Before Chen Xiao could respond, Yang Xiaoyong signaled the other security guards present to surround the Maserati. He paused, then said with an air of certainty, "This car is clearly the exclusive vehicle of the richest man Song's daughter. It enters and exits our community every few days. Do you have the guts to claim it's rented? Aren't you afraid I'll call the police and have you arrested?"
"What?" Chen Mingxi's face turned pale with fright. She said nervously, "Brother, what's going on? Did you steal this car?"
"You little brat, don't you know my character?" Chen Xiao chuckled helplessly and patiently explained to Yang Xiaoyong, "This car was actually lent to me by Song Yan. If you don't believe me, I can call her right now to confirm..."
"Pfft—" Before Chen Xiao could finish, a security guard next to Yang Xiaoyong couldn't help but burst into laughter. "Kid, who do you think you are? Why would the dignified Miss Song lend you her car?"
Another security guard chimed in with disdain, "As everyone knows, Song Yan's car never allows male passengers. Even her boyfriend Ye Qingtian doesn't have the privilege of getting in. Are you telling me you're even more amazing than Young Master Ye?"
With his companions backing him up, Yang Xiaoyong became even more aggressive. He shoved his hand into the car door and yanked Chen Xiao, saying sinisterly, "Car thief, stop making excuses and get out of the car to confess." He was so excited at the thought of not only easily earning a five hundred yuan reward from Xie Dan but also accidentally catching a thief who stole Song Yan's luxury car, and potentially even receiving Song Yan's personal thanks, that his face turned red and his hand trembled as he pulled at Chen Xiao.
Chen Xiao was furious and unceremoniously pushed away Yang Xiaoyong's hand. "Are all the security guards at Swan Lake Community brainless? If I were really a car thief, would I be stupid enough to drive a stolen car around so conspicuously? I was originally going to call Song Yan in front of you to clarify the misunderstanding, but now it seems completely unnecessary!"
Yang Xiaoyong was clearly taken aback that the seemingly frail Chen Xiao had easily pushed him back, causing him to stumble. Both shocked and angry, he abruptly pulled out the rubber baton from his waist. "Kid, you've got some moves. I only suspected you before, but now I'm one hundred percent sure you're a car thief! I'm warning you one last time, get out of the car immediately and explain your illegal car theft. Otherwise, don't blame me for using force!" As he finished speaking, the other security guards also menacingly pulled out their rubber riot batons.
Although Chen Mingxi in the passenger seat was terrified by the scene, she resolutely said, "You security guards are too wicked. My brother already said the car was borrowed, why are you still not letting him go? Is it just because my aunt called you and gave you red envelopes?"
"Hmm?" Chen Xiao raised an eyebrow and glared at Yang Xiaoyong. "Did Xie Dan ask you to deal with me?"
Yang Xiaoyong didn't hide anything and said with a mocking smile, "Ms. Xie Dan is a resident of our Swan Lake Community. Is there anything wrong with me listening to her? If you were willing to spend a few million to buy a house here in Swan Lake, I'd treat you like an ancestor. Why would I suspect you of stealing a car? However, you probably couldn't afford a toilet in Swan Lake even if you worked your whole life, right? Heh heh."
Chen Xiao, repeatedly humiliated by Yang Xiaoyong, simply took out the property deeds that Gou Shunfang and Liu Zihao had begged to give him and slammed them fiercely at Yang Xiaoyong's face. "You blind idiot who judges people by their appearance! What's a mere mortgaged 'pigeon coop' worth? Open your dog eyes and take a good look. Am I not an owner in the Swan Lake villa complex!"
