The car was hit hard, and Song Lan was thrown forward violently.
Still shaken, Bai Ge slammed on the brakes. Once the car stopped, Bai Ge, panting heavily, turned to Song Lan with a pounding heart, "Are you alright?"
Turning his head, before he could even look at Song Lan, he saw Zhang Lin in the passenger seat with his face covered in blood.
Bai Ge trembled violently in fright, " Zhang Lin, you..."
Zhang Lin held his nose with one hand and waved to Bai Ge with the other, "It's okay, it's okay, I'm fine. I bumped my nose, it's just a nosebleed, don't be afraid."
Bai Ge breathed a sigh of relief and then turned to look at Song Lan.
Song Lan had recovered from her initial shock and spoke before Bai Ge Bai Ge could, asking, "Are you alright?"
Bai Ge shook his head, and seeing that Song Lan was alright, he went to look at Zhang Lin's assistant.
The assistant turned pale with fright, trembling, "I was so scared! What's going on with this van? How did it suddenly come up here?"
As long as everyone is alright.
Bai Ge breathed a sigh of relief, took a tissue and handed it to Zhang Lin, "You wipe yourself first."
Song Lan and Zhang Lin have special identities, and getting out of the car might cause unnecessary trouble. Bai Ge tossed a tissue to Zhang Lin, unbuckled her seatbelt, and got out of the car.
"I'll go see what's going on too." Zhang Lin's assistant quickly opened the car door and got out.
The van driver also got out of the vehicle.
A burly man in his thirties got out of the car and yelled at Bai Ge, "Can't you drive?! Can't you see how big my car is? Are you looking to die? Try to ram my car!"
As the burly man spoke, he shoved Bai Ge, shouting, "What kind of car is a female driver driving?!"
Bai Ge is, after all, a girl.
As an agent, when she was fighting for resources for Song Lan in her early years, and now when she is doing public relations for Song Lan, although she is fierce, she is only fierce in her head and mouth. In the end, she can't withstand the shoving of strong men.
Song Lan couldn't just stand by and do nothing.
He put on a mask, yanked open the car door and got out. The instant the burly man reached for Bai Ge, he grabbed his wrist to stop him, simultaneously shielding Bai Ge behind him. His cold voice was laced with anger, "We were driving normally, you were going the wrong way."
The burly man sized Song Lan up and down, then roared, "Never mind whether I'm going the wrong way or not! Look at my car coming, don't you know to give way? So what if I'm going the wrong way? You think you can just run me over? You think you're so great just because you have money!"
This is clearly an unreasonable scoundrel.
Bai Ge didn't want to argue with him here.
If they make a scene, it will attract a crowd, which will be detrimental to them.
To avoid further trouble, Bai Ge said, "How much does this repair cost? We'll compensate you..."
"Pah!" The burly man flung Song Lan's hand away from his wrist and spat. "You snobbish bastard, would I try to extort money from you? When the traffic police arrive, they'll determine responsibility. If it's my fault, I'll pay; if it's yours, you pay. Do you think I'd stoop to your money? Just because you have money doesn't mean you can do whatever you want!"
It will take at least ten to thirty minutes for the traffic police to arrive.
But the other party was clearly adamant and did not want to settle out of court.
Bai Ge pushed Song Lan into the car, saying, "Get in and wait. I'm calling the police."
There's no other way.
We can only wait.
Song Lan texted Jiang Mingxi after getting in the car. "[I'll be arriving about an hour late.]"
Bai Ge called the police and said to Zhang Lin, "Call your agent and have him come pick you up. We'll have to wait a while."
Zhang Lin plugged his bleeding nostrils with a piece of paper and said apologetically, "It's all my fault. If you hadn't been there to deliver me, you wouldn't have had to come out through this opening."
As he spoke, Zhang Lin turned to look at Song Lan.
Song Lan looked down at her phone and ignored him.
Bai Ge laughed and said, "Why blame you? That driver was driving recklessly. Luckily, no one is hurt. Don't think too much about it. Call your agent and have him pick you up. Go to the event."
Before Song Lan could look up, Zhang Lin clenched his fist and nodded, "Okay, I'll make the call right now."
As soon as the call went through, his agent said urgently on the other end, " Linlin, is it convenient for Teacher Song to give you a ride? I'm being followed by stalkers, I need to shake them off first."
He shouted quite loudly; everyone in the quiet carriage could hear him.
Zhang Lin glanced at Bai Ge and quickly said, "We've had a minor car accident here."
"Oh? Is he alright?!" his manager asked anxiously.
Zhang Lin said, "The person is alright, but they can't leave right now; we have to wait for the traffic police to arrive."
The agent breathed a sigh of relief. "Wait a bit, I'll shake off the stalkers and come pick you up right away. I'll call the event organizers first to explain the situation; we'll be a little later."
After hanging up the phone, Zhang Lin said helplessly, "My agent can't come for the time being either, so we might have to finish here first."
Bai Ge sighed and whispered a few words to Zhang Lin about illegitimate children.
Song Lan sat in the back row, checking her phone every now and then. Jiang Mingxi hadn't replied to the message she sent.
Where are they?
What are you doing?
Remembering what Jiang Mingxi said yesterday, that she would give him something delicious to eat today...
Song Lan ran her fingers over her phone screen, feeling that the wait was far too long.
Unable to contain himself, Song Lan immediately initiated a video call with Jiang Mingxi.
As soon as the video call started, the other three people in the car immediately looked towards Song Lan.
Bai Ge chuckled and teased Song Lan, "Our Teacher Song is in such a hurry to go on her date, and she's already running into trouble on her first date. She's so anxious!"
Zhang Lin's eyes darkened slightly; he didn't want to respond to Bai Ge's words.
Once he asked, the matter became clear.
He didn't want the matter to become clear.
But since Bai Ge had already said it, it wouldn't be appropriate for him not to ask. Suppressing his emotions, he looked at Song Lan and smiled, "Who is Brother Song Lan calling?"
Before Song Lan could speak, the call was connected.
In the video.
Jiang Mingxi, wearing an apron and holding a shovel, had a smile on her face and bright, surprised eyes. " Teacher Song, you've arrived already?"
Looking at the person on the screen, Song Lan's expression softened. "No, something came up on the way, so I'll be a little late, about an hour. I just sent you a message, but you didn't see it."
Jiang Mingxi chuckled, "Is Teacher Song reporting this to me?"
His voice was clear and sweet, with a hint of coquettishness.
Song Lan's voice was muffled, "Mmm."
Zhang Lin's assistant looked at Zhang Lin.
Zhang Lin's face bore an unnatural smile.
The assistant, feeling sorry for him, hesitated for a moment before saying in a moderate tone, " Linlin, is your nosebleed better? Do you need another tissue?"
Zhang Lin immediately looked at his assistant.
The two looked at each other, Zhang Lin paused for a moment before saying naturally, "It's nothing."
Jiang Mingxi overheard these two sentences of conversation.
With a slight raise of his eyebrows, Zhang Lin was in Song Lan's car?
Before Jiang Mingxi could ask, Song Lan said, "He was attending an event in Yun City and happened to be staying at the same hotel as me. This morning, he was blocked at the door by obsessive fans, so Bai Ge and I brought him out..."
Song Lan explained it to Jiang Mingxi in such detail.
Zhang Lin felt as if someone had stabbed him in the chest with a knife.
