After confirming that he and the others were finally safe, Wu Yin was the first to issue a soul torture.
Although she has been studying in America for more than two years, this is the first time she has encountered something like this.
The same goes for Qu Rui, who was so frightened that he almost peed his pants just now. Wu Yin's question was his question.
Faced with the confused and scared expressions of the two people, as well as Wu Yin's Mandarin inquiry, Chen Feng still opened his mouth to answer: "They originally wanted to come close to rob, especially Qu Rui, who was driving a BMW, was their target, but in the end he
If we wanted to run away, of course they would shoot to try to prevent us from escaping."
"Just because you want to rob us?"
Wu Yin was still a little unbelievable.
Qu Rui also asked doubtfully: "Why are they so brave? If they fail to rob, they will just shoot. Aren't they afraid of killing people?"
Chen Feng shook his head and said: "This is your thinking and thoughts. Never use your own ideology, morality and IQ to measure these criminals, especially criminals who look like slums at first glance. Sometimes they may be just because of you."
If you look at him one more time while walking, he will shoot you."
Wu Yin said with more sincerity: "I finally understand now that a local senior at the same school warned me not to stay in the residential communities in this area. What he meant was that the residential communities near the school are almost slums.
There are many criminals and bad guys here. As a girl, I don’t want to hang out or stay here.”
Qu Rui regained his composure a little at this time, and said with some curse: "There is actually a slum area near our school, and there are so many criminals. Shooting at people in broad daylight is simply crazy."
Chen Feng ignored the frightened two people and just said to Brina: "As soon as you drive out of this block, stop the car and call the police."
Brianna, who was driving, agreed.
Because of her previous parking experience, Brina obviously didn't dare to park in the residential community here anymore, at least until she got to an open area.
Chen Feng could call the police himself, but he is a foreigner after all. Even if the local police accept the case, they may not take it seriously unless they alert the consulate.
"Yes, call the police. We will call the police immediately."
"Yes, my car is still parked there, with my backpack and some personal belongings in it."
Wu Yin and Qu Rui finally realized the problem and immediately took out their mobile phones to call the police.
Chen Feng didn't stop him.
They were shot, and the car was likely to be snatched away by those two people. Of course, the sooner the police were called, the better. In addition, the identities of the two USC students would attract more attention from the police.
The two called the police separately, and by the time they finished speaking, Brina's car finally drove out of the neighborhood and stopped on the side of the road in an open area.
"Should I call the police?" Brina turned around and asked.
Chen Feng nodded and said: "You should report it too, after all, your car was also hit by a bullet."
"Okay, I'll call the police right away."
Brina also called the police.
After that, the two of them waited on the roadside for the police to come.
Almost ten minutes later, a police car drove over and stopped next to their car.
After confirming the identity of the caller on their side, Brina turned the car around and drove towards the scene of the shooting, with the police car following closely behind.
Soon they returned to the scene of the incident.
Fortunately, the second-hand BMW was still there. Unfortunately, the front windshield was shattered, the driver's window was also shattered, and everything of value in the car was looted, including Qu Rui's bag.
bag and some personal belongings.
The financial loss was not huge, but the bag contained various documents of his, and it was very troublesome to get replacements. The most valuable thing in his bag was a laptop he bought three years ago. It was worth more than 8,000 yuan three years ago. Now it is
It was probably only worth three to four thousand, but it was enough to make Qu Rui feel distressed.
The four people on Chen Feng's side made notes with the police on the spot, and the police also took photos on the spot to collect evidence.
It took almost an hour to finish.
After that, of course the four of them had no interest in going to Hollywood anymore.
Especially Qu Rui, he suffered heavy losses today. He bought his second-hand BMW only three or four months ago, and now it needs to be repaired. His laptop was robbed, and he will definitely have to buy a new one for professional needs. These are all
money.
In order to save some money for towing, Qu Rui shamelessly asked Brina for help and took his second-hand BMW to a repair shop.
Of course Brina readily agreed to this request, and Chen Feng did not refuse.
This time Qu Rui, Wu Yin and the others were shot, Chen Feng thought it was him.
He had doubts about his Conan physique before, but after encountering another shooting incident today, his previous doubts were of course gone.
He does have a physique similar to that of Conan, at least in America. Criminal cases will occur wherever he goes.
This is really a very bad experience!
When he couldn't change the situation, he could only try to accept it.
At least so far, the few times he has encountered danger, he has had no accidents and has not even scratched his skin.
But this time he felt that he had implicated Qu Rui and Wu Yin, and he felt somewhat sorry.
There was a tow rope in the trunk of Brina's car. After tying Qu Rui's second-hand BMW, she headed to the repair shop.
She found the nearest auto repair shop, and as a local, Brina generously helped negotiate the price, but even so, the minimum repair fee was more than 1,200 US dollars, and insurance was not available.
According to Qu Rui, when he bought the second-hand car, it only cost more than 8,000 U.S. dollars. Now it costs more than 1,200 U.S. dollars to repair the car. It is not cost-effective no matter how you calculate it.
So, Chen Feng simply suggested that he stop repairing it and sell it directly to the second-hand car market for a lower-profile car.
Qu Rui's second-hand BMW, although it is an old model, is still somewhat conspicuous when driving on the road. Especially for those who don't know much about cars, they will subconsciously think that the owner of the car is a wealthy person.
Here in America, if you drive a BMW with an Asian face, you will obviously attract the covetous attention of some criminals.
For example, today, the BMW car may have played a big role in why the two African-American men on the other side wanted to attack him. They may have thought that the person driving the car was rich, so they wanted to rob him.
Chen Feng told Qu Rui his guess, and Qu Rui turned pale and nodded in agreement.
The main reason why he bought this second-hand BMW before was of course for transportation, but another important factor was to show off. After all, BMW represents luxury cars, and to a certain extent, it also represents wealth, both at home and abroad.
But obviously he can show off his wealth like this in China and no one will shoot him, but this is not the case here in America. Someone will really shoot you.
Another thing to note is that this car has certain quality problems. Otherwise, how could it suddenly stall on the road?
After all, he bought this car not long ago and he hadn't driven it much before.
Therefore, it is well-founded to go to the original second-hand car store to discuss returns and exchanges.
Qu Rui followed Chen Feng's suggestion and simply stopped repairing the car. Brina drove the second-hand BMW to a second-hand car store again.
It was not far from the car repair shop, and they arrived in about ten minutes. The four of them got off the car and went there together. Brina, a local, helped explain that because the second-hand BMW suddenly stalled on the road, they almost encountered an armed robbery.
Life is not guaranteed.
The owner of the second-hand car shop obviously felt guilty. After a few excuses, he agreed to the return and exchange, and the damage and repair costs were only two thousand dollars, which was really fair. After all, Qu Rui opened the car.
It's been three or four months.
With the advice and advice of Chen Feng and others, Qu Rui finally bought a low-key Chevrolet, the same brand as Brina's car.
After the test drive of Qu Rui, I was quite satisfied with it, so I made the decision. In terms of price, Qu Rui had to pay more than US$500.
Chen Feng generously offered to pay for him, but Qu Rui refused sternly and he paid for it himself.
After coming out of the second-hand car store, Qu Rui said that he would invite Chen Feng to a regular restaurant to thank him for his life-saving grace.
Chen Feng knew that he was short of money, so of course he firmly refused.
Along the way, Chen Feng got to know the two international students better. For example, Qu Rui came here to study for a master's degree in electronic engineering. His parents were both civil servants. They were not very rich, but they were definitely well-off.
But his parents' income could only support his basic expenses for studying abroad, so he worked part-time here and worked as a tutor every weekend, so he bought that second-hand BMW.
Wu Yin's family is even more ordinary. His father is a carpenter, his mother is a housewife, and there is a younger brother in college. The family's economic conditions are much worse than Qu Rui's.
The reason why she was able to study here was because she had good academic performance and applied for a full scholarship here. In addition, she also worked part-time and often took Qu Rui's car to work as a tutor. She was also in school.
I did some part-time work such as handing out flyers.
Therefore, to be honest, it is not easy for these two international students to study here. It is much more difficult than those rich second-generation international students from China.
Chen Feng wanted to help them casually, but giving money directly would not work, and it would hurt their self-esteem. Chen Feng did not like giving money to people for no reason.
Especially after Qu Rui refused his help to pay for the car purchase of more than 500 US dollars, Chen Feng appreciated him more.
Therefore, before the two parties got in the car and separated, Chen Feng took the initiative to tell them that he would stay in Los Angeles for a few days. If they needed any help, just tell him and I would definitely help them if they could.
Both of them knew that Chen Feng was a big boss and very rich, but they didn't think Chen Feng was bragging, so they both agreed happily and expressed their gratitude at the same time.
On the way back, Wu Yin got into Qu Rui's car, and they drove back to school together, driving in front.
Brina and Chen Feng's cars followed behind.
The two cars walked together for a while, and before they separated at an intersection, they lowered their car windows and waved goodbye.
Chen Feng had a good impression of the two international students from China, so he asked Brina who was driving: "Lina, do you have any connections at school to help them find high-paying part-time jobs?"
After thinking for a while, Brina said: "I'm not very familiar with the part-time jobs in school. However, if they want a high-paying part-time job, they can go to my dad's law firm. They can earn five or six thousand a month by running errands."
U.S. dollars. It’s just that their major seems a little inappropriate, and they may not be interested.”
"With such a high salary, how can you not be interested? But is what you said reliable? Can you earn such a high salary by running errands or working part-time?"
Brina explained: "My dad's law firm often has to send some materials to specific people, or have special people to get some materials needed by the company. Sometimes when the business is busy, there is not enough manpower, so we have to find someone.
Reliable part-time workers. Sometimes these part-time workers have to deliver or pick up more than a dozen materials a day and go to different places, which is a bit tiring."
Chen Feng said: "After you go back, take the time to talk to them. If they are interested, you can indeed introduce them to your dad's part-time job. After all, the income is high, and it should be easier than being a tutor."
"Okay, I will contact Jennifer (Wu Yin) when I get back and tell her."
After Brina agreed, she asked curiously: "How do I think you care about them?"
After Chen Feng thought about it, he told the truth: "I feel like I haven't been very lucky since I came to America this time. I encountered two robberies and two shootings in a row. I suspect that they were involved in the shooting this time.
It’s because of my bad luck.”
"This... shouldn't be right?" Brina was also a little unsure, "Maybe it's because the crime rate in California is relatively high. Well, maybe you haven't been very lucky these past two days, but it's definitely not you who implicated them.
.Maybe they escaped a disaster this time they met you."
After hearing what she said, Chen Feng thought about it carefully and realized that it was really possible. After all, although he had encountered danger several times here, he had managed to avoid danger every time.
If he hadn't met Qu Rui today, Qu Rui might have encountered such a dangerous situation one day while driving his second-hand BMW with quality issues, but without him by his side to help save him.
, he may not be able to escape.
Seeing that Chen Feng didn't speak, Brina added: "Our school is near urban communities with low economic income, and the crime rate in these communities is very high. All the teachers and students in our school know this, so basically no one
They would hang out in nearby community streets. Especially for Asian students like them, they were not allowed to wander on these community streets.
Also, you were right before. He, an Asian student, drives a BMW here at the University of Southern California. He is indeed a bit high-profile and can easily be targeted. Even a second-hand car, costing more than $8,000, is actually relatively expensive.
That’s right. My new car only cost $13,000 when I bought it.”
Chen Feng said with a smile: "Anyway, after I go back this time, I don't plan to go out. I'll just stay in the hotel. I'll go back to San Diego in two days."
Brianna quickly said: "Then you should wait for three more days. That day happens to be Friday. I don't have class that afternoon, so I can drive you back to San Diego."
"Aren't you tired of driving back and forth like this?" Chen Feng asked a little funny.
"It's only a two-hour drive, why are you tired? The most important thing is to be able to stay with you and get along with you for a few more days. Don't you want this?"
