Chapter 15 You Really Are Following Me

Chen Feng, who was leaning forward to talk to the driver, was almost thrown forward and couldn’t help but curse as well.

“How are you driving?”

As soon as the driver got out of the car, he angrily accused the driver who had just gotten out of the car in front.

Chen Feng had also seen what happened. Everyone was driving fine, and then the car in front suddenly slammed on its brakes.

The taxi driver, perhaps distracted by talking to Chen Feng, didn’t brake in time.

The driver in front was a woman, in her thirties, with a good temperament.

She ignored the taxi driver’s tone, first went to the back of her car to check the damage, and then said, “Do you want to settle this privately or publicly? If we settle privately, we each fix our own. If we go public, we wait for the traffic police.”

The taxi driver said, “Private settlement is fine. Pay me a thousand yuan. My entire bumper needs to be replaced.”

The woman got angry upon hearing this and said, “Then you pay for my repair costs too. It’s not expensive, five thousand yuan will do.”

The taxi driver said even louder, “Are you being reasonable? You suddenly braked hard. Would I have rear-ended you otherwise?”

The woman said with a straight face, “You’re the one being unreasonable. What kind of car is mine, and what kind of car is yours? If we each fix our own, you’re the one getting the better deal, and you still want to extort money from me.”

The woman was driving an Audi, worth several hundred thousand, and it looked relatively new. The taxi, of course, couldn’t compare.

“Just because your car is good, you’re right? Besides, you suddenly braked hard while driving normally. It’s definitely your responsibility,” the taxi driver said stubbornly.

Chen Feng was a little speechless listening to this. The rear car was definitely responsible for this rear-end collision because it didn’t maintain a safe distance. And the traffic laws were pretty much all stipulated this way.

This taxi driver obviously thought this female driver was easy to talk to and wanted to extort some money, otherwise he would have called the police long ago.

However, the driver had been distracted, and it was also related to him, the passenger, so Chen Feng couldn’t really say anything.

At this moment, a woman wearing sunglasses got out of the Audi in front and said impatiently, “Sister E, what’s there to say to this kind of person? Just call the police. Does he think we female drivers don’t know the traffic laws?”

Hearing this, the female driver took out her phone and was about to call the police, but the taxi driver stopped her and said angrily, “Don’t call the police.”

After speaking, the taxi driver even reached out and pushed the woman who had just gotten out of the car, causing her to stumble and fall back against the car body.

The taxi driver was still not satisfied and pointed his finger, cursing, “You better watch your mouth. What do you mean ‘this kind of person’? Do you look down on us common folk?”

He stepped forward, looking down at the woman, as if he was about to hit her.

Chen Feng originally didn’t want to get involved, but seeing this, he quickly opened the car door, took a few steps forward, and pulled the taxi driver back, persuading, “Alright, alright. Don’t be impulsive. This was originally just a common traffic accident. If you keep making a scene, you’ll be detained.”

“I didn’t hit her. This woman’s mouth is too foul. You heard her too, she insulted me first.”

The taxi driver’s mind finally cleared up a bit. He took two steps back and was no longer aggressive.

“Alright, this beautiful sister, you don’t need to call the police either. I think you’re all in a hurry, and so are we. You probably aren’t short of money. How about this, let’s each take a step back, settle it privately. You can give this master a few hundred for repair fees, and we’ll call it even.”

Chen Feng was playing the role of a peacemaker, slightly favoring the taxi driver. Of course, it was mainly for the safety of the two women.

This taxi driver looked like he had a bad temper. If he really wanted to hit someone, Chen Feng couldn’t stop him.

Although the two women would suffer a small loss, at least they wouldn’t get beaten.

The female driver, Sister E, nodded and said, “Alright, I’ll give you five hundred. If not, let’s just go public.”

“No, at least eight hundred,” the taxi driver became firm again.

Chen Feng was suddenly unhappy. This taxi driver was really pushing his luck.

Moreover, his behavior made Chen Feng, the peacemaker, lose face. He couldn’t be bothered to persuade him anymore.

He turned to go back to the car to get his luggage, intending to get another taxi. He didn’t care what happened here.

Just as he turned around, he heard the sound of a siren, and then he saw a traffic policeman on a motorcycle approaching.

Sister E quickly raised her hand and shouted to the traffic policeman, “Officer, I’m calling the police.”

The taxi driver was very anxious when he saw this and quickly said, “No need to trouble the police. We’ll settle it privately, each fixing our own.”

“No!” the woman who had just been pushed shouted, “I want to sue you. You pushed me just now.”

Following that, a police car also arrived.

The taxi driver was completely stunned. He had played his hand too far.

Chen Feng secretly shook his head, went over and opened the taxi door, then picked up his luggage bag, and was about to walk to the side of the road.

“Officer, quickly grab him! That person is in cahoots with this taxi driver. I suspect they are professional scammers trying to extort money.”

With the sunglasses-wearing woman’s shout, everyone’s eyes turned to Chen Feng, who was carrying his luggage.

The taxi driver was the first to react. He was quite righteous and quickly clarified for Chen Feng, “What scam? We are all decent people. He is a passenger I picked up from the airport. He just got off the plane not long ago. We don’t even know each other. How can we be in cahoots?”

Chen Feng was also very speechless as he looked at this woman and said coldly, “Please use your brain before you speak. Have you forgotten we were on the same plane? I even accidentally bumped into you when we were about to get off.”

The woman in sunglasses suddenly showed a look of realization, “oh-ed” a couple of times, and said, “No wonder you look a bit familiar. So it was you. You deliberately bumped into me on the plane, and now you deliberately had this taxi driver hit my car. Who are you? What’s your conspiracy in following me and getting close to me?”

Chen Feng was completely defeated. He couldn’t be bothered to waste any more time with a woman who had problems with her brain.

He picked up his luggage and crossed the road while there were few cars.

The woman in sunglasses was not reconciled and still wanted the traffic police to arrest Chen Feng. But the traffic police ignored her, making her so angry she could only stomp her foot.

To get away from this woman, he didn’t call a taxi there. He walked at least a few hundred meters before hailing a passing taxi.

This time, he finally arrived at the reserved five-star hotel smoothly.

It wasn’t a presidential suite. It wasn’t that Chen Feng was reluctant to spend the money, but that the online booking service didn’t offer it.

However, the deluxe suite he booked was also very nice. It was spacious, and the interior was decorated very luxuriously. More importantly, standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window and looking at the city’s night view outside gave a very materialistic feeling.

The room rate of over seven thousand a night was equivalent to his previous salary for almost two months.

In the past, he would never have dreamed that he would be so extravagant and corrupt. But now that he had tens of millions, he really didn’t feel bad about spending it like this.

Of course, this might also be related to the fact that he was about to die.

If he didn’t have a terminal illness, even with over ten million in savings, he probably wouldn’t spend it like this.

After standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window for a while, he went to take a shower and changed into clean clothes.

He looked at the time; it was almost eight o’clock in the evening, and his stomach was already growling with hunger.

He first went to the bathroom to tidy up, then took his room card and went out. This five-star hotel had a restaurant, and its buffet restaurant had very good online reviews. It was 588 yuan per person, and many people said it was worth it.

He opened the door, went out, closed the door, and had just walked a few steps towards the elevator when he met two women head-on.

“It’s you! You really are following me!” the woman cried out in some panic.

That Sister E also looked at Chen Feng with a wary expression, stepping forward to block the woman in sunglasses.
