Chapter 358: Why Make It So Complicated?

Two cars were parked by the street.

One was a white Mercedes.

The other was an old black Volkswagen sedan.

There was also a person from the insurance company.

It was indeed Chen Yingqiu who drove and rear‑ended the Mercedes.

But it wasn't her car's fault.

The car was moving fine, when the Mercedes ahead suddenly slammed on its brakes.

Chen Yingqiu was still inexperienced driving, and by the time she reacted and braked, the car had already hit the Mercedes.

The Volkswagen wasn't Chen Yingqiu's; it belonged to a man named Li Caijie from the same residential complex.

Li Caijie was a man in his early thirties.

He looked ordinary.

Through an introduction by a neighborhood aunt, he wanted to court Chen Yingqiu.

Chen Yingqiu said she had a boyfriend, repeated it several times, yet Li Caijie never gave up.

First, Chen Yingqiu was good‑looking.

Second, in Li Caijie's eyes, Chen Yingqiu was a country girl, easy to handle.

A third reason was that Chen Yingqiu could earn a lot of money.

If he married Chen Yingqiu, she could share part of his mortgage, and later they could buy a better car.

Chen Yingqiu said she had a boyfriend, but Li Caijie saw that as an excuse to reject him.

Li Caijie was confident, believing his superior conditions would definitely win Chen Yingqiu.

Because he had a good job at Azure Peak Industry, serving as a workshop supervisor with an annual salary over one hundred thousand.

Why was Chen Yingqiu driving this car?

It was because an elderly neighbor fell ill and asked Chen Yingqiu to take her to the hospital.

When Li Caijie saw Chen Yingqiu helping the elderly neighbor out, he proactively ran over and offered his car to her.

Chen Yingqiu didn't think much at the time.

Neighbors should help each other, after all!

After delivering the elderly lady to the hospital, when she drove back, it was already dark.

Then a rear‑end collision occurred.

After pulling the car to the roadside, Chen Yingqiu argued with the Mercedes owner.

Chen Yingqiu obviously couldn't just pay a hundred thousand yuan outright.

She wasn't a fool; the Mercedes was only slightly damaged at the rear, costing at most ten thousand yuan to repair.

But according to the owner, it required a major repair.

This wasn't a repair, but extortion.

Feeling helpless, Chen Yingqiu called Li Caijie.

Li Caijie hailed a ride and rushed over.

Chen Yingqiu wanted Li Caijie to file the insurance claim and handle it accordingly.

She would cover the increased insurance premium for Li Caijie.

Anyway, this Volkswagen was old and wouldn't last many more years.

Li Caijie not only refused, but also beat around the bush to speak on behalf of the Mercedes owner.

Then he hinted to Chen Yingqiu that if she pretended to be his girlfriend, he would file the insurance for her.

Otherwise, she would have to pay the compensation herself.

Seeing Li Caijie's smug look, Chen Yingqiu took out her phone from her pocket,

She told Li Caijie, "I called my boyfriend over; this won't be that simple."

The four people in the Mercedes, watching nearby, laughed.

There was not even a hint of shame in conspiring against a woman.

In fact, the four of them were also driving borrowed cars.

They wanted a hundred thousand yuan: first, they feared the car owner wouldn't be easy to deal with; second, they hoped to profit from the situation.

If they followed traffic regulations and used insurance, the money wouldn't reach them.

Li Caijie's arrival was like a divine assist for them.

"You go ahead! Call your boyfriend over,"

Li Caijie said with a smile.

"It was a simple matter, why make it so complicated! Sigh~"

She sighed and dialed Lin Feng's number.

Lin Feng's motorcycle rode over and stopped by the roadside.

Motorcycle!

The four men who got out of the Mercedes and Li Caijie stared in bewilderment.

They didn't expect Chen Yingqiu's connections to be so strong!

The price of that motorcycle alone could buy ten Mercedes cars.

After getting out, Lin Feng listened as Chen Yingqiu recounted what happened.

"Do you have no money?"

Lin Feng frowned and asked Chen Yingqiu.

Chen Yingqiu said, "I have money! I've saved a lot these two months."

Lin Feng forced a smile and said, "Then you can buy a car yourself! If you lack money, I'll give you some, or you can take a loan and pay in installments!"

Chen Yingqiu nodded, "Alright! I'll buy it myself, so people won't say I'm a freeloader."

"Pfft~"

Lin Feng couldn't help but laugh.

It was the first time he heard a woman call herself a freeloader.

After a few words with Chen Yingqiu, Lin Feng walked to the back of the Mercedes and looked.

He hit a dent, scraped off some paint, and dared to demand a hundred thousand yuan.

Lin Feng, expressionless, scanned the four men, "You really want my girlfriend to pay a hundred thousand?"

One of the four chuckled, "Boss, you also drive a luxury car, you know this car is worth over a million, even a touch‑up costs several thousand. Someone as generous as you wouldn't mind a hundred or eighty thousand, right?"

"Fine!"

Lin Feng nodded.

Then he got into the car.

He reversed the Knight for a short distance.

Then he floored the accelerator, and "Bang!" the car crashed into the Mercedes.

The Mercedes' rear was deformed by the impact.

Lin Feng reversed the car back to its original position, laughing, "Now that's settled! I'll give you a brand‑new car as compensation!"

The four exchanged glances.

Then one of them took out his phone and called the car owner.

This side, Lin Feng sized up Li Caijie, smiling, "Now it's not your problem; the front is broken, go fix it yourself, I'll cover the cost."

Li Caijie rolled his eyes, smiling, "Boss, why don't you also crash my car? I'd like to get a new one."

"Are you sure?"

Lin Feng asked.

Li Caijie chuckled.

Lin Feng picked up his phone and called Guo Yanru.

"Hello, over at Azure Peak Industry there's a guy named Li Caijie, have your subordinate investigate him, and let him go."

"Alright!"

Guo Yanru agreed without hesitation.

Lin Feng knew Li Caijie worked for Azure Peak Industry because Li Caijie left the house still wearing Azure Peak Industry's work uniform.

It was the supervisor‑level uniform.

Coming out after work still in the work uniform clearly showed off.

Hearing Lin Feng's words on the phone, Li Caijie was stunned.

"What's this guy's background?"

Though a bit skeptical, he drove away worriedly.

He waited another ten minutes.

A woman drove up in a red sports car and parked by the roadside.

She was a woman Lin Feng knew.

"Hi! Mr. Lin, long time no see!"

The fashionably dressed woman got out of the car and greeted Lin Feng.

"Miss An, long time no see!"

Lin Feng said with a smile.

Miss An's name was An Qi.

Last time Shen Yu drove trying to kill Qi Yao, but accidentally killed another girl.

When Lin Feng was probing Shen Yu's background, he had approached An Qi.

Seeing An Qi so familiar with Lin Feng, the four young men who came from the Mercedes knew trouble was coming.

An Qi glanced at the deformed Mercedes, smiling, "This car has long been unwanted; just take it to be scrapped. Mr. Lin, do you have time to have tea together?"

Lin Feng nodded, "I'm free anytime, but not tonight."

"Call me when you're free, bye!"

An Qi waved at Lin Feng, drove away.

From start to finish, An Qi never gave the four men another look.

Those four weren't her "Little White" boyfriend, but staff of a sister 4S store.

"Let's go!"

Lin Feng said lightly.

Chen Yingqiu glanced at the dejected four men, and thought of Li Caijie being about to be fired, shook her head, "I've already warned you, you make simple things overly complicated, right?"

"Tell them a hammer, I'll take you to eat something delicious!"

Lin Feng took Chen Yingqiu's hand.

"What are we eating?"

"Do you like grilled skewers?"

"That works, add more chili!"

"This is fine, add more chili!"
