Chapter 364 - The Front Gate Is Blocked

Translator: lav

Editor: SSins

The opposite side was reasonable as they said that they already notified the security guards that they were going out to pick up the bride. Whether it was the entrance or the exit, they were going to lift the bar up and let them drive out together.

It was strange. Logically speaking, the lead car of the fleet shouldn't have been reasonable as people usually drove in from this entrance. Who knew that you communicated with the guards? And you can't not allow other cars to enter just because you are getting married, can you? Don't you deserve it if you drive forward without caring about anything when it's an entrance?

Shi Lei looked at the car and it wasn't damaged badly. They were at the entrance and they weren't driving as fast. However, this car definitely couldn't be the lead car anymore as the front was distorted. The flower basket at the front was also scattered on the floor.

The car wasn't bad. It was a BMW New Seven, but it should be a 730, a bit over a million with the best accessories.

The argument now was that the opposite side talked to the management team. They beeped like crazy when they saw this car entering, but they still crashed and they wanted compensation.

As for the car on this side, they were driving slowly into the usual entrance. The opposite side was driving the wrong direction. Why did they need to compensate for that? The opposite side should take full responsibility.

Hence, both sides began to fight. The opposite side was quite interesting as they clamoured that they were delaying his wedding ceremony and that this car had to compensate for all the losses.

The friends and relatives of both sides joined the fight and everyone argued continuously.

There were people who tried to be peacemakers, but the BMW side was too arrogant. They even said that they'll beat up whoever tried to butt into their business. As they spoke, they began to push people around.

According to a bystander, the groom's father worked for the city's government. He was arrogant when he was hanging out around the area and now that an incident happened on his son's wedding day, he wasn't willing to let it go so easily.

Shi Lei was speechless. There were all kinds of people in the world. How dare an ordinary staff for the government be so arrogant? The reason why Shi Lei knew that this man was only part of the ordinary staff for the government was because he didn't live in the residential area provided by the government. He lived in a district prepared for reallocation of people who had their houses demolished. Obviously, he didn't have a high position in the government.

After all, it was other people's business and Shi Lei couldn't butt into it.

He returned to his car in silence and called his second uncle.

His second uncle didn't seem to know what was happening here. He thought that Shi Lei couldn't find the specific building when he saw Shi Lei's call. He smiled, "Shitou, you are here? Where are you, I'll pick you up."

"Uncle, I've been here for a while, but the entrance is blocked. Is there any other entrance which I can drive through?"

"Huh? It's blocked? What happened? Wait, let me ask…"

Quickly, his second uncle spoke again, "They only have one entrance for cars here. The others are all safety entrances and exits. They only allowed people in, not cars. Their family is also at the entrance right now. I think something happened. Aiya, is it blocked because something happened to their family? Shitou, where are you now? Your aunt and I are coming to find you."

"I'm sitting in the car on the side opposite of the entrance.

"Ok, we'll be there soon." His second uncle quickly hung up, went downstairs with his second aunt and headed straight for the entrance.

They could see a crowd blocking the entrance from afar. They went over and it was really his second uncle's relative. He was apologising non-stop, but the opposite side demanded an exorbitant price, demanding the relative to give them a red pocket of 99,999 yuan before letting them go for compensation and for delaying the big day for them.

Shi Lei's second uncle didn't have too much time to ask. He quickly greeted his relative and squeezed out of the entrance.

Shi Lei's car was parked on the other side of the road and they saw it at first glance. When his second uncle and second aunt came out, Shi Lei also saw them through the car's window.

Shi Lei opened the door, waved at them and quickly walked over to them.

Shi Lei recounted what he heard to his second aunt and uncle. His second aunt sighed, "Ah, my cousin was apologising non stop when I came out with your uncle and he was willing to compensate. But the other side didn't want to let him go. Besides the money for fixing the car, they intentionally damaged my cousin's lead car. Because his son's wedding is delayed, he now want to scam a 99,999 yuan pocket to end this. My cousin isn't rich in the first place. For the sake of the marriage, they paid loans to buy a house and even the furnishings were paid by the bride's side. The wedding ceremony is another big sum of money. Forget 100,000 yuan. They barely have 10,000 yuan right now. They can take part of the guests' red pockets for fixing the car and they already started doing that. But 100,000 yuan… Ah..."

Shi Lei didn't know what to do either, "Well, we can call the police if that's the case."

"What's the point of calling the police? He's from the government. Although he's only a driver, he has connections in all areas. The chief of the nearby police station is his buddy for drinking and eating. When he comes, it will only result in a negotiation. But if it takes so long, how are they going to get married?!"

His second aunt looked at Shi Lei and suddenly spoke, "Shitou, you solved your family's problem last time. Do you have friends in the city with connections? Can you ask your friends? No matter what, both families should marry first. It's such a good day but they are blocked at the entrance…"

After a moment of thought, Shi Lei replied, "Aunt, uncle, don't panic, let me make a call first."

Shi Lei took out his phone as he spoke. He had the numbers of some authorised people in the city like Wang Hua'an who was the second in command of the city bureau, the mayor's secretary Xu Dami, and Bai Yuan who was the vice mayor. But Shi Lei felt bad to bother them with such a small incident.

He could only ask Hu Xiaohua or Jiang Yuanchao.

After a moment of hesitation, Shi Lei called Jiang Yuanchao.

"Shi Lei? Why are you calling me so early? Is something up?" Jiang Yuanchao was obviously sleeping as he sounded sleepy. If it wasn't from Shi Lei, he may not have picked up at all.

Shi Lei sighed, "A kid of my relative is marrying today. They liked my car and borrowed it from me. I drove it over but the entrance is blocked…"

He briefly recounted the incident and Jiang Yuanchao laughed loudly, "Why are you bothering with a driver from the city's government? Just call Bai Yuan, Vice Mayor Bai and he will fire that idiotic driver on the spot!"

"I don't want to bother the officials for something so small. Well, I wanted to see if you can…"

"Alright, don't worry about it. What's the location? I'll solve it for you."

Shi Lei told Jiang Yuanchao the address and he was even happier, "Ha, what a coincidence. I don't live far from there. I'm getting up now. I'll be there in three minutes."

After Jiang Yuanchao hung up, he called Hu Xiaohua and he changed, recounting Shi Lei's incident while laughing.

"Well, Xiaohua, forget if we didn't know about it. But since we know, let's solve this cleanly for Shi Lei."
