A man in China recently lent his car to a friend, only to discover later that it had gained viral attention for all the wrong reasons.

The friend had borrowed the car to shoot adult content, and shockingly, the car's registration number was left uncensored in the video.

The car owner had purchased a Xiaomi SU7. In early November, a friend running a car rental company took on a rental order for an SU7 but lacked sufficient vehicles. To fulfill the request, the friend asked him to source a car from his car club as a last-minute solution.

Despite forwarding the request to the club, the low price offered deterred interest. Eventually, the man decided to lend his own SU7 to honor his friend's request, according to ETtoday.

After the car was returned, the owner noticed some stains inside but didn’t suspect anything unusual. He sent it for cleaning and didn’t check the dashcam footage.

The shocking truth came to light on November 16, when the adult content went viral and was shared in a chat group the car owner belonged to. A participant posted a screenshot from the video, clearly displaying the car with its registration number visible. This led to an awkward situation, as group members began questioning the owner's involvement in the video's production.

Outraged, the car owner contacted the rental company and demanded negotiations with the lessee. The matter is now under police investigation.
