Outside, the Audi A3 slowly pulled away.
Though it wasn’t exactly brand new, it was still a luxury brand car.
No matter how you looked at it, it was miles better than that beat-up Alto.
Watching the vehicle gradually disappear into the distance, Zhang Bazi looked at Mad Dog and asked, “Lord Dog, are we really just giving him the car like that?”
Mad Dog took a deep breath.
“What else were we supposed to do?
Can you beat him?”
Zhang Bazi’s lips twitched before he shook his head.
“No!”
“Then why the hell are you talking nonsense!” Mad Dog said, his face contorted in agony over the loss.
“Just treat it as if the car got stolen.
Besides, out with the old, in with the new!”
“But this is the only Audi in the entirety of Baiyun Town!”
As soon as Zhang Bazi’s words fell, Mad Dog kicked him squarely in the chest.
“Then tell me what the hell else we could have done!”
Taking the kick head-on, Zhang Bazi patted the dirt off his clothes and asked, “Lord Dog, should we figure out a way to settle the score?”
“Idiot!” Mad Dog glared at him.
“Anyone with those kinds of skills is definitely no ordinary character.
For someone like that to stay in this tiny Baiyun Town, he might just be the same type of person as that big boss over on Yuntu Street.
If we offend him, we’ll probably lose everything we have!”
“Then from now on…”
“From now on, you call him ‘sir’ when you see him, and you wait on him hand and foot.
As long as we don’t provoke a big shot like that, he definitely won’t make things difficult for us.” Mad Dog sighed.
“That’s reality for you.
Down here at the absolute bottom, whoever has the biggest fists gets the final say!”
Despite his nickname, Mad Dog wasn’t crazy at all.
On the contrary, he possessed his own kind of street smarts.
He had no education and no real skills.
Relying solely on underhanded tactics, he had gathered this gang of subordinates and surprisingly carved out a piece of territory for himself in Baiyun Town.
If he truly were a fool, he would have been crushed by the other two big bosses long ago.
However, this was as far as he could go.
It was nearly impossible for him to expand any further.
Those other two bosses had been able to leave the town and develop in the county city because they owned legitimate businesses.
Mad Dog, on the other hand, had no proper trade!
In truth, this was exactly why Jiang Chen had defeated them so easily.
This gang relied entirely on cheap tricks and their fists to stand at the peak of Baiyun Town.
To put it bluntly, they were just thugs at the very bottom of society.
And when dealing with people who solved everything with their fists, the best and most direct method was simply to have harder fists than them.
After driving away, Jiang Chen didn’t stick around town for long.
He had actually wanted to see exactly what kind of person that big boss on Yuntu Street was, but after some thought, he figured that showing up so abruptly would be meaningless.
Besides, there would be plenty of time for that later.
So, he drove the car straight toward Xianhuang Village.
Zhang Rou had been pacing back and forth, waiting anxiously.
Ever since she returned, her heart had been filled with unease because she knew full well how formidable Mad Dog and his men were.
Jiang Chen was just one man.
Going alone to confront them was undoubtedly like a lamb walking into a lion’s den.
Yet, she didn’t have any other options.
As a weak woman, if she went, not only would she be unable to help, but she would also drag him down.
Call the villagers?
What use would a bunch of women be if they went over there?
So, all she could do was wait here.
Minutes and seconds ticked by, but there was still no sign of Jiang Chen.
Stopping in her tracks, she took out her phone and found Luo Yanran’s contact.
However, she hesitated.
Luo Yanran was indeed the only person she could find to brainstorm a solution with.
But Jiang Chen had previously instructed her not to tell Yanran about this matter.
For a moment, she didn’t know what to do.
Taking a deep breath, she thought, “No, I have to tell Yanran about this.
Otherwise, if something really happens to Jiang Chen and Yanran is left completely in the dark, I’ll bear this guilt for the rest of my life!”
After some consideration, she dialed the number.
It took quite a while before the call connected.
“Sister Rou, what’s wrong?
Are you back?”
“Yes, um…
Jiang Chen, he…” Zhang Rou replied.
“What happened to him?”
Just as Zhang Rou was about to confess the whole situation, she noticed an Audi steadily approaching.
Through the front windshield, she could clearly see Jiang Chen’s face.
The car slowly came to a halt, and Jiang Chen stepped out completely unscathed.
He even waved at her.
“Sister Rou, what happened to Jiang Chen?
Why aren’t you saying anything?” Luo Yanran asked on the other end of the line.
Snapping back to her senses, Zhang Rou hurriedly said, “It’s nothing.
It looks like Jiang Chen bought a car.”
“What does him buying a car have to do with me?” Yanran’s tone had been rather anxious just moments ago, but upon hearing this, she immediately turned aloof again.
Zhang Rou chuckled awkwardly and changed the subject.
“What are you up to?”
“A special patient came to the clinic, and I’m currently examining him. Read this novel at g.com for the best experience.
If you have nothing else to do now that you’re back, come over and help me out.”
“Alright, we’ll be there in a bit!”
Hanging up the phone, Zhang Rou hurried over to Jiang Chen and looked him up and down.
Jiang Chen smiled.
“I know I’m very handsome, but there’s no need for Sister Rou to be this mesmerized by me!”
Seeing that he was perfectly fine, Zhang Rou glared at him reproachfully.
“Stop being so full of yourself.
I was just checking to see if you were hurt.”
“What could possibly happen to me!” Jiang Chen shrugged with a grin.
“Were you waiting here for me?”
“Nonsense!
You went to Mad Dog’s lair all by yourself.
How could I not be worried!”
“He’s just a rabid dog.
My Dog Beating Stick Technique is enough to teach him how to be a man…
No, wait, how to be a dog!”
“You’re bragging!” Zhang Rou pointed at the car behind him.
“I bet you ran away halfway there and just went to buy a car instead!”
To some extent, Zhang Rou didn’t believe him.
After all, Mad Dog was a notoriously formidable character.
She believed that Jiang Chen had the guts to go alone, but she certainly didn’t believe he could go by himself and return completely unscathed.
Seeing this, Jiang Chen couldn’t be bothered to explain.
He simply patted the Audi and asked, “What do you think?”
“It’s really nice!” Zhang Rou smiled.
“I heard there’s only one Audi in the whole town, so yours is the second one.
It’s also the very first one among all the surrounding villages!”
“Come on, I’ll take you for a spin!” Jiang Chen laughed.
“Let’s go to my house to pick up some things first.
Yanran just said that a special patient came to the clinic and she wants me to go over and help.
I also need to drop off the packages she asked me to bring back for her.”
Hearing this, Jiang Chen nodded.
“Alright.”
With that, the two of them got into the car together and drove straight toward Zhang Rou’s house.
As the Audi cruised through the streets, it undoubtedly became the most stunning sight in the entire village.
Xianhuang Village was incredibly poor.
Let alone cars, there weren’t even any agricultural tricycles around, and motorcycles were few and far between.
The villagers gathered at the intersections, watching closely.
They gossiped among themselves, wondering exactly what kind of big shot had come to their dilapidated village.
When the car parked outside Zhang Rou’s house and she was the first to step out, everyone’s eyes lit up.
“Could it be that Zhang Rou found herself a rich heir out there?”
“It’s not surprising.
After all, Zhang Rou is a college graduate!”
“Wait, that’s not right.
Look at who’s getting out of the driver’s seat—isn’t that Jiang Chen?”
