ABT Chapter 0126 Shameless and Foolish

Hongrui was undoubtedly lucky.

It's not that people fear encountering difficulties; it's the fear of facing them alone.

After presenting the test report on the forum, the situation immediately changed. Some netizens who had originally supported Hongrui changed their attitude. Some even turned from supporters to critics, questioning the authenticity of the axle breaking incident, suspecting that he was trying to shift blame onto Mitsubishi after the accident.

Fortunately, after spending some time together and gaining an understanding of the accident process, Xiaowu, Wuyou, and others still firmly believed in him. The post questioning the Nanqi Automotive Research Center further strengthened their beliefs.

This test report was inaccurate.

Upon returning home, Wuyou and the others immediately sent a private message to Lifan Yu, but received no reply.

With the court date approaching, they urgently needed this test report. So, reluctantly, Xiaowu approached the editor-in-chief and accessed the website's backend to retrieve the phone number left by Please Call Me Fan when registering as a user.

After various twists and turns, they finally contacted Lifan Yu.

He was currently at the airport picking someone up—Anning was returning from the capital.

After dropping Anning off at home, Lifan Yu received Xiaowu's call. Upon learning the current situation, he immediately agreed to conduct sample testing for Hongrui.

At this moment, the vast number of netizens on the forum finally realized that Please Call Me Fan was none other than the famous developer of ZGX888.

It must be said that due to the popularity of ZGX888, Zhengxin Automotive Laboratory was highly regarded in people's minds. They had even overlooked it when thinking about testing.

Seriously, they're engine researchers! Would they bother with these little issues?

So, after their identities were exposed, there was a chorus of backtracking on the forum. Users who had previously mocked in the post were called out, and their arguments were completely debunked.

After Lifan Yu's promise, Hongrui realized—the axles and steering drums sent for inspection were still at the Nanqi Research Center!

So, he hurried back and retrieved the evidence left at Nanqi. Due to his anxiety, he quickly checked and, seeing that the items were the same as those he had sent, he rushed to Tiancheng.

Little did he know, the two iron lumps in his bag were indeed similar to the ones he had sent before. But the cross-sections were quite different.

And this became the key turning point in the whole incident.

Lifan Yu warmly welcomed everyone to the laboratory. After chatting for a while, they realized that there were numerous connections between them. Wuyou and Xiaowu had bought a car through Pincar.com, and the seller was none other than Lifan Yu.

So, fate is indeed miraculous.

Zhengxin Laboratory's equipment testing system was incredibly fast and had an insanely high accuracy rate. Using it for this basic testing felt like using a cannon to kill a mosquito.

So, after just over an hour, the test results were out. The report was detailed, with various data and graphics, very objective and accurate. But it was all for naught—the test results were the same as those from Nanqi Group.

This surprised everyone.

Lifan Yu rubbed his chin, looking at the front axle and steering drum in front of him, and clicked his tongue.

"Hong ge, based on the test results, this fracture was indeed caused by external factors. There are clear signs of cutting on the axle, just this alone is enough to prove that the axle broke not due to quality issues."

Holding the thick test report, Hongrui had completely lost hope, and even he himself began to waver.

It's over, all over. My whole life, ruined.

Trembling, he took out a pack of cigarettes, but couldn't find a single one. Seeing this, Xiaowu shook his head with a sigh, taking out his own cigarette and lighting it for him.

Hongrui sat on the ground, puffing away, tears falling incessantly.

When Professor Zhang and the three academic elites arrived at the laboratory, they saw a group of men standing at the door, their faces full of grief.

Curiously, Professor Zhang approached Lifan Yu and asked, "Xiaofan, what's going on?"

Upon seeing Professor Zhang, Lifan Yu immediately approached and explained the situation.

It was said that during a chat with the three academic elites, these disciples evaluated Professor Zhang like this—he was born in the wrong era.

Professor Zhang, beneath his stern and stubborn appearance, was actually extremely disciplined and had a courageous spirit. This could be seen from the fact that he once caused a scene with the school leadership when going to Germany for a competition.

Although this old man was dry and thin, no one dared to question his potential to speak out against injustice when he saw it.

Indeed, after Lifan Yu's narration and everyone's additional remarks, Professor Zhang became concerned about the matter. Immediately, he put on his lab coat and led the eager academic elites into the laboratory.

In terms of quick thinking, Professor Zhang couldn't compare to Lifan Yu. In terms of management and operation, Professor Zhang couldn't compare to Anning. But when it came to academia, these two combined couldn't match up to Professor Zhang.

Furthermore, there were three geniuses behind him.

Therefore, within less than half an hour of entering the laboratory, Professor Zhang didn't even need to conduct experiments; he just came out holding something.

He threw the items at everyone's feet, saying, "This thing you brought isn't right."

Hongrui, who was lost in thought, snapped back, "Professor... Professor Zhang, what do you mean?"

Professor Zhang pointed at the front axle on the ground, "This axle and steering drum you submitted, the cross-section clearly shows signs of being fractured by external force. But this isn't right. Lifan just told me that your car has been driven for almost two years, right?"

Nervously, Hongrui nodded. He deeply respected the title of professor.

Frowning, Professor Zhang continued, "But the items you brought are new. Let's not talk about the cross-section for now. Neither of these items has any signs of wear on the threads. They've never been used."

Everyone was puzzled.

Only Hongrui, upon hearing this, immediately thought of the incident where the items were left at the Nanqi Research Center; could it be... the items were switched?!

He immediately voiced his speculation.

Professor Zhang straightened his sparse hair, took a few deep breaths in anger, then snorted, "Shameless and foolish. Don't they know that there are two sides to a fracture?"

Xiaowu immediately realized and slapped his thigh. "Quick, let's go! Let's go to the traffic police station and remove those two parts from the car!"

Lifan Yu didn't even need to think; he immediately realized that Mitsubishi had colluded with Nanqi. Although the specific reasons were unclear, the practice of Nanqi accepting bribes was no secret in the industry.

Today was truly eye-opening! He had seen unscrupulous behavior, he had seen shamelessness. But seeing both at the same time was indeed rare.

Hmm, truly rare.

Heh, these two actually teamed up to face off against us. Hmm, it seems like they noticed I've been feeling down lately and came to give me some excitement. It's like hitting a child on a rainy day, they're just idle.

Let me teach you how to be human!

He stopped Xiaowu and said, "There's no need for all of you to go to the traffic police station. Go to the notary office and have someone go to the scene for notarization."

After a brief thought, Xiaowu nodded heavily. "Wuyou, you and Hong ge go to the traffic police station to check the accident car. Lao Wan, come with me, we'll go to the notary office!"

Wuyou stubbed out his cigarette on the ground and crushed it with his foot. "Damn it, I don't believe they're omnipotent. They can't switch the physical evidence at the traffic police station too!"
