Chapter 198 I’ll Fix the Car
After carefully looking at the three characters “Zhou Xianwei” again, Su Rui turned and left.
Since he had already verified the answer in his heart, there was no point in staying here any longer. He didn’t even take out the two exceptional blades from his bag.
“Sir, why are you leaving like this? We’d like to hear your insights on how you identified this seemingly authentic painting as a forgery?”
Su Rui had no interest in putting on a show here, and simply replied indifferently: “I guessed.”
“You can’t leave!” Zhang Xuanqi ran up and stood in front of Su Rui, saying viciously: “This painting could have been worth 80 million, but you’ve made it worthless! You must compensate me for my loss!”
“Compensate you for your loss?” Su Rui gave a cold laugh: “Sorry, I’m not interested.”
“80 million, not a penny less!” Zhang Xuanqi’s face was almost distorted with anger!
It would have been better if he hadn’t tasted sweetness at all. But having just learned how much money his painting was worth, without seeing a penny of it, Su Rui had knocked him from heaven back to hell. This psychological gap was simply indescribable, and only Su Rui’s compensation could heal his mental wounds!
In fact, the painting was bought by Zhang Xuanqi’s father for 5 million. Even if it was fake, Su Rui should at least compensate 5 million.
Su Rui didn’t like owing others anything, especially money, but because Zhang Xuanqi was being so incredibly rude, repeatedly pestering him and acting insufferably arrogant, Su Rui had no intention of compensating him for the painting. For people like this, the more you crush them, the better.
“Move aside.”
Having learned that Zhou Xianwei wasn’t dead, Su Rui was in a fairly good mood. He didn’t want his good mood to be ruined by an idiot like Zhang Xuanqi, so he extended his hand and pushed him, making him stumble.
Watching Su Rui’s departing figure, Gu Wan’er’s expression was somewhat complex. She never would have imagined that such a young man could possess such amazing appraisal abilities, at a level no less than the elders in her family!
Zhang Xuanqi nearly fell to the ground, looking utterly pathetic. He said viciously: “You won’t be able to leave so easily. Today, you won’t get away from me smoothly no matter what!”
Su Rui gave him a cold glance and turned to walk out of the auction hall. Gu Wan’er frowned thoughtfully, then quickly followed behind.
Seeing Gu Wan’er follow, the resentment in Zhang Xuanqi’s eyes grew even more intense!
The woman he was determined to have was now openly taking sides by following the man who had destroyed his 80 million!
When Su Rui exited the Guohua Pawnshop and was about to move his car, he discovered that his Passat’s body was now covered in dents, and even the windshield was shattered!
Looking at all this, Su Rui’s expression turned cold.
He looked around but saw no suspicious individuals. Clearly, whoever had maliciously damaged his car had already fled and hidden.
Gu Wan’er followed Su Rui and also saw this scene. Her face didn’t look good, after all, the car was parked in front of Guohua, and as the manager, she should provide an explanation no matter what.
“Mr. Su, I’m sorry about this. We will definitely investigate thoroughly and give you a reasonable explanation,” Gu Wan’er quickly said.
“It’s fine, this isn’t your fault,” Su Rui glanced at the beautiful woman, showing no intention of blaming her.
Hearing this, Gu Wan’er felt somewhat relieved. It seemed Su Rui wasn’t angry with her, and hadn’t taken her attitude during the appraisal meeting to heart.
Su Rui glanced at the Mercedes nearby and asked, “Do you have a hammer?”
“Yes, but may I ask what you need a hammer for?” Gu Wan’er was puzzled.
“To fix the car,” Su Rui said, looking at the Passat with a smile.
Seeing this smile, Gu Wan’er felt something stir in her heart and said, “I have a hammer in my car. I’ll get it for you.”
At this moment, Gu Wan’er didn’t even stop to think about how a hammer could fix a car—it seemed more likely to destroy one.
When Gu Wan’er handed the hammer to Su Rui, she saw him walk over to Zhang Xuanqi’s Mercedes. With one swing, the entire windshield was instantly covered with spider web-like cracks!
Gu Wan’er of course knew this was Zhang Xuanqi’s car. Seeing Su Rui’s actions, she quickly said, “Mr. Su, what are you…”
Su Rui continued without stopping, smashing all the windows except the right car door before answering: “He destroyed my car like this, so I’m just giving his car a little repair. That shouldn’t be too much, right?”
Although Gu Wan’er believed Zhang Xuanqi was capable of such things, she still said, “But how can you be sure it was Zhang Xuanqi? What if it was someone else?”
“It won’t be anyone else. I have my judgment.”
As Su Rui said this, his right hand had already pulled out a mini dagger from his pocket. He stabbed and slashed the front tire, immediately producing a sharp hissing sound that assaulted the eardrums!
The front tire was deflating at a visibly rapid rate!
Faced with this man who looked refined but whose behavior was extremely violent, Gu Wan’er didn’t know what to do and could only watch as Su Rui turned Zhang Xuanqi’s luxury Mercedes into a pile of scrap metal!
Whether it was infatuation or something else, when she saw Su Rui swinging the hammer without hesitation, Gu Wan’er felt no disgust at all. Instead, an indescribable emotion welled up from the depths of her heart.
This man was just too cool!
Zhang Xuanqi walked out just in time to see Su Rui smash the car’s sunroof with a hammer, and he nearly went mad with rage!
Su Rui’s car was indeed damaged by people Zhang Xuanqi had sent, but in the eyes of these wealthy young masters, only they could smash other people’s cars. If anyone dared to retaliate, they were asking for death!
“Are you looking to die? Are you fucking crazy? You ruined my painting and now you’re smashing my car!” Zhang Xuanqi shouted, “Wang Fei, where are you idiots hiding? Are you all blind?”
At a nearby street corner, several men were squatting together, smoking and chatting. They all had fashionable haircuts, and each had a hammer placed beside them.
Hearing Zhang Xuanqi’s shout, these men quickly threw away their cigarettes, grabbed their hammers, and ran out from around the corner!
“Boss Qi, what happened?” The young man called Wang Fei had fiery red hair and looked somewhat gaunt, probably from excessive smoking, drinking, gambling, and womanizing that had taken a toll on his body.
Zhang Xuanqi stepped forward and immediately gave his subordinate a hard slap that left Wang Fei dizzy. Pointing at the Mercedes, he said, “Look, someone smashed my car! Are you all fucking blind?”
Seeing the dented and battered Mercedes, Wang Fei immediately became furious: “Which bastard dared to smash Boss Qi’s car? Are they tired of living?”
“I did it.”
Just as Wang Fei finished speaking, Su Rui was already standing in front of him!
“You did it?” Wang Fei could read the situation and knew he needed to perform well or his young master would be angry. He said viciously, “You smash cars, I’ll smash you!”
However, just as he raised his hammer, Su Rui’s foot was already planted on his chest, kicking him hard and sending him flying three or four meters, crashing into the crowd! He even knocked down several other lackeys in the process!
After delivering that kick, Su Rui grabbed Zhang Xuanqi with one hand and dragged him to the side of the Mercedes!
No matter how much Zhang Xuanqi struggled, he couldn’t break free from Su Rui’s iron-like grip!
Dragging him to the right car door of the Mercedes, Su Rui said, “I deliberately left one window unbroken earlier. Do you know why?”
“I don’t give a fuck why!” Zhang Xuanqi roared. “What are you all waiting for? Come and finish him! Are you just standing there watching the show?”
Hearing this, Wang Fei and the others quickly got up from the ground and charged toward Su Rui with their hammers raised.
Su Rui didn’t even bother to glance at them, saying calmly, “Because this window is reserved for you.”
With that, Su Rui grabbed Zhang Xuanqi’s hair and smashed his head hard against the window!
Gu Wan’er watched this brutal action and almost cried out in shock, covering her mouth!
Wang Fei and his men were also so frightened that they stopped in their tracks!
Small-time thugs were just that—very different from real gangsters.
With a dull thud, the window only shook slightly without any cracks!
Zhang Xuanqi felt like his skull was about to shatter, the pain almost explosive!
“Looks like I didn’t use enough force,” Su Rui said, then grabbed his head again and smashed it hard against the glass!
After five consecutive smashes, Zhang Xuanqi finally collapsed limply to the ground! His head was cut open, blood flowing freely!
The glass had finally developed spider web-like cracks, which in some ways proved the Mercedes’ good safety standards.
Su Rui turned to face Gu Wan’er, who was too shocked to speak, and said, “He won’t die, just a concussion at most. You can call an ambulance.”
As if possessed, Gu Wan’er nodded and took out her phone to call an ambulance.
Su Rui looked at the thugs who stood frozen with their hammers raised, and coldly smiled: “Who’s your boss?”
“…” Meeting Su Rui’s gaze, Wang Fei couldn’t bring himself to lower his raised hammer.
“My patience is limited.” After saying this, Su Rui suddenly grabbed Wang Fei’s head and delivered a powerful knee strike!
His knee crashed into Wang Fei’s forehead with brutal simplicity. Caught by surprise, Wang Fei had no chance to counter and immediately passed out, his eyes rolling back!
“You answer my question.” Su Rui grabbed another man.
The thug with yellow hair was terrified by Su Rui’s ruthlessness and immediately trembled, saying, “Don’t hit me, don’t hit me! I’ll tell you everything!”
“Speak!”
“Forest Bar, Zhang Hao.”
“Zhang Hao?” Su Rui narrowed his eyes. “He’s in the underworld?”
“More or less… more or less, I guess!” The thug answered shakily, afraid that one wrong word would result in a severe concussion!
Su Rui threw the Passat’s car keys to him and said, “Tell your boss to fix it for me. I’ll come to collect the car tomorrow at this time.”
