ABT Chapter 0010

The next day, Li Fanxiu arrived at the police station early in the morning.

He didn't dare to hand over the car at the repair shop. He had already fully experienced the character of the other party. If one were to describe a scumbag, it would be East 365 times over.

Li Fanxiu didn't have a driver's license, but he knew how to drive. Since he was young, Li Fanxiu had been secretly practicing with a bunch of old cars.

Moreover, this was an automatic transmission Mercedes-Benz.

But he drove this route with trepidation, on the one hand afraid of being stopped by traffic police, on the other hand afraid of any problems with the car. After all, the sound of the engine was really terrifying.

After parking the car, Li Fanxiu called Officer Zhang. Soon, Officer Zhang and Wang Dong and others came over.

Dongzi swaggered over, grinning, and said to Li Fanxiu from afar, "How's it going? Did you make the car worse than before? Don't be afraid, just give us the money obediently, anyway those two pieces of sheet metal have to be replaced. Haha."

Li Fanxiu chuckled and ignored him.

When everyone arrived at the car, their expressions were truly wonderful.

The first to speak was Dongzi, "Damn! How is this possible?"

His subordinates looked at the car and even pressed their faces against the hood, inch by inch inspecting it, but still couldn't see any flaws.

Yes, it was just like the original. Even some fine lines and slight scratches couldn't be discerned.

If they didn't know where the damage was beforehand, they wouldn't dare to say that this was a repaired hood.

Officer Zhang also looked surprised. In his amazement, he glanced deeply at Li Fanxiu, thoughtful.

"Alright, the car has been repaired for you, here's the key. Now, it's time for you to fulfill your promise." Li Fanxiu put the key on the car and looked at Dongzi with satisfaction.

Wang Dong still widened his eyes, repeatedly touching the car paint. Hearing Li Fanxiu's words, he gritted his teeth and said, "This is impossible! Kid, did you steal someone else's parts and replace them? Or did you use some temporary paint that looks the same but will reveal its true form after a while?"

Li Fanxiu chuckled and sneered, "If you don't believe me, you can go to the 4S store for an appraisal, but I don't have time to accompany you, you better hurry."

Wang Dong spat heavily and said, "Fine! Let's go for the appraisal."

Officer Zhang pulled Wang Dong aside and whispered, "Dongzi, I'm not going. You guys solve your own problems."

Wang Dong glared at him fiercely, shrugged, and turned into the police station.

Officer Zhang wasn't stupid. He was clear about the flaws in the testimony. They were all witnesses brought by Wang Dong, and their statements couldn't withstand scrutiny.

If the other party had been intimidated, it would have been fine, but now the car had been repaired to perfection. If Li Fanxiu retaliated and said that his uncle didn't actually damage the car, and it was all a setup by Dongzi, he would be responsible for the case and the testimony.

He wouldn't wade into this muddy water. Accepting Wang Dong's favors was one thing, but the matter could only be handled to this extent.

The police hat had to be preserved.

Wang Dong spat heavily at him and beckoned everyone to get in the car and head straight to the 4S store.

Li Fanxiu didn't want to ride in the same car with them, so he hailed a taxi and followed.

There was a Mercedes-Benz 4S store in the Nan Cheng district. They arrived shortly. The staff in the store immediately approached them warmly when they saw them driving their own brand of car.

After being informed that the car needed an appraisal, the receptionist immediately smiled and contacted a technician.

Li Fanxiu took out his phone and scrolled through Weibo for a while, and the technician arrived.

The technician was around forty years old, with silver hair and very rugged facial features. It wasn't until he walked in that everyone could see that his eyes were blue, indicating that he was a foreigner.

The receptionist introduced enthusiastically, "Sorry for the wait, this is our shop's technical advisor, Rafael Grön. Mr. Grön was arranged by the German headquarters to provide guidance to our shop. I heard that you want to conduct a technical assessment of the car, so he specially came over. Mr. Grön has been working in after-sales service for many years and is very authoritative in vehicle condition assessment."

Dongzi and the others were stunned. They extended their hands and awkwardly attempted to communicate in English.

Unexpectedly, Grön greeted directly in stiff Chinese, "Nice to meet you. What problems does the car have?"

Only then did Dongzi put away his embarrassment and explained the intention of the appraisal, which made Li Fanxiu smirk secretly.

After listening to Dongzi's description, Grön inspected the car repeatedly for quite some time.

After a while, he straightened up, frowned, and asked, "Are you sure the car's sheet metal and paint have been repaired?"

Dongzi immediately nodded and pointed to the car, saying, "Yes, here, and here too."

Grön turned around at his words and carefully inspected the locations pointed out by Dongzi. After thinking for a while, he even went to the repair workshop to fetch tools and removed the hood and left fender of the car entirely.

He turned the hood and fender over, meticulously inspecting them as if picking bones from an egg. When he saw the rust on the bottom of the car's tie rod, he furrowed his brows and shook his head.

After the inspection, he stood up, with a stern face, and said, "I don't know what your purpose is for insisting that this car has been repaired. But with my twenty-five years of repair experience and the identity of a senior Mercedes-Benz technician, I can tell you categorically that the car's sheet metal and paint are original, and there has been absolutely no damage."

He skillfully reinstalled the hood and fender, dusted off his clothes, picked up the appraisal form, and wrote a paragraph in German, brushing it onto the car.

Before leaving, he turned to Dongzi and said, "Also, your car is the worst maintained car I have ever seen. There's nothing else, I'll go back to work now. Please don't play tricks on people casually, goodbye."

Dongzi and the others were completely petrified, looking at Li Fanxiu in disbelief.

Li Fanxiu, fearing Dongzi might change his mind, discreetly pocketed the appraisal form. Then he took out a piece of paper from his pocket and handed it to Dongzi, saying, "Dongzi, right? I'm handing the car back to you, and you've finished the appraisal. This is my bank account. The hospitalization fee for my uncle is thirty-six thousand five hundred. I won't charge you the five hundred, just give me thirty-six thousand five. I'm leaving now, goodbye."

After saying that, he strode away.

Dongzi clenched the piece of paper in his hand, his lips trembling with anger.

Just then, his phone rang.

He picked up the phone, hesitated slightly, but still answered, "Hello, big brother!"

"Is the matter I entrusted to you handled?"

"Not yet."

"The project at the second-hand car trading center is about to start. You need to hurry up. You've been by my side for so many years, and you can't handle such a small matter?"

"Big brother, it was almost done, but it was messed up by that guy's nephew. But don't worry, I'll take care of it right away. If soft methods don't work, then I'll use hard ones!"

"Be mindful of the consequences. After all, what we're doing now is legitimate business, understood?"

"I understand, big brother, I'll make sure to handle it cleanly!"

The call ended, and Dongzi wiped the sweat from his forehead. He turned around and instructed a few of his subordinates, "Find out where this kid came from and give him a good lesson!"

He paused for a moment, "And... smash up the repair shop for me!"
