Fan s.h.i.+xin added, “Henry got Hu Xin to buy him lots of food and drinks. He’s injured right now and he’s supposed to eat lighter and blander food. Is the junk food going to be detrimental to his health?”


“He’s already eaten the food, we can’t make him throw up everything, can we? Seems like we don’t have to bring him any more food later. I’ll have my meal first. Afterward, I’ll go take a look at him. Once I leave for the hospital, continue monitoring and looking after the children. When are they returning to the boot camp? Tomorrow or the day after?”


“They’ll have to report back tomorrow afternoon, and the lessons proper will begin the day after.”


“Alright, I’ll come home tomorrow to send them to the boot camp.”


“Okay, I’ll excuse myself now, then.”


“Wait a minute, s.h.i.+xin, I think I’ll go take a look at those racers after I’m done eating. Wait for me there.”


“Sure.” Fan s.h.i.+xin turned around and left.


An Xiaoning sat alone at the dining table to have her meal because the children had already eaten. Throughout the meal, she constantly pondered over Henry and decided to call Yu Yiwei over.


“Isn’t there a good solution to let him snap out of the second personality naturally when a relapse happens?” she asked.


Having understood what she meant, Yu Yiwei answered, “The most feasible treatment option at hand is psychiatric therapy. During his relapse, he’s going to be very resistant toward psychiatrists. Hence, it’s not a good idea for me to step in at this juncture. Things might just backfire instead.”


An Xiaoning nodded and said, “Alright, you’re dismissed.”


Staring at An Xiaoning, Yu Yiwei said, “Ms. An… this is going to be a long battle but I’ll do my best to help. You must try your best too.”


“Of course.”


An Xiaoning definitely had to put her best foot forward. She could not allow his psychological illness to ruin him.


….


The few people standing before her were all youths who appeared to be in their early twenties.


They were all stick-thin and youthful. It was apparent that time had not taken its toll or left its trace on their faces.


They stood in a row and hung their heads low while remaining silent.


An Xiaoning glanced at them and questioned, “Have you any idea who you had knocked into?”


“Yes…”


“Were you aware of it when you were ramming your bikes against his?”


“No… it was too dark at night, we didn’t get to see clearly…”


“Weren’t there any lights around?” An Xiaoning questioned apprehensively.


“We really couldn’t see clearly. If we had known that it was Jin Qingyan, we definitely wouldn’t…”


Staring at them sternly, An Xiaoning chided, “Do you know how long you’d have to be locked up for knocking someone over on purpose? Do you know how much you would have to compensate? Don’t think that this is a minor accident. If I were to make you compensate us, you really won’t be able to afford the compensatory sum. Tell me, how do you plan to settle this issue?”


One of the boys nodded and answered, “Ms. An, like what you said, we can’t afford to pay the compensation sum. Although our families are rather well-to-do, we still won’t be able to afford it. We’re still young, please give us a chance to realize our mistakes and repent. We won’t race anymore or try and ram into others deliberately. Ms. An, we’re willing to do anything except give compensation and go to jail. Please give us a chance to turn over a new leaf.”


“Do all of you think the same as him?” she asked.


The boys nodded fervently and chorused, “Yes.”


“Alright, I’ll get someone to deliver an agreement to you guys later. After you’ve read through the terms, sign your name and stamp your thumbprint onto it, then you may leave.”


“Okay.”


“There’s something that I have to make clear to you beforehand. The incident that happened last midnight had already made it onto the news. However, we’ve handled the media and told the reporters that it was purely just an accident and that he had stumbled across you guys by chance. That’s better for all of us. I’ll include that in the agreement terms. If I ever see any additional information on the news or find out that you’ve told others about this incident, I’m sorry, but I won’t show mercy on you.”


“We understand. Rest a.s.sured, we won’t spout any nonsense.”


“Okay.”


While they were leaving, An Xiaoning instructed Fan s.h.i.+xin, “Draft a doc.u.ment and include the non-disclosure term that I’ve just mentioned, as well as another one that forbids them from racing again. Those who fail to adhere will have to pay five million dollars each. Also, warn them that they’re not allowed to take part in races secretly. Since Henry was partly to blame for this incident, we don’t need them to fork out the medical bills. All they have to do is comply and abide by the terms stated in the agreement.”


“That bunch of kids are pretty good at racing. I reckon this is their greatest hobby and interest. Although Henry was partly to blame for the incident, it was too atrocious of them to ram into someone else on purpose.”


“Forget it, let’s give them a chance to repent and let them off this time. I believe they’ve reflected on their mistakes and really got a huge fright this time.”


Fan s.h.i.+xin said, “I could tell too. Xiao Bai told me today that they even huddled up together and wept. They must have been scared out of their wits.”


“I’m going to the hospital now.”


“Drive safely.”


“Okay.”


When An Xiaoning parked her car in the car park of the hospital, she returned a missed call that was then picked up by one of the bodyguards outside the ward.


“Has that woman left yet?”


“Not yet.”


“Got it.”


She ended the call and grabbed her purse that was sitting on the pa.s.senger’s seat.


The bodyguards had a feeling that she would be arriving soon. After waiting for more than half an hour, she finally showed up.


She was dressed in a pink floral dress with a white purse in one hand and a paper bag in the other.


The bodyguards caught sight of what it was when she approached.


It was a bag of alcohol.


Just as the bodyguards were about to greet her, she motioned for them to stop.


She held onto the handle of the door and pushed the door open gently.


She entered.


The aroma of fried chicken wafted up to her nose the moment she stepped foot inside the ward.


At the sight of her, Hu Xin stood up from the chair while remaining calm and composed, not in the least bit uncomfortable at all.


“I heard from the bodyguards that you’ve already eaten so I didn’t bring you any food. Who bought all these food?” An Xiaoning asked.


“Ms. Hu did,” Henry answered.


An Xiaoning smiled and said, “What’s wrong with you? How could you make someone else go to that expense when they’re here to visit you?”


She then opened her white purse and took out her wallet. After estimating the costs of all the food and beer on the table, she handed Hu Xin three hundred dollars and said, “You may keep the change. Just take it as an errand fee.”


However, Hu Xin refused, “I was the one who wanted to treat Mr. Jin to this meal. Besides, I’ve had some of the food too. I won’t take your money.”


“You’re giving Mr. Jin a treat?” She walked toward Hu Xin and stuffed the money into her cleavage. “How is he related to you? Why do you need to treat him to a meal? Save the money for yourself. None of us here is cash-strapped. Qingyan and I detest owing an acquaintance a favor.”


Hu Xin looked up at her and pulled the cash out of her cleavage.
