Chapter 167

No, Lin Meng definitely has a problem; I have to tell Mom and Dad and get them to come over!

Lin Qianqian realized that every time she confronted Lin Meng, she ended up at a disadvantage, so this time she wants Mom and Dad to come over and have them, as elders, find a way to restrain Lin Meng.

Who would have thought, as soon as Lin Qianqian finished speaking, she was met with strong opposition from Lin Haocheng.

I disagree!

If Mom and Dad came and found out his business had failed, that he'd squandered all the money they gave him and still owed a lot he couldn't repay, what would happen then?

Seeing her brother react so strongly, and thinking back to how he'd been wandering around lately, not acting like a boss, a bad idea popped into Lin Qianqian's head.

Brother, tell me the truth—are you not doing well?

……

As the sky grew dim, Ye Chenjing's car finally appeared at the island villa.

Lin Meng had just finished watching a drama, saw Ye Chenjing return, and hurried out to find him.

How's your leg? Did you finish the medicinal pills I gave you this time?

Lin Meng's voice suddenly rang out in front of the garage; Ye Chenjing immediately shut the car door and nodded at her with a smile.

Of course, I took them—I had Dr. Wang evaluate again, and my leg injury is completely healed with no aftereffects.

Actually, Dr. Wang's evaluation isn't needed; he can feel it himself.

Today, when he appeared at the company, many senior executives who knew he'd been in a serious car accident were shocked; public opinion would be hard to suppress, and tomorrow related reports might flood society like a tide.

Another reason he came back so late today was that he was holding an emergency meeting to discuss how to handle PR for this matter.

Trying to completely suppress public opinion is nearly impossible.

A severe car‑accident victim with a comminuted leg fracture would hardly be expected to recover; after major surgery, to be completely unharmed the next day, as if the accident never happened, would definitely draw intense attention.

Ye Chenjing had consulted Lin Meng's opinion; he had originally planned to pretend to be ill for a while and stay home completely, but Lin Meng said there was no need—since his injury was healed, he should just get on with things.

Ye Chenjing also understood that he couldn't pretend to be lame forever; someday the truth would come out.

Hearing this, Lin Meng walked forward, saw that Ye Chenjing seemed preoccupied, thought of something, and couldn't help but say:

What's up? Did you scare your employees by showing up at the company completely unharmed today?

Ye Chenjing gave a faint smile; he now seemed accustomed to showing all his expressions in front of Lin Meng.

He hummed in acknowledgment and said:

Tomorrow I might end up on the front‑page headlines.

Lin Meng laughed heartily and teased him.

For you, Ye Chenjing, making the headlines is probably just daily fare; your profile is already quite high.

Ye Chenjing looked at Lin Meng and said in a solemn tone:

At the hospital, besides Dr. Wang, no one else will know about your situation; as for Dr. Wang, his character is decent, he keeps his mouth shut, and he's trustworthy—so even if public opinion runs rampant, it will never be directed at you.

If that day ever comes, he will surely spare no effort to protect her.

Lin Meng, on the other hand, isn't too worried; she now has some means of self‑protection.

Moreover, she doesn't intend to keep hiding these beyond‑modern resources forever; she'll deal with it when the time comes.

Don't worry—just watch; when the time comes, everyone's attention will still be focused solely on you, and no one will think there's any medicinal pill involved.

They'll surely think that rich people are just different—able to recover instantly from an injury—and maybe speculate that there really is some barrier between ordinary people and true tycoons, some resources they can't access.

……

The next day, public opinion indeed surged like a flood, with all major mainstream media reporting on Ye Chenjing's affair.

Each item was richly illustrated, not only with on‑scene accident photos but even with pictures of Ye Chenjing covered in blood.

The first‑person footage that leaked from those short videos, though somewhat chaotic, still made the accident scene visible—a sight too horrible to bear.

Lin Meng was also seeing that gruesome scene for the first time; when she saw Ye Chenjing lying in a pool of blood with his eyes tightly shut, her heart felt as if it had been fiercely clenched.

But soon Lin Meng noticed something odd.

That day, there were three people in the car—the driver and Sun Yao were present, yet it was the boss seated in the rear who suffered the worst injuries, while the two in the driver's and front‑passenger seats only had minor scrapes!

How could this be?

Because Ye Chenjing was already fine, Lin Meng's attention shifted elsewhere.

As for public opinion, just as Lin Meng had guessed, most onlookers marveled that wealth is good—suffering such a severe injury yet healing this quickly.

——One has stumbled into the realm of the heavenly household; it seems the rich are truly hard to kill, and no one knows exactly how they do it.

——Perhaps it only looked serious; maybe it was just excessive blood loss? After all, the driver and the other passenger in the car were unharmed.

——This is Ye Chenjing, heir of the Ye Group, a god‑like figure; he certainly can access medical resources far beyond what ordinary people can reach.

——This is the heavenly household; someday, birth, aging, sickness, and death will cease to exist in their world.

——Nonsense, there's nothing mystical about it; I think it's just that the external wound bled a lot. You all have been reading too many novels.

From start to finish, Lin Meng never appeared in the public‑opinion whirlwind; the matter soon passed like a gust of wind and dispersed.

But public opinion is public opinion; among the few who knew the truth in this incident, they had already begun to doubt life.

Together with Fang Fang and Huang Ziming, the five divine physicians had all personally examined Ye Chenjing's leg injury at the outset, yet even they were powerless.

Yet in the blink of an eye, Ye Chenjing was walking as if the wind, with no trace of injury visible.

To them, this was nothing short of terrifying—even more so than a miracle.

The Fang Family—Fang Fang stared at the public‑opinion news in a daze.

At that moment, Fang Siyao walked in.

Grandma, were you looking for me?

Fang Fang came to her senses, waved for Fang Siyao to sit, and then asked eagerly:

Siyao, please recount once again your visit to the Ye Family that day, focusing on Ye Xiangrong's condition and his reaction when he received the medicinal pill.

Fang Siyao, though puzzled upon hearing this, still repeated what had happened that day; of course, this account still contained much dislike for Lin Meng.

After saying that, Fang Siyao looked at the computer in front of Fang Fang, thought for a moment, and asked:

"Grandma, is Ye Chenjing's leg injury truly completely healed? Even you and the other few divine doctors couldn't do anything—how did he manage to heal his leg?"

Fang Siyao's thoughts became active again, but Fang Fang snapped back to reality and gave her a fierce glare.

"Don't forget what I told you—there's no chance left for you and the Ye Family; give up these thoughts early, tomorrow you'll go on a blind date with the young master of the Dong Family!"

After scolding Fang Siyao, Fang Fang fell into deep thought again.

The Ye Family must have a powerful expert behind them.
