"Do you a favor?” asked Lei Ao-Ting as he instantly laughed when he heard Ye Tian.
"Who do you think you are? How can you have the cheek to ask me for a favor? I tell you, there's no wriggling out of this today! You must compensate me with a new car! Since you were the one who caused trouble, you have to suffer the consequences!" said Lei Ao-Ting as his cold voice echoed through the air. Despite the mere few lines he said, it sounded like a death sentence to Ye Tian's family.
Ye Tian's face instantly turned pale as he went into shock. He almost wanted to kick Ye Jian to death.
If Ye Jian hadn't instigated him, he wouldn't have driven so quickly and end up causing such huge trouble!
Dong Mei instantly lost all hope too. She couldn't help but blame Ye Tian. Why did he have to show off by speeding while he was on the road?
But this wasn't the time for Dong Mei to gripe. Instead, she looked at Ye Tian and said sadly, "Hurry up and come up with something. If you aren't important enough, do you know anyone important enough in your circles to help intercede?"
As the saying went, if they could find the right man, they could tackle this problem more effectively.
Ye Tian could only try to find someone acquainted with the Lei family or more influential than them to intercede as a middle-man.
Or else, Ye Tian's family would have to sell everything they owned to buy Lei Ao-Tian a new Bentley if he was serious about it.
"You make it sound so easy. Those people we know might seem like big shots to average folk, but they can't compare to the Lei family. They are useless to us now," said Ye Tian bitterly while he sighed.
Those friends of Ye Tian might be influential in Dongyang County, but they had absolutely no weight in the city.
Since the Lei family didn't care about Ye
Tian, why would they care about his peers?
"Oh yes. Get Yu-Yan to call her teacher. The Lei family might be more afraid of her teacher," said Ye Tian as he recalled his daughter's teacher amid the panic.
But Ye Yu-Yan shook her head and replied, "Dad, my teacher just got to Jingzhou, so he's on unfamiliar territory here. Since barely anyone knows of his prestige yet, he probably won't be much use here."
"Yu-Yan, why don't you give it a shot? What if it works? Otherwise, our family has to shoulder a $5 million debt," said Ye Tian sadly.
Considering how much trouble her father was in, Ye Yu-Yan helplessly called her teacher.
After Lu Tian-He learned of their predicament, he thought he was unlikely to be of any use and replied, "Yu-Yan, I have never spoken to anyone from the Lei family, so I probably won't be any help but I will do my best to intercede. Hand the phone over to him."
Then Ye Yu-Yan handed her phone to Lei Ao-Ting.
"What? Did you find someone to help you plead for mercy? Let's see what kind of big shot you found?" sneered Lei Ao-Ting before he took the phone from her.
"Huh? Are you a major general from the army? And I am the bloody General Marshall from ancient times! How dare a nobody like you try to step forward and help him?" shouted Lei Ao-Ting furiously.
Their last ray of hope was swiftly doused too.
"What now? Are we really paying him for a new car?" asked Dong Mei while she and her husband were in shock. Ye Jian kept up a guilty silence, but a thought suddenly crossed his mind.
Ye Jian walked over to Ye Tian and said, "Uncle Tian, I suddenly recalled that Ye Fan knows Young Master Lei. Ye Fan was able to escape unscathed after wreaking havoc at the Qin family's wedding because of Young Master Lei."
What?
"Are you talking about Ye Fan? You must be kidding! How could a live-in husband know someone like Young Master Lei?" asked Ye Tian as he swiftly glared in disbelief.
