93: Chapter 93 Knight XVI!

10:00 AM.

The car slowly drove out of the Yunding Hotel.

Today's Jianghai City seemed much livelier than usual.

Along the way, many vehicles with out-of-town license plates stopped and started.

Some were from Yunzhou, some from Linhai, and others from Shanghai.

Many people were holding up their phones, pointing them shakily at the sky.

Inside the business van.

Seeing this scene, Chen Fan's expression was rather strange.

If he wasn't mistaken, were these people here for the lifespan treasure?

The personal butler sat in the passenger seat, introducing with a smile:

“Mr. Chen, actually, you've arrived at a very opportune time today.”

“How so?”

Chen Fan asked casually.

“Today happens to be the last day of the Jianghai International Auto Show, and several large dealerships that partner with our hotel have set up booths there.”

“There are plenty of cars in stock. If you find a model you like, the paperwork can be completed in as fast as two hours, and you can drive it away today.”

Chen Fan nodded. “That does save some trouble.”

When it comes to buying a car, the worst part is waiting.

Buying it and driving it away on the same day perfectly fit his plans.

After all, he already planned to leave Jianghai City.

He hadn't decided where his next stop would be.

Maybe neighboring Jiangnan City, or maybe Linjiang City.

Or even head all the way north, going wherever his heart desired.

In any case, he now had money, a storage ring, and strength.

There was nothing left to bind him.

The personal butler continued,

“You mentioned this morning that you wanted something spacious and highly secure.”

“So I focused on contacting a few luxury brands.”

“You can take your time looking when we get there.”

Chen Fan nodded with a smile.

“Thank you for your hard work.”

“It's my pleasure.”

Half an hour later.

The business van slowly drove off the elevated highway.

From afar, Chen Fan could see a massive exhibition center.

Even before they got close, the parking lot was already completely full.

Outside the hall, crowds of people were bustling back and forth.

Many young people were holding cameras.

There were also many streamers holding up their phones for live broadcasts.

“So many people?” Chen Fan was somewhat surprised.

The butler immediately smiled and explained, “Today is the last day of the auto show, so many brands have promotional offers. Plus, quite a few limited-edition models are making their debut today, so the foot traffic is naturally higher.”

Chen Fan nodded.

The car slowly drove into the private parking area.

As soon as it came to a stop, several staff members quickly walked over to greet them.

Clearly, the hotel had already given them a heads-up in advance.

“Hello, Mr. Chen.”

“Welcome, welcome.”

“Hope you had a pleasant journey.”

A middle-aged man in a suit quickly stepped forward, his face full of smiles as he shook hands and introduced himself.

“I am Zhou Hong, the person in charge of this auto show.”

“The hotel has already called us.”

“We will definitely make sure you are satisfied today.”

Chen Fan nodded with a smile.

“Thank you for the trouble.”

“Not at all, not at all.”

Zhou Hong made a gesturing motion to guide him.

“Mr. Chen, this way please.”

...

As soon as they entered the exhibition hall,

Chen Fan found himself a bit dazzled.

All kinds of luxury cars were neatly arranged.

Sports cars.

Coupes.

Business vans.

Off-roaders.

SUVs.

They had everything.

Under the bright lights,

every single car was gleaming.

The voice of the host introducing the vehicles continuously echoed in his ears.

Many young women were gathered around the luxury cars taking photos.

And streamers were holding up their phones for live broadcasts.

The entire exhibition hall was bustling with noise and excitement.

However, Chen Fan's goal was very clear: a full-size SUV.

Thus, they walked all the way to the luxury SUV exhibition area.

“Mr. Chen.”

“Take a look at this one first.”

Looking in the direction of Zhou Hong's finger,

a pure black full-size SUV was parked there.

The front of the car was boxy, with sharp, rugged lines.

The first impression it gave was sheer dominance.

“This is the escalade.”

“6.2-liter V8 engine.”

“Very spacious.”

“The safety features are also extremely comprehensive.”

“Many entrepreneurs love this model.”

Chen Fan walked a circle around the car.

It was indeed nice.

Especially after sitting inside.

The line of sight was very high, and the seats were very comfortable.

The only issue... he felt like it was missing a little something.

He couldn't quite put his finger on it.

“Let's look around some more.”

Chen Fan said with a smile.

“Of course.”

The group immediately moved to the side.

“This one is the Baize.”

Its body was even longer than the escalade.

The overall style leaned more towards business.

Yet the interior was packed with high-tech vibes.

Large screens.

Leather seats.

The rear seats could even be folded flat to serve as a bed.

Zhou Hong introduced it with great enthusiasm.

“If you travel long distances frequently,”

“this one is actually very suitable.”

Chen Fan nodded.

Nice.

Really nice.

But... it was still a bit hard to choose.

So they continued forward.

Next, they looked at several more cars.

Some leaned towards off-roading.

Some leaned towards business.

There were even six-seater and seven-seater versions.

It had to be said that once one had money,

one of the biggest headaches was having too many choices.

Because...

Every single one was good.

He wanted every single one.

Chen Fan stood there,

unable to make up his mind for a moment.

The escalade was dominant.

The Baize was comfortable.

Another had strong off-road performance.

And yet another had an interior as luxurious as a first-class cabin.

“Tsk...”

Chen Fan rubbed his chin.

It really was a bit hard to choose.

Beside him, Zhou Hong and the others exchanged glances.

They all felt a bit uneasy.

Was he... unsatisfied?

Normally, by this point in the presentation, a customer would show some sort of preference.

Yet the man before them hadn't expressed any opinion at all.

Could it be...

that he didn't like any of them?

Thinking of this, they all felt a bit nervous.

After all, the higher-ups had specially given them instructions.

This person...

was absolutely an esteemed guest.

If they let him leave disappointed,

it would be hard to carry out future cooperation.

Zhou Hong remained silent for a few seconds.

Suddenly, as if remembering something, he gritted his teeth.

“Mr. Chen.”

“Actually... we have one more car here.”

As soon as these words were spoken, the sales representatives nearby were stunned.

Another car?

They all looked at him, their expressions rather strange.

How come they didn't know about it?

Wait!

Could it be...

Zhou Hong didn't explain.

He just kept looking at Chen Fan.

“That car has never been on public display.”

“Strictly speaking, it's not something we planned to sell either.”

“It's just been parked in the warehouse all this time due to some special reasons.”

Chen Fan was instantly intrigued. “What car is it?”

Zhou Hong took a deep breath. “The Knight... XV!”

As soon as he finished speaking, the faces of the sales representatives nearby changed simultaneously.

As expected!

It really was that one!

One of them couldn't help but speak up.

“Manager Zhou, that car...”

Zhou Hong raised his hand to interrupt him.

Then, he explained with a smile.

“Mr. Chen.”

“This car was ordered two years ago by a wealthy heir of a conglomerate.”

“Almost all the paperwork was completed.”

“But later...”

He paused slightly at this point.

“That company's capital chain had issues.”

“And they were later plagued by debt.”

“The payment for the car was never settled.”

“So, naturally, the car has remained with us.”

Another female sales representative beside them quickly added:

“Currently, there are only three of this model in the entire country.”

“One is in the north, and another has already been privately collected.”

“The remaining one is this very car we have.”
