Xiao Yu stood up, took a deep breath, wiped the sweat off his forehead, and only then did he truly relax.
"Brother, take him to the hospital! For now, just stabilize him. Don't move these needles; I'll go to the hospital tomorrow to remove them!" Xiao Yu turned around and said to Zhang Dahan.
After thinking for a moment, he continued, "I’ll write out a prescription later. If he takes the medicine on time, resting for several months should resolve most issues."
Hearing Xiao Yu's words, Zhang Dahan’s tense expression relaxed, and then with admiration in his eyes, he looked at Xiao Yu. Suddenly, an idea welled up deep inside Zhang Dahan, but he didn't say it out loud yet; he had to consult his master first.
"Lift him into the ambulance!" Zhang Dahan waved to the doctors and nurses on the ambulance.
Xiao Yu took the pen and paper handed by a medic from the military medical team, scribbled something down on the paper, checked it once more, then gave it to Zhang Dahan. "Follow this prescription for medicine."
"Brother, we're leaving now; let's go see him tomorrow at the hospital."
Xiao Yu said after giving Zhang Dahan the prescription. Today they came out to buy a car but didn't manage to accomplish anything, which left him quite frustrated.
After Xiao Yu and his family got into their car, he bid farewell temporarily to Jin Xianglin and drove back to Auto City again.
The Auto City was still packed with people as before; the incident earlier in the day hadn't affected it at all. One could say that what happened this morning was just a trivial matter in the Auto City, something for people to talk about over tea breaks or meals.
Xiao Yu parked his car right outside the main gate of Auto City; since it was afternoon now, there were plenty of parking spots available. Xiao Jianying and the others remained inside their vehicle as they hadn't come out this morning and weren’t eager to venture out after what happened earlier.
Xiao Yu and Lu Jianhong got off their car and walked directly towards Audi Hall.
The Audi showroom was back in operation, with various models of cars displayed on the stage, each marked with a small cloth tag. Models posed around the cars in different positions, while below the stage, camera flashes kept going off—unclear whether for the cars or the people.
A staff member at the store saw Xiao Yu and company coming over, immediately turned pale, muttered to himself ‘bad luck’, then rushed towards the work area.
Soon after, that staff member and a middle-aged man in his fifties with a bald head came hurrying over.
"Hello, bosses. I'm the manager here, my surname is Liu. Please let me know if you need anything!"
The middle-aged bald man walked up to where Xiao Yu and his friends were standing, speaking with great respect.
Although this Manager Liu didn't recognize Xiao Yu, he knew Liu Hao! Liu Hao could be considered a local bully here, and even had some fame throughout the entire city of Shenzhen.
The person in front of him, who crippled Liu Hao just this morning and also injured several police officers… Even though they went to the police station, it only took them so long before coming back out again. And they still have time to wander around like this… It's evident that nothing serious happened at the police station.
In the past, those who offended Liu Hao didn't come out easily; usually their skin was flayed off layer by layer. Last year, he fancied a car model, but she refused him no matter what, so he brought her to the police station under false pretenses of theft. After entering the station, not only did Liu Hao sexually assault her, but after he was done with her, several patrol officers took their turn.
Moreover, they even framed her for drug possession. It cost him 100,000 yuan to get her out of that situation.
The moment she came back out, she told him everything she had gone through at the police station. But what could he do about it The case was already solidified; all he could do was swallow his pain.
This jewelry store manager is worth tens of millions, but so what In the eyes of those in power, he's just an automatic teller machine that doesn't even give out receipts.
Furthermore, they said they were playing with car models and didn't cause any trouble at his place. They even paid 100,000 yuan to bail someone who could have been executed. It was quite generous of them.
This is why Manager Liu greeted Xiao Yu so respectfully; he feared that Xiao Yu would come looking for revenge here. He couldn't afford to offend the person who managed to beat up both Liu Hao and the police officers.
"Manager Liu, we had our eyes on a car this morning. We're here now to pick it up!" Xiao Yu smiled at Manager Liu as he spoke.
"Picking up Oh… Alright."
When Manager Liu heard that they were there for the pickup, his expression froze before forcing out an even more pitiful smile and replied.
This manager's heart was bleeding! He didn't expect this person to be even worse than Liu Hao. That car alone would cost nearly 10 million yuan!
But despite all of this, he still couldn't complain in the slightest; he already had no chance against Liu Hao, let alone against the man who crippled him.
Even though Manager Liu looked miserable, he still had to put on a smile and accompany Xiao Yu to the garage at the back. This might be the helplessness of being a businessman, after all!
Businesspeople, unless they are like Jin Xianglin and have most of their businesses overseas, generally maintain a sense of fear towards officials. Without the support of officials, it is difficult to expand business domestically, which explains why corruption and collusion between officials and businessmen are widespread.
Manager Liu led Xiao Yu and his companions past the garage where they had test-driven earlier and continued further until they reached another garage. The staff member accompanying Manager Liu approached to open the garage door; inside were rows of brand new cars.
"These are all the latest models prepared for this auto show!"
Manager Liu made a gesture inviting them in and addressed Xiao Yu and his companions.
Xiao Yu and his companions followed Manager Liu into the garage, directly heading toward the off-road vehicles. As they approached Tian's model, he turned to Manager Liu and said, "Manager Liu, please arrange for us! We'll take this one!"
"Uh...
Manager Liu was taken aback; now he was even more certain that he would incur a significant loss. Normally, people would test drive cars repeatedly before making up their minds, but these two came straight to the decision without even looking closely at any cars, which only reinforced his belief that they were here for compensation.
Manager Liu deeply regretted his misfortune; why was he so unlucky Last year there had been an incident and this year another one, with this one being more severe than last. Both incidents stemmed from the cursed Liu Hao.
This situation could have also been his own fault, since he had shown too much weakness in dealing with Liu Hao last year, which made Liu Hao feel entitled to act as he pleased again today. He came looking for a car model but ended up meeting Xiao Yu and Yunxi instead. Liu Hao probably planned on using the excuse of them damaging valuable items to take them back to the police station, where everything would be under his control.
But Liu Hao never imagined that he and everyone associated with him, who engaged in illegal activities together, would all fall victim to this incident.
"Alright, alright. I'll have a staff member prepare the test drive; please follow me to finalize the paperwork!"
Although Manager Liu was reluctant, he still agreed repeatedly.
Returning to the office area, Xiao Yu took out his card and said to Manager Liu, "Can you swipe our platinum card for us"
"Swipe a card"
Manager Liu looked at the card Xiao Yu handed him and was bewildered, muttering to himself.
He never expected that Xiao Yu would actually pay. He thought they were going to wait until signing the contract to discuss compensation for their fright but instead pulled out a card right away without mentioning anything else.
"What Manager Liu wants cash payment then In that case, we really can't help!"
Luo Jianhong said with a smile. Xiao Yu couldn’t see through the situation here since he didn’t have experience in official circles, but it was different for him; not only did he work in such environments, but as a secretary-type role, he naturally encountered many similar situations.
From the moment they entered, seeing Manager Liu's expression, he already knew what was going on. But at that time, he didn’t say anything and let them worry for a while. This could be considered compensation for how no one in their shop had stopped his wife and Yunxi from being treated poorly here!
"Alright then, swipe the card immediately!"
At this moment, Manager Liu’s face was filled with smiles as he thought to himself that it seemed not all idle rich kids were like Liu Hao.
"The total cost for this car will be 970,000 yuan. After the discount, we’ll charge you 900,000!"
Manager Liu picked up Xiao Yu’s card and accompanied him to swipe it. After completing the payment, he handed back the card and receipt.
In reality, his shop didn’t actually have any discounts; these 70,000 yuan were ones he personally gave out because of how satisfied he felt today. Even so, this still meant a good profit for him.
Before long, Xiao Yu signed the car purchase contract with them. The license plate and taxes would all be handled by their shop, saving Xiao Yu a lot of trouble. By then, an hour had already passed since they entered the store.
When both men exited the store, the car was parked at the entrance, its windows bearing a temporary license plate. They wouldn’t get the official one until several days later.
"Brother-in-law, don't you want to try driving it"
Xiao Yu asked Luo Jianhong, since both cars would need separate drivers on their way back and Luo Jianhong was unfamiliar with the roads in Deep Sea. Xiao Yu wouldn’t feel at ease if he were to drive a car filled with people.
"Haha, alright then, I’ll give it a try. No matter how good another person’s car is, driving one that belongs to my family feels much more comfortable," Luo Jianhong replied with a light laugh.
After the two got into their respective cars, they slowly drove out of the car city following the flow of traffic and headed towards where Xiao Yu had parked earlier. Upon seeing the car Xiao Yu bought, Xiao Jiangying, Xiao Yu, and Yunxi nodded in approval; it was solid, grand, and not flashy, qualities that they all appreciated.
Xiao Yu drove the minivan while Luo Jianhong followed in an off-road vehicle as they headed towards East Garden Villa. Today being the first day of renovation work, there was no telling how things were going to be.
