"Are you saying now that my sister scratched your car?!"

Gu Bai asked as he pointed at the black Maybach with a long scratch on it.

Xu Beibei had never told a lie since she was little. When she said the car wasn't scratched by her, Gu Bai immediately believed her unconditionally.

The middle-aged man hesitated for a moment after seeing the fierceness in Gu Bai's eyes but still spoke defiantly, "I don't believe you can kill me. Not only did your sister scratch my car, but you also attacked me. I don't believe there is no justice in this society!

If you have the guts, then kill me!"

As Gu Bai prepared to kick him again, the onlookers finally spoke up.

"Young man, stop it. If you keep hitting, you'll harm him to death."

"Alright, say no more. Bringing a few bodyguards when going out, who knows which big family's young master he is?"

Apart from those who advised Gu Bai to stop, there were some onlookers with a sarcastic attitude and a resentment towards the rich.

"Can having money make you so arrogant? You scratch someone else's car and beat him up. I'm telling you, I have filmed everything, and will post it online soon. I don't believe no one can deal with you!"

Now that someone had taken the lead, a torrent of accusations poured in all at once.

Xu Beibei, having never experienced such a situation, stood scared next to Gu Bai.

Just as the crowd's accusations were mounting, Liu Ying, who had been absent until now, appeared with a man wearing the same sales uniform as hers.

The man walked directly to Gu Bai and respectfully said, "Hello, Mr. Gu, I am Manager Zhang Wenqiao from Yingjiang Imperial Villa sales office. Liu Ying has already explained the situation to me. I strongly believe your sister wouldn't damage someone else's car. Fortunately, there's a camera here, and I have informed the security department. They'll be coming over with the surveillance footage shortly."

While speaking, he continually hinted at Gu Bai.

He implied that Gu Bai should ask Xu Beibei whether she really scratched the car because once the footage arrives, it might be difficult to back down.

Gu Bai and Xu Beibei understood his gaze, and Xu Beibei shook her head firmly.

"It was a bicycle that scratched it! I stayed behind just to tell that uncle."

By now, Gu Bai was entirely convinced that this middle-aged man, whose car was scratched, couldn't find the real culprit and saw Xu Beibei as an easy target to scapegoat.

"Manager Zhang! Manager Zhang! It's me, I'm President Liu's driver, you saw me just a few days ago."

The middle-aged man, being held by Gu Yi, struggled and shouted at Zhang Wenqiao.

Zhang Wenqiao frowned and glanced back at him, his eyes full of contempt.

He recognized the middle-aged man from when he arrived. The man was indeed a driver for one of the villa district homeowners.

But compared to Gu Bai, a mere driver was nothing, even if the real owner of the car came, Zhang Wenqiao would still choose to stand by Gu Bai's side without hesitation, as he knew Gu Bai's true identity. His good friend was part of Gu Bai's life management team and had disclosed Gu Bai's identity to him, repeatedly instructing him to treat him well and not to neglect him.

Zhang Wenqiao ignored him and instead flashed an ingratiating smile at Gu Bai without saying anything.

Seeing this, the middle-aged man immediately realized that things were not as they seemed. The Gu Bai in front of him was definitely not an ordinary person, and with the surveillance footage on its way, he panicked.

He truly didn't know who scratched the car. If this young lady wasn't lying, then he would be in serious trouble.

At the thought of this, the middle-aged man struggled hard.

"I believe this young lady didn't scratch the car! Just let me down first!"

Gu Bai chuckled at his words and ordered Gu Yi to release him.

Gu Yi directly dropped the middle-aged man at Gu Bai's feet, and as the man cried out in pain, a cloud of dust rose around him.

Gu Bai squatted down, smiling, and asked, "So? Do you believe now that my sister didn't scratch your car?"

The middle-aged man couldn't get up for a while, grimacing in pain on the ground, "I believe, I really believe."

"But it's too late to believe now. When the surveillance footage comes over, if it does turn out that my sister made the scratch, I'll not only compensate you with a new car but also offer you five million as medical expenses.

However, if my sister isn't the one who scratched it, I'll simply sue you for extortion, letting you spend your New Year with free room and board."

As Gu Bai spoke, he slapped the middle-aged man's face repeatedly.

He acted like a villain in a movie.

Upon hearing Gu Bai's intention to sue him, the middle-aged man panicked entirely.

He quickly got up and begged, "I really realized my mistake; I believe your sister didn't scratch the car. It's all my fault. Please be the bigger person and let me go!"

Gu Bai glanced at him indifferently, saying nothing, and stood up, ignoring the man clinging to his pant leg.

"Manager Zhang, please speak on my behalf to this esteemed gentleman!"

Zhang Wenqiao, who had honed his skills to perfection as a sales manager, could read from Gu Bai's expression that he had no intention of forgiving the middle-aged man and naturally wouldn't speak up to displease Gu Bai. He stood aside as if he had never seen the middle-aged man before.

Seeing Gu Bai ignoring him, the middle-aged man resorted to his old trick, trying to leverage the onlookers to pressure Gu Bai.

"Please, I'm really sorry, my mind was clouded by greed!

I'm just a driver, my whole family relies on my meager salary to survive. Just seeing the car scratched, I panicked since I'd have to compensate my boss for it, and I can't afford such an amount. I only wanted to extort some money from your sister to cover it...

I really realized my error. I have two kids who are studying; I can't go to jail!"

In an instant, as the middle-aged man cried pitifully, many onlookers began to feel restless.

"Young man, it's often said to forgive when one can. Doesn't everyone face hardships sometimes? He admitted his mistake, and you didn't lose anything, so let him off."

"Yes, repaying evil with good will have its rewards."

"Exactly, you're already so wealthy, why insist on targeting a mere driver? He wouldn't have wronged your sister if he wasn't in financial straits."

Suddenly, the surrounding onlookers seemed to radiate with a saintly glow, all turning into reincarnations of Buddha.

Xu Beibei had never witnessed a scene where the victim suddenly became the perpetrator, and she hesitated, looking up with her big eyes, confused and helpless at Gu Bai.

Gu Bai tenderly patted Xu Beibei's head with a smile.

"Remember to stay away from such people in the future, alright? These kinds of people, if sent to the crematorium, wouldn't yield ashes but relics; I fear lightning might strike them and unintentionally hit you."

Gu Bai deliberately raised his voice so that all the onlookers could hear him.

Some with a sense of shame had already turned away, while others, hearing Gu Bai's sarcastic comments about them, retorted, "How dare you speak like this, young man?"

Gu Bai coldly smirked at the person who spoke.

"When this idiot falsely accused my sister, why didn't I see you speak up for her? Now you can't resist spilling over with your Miss Goody-Two-Shoes sympathies upon seeing him act pitifully? Stay away from me; your sanctimonious stench makes me want to vomit."

The face of the onlooker grew red with embarrassment under Gu Bai's retort.

"I'm just asking you to forgive when you can! This is the traditional virtue of our Hua Country!"

In his words, he took a stand on moral high ground.

"Oh really? When you find yourself losing a debate, you resort to moral coercion?

You've picked the wrong person. Of all things, I lack virtues, so without morality, you can try to blackmail me all you want."

After speaking, noticing that many people were filming him, he instructed Gu Yi beside him, "Record these people. If any negative videos about me surface online, we'll just sue them."

Upon hearing Gu Bai's orders, Gu Yi immediately took his phone out to film all of them.

Immediately, many onlookers plotting to post Gu Bai online withdrew their phones.

This is the inherent flaw in the character of most people.

When it doesn't concern them, they can stand on moral high ground, criticizing everyone else since, no matter the outcome, it has nothing to do with them.

But when things actually threaten to affect them personally, they'll undoubtedly distance themselves at the first opportunity.

Even if they believe Gu Bai is only intimidating them, they dare not take the risk.

After all, it's easy to watch the show.

It becomes a challenge when personal interests are involved.

Gu Bai laughed disdainfully at these saintly illusioned individuals radiating with Buddha's light.
