"See that white Porsche? That's mine. It's part of my savings."

He lowered his voice mysteriously.

"Starting from eight figures."

Lin Xiaoyu's breathing became noticeably rapid. She put down her bag, and her attitude underwent a complete 180-degree turn.

"Mr. Qin is truly a promising young man. Please forgive my poor attitude just now."

She reached out to touch Qin Luo's hand, but he subtly avoided it.

"Miss Lin."

Qin Luo said seriously.

"I'm really not here for a blind date, I'm waiting for a friend."

Lin Xiaoyu's expression froze.

"what?"

"I said, you've mistaken me for someone else."

Qin Luo pointed to the man in the suit in the corner.

"That person might be your blind date."

Lin Xiaoyu turned her head sharply and saw the man in the suit staring at her with a gloomy expression.

Her face flushed bright red instantly, then turned pale.

"You...you're playing me?"

Lin Xiaoyu's voice began to tremble.

Qin Luo shrugged.

"I was just answering your question."

"asshole!"

Lin Xiaoyu suddenly grabbed a coffee cup and smashed it on the ground, shards of porcelain flying everywhere, drawing the attention of everyone in the store.

"So what if you have a few stinking bucks?"

Qin Luo's face turned cold.

I advise you to calm down.

Lin Xiaoyu grabbed her bag, stomped out in her ten-centimeter heels, and glared at the man in the suit as she passed him.

The man shook his head, got up, threw the roses on the table into the trash can, and left the coffee shop.

The waiter quickly came over to clean up the broken pieces, and Qin Luo smiled apologetically.

"Put it in my account."

He glanced at his watch; he had been waiting for almost half an hour, and the "friend surnamed Ai" still hadn't shown up.

Just as he was considering whether or not to call Liu Piaopiao, the coffee shop door was pushed open again.

A short-haired woman in a police uniform strode in. She was tall and had a heroic air about her. After scanning the store, she walked straight toward Qin Luo.

"Qin Luo?"

The policewoman stopped in front of him.

"I am Ai Yiqian, Piaopiao's colleague."

Qin Luo stood up and handed over the file bag.

"We've finally waited for you. Sister Piaopiao said she was in a hurry."

Ai Yiqian took the document and looked him over curiously.

"What just happened? When I came in, I saw a girl running out angrily."

Qin Luo briefly recounted what had happened, and Ai Yiqian couldn't help but laugh out loud after hearing it.

"You're so mean."

"I swear to God, I really didn't mean to play a trick on her."

Qin Luo shrugged.

"She insisted on believing that I was her blind date."

Ai Yiqian shook her head and glanced at her watch.

"I need to get back to the station right away, thank you."

She turned to leave, then turned back and added.

"By the way, Piaopiao told you not to be late tonight. She's already appeased Teacher Su Yue."

Qin Luo made a gesture of surrender.

"Yes, Officer Ai."

No sooner had Ai Yiqian left than the waitress with the ponytail rushed over in a panic.

"Sir! Something terrible has happened! Your car...your car has been vandalized!"

Qin Luo suddenly stood up.

"what?"

"It's the girl who just smashed the cup."

The waiter pointed out the window.

"She took a key and scratched a long line on your car."

Qin Luo rushed to the window and, sure enough, saw Lin Xiaoyu standing next to his Porsche, swiping something on the car door.

In the sunlight, the fresh scratch looked as glaring as a wound.

"Fuck me!"

Qin Luo cursed, grabbed his backpack, and rushed out.

Qin Luo stood in the parking lot, staring at the two shocking scratches on the door of his Koenigsegg One. Each scratch was more than 30 centimeters long and reflected a blinding light in the sunlight.

His fingers gently traced the wound, and his fingertips could clearly feel the rough texture of the metal surface being scraped by a hard object.

"Mr. Qin, I'm so sorry."

Security guard Lao Zhang stood to the side, rubbing his hands together, sweat dripping down his forehead.

"The woman walked too fast; we couldn't stop her."

Qin Luo withdrew his hand and turned to look at the security guard, but his face did not show the expected rage.

He took out his phone, his tone incredibly calm.

Have you checked the surveillance footage?

"It's been adjusted!"

Old Zhang felt as if he had been granted a pardon and quickly pointed to the monitoring room.

"The photos are crystal clear. The woman was wearing a red dress and driving a white BMW. We even noted down the license plate number!"

"Ah."

Qin Luo nodded, his finger swiping rapidly across the phone screen.

"Just follow the procedures, I won't make things difficult for you."

Old Zhang was stunned.

He worked in the parking lot of this upscale shopping mall for five years and had seen too many scenes of luxury cars being scratched and the owners flying into a rage.

Qin Luo is the first person to remain so calm.

"Mr. Qin, this car must be very expensive."

Old Zhang asked cautiously.

Qin Luo's lips curled into a smile that was neither a smile nor a frown.

"It's alright. The original price was 70 million, and now it's around 100 million on the secondhand market."

"One hundred million?!"

Old Zhang's legs went weak, and he almost knelt on the ground.

Qin Luo had already dialed the police and briefly explained the situation to them.

After hanging up, he pulled out his contacts and dialed Situ Rui's number.

"Hey, Ruizi, my car got scratched."

Qin Luo spoke as casually as if he were saying, "I had noodles for lunch."

An exaggerated gasp came from the other end of the phone.

"Holy crap! Your Koenigsegg? Who the hell dared to drive that?!"

"A mentally ill woman."

Qin Luo glanced at the surveillance screen in the security booth, which showed a frozen image of Lin Xiaoyu scratching the car door with her key.

"I'm in the Starlight World parking lot, come over here."

"I'll be there in ten minutes!"

Situ Rui hung up the phone decisively.

Even faster than the police arrived was Situ Rui's flashy purple Lamborghini.

Before the car had even come to a complete stop, Situ Rui jumped out. Standing at 1.85 meters tall with his mixed-race face, he was the center of attention wherever he went.

Today, however, he didn't care about showing off and rushed to Qin Luo's car in three steps at a time.

"Damn it."

Situ Rui bent down to inspect the scratches, his fingers hovering above the paint, afraid to touch them.

"The whole car door needs to be repainted!"

Qin Luo leaned against the front of the car, arms crossed over his chest.

"Original factory paint mixing, at least one month."

"A month?!"

Situ Rui straightened up, his thick eyebrows furrowed.

"So what are you going to drive? How about picking one from my garage?"

"Need not."

Qin Luo shook his head.

"Xiao Luoxi is still livestreaming in her Bugatti, don't disturb her."

Situ Rui revealed a mischievous smile.

"Oh, so concerned about your streamer?"

"Get lost."

Qin Luo kicked him.

"Purely from a business perspective, her monthly revenue has exceeded ten million."

As the two were talking, a police car with its lights flashing drove into the parking lot.

When the two police officers got out of their car and saw the scratched Koenigsegg, they were visibly taken aback.

The older policeman crouched down to examine the scratches, while the younger one was already wiping away sweat. For a luxury car of this caliber, the compensation amount would be staggering. "Mr. Qin, is that right?"

The old policeman stood up.

Could you elaborate on the specifics?

Qin Luo briefly recounted what had happened, including how he came to deliver documents to Liu Piaopiao but ended up encountering a blind date who mistook him for someone else.

Situ Rui listened from the side and laughed, only stopping after being glared at by Qin Luo.

"Is this woman mentally unstable?"

Situ Rui interrupted.

"She thinks a car worth 70 million is a shared bicycle?"

The young policeman added in a low voice.

According to Article 275 of the Criminal Law, anyone who intentionally damages property, where the amount involved is particularly large or there are other particularly serious circumstances, shall be sentenced to imprisonment for not less than three years but not more than seven years.

The old policeman glared at his apprentice, then turned to Qin Luo.

"We will contact the suspect as soon as possible. Your car needs to be assessed by a professional agency, and we may need your cooperation."

"no problem."

Qin Luo nodded.

"I have already contacted the supercar club's 4S store."

After taking the statement, the police copied the surveillance footage and left.

Qin Luo and Situ Rui also got into the car, preparing to head to the 4S store.

Situ Rui insisted on driving his Lamborghini ahead to lead the way, ostensibly to "serve as an ambulance for the wounded."

Meanwhile, in a coffee shop on the other side of the city, Lin Xiaoyu was excitedly telling her best friend Wenwen about her "feat".

"You didn't even see the scumbag's expression at that moment!"

Lin Xiaoyu stirred her coffee, a smug smile on her lips.

"He thinks he's so great just because he drives a beat-up sports car? I'll show him what it means to feel the pinch!"

Wenwen bit the straw, looking somewhat uneasy.

"Is your scratch serious? Repainting it must cost a lot of money."

"Just two marks."

Lin Xiaoyu waved her hand dismissively.

"At most, ten thousand yuan, just to teach him a lesson!"

She took out her phone and showed Wenwen the photos of the vandalized car that she had secretly taken.

In the photo, two jagged scratches are clearly visible on the silver-gray car door.

Wenwen took the phone, zoomed in on it, and suddenly frowned.

"This car...doesn't it look a bit like a Koenigsegg?"

"What kind of style?"

Lin Xiaoyu didn't hear clearly.

"Those supercars that are extremely expensive."

Wenwen hesitated.

My boyfriend seems to have mentioned it.

Just then, Lin Xiaoyu's phone rang.

The words "Municipal Public Security Bureau" appearing on the screen made her heart skip a beat.

Hello?

Lin Xiaoyu answered the phone, her voice trembling involuntarily.

"Is this Ms. Lin Xiaoyu?"

The voice on the other end of the phone was a formulaic male voice.

"Regarding your case of intentionally damaging other people's property in the Starlight World parking lot today, please come to the Municipal Public Security Bureau's Criminal Investigation Division at 9:00 AM tomorrow to cooperate with the investigation."

Lin Xiaoyu's face turned pale instantly.

"W-what? It's just a scratch."

"The victim's vehicle is initially valued at over 50 million yuan, and this case has reached the standard of 'particularly large amount'."

The police officer's voice was cold.

"I suggest you contact a lawyer and prepare for compensation."

After hanging up the phone, Lin Xiaoyu's hand trembled, and the phone fell to the table with a "click".

Wenwen was startled.

"what happened?"

"The police said that car is worth fifty million."

Lin Xiaoyu's voice was choked with sobs.

"Let me prepare compensation."

Wenwen gasped and immediately grabbed Lin Xiaoyu's phone to look at the photo again.

This time she looked at it very carefully, and suddenly pointed to a corner of the photo.

"Here! That's the Koenigsegg logo!"

She quickly dialed her wealthy boyfriend's number and sent him the photos.

Less than a minute later, her boyfriend called back, his voice trembling with excitement.

"Holy crap! This is a Koenigsegg One! There's only one in the whole country! It cost 70 million yuan new, but it's now being sold for 100 million yuan on the used car market! Who among you has messed with the owner of this car?"

Wenwen's hands also began to tremble.

"One...one hundred million?"

"That's not the worst."

Her boyfriend lowered his voice.

"The car owner's name is Qin Luo, the heir of the Qin Group, whose family background is unfathomable. If you mess with him, you'll be lucky to escape with your life!"

After hanging up the phone, Wenwen looked at Lin Xiaoyu, who was slumped in the chair, and her eyes became unfamiliar and distant.

"Xiaoyu."

Wenwen slowly stood up.

"I suddenly remembered I have something to do."

"Wenwen!"

Lin Xiaoyu grabbed her best friend's wrist, her nails almost digging into her flesh.

"Could your boyfriend put in a good word for me? Please!"

Wenwen forcefully pulled her hand back, her face grim.

“My boyfriend’s entire family’s assets combined aren’t enough to cover the cost of this car. I’m sorry, I really can’t help with this.”

After saying that, she grabbed her bag and walked away quickly, taking out her phone and doing something as she went.

Lin Xiaoyu's phone vibrated immediately. It was a notification that Wenwen had blocked her.

Meanwhile, Qin Luo and Situ Rui had already arrived at the supercar club's 4S store.

The technicians gathered around the Koenigsegg, marveling not at the incredible car itself, but at the audacity of someone daring to tamper with it.

"Young Master Qin, this door needs to be re-sprayed."

"Chief Technician Lao Zhou stroked his beard and said."

"The original paint has to be airlifted from Sweden, which will take at least a month."

Situ Rui patted Qin Luo on the shoulder.

"Let's go relax first. I've called Zhou Lin, let's go to the Supreme Entertainment City for a hot spring bath."

Qin Luo nodded and handed the car keys to Lao Zhou.

"Use the best materials, don't skimp on money."

The three drove to the entertainment center.

On the way, Situ Rui called Sha Qiang and learned that the guy was spending time with his new girlfriend, so he decisively gave up on asking him to come out.

The hot spring area at the Supreme Entertainment City is members-only, offering excellent privacy.

When Zhou Lin appeared in a bathrobe, Situ Rui whistled.

"Oh, is Attorney Zhou going for a sexy look today?"

"roll."

Zhou Lin threw the towel in his face and turned to Qin Luo.

"I heard your car got scratched?"

Qin Luo leaned against the edge of the hot spring pool, his expression blurred by the rising steam.

"Yeah, a crazy woman."

Has a case been filed?

Zhou Lin's professional instincts kicked in.

"Do you need me to help you contact a lawyer who specializes in criminal cases with attached civil suits?"

"Need not."

Qin Luo shook his head.

"The police are very efficient."

The three chatted while soaking in the hot spring, their conversation shifting from the luxury car compensation to the minor celebrity that Situ Rui had recently been pursuing, and then to a bizarre divorce case that Zhou Lin had taken on.

Qin Luo's phone suddenly rang; it was an unknown number.

"Hey?"

Qin Luo pressed the answer button.

Lin Xiaoyu's voice, trembling with tears, came from the other end of the phone.

"Mr. Qin? This is Lin Xiaoyu. Can we talk?"

"Mr. Qin, I'm so sorry, I was too impulsive this morning."

On the other end of the phone, Lin Xiaoyu's voice was sickeningly sweet, a stark contrast to her brash and arrogant demeanor that morning.

Qin Luo turned on speakerphone, tossed the phone onto his desk, and sneered.

"Miss Lin's attitude changed a bit too quickly."

Qin Luo tapped his long, slender fingers lightly on the table, his tone clearly sarcastic.

"I reflected on it for a long time after I got back, and it was indeed my fault."

Lin Xiaoyu's voice trembled with a perfectly timed sob. (End of Chapter)
