But if it was delayed by half an hour, or an hour, the audience below would surely scold them to death.
After all, they had bought tickets, and if the recording was delayed for so long, they could completely demand a refund.
This refund would be a huge loss.
They could only keep urging Liu Yifeng to hurry, while the host stabilized the situation.
Liu Yifeng was also anxious, but dealing with this kind of thing would take at least half an hour.
He asked the traffic police if he could leave first, and he would leave his phone number and go to the traffic police brigade once the matter was resolved.
The traffic police were about to say yes. It was just a dog that was hit, and at most, they would have to pay some money.
If it was the woman's fault, she might not even have to pay anything, so there was naturally no need for Liu Yifeng to wait here.
But the woman refused: "No, you must wait for the traffic police. After this accident is handled, you can leave.
Otherwise, if you leave now, and we call you later and you don't answer, or intentionally change your phone number, how can we contact you?"
"Don't worry, I won't run away. I still have things to do here and will be here for at least two or three days.
Moreover, the traffic police have already registered my ID number. If I run away, they can still find me through my ID." Liu Yifeng said.
The woman still shook her head. She insisted that Liu Yifeng wait until the accident was handled before leaving, lest anything unexpected happen.
Fortunately, the traffic police brigade and their colleagues had already clarified the whole situation.
The video showed that the woman was walking her Teddy dog. As she squatted down to tie her shoelaces, the Teddy dog immediately ran onto the road and happened to run under Liu Yifeng's car, where it was crushed to death on the spot.
The driver, Xia Qianqian, was not driving fast and did not violate any traffic rules. She was driving normally.
It was the woman who did not hold onto her pet dog, and Xia Qianqian accidentally hit it.
Rather than saying it was accidentally hit, it was more like the dog ran into it itself.
Therefore, the responsibility lay with the dog's guardian for not keeping it under control, and it had nothing to do with Xia Qianqian, who was driving.
The woman was not satisfied with the traffic police's judgment. The traffic police directly told her to appeal. If the court thought her judgment was problematic, then the court's judgment would prevail.
But now, she had no right to stop Liu Yifeng from leaving, and Liu Yifeng was thus able to get away.
In the car, Xia Qianqian felt very guilty: "Yifeng, I'm sorry. It's my fault for driving carelessly and causing Tongtong to miss the recording."
Tongtong immediately said: "Aunt Xia, it's not your fault. This was an accident, and no one wishes for such a thing to happen."
Liu Yifeng also added: "You don't need to blame yourself. It was because the other party didn't hold her dog. I'm just glad you weren't scared."
"I wasn't scared, but I feel bad that I caused Tongtong to miss the recording. Tongtong, I'm sorry, it's all my fault. If the program team mentions it later, just blame it on me and let them scold me."
"Look at what you're saying. Can we do that? If there's any trouble, we'll face it together. We two big men can't let you bear it alone, can we?"
Liu Yifeng's words moved Xia Qianqian deeply again: "Thank you. After such a thing happened, you not only didn't blame me but also comforted me and thought for me. I don't know what to say." Her eyes were a little moist.
"It's okay, as long as the person is fine. Aunt Xia doesn't need to have a psychological burden. Dad and I should thank you for driving us."
Tongtong's words reminded Xia Qianqian. She recalled what had just happened and couldn't help but ask: "Yifeng, you clearly drank alcohol at noon, but the test showed you hadn't drunk a drop?"
Liu Yifeng smiled slightly: "You'll have to ask Tongtong about that. It's because of him that I can drink and drive!"
His words made Xia Qianqian confused: "Tongtong, what does your dad mean? Why did he say he could drink and drive because of you?"
"Because I successfully developed a hangover medicine for Dad?" Tongtong replied.
Xia Qianqian's eyes widened again, and her mouth remained open for a long time: "What kind of hangover medicine can have such an immediate effect? Tongtong, I really don't know what to say to describe your heaven-defying skills."
There were many hangover medicines on the market, but their effects were not significant. They only made people feel a little more comfortable after taking them, but the alcohol content did not decrease.
However, the hangover medicine developed by Tongtong was extraordinary. In such a short time, the alcohol content was zero.
If such medicine could be mass-produced, it would be a blessing for car owners who enjoyed drinking!
While Xia Qianqian was in shock, Liu Yifeng's car quickly arrived at the television station. He had been driving relatively fast and steadily along the way.
As they approached the main gate, staff members were waiting there.
Seeing the three of them arrive, they quickly led them toward the recording studio.
"If you hadn't come any later, the audience below would have been furious."
Hearing the staff member's words, Liu Yifeng directly picked up Tongtong and quickly followed him. Xia Qianqian also jogged along.
Today, the fault ultimately lay with her, so she would not complain if someone scolded her later.
Soon, Tongtong and Xia Qianqian entered the contestant area through the contestant channel.
Liu Yifeng went to the family seating area through the audience channel.
As soon as he entered, he heard many audience members complaining about why the show hadn't started yet.
The host was also constantly warming up the audience, chatting about various topics, and occasionally interacting with them.
At first, the audience was cooperative, but later they lost interest.
They had bought tickets to be here, not to listen to the host's nonsense.
Moreover, they noticed that one contestant and one special guest were missing from the contestant seating area.
It was Tongtong, who had performed the best. They didn't know why Tongtong hadn't arrived yet, but they were worried that Tongtong might have left early and didn't intend to record.
After all, most of them had come to watch the show because of Tongtong. If he didn't record, what was the point of them watching?
Fortunately, Tongtong finally arrived, which put their worried hearts at ease.
Seeing that people had finally arrived, the host also secretly breathed a sigh of relief. If they hadn't come any later, he wouldn't have been able to control the situation.
"Why are you late today? Did something happen?" Mother Tian asked Liu Yifeng with concern.
Before Liu Yifeng could speak, Mother Song next to her said sarcastically: "Do you need to ask? He must think his son performed well, so he's putting on airs.
Have you heard the audience in the stands say that they came to this show to see his son? If his son doesn't record, they'll demand refunds!"
Mother Tian didn't believe Liu Yifeng was that kind of person, so she didn't believe her: "Anyone can put on airs, but not Tongtong. He's such a young child, so innocent. How can he put on airs?"
"We were in an accident on the road, so we were delayed!" Liu Yifeng explained to Mother Tian.
