CHAPTER 240: 238, DAMN IT! LUOFENG’S STRENGTH?

"Spinach, what exactly happened? Spell it out for me; I’m just as confused as you are!" Lin Xiaoyun frowned and asked.

"Can I talk about this?" Li Bo Kai glanced at Luofeng.

"Of course you can!" Luofeng gestured for him to proceed. Why wouldn’t it be okay? It’s not like I know anything, right?

"One of the cars is my Ferrari 812, which you guys probably expected," Li Bo Kai said. "But the problem is, the owner of the second car is Wu Yufan. The very Wu Yufan who had a huge conflict with us at the bar yesterday! The traffic officer has confirmed the owner’s information! And through traffic surveillance footage, they’ve determined the driver was indeed Wu Yufan! It’s now confirmed: Wu Yufan didn’t survive the car accident!"

After Li Bo Kai finished speaking, he looked at Luofeng again. "Brother Feng, are you still claiming you know no martial arts?"

Luofeng understood. This was probably the Zhongyi Tang Company’s doing.

Although he already had an answer in mind, Luofeng kept his composure and said, "Then heaven really did show mercy..."

Seeing this, Chen Dali, Li Bo Kai, and Lin Xiaoyun all looked at Luofeng strangely.

Heaven showed mercy? Are you really sure it was heaven showing mercy? Heh, this world has many situations that need heaven’s intervention; why would it show mercy for this particular incident? Are you trying to kid us?

"I’m seriously impressed, Brother Feng, awesome!" Lin Xiaoyun exclaimed.

Chen Dali helplessly shook his head and gave a thumbs-up.

Li Bo Kai went straight to the point. "Just now at the Cloud View International Apartments, Brother Feng, your performance was impeccable. Thinking back on it now, I find it terrifying!"

"Come on, I mean it, I don’t know anything!" Luofeng responded.

"Yes, yes, we’re not saying you knew. If you say you didn’t know, then you certainly didn’t. Oh right, we actually had some good news on our end!" Li Bo Kai paused there.

"What’s going on?" Luofeng asked.

Chen Dali said, "We had uncovered some of Wu Yufan’s family’s shady dealings and were in the process of applying pressure. We didn’t expect an accident like this to happen. If it hadn’t, Wu Yufan’s family would have been in for some serious trouble!"

Lin Xiaoyun chuckled. "The original situation was that even if we went after the Wu Family, we might not have been able to eradicate them completely. After all, Wu Yufan himself was a big problem; a bit dumb, but with no personal dark history, we wouldn’t have been able to take him down."

"Now that the biggest trouble is gone, we don’t have to lift a finger ourselves. With just a slight push, all those with grudges against the Wu Family will swarm them!" Li Bo Kai said.

"That’s terrifying," Luofeng exclaimed.

"Flies don’t target uncracked eggs! If the Wu Family hadn’t made any mistakes themselves, it would actually be quite difficult to take them down. So in the end, it’s still because they weren’t clean!" Lin Xiaoyun remarked.

"So you’re the ruthless ones!" Luofeng said, unamused.

"COUGH, COUGH, COUGH!" Duanmu Yunji tugged at Luofeng’s arm, giving him a reminder.

Soon, two officers approached.

The taller of the two officers said, "Hello, students. My name is Li Zheng, and I’m in charge of this traffic accident. May I ask you a few questions?"

"Of course you can!" Luofeng nodded, and the others did the same.

Li Zheng got straight to the point. "First question: according to our investigation, Wu Yufan was the other party involved in this car accident. Did you have a conflict with him at the bar yesterday?"

"It wasn’t just last night," Luofeng volunteered. "To be precise, the day before yesterday at the airport, he hit on my girlfriend, and that’s when our unpleasant encounter began! If you check the airport’s surveillance footage, you should be able to see what happened."

He was very confident in the security provided by the System. Their mission was to guarantee his absolute safety. The Danger Prediction Card had warned him that Wu Yufan was coming to cause trouble. So, that day, if he hadn’t had the Foresight Card, he would have been the one beaten to death or crippled. Of course, the other party probably hadn’t directly intended for him to die. But the people they sent were reckless and didn’t know restraint; who could say what might have happened?

Facing Luofeng’s frankness, Li Zheng’s suspicion only deepened. After all, the entire car accident seemed problematic from start to finish, and the two parties involved had a history of multiple conflicts. The Ferrari 812 was at the center of their conflict, and now, the conflict had seemingly ended with the Ferrari 812 as well.

A coincidence? If this is a coincidence, I’ll eat that car frame, Li Zheng thought. This made him very skeptical of Luofeng.

"I heard that you also extorted 200,000 from Wu Yufan at the bar?"

Luofeng immediately shook his head. "Officer Li, I hope you’ll investigate thoroughly. I decline to answer this question."

Li Bo Kai’s temper flared. "Officer Li, you can’t just make baseless statements like that! You have to be responsible for what you say, understand?"

"I understand, Mr. Li. We are just inquiring about the situation," Li Zheng replied.

Chen Dali said calmly, "We will cooperate with the questioning, but we also expect to be treated fairly. If you can’t do that, you’ll need to speak with our lawyer!"

"My apologies. I will be more careful," Li Zheng said politely. "May I ask, after Mr. Luo left the bar yesterday, where did he go—"

Luofeng cut him off directly. "Sorry, Officer Li, but I don’t want to answer questions when you clearly already know the answers. I highly doubt you haven’t investigated my whereabouts yesterday, correct?"

Li Zheng fell silent; he had indeed been asking what he already knew. He also secretly complained to himself. This case was truly difficult to handle. Indeed, Luofeng was the difficult one. Luofeng had a solid alibi, and the car thief was a habitual offender with a long string of prior convictions. From any angle, it seemed impossible to connect Luofeng to this. If Luofeng truly was the mastermind, then the resources he commanded must be terrifyingly vast, Li Zheng mused.

"By the way, Spinach, did you buy insurance?" Luofeng asked.

"Of course, I did!" Li Bo Kai responded.

"Then why don’t you ask Officer Li to issue an official accident report? You should also contact the insurance company. I think this might be a bit troublesome since the car was stolen and then got into an accident. It’s hard to say if the insurance company will try to shirk responsibility," Luofeng lamented.

"That’s just how car insurance companies are. When something actually happens, only then do you discover all their rules about what they won’t cover. It’s simply disgusting."
