Chapter 618 Eating melons, only to find it was about yourself

The art exhibition continued.

Lam Tsai Lam wandered around, realizing that nobody was paying him any attention.

Some people had been chatting, but when they saw him join in, they quickly found excuses to leave. The same scene had happened several times already.

Even old friends who he thought he had a good relationship with were now avoiding him, let alone lending him money when he needed it most.

It was all too realistic.

After embarrassing himself for a while, Lam Tsai Lam slunk away and took the elevator to the underground parking garage.

His McLaren supercar had already been taken away as collateral for debt. Now, he could only use an old Lexus as a substitute, and even that car was borrowed from his girlfriend.

Reflecting on everyone's attitude toward him, Lam Tsai Lam smoked a cigarette, frowned, and slapped the steering wheel, growing angrier the more he thought about it.

Staring at the Rolls-Royce across from him, he simply got out of the car, found a stone to prop the door open, jumped onto the hood, and began smashing it, one hit after another...

Upstairs, Su Yehao was still chatting with Toucan Chun and the others.

The topic had nothing to do with business. It was just idle banter about where to find delicious food, who had been up to what lately, and so on.

During this time, strangers frequently approached Su Yehao to try and get close to him.

Among them were the editor-in-chief of a newspaper, a director of the Law Society, senior university administrators, and mostly businessmen.

They didn't necessarily have something specific in mind when they approached him, but simply took the opportunity to say hello and get on his good side in advance.

The point of these people's socializing was to turn their intangible network of relationships into tangible benefits someday.

As for Su Yehao's "money power," after the Qide Digital Port and Semiconductor Industrial Park proposals, no one doubted it anymore.

Having personally experienced the importance of connections, Su Yehao no longer deliberately distanced himself from certain small circles. For example, the Legislative Council member and police assistant who were currently shaking his hand might come in handy at a crucial moment.

Just then, a security guard from the Central Plaza Building suddenly appeared at the entrance of the exhibition hall. He clapped his hands to attract attention and shouted loudly, "Excuse me, who parked their Rolls-Royce in parking space 107? Some lunatic suddenly appeared and smashed the car. We've already called the police and would like the owner to assist us!"

Many people owned a Rolls-Royce, and Zhao Yimeng asked first, "What color is the car?"

"Black, and it looks quite new," the security guard replied.

Su Yehao's attention was drawn over.

He was busy watching the drama, thinking that someone had offended someone, or that a mistress had come to the door, and other such scandalous scenarios.

Suddenly, he heard that it was an armored car, and the license plate number contained the letter "su." In that instant, he almost burst into tears... wasn't that his own car?!

He was watching the drama, only to find himself in the middle of it.

Everyone looked at Su Yehao. His Rolls-Royce Silver Spur armored car was already well-known in Hong Kong. This was also why he always used other cars when going to see Nong Qingying, to avoid attracting attention.

Su Yehao asked speechlessly, "What's the condition of the car? Did they catch the lunatic?"

"We caught him. He was jumping all over your car and even injured one of our colleagues. He didn't run at all."

The building security guard knew that they had been negligent and added with an awkward smile, "Young Master, your car is very sturdy. Only the outer layer of glass was broken. It's indeed an armored car."

"..."

The tables had turned, and everyone present immediately began gossiping about Su Yehao.

The newspaper editor-in-chief was ecstatic and immediately contacted his capable assistant, asking them to send someone to the Central Plaza Building as soon as possible to grab the first-hand news.

The fact that the car was smashed was certainly eye-catching, but many people wanted to know why his car was smashed.

Instantly, some people began to speculate that Su Yehao had offended someone, or was having an affair outside, and had been targeted.

Miss Vera's art exhibition suddenly lost its appeal. After Su Yehao left, countless people followed him downstairs to the underground parking garage. Watching the excitement was indeed human nature. Even Young Master Huang, who had been avoiding him earlier, quietly appeared in the crowd.

As Su Yehao's desk mate back in school, Huang Zewen had been envious and jealous of his achievements. But at this moment, his mood suddenly brightened, and his eyes gleamed.

No one wants others to be better off than themselves. Human nature is always like this.

...

There were many patrols in Central, and the police quickly arrived.

The police assistant he had just met was now coming in handy. He stepped forward to help, asking them to give Su Yehao an explanation as soon as possible.

After walking around the armored car that he had bought for more than ten million Hong Kong dollars, seeing that all the glass was broken and the thickened body was dented, Su Yehao's lungs ached with anger. He came to Lam Tsai Lam and asked, "Did I offend you? You smashed my car because I didn't lend you money?"

Lam Tsai Lam had just been beaten by the security guards. His mouth was swollen, and he had a bump on his head. Hearing this, he laughed in surprise,

"So this car is yours? I'm sorry, the glass is too thick. I used all my strength, but I couldn't break through it. Prince Hao, I'm not targeting you today. It's just that there's no way out for me outside anymore. Officers, please don't let me out. I don't know what else I might do."

Hearing this, many onlookers were instantly disappointed.

Combining Lam Tsai Lam's situation, they had already guessed what this guy wanted to do. He probably wanted to send himself in, to avoid being chased for debt outside, which could be life-threatening.

Su Yehao became even angrier and continued,

"There are so many cars, why did you have to pick mine? Besides, can't you find a snakehead to take a boat to Vietnam and then Thailand, and escape directly? What did my car do to deserve this? The repair has to be sent to England, which is so troublesome."

Several police officers exchanged glances, pretending not to hear this. Otherwise, they would have to educate him for inciting others to run away.

"How can I run away without money? Wash dishes in a restaurant? I'd rather go to jail."

Lam Tsai Lam completely gave up. He sat in the police car, crossed his legs, and asked how long he could stay inside for damaging property.

One of the police officers looked at Su Yehao's car, thinking that the repair costs would be at least seven figures. The car body had several scratches, and all the paint had to be redone.

Moreover, if it was really transported to England, the cost of going back and forth would be considerable and would need to be included in the amount of the loss...

——————————————

After experiencing an unexpected disaster, Su Yehao borrowed a long version of the Mercedes-Benz Pullman from the HI Garden Hotel, and was still sighing after returning home.

The so-called Pullman is also a series of armored cars. The twelve-cylinder power is not worse than the Rolls-Royce Silver Spur. It is currently kept in the hotel for picking up and dropping off big customers who don't care about money.

Jiang Yu had already gone home.

The little girl followed behind him, helping to massage his shoulders, and said with a smile, "Forget it, anyway, you don't lack cars. Sending it to England for repairs will be quick. Just take it as breaking a fortune to avoid disaster today. If that guy was crazy and directly attacked people, wouldn't the consequences be even worse."

Su Yehao said with emotion,

"He's also stupid enough, putting himself in a cage. Wouldn't he even be unable to run away? People who can set up a trap to cheat him out of hundreds of millions must be quite capable. How could they easily give up? As for my car, it doesn't matter. It was purchased through my dad's company. Even if the insurance can't fully cover it, the loss can be used to offset taxes. If it really doesn't work, I'll send my Phantom back from the United States first. It's a waste to leave it in Silicon Valley anyway."

The little girl hit the nail on the head and told him, "If he wasn't stupid, how could he be cheated out of so much money? Go to bed early tonight and wash up. Tomorrow, you have to take Da Hong and Xiao Hong for a checkup."

Da Hong and Xiao Hong are the names of the two red pandas. The breeding permits have been completed, and the certificates have been obtained in the name of scientific research and breeding. The breeding park is also about to be completed, covering an area of about one hundred square meters, with air conditioning in the glass room.

Sure enough, the news that Su Yehao's car was smashed was in the newspaper the next morning, along with a mention of Miss Vera's art exhibition.

Also that day, the American version of Weibo, newsmicroBlog, was successfully launched in Silicon Valley, recruiting the first batch of test users through Google Ads...
