Chapter 15: Chapter 15 You Really Followed Me
While Chen Feng was stretching his head and talking to the driver, he nearly got thrown forward and couldn’t help but curse.
"How can you drive like that?"
The driver got out of the car and immediately started yelling angrily at the driver who had just alighted.
Chen Feng saw what had happened. Everyone was driving fine, and suddenly the car in front braked sharply.
Probably because he was talking to Chen Feng, the taxi driver got slightly distracted and didn’t brake in time.
The driver in front was a woman, in her thirties, with a good demeanor.
She ignored the taxi driver’s tone, first went to check the damage to her car, then said, "Do you want to settle this privately or call the police? If we settle this privately, we each pay for our repairs; if not, we wait for the traffic police."
The taxi driver said, "Private settlement is fine, pay me a thousand yuan, I need to replace the whole bumper."
The woman grew angry when she heard this, "Then you should also pay for my repairs, not expensive, just five thousand yuan."
The taxi driver raised his voice even more, "Are you being reasonable? You braked suddenly, otherwise how would I rear-end you?"
The woman with a stern face said, "You’re the one being unreasonable. What kind of car do you have, and what kind do I have? Each paying for our own repairs is already in your favor, and you still want to swindle money from me."
Her car was an Audi, worth several hundred thousand, and it looked quite new, incomparable to the taxi.
"So you think you’re right just because you have a good car? Besides, you braked suddenly during normal driving, it’s definitely your fault," argued the taxi driver with his neck stiffened.
Chen Feng found the whole thing somewhat ludicrous. The rear-ending was definitely the rear car’s fault since it didn’t keep a safe distance. The traffic laws also mostly stipulated the same.
It was obvious the taxi driver thought this female driver was easy to bully and was trying to extort money, otherwise, he would have called the police already.
However, the driver had just been distracted because of his passenger, so Chen Feng didn’t feel it was his place to say much.
At this point, a woman wearing sunglasses got out of the Audi and impatiently said, "Sister E, why bother talking with this kind of person? Just call the police. Do they think female drivers don’t understand traffic laws?"
Hearing this, the female driver took out her phone intending to call the police, but was stopped by the taxi driver, who shouted angrily, "Don’t you dare call the police."
After speaking, the taxi driver even pushed the woman who had just got out of the car, shoving her off-balance and causing her to lean back against the car.
The taxi driver, not yet appeased, jabbed a finger and shouted, "Watch your mouth, what do you mean by ’this kind of person’? Are you looking down on us ordinary folks?"
Saying this, he moved forward, towering over her, as if he was about to hit her.
Chen Feng originally didn’t want to get involved, but seeing this, he quickly opened the car door, stepped forward, and grabbed the taxi driver, trying to appease him, "Alright, alright. Don’t be rash. It was just a regular traffic accident, but if you continue like this, you’ll be detained."
"I didn’t hit her, it’s her that insulted me first. You heard her too," the taxi driver finally calmed down a bit. He stepped back two paces, no longer so aggressive.
"Alright, miss, no need to call the police anymore. I think you’re also in a hurry to be on your way, as are we. You probably aren’t short of money either. Let’s all take a step back and settle this privately. Just give this driver a few hundred yuan for the repair, and let’s consider the matter resolved."
Chen Feng was playing peacemaker, slightly siding with the taxi driver. Of course, this was mainly in consideration of the safety of the two women.
This taxi driver looked like he had a bad temper, and if he truly decided to hit someone, Chen Feng wouldn’t be able to stop him.
Both women, though taking a bit of a loss, at least wouldn’t get beaten.
The female driver, Sister E, then nodded, "Alright, I’ll give you five hundred yuan. If that doesn’t work, let’s settle it formally."
"Not enough, at least eight hundred," the taxi driver became tough again.
Chen Feng immediately felt displeased; this taxi driver was really pushing his luck.
Moreover, his behavior caused Chen Feng, the peacemaker, to lose face and feel too lazy to persuade further.
He turned to go back to the car to get his luggage and planned to take another taxi. He didn’t care about the situation here anymore.
As soon as he turned around, he heard the sound of a police siren, then saw a traffic cop riding a motorcycle coming his way.
Sister E quickly raised her hand and called out to the officer, "Officer, I called the police."
Seeing this, the taxi driver panicked and said quickly, "No need to trouble the police. We can settle this privately, each fixing their own."
"No way!" the woman who had just been pushed shouted. "I want to sue you, you just pushed me."
Soon after, a police car also arrived.
The taxi driver was completely lost, things had gotten out of hand.
Chen Feng shook his head quietly, went over, opened the taxi door, picked up his luggage bag, and started walking toward the side of the road.
"Officer, catch him! That man is in cahoots with the taxi driver. I suspect they are professionals at staging accidents to extort money."
As the woman in the sunglasses shouted this, everyone turned to look at Chen Feng, who was carrying his luggage.
The taxi driver was the first to react, showing some loyalty, he quickly clarified for Chen Feng, "What staging an accident? We are all honest people. He is just a passenger I picked up from the airport. He just got off the plane not long ago, we don’t even know each other. How can we be in cahoots?"
Chen Feng also looked at this woman incredulously and said coldly, "Please think before you speak. Weren’t we on the same plane? When we were about to disembark, I accidentally bumped into you."
The woman in sunglasses suddenly looked enlightened, uttering an "oh" twice, and said, "No wonder you look somewhat familiar, so it was you. You intentionally bumped into me on the plane, and now you intentionally had this taxi driver hit me, who are you really? Are you stalking me, getting close to me? What is your plot?"
Chen Feng was completely fed up. He didn’t want to waste any more time with a woman whose brain was obviously malfunctioning.
Carrying his luggage, he took advantage of the light traffic and crossed the street.
The woman in sunglasses, still not giving up, wanted the traffic police to arrest Chen Feng, but the officer ignored her, leaving her stamping her feet in frustration.
To keep as much distance from this woman as possible, he didn’t hail a cab on that side. He walked at least a few hundred meters before flagging down a passing taxi.
This time, he finally arrived smoothly at the five-star hotel he had booked.
It wasn’t a presidential suite, not because Chen Feng was unwilling to spend the money, but because there wasn’t an option to book it online.
However, the luxury suite he did book was very nice—spacious, well-furnished, and most importantly, standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, looking out at the urban night scene really gave a taste of materialism.
One night’s room charge was over seven thousand, equivalent to nearly two months of his previous salary.
In the past, he would never have dreamed that he would be so extravagant and corrupt. But now that he had tens of millions, spending like this really didn’t hurt at all.
Of course, this might also be due to the fact that he was dying soon.
If it weren’t for his terminal illness, even if he had over ten million in savings, he probably wouldn’t be spending like this.
After standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window for a while, he took a shower and changed into clean clothes.
Looking at the time, it was nearly eight o’clock in the evening and his stomach was growling with hunger.
He went to the bathroom to tidy up, then took his room key and left the room. The five-star hotel had a restaurant, and the buffet there had received great reviews online, priced at 588 per person, and many people said it was worth it.
He opened the room door, went out, closed it, and had just walked a few steps towards the elevator when he faced two women.
"It’s you! You really are following me!" exclaimed the woman with a touch of panic in her voice.
Sister E also looked at Chen Feng with a wary expression and stepped forward to shield the woman in sunglasses.
