Chapter 33: Girl, You’re Overthinking
Chapter 33: Girl, You’re Overthinking
Wow!
Everyone present was stunned, looking incredulously at Xu Xiangbei.
A luxury car worth one or two million, and Xu Xiangbei just smashed it like it was nothing?
This is just too outrageous!
"Kid, are you tired of living? Do you know how much this car costs? You, such a broke guy, could never afford it in your lifetime!"
The middle-aged man rushed excitedly to Xu Xiangbei, grabbed his collar, and shouted, "I’m calling the police right now to have you arrested. Get ready for jail!"
Not far away, Ding Keke sighed softly, looking at the middle-aged man with pity, showing no concern for Xu Xiangbei.
Crack!
Xu Xiangbei grabbed the middle-aged man’s wrist like a vice, twisted it with a crack, and directly fractured it.
"It hurts, it hurts so much... Baby, call the police..."
The middle-aged man cried out in pain, and the heavily made-up girl beside him let out a sharp, piercing scream, crying as she took out her phone to call the police.
"Well done, scum like this needs someone to teach them a lesson!"
"Yeah, so what if you’re rich? Does money mean you can act superior? Learned anything new today?"
"Young man, you better run, when the police arrive you’ll be in big trouble."
Bystanders were discussing, almost everyone supported Xu Xiangbei, and many even urged him to leave the scene quickly to avoid being detained by the police.
"Ha, weren’t you acting all high and mighty just now? Now why are you lying on the ground whining like a dog?"
Xu Xiangbei kicked the middle-aged man lying on the ground, spat on him, and walked over to the girl holding her phone to call the police.
"You... what are you going to do?"
The girl screamed in fear as Xu Xiangbei approached, almost dropping her phone.
"Nothing, weren’t you going to call the police? Go ahead."
Xu Xiangbei leisurely took out a cigarette, dangling it in his mouth and looked at the girl with a playful smile.
"Big brother, I’m sorry, I won’t call the police, anything you want, I can give you."
The girl trembled as she took a stack of hundred-yuan bills from her perfume bag and shoved it into Xu Xiangbei’s hands.
Xu Xiangbei let out a cold laugh, took the thick stack of bills, and to the crowd’s astonishment, lit them with a lighter, using the burning bills to light his cigarette, exhaling a puff of smoke that made the girl’s eyes tear up.
"Sorry, though I’m short on cash, I don’t need this kind of dirty money. Think carefully about what I really want?"
Xu Xiangbei smirked, giving the girl a once-over.
"Big brother, as long as you don’t hit me, I’m willing to meet any of your demands..."
The girl hesitated slightly, then whispered tearfully.
"Pah, you wish!"
Xu Xiangbei laughed in anger: "With your tacky makeup and flat body, even if I were desperate, I wouldn’t be tempted by you. Listen up, I don’t want money or people, I want you to sincerely apologize!"
"Big brother, I’m sorry, I made a mistake..."
"I’m sorry, big brother!"
The middle-aged man struggled to get up, apologizing with a mournful face to Xu Xiangbei, while the girl beside cried hysterically, almost kneeling before him.
The onlookers all laughed heartily, feeling quite satisfied.
"Idiots, apologizing to me is useless. Apologize to the elderly man you offended, apologize to the people waiting in line. If one person doesn’t forgive you, this matter isn’t over today!"
Xu Xiangbei shook his head with a smile.
"Sorry, sir, I didn’t recognize my place. How about slapping me?"
"Ladies and gentlemen, uncles and aunts, please forgive us, we won’t dare do it again..."
Immediately, the middle-aged man and the girl humbly went to apologize to everyone present in low spirits, looking as pitiful as could be.
After finally apologizing to everyone, they wobbled back to Xu Xiangbei, like students waiting for punishment from a teacher after doing something wrong.
At this moment, an Audi A8 pulled up with a van in tow and stopped not far from the courtyard.
Liu Hongan got out, drawn by the commotion, and looked up at the crowd, quickly walking over when he saw Xu Xiangbei.
Seven or eight workers in blue uniforms got out of the van, began unloading renovation materials, and entered the courtyard one after another.
"Oppa, look, it’s President Liu!"
The girl’s heavy makeup had run from crying, making her look incredibly ugly, but she was sharp-eyed, immediately spotting Liu Hongan approaching.
"President Liu? Hahaha, President Liu has arrived!"
The middle-aged man, upon seeing Liu Hongan, looked as if he had seen his savior, rushing up: "President Liu, I’ve been waiting for you here for three days and finally see you."
"You’re... Wang Xiangyang from Xiangyang Construction Company?"
Liu Hongan glanced at the middle-aged man, thought for a moment, and then recalled his identity.
"Yes, that’s correct, I’m Wang Xiangyang."
The middle-aged man chuckled, quickly pulling out a cigarette to offer to Liu Hongan, who didn’t accept it, prompting an awkward smile from him as he turned to retrieve a large pile of gifts from the car, hurriedly placing them before Liu Hongan: "President Liu, to be honest, I’ve been trying everything to find you, hoping you’d help me get a construction project. This is a small token of my appreciation, please don’t mind."
Liu Hongan’s nostrils flared as he snorted coldly, hands behind his back, looking displeased.
"Quick!"
Seeing Liu Hongan’s bad expression, Wang Xiangyang hastily signaled the girl, who understood and took a card out of her perfume bag, handing it to Liu Hongan: "President Liu, this card has two million in savings, no password, it’s our respect for you."
Wow!
The onlookers all murmured disapprovingly at Wang Xiangyang’s blatant bribery.
"Wang Xiangyang, what do you take me for? Do you think you can buy me off with a few million? Get lost!"
Liu Hongan sneered, not even looking at Wang Xiangyang, striding quickly to Xu Xiangbei with concern in his eyes: "Divine Doctor Xu, what’s going on? Are you hurt? Do you need help handling this?"
"No worries, these two low-lives were cutting in line while shopping, I just educated them a little."
Xu Xiangbei shrugged with a faint smile.
"Hm?"
"Who is this young man that even someone like Liu Hongan treats him with such respect!"
"Tsk tsk, Liu Hongan, someone who could shake Jiangcheng with just a stomp, knows this unassuming young man? Looks like this young man is hiding his true strength."
The crowd gasped in astonishment, and looked at Xu Xiangbei with newfound respect.
"This guy... knows President Liu? And they seem quite familiar, how is this possible?"
Wang Xiangyang looked dumbfounded at Liu Hongan and Xu Xiangbei chatting and laughing, feeling like he could die from the stress.
Originally, he hoped Liu Hongan would stand up for him, but now it seemed impossible.
"Hey, come here."
Amidst the laughter between Liu Hongan and Xu Xiangbei, Liu Hongan gestured at Wang Xiangyang, who walked over dejectedly, head hanging: "President Liu, I was wrong, please listen to my explanation..."
"Shut up."
Liu Hongan impatiently scolded: "Mr. Xu is my benefactor, today he smashed your car and broke your hand, what do you plan to do? Follow the legal procedure to claim compensation, pursue criminal charges? Or resort to underhanded tactics and seek revenge? No matter what, I’ll be with you all the way."
"No no no, I was the one who offended Mr. Xu with my dog eyes, the car deserved to get smashed! So did I! I completely brought it upon myself, no complaints here."
Wang Xiangyang wiped his tears, repeatedly begging for mercy, while the girl beside him shivered in fear.
Trouble Xu Xiangbei?
Putting everything aside, just Xu Xiangbei’s connection with Liu Hongan was enough to squash Wang Xiangyang, even borrowing ten lives, he dared not retaliate.
"Get lost!"
Xu Xiangbei glared at Wang Xiangyang in disgust.
Wang Xiangyang, as though granted amnesty, stumbled and crawled onto his car, stepped on the gas, and fled Anhe Road like his life depended on it.
