Chapter 691: Despairing Roar

Whether Li Hengbo's heart is fine or not, whether it hurts or not, everyone can see; if his heart doesn't hurt, how could his facial expression twist into a look of pain?

No doubt!

Lin Dongfan's such pretentious, Versailles-style bragging stabbed into Li Hengbo's heart like a knife, completely shattering all his fantasies.

Damn it!

One a red-third-generation, the other a newly retired anti-corruption bureau chief from the officialdom!

He actually flaunted his terrifying wealth in public! Flunted his connections! Completely disregarding social impact, Lin Dongfan, you damn bastard, is simply a lunatic!

Faced with such a lunatic who acts without regard for consequences, Li Hengbo is also at a loss.

At this moment of rolling thunder, Li Hengbo only felt his brains about to explode, his lame leg could barely support him, his legs inexplicably went weak, and he could only prop himself up with the golden cane in his hand.

The scene fell into dead silence.

At the moment Li Hengbo was choked speechless, the others present were also shocked by Lin Dongfan's move of 'pulling the firewood from under the cauldron,' their worldviews shattered.

You bought a Mercedes-Benz 4S store just to vent anger at your wife?

This can't be described by the word 'rich' alone; this, damn it, is a dimensionality strike! Lin Dongfan, he's literally grinding the notion of 'wealth' that everyone has into the ground!

This, damn it, is not just about having money!

This is about having power!

Without terrifying power, it's impossible to change the ownership of a Mercedes-Benz 4S store with just a phone call! Some sharp observers have already begun guessing the background of Lin Dongfan and his wife.

And Xu Yaqiu, who knows the Lin family background like the back of her hand.

At this moment, she was already on the verge of collapse.

She watched Lin Dongfan's calm, carefree demeanor, then looked at her husband's grim, bereaved expression, and a surge of wicked fire mixed with extreme jealousy shot straight to the top of her head.

She violently shook off Li Hengbo's arm.

Her shrill voice split from extreme anger: 'Lin Dongfan! What are you being arrogant about?! Who knows if you're using the Lin family's dirty money! I tell you, I'm going to report you right now! Let you not get away with it!'

"Report me?"

Lin Dongfan looked at Xu Yaqiu as if she were an idiot.

He chuckled intriguingly: 'I, Lin Dongfan, am now a businessman, chairman of Zhengtong Group, a law-abiding taxpayer. I used my lawfully earned money to buy a 4S store to make my wife happy—tell me, which law have I broken? As for your husband's Rebirth Group…'

Saying that, Lin Dongfan's gaze was like an icy scalpel, fixed on the pallid Li Hengbo.

Lin Dongfan chuckled lightly: 'Manager Li, can your Rebirth Group withstand an investigation? Are those 'local specialties' sent to Li Zhenyang all clearly recorded? And that so-called 'international friend' named James—has he recently deposited several unclear 'consulting fees' into your private account? You're just a middleman.'

"!!!"

Li Hengbo clenched his teeth throughout, saying nothing.

Every word Lin Dongfan spoke was like a heavy hammer smashing hard into Li Hengbo's chest! He couldn't figure out how this damn Lin Dongfan knew everything.

Qian Youcai!

It must be that Qian Youcai, the traitor deserving of death by a thousand cuts!

But he's clearly already dead!

Could it be……

Li Hengbo suddenly recalled Lin Dongfan's previous mysterious methods, and a terrifying thought uncontrollably surfaced—could Qian Youcai's death be fake?!

Once this thought arose, it grew like a poisonous weed, instantly draining all his strength and luck.

If Qian Youcai isn't dead, the things he knows are enough to send Li Hengbo to the execution ground.

Immense fear, like icy floodwaters, instantly engulfed Li Hengbo.

He felt a sweet-salty surge rise to his throat, and his vision darkened in waves.

His capital for arrogance—wealth and backing—looked so ridiculous and feeble before Lin Dongfan's absolute strength and insight!

"Lin Dongfan, the mountains may not move but the water will—don't push people too far!"

Li Hengbo pointed at Lin Dongfan, his fingers trembling like withered leaves in the wind, his lips quivering, yet he couldn't utter a complete sentence.

That was a despair and fear emanating from deep within his soul.

"I was just casually showing off, why are you in a hurry? Stay calm—we agreed on death by a thousand cuts, and this is only the first cut, right? The road ahead is still long."

In the midst of talking and laughing, Lin Dongfan lost interest in watching Li Hengbo's sullen, resentful face.

Lin Dongfan put his arm around Chu Lingxi.

He leisurely walked to the S-class sedan that had been the center of attention, casually patted the hood, and asked the sales manager: 'Is this car now an asset of my store?'

"Yes yes yes! Director Lin! Of course!" The sales manager shuddered, nodded and bowed, his attitude respectful as if seeing an ancestor.

"Hmm, that's good."

Lin Dongfan nodded satisfactorily.

He turned and asked Li Hengbo and Xu Yaqiu: 'You cripple… oh wait, I should be polite, I'll address you as Manager Li…'

"!!!"

A hundred thousand grass-mud horses roared in Li Hengbo's heart, he stood stunned with a black line on his head, unable to retort.

Lin Dongfan chuckled again: 'Manager Li, Madam Li, you don't like this car? Didn't you say you'd buy it at five times the price? Considering our acquaintance, I won't gouge you at five times—how about you pay ten times instead.'

"Why don't you go rob then!" Xu Yaqiu shot back, unable to hold back.

Lin Dongfan replied righteously: 'Robbery is illegal, selling cars isn't; besides, who makes more money from robbery than selling cars? Selling to you at ten times the price is already cheap—don't believe me, ask your husband.'

"Ten times ten times, am I scared of you? Husband, swipe the card!"

Spending her husband's money, Xu Yaqiu truly didn't feel the slightest pang; to regain her lost face, today even if it meant losing everything, she would spare no expense.

Turning back, she saw Li Hengbo lowering his head like a repressed fool, silent.

Xu Yaqiu angrily shoved him again: 'I told you to swipe the card, are you deaf? Hurry up! It's just a broken Mercedes-Benz; we're not unable to afford it!'

"!!!"

Li Hengbo glanced at Lin Dongfan's gentle, water-like little wife—Chu Lingxi—and then at his own side, this clueless, airheaded Xu Yaqiu.

A careful comparison revealed a faint trace of sorrow on his face.

He couldn't help but think:

This spendthrift woman—she's simply a disgrace in my life! If I had married Li Shuting, the second daughter of the Li family of Wu Zhou, perhaps I could still hold my head high in front of Lin Dongfan…

"I won't buy!"

Li Hengbo, seething with resentment, turned and walked away.

Xu Yaqiu immediately grabbed him back, shouting at the top of her lungs: 'You cripple, did you take the wrong medicine? He can buy the whole shop, what's wrong with us buying a car? You're shameless, I want!'

"I have no right to pay ten times the price for his junk car? You're an idiot, come back with me!" Li Hengbo then grabbed Xu Yaqiu, trying to pull her out of the 4S shop.

Xu Yaqiu flung her arm away and shouted on the spot: 'You cripple! If you don't buy this car today, I'll divorce you!'
