Getting Rejected Makes Me Stronger Chapter 35

The auntie hung up the phone and looked at Su Cheng smugly, saying, "You little beast, just wait. The police will be here soon, and you'll be in trouble."

"Sigh..."

Zhao Yan and the other two girls sighed, knowing the situation was beyond salvaging.

But this was Su Cheng's choice.

"Oh~"

Su Cheng, however, continued cracking sunflower seeds with a relaxed expression, seemingly unconcerned about what might happen.

This facade of putting up a strong front made the three girls feel inexplicably heartbroken.

Several minutes later

As everyone waited, seven or eight police officers arrived at the parking lot entrance. As soon as they entered, the auntie pointed at the damaged part of the car, shouting, "Officers, look!"

Then pointing at Su Cheng: "This little beast did it!"

"Ma'am, I'm giving you a serious warning. Please mind your language!"

One officer frowned and spoke sternly, clearly displeased with such slanderous words.

"I'm telling the truth!"

The auntie immediately responded, then pointed at Su Cheng again while telling the police: "Arrest him, arrest him quick!"

However, the police ignored her and instead followed procedure by examining the scene, questioning the involved parties, and then asking Su Cheng, who merely shook his head while cracking sunflower seeds, indicating he knew nothing about it.

"Haha, everyone look, he's denying it!"

The auntie laughed when she saw Su Cheng shake his head.

Zhao Yan and the other two girls, along with everyone else, looked at Su Cheng with confusion, not understanding what was happening.

But they didn't say anything.

"What's wrong with you? Child, just admit it!"

"Don't do anything foolish, with a good attitude, you might get a reduced sentence!"

"Yes, yes, you might get a lighter punishment."

"Just confess!"

People around them urged Su Cheng.

The driver furrowed her brow in thought, while Zhao Yan and Xuan Ying looked toward the female driver, hoping she could explain their confusion.

After all, they had been with Su Cheng the whole time and knew the true situation better than anyone.

Just then, several more police officers arrived at the entrance. After carefully observing everyone at the scene and focusing their attention on the auntie, they said something to the other officers, who then walked toward her.

"What are you doing? Arrest him!"

The auntie shouted when she saw the officers approaching her.

The officers came up to her, showed their badges, and spoke words that astonished everyone present.

"According to the apartment's surveillance footage, you're suspected of intentionally damaging others' property. Please come with us to assist in our investigation and cooperate with our work!"

"What?!"

"How is this possible?!"

"So it was the auntie who did it!!"

"What's going on here?"

Following the officer's words, the onlookers burst into exclamations, their faces filled with shock and confusion.

They couldn't believe what they had just heard.

It was absolutely inconceivable.

Especially the driver and Zhao Yan's group - their jaws dropped so low they could've fit an egg in their mouths, their eyes wide open in a ghostly expression.

How could this be possible?

What exactly had happened?

Why did things turn out this way?

What was the hidden truth?

What was really going on here?!

The three of them had been with Su Cheng the whole time.

Now they were questioning their very existence.

Their minds were racing, their mental CPUs nearly burning out.

But they just couldn't make sense of it.

What the hell was going on?!

What exactly had Su Cheng done?!

This was just too bizarre!

"How is this possible... am I dreaming?!"

The car owner stood dumbfounded upon hearing this, unconsciously pinching his arm, only believing it was real when he felt the pain.

The auntie stood there stunned, saying in disbelief: "I didn't do it, you're wrongly accusing me!"

"We've already collected the evidence. You must come with us now to assist in the investigation!"

An officer said coldly.

"You're talking nonsense, this boy clearly damaged the car deliberately!"

The auntie pushed the police officer away, shouting: "You're fake police, fake police, you must be fake police."

"Ma'am, please mind your behavior. We are law enforcement, here's our identification!"

A young male officer held up his badge, speaking seriously.

"Help! These people are pretending to be police, they're falsely accusing me!"

The auntie, acting unreasonably, pushed another officer away and lay on the ground throwing a tantrum: "Come on, hit me if you dare! Just kill me! When the real police arrive, you'll all be arrested!"

The officers immediately pinned the auntie to the ground and handcuffed her hands and feet, preventing the crazy woman from moving around.

Meanwhile, Su Cheng had leisurely moved into the crowd, still cracking sunflower seeds, while people around him looked at him as if they'd seen a ghost.

He had positioned himself right next to Zhao Yan's group, making the two girls lower their heads, afraid of being recognized.

While looking down, Xuan Ying suddenly heard Su Cheng's voice from beside her: "This person clearly has senile dementia, yet she insisted on calling the police and saying I did it. It's just ridiculous."

The crowd immediately burst into commotion.

All the onlookers had the same thought: "So this auntie has senile dementia?"

"That's impossible."

Zhao Yan and the driver shook their heads simultaneously, after all, the lock on the car was identical to the one Su Cheng had just bought!

"Want some sunflower seeds?"

Just then, Xuan Ying, who was keeping her head down, suddenly heard Su Cheng's voice, and a pale hand holding sunflower seeds appeared before her.

She was startled and quickly shook her head to decline.

"Oh~"

The driver turned to look at Su Cheng beside her, who continued cracking seeds like any other spectator.

"You little beast, you actually got people to pretend to be police, how dare you aaaaah!"

The auntie suddenly screamed from the ground: "Someone call the real police, arrest these fake officers!"

But no one responded.

Instead, Su Cheng put on an innocent expression and said: "Auntie, how could you deliberately damage someone's car? Ptui~"

He spat a seed shell into his hand as he spoke, then looked at the auntie with an innocent expression.

The auntie trembled with rage.

The driver's mouth twitched watching this scene.

"By the way, you could try to get the car owner's understanding. I think you must have been so angry with me earlier that you got confused and thought this was my car!"

Su Cheng said, pointing at the car.

Some people in the crowd suddenly had a moment of realization.

However, Zhao Yan and her two companions didn't believe this explanation, as the lock was clearly the one Su Cheng had bought himself.

"Take her to the hospital first!"

One of the officers spoke up.

"What hospital? I don't have senile dementia!"

"The surveillance footage shows you swallowed the lock key!"

One of the officers showed her the footage on a tablet.

Upon hearing this, the crowd drew in a sharp breath. And she still claimed she didn't have dementia?

"That's impossible, I would never do something so stupid!"

The auntie continued shouting, desperately trying to deny it, but her face turned pale when she saw herself in the surveillance footage.

"Auntie, you're so close with the car owner, why don't you just talk it out with him?"

The clever Su Cheng spoke again, appearing thoughtful.

"Yes, Little Chen, quick, talk to the police!"

The car owner, whom he called Little Chen, was currently communicating something with the police. Upon hearing this, his body trembled, and he quickly turned away, pretending he hadn't heard!

Seeing this, the auntie began screaming hysterically: "You ungrateful wretch! If you hadn't occupied someone else's parking space, none of this would have happened! You despicable person, specifically getting me to help you bully this little beast! It's all your fault, all your fault, you shameless thing, may you die a horrible death, aaaaah!"

As these words fell, the atmosphere in the underground parking lot grew silent again. Although everyone had their suspicions, having such things brought out into the open was completely different.

"Don't listen to this senile woman's nonsense, she's mentally ill! Look, this crazy woman damaged my car!"

Little Chen, panic-stricken, hurried to explain.

"Who doesn't know what you're up to? Don't deny it, you scoundrel! I'm going to report you for rape, I'm going to report you for raping me! The police should arrest him right now!"

"You really don't know how to pick your battles, do you?"

Su Cheng suddenly spoke up.

"Haha."

"Disgusting."

"Tsk tsk."

As Su Cheng spoke, laughter erupted from the crowd, and some even showed expressions of disgust and loathing.

"What are you babbling about? You're a sixty-something-year-old granny, who would even want to rape you? I'm warning you not to talk nonsense, or I'll sue you for slander!"

Little Chen's face turned red with anger as he pointed at Auntie and shouted.

"Yesterday you called me Sweetie, and today you call me Granny!"

Auntie continued to curse.

"What a move—the enemy is clear, but allies are undecided. Incite allies to kill the enemy, without exerting one's own strength."

The Driver turned to look at Su Cheng, who was munching on melon seeds, and thought to himself.

"Looks like an innocent young man, but in reality, a cunning old fox!

From this incident, it's clear that the blade is sharp, and the wielder is steady, but there's a conflict between the blade and the wielder.

Su Cheng spotted the conflict of interest between the blade and the wielder, inciting their conflict with words, effortlessly causing Little Chen to be socially dead, and finally reaping the benefits as both sides suffered.

He got away with thirty-six thousand.

Besides wisdom, the key is his mysterious abilities.

He can't figure out how such an eerie thing could happen.

If Su Cheng had bribed Auntie, the cost would have been too high.

But from Auntie's performance just now, she seemed completely unaware.

Even a top actor couldn't pull off such a performance.

Let alone someone with Auntie's obviously low intelligence.

Did he exploit Auntie's dementia?

But that doesn't make any sense, how could it be predicted and controlled?

Could he be some kind of god or monster?

How did he manage to get Auntie to lock the car.

And swallow the key?

Even the police couldn't find any clues about him.

The Driver was now caught in a whirlwind of thoughts, various scenarios flashing before her eyes, but her mind was too chaotic to make sense of it.

Meanwhile, Xuan Ying and Zhao Yan kept their heads down, very quiet, but their hearts were in turmoil, like a boulder had crashed into their chests, making it hard to breathe.

If their previous revenge had brought them joy and relief, then now, knowing everything, they only felt terror.

Especially when they remembered how they had cursed at Su Cheng, who had remained silent with his head down, just like before.

Now they wondered if he had been...

Thinking of this, Zhao Yan felt more fortunate, luckily they had apologized, otherwise, they might have been played to death by this seemingly harmless young man.

The unknown always instills fear and dread!

And just as they were in turmoil, Su Cheng's words floated lightly into their ears.

"I was wondering why the lock on the door was gone when I came back from the bathroom, turns out it was stolen by this dementia patient."

With those words, they noticed Su Cheng had left, and they breathed a sigh of relief, cautiously lifting their heads.

……………………

After Su Cheng left, before going, he glanced at Little Chen, who seemed to have noticed his gaze. In that instant of eye contact, Su Cheng mouthed three words: "Don't worry!"

Little Chen's face changed, his eyes showing a hint of panic, and he took a few steps back, instinctively hiding behind the police.

He had originally thought it was just Auntie's dementia acting up, but now he seemed to realize something!

And the property manager who witnessed this scene couldn't help but feel fear. He knew if Su Cheng wanted to retaliate...

Thinking of this, the property leader felt a wave of anxiety, hoping that his earlier show of goodwill would appease Su Cheng and prevent any further trouble.

……………………

"So that's how it is."

"The lock was stolen by that crazy old lady!"

"But, it's good, Su Cheng is fine."

"Yes, that's great!"

The two girls lifted their heads after Su Cheng left, thinking about his parting words, and suddenly understood, smiling with relief.

However, the Driver didn't think so. The perfume on the two girls was unusually strong and distinctive, something one could recognize if they had encountered it before.

So, Su Cheng's words were clearly meant for these two girls, and yet they believed it.

But she didn't plan to point it out, seeing how relieved and happy they were, wasn't that good enough?

"It's a pity those who bullied Su Cheng before got away with it."

Xuan Ying sighed with regret: "And that nasty property manager too, I really hope they all get caught."

"Don't worry, this isn't over yet!"

"What do you mean?"

"Let Wang Guancong's anger simmer a bit longer."

Zhao Yan revealed a sly smile: "This time, everyone who bullied Su Cheng won't get away!"
