Lee Ji-eun then spoke up, explaining, "Please don't misunderstand, everyone. This was really an accident. We were also quite startled just now."
John's car suddenly went out of control, which no one expected.
Not to mention, we arrived more than an hour ago and had no idea you were here too.
As she spoke, she glanced at her companion beside her.
The others nodded in agreement, saying, "It was indeed an accident. Let's not let this misunderstanding ruin our harmony."
Lee Ji-eun walked forward feigning concern, her face plastered with a worried expression, and said softly to Xia Lin, "Xia Lin, where are you hurt? Please check quickly, is it alright?"
If needed, we'll take you to the hospital together.
As she spoke, she reached out to pull Charlene's arm, her gesture seemingly concerned, yet subtly carrying an undeniable air of assertiveness.
Xia Lin, who was leaning against Shi Ye and whose face was still a little pale, instinctively shrank back slightly when she saw Li Zhi En reach out her hand.
Shino immediately sensed her unease, and firmly put his arm around her waist, pulling her back half a step.
He subtly avoided Lee Ji-eun's touch.
His voice was calm and distant as he said to Lee Ji-eun indifferently, "No need for Miss Lee to trouble herself, I will take care of her myself."
However, I will have someone investigate whether tonight's incident was an accident or not.
After speaking, Shi Ye quickly made brief arrangements to his colleagues.
His voice was steady and powerful, "Ah Xu, please stay here and help investigate the scene. Don't overlook any details and find out what happened."
I'll take her to the hospital first.
The colleagues nodded in agreement, indicating that they would handle the matter seriously.
Shi Ye immediately bent down and carefully lifted the already somewhat weak Xia Lin into his arms.
His movements were gentle yet urgent; clearly, he only wanted to get her away from here as soon as possible and get her to the hospital.
Just then, John stepped forward, trying to stop Tokino.
However, Shino didn't give him a chance, taking a long stride and directly bumping into his hand.
John could only say to Tokino's retreating figure, "Since I am also a party to this matter, I bear some responsibility both morally and logically."
Ji-eun, could you please run this for me?
If there are any medical expenses that need to be paid, please pay them for me in advance.
Lee Ji-eun immediately nodded in agreement and said without hesitation, "Okay, I'll go right away."
She then quickly caught up and said, "I'll go with you."
Shi Ye didn't even turn his head, coldly tossing out a sentence, "No need, just stay away from us."
Lee Ji-eun's face showed some embarrassment, but she bit her lip and insisted, "I'm sorry, I was asked to do this. I will leave once I confirm that Xia Lin is alright and there are results."
Then, she sighed helplessly, her tone tinged with grievance and confusion, "Shi Ye, why are you so hostile towards me? It's not like I hit Xia Lin, I care about her too!"
Charlene almost burst out laughing when she heard these words.
Does she care about herself?
I should be thankful that she didn't harm herself!
They're still putting on airs here! Utterly disgusting.
The more she thought about it, the more unlucky she felt. She must have forgotten to check the almanac before going out today, because she could still run into annoying people, like haunting ghosts!
The more Lee Ji-eun tried to get closer, the more unwilling and disgusted Xia Lin became.
She immediately suggested, "Brother Shi Ye, shall we go straight to Brother Yan Jue's research institute?"
Tokino immediately agreed, "Okay."
If she goes to Yen-j's place, Lee Ji-eun won't be able to get in, so she won't have to worry about Yen-j continuing to pester her.
The two quickly got into the car and left the club.
Lee Ji-eun watched helplessly as the two of them got into the car, finding herself unable to move forward or backward.
She bit her lip, but decided to drive after them herself.
As she slowly started the car, she pondered the matter repeatedly in her mind.
In the previous designs, I was too hasty and ended up making things worse. Now I'm really annoyed with myself.
She couldn't keep pressing forward like this and expose her true intentions.
Instead of forcing it, let's try a different approach.
So next, she needs to show Shino her gentle, considerate, and understanding side.
This completely reversed his perception of himself, giving him a new understanding of himself.
She needs to stay calm and not let her public image collapse again.
Thinking of this, Lee Ji-eun's gaze hardened, she gripped the steering wheel tightly, and followed their car from a distance.
She had made up her mind that no matter where they went or what their attitude was, she would follow them to the end.
Even if they are given the cold shoulder and made things difficult by the two, they will not back down.
……
At this moment, at the scene of the racing accident, Shino's colleagues are already investigating the specific circumstances.
Preliminary inspections revealed that John's race car's braking system did indeed have an abnormality.
As previously speculated, there is no direct evidence to conclude that this was intentionally caused.
John, with an expression of utter indifference and even a hint of provocation, retorted, "So, what did you find out?"
My colleague frowned.
He stared at John and said in a low voice, "John, we've all seen that you like Lee Ji-eun a long time ago. Nobody's blind."
You're quite generous, watching her leave with Shi Ye just to let her have her way.
You're really amazing! You can even easily give up matters of the heart.
But you don't think this is good for Lee Ji-eun, do you?
Perhaps you don't understand our Shi Ye at all. He hates those who are scheming and manipulative.
Lee Ji-eun's previous petty actions and maneuvers were already enough to make him extremely disgusted.
Instead of wasting your time playing these underhanded tricks with her, you should put more effort into finding a legitimate way to win her over.
In this way, at least she is better than him, who repeatedly runs into obstacles in front of Shi Ye and makes a fool of himself.
In the end, isn't she the one who gets hurt? You'll feel bad too.
At this point, his colleague's tone suddenly turned cold as he continued, "And... before this, I always respected your strength and courage on the field. You were like a lone wolf, strong and fierce, making all your opponents fear you."
But now, your behavior truly makes us, your colleagues, feel ashamed!
Upon hearing this, John did not reflect on his words but instead let out a mocking laugh.
In his heart, nothing is more important than Lee Ji-eun's happiness.
He would do everything he could to get her what she wanted.
Therefore, he glanced coldly at the person who spoke, his tone full of contempt, "Shi Ye has kept a group of loyal lackeys around him."
He monopolizes all the club's resources and opportunities, yet you still fawn over him so devotedly?
He paused, his voice becoming increasingly shrill, "So, if a person kneels for too long, they can never stand up again, is that right?"
"Being overshadowed by a newcomer, don't you even have the slightest thought of picking yourselves up?"
