Zhou Mingli wasn't going to kick him at all; instead, he swung his knife high and slashed at the hand holding the object!
The other person was startled and quickly moved aside, but Zhou Mingli's move was just a feint. He took a long stride and kicked the other person off the car as he moved aside.
"Awesome!" Cheng Shaojun clenched his fist and shouted from the front.
Another man, whose most vulnerable spot had been stepped on by Zhou Mingli, lay on the ground groaning and unable to get up.
Zhou Mingli took the knife and walked over.
Where the flashlight shone, the knife in Zhou Mingli's hand still reflected a cold, eerie blue light.
He patted the other person's face with the back of the knife.
His opponent's blood was also splattered on his face.
Zhou Mingli didn't even say anything to him before kicking the man out of the car.
In less than five minutes, Zhou Mingli had taken care of both of them.
After watching the whole thing, Cheng Shaojun breathed a sigh of relief. "It's alright now. Those two people in the back have all been taken care of."
Startled, Brother Yu was wide awake and drove for over an hour before finally stopping at a gas station.
"Second brother, are you alright?"
"Those two didn't hurt you, did they?!"
Zhou Mingli jumped out of the car and was surrounded by the three men. After they finished talking, Zhou Mingli said, "I'm not injured. The blood on me is someone else's."
"Brother Yu, could you get me one of my coats?"
Brother Yu nodded hurriedly and quickly grabbed one of Zhou Mingli's coats.
After Zhou Mingli finished changing, Xu San and Cheng Shaojun showered him with concern and offered him a thermos.
Zhou Mingli took a couple of sips of water and listened to Xu San ask, "Should we continue on our way?"
Zhou Mingli said, "We're not in a hurry. We'll rest at this gas station for a bit and leave tomorrow morning."
"good."
After dealing with such a fierce battle, the others didn't ask him to continue the night watch and let Zhou Mingli continue to rest.
Zhou Mingli waved his hand, "We agreed on shift work. What happened just now was an accident. You should all rest. I'll sleep in tomorrow morning."
The three of them couldn't persuade Zhou Mingli otherwise, so they had no choice but to go back to rest.
Zhou Mingli got into the car and used a flashlight to check the radio.
There were still more than 360 radios left. When he slashed the thief's hand with the knife, some blood splattered on the outer packaging.
He tried wiping it with a handkerchief, but it wasn't easy to wipe off, so he simply looked through other radio boxes and replaced them, which resulted in minimal damage.
The tarpaulin was torn, and there's not much that can be done right now, so we can only leave it for the time being.
Over the next few days, they sold two more batches of goods, reducing the total number of radios from over 360 to only 300. Traveling at a stop-and-go pace, they finally arrived in Beijing.
These goods should be stored at Brother Yu's place first. Huang Zheyue's house has two rooms and a small courtyard, which is perfect for storing these things.
The goods were still on the truck, not yet unloaded. As for the money from the sale, Zhou Mingli would collect it all and settle the accounts after the goods were sold.
Zhou Mingli did not refuse. He carried the things and was escorted to his doorstep by Brother Yu.
The neighbors were stunned to see Zhou Mingli, who hadn't had time to shave and whose clothes smelled bad because he hadn't changed them often.
The Zhou family is known for their cleanliness. Their clothes are always spotless, and they shower daily in the summer and every three days in the winter. Zhou Mingli is always a neat and handsome young man, no matter when you see him. Who has ever seen Zhou Mingli so slovenly?!
How could doing business turn a person into this?!
This isn't a business trip; it looks like they've just fled back from war!
“Xiao Zhou, you…you are…” A middle-aged woman from the management department hesitated, unsure of what to say.
"Just got back." Zhou Mingli smiled modestly. "I'm a bit disheveled from the journey, so I'll go back and tidy myself up first."
"Alright, alright, go ahead!"
The auntie from the School of Management almost wanted to pinch her nose; why did it smell so bad?
Zhou Mingli carried his bundle home.
It's time for work now, Jiang Ci isn't home, and the children have gone to school, so there's no one at home.
Zhou Mingli quickly boiled water, closed the door, drew the curtains, and took a shower.
He washed himself three times before the indescribable smell on his body finally dissipated.
After changing into the dry clothes that had been folded at home, Zhou Mingli lowered his head and smelled them.
Jiang Ci must have bought some scented tea leaves and put them in the wardrobe, because his clothes also had a refreshing fragrance.
Zhou Mingli relaxed, lay down on the bed, and actually fell asleep immediately.
When Jiang Ci came home from get off work, she found that her curtains had been moved. She wondered if a thief had broken in, when she heard the building manager say, "Little Jiang! Your husband is back!"
Jiang Ci was taken aback, took out her keys to open the door, and asked, "When did you get back?"
"It was a little after one o'clock this afternoon. Oh my, Xiao Jiang, did your man really go out to do business? Why did he come back so dirty and smelly?" The supervisor was straightforward and said whatever came to mind.
Jiang Ci smiled and said, "What business? It's just a small business. I've been traveling for months on end. There's nothing I can do about it."
Jiang Ci opened the door. "You're busy, I'm going home now."
"Okay."
Jiang Ci closed the door and looked around. Zhou Mingli had poured out all the water after taking a bath. Apart from the clothes in the laundry basket that hadn't been washed yet, there was only the bundle on the table next to him.
The stench that the auntie from the management department mentioned was coming from Zhou Mingli's bundle.
Jiang Ci found the smell somewhat familiar, but instead of going to look at it immediately, she went inside.
Before she could speak, she was embraced tightly.
Jiang Ci was startled. Strong arms held her tightly, and her cheek was burned by familiar but excessively rapid warm breath before she realized what was happening.
Jiang Ci pinched the soft flesh on his waist with her fingers, "Are you trying to scare me to death?"
Why are you so quiet at home?
Jiang Ci spoke with difficulty, and Zhou Mingli held her, kissing her cheeks and then moving the kisses to her lips.
Zhou Mingli's voice was hoarse, "I only woke up when I heard your voice, and I didn't have time to say anything."
"Wife."
He missed Jiang Ci terribly, holding her tightly and refusing to let go. Soon after, he kissed her lips again, his advances swift and fierce.
"Um... bag..."
Jiang Ci's words were indistinct; she also had a bag slung over her shoulder, and kissing with such a bag on her shoulder was definitely not comfortable.
Zhou Mingli helped her pull the bag strap off her shoulder, and the somewhat heavy bag fell to the ground with a thud.
Ignoring it, Zhou Mingli hugged Jiang Ci tightly and pulled her towards him.
Jiang Ci did not reject his enthusiasm. Not to mention that Zhou Mingli missed her, Jiang Ci also missed Zhou Mingli very much.
He became increasingly lean; after months of running around, he had no excess fat on his body, and his muscles were hard to the touch, as if he were ready to pounce at any moment.
Her face had also become much thinner, revealing her delicate bone structure.
