15: Father and son fighting
Seeing that he couldn't push him away, he felt a bit embarrassed for a moment.
Just as he was about to lose his temper, he looked up and met the Bodyguard's sharp gaze. He didn't dare to make eye contact and quickly turned his attention to Li Yi.
"Li Yi, what kind of skill is it to hide behind a Bodyguard? Since you’re here, it proves you still have spare money. Do you dare to compete again tonight? But looking at your pathetic state now, I know you wouldn’t dare, you coward."
Li Yi watched him get more and more excited, and his mood instantly sank to rock bottom.
Although he knew it was the other party's provocation, it was surprisingly effective, especially with such a direct challenge.
If he didn't respond, it would definitely spread among the second-generation circles in Jiangcheng tonight, without even waiting until tomorrow.
After all, this was Chen Gongdan's usual trick, to relentlessly suppress his momentum.
This was a case of the fathers fighting in the business world and the sons fighting offline.
It could be said that it was a father-and-son battle.
Yu Weijie, who was beside him, couldn't stand it and was about to say something.
But Li Yi stopped him with a hand, then turned to look at Chen Gongdan, "Heh heh, I have to say, your provocation is very effective. See you tonight at the old place, but this time the bet isn't three million, but twenty million. Do you dare?"
Chen Gongdan was greatly surprised by this. He didn't know what Li Yi was up to. Twenty million was not a small sum.
That was only how much his pocket money was for half a year. Of course, this didn't mean he only had that much money.
But Li Yi was different; he wasn't like him. He still had a company, but Li Yi didn't.
However, no matter what, he had started the whole thing, so he naturally wouldn't say he didn't dare. "Alright, twenty million it is. But I don't have that much cash on hand. If I lose, I'll give you the media company I own. That's enough to cover twenty million. I hope you don't go back on your word tonight."
After speaking, he took the few other second-generation heirs with him and turned to leave. He had originally intended to look at cars, but now, compared to spending money on a sports car, he was more interested in Li Yi's twenty million.
After they left, Yu Weijie then said, "Brother Yi, you were a bit impulsive, and twenty million… aren't you getting a new car?"
"Yes, why wouldn't I? But I'll get it after tonight."
Wang Shaojun, who had been in a state of 'eating melons' (observing gossip) nearby, suddenly asked curiously, "What kind of competition is this you're talking about?"
Seeing Wang Shaojun's curiosity, Li Yi's heart instantly filled with joy, and he quickly explained, "It's like this, Brother Jun. It's an underground boxing match. Both sides send someone to fight, and whoever is the last one standing wins. There aren't too many rules, as long as no one dies."
Actually, even if someone died, it would be fine, since agreements were signed before the match anyway.
Wang Shaojun didn't expect that these second-generation heirs had so many entertainment options. He had to admit, they really knew how to have fun.
"Can I place a bet? Is there a cap?"
Seeing Wang Shaojun's interest, Li Yi knew that tonight's match was secure, and the worry in his heart finally subsided. "Of course, betting is definitely allowed, but whether there's a cap, I really don't know. After all, so far, the highest individual bet amount seems to be only over forty million."
After saying that, he paused for a moment, then looked at the Bodyguard beside Wang Shaojun and said with some embarrassment, "Brother Jun, can I borrow your Bodyguard tonight? Don't worry, if we lose, I'll cover the money, and all medical expenses. If we win, that media company of theirs goes to you, Brother Jun, and I'll still cover the medical expenses."
The money didn't matter; the most important thing was that he wanted to curb Chen Gongdan's arrogance.
Yu Weijie, who was nearby, also looked at Wang Shaojun with anticipation. If he could lend them someone, they might actually win against that scoundrel Chen Gongdan tonight.
Wang Shaojun saw their eyes, filled with both expectation and apprehension, looking at him.
His impression of Li Yi was still good, and the Yu Family was considered a local power in Jiangcheng, with a market value of over two hundred billion. Adding the Yu Family, it would easily exceed four hundred billion.
Moreover, for him, it was just a small favor. Although doing so might offend Chen Gongdan.
But what did that matter? It was free money; it would be foolish not to take it.
If the other party decided to back down after seeing this, then so be it. But if he tried to play some tricks, then he would simply take over the Chen Family's assets as well.
After all, who would complain about having too much money?
Thinking of this, he nodded and said, "Okay, it's a good opportunity to see it tonight."
Hmm, and earn some pocket money along the way.
Hearing that Wang Shaojun was willing to lend someone, Li Yi was overjoyed. Although he didn't know if they could win, it was definitely better than the fighters he could find himself.
"Thank you, Brother Jun."
He called him Brother Jun wholeheartedly, after all, they had only known each other for less than two days, at most.
Subsequently, the group continued to browse the car show. After a round, Wang Shaojun didn't see any sports cars with a price point comparable to the bugatti tourbillon.
In the end, he had no choice but to buy another McLaren Senna, plus a leopard-print license plate from Modu, costing around thirty million.
The two cars combined were about 110 million.
As for how the other party would get the license plate number, that was no longer his concern.
Looking at other sports cars, most were only a few million or tens of millions, not his preferred type, so he didn't continue buying.
Li Yi looked at Yu Weijie beside him and asked curiously, "Xiao Jie, aren't you buying one?"
Unexpectedly, the other party smiled and said, "Hehe, well, Brother Yi, I want to save it to double my money tonight. Then I can directly pick up a car worth over thirty million."
"Damn, you kid actually have over ten million? Didn't you say it was only a few million?"
"Maybe it's because I complained to my mom about being poor before I came. She just transferred a few more million to me."
Upon hearing this, Li Yi didn't know what to say. He could only conclude that, as expected of a friend he had grown up with, he thought the same way he did.
Seeing their expressions, Wang Shaojun knew that they weren't planning to buy cars now, so he didn't stay any longer.
When they arrived, the convoy consisted of three sports cars, but on the way back, it became five. The other two were naturally driven back by Bodyguards.
The convoy of five supercars and two land rover range rovers immediately attracted the attention of passersby once again.
Inside Manor No. 3!
Wang Shaojun comfortably lay on the sofa, resting his feet on the Maidservant's lap, enjoying her massage while scrolling through short videos on Douyin.
What surprised him was that as he scrolled, he actually stumbled upon himself, or more accurately, his car.
And the popularity seemed quite good, with over a hundred thousand likes and tens of thousands of comments.
He opened it up and saw that it was all exclamations of awe and envy.
He merely smiled at this and scrolled past it.
