"Admit it, didn't you smash it! Take him away!"
"Click!"
Chu Chuanjun was startled and hadn't yet recovered when a pair of silver handcuffs were already clasped on him.
In a flash of wit, he quickly yelled at his shady friends:
"Quick, call my dad and tell him to bail me out!"
He knew the trouble was huge, and only his dad could save him!
Civil disputes are generally easier to handle, just paying money, at most detention.
But this kind of intentional car smashing, involving a huge sum, could lead to criminal charges, even several years in prison!
Let alone Lin Shu, he might even be ruined for life!
"Wang Yi, you've completely screwed me over!"
Wearing silver handcuffs, Chu Chuanjun was escorted out of the private room.
Everyone around looked over, making Chu Chuanjun's face burn.
He couldn't help but say,
"Officer, can you put a hood on me?"
"A hood? Sorry, I didn't expect the case to be solved so quickly, I forgot to bring it when I left."
Chu Chuanjun: "..."
The surrounding people discussed animatedly:
"He still wants a hood, at a time like this, he still cares about his reputation!"
"Exactly, why didn't he care about his reputation when he committed the crime?"
"By the way, who is this guy, getting handcuffed so young!"
"I know him, Chu Chuanjun! The young master of Chu Smelting!"
"What did he do?"
"I heard the security guard say he reportedly smashed someone's Mercedes-Benz until it was totaled!"
"What? A Mercedes-Benz totaled? Wouldn't that require paying for two cars?"
"Two cars won't help! As a law student, I tell you, this matter is serious enough for criminal charges, a huge sum, three to seven years."
"A Mercedes-Benz isn't cheap, it's probably the full seven years!"
"Yeah, this guy, really bold!"
"Serves him right!"
...
Upon hearing "full seven years," Chu Chuanjun's legs went soft, and he nearly knelt.
Fortunately, the police officers on both sides held him up.
"Seven years, seven years, I'm finished!"
"I'm done for!"
Chu Chuanjun looked despondent, feeling as if his promising life was about to end before it even began!
His legs remained weak all the way, practically being carried by the police to outside the commercial street.
Chu Chuanjun's face was pale.
He saw a man and a woman standing in front: Wang Yi and Lin Shu!
"Wang Yi, Wang Yi!"
Chu Chuanjun's body trembled, unable to control himself, and he roared:
"Damn you, Wang Yi! You installed a dashcam just to deliberately plot against me! To ruin my life!"
He understood everything, but alas, it was too late!
"You deserve to die!"
Before Wang Yi could say anything, Xu Hou couldn't stand it anymore:
"Mr. Chu, you smashed the car yourself, and you blame others for installing a dashcam? What nonsense! Just for this, we must sue you! Give Brother Wang an explanation!"
Upon hearing "sue," Chu Chuanjun's face turned green.
If sued, his life would truly be over, with no room for maneuver!
He might even get the full seven years!
Chu Chuanjun shook his head violently and roared at Xu Hou:
"My dad, Chu Haisheng, is the chairman of Chu Smelting Group, don't mess around! Don't sue me!"
"Chu Haisheng?"
Xu Hou laughed:
"Chu Haisheng is useless! The chairman of a small company, Vanke doesn't even bat an eye!"
Xu Hou was an ordinary person with an ordinary family, incomparable to Chu Smelting Group or Chu Haisheng.
But the Vanke Group behind him was a Fortune Global 500 company, afraid of a small county-level enterprise?
Do you really think our Vanke legal team is made of pushovers?
Hearing this, Chu Chuanjun fell silent.
Their family truly couldn't contend with a behemoth like Vanke.
But he couldn't understand, didn't he smash Wang Yi's car?
Why was the Vanke manager so impulsive? More impulsive than Wang Yi?
He was still young and didn't quite understand the stakes involved.
But Wang Yi knew full well!
Firstly, Chu Chuanjun smashing the car almost ruined Xu Hou's future, so how could he not hate him?
Secondly, Xu Hou was also using this to express his attitude to Wang Yi, to curry favor with Wang Yi and prevent the situation from escalating.
Wang Yi's car was smashed in Vanke Property's parking lot, and he paid the parking fee, so Vanke bore responsibility.
After all, mall property management is not like residential community property management; it involves more complex interests.
Once this matter blew up and made the news, Vanke's stock price would fall, which would be a huge impact!
Like the BMW ice cream incident in his previous life, because they thought they were superior and were arrogant for a moment, it made headlines, and the market value plummeted by 15.8 billion...
If this incident also made the news and was then manipulated by competitors, then it would be over; Vanke's market value would also evaporate significantly.
His career as a manager would also be over!
To save his job and control the situation, Xu Hou could only engage in crisis public relations, state his position, and even curry favor with Wang Yi!
Sure enough, Xu Hou smiled and approached, pulling out a card:
"Brother Wang, the person has been caught, but our property management also feels bad. This shopping card has twenty thousand yuan in it, consider it compensation, please do accept it."
The unspoken meaning:
"Brother Wang, please take the card, don't make a big fuss, don't call the media! Let's talk it over, I don't want to be fired!"
This money, the company would pay anyway, it would just go through as an expense.
Using company money to protect himself, Xu Hou found it very reasonable.
Seeing that Wang Yi didn't refuse, Xu Hou breathed a sigh of relief, then looked at the security guards behind him:
"Remember Brother Wang and Miss Lin's license plate numbers, enter them into the system whitelist. From now on, when they come to park, let them pass without charge!"
"Yes, Manager!"
Wang Yi couldn't help but look at Xu Hou with higher regard; this guy was good at handling things:
"Don't worry, Manager Xu, this matter has nothing to do with Vanke, there won't be any unnecessary trouble!"
"Thank you, thank you! Brother Wang, you've eaten today, I'll treat you to dinner tomorrow night, let's have a good drink or two, us brothers!"
Xu Hou was beaming with joy, that's what he was waiting for.
If there were trouble and a bad impact, he, as manager, would be out of a job!
Watching this scene, Chu Chuanjun was filled with rage, glaring fiercely at Wang Yi.
Lin Shu's willow-like brows furrowed slightly, and she took out her phone to take a picture of him.
"???"
Chu Chuanjun was stunned, then somewhat touched:
"Lin Shu, are you taking my picture to look at when you miss me?"
"!!!"
Lin Shu rolled her eyes speechlessly, did the heroes of Mount Liang give you such courage?
"No, I'm going to post it in the family group so they can see this 'good match' they blindly set me up with - a criminal!"
"You..."
Chu Chuanjun's expression changed abruptly, feeling a suffocating tightness in his chest, as if it was about to explode, or as if being cut by a knife...
"Hahahaha, hahahaha!"
Chu Chuanjun laughed several times, acting like a madman, and actively climbed into the police car, feeling that life had lost all meaning.
Lin Shu smiled faintly, without much emotion.
Chu Chuanjun, relying on the long-standing family friendship, had pestered her for three years, becoming an unbearable nuisance and even giving her a complex.
Now, finally getting revenge, it felt good!
Afterward, Lin Shu drove Wang Yi to the police station to make a statement.
The case was very clear.
After Wang Yi and Xu Hou finished their statements, the station immediately filed the case!
Of course, the dashcam video was archived by the police.
After finishing up there, Wang Yi and Lin Shu walked out of the police station, just about to head back, when two figures blocked their way.
"Uncle Chu, Aunt Wei, what are you doing?"
Lin Shu's expression changed drastically, and she quickly stepped forward, blocking Wang Yi.
"Xiao Shu, don't be nervous, we mean no harm."
Chu Haisheng quickly said:
"This whole thing is that brat's fault, it's our failure in upbringing. We're just sincerely trying to offer compensation to Wang, with no ill intentions!"
As soon as he received the call and understood the situation, Chu Haisheng rushed over.
He didn't go to the police station, nor did he see Chu Chuanjun, but directly waited for Wang Yi.
Chu Haisheng was a shrewd person; he naturally knew the key lay with Wang Yi.
If Wang Yi wasn't willing to forgive, no one else could help with this matter!
As for using his influence to threaten Wang Yi?
Chu Haisheng wasn't foolish.
In the past two years, the country had been undergoing a large-scale crackdown; who would dare to court death at such a critical juncture?
Even without doing anything, he was afraid of being reported and having old scores brought up...
"Are you sure?"
Lin Shu was still somewhat worried.
"Of course, Xiao Shu, don't you trust your Uncle Chu's character?"
Chu Haisheng said.
Lin Shu was silent:
"..."
She muttered in her heart:
"Your son is no good, so you can't be much better!"
Wang Yi took Lin Shu's hand:
"It's alright, he just wants to communicate, it's fine."
"Mm."
Lin Shu nodded, then stepped aside.
"Student Wang, I apologize. Not teaching is the father's fault. That beast being able to commit such a wicked act has a great deal to do with me, as his father, being busy with my career and lax in discipline! It's my fault!"
Chu Haisheng's words were sincere:
"But Chuanjun is still young, and he has a long life ahead. To ruin his entire life because of a momentary impulse would truly be a bit cruel. We are willing to offer sufficient compensation to gain your understanding. We hope Student Wang can be lenient! Please!"
Saying this, Chu Haisheng bowed deeply, his body bent low.
His wife beside him also bowed, her eyes red from crying.
Two wealthy individuals with hundreds of millions in assets, at this moment, had to be so humble for Chu Chuanjun.
Wang Yi sighed.
This old fox immediately played the emotional card, followed by substantial compensation and a bow!
He couldn't find fault, so he just said,
"Please rise, both of you. I also believe Chu Chuanjun was just impulsive."
Chu Haisheng breathed a sigh of relief and quickly took out a bank card:
"The Mercedes-Benz V-Class, after all expenses, costs four to five hundred thousand. We'll give another five hundred thousand in compensation, for a total of one million. Please forgive Chuanjun!"
