"Sorry, Major General, but how did all this happen?" Mr. Wang, chief of the Transportation Bureau asked with respect. He already knew that it was just a typical rear-end collision the moment he set eyes on those two cars. What worried him though was that Mr. Yi was also summoned. Traffic accidents were not a part of Mr. Yi's responsibility at all. Things went even more complicated when he found out that his good-for-nothing son was there too, together with the Mayor's son. His heart missed a beat as he suddenly felt confused. Could there be something more than just an accident in here?
"See those guys over there? I think you two know who their fathers are better than I do." Kevin pouted his lips to point to the two young men. A few seconds later his mouth curled into a smirk. His sarcasm was so obvious in his words.
"Yes, of course. Have they done something that offended you? If that is the case, I must apologize for all their wrongdoing," Mr. Yi answered immediately and carefully. He had cold feet when faced with Daisy before. Now that it was Kevin whom he needed to deal with, he could just hope that it wasn't obvious that he was frantic and even shaking in his shoes.
"You don't have to scramble to take the fall, Mr. Yi. They are grown ups and can take responsibility for themselves. They staged an accident and tried to blackmail my wife. Worse, they have injured her in the process. Based on your professional judgment, what crimes should they be charged with?" Kevin asked the old man without even looking at him. He was casual while talking about the incident as if it was not important, making it hard for others to figure out what was in his mind.
"How dare they do these!" Mr. Yi raised his voice after hearing Kevin's words. He swiftly turned to the young guys and demanded, "What are you waiting for, you little bastards? Come here and apologize to Major General and his wife properly right now! They might forgive you if you make a sincere apology." After saying so, he turned his eyes to Leena, who was standing by Kevin. He had heard that Kevin already married but he never knew who his wife was. The lady looked familiar to him after he had a good look. He couldn't recollect where he had seen her though.
"We are terribly sorry, Mr. and Mrs. Gu! We know we were wrong. Please be assured that we will change and things like this won't happen in the future!" The guys uttered sincerely with their heads bowed down. They dared not to show any arrogance right now.
