Mysterious city

But after walking around An'gang several times, Jiang Zhe couldn't find a car he liked.

The car salesmen were originally very attentive, but once they found out that Jiang Zhe was very hesitant when choosing a car, they felt that they could not extract benefits from him.

Later, a few guys even regarded Jiang Zhe as a scoundrel who came to eat and drink for free and covet small gifts. Not only did they treat him coldly, but they almost kicked him out.

At this time, Jiang Zhe no longer had the mentality to look at cars. In fact, it was no wonder that he was so unsure when looking at cars. After all, just a car, no matter how close the brand is to the people, the price is not. A small amount.

Although some cars are cheap, you always have to consider fuel consumption and maintenance when buying a car. The fuel consumption of some brands of cars is really not directly proportional to the price and practicality.

As for new energy vehicles, after careful consideration, Jiang Zhe gave up.

After all, although the emerging electric vehicles are an unstoppable trend, there are also a lot of negative rumors.

There are endless news about owners of electric cars that cannot be started due to cold weather and are stranded on the highway. As for the car itself, there are also many minor problems.

Thinking of this, Jiang Zhe couldn't help but sigh. It seemed that he was still not fully prepared. He didn't do enough research before coming, so he was wasting time wandering around like a headless fly.

Just as Jiang Zhe was about to return home, a second-hand car shop not far away caught his attention.

This made Jiang Zhe's eyes light up.

Yes, there are many problems with new cars, the quality is not guaranteed, and the prices are ridiculously expensive. Why not buy some older cars with better reputations?

The biggest problem with buying second-hand cars is that they are easy to be deceived by merchants. If you are a novice who does not know the industry, it is easy to buy some damaged cars or accident cars at inflated prices.

Without systematic knowledge of the automotive industry, it is difficult to tell whether a vehicle has had a major accident.

Moreover, the mileage of a car can also be faked. Some cars with only 50,000 to 60,000 kilometers on the odometer may have been deliberately forged by adjusting the odometer of some cars that have run hundreds of thousands of kilometers.

Fortunately, Constantine's knowledge areas are relatively broad, and they all know more or less about car maintenance.

Otherwise, if the car encounters a breakdown during an emergency mission, the mission will go wrong because it cannot be repaired in time, and the consequences will be disastrous.

Jiang Zhe understands that if it is a car that has been in a major accident, no matter how well it is painted and repaired, there will still be some traces left.

These can be seen from the paint surface of the body panel and the welding spots and paint surface of the body frame to determine whether the body frame has been damaged.

If the car is soaked in water, the electronic system will be damaged. If the electronic system shows signs of extensive replacement, and there are abnormal signs on the seats, steering column, and screws in the car, then it is most likely that the car has been soaked in water.

As for whether the odometer is fake, it is even simpler. It is not difficult to judge from some details.

For example, the wear and tear of accessories such as steering wheels, center armrests, and gear levers, as these are among the most frequently used car parts.

Especially the steering wheel. When many people replace car accessories, most people will not think of replacing the steering wheel. Even if some caring people notice that the steering wheel is seriously aging, they just replace the steering wheel cover. The signs of wear and tear cannot be covered up.

There are some remaining details such as the brake pads and the aging degree of the interior, which I won’t go into details.

Relying on his knowledge of the automotive field, Jiang Zhe quickly selected a car that he liked very much - a second-hand Crown.

For the older generation, Crown is a classic "luxury car" brand. Although it is not expensive, it has an aristocratic temperament and looks very stable.

This is undoubtedly the best choice for Jiang Zhe. After all, this kind of car is more comfortable to drive and ride in, and its shape is low-key and not too ostentatious.

As a second-hand car, this Crown looks relatively neat both in appearance and interior, which shows that even though it has been around for a certain period of time, the car owner still cherishes it.

However, Jiang Zhe still dare not take it lightly, because the quality of the engine is the core of determining whether a car is in good condition.

After telling the shop owner that he wanted to check the engine, the smile on the second-hand car shop owner's face softened significantly, knowing that he had met someone knowledgeable.

Fortunately, Jiang Zhe roughly checked the condition of the engine and found that there was no obvious vibration during operation, and there was no abnormal metal impact sound. The condition was relatively good.

So Jiang Zhe immediately made the decision to win the Crown. However, when the deal was completed, the boss's expression was obviously unhappy.

Because Jiang Zhe kept the price of picking up the car very low, and pointed out the vehicle's faults even though they were not major, they were very detailed, so that even the boss who had been selling used cars all his life could not refute.

However, the boss had no choice but to suffer a loss and reluctantly sold the car to Jiang Zhe at a very low price.

After all, in modern society, young people in their twenties and thirties are the main consumers.

For young people, both the aesthetics and the brand of Crown are too "old-fashioned" and do not suit their tastes.

So even if the car is in good condition, no one has cared about it for a long time.

Now that he has finally found a young man who can take a fancy to this car, the boss originally wanted to cut a lot of leeks.

Unexpectedly, the guy in front of him looked young, but his vision and experience were very vicious. The boss who was eager to take action had no choice but to admit defeat.

Jiang Zhe naturally felt very happy after winning this Crown in good condition at a very low price.

But after paying the money, he remembered something that gave him a headache, that is, the second-hand car must complete the transfer procedures before it can be put on the road.

This tedious process would take most of the day no matter what, and I had to be busy preparing for Lu Yunru's girlfriends' party tomorrow.

In desperation, Jiang Zhe had no choice but to call Ahu, asking him to find a subordinate to handle the matter for him.

Jiang Zhe still had no doubts about Ahu's loyalty. As long as he told him not to let Lin Zihan know, Ahu would never reveal a word.

What's more, there are so many bodyguards in Lin's villa, and it is impossible to randomly select a young man to attract the attention of that little girl Lin Zihan.

But strangely enough, he had been away for a while. Logically speaking, Lin Zihan should have woken up a long time ago. Why didn't he notice that he was no longer in the villa, and why didn't he come to pester him?

While Jiang Zhe was wondering, a cold female voice came from the other end of the phone, and then it started beeping.

"No one heard?"

Jiang Zhe was stunned. He knew that Ahu's mobile phone was always on 24 hours a day, in order to facilitate any arrangements he and Lin Zihan made.

So this is the first time that "no one is answering" has happened.

Feeling a little strange, Jiang Zhe lit a cigarette and was about to dial the phone again when Ahu had already called back.

"Jiang, Brother Jiang, you didn't pay attention to your phone just now. What are your orders?"

Ah Hu's voice sounded a little weird. Jiang Zhe told him straight to the point what he wanted from Ah Hu, and Ah Hu readily agreed.

However, just when Ahu was about to hang up the phone, he was stopped by Jiang Zhe.

"Ahu, you're not at Lin Zihan's house, right? What are you doing?"

Jiang Zhe asked lightly. He knew that if Ahu stayed at Lin's villa and did nothing else, it would be impossible not to answer his call.

After Jiang Zhe asked this question, Ahu's voice sounded even more unnatural: "Yes, yes, I'll go out to deal with some things and I'll be back soon."

A'hu stammered in reply, but Jiang Zhe continued to ask without giving A'hu any time to think: "Is it about Lin Zihan?"

Ahu on the other end of the phone was silent for a full two seconds before he laughed twice and replied angrily: "No, no, it's a company matter. Brother Jiang, don't worry, I've arranged everything in the villa. Nothing will go wrong.”

After listening to Ahu's words, Jiang Zhe nodded and gave a few casual instructions: "Go back early. If similar things happen in the future, just leave it to your subordinates to handle."

"After all, you are the backbone and brains of the bodyguard team. If you are not here, they will not be able to handle any unexpected situation."

After hanging up the phone, Jiang Zhe fell into deep thought.

He knew that Ahu was very good at dealing with undercover children and protecting his employer's safety.

But if he were to lie, the effect would be a bit unsatisfactory.

When Ahu first said "go out to deal with things," Jiang Zhe knew that he was doing things for Lin Zihan.

After all, Ahu couldn't be the kind of person who leaves his post without permission, and now he is no longer affiliated with Lin's company, but is just Lin Zihan's bodyguard.

Only Lin Zihan can take Ahu away from work.

However, Ahu was secretive and did not say that it was the task assigned to him by Lin Zihan, which made Jiang Zhe suspicious.

Sure enough, he just asked casually, and Ahu fell silent. Even his answer was very unnatural and sounded very guilty, which made Jiang Zhe strengthen his suspicion.

But what mission did Lin Zihan give to A Hu to make him secretive like this?

Jiang Zhe knew that Ahu had always obeyed his words and would not dare to hide anything.

And the reason why this happened this time must be Lin Zihan's intention.

But Jiang Zhe didn't ask further, because firstly he didn't want to trouble Ahu and embarrass Ahu, and secondly because he wanted to see what kind of tricks this little girl Lin Zihan was doing behind his back?

Jiang Zhe couldn't help but recall the strange look on Lin Zihan's face full of surprise when he stood next to the front of the Porsche that night.
