When preparing to turn into the side road, Jiang Chen definitely didn't forget to check the rearview mirror, but he really didn't see anyone.
Of course.
Not seeing doesn't mean this is another classic case of staged accident; rearview mirrors do have blind spots.
Running away is definitely impossible, Jiang Chen immediately turned off the engine, got out of the car, and only then discovered that he hit a man who looked to be in his fifties.
At this age, in this era, it's definitely not considered old, not even reaching the statutory retirement age yet. But it seems...more like an attempt to stage an accident.
"Are you alright?"
Jiang Chen walked quickly over and crouched down.
"Young man, how do you drive? Can't you see people?"
Judging by the voice, the problem shouldn't be serious, and this man was just sitting on the ground, there were no traces of blood at the scene, just holding his leg.
The fact is he hit someone, explanations are useless, Jiang Chen looked at the man's leg, "Did you injure your leg? I will call an ambulance."
Polite.
Sincere.
Even though he was driving a luxury car, there wasn't the slightest air of arrogance.
Perhaps impressed by his attitude, the man who suffered from accidental disaster waved his hand, "Forget it, it's no big deal."
"Are you sure? You should still go to the hospital for a check-up."
Without any hint of reluctance, Jiang Chen continued to advise.
Yes.
Oftentimes, after a traffic accident, like hitting someone, even if the other party doesn't ask for anything, you absolutely cannot just leave, otherwise, if the other party turns around and calls the police, then the problem becomes troublesome.
Deal with it promptly, there's insurance to cover it, but if you leave, even with the other party's consent, it might still be considered as hit-and-run.
Of course.
Boss Jiang definitely wasn't thinking maliciously, merely acting based on his own education and character.
"Young man, you're a good person, but remember to be careful when driving in the future. If you really cause a serious accident, it will be bad."
As he spoke, this man rubbed his thigh and then tried to stand up.
Jiang Chen promptly reached out to help him.
"Alright, you can go."
Clearly, it wasn't a staged accident; after helping the man stand up, Jiang Chen finally noticed that the man was dressed plainly, but his features were handsome, at fifty, still having such appearance, he must have been quite a handsome man in his youth.
"Where do you live? I'll take you back."
It definitely wasn't an act, and there's no need to pretend in front of strangers, besides, for wealthy people driving luxury cars, why bother pretending to a common person on the street.
Although hit, watching the humble, low-key, and polite Jiang Chen, the man's gaze started to show appreciation towards the younger generation.
Who says all rich second generations are immoral?
Clearly, Jiang Chen's youth led to a misunderstanding by the other party.
"No need, you go your way, I live nearby..."
Before he could finish his sentence, this reasonable man suddenly frowned, moved his nose, then looked at Jiang Chen in surprise.
"Have you been drinking?"
The aroma of old liquor.
The mellow aftertaste.
Jiang Chen didn't deny, but also didn't admit, choosing silence.
The appreciation instantly disappeared, mistakes in driving can be forgiven, but drinking and driving is illegal, unforgivable!
"You drank and still drive? You are simply playing with your own and others' safety!"
The man's attitude towards Jiang Chen turned 180 degrees, from possibly thinking he was a well-mannered rich second generation earlier, now in his mind, Boss Jiang likely became categorized as a spoiled brat from news stories.
No need for Jiang Chen to act, the simmering anger led the man to take out his phone and decisively dial the police.
Jiang Chen quietly watched without making any attempt to stop.
Don't drink and drive, don't drive and drink.
Even if you can be lucky for a while, eventually the price must be paid.
"Name."
"Pei Linhan."
"Age."
"Fifty-four."
"Place of origin."
"A native of Quhe, Hui City... Officer, why are you asking me? You should investigate that young man, daring to drive after drinking, how outrageous!"
Both parties involved in the accident were called to the station.
"Sir, we have to first confirm your situation, right?"
Not surprisingly, police in big cities, with a proper and polite attitude, "How about we still send you for a hospital check-up? You don't have to pay, consider it a free health examination."
"I said no need, why take such advantage. I undergo physicals daily, just had one two months ago."
The man was upright, unconcerned about himself, only focusing on the perpetrator's situation.
"What's your plan for the young man? Fortunately, no serious accident occurred today, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable."
"Sir, are you here in East Sea for tourism?"
The unrelated question made the man somewhat confused.
"Officer, why ask me this?"
"Sir, we said we need to understand the situation."
"What does my coming to East Sea have to do with this? Drinking and driving is trampling on public safety, and it's irresponsible towards oneself!"
The two police exchanged a glance, the meaning behind their eye contact was identical.
This man is not easy to deal with.
"Sir, rest assured about the perpetrator side, we are investigating."
"What is there to investigate? Just use your special tools and let him blow into them."
"The results from such test methods are inaccurate, if it's indeed a DUI, blood test is needed."
Replying with due diligence.
The man didn't make unreasonable demands, understanding, he nodded, "He definitely drove after drinking, he already admitted, no matter how you check it will be the same."
"Then we'll have a car send you back."
