Chapter 13: Please, Don’t Act on Impulse!

“What did you say?”

For a moment, Ren Liuguang thought he must have misheard. What did the girl opposite just say? She wanted him to call her “grandma”?

Jiang Muyu frowned slightly. “Didn’t you hear me just now? I said, if you call me ‘grandma,’ I might reluctantly save your life.”

How could these people not understand what she was saying?

Ren Liuguang was infuriated, glaring fiercely at the two on the screen.

“Xiaoyumao, right? You claim to be related to Jiang Muqing, but I’ve never seen you. Probably some distant relative nobody knows about, right?

“You must have heard that the Jiang family has fallen and is bankrupt now. And you still dare to offend me? Believe it or not, one word from me and you won’t be able to stay in Jing City!”

Jiang Muyu shook her head. “I don’t believe you.”

—[Hahaha, why does the person on the other side sound so juvenile? ‘Thank you’ sounds like they’re mentally ill.]

—[I just looked up Ren Liuguang. He’s the eldest young master of the Guangyao Group!]

—[What? Seriously?]

—[Look at his verified profile, how could it be fake?]

—[So what if he’s rich? No manners is no manners — does that mean he can’t be called out?]

—[Fits my stereotype of a second-generation rich kid…]

Ren Liuguang was about to explode with anger at Jiang Muyu’s attitude. He downed his drink in one gulp, swayed to his feet, and said, “Just wait! I’m coming over right now! Just wait!”

Jiang Muyu glanced at the time and feigned reluctance. “Isn’t it a bit much? It’s so late already. What if something happens to you? That would be such a pity…”

“Just wait!” Ren Liuguang clenched his phone as he left. The scene shifted as he moved.

His female companion anxiously tried to stop him. “Young Master Ren, you’ve been drinking. You can’t drive!”

“Get lost!” Ren Liuguang brushed her aside roughly, cursing under his breath. “Who do you think you are? Get lost!”

Jiang Muyu reminded calmly, “Sisters on the other side, some people are just courting death. You can’t stop them.”

A clear female voice came from the phone. The woman was stunned, recalling what her friend had said when sharing the livestream.

‘Those lottery tickets were handed out by the female host, saying that scratching them would bring bad luck. Those two men didn’t listen and died right after stepping outside!’

Ren Liuguang had drunk heavily today, his mind muddled, unaware of the woman’s expression beside him.

Once again, Jiang Muyu’s words enraged him. Clutching his phone, he staggered toward the door.

“Courting death? I’ll show you who’s courting death! I’ll break Jiang Muqing’s arms too! And you! I’ll play you to death!”

He stepped out of the bar, opened the door of a nearby car, and slid into the driver’s seat.

Watching this unfold, viewers in the livestream erupted:

—[Isn’t this drunk driving?]

—[No way, is he really that bold? Threatening people on a livestream and driving drunk?]

—[@InternetPolice @JingCityTraffic, get up and do your job!]

—[Is this guy manic? He’s terrifying…]

—[Xiaoyumao, is he coming for you? You should call the police!]

—[Money doesn’t give you the right to do anything? @JingCityTraffic @JingCityPolice.]

Jiang Muyu ignored the chat messages, muted her microphone, and turned to ask Jiang Muqing about the man.

“Was your car accident related to him?”

Jiang Muqing pressed his lips and said nothing.

Jiang Muyu nodded. “So it’s related.”

As she turned, Jiang Muqing finally spoke, “You shouldn’t have provoked him today.”

He looked into Jiang Muyu’s eyes and continued, “Like he said, the Jiang family is now just an empty shell. We have nothing left. One word from him and he can crush us…”

If Ren Liuguang came looking for them, they might not even be able to keep this house.

Jiang Muyu didn’t like hearing this. “What’s ‘nothing left’? I’m still here. With me around, can we still be bullied?”

Jiang Muqing was speechless.

Maybe, as Hu Feng said, this girl wasn’t ordinary, but she definitely had some issues.

She looked younger than him but kept calling herself 'grandma.' He’d have to investigate later to see who sent her here.

The Jiang family had already fallen this far, and they still wouldn’t let up?

When Jiang Muyu looked back at the screen, Ren Liuguang had been driving for a while. His eyes were glazed, and his arms gripping the wheel seemed weak.

She took a deep breath and put on a worried expression.

“Ren Liuguang, you’re driving drunk. You’d better stop. What if something happens on the road? You can seek revenge anytime, but don’t risk your life!”

But the more Jiang Muyu spoke, the more confused Ren Liuguang’s alcohol-fueled mind became.

---

“You’re scared now? Too late! Just wait and see how I kill you!”

He sped up, the scenery outside the window flying past so fast it was visible on the livestream.

—[Xiaoyumao is so reasonable, still trying to reason with him…]

—[Even when scratching the lottery tickets, Xiaoyumao warned them repeatedly, but those two didn’t listen and courted death. Xiaoyumao even helped him think of solutions.]

—[Stop advising the guy. People like him deserve a car accident.]

—[Is this guy crazy? Has anyone called the cops?]

—[Poor Xiaoyumao, sob…]

Jiang Muyu was pleased with the comments; these people served as witnesses.

She didn’t know if anyone else had called the police, but she already had. The young cop she met last time was reliable.

She continued her concern, “Babies, although he’s rude and uncivilized, I’m really worried something might happen to him…”

Jiang Muqing, sitting in a wheelchair behind her, was speechless.

He was sure this girl was a drama queen. She had been all fierce moments ago, and now she was playing the victim.

And those viewers actually believed her.

At the police station.

Officer Tao Zizhan received a message from the command center: there had been a fatal car accident outside a lottery store in their jurisdiction, and two officers were needed to assist the traffic police.

Tao Zizhan was driving over when he received another message about a drunk driver who was about to commit a crime. They needed to intercept immediately.

“Copy that…”

Everyone else’s shifts were usually quiet; why did so many incidents happen when he was on duty?

Heading to intercept the vehicle, it wasn’t far. Tao Zizhan quickly spotted the target car and verified the information before speeding up.

It was late and the road still had other vehicles. The speeding car made the chase difficult.

“The light’s red. Can we catch up? Captain, should I use the siren?”

Before Tao Zizhan could answer, he saw the car run the red light, with a pedestrian pushing a shared bike right ahead…
