Chapter 1185 Is it possible that I'm just lucky for you?
Jiangning is not far from his hometown, Nancheng. It takes an hour and a half by highway and thirty minutes by high-speed rail.
But now, if he takes the high-speed rail, he still has to go to the high-speed rail station, buy a ticket, wait for the train, and then take a taxi after getting off the train. If you think about it carefully, the time difference isn't that much.
But he couldn't stand waiting like this, so he figured he might as well just drive back!
This time, Lin Mo changed his usual slow driving speed. The journey, which normally takes an hour and a half without traffic jams, was completed twenty minutes earlier.
A little over an hour later, Lin Mo successfully exited the highway.
"Hey Mom, I'm back! Where are you? You've arrived? Where's Dad? I'm glad you're okay. Send me your location, I'll be there right away!"
After getting off the highway, he immediately called his mother to check on her. When he heard that his father was alright, he was completely relieved. The reason he couldn't get through was because his phone was broken.
But these are minor matters; as long as no one is hurt, that's all that matters.
After exiting the highway, the car slowed down, and Lin Mo headed towards his rural hometown. Less than half an hour later, he saw the accident scene by the roadside.
A large truck was parked on the side of the road. As for his father's car, it was already in the ditch below the road. The car had flipped over, the front was completely smashed, and the body had crashed into a tree on the side of the road, forming a C shape.
The ground was littered with car debris, and there were traffic police and paramedics around.
After parking the car on the side of the road, Lin Mo got out and saw his parents standing there. His father was all smiles, but his mother's eyes were red, clearly frightened.
"Dad, how are you? Are you alright?" Lin Mo walked over and asked quickly.
Upon hearing this, Comrade Lin and his mother Zhou Min both turned their heads.
"Hey, it's nothing. Look at me, your dad is perfectly fine. It's just a minor scratch, but it gave your mom quite a fright and even made her bring you back," Dad Li Junmin said with a laugh.
Lin Mo walked closer and looked at his father carefully. He found that there was only a little skin on his arm. He was relieved and smiled, "My father was in a car accident, so of course I had to come back. Besides, my mother was worried about you. Otherwise, why would she call me?"
"What's going on here, Dad? You're such a veteran driver, you've been driving for so many years and never had an accident!"
"Hey, when you're down on your luck, even drinking cold water can cause problems. Well, that's just how it is!" Old Lin laughed.
After listening to Lao Lin's account, Lin Mo finally understood the whole story. In short, his old house in his hometown was still in the renovation stage. Lao Lin wasn't too busy with work these days, so he would take some time to come over every day. Today was no exception, but on his way back, he encountered the legendary "two ghosts knocking on the door."
Two large trucks were coming from the opposite direction. Everyone was queuing up and passing each other peacefully. However, the truck behind insisted on overtaking at a bend, and when it came out, the two trucks were side by side. Just then, his father's car slowly drove over. The road was not wide, and there was no way to avoid it, so they crashed into each other.
Although his father's car was blessed with the power of the Machine Soul, the most basic physics still had to be followed. No matter how much the Machine Soul was blessed, it was still no match for the kinetic energy of a big truck, so his car flew out.
"I was so scared, really. I felt like my mind was racing. I almost didn't see your grandma."
"I didn't expect our little car to be so tough. It didn't fall apart. Although it looks terrible, your dad was fine inside," Old Lin said with a lingering sense of dread.
Upon hearing this, Lin Mo rolled his eyes at him. It wasn't that his car was tough; it was his mechanical soul, Great Joy, that was working its magic. Otherwise, his over ten-year-old antique car would have disintegrated on the spot.
"You're still laughing? You run back every day. Now look what's happened! What's the point of going back to that house every day? Why do you even bother going back?" Zhou Min, the mother, complained from the side.
Comrade Lin disagreed, saying, "How is it useless? When I'm watching them, they'll be more careful. What if they lay the floor tiles crookedly?"
My son worked so hard to earn money to renovate our old house, so I have to help keep an eye on it!
"You're so sure of yourself. By the way, son, did you talk to Yanyan yet? If not, you should go back later. Your dad's fine," Zhou Min said. The old man was alright; they couldn't hold their son back. After all, delaying their son's dating prospects meant delaying their daughter-in-law's marriage!
Hearing this, Lin Mo glanced at the time on his phone: "No need, she'll be here soon."
"Oh? Yanyan's here too?"
"Otherwise, I'll have to tell her when I get back, and she'll say she wants to come too!" Lin Mo said.
Hearing this, Mom sighed and said, "Won't that interfere with their work?"
"Don't worry, it's nothing! Also, could you please stop smiling like that when you sigh? It looks so fake!" Lin Mo said speechlessly.
He was hit as soon as he finished speaking.
"Get lost! I'm just happy to hear that Yanyan is coming!" said Zhou Min, the mother.
Upon hearing this, Old Lin, who was standing nearby, quickly said, "It's my fault. If I had crashed earlier, your daughter-in-law would have come back to see you long ago!"
Lin Mo:
Zhou Min:
If Liu Ruyan hadn't been there, she would have known who Lin Mo's abstract nature came from.
The family of three didn't argue with the truck driver. The facts were clear, and what had happened was done. Let them deal with the insurance company and the traffic police.
Soon after, a Maybach pulled over, and Liu Ruyan got out of the car.
Before Lin Mo could even speak, his mother rushed forward.
"Oh dear, Yanyan, what brings you here again!"
"Yes, Auntie. Is Uncle alright?"
"It's okay, it's okay, I'm fine!"
As Liu Ruyan walked in, she saw that Comrade Lin was completely unharmed, but noticed a small scratch on his arm and said, "Uncle, although it looks fine, you should still go to the hospital for a check-up, just in case there's any hidden injury!"
"Okay, okay, I'll go in a bit. Thank you for making the long trip!" Comrade Lin said with a smile.
Liu Ruyan waved her hand repeatedly in response.
Soon, the scene was mostly cleared up. Comrade Lin got into the ambulance and went directly to the hospital for a check-up. The three of them followed in their own cars, and their totaled cars were towed away.
As for the driver and the insurance company, the traffic police are handling the division of responsibility and discussing compensation, so there's no need for them at all.
At 4:30 p.m., the group of four returned home. Old Lin sat down on the sofa and laughed, "I told you it was alright. This car is lucky for me. It's just a pity that this old buddy is finally retiring!"
Hearing this, Lin Mo said helplessly from the side, "Dad, is it possible that I'm just lucky for you?"
