Chapter 481: Mutual Probing

　　People were coming and going at the auto repair shop.

　　As soon as Hu Zi entered, the service staff, Xiao Li, welcomed him warmly.

　　"Boss Lu, you're finally here. Mr. Lei has been waiting for a long time."

　　"Mm."

　　With his hands in his pockets, Hu Zi nodded faintly.

　　With an air of a boss.

　　Hu Zi handled the car repairs, but left Lu Fei's number. The people at the auto shop thought Hu Zi was Boss Lu.

　　"This way, please."

　　Little Li invited Hu Zi to the VIP lounge.

　　There were few people there, except for an elderly cleaner and a slightly plump man sitting at a table by the window.

　　"Mr. Lei, Boss Lu is here."

　　Little Li approached with a smile. The man slowly turned around, revealing an especially unfamiliar face.

　　"So, you're the one who wants to buy my Mercedes?"

　　Hu Zi carefully observed the man, certain he had never seen him before.

　　This man appeared to be in his fifties, with a weathered look in his eyes, but his skin was extremely tight, without a single wrinkle, let alone a scar.

　　Appearing both old and young.

　　"You are Boss Lu?" He was also sizing up Hu Zi, his eyes revealing a slight surprise, "So, Boss Lu is so young, truly a promising young man."

　　"Hahaha, just so-so!" Hu Zi waved his hand modestly, "Do you really want to buy a car?"

　　"Of course! I'm quite nostalgic and prefer these old cars. I've already looked at the car, and if Boss Lu is willing to part with it, I'll pay any price." Mr. Lei's wrinkle-free face broke into a generous smile.

　　"Below this number, there's no discussion."

　　Hu Zi tentatively extended three fingers.

　　"Three hundred thousand, no problem!"

　　To his surprise, Mr. Lei readily agreed.

　　"So straightforward?!"

　　Hu Zi was quite astonished.

　　The boss hasn't announced the news about the salvaged car. Who would spend a lot of money on a used car that's been in an accident? Could it be that this person is an expert and can see through it?

　　"I have only one request." Mr. Lei's smile widened.

　　"What request?"

　　"I want to take a test drive first. As long as there's nothing wrong with the car, I'll pay immediately."

　　"You won't just drive off with my car, will you?" Hu子 opened his eyes wide.

　　Mr. Lei laughed: "Boss Lu is indeed cautious! If you are not at ease, you can come along. Once the test drive is successful, I will pay right away!"

　　"Boss Lu, this price for a used car is reasonable. Mr. Lei is so straightforward. Why are you hesitating? I'll bring the car out for a test drive right now."

　　Little Li, brimming with excitement, drove the secondhand Mercedes out of the repair shop.

　　Mr. Lei enthusiastically pulled Hu子 into the car. Hu子 felt that although this man looked rough, his hands were surprisingly soft, like a woman's.

　　However.

　　The big car drove out of the repair shop, heading towards the suburbs. Even after leaving the city, it was still Xiao Li who was driving.

　　Mr. Lei sat in the back, motionless.

　　There was no intention for them to switch places at all.

　　"Mr. Lei, weren't you going to test drive the car? Why aren't you driving?" Hu Zi wondered silently.

　　"I mainly wanted to check the car. If the car is fine, it doesn't matter who drives it."

　　Mr. Lei's smile was oddly strange.

　　Wasn't it clear that there was a problem?

　　Hu Zi was on edge, occasionally sneaking glances out the window. He felt a bit more at ease when he saw a black SUV following at a distance.

　　The big car drove into a remote alley in the suburbs.

　　Most of the buildings around were abandoned, and only an extremely dilapidated barbershop on the street was still open.

　　"Mr. Lei, we're here." Xiao Li parked the car and greeted Mr. Lei with a ingratiating smile.

　　"You've worked hard. I'll take it from here and discuss the deal slowly with Boss Lu."

　　Mr. Lei threw him a stack of money, and he ran off cheerfully with it.

　　"Mr. Lei, what do you mean by this?" Hu Zi frowned in dissatisfaction.

　　Even if he were a fool, he could tell something was amiss here.

　　"This is really a good car."

　　Mr. Lei stroked the used Mercedes lovingly with his smooth hands.

　　"What a pity, you ruined it!"

　　"Isn't it fixed now? Are you going to buy the car or not? If not, I'm going home. I have a lot of business waiting for me." Hu Zi reached for the car door, but Mr. Lei blocked him.

　　"Buy, of course I will buy! Let's ask Boss Lu to give me a haircut, and we can talk inside. How about that?"

　　Huzi frowned at him, folding his arms, the muscles on his arms bulging.

　　"Fine, let's talk!"

　　"Please!"

　　Mr. Lei pushed open the door of the barbershop, a puff of hot air hit him in the face.

　　"All of you, get out!"

　　There was an old barber inside washing someone's hair. Mr. Lei's shout scared all the customers away, leaving only two or three tough-looking men behind.

　　"You guys..." The old barber shrank his neck in fright.

　　"Master Mao, this is my esteemed guest, give him a proper haircut! If the esteemed guest isn't satisfied, you can forget about keeping this shop open!"

　　Mr. Lei picked up a razor from the counter and coldly toyed with it in his hand.

　　The light in the small shop was already dim; the three tough-looking men drew the curtains and closed the door.

　　The shop was lit only by a dim hanging lamp, making the atmosphere extremely gloomy.

　　The three burly men gathered around Mr. Lei, their faces cold.

　　Huzi looked around and noticed that none of these people had scars on their faces.

　　"It is..."

　　The old master, wearing arm protectors, tremblingly approached Huzi.

　　"My hairstyle is awesome; I don't need a haircut! Old Master, don't be afraid," Huzi stepped forward, shielding the old master behind him, "You guys invited me from far away, but you have ill intentions. Don't think I can't see through it!"

　　"Then, you better answer my questions honestly!"

　　Mr. Lei played with the razor, his eyes immediately turning cold.

　　"Where is the real Boss Lu?"

　　Huzi was startled but still calmly replied, "I'm not changing my name or identity, I am Boss Lu! If you have something to say, just spit it out!"

　　"I hate liars the most!"

　　As soon as Mr. Lei spoke, the three burly men immediately charged at Huzi with ill intent.

　　"Well, then I won't be polite, Grandpa!"

　　As the men approached, Huzi clenched his fists, a look of excitement on his face.

　　Hook punch.

　　Split kick.

　　Elbow strike.

　　The three men fell to the ground, one by one, clutching their arms and legs, howling in pain.

　　But Mr. Lei's expression showed no sign of anxiety; instead, he wore a disdainful smile.

　　"Just a brute. There's no way he could break my Qi Absorption Technique!"

　　"What kind of suction luck technique?"

　　Huzi was taken aback for a moment and then reacted, his eyes wide open.

　　"So the alluring ghost in the car was your doing? You're not even dead!"

　　"The one who died was just a useless thing!"

　　Mr. Lei gave a cold smile, opening his palm, from which half a blood-soaked face skin floated up.

　　Huzi's expression changed dramatically.

　　It was precisely the skin of the woman of the night that had once been hidden under the car.

　　At that time, the suction luck technique had been cracked by Lu Fei, and the woman of the night went to take revenge on the one who had caused her death. The person resisted, wanting to engage in a magical battle with the boss, but the boss retaliated by sending him a hemp-draped mourning calamity.

　　That person died, but he still had accomplices!

　　No wonder they could track down the boss through the car.

　　"Boss, I know what's going on!"

　　Before Huzi could rejoice in his own cleverness, that bloody face, filled with intense resentment, came charging at him.
