"Ahhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!"
"A car accident!!! Call an ambulance quickly!"
"He's crazy! Call the police immediately, stop that car, don't let him escape!!!"
"........"
As countless screams rang out, the drunken madness in Lin Jianjun faded slightly. Looking at the pedestrians he had hit and sent flying, he finally realized the grave disaster he had caused.
Run!!!
At this moment, only one thought remained in Lin Jianjun's mind.
He jerked the steering wheel and slammed on the gas pedal. The car roared as it sped off.
However, due to the previous collision, the brakes had failed. The car lost control and crashed directly into the roadside barrier. Black smoke rose from the hood as the engine shut down completely.
"This is insane! Was that car trying to take revenge on society?"
"No, that drunk stole someone else's car and drove recklessly, causing this tragedy!"
"Damn! Drunk driving + car theft + accident—he's definitely done for this time. I wonder how many years he'll get?"
"Isn't this exactly what he deserves?! Those two female students are the real victims—completely innocent! Their families will now have to endure the unbearable pain of losing their children."
"Enough talk! Call an ambulance now! They might still be saved, but if we delay any longer, even the Gods won't be able to help them!!!"
The tragic accident immediately drew the attention of everyone around.
A large crowd gathered by the roadside, discussing the incident, calling the police, summoning an ambulance, helping the injured, and recording videos…
Some people, unable to suppress their anger, furiously dragged Lin Jianjun out of the driver's seat.
"Do you even know what the hell you're doing?! If you want to be a drunk lunatic, do it at home! Why the hell are you acting crazy on the road?!"
"Go crazy if you want, but why steal a car and run people over?! Those were two lives!!!"
"And what about my new car? I worked so hard to save up for the down payment! You wrecked it in an instant—pay up! Pay me now!!!"
"You animal! It's not just those two female students lying in a pool of blood—you injured so many people! Just wait to face the full force of the law!"
SLAP! SLAP! SLAP!!!
Some furious citizens couldn't control themselves and landed several consecutive slaps on Lin Jianjun's face, making him see stars.
"Y-you... why are you hitting me?"
After coming back to his senses, Lin Jianjun covered his swollen face, feeling guilty inside but still making excuses for his actions.
"I didn't hit them on purpose! It's their fault for not moving when they saw the car coming!"
"Let me go! If you hit me again, I'll call the police!"
"Fine, I'll just pay compensation! A human life is at most 200,000 yuan, right? I'll give their families 500,000 each, or even a million if that's not enough!"
"My son has so much money—he can't even spend it all! Hahaha…"
Reeking of alcohol, Lin Jianjun made arrogant remarks while struggling to break free from the crowd's grasp.
His outrageous words instantly sparked mass fury, and countless onlookers turned red with anger.
"Listen to him! Everyone, listen! Is this something a human being should say?!"
"Calling him a beast is an insult to beasts! He's the worst of the worst!!!"
"Damn, he's too arrogant! So, what if he has money? Does having money mean he can do whatever he wants?!!"
"If you do something wrong, you have to face the consequences, no matter if your son is a CEO or even the President of the United States! Even if your father was Li Gang, it wouldn't matter, let alone your son!!!"
As the enraged crowd surrounded Lin Jianjun, two elderly couples suddenly rushed out from the roadside, pushing through the crowd. They threw themselves onto the two fallen girls, wailing in grief.
"Yan'er, what's wrong? Wake up! Don't scare your parents like this!!!"
"Xiaohan, sob… you just started university! You have your whole life ahead of you! How could this happen… Please, wake up!"
"My child, my child! If you're gone, how are we supposed to live?!!"
The two elderly couples lay over their daughters' blood-soaked bodies, wailing in despair, nearly breaking down.
The sight of their agony made everyone present feel heartbroken, with many shedding tears.
"Such wonderful girls…"
"They were in the prime of their youth, like blooming flowers… yet they withered and fell due to this man-made disaster…"
Countless bystanders sighed in sorrow, feeling indescribable grief in their hearts.
"And yet, looking at the drunken culprit not far away!"
As the main perpetrator, not only did he show no guilt or remorse, but he shamelessly kept shouting…
"My son has money," "Just name a price," "This isn't my fault, they should've watched where they were going"…
His shameless and outrageous words instantly ignited the collective fury of the crowd.
Countless people took out their phones, turning on their cameras to record and photograph Lin Jianjun, vowing to expose him online and let justice judge him.
"He hit people and is still this arrogant? Is there no damn law? No justice???"
"Everyone, record this! Post it on your WeChat Moments, Douyin, Weibo—everywhere! I refuse to believe that there's no law in China that can punish him!!!"
"Lawlessness, absolute lawlessness!!! Those two girls were so young! We must seek justice for them!"
"You bastard! I don't care who your son is! In China, if you commit a crime, you must pay the price! Power and money mean nothing—justice will prevail!!!"
Click! Click! Click!!!
The continuous sound of camera shutters filled the air, and flashing lights kept hitting Lin Jianjun's face, making his drunken state even more nauseating.
He wanted to push through the angry crowd and get outside for some fresh air.
But he was completely surrounded—layer upon layer of furious people blocking his every move.
"Urgh~~"
Burping from the alcohol, Lin Jianjun finally snapped under the influence of booze. His face twisted in rage as he started yelling:
"Filming?! Who the hell do you think you're filming?! Get lost, all of you!!!"
"So, what if I killed two people? It's not a big deal! People die every second in this world, why are you all acting so worked up?!"
"What do the dead have to do with you? You don't even know them! Why the hell are you meddling? Mind your own business, you nosy idiots!!!"
"My son is the CEO of Su Group, he has tons of money!!! The damaged cars, the dead people—just name your price and ask him for compensation!"
"You bunch of lowlifes! Let me tell you, having money means I can do whatever I want! Whether you like it or not!!!"
"The videos you post online? My son can pay to have them taken down in no time! What can you even do about it?"
"Damn it! Move out of my way! Still filming? Do you want me to kill you? I'll kill you all!!!"
Seeing that his threats had no effect, Lin Jianjun furiously snatched a phone from someone's hand and hurled it into the crowd.
As his mind sobered up slightly, instead of restraining himself, he began throwing punches at the crowd indiscriminately!!!
Lin Jianjun knew very well... today's incident had blown out of proportion...
Given how Lin Xuan had treated him before, not only was he unlikely to help, but he might even seize this opportunity to push him further into ruin.
If that happened… he would become a discarded pawn, doomed to spend the rest of his miserable life rotting in prison.
"How could I let that happen?!"
"How could I accept such a fate, such an ending?!"
"In that case, I might as well escalate the situation even further—so that Lin Xuan would have no choice but to step in and clean up the mess for me…"
"After all, in today's media-driven world, one major scandal could drag the entire company down—stock prices crashing, public image destroyed."
"And what I did today while drunk… was absolutely insane…"
"If the news got out, it would definitely have a massive negative impact on Su Group."
"So even if it's just for the sake of the company, that unfilial son of mine will have no choice but to protect me…"
Thinking this through, Lin Jianjun felt immensely pleased with himself, mentally applauding his own cleverness.
With no more worries weighing him down, he became even more reckless, attacking random people around him.
His sheer arrogance and lawlessness finally pushed the crowd past their breaking point. Countless people clenched their fists so tightly that their knuckles cracked with rage…
