Super Soldier in the City

Chapter 1850 - 1912: Who Should You Trust?

"What’s going on? All this noise and chaos, don’t you have any sense of organization and discipline!" An angry shout came through, and people looked over. The faces of the security and sales staff changed, each showing signs of panic. It was the manager of the 4S dealership who had returned, followed by a few others, though these people were unfamiliar to him.Upon seeing the manager return, Huang Dagang immediately covered his face and ran over to him, screaming as if he were a pig being slaughtered, "Manager, thank goodness you’re back, it’s chaos, someone came and caused trouble, just look at what they did to me!"

The manager had been out handling some business, and rushed back upon receiving Bai He’s call. As soon as he arrived, he saw a crowd gathered, shouting and arguing. Now, seeing Huang Dagang running over claiming he’d been beaten, the manager’s expression darkened even more. When Huang Dagang got closer, the manager noticed blood on his nose and mouth, and his heart sank. Damn it, why did this have to happen today? You’re all really screwing me over.

"What the hell’s wrong with you security guys? Someone causes trouble, and you just stand there watching? Do I pay you for nothing? Hurry up and restrain these people until the police get here!" the manager shouted. Looking back, he noticed the people behind him didn’t look very happy either, so he quickly added, "I’ve only been out for a little while, and you’ve already caused trouble. Don’t even think about getting your bonuses this month!"

Huang Dagang, an old man by now, was actually crying like a baby, saying, "Manager, you have to stand up for me!"

"What on earth happened?" The manager asked as he walked inside, still holding onto Huang Dagang.

"It’s Bai He. Her friend came over and caused a scene!" Huang Dagang said, accusing her first.

Bai He? The manager frowned. She was a new sales agent; he had reprimanded her during the summary meeting at the end of last month, so he remembered her. But why did her friend come and cause trouble?

Hmph! Someone behind the manager snorted heavily.

"What kind of trouble did they cause?"

"Well, we have that X6 sports model in our dealership. I had already reserved it for someone else, but then Bai He’s friend wanted to buy it too. I told them they’d have to wait; just because they want the car doesn’t mean it’s theirs! There’s a queue, and besides, my client wouldn’t agree. And then they started hitting people!" Huang Dagang said without changing his expression or tone.

This blatant distortion of the truth, confusing right with wrong, made many people feel revolted by Huang Dagang, especially those in the dealership who had witnessed the entire process. Upon hearing Huang Dagang’s words, they were disgusted, but under the circumstances, they couldn’t say anything.

Li Yifei and the others naturally heard this too. Li Yifei smiled instead, but Qin Muchu, who was the one involved, was furious. He stepped up to confront Huang Dagang, shouting, "You damn liar, are you serious? Playing these tricks, trying to twist the truth, damn it, I’m going to play with you today!"

"See, Manager, even now they’re still so arrogant. If you hadn’t come back, I might have been beaten to death!" Huang Dagang said, sounding extremely aggrieved.

The manager glared at Qin Muchu. Still not knowing what really happened, he chose to trust his own people. So he said, "Friend, if what Huang Dagang says is true, then we need to have a serious talk today. Of course, if he’s lying, I will deal with it!"

"Deal with your ass, you worthless manager!" Qin Muchu yelled without holding back, "Huang Dagang, right? You’ve said your part, now it’s my turn, isn’t it?"

"Go ahead, I don’t believe you. My client has already paid the deposit. Do you think I’m afraid of what you’ll say? You were the one who hit me, and I didn’t even insult anyone. Now you’re acting like you have the right?" Huang Dagang said.

"I’ve never seen someone as despicable as you. Forget it, I’m not buying the car anymore. Bai He, you shouldn’t work here either. A place like this is bound to fail sooner or later. Once this issue is settled, come with me. I’ll find you a better job!" Song Lianyao said directly to the worried Bai He, not wanting to argue further. However, after glancing at Bai He, she was a bit surprised. Bai He, who was full of worry moments ago, now looked much more relieved and relaxed.

Huang Dagang thought Song Lianyao was scared and quickly said, "Manager, look, she admitted it herself; she’s in cahoots with Bai He. They didn’t want to work here anymore, so they harbored resentment and called their friends to cause trouble. I knew it, they didn’t ask about anything and insisted on buying the car meant for someone else. So that’s what this is all about!"

Hearing this, the manager believed it too. He glared at Bai He and asked sternly, "Bai He, is what he said true?"

"It’s true, definitely true, manager. She must have held a grudge against you for criticizing her at last month’s summary meeting, and today she wanted to cause trouble while you were away. But don’t get too angry; it’s not worth it. Young people aren’t reliable after all!" Huang Dagang added fuel to the fire.

The manager, influenced by this narrative, also started to look angry and said, "If that’s the case, then let’s call the police. Who called the police?"

"Haha, serves you right for showing off and threatening me!" Huang Dagang said smugly.

Li Yifei spoke up. He stepped forward and said calmly, "Is this how you make judgments? Listening to one side of the story and then deciding we are the troublemakers?"

The manager’s face twitched, and he said, "Then tell me, what exactly happened?"

Bai He didn’t wait for Li Yifei to speak and said, "It’s nothing like what Huang Dagang said. Not a word of his is true!"

Bai He began to recount the events, revealing the true story, not the version told by Huang Dagang. Once Bai He finished, Huang Dagang couldn’t help but retort, "Lie, keep lying. Wasn’t it your friend who started the fight? And isn’t it your friend who wanted to grab the car and drive off today? Pfft, do you have that much money? A hundred and forty thousand, just like that? If it’s so easy, how come it took you three months to sell those few ordinary cars?"

"Enough!" An angry shout echoed, scaring Huang Dagang into a shiver because the voice came from behind him. He instinctively turned around and saw a man in his fifties, tall and gaunt, glaring at him.

As soon as the manager heard this voice, he hurriedly turned around, bowed, and said, "President Bai, my apologies for the management oversight. I’ll handle this right away. You and your friends can go to the office for a brief rest. Rest assured, I’ll take care of it!"

"I don’t trust that!" Bai Tianpeng snorted, pushed the manager aside, and strode over to Li Yifei and the others.

Li Yifei looked at Bai Tianpeng, his expression more relaxed. He only remembered this person’s name. Last night at dinner, the man had toasted him, saying he was in the car business. He hadn’t expected to meet him here, especially under such circumstances.

Bai Tianpeng had not anticipated meeting Li Yifei, the Patriarch of the Li family, again under these circumstances. Initially, he hadn’t seen Li Yifei, which is why he hadn’t spoken up right away. But when he did see Li Yifei, he was shocked. The store’s staff had clashed with Li Yifei, meaning he had to stand by Li Yifei, regardless of the situation, not to mention there was another reason...

By the time he realized what was going on, Huang Dagang had jumped back in with more accusations, and Bai Tianpeng couldn’t hold back any longer. He approached Li Yifei, his expression changing several times, and said with great embarrassment, "I’m sorry, Mr. Li, my subordinates were acting up, causing you trouble!"

What? What was going on? Huang Dagang was the most clueless person there. He didn’t even know Bai Tianpeng, but the man could casually push the manager aside and chastise him, indicating he was a big deal. Yet this big shot was humbly bowing to someone...

As Huang Dagang pondered who this President Bai was, Li Yifei nodded, his emotions unreadable, and said calmly, "Fancy meeting you again."

Beads of sweat formed instantly on Bai Tianpeng’s face. He nodded awkwardly and said, "Mr. Li, please... rest over there while I take care of this matter. Rest assured, I’ll give you a satisfactory response."

Song Lianyao continued to hold onto Bai He’s small hand, blowing on it, as if to ease the pain, while Bai He looked at Bai Tianpeng.

Qin Muchu and Yin Feng’er stared blankly at the scene, their understanding of Li Yifei’s reputation deepening. They hadn’t expected that even in such a place, someone would know Li Yifei. Qin Muchu especially felt the impact of Li Yifei’s reputation, recognizing that Bai Tianpeng was a prominent figure in Ying City, even wealthier than the owner of Jingtai Hotel, with businesses spanning multiple industries.

Hearing Li Yifei’s words, the manager, now understanding whom he’d offended, regretted his earlier words. Could he really afford to cross someone who commands such respect from a major boss?

With this realization, the manager suddenly turned to glare at Huang Dagang — Damn you, it’s your fault! Thɪs chapter is updated by NoveI-Fire.ɴet

Li Yifei shook his head and said, "Don’t rush. Listen to our side of the story first before making a judgment. Consider all sides. What if I’m lying?"

"No, no, definitely not. Mr. Li, you’ve misunderstood. I absolutely trust you and your friends!" Bai Tianpeng shook his head repeatedly. Looking at Bai He, he added, "Besides, I trust my daughter, too. She’s not that kind of person!"

A gasp and sigh went through the crowd, especially among the security guards and salespeople, who all looked at each other in disbelief. Bai He was his daughter? How could that be? Even the manager was unaware of this connection, his heart almost stopping upon hearing it. He realized that the big boss’s daughter had been working under his supervision, and last month, he had even scolded her?

This manager, even with a healthy heart, would have been terrified to illness. He knew the big boss had a daughter but had no idea... she was called Bai He and worked here as just an ordinary saleswoman.
