Chapter 62: Smashing the Luxury Car in Fury
Of course, Li Shihao had no intention of running anyone over. However, when he saw Qin Xuan standing there in front of his car, as steady as a mountain, it made him unbearably irritated. If he stopped his car in front of Qin Xuan today, wouldn’t he lose all face? So, he could only gamble.
He bet that, in the end, Qin Xuan wouldn’t be able to withstand the pressure and would dodge to the side. Otherwise, it would be a calamity for them both! The last time, during the incident with the Sun Country brat, was the only time in his life he had ever suffered a loss at the hands of another man, and it made him despise Qin Xuan to the core.
Though he knew that running someone over would spell disaster for himself as well, he believed Qin Xuan was a smart man—surely he wouldn’t risk his own life just for the sake of pride. So, without hesitation, he floored the accelerator and aimed straight for Qin Xuan.
What Li Shihao didn’t know was that Qin Xuan had no intention of dodging at all.
There wasn’t even time to speak to Liu Qianqian—already, the Lexus was less than ten meters from Qin Xuan! Only then did Qin Xuan channel all his inner energy into his foot and, with all his might, kicked forward.
Bang!
A deafening sound exploded through the air fractions of a second later. Though the school gates were crowded, not a single person uttered a sound at that moment. Only a few reporters, unwilling to miss any detail, kept their cameras rolling, the sound of their equipment unusually clear.
He stopped it!
All eyes were fixed on Qin Xuan, who calmly extended his left foot and stomped heavily on the hood of the Lexus. The once-imposing luxury car now bore a deep dent where his foot had struck!
Everyone present was frozen, unsure whether to trust their own eyes.
“I told you, the boss would be fine. Xiao Yu, you just wouldn’t believe it,” Gao Tie said smugly.
Zhou Xiaoyu stared, dumbfounded. “No way. You two—did you really mean it when you said last night that the boss got shot twice by a sniper and walked away unharmed?”
“Of course! Why would we lie to you?” Xiao Gang replied with a look of disdain.
“It’s a Sun Country car—smash it!” Qin Xuan’s voice rang out across the crowd.
Zhou Xiaoyu snapped to attention. “Brothers, let’s smash this car! Damn it, this is too arrogant; if we don’t, we’re letting down our countrymen!”
More than ten male students from Class One of the Business School surged forward to the now-stalled Lexus and, without hesitation, began kicking it with all their strength.
Soon, other passionate onlookers snapped out of their shock and joined in. Li Shihao had really crossed the line—did he think driving a luxury car, especially one from the Sun Country, gave him the right to try to run someone down on campus in broad daylight?
If not for the tense standoff just moments ago, they would have already wanted to teach Li Shihao a lesson. Now, with someone leading the way, they rushed in, driven by righteous fury. Some even grabbed wrenches and iron rods from the security booth—their only goal: to smash the car!
Thus began the grand spectacle of the luxury car’s destruction.
Inside the car, Li Shihao was stunned, never having imagined things would escalate so quickly…
As the instigator, Qin Xuan quietly slipped away after successfully stirring up the crowd. Zhou Xiaoyu, sharp-eyed, quickly gathered the group to sneak off and caught up with Qin Xuan. “Boss, why didn’t you stay a bit longer? I was really enjoying smashing that thing.”
“Keep your achievements hidden,” Qin Xuan replied with a sly chuckle.
“Haha, that’s just like you, boss—always thinking ahead. But you’re right; with your strength, you could smash whatever car you want, whenever you please. For us, though, this might be the only chance in our lives to wreck a car of this caliber,” Xiao Gang said wistfully.
A car worth over a million—indeed, not something the average person would ever get to lay a hand on.
“Hey, where’s Miss Liu?” Gao Tie suddenly realized something was amiss and looked around. Other than the crowd at the school gates, there was no one else in sight.
“She’s probably still enjoying herself smashing that car. We don’t need to worry about her; she’s in Class Two of the Chinese Department. She’ll head straight to her class later,” Qin Xuan explained.
“The Chinese Department? I thought she’d be in our Business School,” Zhou Xiaoyu complained, crestfallen.
“Don’t be discouraged, Xiao Yu. Even if she’s in the Chinese Department, there’s still a chance, right?” Gao Tie tried to encourage him.
“Heh, no need to comfort me,” Zhou Xiaoyu chuckled, shooting a sly glance at Qin Xuan. “Miss Liu belongs to the boss; I wouldn’t dare compete.”
Qin Xuan pretended not to hear.
Soon, the group arrived at the sports field, where preparations for the freshmen’s military training were in full swing. At Jinling University, military training wasn’t organized by class, but by separating the boys and girls.
As a result, the formation Qin Xuan was assigned to included male students from several business classes. To his surprise, Dongfang Wenhao was in the same group.
Naturally, Dongfang Wenhao wasn’t pleased to see Qin Xuan and shot him a venomous glare. Qin Xuan ignored him once more.
“Are you sure you want to participate in the military training?” Qin Xuan asked Dongfang Qingwan, who was already dressed in her training uniform.
Wearing the military uniform, Dongfang Qingwan seemed even more captivating than usual. Though the loose clothes concealed her graceful figure, they lent her a unique charm. Unfortunately, her constitution wasn’t suited for such intense physical activity.
“Of course,” Dongfang Qingwan replied resolutely.
“Alright, then. I’m prepared for anything,” Qin Xuan shrugged, not pressing further. Perhaps it was best to let her experience some hardship herself, so she wouldn’t harbor any grudges against him. At worst, she’d faint—nothing too serious.
As Qin Xuan walked away, Dongfang Qingwan gazed at his retreating figure, a bit perplexed.
“It’s just military training; I don’t believe I can’t handle it,” she thought, annoyed, but she didn’t dwell on it.
Two girls who had known her since high school noticed and asked curiously, “Qingwan, is that Qin Xuan really your bodyguard? He’s been making quite a splash lately~”
Though news of the luxury car-smashing at the school gate hadn’t reached their ears yet, the story of how he beat up the Sun Country exchange students had already made Qin Xuan famous across the university.
“Yeah, Qingwan, he fought those Sun Country students for your sake, didn’t he? I really admire him~ Having a bodyguard like that is great, but if he were your boyfriend it’d be even better, wouldn’t it, Qingwan?”
Hearing her friends’ teasing, Dongfang Qingwan shot them a glare.
…
“Haha, boss, you actually look really good in the military uniform,” Zhou Xiaoyu couldn’t help but praise as he saw Qin Xuan change into his training gear.
Compared to his previous robes, though he’d lost that ethereal air, he now seemed even more handsome and dashing, the kind of look that caught the attention of all the girls.
“Xiao Yu’s got a crush on the boss—there’s some real chemistry there!” Gao Tie shouted excitedly.
“Are you looking for trouble?” Zhou Xiaoyu glared back, swinging a punch at him.
“Attention, everyone!” a commanding voice boomed from the loudspeakers, signaling the official start of the new students’ military training.
Qin Xuan glanced at Dongfang Qingwan in the neighboring group and reached into his pocket, reminding himself to be ready in case anything happened to her.
He carried a small vial filled with the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. If Dongfang Qingwan fainted from exhaustion and her unique constitution caused her energy to become disordered, there was only one solution: he would have to channel the spiritual energy into her body to restore her naturally.
However, he seemed to have overlooked a rather important problem…
