Chapter 712: He Won’t Earn This Money Anymore!

The driver glanced up, noticing Lin Ran entering with a group of individuals. He paused, furrowing his brow. “Who are they?”

“You’re not familiar with us?” Gu Yang approached, raising a brow.

Impatiently, the driver retorted, “No clue. Who are you?”

“You’re not being entirely truthful. When you looked up, your gaze unconsciously fixated on me and my sister. If we were strangers, you’d have looked to Lin Ran first.”

Gu Yang halted before the driver, her gaze piercing and unwavering, akin to a clear mirror reflecting truth.

After a moment’s silence, the driver’s lips curled into a wretched smile. “Miss, you’re naive. Don’t you know men are easily drawn to young, beautiful women?”

“Besides, you seem familiar. Perhaps I’ve seen you in online videos. Are you some sort of internet sensation?”

Feng Jue’s demeanor chilled slightly.

Gu Yang rebutted, “Still lying. Even if you’re unfamiliar with us, you could deduce our identities since we’re here. Your feigned ignorance suggests guilt, doesn’t it?”

Enraged and humiliated, the driver’s expression hardened. “Who cares who you are?”

“The person who instructed you to target us must have provided photos of me and my sister, correct?” Gu Yang fixed her gaze on the driver, then gestured between herself and Gu Jin. “I am Gu Jin, and she is Gu Yang.”

Confusion flickered in the driver’s eyes, leaving him momentarily stunned.

Lin Ran, perplexed, interjected, “Sister, are you sure about this?”

A subtle shift crossed the driver’s face as realization dawned. Impatiently, he snapped, “I don’t care who you are. I’ve told you—it wasn’t intentional. Blame it on the car! Just because your Gu family’s wealthy doesn’t give you the right to point fingers!”

Gu Yang chuckled softly. “If you truly didn’t recognize us, why the momentary confusion earlier? Your micro-expressions betray you.”

The driver grew irritable. “I don’t have time for games with a little girl like you.”

Gu Yang’s demeanor remained composed as she continued, “Considering the speed at which your vehicle approached us, your actions amount to attempted murder. And causing severe injuries carries penalties akin to those for intentional homicide.”

“If the Gu family secures adept legal representation, your sentence could exceed ten years, even life imprisonment. Ever heard of Qiu Baizhou? How many years do you think he could pin on you?”

The driver erupted, “I didn’t intend to kill anyone!”

“You merely intended to inflict minor injuries or intimidate us, perhaps to influence our college entrance exams, correct?”

“In that case, even if deemed intentional, the sentence for causing harm wouldn’t surpass three years for the offense of deliberate injury.”

“However, you couldn’t have foreseen the car’s loss of control, resulting in severe injuries to my mother, nearly claiming her life.”

“Do you grasp that the compensation you received from the individual who instigated this act equates to more than a decade behind bars?”

Gu Yang’s smile widened, directed at the driver.

Clearly taken aback, the driver hesitated before retorting, “Everyone’s been saying it was the car’s fault. How is that on me? Who are you to dictate an intentional murder charge?”

Gu Yang maintained her smile. “But didn’t you just acknowledge it? We’re from a wealthy background.”

She glanced at Lin Ran, arching a brow. “You’re familiar with the collusion between officials and businesses, aren’t you? We could easily ensure you receive a sentence exceeding ten years. It’s merely a matter of finances, isn’t it?”

Lin Ran’s grin took on a sinister edge. “Everything’s negotiable for the right price.”

The driver was utterly bewildered.

This wasn’t what he had anticipated!

Initially, when the car veered out of control, he’d panicked. Then, he’d felt a surge of relief—blaming the car manufacturer seemed plausible!

But the revelation of collusion between officials and merchants threw him off guard.

Gu Yang and Lin Ran’s theatrics left him unsettled.

If indeed officials and businessmen conspired against him, wouldn’t spending a decade in prison outweigh the payoff from a three-year stint?

“I believe we’ll leave it at that. After all, the mastermind doesn’t seem intent on taking our lives. Investigating further seems unnecessary. Letting this culprit face over a decade behind bars should assuage my mother’s fury,” Gu Yang remarked, turning to depart as she conferred with Lin Ran.

Lin Ran nodded. “Sure, sure. Let’s talk numbers!”

Panic surged through the driver. “It’s the Gu family!”

Damn it, this deal wasn’t worth it anymore!
