?Chapter 280: Chapter 195 Striving for Understanding_3 Chapter 280: Chapter 195 Striving for Understanding_3 He checked the time and Tang Song stood up, “Okay, I got it, I’ll be right there.”
…
Inside the police station.
Zhou Dongbing’s face was etched with panic and fear.
His gaze covertly sized up the several people opposite him.
He regretted everything to the extreme.
He never imagined that a carefree kick would bring him such big trouble.
Liu Wenning’s face was pale, his fists clenched, he sat rigidly on the stool, silently staring at the ground.
This time, he didn’t see Tang Song.
Instead, a few lawyers and agents had come.
Their aggressive questioning caught both of them off guard and scared them silly.
The Mercedes-Benz S-Class belonged to Yan City Golden Shield Security Company; its car wrap was a custom V-KOOL model, with retail prices starting at 80,000 yuan.
According to the repair shop’s damage assessment, just the customization and application of the rear section was quoted at an eye-watering 11,000 yuan.
Of course, this sum was still acceptable to Liu Wenning, and he could afford it.
The key issue was that the amount exceeded 5,000 yuan, and on top of that, the surveillance footage had clearly recorded them passing by and then turning back to intentionally kick the car.
Liu Wenning lifted his head to look at the two well-dressed lawyers across from him, a flicker of fear passing through his eyes.
He had no doubt that if they refused to admit their guilt and apologize, the lawyers would absolutely initiate a lawsuit.
According to what the police officer said, they could face a sentence of up to three years in prison or detention.
Thinking about apologizing to President Tang in person, he felt his face burn with embarrassment and his heart ache.
But at times like this, pride was the last thing on his mind.
He was just an ordinary young man, incapable of bearing such dreadful consequences.
“So, have you two thought it over?”
Zhao Xingzhi looked at Liu Wenning with a weak voice and said, “I have made up my mind, I admit my mistakes and accept the punishment, and I deeply reflect on my error.”
Liu Wenning’s hands creaked as he struggled to speak, “I’m also willing to admit my fault and apologize in person.”
“That’s good.” Zhao Xingzhi showed no surprise, calmly nodded, stood up, and dialed Tang Song’s phone.
…
“Qiuqiu! Over here, over here!” Moli waved vigorously.
Soon, the humming of a motorcycle approached from the distance.
The white Suzuki GSX250 rolled slowly to a stop at the curb.
Cheng Qiuyu, dressed in grey tight pants and a white T-shirt, casually removed her helmet.
With furrowed brows, she asked, “Moli, what on earth is going on?”
Moli grimaced and said helplessly, “It’s still about last night’s car-kicking incident. Originally, the car owner said a face-to-face apology plus 500 yuan compensation would do, but you know Zhou Dongbing and Liu Wenning—they certainly wouldn’t compromise.
It seemed like the worst-case scenario would be to pay a bit more, but somehow the car owner got some connections, the damage assessment came back over ten thousand yuan, making it a crime, hence the police summons.”
“A car wrap damage costing over ten thousand for the repair?!” Cheng Qiuyu’s mouth fell open slightly, somewhat unable to comprehend.
“I just called Wenning, and his speech was a bit slurred; he mentioned there were quite a few people, including lawyers. Let’s go inside and see for ourselves.”
With that, Moli dragged Qiuyiu toward the main entrance of the police station.
After asking a staff member, they smoothly made their way to the interrogation room.
Cheng Qiuyu peered inside, her expression one of disbelief.
The atmosphere in the office wasn’t as tense as she had expected.
Liu Wenning and Zhou Dongbing were sitting there, with their necks retracted and very quietly.
Across from them was a row of four people, men and women alike, all dressed in standard formal attire with serene expressions and a calm, confident demeanor, exuding an elite quality.
She had met such figures before, like the top leaders in their company, important clients, university professors.
Compared to them, Liu Wenning and Zhou Dongbing appeared like children who had done something wrong, unable to raise their heads.
Cheng Qiuyu felt a stir in her heart and realized that they had truly angered some important figures.
“Wenning, Dongbing, are you guys okay?” Moli quickly approached by taking a few brisk steps and stood beside the two men, “What’s the situation now?”
Liu Wenning looked up at her and then glanced at Cheng Qiuyu, who was following closely behind.
Grinding his teeth, he said, “Wait for the car owner to come over, compensate, and apologize.”
He truly regretted it now. He should never have used the alcohol as an excuse to kick those few times. It did feel good at the moment, but he had to apologize to Tang Song in such a humiliating way afterward.
“Alright, you guys should be more cautious in the future and not act so impulsively,” Moli sighed and patted the shoulders of Liu Wenning and Zhou Dongbing in consolation.
“Mainly because I’d been drinking, I lost control at the time. It wasn’t on purpose,” Zhou Dongbing stiffened his neck and explained, glancing again at the group opposite them.
Standing behind, Cheng Qiuyu opened her mouth but didn’t say anything.
She hadn’t known Liu Wenning for very long, just over a month.
At first, it was because he often came to borrow books from her senior, and as he played the guitar well, they talked about music and shared reading experiences.
As they interacted more, they became familiar with each other. Later, she learned he was also a motorcycle enthusiast.
He pulled her into a few riding groups, and they went out a couple of times.
That’s how they gradually became friends.
She did admire the musical talent and artistic aura Liu Wenning possessed; however, as a college student with sound moral principles, she knew right from wrong.
It was their fault for kicking someone else’s car.
Even if the other party parked improperly, damaging their car was still illegal.
Having done it, they could only bear the corresponding consequences.
“Buzz buzz buzz—” The vibration sounded.
Zhao Xingzhi picked up his phone, looked at it, then whispered to the three beside him, “President Tang has arrived!”
Immediately after, all four of them quickly got to their feet.
Liu Wenning instinctively sat up straight and looked towards the entrance, his eyes red.
“What’s happening?” Moli asked in surprise.
Zhou Dongbing, grimacing in pain, explained, “The car is registered under the company’s name. The people we’ve been dealing with are agents and lawyers hired by the car owner. We’ve been waiting for the car owner to arrive to apologize in person.”
Startled, Cheng Qiuyu also turned toward the door.
“Tap tap tap—” The sound of leather shoes hitting the floor tiles echoed.
Then, the office door was gently pushed open.
A young and handsome figure strode in.
His features were striking, with broad shoulders and a narrow waist, and he had a good build.
Dressed in a high-end casual suit, the slightly open collar revealed his well-defined muscles.
He carried an air of nonchalance, and his bright, spirited gaze surveyed the entire office.
“President Tang!” “President Tang!”
“Hello, President Tang! I’m Cheng Mingbo from Golden Shield Security.”
“President Tang, I’m Li Yanqiu from Golden Shield Security.”
Moli blinked and promptly recognized Tang Song as he walked in.
So he was the car owner!
This handsome man whom she had encountered last night at the restaurant was very eye-catching, with an impeccable figure, looks, and demeanor. If Zhou Dongbing and the others had not been there, she definitely would have gone up to strike a conversation.
Cheng Qiuyu’s eyes trembled as she stared blankly at Tang Song who had just walked in.
