I Got Together With the Fake Heiress - Chapter 58
Wen Yunqing noticed the elite man’s laughter, but she did not want to let a piece of trash ruin her good mood today, so she ignored him and continued to ask Xiaoni some detailed questions.
“If you choose installment payments, I can give you a maximum discount of fifty thousand yuan, and we will help you handle all the subsequent insurance fees and taxes,” Xiaoni said.
“What about a full payment?” Wen Yimeng asked. “Is there no discount?”
Xiaoni showed an apologetic smile. “The manager said it’s best to recommend that customers proceed with installments. If you really want to pay in full, it will be according to the listed price…”
“Then let’s do installments, perhaps over two years,” Wen Yimeng quickly calculated that, considering the discount and interest rate, the total cost for two years of installments would be about the same as the full payment.
“Okay, are the two of you buying this car?” Xiaoni asked.
Wen Yimeng hesitated slightly, considering what color to buy. Black was dirt-resistant but not attractive enough, while white would probably get dirty easily.
“You don’t have other colors in stock right now, right?” Wen Yimeng asked.
“No, because this car is priced relatively high, the dealership only stocked the more common black and white models,” Xiaoni said.
Wen Yimeng was somewhat hesitant about the color selection, holding the brochure and asking Wen Yunqing for her opinion. “I feel like black and white are both very ordinary. If I choose this wine red, will it be a bit too flashy?”
“What’s so flashy about it? I think it looks great! This isn’t bright red; it’s a darker wine red, so it’s not ostentatious,” Wen Yunqing said. “You buy an SUV, and I’ll buy a sports car in the same color.”
Originally, Wen Yunqing had planned to buy an SUV of the same model, but Wen Yimeng vetoed the idea, finding it ugly. It was fine if watches and clothes matched, but a car of the same model would be too unoriginal.
Perhaps the discussion lasted a little too long, as the elite man, who had been sitting and waiting, began to move. He walked over, acting like he was “a big shot,” and tapped on the table with a seemingly polite gesture, drawing the attention of Wen Yimeng and Wen Yunqing.
Wen Yimeng turned her head to look at the elite man. Her hearing wasn’t as good as Wen Yunqing’s, so she didn’t know what he had said earlier and thought he had come over to rush them.
“Sir, you can go look at the car now if you’d like; we’re mostly done,” Wen Yimeng said politely.
“Mostly done looking?” The elite man chuckled to himself and reached out to smooth his hair. “Are the two of you planning to buy it? If you don’t have enough money, I can lend you some temporarily.”
A question mark slowly formed in Wen Yimeng’s mind. Why did this man think she was short on money? Was she dressed too shabbily?
Thinking this, Wen Yimeng couldn’t help but look down. Her shoes cost over two thousand, and her pants and shirt were basic designs from a major brand. Although they didn’t have big logos, the total was still over ten thousand yuan.
She then looked back at the watch on her left wrist, the same model as Wen Yunqing’s. Even if it wasn’t the newest model, it was worth several hundred thousand yuan, right? Why would this person think she lacked money?
“Some people just aren’t very smart; don’t pay attention to him,” Wen Yunqing said with a look of disdain at the elite man. People like him were usually newly rich and wanted to show off their wealth wherever they went.
“Very good, you have successfully attracted my attention,” the elite man continued to live in his own world. “I’ve seen many young girls like you, but people like you interest me more than those who actively throw themselves at me.”
Wen Yunqing clicked her tongue in annoyance. “Are there any security guards here? Can you please kick this harassing idiot out?”
“Little girl, watch what you say; going too far isn’t fun,” the elite man said, making a move to reach out and pinch Wen Yunqing’s chin.
Wen Yunqing exhaled, murmuring to herself, “Perhaps this is the protagonist’s fate; she runs into a huge idiot everywhere she goes.”
Before the elite man could make contact, Wen Yunqing swiftly lifted her long leg and unceremoniously kicked him to the ground, sending him sliding about 1.5 meters.
“Ah, this…” Xiaoni, who was standing nearby, was startled, then turned to Wen Yunqing. “Are you alright?”
Wen Yunqing calmly retracted her foot. “Don’t worry, I chose where to kick him. If he calls the police, it’ll just be mediation; it won’t even count as a minor injury if he goes to the hospital.”
The most important thing was that while kicking him, she had secretly thrown a Bad Luck Talisman (Dǎoméi Fú) onto the elite man. His life would likely be very exciting for the next week.
The elite man also had some tricks up his sleeve. After being kicked, he lay on the ground pretending to be unable to move, immediately taking out his phone to call the police, claiming he had been assaulted for no reason.
“He called the police,” Wen Yimeng reminded her. “Should we call the police too?”
Since he was reporting being attacked, they could report being harassed. By making mutual claims, the most that would happen would be paying some medical fees.
Wen Yunqing was about to nod and tell Wen Yimeng to also call the police, but she suddenly remembered that she was an official in-system person. She took out her phone and called Lu Zhiming, briefly explaining the situation.
“If the benefits are real, shouldn’t I have some special privileges?” Wen Yunqing asked. She actually quite wanted to use her authority to bully someone just this once.
Lu Zhiming, who received the call, was a little speechless. She hadn’t expected Wen Yunqing to call her over such a trivial matter involving an ordinary person, but she still provided an answer. “Yes, you can. Do you have Shen Ling’s contact number? Just tell her, and she will cover you.”
“Okay, thank you,” Wen Yunqing said, intending to hang up the phone.
“Wait, Zhou Jun’s Gaokao application, did she apply for the Physics Department at Jing University?” Lu Zhiming suddenly asked.
Wen Yunqing raised an eyebrow, sensing a hint of gossip. “Yes, wasn’t your relationship with Zhou Jun quite good? Haven’t you contacted her?”
At the mention of this, Lu Zhiming couldn’t help but sigh. “Things have been busy lately. You’ll understand when you come to Jing City.”
After ending the call with Lu Zhiming, Wen Yunqing found Shen Ling’s number in her contacts and called her directly, explaining the situation.
“Perfect. We just finished a mission nearby. I’ll come over and handle it for you,” Shen Ling was in a good mood, having just caught a group of escaped criminals.
“Then I’ll trouble Team Leader Shen (Shěn Duì),” Wen Yunqing replied.
After hanging up, Wen Yunqing looked at the person still wailing on the ground with some pity, turning her head and lowering her voice to Wen Yimeng. “Team Leader Shen is going to back us up. There will be a good show to watch soon.”
“Which Team Leader Shen?” Wen Yimeng’s eyes lit up.
Wen Yunqing nodded. There was only one Team Leader Shen they knew.
Ten minutes later, the police officer responsible for the area quickly arrived at the scene. Seeing the person rolling on the ground, his brow furrowed slightly. “Who called the police?”
“I did, it was me,” the elite man struggled to sit up. “That person suddenly kicked me. Now, I feel pain even when I breathe. My internal organs might be ruptured.”
The officer looked in the direction the elite man pointed: a slightly nervous young girl wearing an employee uniform, a fragile-looking young girl wearing a knee-length skirt, and the remaining tall young girl wearing a short-sleeved shirt and capris—Wen Yunqing.
After quickly assessing the “combat power” of the three, the officer walked towards Wen Yunqing. “Excuse me, were you the one who initiated the physical contact?”
Wen Yunqing nodded and immediately accused him. “He sexually harassed me. I only kicked him in self-defense when he reached out his hand towards me.”
The officer nodded. To be honest, he was actually inclined to side with the young girl. A grown man rolling around on the ground for more than ten minutes looked like a habitual troublemaker.
“Sir, have you called an ambulance? If your internal organs are truly injured, I suggest you not move around,” another officer said diligently.
“I’m going to sue her! She hit me, and I didn’t even touch her,” the elite man insisted. “There should be surveillance in this store, right? I want to check the surveillance footage!”
Just as the elite man finished speaking, Shen Ling arrived with two police officers. To give Wen Yunqing support, she had deliberately changed into her police uniform before coming.
“Team Leader Shen!” The two local officers instinctively stood up and saluted when they saw Shen Ling. Shen Ling was indeed the Captain of the Criminal Investigation Detachment, but she was also the Deputy Director of the Anshi Public Security Bureau.
Shen Ling nodded and walked directly toward Wen Yunqing. “I heard someone attacked you. Where is that person?”
Seeing Shen Ling’s formidable entrance, Wen Yunqing and Wen Yimeng exchanged a glance and silently applauded her in their hearts.
As expected of Team Leader Shen—amazing! (Niúwā!)
“Team Leader Shen, it’s the person lying on the ground. Not only did he intentionally assault me, but now he’s also lying there pretending to be injured. I suspect he wants to blackmail and extort me!” Wen Yunqing spoke with self-righteous indignation, her expression extremely earnest.
The elite man was stunned. He just wanted to flirt with a young girl. How did she suddenly become involved with the Captain of the Criminal Investigation Detachment, and how did he become a case of blackmail and extortion without even saying anything?
“Also, I just checked. This person has a dirty background and has taken illegal money. You can take him away for a thorough investigation,” Wen Yunqing said in a low voice that only she and Shen Ling could hear.
Shen Ling nodded and walked over to the elite man. “I have already been informed of the situation. You are now suspected of attacking, threatening, and extorting a public servant. Please cooperate with our work.”
“Of course, if you feel you are injured, I can accompany you to the hospital for treatment first,” Shen Ling added. “I hope you will cooperate.”
The elite man was dumbfounded. “No, she hit me! You can look at the surveillance footage; she hit me!”
“Based on the information I have, it appears you tried to initiate a provocation and carried out an aggressive action. Our comrade anticipated it and took defensive action.”
“Of course, if you are injured, then our comrade may have used excessive self-defense, and we will impose appropriate disciplinary action internally,” Shen Ling said this very fairly, without sounding biased at all.
The elite man fell silent after hearing the words “our comrade.” He finally understood that he had run into a wall today.
Seeing the elite man show cooperation, Shen Ling said nothing more, simply following the procedure and taking the man away.
After the police left, Xiaoni finally breathed a sigh of relief. “Are you a civil servant? Can civil servants drive luxury cars?”
“I’m more like an unlisted personnel,” Wen Yunqing said, then added, “I assisted the police in solving a case, so it’s a special exception.”
Xiaoni nodded, her eyes filling with admiration for Wen Yunqing. This customer was rich, beautiful, and if she could help the police solve cases, her intelligence must be very high. If this customer were a man, she would pursue him.
Wen Yimeng noticed Xiaoni’s admiring gaze toward Wen Yunqing and silently held her hand, changing the subject. “Then I’ll follow your suggestion and buy the wine red model.”
“Sounds good,” Wen Yunqing hadn’t noticed anything amiss. “Xiaoni, we want the wine red model of this car. How long will it take to arrive?”
“Please wait while I check!” Xiaoni had only been momentarily starstruck. After all, everyone appreciates beauty, but the most important thing was making money! If this deal went through, she would get a generous commission!
“If we place the order now, it can arrive as early as the day after tomorrow. We will handle all the insurance and paperwork. You can come pick up the car any time after twelve noon the day after tomorrow.”
Wen Yunqing nodded. After finalizing the purchase of that car, she took Wen Yimeng around and settled on a red sports car with the highest safety rating.
Xiaoni knew the two were wealthy but still gave them the maximum discount she was authorized to offer, stating that the cars would be thoroughly inspected and maintained before delivery.
Thus, having spent over twelve million yuan, Wen Yunqing and Wen Yimeng each had a new car.
In the first few days after picking up the cars, Wen Yimeng was quite happy. She had Wen Yunqing sit in the passenger seat while she drove them around Anshi.
Unfortunately, this excitement only lasted for a week. Wen Yimeng eventually parked the car in the underground garage and continued to study talismans with Wen Yunqing.
In the blink of an eye, the entire summer vacation had passed. Aside from attending one university acceptance banquet, Wen Yimeng did not socialize much, dedicating most of her time to advanced studies.
Wen Yimeng’s efforts paid off. She could already skillfully draw Flash Talismans (Shǎngguāng Fú) and Small Fireball Talismans (Xiǎohuǒqiú Fú), and she was currently learning the slightly more difficult Defense Talismans.
“Yimeng, are your things packed?” Wen Yunqing walked over, pulling a suitcase. “Zhou Jun said she has already set off and will meet us at the airport soon.”
“Coming!” Wen Yimeng carefully packed away the talismans she had drawn and closed her suitcase.
Jing University, here I come!
