Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Upon hearing that there was a case to deal with, Zhang Peng and Zhang Zixin were a little excited. They quickly picked up the clothes from the hangers and prepared to go out with Zhang Demin to investigate.
“Brother Zhang, what case is this?”
“The party involved bought a Tesla, and after driving less than 200 kilometers, the brakes failed. When she sought help from the 4S dealership, the shop claimed it was due to improper operation by the owner. After several unsuccessful negotiations, she called the police.”
“Isn’t this a case of the dealership bullying the customer? To blame brake failure on the owner’s mishandling?” Zhang Peng said angrily.
“That’s true. Let’s go over and take a look.”
“Okay.”
After tidying up, the four of them drove toward the Tesla 4S shop.
As soon as they arrived at the entrance of the shop, they saw a woman sitting on the roof of a car.
There was even a banner hanging on the car.
“Tesla doesn’t act, brakes fail, shirks responsibility, don’t buy their car!”
Lin Yi glanced at the person in question and saw that she was a woman in her thirties.
She was very good-looking. Her hair was tied up behind her head, and she was wearing blue tight-fitting jeans that wrapped her legs perfectly.
She was a young married woman who looked quite pleasing to the eye.
However, she looked a little disheveled now and lacked a proper demeanor.
When Lin Yi and the others arrived, a large group of people had surrounded the shop.
Moreover, the security guard had a physical conflict with the female car owner and tried to pull her down.
Beside the car, there were several salespeople from the dealership, dressed in suits, but they were standing aloof and even speaking rudely, with an air of arrogance.
“Don’t move!”
Zhang Peng shouted and stopped the security guard.
Seeing the police arrive, the people around them automatically dispersed.
Zhang Demin said to the woman sitting on the roof of the car,
“Come down first. If there’s any problem, we’ll solve it for you. You won’t be able to solve it sitting on the car.”
The woman looked less guarded when she saw the police. She climbed off the car.
“Officer, I have come here three times already, but each time they just say it needs to be inspected and then ask me to go back and wait for news. They’ve been dragging this on for weeks, and it’s been almost two months now. Now they’re saying it’s due to my improper handling, which is just bullying me,” the woman lamented tearfully.
Hearing this, the surrounding people pointed and criticized Tesla’s actions.
This kind of behavior was indeed a little too much.
“I’ll get in the car and take a look,” Lin Yi said, “Let me see what’s wrong.”
“Okay.”
After playing with modified cars for two years, Lin Yi’s understanding of cars had reached the point of perfection.
If there was a problem, he would be able to discover it immediately.
Seeing Lin Yi get into the car, the surrounding people retreated. No one dared to stand around and get in the way.
If he could not stop in time, they would be in danger.
After starting the car, Lin Yi stepped on the brakes twice. There was a strange sound coming from inside, and it even felt like he was bouncing.
Generally speaking, as long as the ABS system was not triggered, the car would not feel this way.
Then, Lin Yi drove more than ten meters forward and backward. The brakes did not feel good.
However, ordinary drivers would not be able to discover it.
Then, Lin Yi parked the car and said to Zhang Demin,
“There’s something wrong with the brakes.”
“Officer, as you can see, I’m not being unreasonable. There’s indeed a problem,” the woman said.
“Don’t be anxious. We’re here. We’ll definitely give you an explanation,” Zhang Demin comforted her. Then, he looked at the security guard and said,
“Where’s the person in charge.”
“Hello, police officer. I’m the technical director of the 4S shop. If there’s anything, you can talk to me.”
Unexpectedly, the technical director was a blond, blue-eyed foreigner.
His expression was very calm, and he seemingly did not take this matter to heart.
Lin Yi glanced at the work pass on his chest. His name was Mark, and as he said, he was indeed the technical director here.
“Can you take full responsibility for this matter?” Zhang Demin asked.
Mark smiled awkwardly. “1 can’t take responsibility for this, but I can cooperate with you.”
“Then find someone who can take responsibility.”
