After Huang Leqiao slapped him, the young man and woman in the Lamborghini didn't rush to act. Instead, they made phone calls, sneering at Huang Leqiao and Chen Yating and the other girls, clearly intending to deal with them on the spot.
Soon, Huang Leqiao's boyfriend arrived in a Porsche Macan.
Huang Leqiao's boyfriend surveyed the scene and approached Huang Leqiao with a bouquet of flowers. "Leqiao, I was going to give this to you when you arrived. Happy birthday!"
With the flowers and birthday wish, Huang Leqiao could no longer hold back her emotions and burst into tears in her boyfriend's arms. Despite her usual mature demeanor, she was still just a nineteen-year-old girl.
Huang Leqiao's boyfriend held her, gently stroking her back and comforting her. "I'm here now, it's okay."
"It's okay?" the Lamborghini driver sneered. "Let me tell you, this is a big deal!"
Huang Leqiao's boyfriend released Huang Leqiao, letting Chen Yating and the others comfort her. He stood in front of the girls, looking handsome, and said calmly, "What's such a big deal? The traffic police are here. It's just a rear-end collision. We'll pay for it."
At this point, the insurance company representative spoke up. "Ms. Chen Yating's car is only insured for one million. Repairing this Lamborghini will likely cost two to three million."
Huang Leqiao's boyfriend's expression remained unchanged. He said calmly, "If the insurance isn't enough, I'll cover the rest. Is there anything else? If not, I need to take my girlfriend to her birthday party."
The man in the Lamborghini grinned unpleasantly. "You want to leave? It's not that easy. Your woman slapped my woman. How are you going to settle this?"
Huang Leqiao's boyfriend replied calmly, "You can take your woman to the hospital for an examination. If you can prove any injuries, I'll pay for all the medical expenses. Or, you can name a price, and I'll pay you."
The Lamborghini man chuckled. "Then give me two million."
"Alright!" Huang Leqiao's boyfriend immediately agreed and then said to the two traffic police officers, "Officers, my girlfriend slapped his girlfriend. He's demanding two million in compensation. I agree to this compensation plan. There's no written agreement, but there are witnesses. If there are any issues later, please confirm this for me."
Afterward, Huang Leqiao's boyfriend looked at the man in the Lamborghini and said calmly, "Leave your bank account number, and I'll transfer the money immediately. This matter will be settled."
Huang Leqiao's boyfriend, being a self-made business elite, was far more cunning in these matters than a rich second-generation heir driving a Lamborghini.
Of course, even the Lamborghini man, as foolish as he was, knew he had been outmaneuvered. His face turned red and then pale. "You've got a way with words. I admit it."
Then, Huang Leqiao's boyfriend continued, "Since the matter of your girlfriend being slapped is settled, let's talk about your girlfriend slapping my woman."
"Today is my woman's birthday, a very significant day. Now your girlfriend slapped my girlfriend on her birthday. What do you think about that?"
The Lamborghini man sneered, "Nothing. She slapped him, so what?"
Huang Leqiao's boyfriend remained silent. He walked up and slapped the Lamborghini man. "I've just slapped you. Nothing to be done about it. She slapped him, so what."
"Is that account settled?"
Seeing Huang Leqiao's boyfriend slap someone, Chen Yating, Huang Leqiao, and the other girls suddenly saw Huang Leqiao's boyfriend, Li Hongsheng, as a tall, mighty, and masculine figure.
"How dare you hit me!"
The Lamborghini man immediately got into a scuffle with Huang Leqiao's boyfriend, Li Hongsheng. The two traffic police officers quickly intervened, separating them.
As the scene descended into chaos, a motorcade led by a Mercedes-Benz S400 and centered around a Bentley Mulsanne arrived. Over a dozen bodyguards in sunglasses and suits emerged, led by a stern-looking middle-aged man in his thirties with a slicked-back hairstyle.
Upon seeing the middle-aged man with the slicked-back hair, the Lamborghini man immediately called out, "Brother."
When Huang Leqiao's boyfriend, Li Hongsheng, saw the middle-aged man with the slicked-back hair, his heart sank.
This middle-aged man, Zhao Juan, had been a dominant figure in Fengcheng for decades, influential in both legitimate and illegitimate circles, and a renowned figure among their generation.
As Zhao Juan arrived, the traffic police officers' expressions subtly changed. The man and woman in the Lamborghini immediately adopted docile demeanors, no longer acting arrogant and overbearing.
Zhao Juan walked up to the two traffic police officers and offered them cigarettes. "Sorry to have caused you trouble, officers. We will resolve the rest of the matter ourselves."
With the situation having escalated to this point and the parties involved stating they would handle it themselves, the traffic police had no further role. They got into their cars and left.
Then, Zhao Juan turned to Li Hongsheng and politely said, "I apologize. My brother caused trouble, so I, as his elder brother, apologize to you on his behalf."
Li Hongsheng immediately replied, "We also had our faults."
Zhao Juan was renowned in their industry, worth billions, and had immense influence in Fengcheng. The two parties were not on the same level; Li Hongsheng could not afford to offend him. If he truly angered Zhao Juan, his tens of millions in assets would be crushed into dust.
"Since that is the case..." Zhao Juan said calmly, "Whichever hand slapped my brother, leave that hand behind. I am a fair person."
Li Hongsheng was stunned on the spot, his face turning pale. Chen Yating and the other girls' faces also turned completely pale, having never witnessed such a situation.
Was this considered fair?
But they were no match for him. Li Hongsheng stood there, frozen. Agreeing was not an option, and refusing would lead to an even worse outcome. He didn't know what to do.
Chen Yating felt that this was all her fault. If she had driven more carefully, none of this would have happened. She quickly called Chen Jiuyang. In the end, she could only seek help from her own brother.
After calling Chen Jiuyang, the first to arrive at the scene was Chen Jiuyang's friend, Hu Qijie. Chen Jiuyang felt it was just a rear-end collision and that Hu Qijie lived not too far away.
Hu Qijie arrived in a Mercedes-Benz S400. Upon seeing Hu Qijie, Zhao Juan frowned and thought to himself, "Why is he here?"
Zhao Juan was influential in both legitimate and illegitimate circles. Hu Qijie's family's "Black Jade Continuous Elixir" had been selling extremely well recently, and people all over Fengcheng had seen Hu Qijie.
Hu Qijie didn't even look at Zhao Juan. He walked up to Chen Yating and said, "Yating, your brother is on his way. He said you ran into some trouble and asked me to come and check."
"Tell me the whole story."
Chen Yating said, "Today is my roommate's birthday..."
After hearing the sequence of events, Hu Qijie asked, "How do you want to handle this?"
To be honest, Hu Qijie saw Zhao Juan and knew he was not someone to be trifled with. However, before Chen Jiuyang arrived, he had to face the situation head-on.
