Chapter 616: Car Accident
"Alright, Second Grandpa, we should get ready for the reception. Let’s go meet this Li Qingyan first. Also, we need to expedite that other matter. However, you must win the championship at the National Medicine Conference this time, or our plan will be affected," Gu Lingshan said as he stood up.
"The National Medicine Conference of the mere eight prefectures of the Southern Territory? Winning first place is a piece of cake. Our Gu Family has taken first place at this Southern Territory National Medicine Conference for ten consecutive sessions. My goal is the championship of the World National Medicine Conference," Gu Baiyi said, extremely confident in his medical skills. He had never taken anyone seriously before, and this time was no exception.
"That’s great! As long as we win the National Medicine Conference championship, I can make sure that no one in Jingnan Prefecture will cooperate with the Qifei Group anymore," Gu Lingshan smiled. "I’m going to get changed!"
After donning his evening attire and spraying on what he thought was a charming cologne, Gu Lingshan looked at himself in the mirror and couldn’t help but smile. "What a handsome man. If I were a woman, I would definitely fall in love with you! Tonight, Li Qingyan, you won’t escape this handsome man’s grasp."
This man was exceedingly confident in his charm, having already toyed with numerous women thanks to the good looks the heavens had bestowed upon him. He naturally wouldn’t let Li Qingyan slip through his fingers. She was just too special; whether it was her looks, family background, or capabilities, she was everything he wanted.
「」
On the other side, Li Qingyan was also ready. Dressed in a stunning evening gown, she looked like Snow White incarnate—a sight that even made Yang Qi pause for a moment.
"I wonder which man will be lucky enough to marry a woman like you," Yang Qi said with a smile. As Li Qingyan’s driver and bodyguard, he set off for the reception.
Li Qingyan sighed inwardly. The man she wished to marry might not actually marry her.
Upon arriving at the venue, Yang Qi told Li Qingyan to go in first while he went to park the car. The moment she stepped out, a wave of gasps rippled through the onlookers. She was like the moon among a sea of stars, captivating everyone’s attention.
By then, Yang Qi had found a parking space. Normally, there weren’t so many cars, but today’s reception was hosted by the Gu Family of Su Mansion. Many people had come hoping to curry favor, which had led to an extreme shortage of parking spots.
After finally finding a parking spot, Yang Qi parked the car and switched off the engine. He was just about to leave when someone suddenly called out to him.
"Hey, you can’t park there! Move your car immediately; this spot is reserved for Young Master Gu," a security guard yelled.
Just as Yang Qi was about to respond, a limited-edition Lamborghini pulled up. A man got out and shouted at the security guard, "Where’s the parking spot I told you to save?"
The security guard replied with a wry smile, "Brother Jiang, I saved the spot, but this kid took it."
The driver got out, glanced at Yang Qi, and waved his hand dismissively. "A shabby Mercedes? Do you have the right to park here? Get lost!"
"Watch your mouth, or someone will teach you how to speak," Yang Qi said, giving the driver a cold look. He knew this was just a driver who was used to throwing his master’s weight around. Yang Qi didn’t want to bother arguing with him, so his tone was still relatively polite.
But the driver clearly didn’t realize how dangerous Yang Qi was. "Kid, you’d better move your car right now, or I’ll smash it to pieces," he threatened viciously. With that, he kicked Yang Qi’s car, leaving a dent.
How utterly arrogant! Just a driver, and he acts so high and mighty? I can’t even imagine how arrogant his boss must be!
"What are you looking at? If you don’t move your car now, I guarantee it’ll be a heap of scrap metal," the driver bellowed.
The security guard chimed in, "Look here, brother, this is Brother Jiang, Young Master Gu’s driver. Even if he smashes your car, you’ll have to swallow your anger and do nothing. Don’t be so stubborn."
"Heh, I don’t care who he is. There’s no name on this parking spot, so it’s first come, first served. Why should I give it up just because his car is more expensive? What kind of logic is that?" Yang Qi glanced at the security guard. "Your job isn’t easy, so I won’t make things difficult for you. Stay out of this. I know your boss, so if anything happens, I’ll take the blame."
This hotel belonged to Jia Mengxue, and Yang Qi did indeed know her. He wasn’t lying.
The security guard looked at Yang Qi doubtfully and gritted his teeth. "Stop bluffing. You know our boss? I advise you to move your car now while I’m asking nicely. Things will get ugly if you don’t."
Yang Qi frowned. "I was going to let it slide since being a security guard isn’t easy, but since you insist on being Gu Lingshan’s dog, just remember this: I can be very vindictive. I will be telling your boss about this."
With that, he ignored the two idiots and turned to leave. He was supposed to be Li Qingyan’s bodyguard today and couldn’t leave her alone for too long.
"Stop right there!" the driver shouted, rushing over to grab Yang Qi’s arm.
Yang Qi glanced back at him and said coldly, "Kneel down. Slap yourself twice and come to your senses."
In that instant, the driver felt as if he had lost control of himself. He actually knelt on the ground and slapped his own face twice.
By the time Yang Qi had walked some distance away, the driver was still bewildered. He couldn’t understand why he had obeyed that kid’s command and slapped himself. As the realization sunk in, his bewilderment turned to fury.
"Get your security guards over here and smash this car!" the driver roared.
The security guard was now afraid. "Brother Jiang, that Mercedes may be nothing in your eyes, but it’s still worth several hundred thousand. If we smash it, I can’t afford to pay for the damages."
"Useless! I’ll do it myself!"
A sinister smile spread across the driver’s face. He got back into his Lamborghini and rammed it into the Mercedes, sending it flipping onto its side. Although the front of the Lamborghini was also mostly destroyed, the driver was quite pleased. In his mind, the kid would have to pay for all the damages, so it had nothing to do with him.
The security guard watched, dumbfounded and too scared to say a word.
"Remember, if anyone asks, you say that kid crashed into the car. Also, go delete this section of the surveillance footage," the driver sneered.
"Okay, no problem," the security guard, Liu, replied, immediately turning to leave.
The driver then smugly went to find Gu Lingshan to complain. "Young Master Gu, something terrible happened! Some lunatic took your parking spot, and when I said a few words to him, he rammed your car! The front is wrecked. The repairs will probably cost hundreds of thousands, if not over a million," the driver, Brother Jiang, said, giving Gu Lingshan a vivid, embellished account. He was quite the storyteller.
"Which son of a bitch hit my car and assaulted my driver? He must be courting death," Gu Lingshan roared. Although this driver was merely one of his dogs, to strike a dog is to slight its master. Daring to lay a hand on his dog meant that person was tired of living.
