Chapter 1342: Meet That Bowl of Noodles Again
Normally, whenever Bian Mu encountered any problems, San Qiangzi would be the first to come and always consider the problem from Bian Mu's perspective, never caring about gains and losses. Even though it was his friend who encountered trouble today, San Qiangzi really just stood there and couldn't leave!
Of course, Bian Mu couldn't just stand by and watch, that would be too disloyal!

San Qiangzi's friend looked to be about 36 or 37 years old. His hair was a little bald, and it was shiny and greasy under the light of the street lamp. He was tall and dressed very casually. He was driving a domestic medium-sized van. The right front fender and headlight were completely damaged, and there were a lot of spare parts scattered on the ground.

The other party in the accident was driving a luxury SUV. The owner was a lady in her early thirties who didn't talk much. There was only a man in his twenties standing next to her, who also didn't talk much.

The luxury SUV is probably equipped with a technologically mature emergency avoidance device, so the damage to the front of the vehicle is much lighter. The corresponding headlights and fenders at the front left position suffered a certain degree of side collision, but the headlights were not completely damaged. In the opinion of an outsider like Bian Mu, it can be repaired, or parts can be replaced and redesigned. The fender is in a similar situation, and both minor and major repairs seem possible.

It was embarrassing now.

Bian Mu pulled San Qiangzi aside and asked quietly, "How much does the other party want now?"

"22000. The man said it couldn't be any less. If he hadn't seen that my friend didn't have much money, he would have paid it through public funds. He had no intention of arguing with the insurance company at all." After taking two puffs of his cigarette, San Qiangzi responded casually.

"How do you divide the responsibilities on this road? 30% to 70%? 40% to 60%?"

"My friend was driving a little fast. The man meant 4:6, 6 for us and 4 for them. Otherwise, they would just ask for more!" San Qiangzi responded with a smile.

"It seems that they are actually quite reasonable. I've heard Qi Yuewei say that for a car accident like this, if you go through the proper procedures, your friend will probably have to pay more than 8 yuan..." Having said that, Bian Mu glanced in the direction where the luxury SUV was parked.

"What?! Why... why do you have so much?" Halfway through his words, San Qiangzi realized that he had said something wrong and quickly changed his words.

"If I remember correctly... Lu Yisi also has a similar car. I don't know what it is either. I just looked around twice and it's pretty much the same. It's a new model and it's probably only been on the market for about half a year. After all the extras, I heard it cost seven or eight million!"

"No way?! Are you sure?" San Qiangzi was a little anxious.

"It's hard to observe things at night! The light... Anyway, I feel that there is not much difference. Let me put it this way, it's at least three million, there is no doubt about it, didn't you see it? The two people on the other side said very little and didn't seem unreasonable. In their eyes, more than 20,000 is already very considerate to us. With all the fuss, I'm afraid we will have to pay more! Otherwise... call Tao Wenjie to come and coordinate?! She is quite evil and has more ways than us!" As he spoke, Bian Mu suddenly thought of Tao Wenjie.

"Aren't you a little bit at odds with her?" San Qiangzi asked in surprise.

"It's okay! For her, this matter is as small as a rock. Others really don't have a good solution. There's nothing we can do! The new car and the price are there! No matter how we negotiate, we won't end up well. I just secretly observed for a while, and the man must have obtained first-hand evidence such as surveillance. If the stalemate continues, your friend will probably have to pay more, more than 20,000 yuan... If it doesn't work, can we pay in installments?"

"Oh! His wife is a cleaner and her salary is less than 3,000 yuan. They have two children who are both in school, and his father-in-law is still a patient. It costs them a lot of money. This time it is more than 20,000 yuan. This... is unbearable! The installment payment is also difficult!" San Qiangzi was scratching his head.

San Qiangzi already knew how smart Bian Mu was. Based on his experience walking on the streets, what Bian Mu said was probably the best solution at the moment.

The two of them were standing there discussing in low voices when Bian Mu noticed a car approaching silently and at a low speed, and stopped not far from the accident scene. With the lights shining and the street lamps flickering, he could vaguely see three people getting out of the car.

Bian Mu has very good ears. He can listen to the engine sound and observe the driver's driving habits. There is no doubt that it is a good car with excellent quality.

Most likely, the person coming is the other party's helper.

"It should be someone from the other side coming. Let's go and take a look!" As he said that, Bian Mu called San Qiangzi to walk towards the center of the incident.

As I was almost there, a graceful lady walked out from the crowd.

"Huh?! Why are you here too? That smoking driver is your friend, right?" Suo Yurong suddenly appeared and greeted him.

"Almost... I guess so! Was the driver who picked you up at the court gate that day the same one?" Bian Mu suddenly asked.

"Hehe... We're just ordinary friends. We just like to play with cars. Since we know each other, I can go over and help you coordinate?"

"Okay! We were just worrying about what to do! So... 22000 is not a lot, and the other party is quite kind. We have accepted it a long time ago, but... aren't the three of us poor? One person can't come up with so much money. Talk to your friend and ask if you can ask for less. If it can be repaired, don't replace parts. They mean % to %. For your sake, can you reduce it to % to %? The reason is that this is an accident-prone area and there is a problem with visibility. Both parties are victims. The driver's family is in a difficult situation. I'm not pretending to be poor!" Bian Mu trusts San Qiangzi. He believes whatever he says.

"He's just an ordinary friend. I don't have much face in front of him. I can pass on the message about your intention. As for whether the deal can be made, it depends on his luck." "Please, please!" Bian Mu quickly bowed and expressed his politeness.

With a slight smile, Suo Yurong turned around and returned to her "main team" to coordinate.

"Who is this sister? An actress, right?" San Qiangzi asked curiously as he approached Bian Mu.

"College classmates!"

"Damn it! People have to go to a good school so that they can rely on the help of classmates to get through some problems. Unlike me, I only associate with people who have no skills. I have been messing around in the past two years..." Having said this, he had almost finished his cigarette, so he threw it on the ground and crushed it with his foot. San Qiangzi said a few words in a huff.

Bian Mu smiled and said nothing.

After a while, Suo Yurong came back.

"Ten thousand! My friend said that for your sake, he will find a place to help the car owner repair the car, and you can save more money. However... he has a condition. I wonder if you can accept it?"

"Is there a patient in his family?" Bian Mu guessed quietly.

"Haha... almost. I've heard of your name for a long time, but I never knew you were so famous now! Since our school was founded, it seems that there has never been a celebrity like you!"

"No, no! Who are his relatives?"

"She didn't say anything specific. A woman, retired, got sick not long after eating a bowl of noodles from a small noodle shop on the street. She is still paralyzed in bed today! I asked her about it. She has a slight sense of consciousness and a certain swallowing consciousness. She can still eat through a gastric tube. Her weight has dropped to more than 80 kilograms. Her life is in danger at any time. Isn't this what happened? I wanted to ask you to go over and take a look. She said that even if she can't be cured, she will admit it!"

"The last sentence is what you meant, right?" Bian Mu responded with a smile.

Suo Yurong smiled and did not comment.

"Okay! That's it, Brother Qiangzi! You go over and talk to him, just tell the truth. If it really doesn't work, you lend him 5000 and I'll take 5000. He can pay us back when he has money!" Turning around, Bian Mu said to San Qiangzi.

He looked at Bian Mu in surprise, then looked at Suo Yurong's face a few times. San Qiangzi nodded slightly and turned back to discuss with his friend.

After a while, San Qiangzi came back.

"His third uncle is here and said the same thing as you said. His third uncle also knows about cars. His uncle also said it's 15000. What should I do?" San Qiangzi told the truth.

"Let's compromise and take 12000. This will make us seem reasonable, and they are not short of money. We can consider it as poverty alleviation and charity." Bian Mu came up with an idea immediately.

After much negotiation, San Qiangzi's friend finally paid 13000 to settle the matter.

The crowd gradually dispersed and San Qiangzi also returned to his residence.

Bian Mu called Suo Yurong aside and asked casually, "How did your discussion with Mr. Pi go?"

"It's quite funny, he said he was giving you face and agreed to part of my request. The share deal didn't go through, so I got the money and he was done with it! We'll agree to divorce next week! Overall, I'm taking less loss, I guess! But... without your help, even if I win the case in the end, I'll still suffer a big loss financially. Thank you!"

"As you wish, it's getting late. Don't keep your friend waiting. We'll talk about the patient over the phone tomorrow. Don't worry! I'll take responsibility!"

"Look at what you said. Those people over there take you seriously and are afraid that you will pick a fight with them! Let's talk again tomorrow when we have time! Bye!" After saying that, Suo Yurong got in the car and left with that group of people.
