Chapter 245 - 194: The Ride-Sharing Supercar (2)

"You two need to come with me to the station. We received a report that you’re suspected of severe speeding and intentionally cutting off another vehicle, actions that endangered public safety."

"What?" The two blond punks were stunned.

RING RING RING~

The blond punk in the driver’s seat’s phone rang. He answered, and a voice came from the other end: "Mr. XX, the 4,300 yuan monthly payment for your car loan with our bank is now 12 days overdue. Please settle the outstanding amount promptly."

His expression immediately soured. The caller had said that if he didn’t pay up soon, he could face a lawsuit and his car could be auctioned off. He glanced at the other blond punk, unable to hide the despair in his eyes.

He’d spent 40,000 yuan on the down payment, only to find he couldn’t even make the second month’s payment. He had bought this "supercar" and taken it out for the first time today to pick up girls, just like he’d seen others do. But not only had he failed to pick up any girls, he’d also crashed the car. ’Now, even if it gets fixed, the resale value is going to take a hit, isn’t it?’ He was instantly overcome with worry.

Just then, Serene walked over and looked at Yang Hui. "Are you hurt?" she asked.

When the two blond punks saw Serene’s face, they couldn’t look away. No wonder their fleeting glimpse of her from the car had left them thinking she was a knockout. Seeing her in person now, she was beautiful from head to toe, flawless from almost every angle.

Seeing that this beauty actually knew Yang Hui, they suddenly realized something was off. The blond punk from the passenger seat said to the officer, "I suspect he crashed into us on purpose! You should arrest him."

The officer gave them a speechless look. "You’re coming with me to the station." He couldn’t be bothered with these two who were completely ignorant of the law.

Yang Hui smiled at Serene. "It’s so sunny out. It would be my fault if you got a tan. Get in the car."

The car was still drivable, but it needed to be taken to the 4S dealership for repairs.

Serene sat in the passenger seat. She had a slender figure and was wearing a long one-piece dress today. A slit in the hem revealed her fair, long legs as she sat, and Yang Hui thought they were the fairest he had ever seen. He’d only seen her in wide-leg jeans before and had no idea her legs were so beautiful.

Yang Hui started the car and drove toward her Range Rover. Leaving a car abandoned on the shoulder like that was very dangerous.

"Don’t do such dangerous things in the future." As they neared her parked Range Rover, Serene said quietly. She had been worried sick the entire time, and only felt relieved after seeing he was okay.

Yang Hui laughed. "It’s fine. I had it under control." He brought the car to a stop.

"I said, don’t ever do something like that again."

He turned to look at her. Her tone was firm, leaving no room for argument, but her face was etched with worry and lingering fear. He instantly understood that she was concerned for him. Reaching out, he gently patted her soft, delicate hand. "Okay, I promise you."

Only after patting it did he remember this wasn’t Shen Meng. He worried for a moment that Serene might be upset, but she didn’t seem to notice.

"Why don’t you take the car to the 4S dealership? Don’t bother going to Xinyue Square. I’ll check on it, then I’ll drive over and pick you up. We can have dinner together tonight."

Yang Hui watched her Range Rover start up, then drove his own car toward the 4S dealership. Along the way, he had already contacted his insurance company and the dealership’s after-sales service department. He would just have to drop the car off, get a damage assessment, and the insurance company would handle the repairs and payment directly with the dealership.

When he arrived at the 4S dealership, an assessor came over to perform a detailed inspection. After confirming all the damaged parts one by one, he said to Yang Hui, "Sir, you can just leave the key here. The repairs will take about five days. We’ll contact you as soon as it’s ready."

He nodded, then suddenly realized he wouldn’t have a car for the next few days. ’That’s going to be a bit inconvenient,’ he thought.

’It’ll probably be a while before Serene comes to pick me up,’ he thought, checking the time. ’She must have gone to Xinyue Square to check on the situation on the ground, and that won’t be over in less than half an hour. I’ll use the time to wander around the showroom and see what kind of car to buy for Shen Meng to practice in.’

What a coincidence. The sales consultant who greeted him was Xiaolang, the same one from last time. Xiaolang had assumed he was here for vehicle maintenance and was just browsing, but he was surprised to see that Yang Hui was looking to buy another car.

He knew this guy was a big spender; last time he’d bought a top-spec Mercedes E-Class without batting an eye, and he’d paid in full. ’But you can’t just buy cars like they’re cabbages, coming in for a new one every month. Isn’t this a bit too frequent?’

Still, this was a sale walking right through the door. Xiaolang put on his sweetest smile.

For Shen Meng’s first car to practice in, he didn’t plan on buying anything too expensive. His main considerations were safety, maneuverability, and ease of parking. After looking around, the only one that really fit the bill was the Mercedes C-Class. Xiaolang saw him standing in front of a white Mercedes C260L, sizing it up, and figured he had his eye on that model. He stood to the side and began explaining the differences between the various trim levels.

"No need for the introduction. Do you have this white one, top-spec, in stock?"

With the rise of new energy vehicles, gasoline-powered cars had taken a serious hit. The Entry Level models of the 5-Series, A6, and E-Class were now all under 300,000 yuan, which was just tragic. This top-spec C-Class, meanwhile, had a sticker price of only 240,000 yuan. It really was like buying cabbage.

The profit from the bag Shen Meng bought yesterday was enough to buy eleven of these cars.

Normally, very few people chose the top-spec model, so they had this one in stock. If Yang Hui confirmed the purchase, he could pick it up tomorrow morning.

"This one’s fine. I’m done looking. It’s just for her to practice in, anyway. She won’t be driving it for too long before it’s time for an upgrade,"

he said casually as he walked on. Listening from behind, Xiaolang’s teeth almost ached with envy. ’Buying a Mercedes just for practice... what an inhuman flex.’ At the same time, he understood that Mr. Yang was buying it as a gift for a woman. ’I just wonder which lucky lady gets to have a man who’s not only rich but dotes on her like this.’
