"Kid, I advise you to take what you can get and stop there! It's already pretty decent of me not to demand money for my car repairs!" Chen Qiao seemed not to have caught the meaning in Fang Jueyu's words. "If you don't appreciate what I'm offering, don't even think about staying in the entertainment circle in the future!"
"Sister Ying, can I borrow your mirror for a moment?" Fang Jueyu suddenly said, seemingly out of nowhere.
"Young Master, what do you need a mirror for?" Although Zhuang Ying didn't know what Fang Jueyu was up to, she took out her makeup mirror from her bag.
"This idiot seems to have mistaken me for some male celebrity. I need to look in the mirror to see if I really am getting more handsome!" Fang Jueyu admired himself in the mirror. Indeed, after genetic enhancement, his features became defined and masculine. If ten points is perfect, he'd at least score an eight, right?
"Are you messing with me?" Chen Qiao was utterly infuriated by Fang Jueyu's flippant demeanor. "I'll give you one more chance, pay up for the repairs and scram!"
"Pay you for repairs?" Fang Jueyu was suddenly amused. "Did your P.E. teacher teach you law? I seriously doubt if you cheated on your driving test's written exam!"
Actually, Chen Qiao did have a driver's license, but someone of his status could easily obtain one. Normally, when his minor violations were realized, no one dared to scrutinize further due to his identity. He indeed didn't know the contents of the written exam.
"This guy's hopeless!" Fang Jueyu said, heading toward his car. He wanted to do something quite special; he felt like smashing a car. This time, although there wasn't a fire ax nearby, he did have a heavy ancient sword, which would be pretty satisfying to use on a car!
But the sword was stored in his stash space, so taking it out directly would be excessive. Thus, he pretended to search for something in the car. However, in Chen Qiao's eyes, all this signified something else — Fang Jueyu got cold feet!
"Tch, I thought he was some big shot rich kid, but he's just a performer!" Chen Qiao suddenly felt confident; just a performer, no matter how wealthy, his background boss could easily deal with him if they wanted.
Many internet famous stars and minor celebrities had ended up in his bed by this tactic, almost always successfully.
"Hold on!" Chen Qiao raised his voice, "You think you can just leave after hitting my car?"
Fang Jueyu paused. Why did this guy suddenly sound so assertive? He stopped his movements to see what Chen Qiao had to say.
"So what do you want then?" Fang Jueyu stared blankly at him.
"My car is worth over five million! It's going to need extensive repairs, so just give me a million bucks!" Chen Qiao acted as though he was the one being slighted. "And, have this girl join me for dinner tonight as an apology, and this matter will be over. Otherwise, I'll have your company blocklisted across all platforms!"
Chen Qiao didn't care which company Fang Jueyu was with. At least in his mind, there was no one Huayu Company couldn't offend. As long as they weren't the biggest shareholder of the top three entertainment companies, they had to give his father some face anyway.
"You looking for trouble?" Fang Jueyu drew the line at his friends. Although Zhuang Ying was just his assistant, he already treated her as a friend. Chen Qiao's words undoubtedly hit a sore spot with him.
"Sister Ying, go sit in the car. The next scene might be a bit inappropriate for youngsters." Fang Jueyu pulled the ancient sword out from the car.
Zhuang Ying was startled. She was well aware of how much stuff Fang Jueyu left with this morning. She could guarantee there absolutely wasn't such an ancient sword in the car!
Suddenly, she remembered something her grandfather once told her, "Xiao Ying, while working for Young Master Fang, never be surprised no matter what inconceivable things you see. Just keep everything you witness to yourself!"
Initially, Zhuang Ying pondered what those words meant. Now, she seemed to understand a bit.
"Xiao Yi, block all nearby surveillance. I'm going to smash this car!" Fang Jueyu dragged the ancient sword, step by step, forward.
"You got it!" Ever since Xiao Yi joined Fang Huai, it became somewhat unruly. But since Fang Jueyu became its host, it had turned even more mischievous. Still, it executed Fang Jueyu's commands nearly unconditionally.
In an instant, all surrounding communication devices and surveillance were blocked. If someone stood by the monitors, they'd see the area as if hit by a flashbang, with only a blinding white light remaining.
The ancient sword was tremendously heavy, and its scraping sound on the ground made one's skin crawl.
"What… what are you doing?" Chen Qiao and his companion were so scared by this overwhelming presence that they involuntarily stepped back several paces.
"You see, I'm pretty good-tempered. If you had just apologized and offered some compensation earlier, this matter would've been over," Fang Jueyu said, "But you shouldn't have threatened me with those words, even if your threats mean nothing to me!"
"Don't do anything crazy! I-"
"Crash!" Before he could finish, Fang Jueyu swung the ancient sword onto the car's windshield. Weighing over a hundred pounds, even Huaxia-made tempered glass was no match. The immense impact even pushed the car several inches back.
"Whoa, this thing's way more effective than a fire ax!" Fang Jueyu remarked with satisfaction.
"You dare smash my car? Do you believe—"
"Crash!" Another blow fell, this time caving in the car's hood. "Oh, forgot to tell you, this isn't the first car I've smashed. The previous guy's still behind bars!"
Fang Jueyu unleashed five or six more strikes, all aimed at the car's front. To an outsider, it might have looked like a severe car accident had mangled the vehicle.
"Xiao Yi, take care of the surveillance data for me, delete everything after the collision moment!"
"Host, you're really crafty!" Xiao Yi was somewhat impressed by Fang Jueyu's cunning.
"Heh heh, last time the guy was drunk and guilty, so naturally didn't dare cause me more trouble," Fang Jueyu explained, "Today's a bit different, though the speeding was his fault, the situation isn't that dire. If he blamed me, it could cause me some hassle!"
"All right, that's it for now!" Fang Jueyu returned to the car, pretending to "stash" the ancient sword back. Zhuang Ying sneaked a glance, realizing the sword had miraculously vanished!
"Definitely something shady!" Zhuang Ying's pupils dilated and then returned to a shocked state. Nonetheless, the astonishment in her heart wasn't easy to calm.
"Oh, by the way, my name is Fang Jueyu. If you think you have what it takes, feel free to come after me," Fang Jueyu and Zhuang Ying got back into the car, "But you'd better think twice about what troubles it might bring! Even if your Huayu's biggest shareholder Mr. Xiang came, I wouldn't necessarily be afraid!"
Fang Jueyu hit the accelerator and slowly drove into the underground parking lot.
Chen Qiao's expression fluctuated, staring at his half-destroyed car, lost in thought.
"Young Master Qiao, just let him walk away like that?" Chen Qiao's companion tugged at his sleeve.
"Not a chance!" Chen Qiao felt a deep heartache looking at his half-wrecked car but wouldn't call the police. In their circle, an unwritten rule was that heir conflicts must be resolved privately. If he reported it, he'd be ridiculed by those around him. Actually, Fang Jueyu didn't even need Xiao Yi to do what it did.
"We're going to find Young Master Xiang!"
