My Sexy CEO Wife-Chapter 245 - 244: Evil Cannot Overcome Righteousness
The onlookers burst into a round of enthusiastic applause, "This is the triumph of good over evil!"
"Young man, thank you so much," the injured elderly man said as he walked over, continuously thanking Gao Fei.
"A righteous man could not ignore another's plight!" Gao Fei said with a smile, "Let me take you to the hospital for a check-up? To see if there are any internal injuries, being hit by a car is no trivial matter."
"No need, I'm fine," the old man said hastily, shaking his head, "It's just some scrapes, I'll just put some medicine on it when I get home, there's no need to go to the hospital."
"Still, you should get it checked out; don't worry, the medical expenses will be reimbursed," Gao Fei insisted, "Besides, you'll also get some compensation."
"Really, there's no need..."
"Come on, you'll feel better after a check-up."
"Alright, I'll take your advice."
And so, Gao Fei drove the elderly man to the hospital. That's what doing a good deed from start to finish is all about! Punishing the wicked while caring for the injured party.
After a thorough examination, no internal injuries were found. It was only a broken skin on the arm and a little blood. A few days of rest would do the trick, but for safety's sake, the hospital still wanted the man to stay for observation because some injuries are latent and won't appear immediately—such cases were not uncommon.
After settling the old man in, Gao Fei left.
On the drive home, Gao Fei called Liu Mengyao to inquire about Ye Shanshan's traffic accident.
"You can rest easy with me on it, she will be dealt with seriously," Liu Mengyao affirmed, "This time, no amount of interceding will work."
"Of course I'll be at ease with you watching over," Gao Fei replied cheerfully, "Come home early after work, I'm cooking today, to give you a little treat."
"I want braised pork."
"Alright, I'll make it for you."
"I also want fried fish."
"No problem, I'll make it."
"And tomato and egg soup."
"Done."
"And also..."
"Are you a rice bucket? Can one person eat that much?"
"None of your business? If I can't finish, I'll continue tomorrow!"
"…Fine, I'll make it! Happy now?"
"Better."
After chatting for a bit longer, Gao Fei hung up the phone and then concentrated on driving.

In the dark and claustrophobic interrogation room.

A middle-aged couple was talking to Ye Shanshan; they were her parents.
"Dad, Mom, why did you only come now? Hurry up and get me out of here, I'm sick of this place," Ye Shanshan said.
"You still want to get out?" Her father snorted coldly, "You've caused a big disaster this time, neither your mom nor I can save you now."
"Ah!" Ye Shanshan's face changed, "Is it really that serious?"
"My daughter, when will you ever grow up," her father sighed heavily, "Driving the wrong way was one thing, but then you even hit someone. An apology would have been enough, but instead, you not only refused to apologize, but threatened the victim. When the police arrived, they didn't even dare to arrest you. You really think you're so powerful," he said.
"That person wasn't seriously hurt," Ye Shanshan said, "I checked at the time; it was just a scrape, nothing serious."
"Lucky for you it wasn't serious, or your life would have been over," her father snorted.
Ye Shanshan pouted and muttered under her breath, "I know how to drive; I wouldn't kill someone." Her voice was quiet, but her parents still heard her.
"Bang!"
Her father slammed his hand on the table, "Know how? If you did, why were you driving the wrong way?"
"Shanshan, you've caused us too much worry," her mother said with a wry smile, "How much trouble have you caused ever since you were little? In the end, it was always me who had to fix things for you. We thought that when you grew up, you'd be sensible and stop causing trouble, but who knew... after growing up, your troubles only got worse!
For example, this time, you've offended a very important person. They've demanded a severe punishment for you, and despite your father and I asking many people we know and pulling lots of strings, it was no use."
"Go to Grandpa and Grandma," Ye Shanshan exclaimed, "Their network is broad, their influence is great. As long as they step in, I'm sure they can save me." In her eyes, her grandparents were omnipotent; no matter how complicated the situation, it would become simple once in their hands.
"We tried," her mother shook her head, "No use! Even your grandparents can't save you."
"Ah?" Ye Shanshan panicked, "How can that be? My grandparents are big shots, a single stomp from them and Southern City trembles three times. With their clout, they can't save me?"
"In this world, there are many people far more powerful than your grandparents," her mother said, "The person you've offended has formidable connections, beyond what your grandparents can deal with."
"Ah! What do we do then?" Ye Shanshan became frantic, "I don't want to go to jail."
"Now you're worried? What were you doing before?" her father shook his head helplessly, "Thinking you can get out unscathed is impossible now. The only thing you can do is to actively admit your mistakes, apologize sincerely to the elderly person you hit, and compensate them adequately. You must obtain their forgiveness, so that... your punishment might be lighter."
"What kind of punishment will I face?" Ye Shanshan asked anxiously.
Her father pondered for a moment, "At least detention, and if it's serious, you might even be sentenced to prison."
"Ah!" Ye Shanshan was terrified, tears streaming down her face, "I don't want to go to jail, I really don't want to go to jail, Dad, Mom, you must save me, you must! I don't want to go to jail! Wuuu..."
"Stop crying," her father became annoyed, "What's the use of crying! You're my daughter, I will definitely save you."
"Yes, stop crying, we'll do everything we can to get you out," her mother said, heartbroken at her daughter's tears, moving over to wipe them away, "Listen, once you get out, you must restrain yourself and not cause any more trouble."
"I know, I know," Ye Shanshan nodded hastily, her makeup smeared by the tears, looking like a teary-faced cat, her previous arrogance when hitting the person was long gone, "I will change, definitely change, I'll never drive the wrong way or hit anyone again."
"It's not just about driving the wrong way or hitting someone; mainly, it's your temper and personality. You must control them; stop losing your temper at people," her father said sternly.
"I'll remember," Ye Shanshan said as she wiped her tears, looking pitiful.
"That's the way it is, then. Reflect well on your actions here, don't worry too much, your mother and I will get you out," her father said, offering a few words of comfort before he and her mother got up to leave.
Ye Shanshan was left sitting in the chair, wiping away tears.
