Chapter 42: Uncle Su is Beaten!
Ye Qiu made a list and handed it to Zhao Hanyan.
The list contained various task objectives he had noted down — collecting five fish pearls, ten bottles of wild fox monster fluid, ten pieces of ironwood gel, and more.
There were many tasks, and they were all quite tedious. Ye Qiu didn’t have the time or energy to complete them himself.
So, he planned to have Zhao Hanyan gather the required materials and then hand them over to him. He would use them to complete the quests and, in return, reward Zhao Hanyan with equipment and items he didn’t need.
It was a win-win situation!
On Zhao Hanyan’s side, she was genuinely grateful that Ye Qiu was willing to assign her tasks at all.
After sending Zhao Hanyan off, the sky darkened slightly.
Ye Qiu prepared to log out.
He needed to start working on some powerful tools to deal with the outer demons, specifically, the Split Demon!
For example, Molotov cocktails!
As soon as Ye Qiu logged out, a commotion filled his ears.
At the moment, he was still seated in Uncle Su’s car.
Looking out the window, he saw Uncle Su arguing heatedly with a group of security guards from the dealership.
Not far away, a reporter and a cameraman were observing from a distance, hesitant to approach.
“Stop filming! Keep recording, and I’ll smash your camera!” one of the security guards threatened, brandishing a metal baton.
“We are legitimate reporters from a news station. You can’t—” The reporter, a young woman who looked like she had just graduated and was still an intern, spoke timidly, her voice laced with fear.
Before she could finish her sentence…
Bang!
A security guard snatched the camera and violently smashed it to the ground.
The device shattered into pieces!
“You… You…” The female reporter was on the verge of tears.
The cameraman, both furious and alarmed, hurriedly picked up the broken camera.
Luckily, the camera was well-built and still functional.
Uncle Su, seeing the situation escalate, quickly stepped forward, grabbing the security guards and saying loudly, “This is between us! It has nothing to do with the reporters!”
At this moment, a man in a suit — presumably the dealership manager — stepped forward.
He lifted his chin arrogantly, looking at Uncle Su with utter disdain.
“Hah! Mr. Su, this is your fault. If this is just a disagreement between us, why did you call the reporters?”
Uncle Su’s face flushed with anger. “Do you think I wanted to? It’s been a year! A whole year since I paid in full for my car, and I haven’t even seen it yet!”
The manager responded nonchalantly, “Haven’t I explained? The car is still en route. It’s being shipped overseas, and we ran into some delays. That’s perfectly normal.”
“A year ago, you told me the same thing!” Uncle Su clenched his fists. “I spent 500 to 600 thousand on that car! And all I’ve heard from you is the same excuse over and over! Now that I’m asking for a refund, you won’t even return my money? This is nothing short of robbery!”
The manager sneered. He had clearly dealt with cases like this before.
“Careful what you say, Mr. Su. Accusations like that could get you sued for defamation. We run a legitimate business!”
“You—!” Uncle Su was dumbfounded.
He had never met someone this shameless before!
“What? What about me?” The manager, now emboldened, sneered even more. “Either leave now, or we’ll have to take action!”
“You wouldn’t dare!” Uncle Su was livid.
The manager smirked. “Oh? You spent 500 to 600 thousand on a car, right? What do you think would happen if I gave that money to these security guards instead? Do you think they’d hesitate to beat you up?”
One of the guards immediately chimed in, “Manager Wang, I’m not scared! Let me at him! Worst case, I get locked up for fifteen days!”
The others were equally eager, ready to strike at any moment.
This was routine for them.
Beating people up and pocketing a hefty sum in return? The price was just a few days behind bars, nothing new.
“You… You…” Uncle Su was both furious and terrified.
He hadn’t come here for a fight. He just wanted the news to expose the situation and force the dealership to refund his money.
But these people were completely unreasonable!
Instead of admitting their wrongdoing, they were even threatening violence!
Just then…
Screech!
A BMW suddenly pulled up nearby.
The car door swung open.
Out stepped a young man, around 24 or 25 years old.
“Manager Wang, what the hell is going on?! Why are you still wasting time with this low-class nobody?” The young man frowned in displeasure, his tone dripping with arrogance.
“Young Master Chen…” Manager Wang’s demeanor changed instantly.
He hurried over, nodding and bowing obsequiously.
Young Master Chen snorted. “When dealing with situations like this, you need to be ruthless. The more you drag things out, the more bystanders gather, and that’s bad for business!”
Manager Wang nodded repeatedly, as if receiving sage advice.
Meanwhile, Young Master Chen strode toward Uncle Su.
Before even reaching him, he raised his foot and viciously kicked!
Agh!
Uncle Su cried out in pain as he fell to the ground, clutching his stomach in agony.
“Beat them up! And get the reporter and cameraman too!” Young Master Chen ordered coldly. “Don’t worry about the consequences, I have plenty of money!”
He shot Uncle Su a look of utter disdain.
These lowly commoners… always making trouble!
He came from a wealthy family.
The elite and powerful always treated them with respect.
But these low-class nobodies? They had no sense of their place.
They were constantly coming here to cause trouble.
“Yes, Young Master Chen!”
The security guards, already itching for a fight, no longer hesitated.
One group charged at Uncle Su.
The others rushed toward the reporter and cameraman.
However…
Bang!
A loud noise rang out!
Everyone on the scene froze!
Their movements halted instantly!
They turned their heads. The first security guard, a burly man weighing nearly 200 pounds, had been sent flying through the air!
He soared five or six meters before crashing down, right onto Young Master Chen’s BMW!
The car’s windshield caved in!
The other guards recoiled in shock, hastily retreating!
Uncle Su, who had closed his eyes in despair, suddenly opened them.
And then, he saw a young man standing tall in front of him.
“Xiao… Xiao Ye?”
