412: Conclusive evidence

"I bought that apartment a while ago, intending to use it as an investment, but there is a slight issue with it, and I don't know if you guys would mind."

"What kind of issue?" Jiang Zhibin asked casually. "It's not like someone died in it, right?"

The next second, Ye Su dropped a bombshell: "Someone actually did die in that apartment."

Hearing this, the three of them put down their bowls and chopsticks and looked at Ye Su in unison: "A haunted house!"

"Uh... I wouldn't call it that haunted. It's just that the previous owner died during sex while having a lesson with his teacher."

Ye Su briefly explained the situation regarding the apartment and the previous owner to the three of them.

"Oh—" The three of them realized what he meant.

"When you said someone died, I thought it was like what they show on TV—dismemberment cases, hiding bodies under the stove, blood and guts splattered all over the floor. So it was just a death during sex? That's nothing."

Hearing Jiang Zhibin's words, Fang Zewei and Lin Jingjie nodded repeatedly. Clearly, none of the three felt any disgust regarding the previous owner's method of death.

"If you guys don't mind, you can stay in that apartment for now. I'll have someone replace the furniture in the house with new ones in the next couple of days. You just need to pay the property management fees and utilities every month. If anything needs repair, just let me know."

"And you're even helping us replace the furniture? That's so embarrassing—"

Ye Su glanced at Jiang Zhibin: "Embarrassed, huh? Then I won't replace the furniture in the room you're sleeping in; I'll only replace theirs."

"Tsk, tsk, tsk—" Lin Jingjie clicked his tongue: "So you want to use the same bed as that dude who died during sex and have some long-distance communication with him, huh? Truly worthy of being an old pro."

Fang Zewei remained silent, simply giving Jiang Zhibin a thumbs-up to show his respect.

Thinking about the guy who died on top of a woman and likely had sex on the very bed he would be sleeping in, Jiang Zhibin got goosebumps all over. He gave Ye Su a fawning smile:

"Foster father, I'm actually not that embarrassed. Since you're going to replace the furniture anyway, just replace mine too while you're at it."

Ye Su said nothing and raised a middle finger at Jiang Zhibin.

Jiang Zhibin was unmoved and even lecherously made a little heart shape at Ye Su, grossing out all three people present.

"Screw you!"

The three of them shouted in unison, which finally made Jiang Zhibin shut his mouth and obediently lower his head to eat.

...

Meanwhile, inside the Yue Cheng Second-hand Car Dealership, an employee was handing an inspection report to Chen Qi:

"Manager Chen, this is the report from the comprehensive inspection of the Cayenne you asked me to do this morning. The car doesn't have any other issues, but it seems to have been in a collision before. There are records of repairs to the bumper and the car paint."

"Hmm?" Chen Qi frowned, reached out to take the report, and began checking it page by page:

"They're really selling an accident car as a new car. If Ye Su hadn't been extra cautious, he really would've been fooled by the Chilun 4S Dealership."

Regarding this inspection result, Chen Qi, who was well-versed in the industry's tricks, wasn't particularly surprised.

He had just seen it while scrolling through the news yesterday.

Just halfway through this year, there had already been over 200,000 automotive consumer complaints on the 12315 platform, with quality issues, contract fraud, and information concealment accounting for over 60%.

Additionally, Chen Qi also knew that many 4S dealerships would sell display cars as new cars, which would allow the dealership to make an extra three to five percent in profit.

"Have the repair records for that car been saved?"

"They have all been saved."

"Alright, I understand."

After the employee left, Chen Qi picked up his phone, took a few photos of the inspection report, and sent them to Ye Su.

[Chen Qi: You really ran into it. The Cayenne you picked up is an accident car. Here are the repair records.]

"That was fast!"

Just having finished his meal, Ye Su received Chen Qi's message and felt as if he could see the over 4 million in compensation lining up to jump into his pocket.

Excited as he was, Ye Su still had to play the part.

[Damn it!]

[They talked such a big game when I picked up the car, and they actually sold me an accident car.]

[Good thing I kept my guard up, otherwise I really would have been slaughtered like a sucker by them!]

[Chen Qi: What do you plan to do about this car? Go and make the 4S dealership take it back?]

[Returning the car isn't enough. Help me secure the evidence. I want them to refund one and pay three times the amount as per the contract.]

[Chen Qi: No problem.]

[Chen Qi: However, a 4S dealership that dares to do this usually has a pretty decent legal department. It probably won't be that easy to make them pay triple.]

[It's fine. If they dare to scam me, I'll just play with them slowly.]

Seeing this message, Chen Qi mentally held a moment of silence for the Chilun 4S Dealership.

The chaos in 4S dealerships is persistent, all because they rely on their legal departments being stronger than the average person's. At the same time, when consumers want to defend their rights, they face difficulties in providing evidence and long time-consuming processes, often unable to outlast the 4S dealership in terms of time and energy.

But it just so happens that the person they've provoked now is a college student in his early twenties, at the peak of his energy and temper.

As luck would have it, this college student has money, time, and, in all likelihood, knows quite a few people in Yangcheng.

Scamming such a person—what's the difference between that and kicking an iron plate?

[Chen Qi: Alright, I've prepared the inspection proof and everything for you. Just take it with you when you come to get the car.]

[I won't say any thank yous; I'll definitely be treating you to a meal.]

[Chen Qi: OK]

After chatting with Chen Qi, Ye Su started searching online for information related to "refund one, pay three," preparing to go confront the 4S dealership in the afternoon.

...

During the fifth and sixth periods in the afternoon, with Lin Jingjie's assistance, Ye Su passed his computer exam without a hitch.

After the exam ended, Ye Su returned to the Yue Cheng Second-hand Car Dealership, thanked Chen Qi, took the evidence he provided, and returned to the Chilun 4S Dealership.

"Mr. Ye!"

The moment she spotted Ye Su, Lin Xiaxuan excitedly ran up to him:

"You came over so suddenly, is there anything you need my help with?"

Lin Xiaxuan was still fantasizing that Ye Su's sudden visit was specifically to see her.

It would be best if he had inexplicably broken up with his girlfriend and couldn't give away that porsche.

Returning to the dealership now must mean he wanted to accept her hint from the morning and have her go out to "test drive" with him.

Just as Lin Xiaxuan was imagining a whole drama, Ye Su said the words she least wanted to hear:

"The car I picked up this morning has some issues. Have your manager come out to handle it."

"That car has issues?" Lin Xiaxuan was stunned, then revealed a row of white teeth:

"I don't know what kind of issues that car has, but I can help you handle it first."

Ye Su's tone was unquestionable: "You can't handle this. It's better to have your manager come out."

Looking at Ye Su's serious expression, Lin Xiaxuan keenly sensed that the car might really have a major problem.

Could it be that the manager passed off inferior goods as superior, selling a stock car as a new one?

Or did they secretly swap out the original imported parts and now they've been discovered?

"In that case, Mr. Ye, please wait a moment. I'll have our manager come over to help you resolve the issue."

"Mm."
