Old Yang, who was about to speak just now, choked and swallowed his words, feeling shocked and a little dazed.

What? His brother-in-law also had a car accident?

Old Yang had a very good relationship with his brother-in-law. As proof of this, he was the first he called after he realized he shouldn’t contact his wife. In Old Yang‘s heart, his brother-in-law was more reliable than his friends.

Old Yang withdrew his own aggrieved thoughts and quickly comforted the other party, “Don’t panic, calm down first, don’t worry about other things, are you injured?”

His brother-in-law let out a long sob, his voice trembling because of the panic. “The airbag deployed, and I was not injured, but the car is wrecked. Some passersby already called the police, and the police will come right away.”

The more he talked, the more flustered he became. After all, he had never been involved in such a big matter before, and instinctively wanted to find someone to accompany him. “Brother-in-law, those policemen won’t arrest me, right? Come here and help me!”

Old Yang’s brother-in-law’s voice was so loud that he didn’t need to be put on speaker—and everyone in the livestream channel could already hear his voice. The audience was very curious when they heard them talking.

[The predestined guest and his brother-in-law got into a car accident at the same time, is it such a coincidence? Is this family’s luck so bad?]

[It’s weird. As soon as Old Yang avoided the accident on his front foot, his brother-in-law told him about his accident on his back foot… I have a bold idea.]

[You mean that his brother-in-law is the owner of the car that crashed just now? How could there be such a coincidence?!]

[Just now the host was lamenting the whims of fate—thinking about it carefully, the host probably already knew it.]

Old Yang glanced at these barrages, and his face grew incredulous. He couldn’t hold back his laughter—he almost forgot his fear from the car accident just now—and took time to reply to the comments.

“What ghost stories are you thinking about now? My brother-in-law used to drive a big truck. He is very skilled at driving. How could he drive like this… unless he was drunk and still drove. But he knows the law and would never do this!”

When the audience who doubted the brother-in-law’s involvement heard what Old Yang said, the doubts in their hearts gradually disappeared, and they felt that they were overthinking things.

However, as soon as Old Yang finished speaking, a stuttering voice came from the phone.

“Brother-in-law, you— how— how do you know I’ve been drinking?”

Old Yang : “???”

Audience:”???”

… …

Old Yang was shocked when he heard the words, and when he came back to his senses, he was furious. “…Are you really driving while drunk? Do you want to die??”

His brother-in-law’s tone was flustered, and if you listen carefully, you can hear in his voice the sound of someone slightly drunk. “Hii~ Today we had a group lunch, and I said before eating that I don’t want to drink, but they started persuading me to drink the moment I got to the table. The leader poured me wine, how could I refuse? If I don’t drink, do I still want to get promoted?”

Old Yang saw that he still didn’t repent, and the jowls on his face trembled with anger. “Then don’t drive! Couldn’t you take the bus?”

The other person heard that his brother-in-law was getting angry, and his voice got lower and lower, obviously very guilty. “It can’t be helped, I was in a hurry. I thought about it and I just drank a little, and there are no traffic police on this road. After I thought that, I went on the road.”

[DON’T DRINK AND DRIVE.]

[A bit of drinking until you have a car accident, obviously it’s more than a little bit, I think it’s a billion bit.]

[Young man is really punished!]

[Don’t drink and drive, don’t drive when drinking, I can only say that he deserved it.]

Old Yang himself runs a restaurant, and he was used to seeing many people who drink and make mistakes.

His temper flared, and he scolded him many times. He scolded him for a long time without repetition, so that the audience in the livestream channel experienced the ‘charm’ quintessential to China.

The brother-in-law was so scolded that he doubted his life, so he had to say aggrievedly, “Don’t scold me, don’t scold me, I know I was wrong, I didn’t hit anyone, the problem is not too big, come and help me first.”

“If you really crashed into someone, your sister would break your leg, and she’ll remove your name from the clan registry.” Old Yang spent a long time calming down, comforting his brother-in-law, and at the same time comforting himself. “Forget it, forget it. It is a blessing in the misfortune that you didn’t hit anyone, I’ll come right over.”

The matter didn’t come to a messy end, so Old Yang had no choice but to pinch his nose and prepare to wipe his brother-in-law’s ass clean.

What else could he do? He could only forgive him.

Old Yang asked, “Then where are you now? I’ll drive directly to you.”

“Wait for me to look at the street signs… Oh, I’m on Wanghu Avenue!”

Old Yang: “???”

Audiences:”???”

[Damn, Old Yang is also on Wanghu Avenue! It is reasonable to suspect that the white car that just hit a tree is his brother-in-law’s car.]

[Be more confident, remove the word ‘suspect’. I just went to search the map, and the Wanghu Avenue there is very short. If there is a car accident in other places, you will definitely hear the commotion.]

Old Yang also realized that something was wrong, so he opened the door of the truck and got down. He walked more than 70 meters to the place where the car accident happened.

The nearby passers-by and merchants had already come over curiously and crowded the place. Old Yang could only squeeze in with his mobile phone, with the camera facing the badly damaged white car.

A man was anxiously talking on the phone beside the white car. The man turned his head just in time, and from the corner of his eye, he caught sight of Old Yang, his eyes lit up, as if he had found a savior.

“Brother-in-law, I’m here! How did you come so fast?”

Old Yang : “…”

The audience in the live broadcast room: “…”

Old Yang was afraid that he would have a heart attack on the spot, so he raised his hand to cover his chest, took a deep breath, and tried his best to suppress his anger and didn’t look at his brother-in-law.

He thought of what An Rugu said just now, and guessed what she meant. It turned out that An Rugu knew that the car that hit him was his brother-in-law’s car!

When Old Yang thought of this, deep fear emerged in his heart. He looked at the camera solemnly, and his tone was extremely respectful. He even changed his title without being prompted. “Master, how serious was my previous bloody disaster? Was it life-threatening?”

His tone was slightly dangerous, as if something was brewing.

An Rugu replied, “It was not life-threatening, but when the accident happened, the passenger seat bore the brunt of the impact. A large part of your right leg turned necrotic, resulting in amputation, and you had to be fitted with a prosthesis.”

“…I understand, thank you Master.”

Old Yang gritted his teeth, if he hadn’t been lucky enough to come to An Rugu’s livestream channel today, he would have been injured like this!

Ignoring his brother-in-law’s yelling in the distance, he gave An Rugu a South Sea Pearl as his thanks.

After talking to An Rugu, he hung up the phone politely, with a truly dark, foreboding look on his face—like the darkness before the storm.

Old Yang didn’t say anything, but some keen viewers realized that he was furious. Although Old Yang seemed to be a kind person, even a rabbit would bite people when it was harried.

An Rugu watched the audience speculate on the 10,000 ways the predestined guest would ‘cook’ his brother-in-law. She recalled the brother-in-law’s face just now. “The owner of the car who caused the accident had three days of prison disaster, and after, suffered a bloody disaster—which was really self-inflicted.”

It was not difficult to guess what An Rugu meant, and the audience immediately understood. The prison disaster should be the detention, the bloody disaster… must have been the teaching by family law.

They immediately felt very happy—people who drink and drive deserve it!

… …

An Rugu picked up the freshly brewed tea, took a sip to moisten her throat, and then chatted privately with the second predestined guest, asking him whether to send photos for divination or video call.

The second predestined guest seemed to be watching the phone all the time, and immediately replied that he could connect to the video call.

Some people were still discussing the brother-in-law drunk-driving incident just now, and some others welcomed the new predestined guest.

[Take it away, the next one!]

[Great injustice, no, someone with a predestined relationship is here hahahaha.]

[Tell us what you are unhappy about, and let us be happy.]

As soon as the video call was connected, three men who looked like students came into view, with beds and tables behind them, as if they were in a dormitory.

The male student closest to the camera looked sunny, wearing a white T-shirt and black shorts, not as sad as the audience thought he would be.

Seeing that he was selected from the raffle, he smiled, his white teeth showing, and said in a proud tone, “I don’t have a naughty brother or a weird brother-in-law, I’m just an ordinary lucky guy!”
