Chapter 403: Chapter 328: Let you not repay the money, let you not repay the money (Please subscribe!)_1
After buying shoes.
The group didn’t continue shopping.
They put their items in Pan Yue’s car and were ready to go watch a performance.
Today is the second day of the Golden Week for May Day. As the flagship scenic area of Qingyan City - the Broken Love Mountain Scenic Area, it’s naturally the top choice for Qingyan citizens who don’t want to travel far. To attract tourists, there would be performances every day during the Golden Week. These performances were organized by Qingyan Tourism and Culture Bureau, and hosted by the Broken Love Mountain Scenic Area company.
It’s still early now, just past three in the afternoon, they can’t possibly go for a meal now.
"Brother Pan, let me drive, otherwise, you probably won’t find the way," Tang Qing volunteered. There weren’t any guidance systems available at the moment. It would be better if he drives instead of looking at a map.
Pan Yue didn’t even ask Tang Qing if he had a driver’s license because it was impossible for him to have one due to his age.
But his driving skills were definitely passable.
"All right, just don’t crash it into a ditch, hahaha," Pan Yue laughed out loud.
"Don’t worry, my driving skills are second to none."
With that, Tang Qing directly hopped into the driver’s seat. Pan Yue sat in the passenger seat while the three ladies chatted in the back seat.
The Mercedes-Benz SUV was automatic and top of its line. It feels pretty good to drive it.
Soft music was playing as the car smoothly... got stuck in traffic.
Tang Qing was silent.
He had only driven for a hundred meters. If he had known earlier, he would have taken another route.
After a couple of minutes, there was still no movement up front.
Tang Qing was getting impatient. Seeing that there was no barrier on the right side, he planned to drive onto it, make a U-turn, and take a shortcut.
"Clang."
A collision sound rang out.
The car jolted slightly.
But his car hadn’t moved at all. How could it hit someone? Moreover, with Tang Qing’s control, it would be tough to hit someone even if he wanted to.
It was definitely a rear-end collision.
Even though he was just about to break traffic rules, he hadn’t done it yet, right?
"You all stay in the car, I’ll go out and check," Tang Qing said, then exited the car.
He walked behind the car.
Looking at the rear-ended vehicle, Tang Qing was dumbfounded. He was rear-ended by a bicycle. He was driving on the motor lane. Even if it was insurance fraud, it should be on the front side.
But seeing the face of the person who had fallen behind, Tang Qing paused.
He quickly went up to help that person up.
It turned out to be his class teacher, Shen Mei.
"Teacher Shen, are you okay?" Tang Qing asked with concern.
When Shen Mei saw that it was Tang Qing and then spotted Pan Yue exiting the car, she hurriedly said: "Oh, Tang Qing, I’m fine. I’m so sorry sir; it wasn’t intentional. Just tell me how much you want, I’ll pay for the damage." The edge of her bicycle handlebar indeed scraped a shallow scratch on the back of the Mercedes. Although it wasn’t easily noticeable, it was definitely done by her. However, it should not be costly.
"No need, Teacher Shen, this is my friend’s car. Brother Pan, this is my class advisor, Shen Mei," Tang Qing introduced.
Oh, they knew each other.
A smile appeared on Pan Yue’s face.
"Hello, Teacher Shen, are you alright? It’s just a little scratch. Hmm, you’ve hurt your hand. I have some disinfectant and gauze in my car, let me get them for you," noticing Shen Mei’s arm scrape, Pan Yue immediately opened the trunk to fetch the first-aid kit.
"No, no need..."
But Pan Yue didn’t care. As Tang Qing’s teacher, she was considered one of their own. If she got hurt, they couldn’t just leave her to care for herself.
"How did you collide?" Tang Qing asked, puzzled.
Upon mentioning that, Shen Mei got a little annoyed.
"I was riding perfectly fine, then a young man tried to overtake me. I tried to avoid him, and that’s how the collision happened."
"I see, you need to be careful next time, don’t ride too fast," Tang Qing smiled. He had thought it was an insurance fraudster. At this point in time, insurance fraud hasn’t been quite prevalent.
"Okay," Shen Mei said.
At this moment.
A rough voice rang out.
A bald man stood by his car and shouted.
"Hey, your car is fine, but mine isn’t. Look at my car logo."
Tang Qing looked where his eyes were directed.
Indeed.
It was also a Mercedes-Benz, but the logo had been bent.
"How much do you want? I’ll pay you," Shen Mei looked, then remembered that she fell earlier and her hand pressed onto something. It turned out to be the car logo.
"Pay? Five thousand," the bald man sneered.
"Why don’t you just rob me?" Tang Qing frowned.
"You know each other, right? If you’re so capable, you pay for her," the bald man looked at Tang Qing and said.
Who was this guy? He was so arrogant. Did he bump into a brainless character? I’m also driving a Mercedes-Benz. If he came up talking like this, wasn’t he afraid of being beaten up?
Tang Qing was taken aback for a moment.
How did such a troublesome person survive up to this point?
And he found the bald man strangely familiar.
Oh no, that’s the high-interest lender, the one who almost messed up his task.
Only the last time he saw this guy in the video, he was in pajamas, and he was so scared with a gun pointed at his head by a fighter that he nearly wet his pants.
Thinking about this, Tang Qing found it kind of funny.
It was certainly a comedic character.
Seeing Tang Qing laugh, the bald man said confidently, "What are you laughing at? You think just because you drive a Mercedes-Benz, you don’t have to pay?" He had seen plenty of Mercedes owners. Many of them came to him begging. Even this Mercedes was pawned to him by a boss.
Mercedes? Is it so impressive?
"Aren’t you a usurer? And yet you’re short of this small amount of money?" Tang Qing said sarcastically.
On hearing this,
The bald man was taken aback. Did this man know him? So he asked, "Who are you, do you know me?"
Tang Qing shook his head, "I don’t know you. I was planning to give you five hundred, but now I don’t want to give you a single penny. If you keep babbling, I won’t be polite anymore. Teacher Shen, you can leave first, it’ll be fine."
"But..." Shen Mei hesitated, looking at the menacing bald man.
"Don’t worry, just go." Tang Qing righted his bicycle. By then, Pan Yue had already disinfected and bandaged Shen Mei’s wounds.
Shen Mei, nudged by Tang Qing, mounted her bicycle.
Seeing Shen Mei about to leave,
The bald man can’t just ignore it. His words were being dismissed, and he started to get angry.
"You stay right there, don’t think about leaving, I..." But before he could finish, his vision suddenly went dark.
"Smack..."
He was slapped to the ground.
Of course, it was not Tang Qing who had done it.
As for hitting someone, Tang Qing had no interest, plus it’d dirty his hands. Naturally, it was the fighter who did it. In the course of the conversation, he had sent a text message, the content being that this guy was pestering and to execute the 23rd security handling plan.
To perfectly protect the parties involved, when faced with such situations, like fraudsters, troublemakers, etc., fighters needed to find ways to divert the conflict, allowing the protection target to escape quickly.
Just like right now.
"You refuse to repay your debts, you refuse to repay your debts..." The fighter kept slapping while shouting loudly. The surrounding crowd instantly figured out the whole story. This bald man was being chased for debts.
So they started pointing fingers and enjoying the drama.
Quite a few drivers got out of their cars, their initial frustration from the traffic instantly vanished.
Tang Qing was unsure whether to feel sad or something else upon seeing this.
Hey, hey, hey... you can watch, but don’t eat sunflower seeds, okay? Show some respect for other people’s ’hard-earned achievements’.
And that spoiled brat, don’t clap! You’re so young and already have violent tendencies, what will become of you in the future?
Shen Mei and Pan Yue who were standing on the side were also stunned.
"I didn’t owe any..." The bald man’s face was swelling from the hits, and he desperately denied and resisted.
But a fighter was not something he could resist.
Denying?
Useless.
The fighter continued to slap him. The bald man attempted to dodge, but how could he possibly dodge?
In the end, he couldn’t talk clearly anymore.
’Teacher Shen, go quickly. This guy owes someone money and won’t pay up. It looks like the police will be here soon. You should leave first.’ Tang Qing rushed her. It was a holiday, and he wasn’t keen on going to the police station to give a witness statement.
"What about you." Shen Mei asked in concern.
Tang Qing smiled, "I’m fine. I didn’t even hit anyone. Plus, the road ahead has cleared, I’ll just drive off. He won’t be able to find me. Let’s not get involved in this mess." The road ahead was clear, and he could see traffic police approaching from far away. He needed to leave quickly.
"Then... okay, I’ll go first. Tang Qing, you all should leave quickly too." Shen Mei didn’t want to get involved in this sort of pointless trouble.
"Okay."
After this, Shen Mei rode off on her bicycle. She didn’t speed up until she saw Tang Qing also getting into the car. As for watching the excitement, she had already gotten a close view just now, she didn’t dare to stay any longer.
Stepping on the gas,
Tang Qing quickly drove off in the car.
Soon after,
The fighter also stopped beating.
Mission accomplished.
"If you still don’t pay back the money next month, I’ll beat you every time I see you..."
Leaving these words behind,
The fighter left as well.
Gone with the wind.
The spectators all applauded the spectacle.
A true man, full of passion.
Meanwhile, the bald man lying on the ground wanted to cry but couldn’t. His face hurt and was numb. He felt so wronged that he ended up openly crying.
It was really an unwarranted disaster. His car emblem was crushed for no reason. Then he was beaten up for no reason. He regretted not bringing a couple of his underlings with him this time. He hadn’t brought any because he was going to see his lover.
Shortly after, the police arrived, but the bald man couldn’t speak clearly. After the surrounding crowd explained to the police, they looked at the bald man with disdain. He was driving such a nice car, borrowed money, and got beaten for not paying it back - he deserved it.
So they left as well.
The bald man had no choice but to swallow this loss.
What a bizarre day.
Every time he was the one demanding people to pay back their debts. But today, he was beaten up in the middle of the street for no reason.
What the hell was going on?
