Electronic Nezha

Chapter 81 A Pitiful Person

The BMW drove in front, followed closely by Sun Zhancheng and his group in their little black car, while Xiao Wu and I followed at a leisurely pace, one car behind us.

Xiao Wu asked, "You know someone at the vehicle management office, right? How did this car pass its annual inspection?"

"Scrapping is no longer mandatory."

Xiao Wu suddenly said, "Brother, now that you have money, you can't replace me, right?"

I laughed and said, "Just change the car, but not you. Haven't you always complained about how old this car is?"

"So you're agreeing? But my Zero can't handle AI data transfer. You'll have to ask my Zero's Zero for me later." It was thinking far ahead.

The BMW entered an upscale residential area, and Sun Zhancheng tried to follow behind and take advantage of the situation, but was stopped by the barrier gate.

Sun Zhancheng honked the horn frantically.

The security guard rushed out of the security room and shouted, "Stop pressing the button! Outside vehicles aren't allowed in!"

Sun Zhancheng poked his head out and said, "He scratched our car!"

The security guard instinctively said, "Then you can handle it yourself." Given the Santana's condition, "handle it yourself" meant simply leave it alone...

At that moment, I stuck my head out and shouted, "We're fully responsible!"

The security guard immediately became serious.

Sun Zhancheng honked the horn intermittently and said to the security guard, "If you don't let us in, we're leaving."

The BMW driver, startled by the honking from behind, paused for a moment, probably checking his rearview mirror for any oil leaks or low tire pressure.

In the security guard's eyes, this was the homeowner waiting for the car behind to come and discuss the damage assessment with him, and he was afraid that we would run away, so he quickly raised the barrier.

After completing its self-inspection, the BMW drove off without noticing the two cars following behind.

The BMW was parked in front of an apartment building. The engine was off, but no one got out of the car, giving off an air of mystery and eeriness.

Sun Zhancheng and his men got out of the car about five or six meters away from the BMW. The four of them subtly surrounded the BMW, while I had Xiao Wu drive in front of the BMW to block its path.

Just then, the passenger door of the BMW opened first, and a sultry woman got out. She was wearing a mink coat over a short, tight-fitting skirt with bare legs, and a tight-fitting bra that revealed glimpses of her flesh. Immediately after, a middle-aged man got out of the driver's seat. He was dressed in a suit and looked handsome, but his face was pale. The two had obviously been cuddling in the car for a while. The man then leaned in and put his arm around the woman's waist, leading her into the building. His hand kept moving down, caressing the woman's buttocks.

Although they had gotten their fill of eye candy, the man was clearly not Chen Bing. Apart from Duan Shoujiang winking and making faces, Sun Zhancheng and the others looked quite grim.

On my way out of the residential area, I called Liu Zhenhua to ask if he had any new leads.

"Don't worry, we'll have the results soon," Liu Zhenhua said calmly.

"How to say?"

“After Chen Bing’s call with you this morning, I have checked almost all the vehicles that passed by or lingered near the museum. Most of the car owners have come forward. Two cars entered the highway, but they were eventually ruled out. Now there are police officers doing facial recognition at every highway entrance. It seems they are afraid that Chen Bing will run away.”

"So what can we do now?"

"You can head towards Minzhu Road first. The car owners who haven't shown up yet are all east of your location."

I asked curiously, "Do you know where I am right now?"

"What are you saying? If you didn't even have this much ability, would you dare let me go out alone?"

I looked up and saw a surveillance camera on the street. I waved to it.

“I saw it,” Liu Zhenhua said. Those drivers who passed by the museum would never have imagined that, because of a ten-second audio clip, they would be scrutinized like a sieve by a future super AI.

Thinking about it from another perspective is quite terrifying. There's a saying, "Heaven is watching what people do," which is basically about cause and effect. "Heaven is watching" is actually okay; God isn't that petty. He won't immediately retaliate if you do something minor, mainly because he's too busy. But "Heaven is watching what people do" is different. Like that guy driving the BMW earlier, without a doubt, he was having an affair. Luckily, I didn't find him a stepmother behind Liu Zhenhua's back.

Liu Zhenhua said, "Dad, you don't need to feel pressured. I definitely won't see you without your permission."

I declared firmly, "I'm not afraid of being seen either. A gentleman doesn't deceive himself in private, you know? That's what I'm talking about!" A gentleman doesn't deceive himself in private means adhering to moral standards even when no one is around. I think that's a very high level of achievement. Take me for example, apart from that time I got drunk and threw up at someone's place... I won't go into that. There was also that time I had an upset stomach and was looking for a toilet everywhere, and in the end... let's skip that. And then there was that time and that time, uh, it's fine if he doesn't look at me.

At that moment, Sun Zhancheng said over the walkie-talkie, "Fengzi, let's find a place to eat, we're hungry."

The four of them digested well; they each ate three apples and got hungry so quickly. Hmm, their stomachs are in good shape. If I had eaten three apples this morning, I would definitely be looking for a toilet right now.

Since we didn't have a specific goal, I parked the car in front of a noodle shop, and we all quickly sat down. The four of us had agreed beforehand that none of us would say much about the failure of the second operation, which touched me quite a bit.

Sun Zhancheng said, "Let's have two bowls of noodles each."

"It's not that I'm worried about the money. Let's just have one bowl each and see if we need more, okay?"

Cheng Sihai chuckled and said, "Don't underestimate us! We've conquered the world, how could we possibly make the boss cry at a buffet!"

Wu Lianfeng said, "This young man is quite clever. After this is over, he can join us." Just now, at the entrance of the community, it was all because of my words that the situation was reversed. Otherwise, we wouldn't have been able to even get in the gate. It seems that I have left a good impression on a few old gangsters.

Duan Shoujiang ordered a few more cold dishes. As soon as the noodles arrived, the four of them devoured them, finishing two bowls of noodles each, and even the cold bean sprouts and cucumber salad with minced garlic were completely gone.

Seeing this, I felt a little guilty, since I was largely responsible for the fact that the four of them had ended up in this state.

Just as I was about to pay the bill, Sun Zhancheng said, "Shoujiang, ask the waiter to bring a few bottles of beer so we can chat a bit."

The person who brought the beer was a young girl. She put down the beer and was about to take out a lighter from her apron pocket when Duan Shoujiang, with a cigarette in his mouth and one eye squinted, lit it all with a lighter.

The little girl, naive and inexperienced, watched the spectacle with a smile.

Duan Shoujiang said flirtatiously, "Want to learn? I'll teach you tonight."

The little girl turned and walked away as soon as she heard what he said.

I said to Sun Zhancheng speechlessly, "Do something about it!"

“Shoujiang, you really need to change your old habits. Haven’t you suffered enough from women?” Sun Zhancheng said maturely and seriously, then added, “Hey, what successful man doesn’t have a few flaws?” He then picked up a bottle of beer and said, “I’m having a good time today, let’s have a drink.”

What an inappropriate remark!
The four of them didn't use cups; they just held up the bottles and chug them down, each downing more than half a bottle.

It was only then that I realized what was happening, and I said to Sun Zhancheng, "You still have to drive!"

Sun Zhancheng said nonchalantly, "Does a bottle of beer count as alcohol? I can drink a pound of 60-proof liquor and make a right-angle turn without crossing the line!"

The other three agreed.

After Duan Shoujiang finished his meal and drinks, he took out his phone and showed the photos to the people at the table: "Look where that man's hand is touching."

The photo shows the man in the BMW and his lover from the morning. It seems Duan Shoujiang wasn't idle; he took photos from every angle with his phone.

The others chuckled as they looked at the photo.

At that moment, I finally understood the meaning of that saying: "There is always something hateful about a pitiful person."
