Chapter 512 It Feels Like the Truth
Ka Xin went back upstairs to help the girl get her bag. Shao Feng looked at the broken car window and asked, "What should we do with this car?"
"Call the police!" Xiao Peng said without thinking.
Shao Feng hesitated for a moment: "You dare to call the police after what we just did?"
"What's there to be afraid of?" Xiao Peng said, "Let's put things in perspective. Besides, the reason I was so arrogant and broke their hands just now was because I had the confidence. I just won a lawsuit in Germany, and now I'm an officially certified depression patient. And when my friend suffered such a catastrophic change, it's understandable that I acted out of control in a fit of rage. At least that's what my lawyer told me."
"Your lawyer?" Shao Feng was stunned.
Xiao Peng laughed and said, "You don't think I could do anything this far just on impulse, do you? I always plan for the worst and prepare for the best before doing anything. Not only did I consult my lawyer, I even consulted with another person, Director Yu Beier of the RDSD. Although he didn't recommend that I go too far, everything I did today was within acceptable limits."
"Too much?" Shao Feng asked, "How much is too much?"
Xiao Peng said calmly, "In fact, I have to thank you for not being wronged too much. Otherwise, there would have been a murder up there today."
Shao Feng took a breath after hearing this.
Xiao Peng suddenly burst into laughter. "Dude, you don't think what I said is true, do you? I'm just kidding! How could a wealthy, law-abiding citizen like me do such a horrible thing?"
Shao Feng blinked, wondering if what Xiao Peng said was true or not. Even though he said he was just teasing him, why did he feel like he was telling the truth?
Xiao Peng did not give him a chance to ask further questions, but directly picked up his phone to call the police to deal with the car being smashed.
This processing process left Shao Feng confused.
The police never came. After listening to Xiao Peng's account of what happened, they gave Xiao Peng a report number and asked him to contact the insurance company with the report number. After contacting the insurance company, no one came. They just asked Xiao Peng to take a few photos of the car and send them to them, and that was the end of the matter.
"Is that all?" Shao Feng asked with wide eyes.
Xiao Peng said, "It's not over yet. This car is rented. I still need to call the car rental company. It's too late now. I can ask Ka Xin to call and let them know tomorrow and everything will be done."
"Neither the police nor the insurance company came?" Shao Feng asked.
Xiao Peng nodded. "What are they doing here? There are so many cases like this. If we had to deal with every one of them, we'd need at least twice as many police officers in Paris!"
Shao Feng was dumbfounded, and finally gave a thumbs-up and said, "Awesome, really awesome! I suddenly feel that life in China is pretty good, isn't it?"
Xiao Peng curled his lips and said, "It's pretty good to begin with. I'm not bragging. Now, every country I want to immigrate to would be vying for me. Of course, they don't want me, they want the money in my pocket. But I've never thought about immigrating. It's not because I'm so patriotic, but because I feel that this place is really not as good as home."
"Then why don't you go back? To make money? Then when will you stop making money?" Shao Feng handed Xiao Peng a cigarette.
Xiao Peng shook his head and said, "You may think I'm showing off, but what I'm doing now is really not for the money. I could spend more money than I have in several lifetimes. I just want to do something to leave a name for myself. You may not know this yet, but when you return to China, go to the National Museum of China and you'll see an exhibition hall named after me. Take a look at the things inside and you'll understand what I'm doing now. Let me put it this way, the money I make is a by-product of what I'm doing now."
Shao Feng whistled. "That's awesome, but I think I can guess what you're doing now. Collaborating with the National Museum means you're definitely dealing with cultural relics. So many of our country's cultural relics have ended up in foreign countries. Are you planning on bringing them back?"
Xiao Peng smiled and said, "You're only half right. Not only do I want to bring back our country's cultural relics, I want to bring back treasures from other countries as well!"
"Dominating!" Shao Feng exclaimed sincerely, "I used to think I was the best among my classmates. Even if you're richer than me, we're still in the same social class. But now I hear that the gap is quite big."
Xiao Peng pushed Shao Feng and said, "Go away! That's really boring!"
Shao Feng said, "Brother, do you know what I was thinking?"
"What are you thinking?" Xiao Peng asked puzzledly.
Shao Feng said, "Liu Baorong and I knew that when you were a streamer, although you kept saying you were rich, we didn't believe it. After all, it's only been so long, even if your wealth came from the sea, it wouldn't have grown that fast. Damn, your money really did come from the sea... Although you said that all the tips would go to the Deep Dive Base, we all suspect that this is a publicity stunt to gain traffic. After all, these days, the internet celebrity economy is all about traffic and money, right? And whether the money actually went to the Deep Dive Center is still a question. I've seen too many people who went abroad and then came back to brag about it. Isn't Tian Hao an example?"
Xiao Peng was confused: "What exactly do you want to say?"
Shao Feng said, "If you want to blame someone, blame Liu Baorong! He said that you're probably just trying to save face, and your life might not be easy, otherwise why haven't you been live streaming for so long? It's probably because you haven't turned your traffic into wealth and can't sustain it. You know his situation, he can barely support a family, so how can I help you? So he came to me to see if we can help you together. I came to France this time originally intending to look for you, but you started live streaming again and went to Germany. We saw that you didn't need help at all, and that people like us might even hold you back... That's why I didn't contact you."
Xiao Peng was inexplicably moved after hearing this, but he punched Shao Feng directly: "Damn, you guys are too distant with me, aren't you? If you have time to help me, why don't you help Liu Baorong!"
Shao Feng said helplessly, "Don't you know what kind of person Liu Baorong is? He's a complete idiot. He has no skills at all but has a kind heart. He's also a stubborn bastard who only cares about face. Doesn't he know how much suffering his wife has endured with him?"
Xiao Peng nodded and laughed again: "But this is what makes him our good friend, isn't it? There aren't many people as nice as him these days. I say, what do you think if I ask him to help me?"
Shao Feng shook his head and said, "Don't even think about it. He'd already said that, but he also said, 'I have hands and feet, why should I rely on you?' Look at these friends, and then think about those rotten relatives at home... Comparing people will only make you die, and comparing goods will only make you throw them away!"
