Chapter 226 What Are You Looking For?

Chu Yuxuan watched the three mechanics in the workshop replacing his tires with a complex expression, as if contemplating something.

Out of the corner of his eye, he noticed the thin man under the eaves. Turning to look, he saw the man's expression was somewhat off, with a hint of panic in his gaze. Chu Yuxuan stepped forward with a faint smile and said, "Why are you looking at me like that?"

The thin man swallowed hard, trembling as he stood up. "Y-you must be Mr. Chu, right?"

Chu Yuxuan smirked, his expression peculiar as he sighed and said, "I was just thinking about how to warn you so that you wouldn't harm others again. Why did you have to recognize me? Haha..."

The thin man's heart leaped into his throat. He only understood part of Chu Yuxuan's words but feared that having offended the young master of the Chu family would lead to dire consequences. He immediately decided to go inside, wake up his boss who had been passed out for some time, and have the boss personally apologize and return the 50,000 yuan, even if it meant paying a bit more. It was better than having Chu Yuxuan hold a grudge and causing trouble later, right?

But he didn't expect that the young master was not one to hold grudges or rely on the Chu family.

Seeing the thin man nervously about to leave, Chu Yuxuan casually raised his hand, grabbing him by the neck and pinning him to the chair. Leaning in, he whispered, "I'm not a good person, nor am I bound by the law, but I understand one thing: those who commit evil will eventually end up in hell! Heh... Let me help you a bit ahead of time!"

The thin man struggled to breathe, unable to call for help. His eyes pleaded and filled with terror as he looked at Chu Yuxuan, his hands desperately trying to pry Chu Yuxuan's grip off but to no avail.

In the next moment, Chu Yuxuan gave a gentle twist, and there was a sharp crack as the thin man's bones broke. Chu Yuxuan remained impassive, even arranging the man into a sleeping position, making him look quite peaceful and serene.

Not far away, Lao Si witnessed the entire process, blinking calmly before heading toward the workshop.

In the workshop, two of the mechanics had already replaced the left front tire of the Hummer. One of them lit a cigarette and went to assist the mechanic working on the right front tire, while another shifty-eyed mechanic showed no intention of helping. Sneaking a glance outside and seeing that the other two brothers were absent, he took out his usual tools and skillfully pried open the car door, eager to see if there was anything valuable inside.

After searching the front seat and finding that the cash in the storage compartment had already been taken by Chu Yuxuan, the mechanic looked in the back seat and was amazed to find several large black leather bags. His eyes lit up as he eagerly reached for the nearest bag, but it was surprisingly heavy. The mechanic was astonished and excited, wondering if the bag contained gold.

Anyone who could afford such a luxury car wouldn't fill it with worthless junk, right? Even if it wasn't gold, it had to be something valuable.

But the excitement quickly turned to fear. If the bag did contain gold or other valuables, the car owner's background must be significant. Even his boss wouldn't dare to mess with them.

However, driven by greed and intense curiosity, he couldn't bring himself to back off. Wealth was within sight, and he was itching to see more.

"Let's see what it is first. Adapt and respond..."

Thinking this, the mechanic eagerly unzipped the bag and reached inside, accidentally feeling a metal object about the size of a duck egg.

"What is this..." The mechanic wondered as he pulled out the "metal duck egg." The car was dark inside, so he brought it closer to his face to see it better.

At that moment, a cold voice came from behind, "Is it nice?"

The mechanic finally saw what the metal duck egg was, and his body froze. Trembling, he turned around to see Lao Si's seemingly harmless face. But in the mechanic's eyes, that face could no longer be associated with "harmless."

Who has a car filled with hand grenades and looks harmless?!

"What are you looking for?" Lao Si asked, with a hint of mockery in his eyes.

The mechanic tried to stay calm, but in this situation, no normal person could maintain composure. He shakily stuffed the grenade back into the bag, nervously retreating from the passenger seat, and then turned, pressing his back tightly against the car door, sweating profusely, and staring at Lao Si with fear. "N-nothing, I was just... just planning to wash the car and move the stuff out."

At this moment, the mechanic's mind was in disarray, and he could only come up with such an unbelievable excuse. He even foolishly blamed his two accomplices in his mind for not warning him.

But when he saw Lao Si holding a curved knife with fresh blood dripping from it, his scalp went numb. He instinctively glanced towards the right front tire and saw that his two accomplices were lying in a pool of blood, their throats still gushing blood!

To have quietly taken out two people, is this still human?!

Lao Si unhurriedly inserted the curved knife into the mechanic's mouth, then tilted his head to the side, and with a blank expression, said, "Move aside, I don't want to clean the car."

The mechanic's vision blurred between black and white, his breathing erratic and suffocating. He wanted to scream, but with the knife in his mouth, it seemed to press against his throat, and he couldn't make a sound!

Seeing him frozen in shock, Lao Si didn't waste any more words. He grabbed the mechanic by the hair, yanked him to the side, and with one swing of the curved knife, sliced through the left half of the mechanic's face. Then, with another cut, he sl*t the mechanic's throat, leaving him on the ground to experience the final moments of despair and fear before death.

Seeing the two drops of blood still splattered on the car door, Lao Si's eyes showed some impatience. Muttering "Oh, come on," he wiped off the blood, sheathed the knife, and personally finished putting on the last two screws on the right front tire.

At the same time, the Fat Man emerged from the office with a stack of receipts, smiling at Chu Yuxuan. "Here's tonight's bill. If there are no issues, let's settle up."

Chu Yuxuan smiled gently, took the bill, and said, "So expensive?"

The Fat Man clicked his tongue. "Expensive? This is for a small car. Towing is a thousand per kilometer, even if it's less than a kilometer, it's still charged as a thousand! As for the tires... too many damages to repair, so we replaced them with brand-name ones, eight thousand each. That's the market price! Besides, you look like a big deal. You shouldn't worry about these details, right?"
