"Brother Luo, I was wrong. Just let me go as if I were a fart!" Wei Jinquan said with a face full of panic, repeatedly begging Luo Chao for forgiveness.
However, Luo Chao completely ignored him and instead turned to Xia Xin, who was already stunned, and said, "Beauty, what do you think we should do about this?" He handed the decision-making power over to Xia Xin, as it was ultimately her business to settle.
Bald Biao quickly gave Wei Jinquan a look, and Wei Jinquan, not being foolish, understood that the final solution lay with Xia Xin. He quickly apologized to Xia Xin, "Xia Xin. This matter is all my fault; I shouldn't have harbored ill intentions. Rest assured, I will cover all your mother's medical expenses and immediately transfer her to a top-class ward. How does that sound?"
Wei Jinquan's sudden apology left Xia Xin at a loss for what to do. "This... this..." She didn't know what to do and involuntarily looked toward Luo Chao, seemingly seeking his advice.
Seeing this situation, Wei Jinquan suddenly gritted his teeth, made a resolve, and knelt on the ground, then slapped himself hard twice on his already red and swollen face. The force wasn't any lighter than that of Luo Chao's.
"Xia Xin, I'm a scumbag and deserve to die. But for the sake of me paying for your mother's medical fees, spare me this time!" He saw clearly that instead of seeking favor from the unpredictable Luo Chao, it was better to use a drastic measure to win the soft-hearted Xia Xin over.
The move indeed proved effective, as Xia Xin quickly became sympathetic and rushed to help him up. "Boss Wei, please get up first!" No matter how she tried to pull, Wei Jinquan remained unmoved.
"If you don't forgive me, I won't get up!"
Xia Xin had no choice but to say, "Alright! Alright! I forgive you! Please get up!"
Upon hearing this, Luo Chao rolled his eyes. This little girl was too easy to deceive; with just a few soft words and an act of self-harm, she let off this man who intended to take advantage of her so easily. Luo Chao wondered if he himself could grab her, grope her messily, and then apologize, would she forgive him too.
Xia Xin's words brought a look of joy to Wei Jinquan's face. He immediately tried to stand up.
"Hold on." Luo Chao's words stopped him from moving at all, leaving him half-squatted in a rather comical position.
"Brother Luo, do you have any other commands? If there's anything you're dissatisfied with, just say it. Old Wei will get it done!" Bald Biao chimed in cautiously to smooth things over.
"We'll let what happened between you guys slide, but you insulted me earlier—what should we do about that?" Luo Chao said slowly, flicking the stub of his cigarette several meters away into the trash bin beside the road, showing perfect precision.
Large beads of sweat dripped from Wei Jinquan's face. From the cigarette flick alone, he could tell that Luo Chao wasn't an ordinary person. This made him even more convinced of what Bald Biao had told him. "I don't know... what does Brother Luo want to do?"
Never had he felt such fear as at this moment. How did he end up offending a terrifying person that even the Blood Wolf Gang didn't dare to touch? He had to figure a way to satisfy him, or his life could be at stake.
Luo Chao leaned on an Audi A8 and patted the car's body. "This car is nice!" On the way here, he was pondering whether to buy a car, and now, someone was about to "give" him one.
Sensing this, Wei Jinquan immediately said, "Brother Luo, if you like it, it's yours. I just got this car a few days ago, a high-end model. If you're not satisfied with this one, there's a 4S store nearby. We can take our time to pick one, and if you find one you like, just let me know, and I'll buy it."
Luo Chao only asked for the car, which made Wei Jinquan breathe a sigh of relief. He had already said that if money could solve it, it wasn't a problem. Moreover, he knew that someone like Luo Chao probably wasn't short of money but just happened to need a ride. Still, he must show enough sincerity to make sure Luo Chao sees how genuine his apology is, so he even offered to buy a car.
"No need, this one will do. It looks good enough!" Luo Chao waved his hand, not wanting the hassle of going to a dealer. To him, a car was just for getting around.
"Hand it over."
Wei Jinquan quickly handed the keys to him. Luo Chao took the keys and walked over to the other side of the Audi A8, opened the door, and sat in the driver's seat. He started the engine, tested the steering wheel, gears, and clutch, and a smile appeared on his face, indicating he was somewhat satisfied with the car.
"Ladies, weren't you heading to the hospital? Let's go!" Embracing the principle of seeing good deeds through, Luo Chao decided to drive the two women to the hospital first, and then return to meet up with Du Xin and Yang Wei, taking the opportunity to test drive his new car.
"Ah!" The two women exclaimed in surprise; they didn't expect Luo Chao would drive them to the hospital. They quickly opened the car door and got in.
Releasing the handbrake and stepping on the gas pedal, the car's wheels turned, and the Audi A8 shot forward like an arrow off a string.
Only then did Wei Jinquan dare to stand up straight, speaking with a wry smile, "Brother Biao, can you tell me who this young man is now so that I understand this loss?"
Patting his shoulder, Bald Biao responded in a more depressed tone than Wei Jinquan's own, "You should be satisfied; you're not the only unlucky one. The reason I know him is because I offended him. You're lucky to only spend some money. I, on the other hand, spent over a month in the hospital."
"Ah! So it was him who put you in the hospital!"
"What did you think..."
"Then who exactly is he?"
"That, I'm not entirely sure either. Just know that he's close with Deputy Mayor Yang, and that's all you need to know."
"..."
Not having driven in a while, Luo Chao was somewhat excited, having his blood stirred by that taxi driver earlier. His foot instinctively pressed down on the gas, and he shifted gears as if playing an intricate game, making the Audi A8 gallop through Liuhai City's streets like a runaway wild horse.
His speed must have been over 100 mph, overtaking cars at hazardous angles. Several times, he passed just inches from other cars.
"Can... can you slow down a bit?" Chen Ziqi, who was sitting in the back, couldn't stand it any longer, suppressing a gag as she spoke. She was really scared; it was her first time experiencing such reckless driving, which left her somewhat traumatized.
However, Xia Xin was the complete opposite; her beautiful face was full of excitement, with an adventurous streak showing through. This completely overturned Luo Chao's impression of her; he really couldn't imagine that such a well-behaved-looking girl would enjoy this kind of thrill.
Somewhat awkwardly, he slowed the car down. Indeed, he had been too caught up in his own excitement, neglecting the passengers' feelings.
"Didn't drive for a while, got a bit carried away."
Chen Ziqi cutely rolled her eyes, thinking to herself that it was about time he realized he was overexcited; she was almost frightened to the point of throwing up.
