The four off-road vehicles were none other than the powerful, oil-guzzling tigers that were far more fuel-consuming than the two desert off-road vehicles driven by Zhang Guodong and his group.

"Boss, look! There's someone over there! Haha. Finally, we see someone!" A man in the lead car suddenly shouted excitedly.

"Oh? Old Zheng, which piece of land is this? Whose land is this?" someone in the back seat asked hurriedly.

"This should be a slogan." The other person hesitated for a moment, then quickly checked the Beidou positioning device. This high-tech thing is really useful; by inputting all the areas divided in this desert into this device, you can immediately see the "red box" on the screen. The circled area on the ground is marked with a "slogan".

"Plot No. 7?!"

"Boss, isn't this that kid's territory? It's not far from the No. 1 plot!"

Land No. 1 is the land owned by Zhu Lifu.

Inside the four vehicles were Zhu Lifu and his men. Zhu Lifu's once neat and shiny hair was now messy and dull, and his expressive face made him look older. Most noticeably, his lips were now chapped, as if he hadn't drunk water for days.

At this moment, Zhu Lifu was in very poor spirits. As soon as he heard that he could see people and had arrived at a certain place, he couldn't care about anything else. His heart, mind, eyes, and mouth were filled with nothing but thirst and hunger.

"Drive there quickly!"

The four cars immediately accelerated and drove towards the slogan field.

The loud roar not only drew Zhang Guodong and the fat man down the sand dune, but also made the others stare at the four vehicles with surprise, their eyes flashing with strange light.

"Will there be any food or drink in these four vehicles?"

"I don't know, I'll borrow some first, and pay them back after we get out of the desert!"

"Gubei"

Those eyes were like wolves eyeing meat, or flies eyeing filth, ready to pounce at any moment.

With a whoosh, the four cars came to a quick stop. The sand beneath the tires arced gracefully, flying several meters away.

The car door slammed shut with a loud bang.

A dozen or so people got out of the car, but the appearance of each of them surprised Liu Xi and his group.

Disheveled! Thirsty! Scorching!

"This..." Liu Xi stared in disbelief. He had originally thought this would be everyone's hope, a source of supplies. Who would have thought these people were also short of water and food, even more desperate than them.

"Director Zheng? Boss Zhu?" Liu Xi recognized the person at a glance; the other person's clothes were half-draped, revealing his face.

"Quick! Find water! Find food! Damn it, we're dying of thirst and hunger!" Zhu Lifu was overjoyed when he saw that Hong Xi and the others looked much better than his own group. Now they could finally find something to drink and eat.

Even without Zhu Lifu saying anything, his bodyguards and thugs had already run towards the two desert off-road vehicles.

"Hey, what are you doing?" The little girl, Xu Ning, shouted urgently when she saw the other party looking at their water and belongings.

They'd run out of water on the desert off-road trip, only having half a bucket left. This bucket was in Liu Xi's possession, which they were planning to share. But there was still some food in the vehicle. They absolutely couldn't let the other side take it, otherwise what would they eat?

Without water, food becomes even more vital!

The young girl, Xu Ning, stepped forward to stop them, and the others immediately realized what was happening. They confronted the bodyguards and thugs, glaring at them and provoking their anger.

These people actually tried to steal their food! They acted like they hadn't eaten in days. Besides, their stomachs were empty; how could they possibly give away food that wasn't even enough?

"No way? What happened to Zhu Lifu?" the fat man exclaimed in surprise. It's only been half a day since they left the place where the slogan was raised, but Zhu Lifu and his men have already turned into this state. Hungry and thirsty, to the point of fighting over water and food?

However, as he spoke, he quickened his pace and walked over.

There was only a little food left, and no one had eaten yet. How could they let the other side take it? The fat man was furious.

Zhang Guodong followed behind the fat man, somewhat surprised. How could Zhu Lifu be in such a sorry state? How did he end up here? Was he still not giving up?

Many people were spying on the slogans, but Zhu Lifu was the first to approach them. He even brought threats.

"Stop it, all of you!" the fat man roared.

"Get out of here, I'll pay you back double for this. Damn it, it's not like I'm not going to pay you back!" One of the bodyguards was really starving, so he shoved the fat man aside and started carrying things downstairs.

The others were the same. They didn't take Liu Xi and the others, who were weaker than them, seriously at all.

Rude! Brutal!

"Zhu Lifu, if you don't stop your men, your company can forget about continuing to operate in this province!" the fat man roared at Zhu Lifu.

No one dared to push him, which made Pao Liang feel embarrassed.

"Hey, threatening our boss? You want to die?" Immediately, a bodyguard stepped forward, sneering at the fat man. His posture suggested he was ready to beat him up at the slightest provocation.

"What are you doing? Stop it, or we'll arrest you all!" The little girl, Xu Ning, was so angry that her cheeks turned red. She had never seen such arrogant people openly stealing their things.

"Arrest us? Just the two of you lowly cops?"

"Haha, come on, come on, little beauty. Come on, let me catch you!"

The little girl was furious, but seeing the dozen or so people laughing so unrestrainedly, her eyes reddened. She hadn't experienced anything like this before. She was actually brought to tears.

Two junior police officers arrested more than a dozen of them? Don't be ridiculous! Besides, who is their boss? He's someone who can do whatever he wants in the city, why would he be afraid of some lowly police officer from Ningyun County?

Zhu Li, after a moment of stunned silence, recovered and said in a gloomy voice, "What a big mouth you have! You...you're so rude!"

But in his heart he was thinking, "This fat man is a complete stranger, how dare he talk such big words?"

"Old Zheng, do you know this fatso?"

But Director Zheng was immediately puzzled. Based on his experience judging people, this fat man, though dark-skinned, possessed a certain imposing presence. However, upon closer examination, he couldn't place any of the children of the city's leaders. Of course, he had already met some of them, but those weren't counted.

"Boss Zhu, I've never seen this fat man before," Director Zheng said hesitantly after a moment's thought.

That's good!

Zhu Lifu immediately felt relieved. To be honest, the fat man's shout had indeed startled him.

"Move out!"

"Easy to persuade you, boss!" the subordinates replied with smiles.

"But boss, there's only a little food here, no water. What should we do?"

"No water?"

A bodyguard suddenly noticed that Liu Xi was carrying a half-full bucket of water and strode over.

Seeing the situation turning sour, Liu Xi immediately looked to the fat man for help. With Director Zheng present, his words would give him away. Give it to him? Or not?

I never expected these people to be so crazy. They even dared to contradict Secretary Wang and gave him a push.

"Give me the bucket!" A voice saved Liu Xi.

It was Zhang Guodong.

Liu Xi immediately handed the bucket to Zhang Guodong, relieved. "Anyway, you're all leaders, let the leaders handle this! This little bit of water is like everyone's face; if I lose it, I'll probably face the consequences."

"Kid, give it to me!" The bodyguard stretched out his hand, looking at Zhang Guodong with a sinister smile.

"If you're so capable, come and get it yourself, Fatty. You can't reason with people, especially in a deserted place like the desert," Zhang Guodong glanced at the other man, put the bucket on the ground, and lectured Fatty.

"Hey, dare to talk back? Let me teach you why flowers are so red!"

He threw a punch at Zhang Guodong with two or three times the force of an average person. However, this force was no match for Zhang Guodong.

"snort!"

"Is that so?" Zhang Guodong grabbed the other man's fist, his five fingers tightening and gradually closing.

The other person's expression changed instantly. Zhang Guodong's fingers felt like vises, as if his bones were about to be crushed at any moment.

"Everyone, come help quickly, this kid's tough!"

He kicked Zhang Guodong in the groin.

"Bang! Ah!" Zhang Guodong didn't dodge, instead stretching out his leg to collide head-on with the other person. The other person let out a scream, as if they heard their own shinbone breaking. Zhang Guodong's shin was like a steel plate. The instantaneous pain from the impact could knock an ordinary person unconscious.

"Snap!" With the combined force of five fingers, that hand was instantly ruined.

The once burly bodyguard was now a mere shrimp. His hand was twisted so grotesquely it made one's face turn pale; the moment Zhang Guodong let go, he collapsed to the ground.

"Damn it!" The fat man standing next to him turned pale and unconsciously swallowed, looking at Zhang Guodong with a slightly fearful expression.

Even though he knew Zhang Guodong wouldn't harm him, the sight of such blood and cruelty still sent shivers down his spine.

“Sometimes, fists are more effective than words!” Zhang Guodong sneered.

Looking at the bodyguards swarming towards him, shouting and yelling, Zhang Guodong's expression was filled with contempt. In his eyes, these people were no different from ants.

However, sometimes even the smallest things can ruin things and your mood, forcing you to take action.

Liu Xi and the others quickly retreated a few meters, keeping their distance from Zhang Guodong. They were immediately terrified by Zhang Guodong, especially by the unconscious man lying on the ground, swollen like a shrimp ball. His final scream before losing consciousness was chilling. It was enough to make anyone's liver and gallbladder rupture.

"Gulp! My god, who exactly is this young master Zhang? He knocked someone out without even trying!"

In the eyes of the little girl Xu Ning, Zhang Guodong was incredibly tall and imposing. He should have been swift and decisive in teaching these bad guys a lesson. She wished they'd all lost their arms and legs! The little girl's eyes sparkled, her cheeks flushed, her breathing grew heavier, and she stared intently at Zhang Guodong. Her fists were clenched tightly.

That was so exciting!

The fact that all these people attacked together was exactly what Zhang Guodong had in mind.

"Damn it, everyone charge! Kill this kid!"

As soon as they put the things down, the other bodyguards and thugs were furious that their brother had been humiliated by Zhang Guodong and had been beaten down in front of him with just one shot.

“Boss Zhang, you have impressive skills. Even my bodyguards are no match for you. You guys should spar with Boss Zhang and learn something, otherwise how will you protect me in the future?” Zhu Lifu said with a sinister smile.

“Boss, fists have no eyes, and they can’t be stopped.” That’s a problem, but how can you compare to Boss Zhang’s skills? Boss Zhang, don’t you think so?” Zhu Lifu said to Zhang Guodong in a sinister tone.

"Despicable!" Liu Xi's side immediately shouted angrily.

"A group attacking one person"—is that what you call a friendly sparring match?

"Boss Zhu, isn't this a bad idea? What if the higher-ups find out?" Director Zheng was sweating profusely, his heart pounding with anxiety.

Two businessmen got into a fight, which wouldn't be a big deal outside. But I was right there. If one of them got hurt and the higher-ups investigated, I wouldn't be able to escape responsibility.

"Hehe, Director Zheng, didn't you hear? Old Zhang is relying on his skills to spar with my men. I can't refuse. If anyone loses a hand or a leg, it's their own fault!" Zhu Lifu chuckled a few times and said.

Wang: More to come later.
