Chapter 3600: Chapter 3592: Guess Why He Kept Toasting Me
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."
Lin Yi said:
"By procedure, shouldn’t you let me blow into it first?"
"I could smell alcohol on you when you spoke; no need to blow it in the car, step out now."
Given such a reason, Lin Yi sensed something amiss.
It felt as though someone was conspiring against him.
Though he thought this way, he stepped out of the car nonetheless.
"Blow into it, and I’ll see how much you’ve had to drink."
The traffic cop brought the device to Lin Yi’s mouth.
Lin Yi blew into it.
The reading appeared quickly.
"56mg/100mL, have a look yourself, do I need to say more?"
"No need, I can understand it."
"Alright, come with us then."
Lin Yi nodded, turning to the passenger side.
"Wait for me here."
"Are they going to take you? Hold on, I’ll call my friend now."
"No need to call anyone, just wait for me here."
Lin Yi instructed and followed the traffic cop.
As they got some distance from the car, Lin Yi stopped walking.
The traffic cop glanced back at him.
"Don’t think about calling for somebody, nobody can help, just come with us."
"I have something I want to ask."
"Ask what?"
"When I parked, you looked at my license plate. From the way you acted, it seemed you were here specifically for me. Was it because someone reported me?"
The traffic cop was a bit surprised by Lin Yi’s perceptiveness.
Most wouldn’t think so much.
"That’s none of your concern, just come with us."
"I know you have responsibilities, but take a look at this first."
As he spoke, Lin Yi handed over his credentials.
The traffic cop paused upon seeing Lin Yi’s credentials.
"Active duty?"
"Yes."
Instinctively, the traffic cop took the credentials and opened them.
His eyes widened immediately!
To reach this rank at such a young age was no mean feat.
"Let this go. Even if you take me in, I’ll still get out eventually. What’s more, your superiors might reprimand you, and if my information gets leaked, not just you, but everyone involved will be in trouble."
"Understood."
"So can you tell me who reported me?"
"We’ll need to check that at the information center."
"Alright."
As they spoke, Lin Yi left his phone number behind.
"Call me when you find out."
"Sure, sure."
With a farewell, Lin Yi turned back to the car.
Seeing Lin Yi return unharmed, Chen Yuying stared wide-eyed at him.
"How did you come back? Did you settle it?"
"Of course."
"You have connections in this area too?"
"Sort of." Lin Yi said with a smile:
"Anyway, the matter’s resolved, no need to worry."
"No wonder you dared to drink and drive; you have nothing to fear," Chen Yuying said:
"But this is really bizarre. I have a friend who is also very cautious; he never drinks when driving, but just once, after a single bottle, he ran into the police."
"Other instances might be coincidental, but today isn’t."
"What do you mean? Are you suggesting this wasn’t a chance occurrence?"
"Guess why Li Zhidong kept toasting me during dinner?"
Chen Yuying suddenly had an epiphany.
She seemed to understand the meaning.
"I initially thought he was trying to ingratiate himself, but maybe he was setting you up!"
"Exactly. I’m your driver, if I drove off, his plan would succeed. If you drove or we got a chauffeur, there’d be no loss to him."
