Honestly speaking, Wang Qian Ni is just being delusional here.
Yang Chen is doing this purely to disgust Zhang Hengzhi, it's not that he's interested in her with those large tattoos on her arms and legs.
If he really had a physiological need, he could spend some money to find a type he likes to solve it, isn't that better than this zebra?
Zhang Hengzhi was stunned, and after he came to his senses, he immediately asked, "Zhang Long, what's going on? Why is your family lending money to her family? Aren't you going against me with this?"
Zhang Long chuckled and said, "You're overthinking. It's not that I'm going against you; I just have no choice. Our family wants to invest in the Peninsula Hotel, but he's holding back as the second-largest shareholder of the Peninsula Hotel, not allowing us injections. He just said if our family lends money to Wang Qian Ni's family, he'll agree to let our family inject capital into the Peninsula Hotel. Wouldn't you agree if you were me? We've been busy for over a year for this investment and are on the verge of success. We can't let it fall through at the last minute."
Zhang Hengzhi and Wang Qian Ni were shocked; Yang Chen is actually the second-largest shareholder of the Peninsula Hotel Group?
Are you kidding?
So wealthy, why would he work as a ride-share driver?
"Are you mistaken? Same name and surname? If he's a second-largest shareholder, would he still be working as a ride-share driver?" Zhang Hengzhi inquired.
Zhang Long chuckled and replied, "Exactly, haven't you figured out why?"
Zhang Hengzhi instantly widened his eyes. Yang Chen is definitely a young master from a prominent family, possibly experiencing life or accepting a family mission for training.
It's over, it's over, provoking a young master from an unknown big family, maybe one night, the whole family might just disappear.
Before Zhang Hengzhi could speak, his few younger followers were completely panicked.
"Young Master Zhang, what do we do? We've offended a big family's young master. You told us to smash it, you've got to take responsibility!"
"Young Master Zhang, say something! What do we do?"
"We really don't want to suddenly disappear. Let's quickly gather money to pay for the car."
...
The enjoyment they had smashing the car a moment ago is now matched with the embarrassment of gathering money.
But they are all petty henchmen following Zhang Hengzhi, and having a thousand bucks at hand is already a big deal.
Even if they gather everything, they barely collect ten thousand bucks, which isn't enough to compensate for a Buick LaCrosse.
Zhang Hengzhi was both angry and aggrieved, saying, "You're the second-largest shareholder of the Peninsula Hotel, why didn't you say so earlier? If you had said it earlier, would I have made such a big misunderstanding?"
"Do you think everyone's like you, wishing everyone in the world knew you're Zhang Yaowu's son?" Yang Chen retorted sarcastically.
Zhang Hengzhi looked helpless, speechless.
Wang Qian Ni hugged Yang Chen's neck, laughing, saying, "Wow, can't tell you're actually a young master from a secret family. Did your family assign you a task of driving ride-share for training?"
Wow, these folks really have vivid imaginations, don't they?
Secret families coming up, they're probably influenced by reading too many internet novels.
Yang Chen laughed heartily, saying, "If I say you're all overthinking, would you believe me?"
"What do you think? If you weren't undergoing family training, how can you possibly be worth billions yet still drive a ride-share? Do you think we're stupid, unable to analyze your background?" Wang Qian Ni replied.
Aye, this is somewhat frustrating; nobody believes even when telling the truth.
Zhang Hengzhi felt guilty, but still refused to admit defeat.
"Stop being mysterious, if you have the guts, say your identity. If you are a young master of a prominent family, I'll concede. If you're faking mystery, I'll still try to teach you a lesson!" Zhang Hengzhi stubbornly spoke.
At this time, his little followers dared not stick with him anymore.
"Brother, we were wrong, please don't blame us. You know, it was him who instructed us to smash it, it has nothing to do with us. We gathered this money, please take it first. If it's not enough, ask him for more. We only have this much money."
"Yes, yes! We have nothing to do with him. Injustice has a head, each debt has its owner, please settle it with him."
"Brother, can we go now? We really know we're wrong, won't dare anymore. Beg you to have mercy and let us off."
...
Zhang Hengzhi was infuriated, stepping up for a furious round of punches and kicks, cursing, "You bunch of cowards, damn it, can't you stop being so cowardly? I am not afraid, what are you guys afraid of?"
"You're not afraid because you have Yao Wu Group's backing, we have nothing at all."
"Exactly! We're just ordinary folks, if you drop the ball at the end, what do we do?"
...
Zhang Hengzhi: "If he's just the second-largest shareholder, there's nothing to be afraid of at all. Our company is about to go public, once it succeeds, I'll be a billionaire. Would I be afraid of just the second-largest shareholder of the Peninsula Hotel?"
"But what if he is a young master from a secret family?"
"If your company doesn't go public successfully, then what?"
...
These two questions really broke Zhang Hengzhi's defense, swiftly turning back to give those few followers a round of punches and kicks, obviously not treating them as people at all.
At this moment, the police arrived.
Upon hearing the sirens, Zhang Hengzhi finally calmed down a bit.
The police took a look at Yang Chen's car and then asked what was going on.
Before Yang Chen could speak, Zhang Hengzhi's group of underlings hurriedly went to confess.
"Officers, we smashed the car, but we did it under his orders."
"Yes, yes, we were just following instructions; he's the mastermind."
"We've already apologized to the owner and gathered money for compensation. So, please, officers, give us a break and go find the mastermind to solve the problem."
...
Yang Chen suddenly felt that being mistaken for someone else wasn't such a bad thing. At least everyone here was quite sensible.
So, let them continue misunderstanding, as there was no downside.
The police immediately asked Zhang Hengzhi what was going on and why he had smashed Yang Chen's car.
Zhang Hengzhi promptly replied, "My name is Zhang Hengzhi, my dad is Zhang Yaowu, chairman of Yao Wu Group. This guy stole my girlfriend, so teaching him a lesson wasn't wrong, was it?"
Announcing his family background upfront was Zhang Hengzhi's usual style.
Not to mention, it usually worked like a charm.
Those less affluent than his family instantly became fearful.
Those stronger than his family didn't want things to become too tense.
Thus, he could solve most issues by just announcing his family background.
The police officer remained calm and asked, "Your girlfriend? Is it her?"
Zhang Hengzhi nodded.
Wang Qian Ni quickly said, "Officer, you've got it wrong, I'm not his girlfriend."
Then Wang Qian Ni hugged Yang Chen tightly, saying, "Clearly, I'm his girlfriend, can't you see how tightly I'm holding him?"
Zhang Hengzhi gritted his teeth in anger and said, "Wang Qian Ni, don't deliberately look for trouble!"
Wang Qian Ni chuckled, saying, "You're calling me your girlfriend, so do you know what I've got tattooed on my back?"
Zhang Hengzhi was stunned for a moment, then replied, "How would I know what you've got tattooed on your back?"
Wang Qian Ni then asked Yang Chen, "Honey, why don't you tell him what I've got tattooed on my back."
Yang Chen was initially taken aback, then instinctively replied, "Guan Gong?"
Wang Qian Ni immediately kissed Yang Chen's lips hard, saying, "Honey, you guessed it right!"
Then Wang Qian Ni lifted her T-shirt, revealing her back.
Oh boy, it really was Guan Gong tattooed there, with eyes wide open too; she's really aiming high!
"Whoa, you…" Yang Chen really didn't know what to say.
Wang Qian Ni said with a cheeky smile, "Last night, I went home, and when you mentioned my back might have Guan Gong tattooed on it, I found it quite amusing. So I fulfilled your wish and got one tattooed. How about it? Is it cool?"
Wang Qian Ni proudly put down her shirt.
"Cool! Cool…" Yang Chen instinctively replied, really not knowing what more to say.
The police officer laughed and said, "Young lady, you're really tough! I've caught many troublemakers, but none are as tough as you. Your wide-eyed Guan Gong tattoo is impressive. Well, I understand the situation now, it's just a relationship dispute. You young folks sure love these dramas. Zhang Heng... Zhang Hengzhi, right?"
Zhang Hengzhi nodded.
The police officer continued, "Are you willing to compensate voluntarily?"
Zhang Hengzhi immediately shook his head and replied, "I'm willing to compensate, but it must be through a court ruling."
The police officer chuckled, saying, "Are you stupid? If you voluntarily compensate and gain the car owner's forgiveness, then it's over. Bringing it to court for a ruling won't be solved by mere compensation. Intentionally damaging others' property over 5,000 yuan meets the criminal offense standard. Do you understand?"
Zhang Hengzhi immediately said, "My dad is Zhang Yaowu, I..."
The police officer immediately interrupted him angrily, "I don't care who your dad is, intentionally damaging others' property is unlawful and a criminal act. Think clearly about how you want to solve this."
There were so many people watching, yet Zhang Hengzhi kept mentioning his dad, Zhang Yaowu—the officer wasn't going to pay attention to him.
Zhang Hengzhi was a bit scared; if it went to court and led to a sentencing, it would cost way more to settle.
So, it's still more economical to compensate now.
"Alright then, I'm willing to voluntarily compensate for this car. I'm not short of this money. Tell me, how much? Would ten thousand be enough?" Zhang Hengzhi said smugly.
At this moment, Yang Chen sneered and said, "Did I say I accept a private settlement? Officer, I'm now telling you in front of everyone that I do not accept a private settlement, no matter how much money is offered! I want Zhang Hengzhi to get his wish and go to court for a ruling!"
