rose.
"It looks like a police car, could they be checking for drunk drivers?"
"They probably are."
Lin Yi had already noticed the police car ahead.
But something felt off.
He often traveled this road and rarely encountered drunk driving checks, so why today?
"Quick, turn around and take another route."
"They’re not clueless; if you turn around now, they’ll know you’re guilty, and they’ll surely come after you, making it hard to explain."
"So what do we do now? You’ve been drinking! Quickly park the car, let’s switch places."
"It’s too late for that." Lin Yi said with a smile, "Don’t panic."
"Where there’s a will, there’s a way."
"That way you mentioned, is it the detention center?"
"Haha, President Chen, you have a sense of humor."
"At a time like this, you’re still laughing. We’ll just have to face the penalty now."
Chen Yutong exclaimed anxiously:
"Drunk driving isn’t a big issue, but if it’s considered driving under the influence, it could really be a problem."
"Don’t worry."
Lin Yi slowly drove as the traffic cop gestured for him to pull over.
"Step out of the car."
"Hmm?"
This opening wasn’t what Lin Yi had expected.
Logically, they should let him blow into the breathalyzer first.
If there were issues, then they’d ask him to step out of the car. Pulling him over straight away wasn’t the usual process.
"Wait a moment."
