Chapter 21 - Chapter 21: Solving Problems with Wisdom

If Yang Chen smashed Zhang Hengzhi's GTR, not only would he have to pay a lot, but he might also be sentenced.

After all, the car is too expensive; just a few hits would suffice to break the criminal law standard.

Zhang Hengzhi had someone smash Yang Chen's car, but he didn't touch it himself.

Yang Chen could only sue those who smashed his car; Zhang Hengzhi himself would definitely be fine.

With this setup, Yang Chen will undoubtedly suffer.

So, this matter needs to be well planned, to not suffer a loss while also not letting Zhang Hengzhi off easily.

At this moment, two cars drove over one after the other.

One was a Porsche 911, the other was a Lamborghini Huracan.

It seemed they were friends of Zhang Hengzhi.

When the cars got closer and stopped, Yang Chen recognized the drivers.

The one driving the 911 was Wang Qian Ni, and the one driving the Huracan was Zhang Long.

Yang Chen couldn't help but laugh; what a small world this is.

Seeing Yang Chen's Buick smashed to pieces, Wang Qian Ni immediately stepped forward to question Zhang Hengzhi, "Are you crazy? Why did you smash his car? Didn't I agree to accompany you tonight? Does this make sense?"

Zhang Hengzhi arrogantly replied, "It makes perfect sense! I'm out to destroy what he relies on for a living! What, are you feeling sorry?"

Wang Qian Ni gave Zhang Hengzhi a glare.

Zhang Hengzhi laughed heartily and said, "You're so damn cheap, aren't you? Falling for a guy who drives for a ride-hailing service? Aren't you cheap? Tonight, I'm going to make you call me daddy; I won't let you go without that!"

Wang Qian Ni was infuriated and cursed, "Zhang Hengzhi, don't be too excessive! My family only owes yours money. Do you think I'd look at you otherwise if we could repay it?"

"Oh? Then why are you here? You knew that tonight I planned to take you to bed, yet here you are! If you have guts, don't come! Go borrow money to pay us back! Can't you? Haha…" Zhang Hengzhi said smugly.

If it were possible to borrow 50 million, Wang Qian Ni's dad wouldn't have pushed her towards Zhang Hengzhi.

Zhang Long approached Yang Chen and asked, "Damn! How did you offend him?"

Yang Chen replied with a smile, "It's a long story. What happened to your face? Did your old man smack you?"

Zhang Long's eyes widened in anger, "Fuck! It's because of you! My dad asked me to apologize to you, or else you wouldn't agree to let our family invest in the Peninsula Group. Damn! You've bullied me so, and now I have to apologize? Do you think that's possible?"

Yang Chen wrapped an arm around Zhang Long's shoulder, walked aside, and whispered, "Is your family wealthy?"

Zhang Long immediately puffed out his chest and proudly replied, "Of course, our family has a total asset of a billion; do you think we're rich?"

Yang Chen glanced at Zhang Hengzhi and continued asking, "What's your relationship with Zhang Hengzhi?"

"Nothing special really. Our family's Sky Curtain Investment was part of the third round of financing for his family's real estate company, so I got to know him. We hang out sometimes, but there's nothing special between us," Zhang Long answered truthfully.

Yang Chen nodded and asked again, "Do you want not to apologize to me and yet still have me agree to your Sky Curtain Investment funding the Peninsula Hotel?"

Zhang Long looked seriously at Yang Chen and said, "What's your scheme? I'm telling you, don't think that by holding 28% of the Peninsula's shares you can do whatever you want."

"Fuck, do I look like a bully to you? There's actually no deep hatred between us, right?" Yang Chen replied with a laugh.

Zhang Long looked at Zhang Hengzhi, then at Yang Chen, and whispered, "You want my family to lend money to Wang Qian Ni's family for emergency relief, getting her out of Zhang Hengzhi's grip. Right?"

Yang Chen patted Zhang Long on the shoulder and said with a smile, "Smart, Young Master Zhang. Your family has been busy with the Peninsula Group investment for over a year. Your dad hitting you shows this project is crucial to you. Let's make a deal: your family lends money to Wang Qian Ni's family for emergency, I agree to the investment in the Peninsula Hotel. You can call your dad to discuss it, then get back to me."

Zhang Long rolled his eyes and asked, "Why don't you lend her the money? You hold 28% of the Peninsula Hotel's shares, worth over three billion, are you short of 50 million?"

Yang Chen pointed at the smashed Buick and said, "I'm now driving for a ride-hailing service; don't you get it?"

Zhang Long thought to himself, could Yang Chen be a prince of some hidden family, arranged by them for training? And once the training period is over, he could return to inherit the estate?

That's how it always goes in web novels: after three years, he returns home to inherit the family estate and all that.

Zhang Long quickly whispered, "So you're from some family…"

Yang Chen immediately interrupted him.

"Shh…"

Zhang Long confirmed his guess, quickly nodded and replied, "Got it. You wait, I'll call my dad."

Yang Chen smiled and nodded, Zhang Long hurried off to a quiet place to make the call.

Zhang Hengzhi looked puzzled and asked, "What did you just say to him?"

Yang Chen glared at him, saying, "None of your business."

Zhang Hengzhi laughed heartily, "Alright! Go on being cocky! Watch out for falling bricks if you walk at night. Haha…"

Yang Chen smirked, unfazed, and dialed the police.

This scared the minions Zhang Hengzhi brought.

Zhang Hengzhi quickly reassured them, "With me here, what is there to fear? It's not as if we won't pay; we'll just pay after the court judgment."

Wang Qian Ni sneered, "You're so smart, aren't you? If this reaches the court, it's no longer just about compensation, it's a criminal matter. Whoever smashed the car will face charges. Though the car isn't expensive, the damage surely exceeds 5,000 yuan, which constitutes a criminal offense. Following him, you're set for jail time."

Zhang Hengzhi's group panicked.

"Young Master Zhang, we only smashed the car because you told us to, you must protect us."

"Yeah! I have parents to support and kids to raise; if I go to jail, my family's done for."

"Young Master Zhang, if the cops come to arrest us, quickly offer compensation, don't let it go to court."

...

Zhang Hengzhi, enraged, shouted, "Enough! Dammit, can't count on you for anything? A few words and you're scared like this, just a bunch of useless idiots. What can you do besides eat, play, and make merry?"

He's not facing charges, so he's talking tough without the pain of it.

At this moment, Zhang Long finished his call, walked to Yang Chen and said, "My dad said no problem, we can lend money for their emergency relief. But they must agree to commercial bank loan interest rates + 1% annual interest. Details will be discussed at a meeting tomorrow."

Yang Chen nodded, "As long as Wang Qian Ni's family receives the loan, I'll agree to the Sky Curtain investment in the Peninsula."

"Alright, go and tell Wang Qian Ni to let her dad know to come to our company before 9 a.m. tomorrow to discuss the details," Zhang Long said.

Yang Chen smiled and patted Zhang Long's shoulder, then turned towards Wang Qian Ni.

Walking towards her, he took out 800 yuan from his wallet and handed it to her.

Wang Qian Ni looked puzzled and asked, "What's this?"

"Miss Wang, tell your dad to meet with Sky Curtain Investment before 9 a.m. tomorrow about the loan. Sky Curtain's President Zhang has agreed to lend you the money; you two discuss the rest. But I want to book you for 800 bucks for one night. Are you willing?" Yang Chen replied with a smile.

Wang Qian Ni instantly leaped onto Yang Chen, wrapping her legs tightly around his waist, gave him a strong kiss, and said, "I'm willing! You coward finally came around, huh! I thought my long legs weren't enticing enough for you!"
