Chapter 526: Following

In the era of hot weapons, the deterrent power of pistols is still quite strong, especially right after Gao Mingcheng showed his terrifying skills.

At this moment, everyone knew that they were doomed to lose.

So without waiting for the leader to speak, when Gao Mingcheng ordered them to get out, they tactfully left.

They walked in such a hurry that they even forgot to pick up the weapons that fell on the ground.

"Brother, is your wound deep?" Chen Duoxi looked at Chen Duofu's wound which was still bleeding, and tears came out of her eyes.

This was the first time in Chen Duoxi’s life that he had such a fierce fight!

Gao Mingcheng quickly climbed into the car and took out hemostatic drugs and bandages from the luggage bag. These were essential items for going out.

He quickly bandaged Chen Duofu's wound and comforted him, "Don't worry, there is no cut on the blood vessels, the wound is not too deep, it will heal in a few days, and you won't have to exert any effort when unloading the goods next time."

The wound still hurt a little, but Chen Duofu endured it and even comforted his younger brother Chen Duoxi.

"Don't worry, I'm fine."

Chen Duoxi's eyes were red from crying, and it seemed that she was really scared.

Seeing him crying like this, Gao Mingcheng felt a little embarrassed.

He coughed awkwardly, pointed at the iron rods, hoes and other things scattered on the ground, and said to Chen Duoxi: "Pick these up and take them away. They are yours."

Chen Duoxi looked at the things on the ground and picked them up immediately. Most of these things were farm tools, which were still very practical, and even if they were sold as iron, they could still make some money.

Gao Mingcheng opened the carriage and asked Chen Duoxi to put his things in.

"Get in the car. This time we will drive all the way to Zhangshu and then find a hotel to rest." Gao Mingcheng said. After the Chen brothers got in the car, he concentrated on driving.

On the rest of the way, Gao Mingcheng drove carefully and vigilantly, and fortunately he did not encounter any trouble. When he got closer to the camphor tree, there were more vehicles on the road, and most of them were loaded with various medicinal materials.

Camphor tree has been a distribution center for medicinal materials since ancient times!

After entering Zhangshu, Gao Mingcheng relaxed a lot. The security in the city would be better. There would be no blatant robbery, at most petty thefts.

First they went to the hotel to book a room, then went to eat. Then Gao Mingcheng asked the Chen brothers to stay in the car while he went to inquire about the market prices of medicinal materials this year.

This was a piece of cake for him. During the process of inquiring, he ran into several familiar faces. They inevitably gathered together to talk, and all kinds of information were passed on at this time.

When it was getting dark, Gao Mingcheng went back to the hotel to take a shower, and then went to where the truck was parked.

The Chen brothers still stayed in the car, not daring to go anywhere.

Gao Mingcheng said: "You two stay in the hotel today, I will guard the car."

The fighting ability of the Chen brothers is too poor, and Gao Mingcheng dare not let them guard the car. When he brought Gao Mingli and the others here before, Gao Mingcheng guarded the car by himself.

He would rather be tired than cause any trouble.

With him personally guarding the car that night, a lot of unnecessary losses and troubles could be avoided.

When the rooster crows, the sky gradually brightens and a new day begins.

This year is the last pharmaceutical trade fair of the 1980s, and next year we will enter the 1990s!

The entire 1990s saw rapid development and rapid changes, and people's lives also underwent tremendous changes.

At this time, Gao Mingcheng was busy with the last medicine trade fair in the 1980s. He first sold and then bought. Since most of the items he bought were medicinal materials produced in the north, the prices were quite high. The money he had just received was gone in a flash, and he had to pay a lot more.

But after transporting this truckload of medicinal materials to Yangcheng, a lot of money can be made again.

Most agricultural products and medicinal materials are not too expensive at their place of origin, but after changing hands several times and being transported over long distances, their prices when they finally enter the market are bound to be expensive.

People are busy running around just to make a portion of the difference.

After the entire pharmaceutical trade fair, Gao Mingcheng felt that he might have lost two or three pounds due to exhaustion!

The Chen brothers saw a lot, but in most cases, they just had a cursory look and didn't know the details.

As he was away from home and had to guard the car, it was not easy for him to stay for long, so after finishing his work, Gao Mingcheng prepared to go back.

What he didn't know was that he had been targeted.

In this mixed society, some people work diligently and make money honestly, but there are also people who want to take a different approach and make quick money.

Gao Mingcheng's behavior of buying a large amount of precious medicinal materials caught the attention of some people, and they also knew that Gao Mingcheng was on guard in the car every night.

So they judged that Gao Mingcheng would be exhausted on the return journey.

When Gao Mingcheng was leaving Zhangshu with a truckload of precious medicinal materials, a shabby pickup truck followed him stealthily.

At first Gao Mingcheng didn't care because many cars would leave when the pharmaceutical trade fair ended.

Some of these trucks returned empty, while others, like him, transported the purchased medicinal materials to other places.

The reason why people in Hong Kong and other places can use medicinal materials such as ginseng and deer antlers from Changbai Mountain, as well as Cynomorium songaricum, Astragalus and Codonopsis pilosula from the Northwest is that countless people are busy on the road of transportation.

In ancient times there were the Silk Road and the Ancient Tea-Horse Road, and today there are highways and cars that radiate in all directions.

Technology has changed our lives and made the transfer of materials faster.

"Brother Mingcheng, I used to envy you and thought you were rich, but now after following you on this trip, I know that no one earns money easily!" Chen Duoxi said with emotion while watching Gao Mingcheng drive.

Many people in the village knew that Gao Mingcheng was rich, and they also roughly knew how he made his money. However, many people thought that Gao Mingcheng's money came easily, so they often gossiped about him behind his back. However, due to Gao Mingcheng's fighting ability, no one dared to say anything to his face.

Gao Mingcheng smiled and said, "No pain, no gain, it's the same for everyone. Duoxi, Duofu, when you go back, you two brothers have to practice more boxing and kicking skills! When you fought before, you were just messing around, it's easy to suffer losses this way."

Gao Mingcheng said this with a smile, but the faces of the Chen brothers instantly turned sour.

Because... they really don't want to have such an exciting fight again!

When fighting, they only felt their hearts pounding and their blood boiling. They felt as if they were walking on the edge of death. It was exciting, but also very scary.

Gao Mingcheng was so smart that he could see their fear at a glance, but he didn't expose it. Instead, he talked about other things.

The atmosphere in the car eased after talking about other relaxing things.

The car was driving steadily and quickly along the way, and gradually, there were fewer and fewer vehicles on the road.

Only then did Gao Mingcheng realize that something was wrong.

The pickup truck a hundred meters behind me seemed to be following me?

Was it just a coincidence, or was it intentional?
