After Chen Zhe left, Xie Yuhan went to Xie Laodao's study.
As soon as she entered the door, her little face puffed up, and she looked a bit grumpy.
Old Master Xie looked up.
"What's wrong?"
“Grandpa, if you don’t want to help Chen Zhe, just say so. He’s already asked me for help. You called him over but you’re not helping him. You’re clearly breaking your promise.”
"How did Grandpa go back on his word? Didn't I give him a book?"
Speaking of this, Xie Yuhan became even more annoyed.
"Is this how you help people? I can't even read all the words in that book, how can he possibly understand it? Even if he could, what good would it do? If the assassin really comes close to him with a knife, do you expect him to pull out this book to block it?"
Seeing his granddaughter's unhappy expression, Grandpa Xie smiled and shook his head. "Xiaoyu, everyone has their own destiny. Didn't Grandpa tell you? He's a lucky man and nothing bad will happen to him."
"But……"
"Stop with the 'buts,' you're just worrying too much and haven't learned to be rational!"
"I...I didn't..."
"Still denying it? Your face is all red! Xiaoyu, let me tell you, this kid may look honest, but he's actually very popular with women. Don't get too involved."
"Oh, Grandpa! What are you talking about? He and I are just ordinary friends!"
Xie Yuhan defended herself.
Old Master Xie stroked his beard.
"It would be best if we were just ordinary friends, Xiaoyu. Grandpa hopes you will focus on your cultivation. You are very talented. Don't be too attached to feelings, okay?"
"I already said I don't have any!!!"
"Hehe, don't interfere too much in his affairs. The master can only lead you through the door; the rest is up to you. On the other hand, Hu Ling did the right thing. To grow, you must experience trials and tribulations. It's impossible to shield him from everything; otherwise, he won't grow. The same goes for you. Grandpa can't watch over you forever. What will happen when I'm gone..."
"Grandpa, you mustn't say such things!! Aren't you pursuing immortality? Why are you saying such discouraging things?"
Old Master Xie stroked his beard and laughed heartily; "The art of immortality is like the way of the universe. Countless predecessors have spent their entire lives trying to understand it, but they can only grasp the basics. Even someone as talented as Master Zhang Sanfeng, who could grasp a trace of it and reach the threshold of a hundred years, is as insignificant as dust compared to the way of the universe."
"I don't understand, I just hope you live well."
"Xiaoyu, don't dwell on life and death. Life isn't just measured by its length. Some people are busy all their lives, like cattle and horses, accomplishing nothing. Others have short lives, like shooting stars, but they shine brightly. Grandpa's life has been wonderful enough. I also hope that you can find your own path. Simply put, Chen Zhe is Chen Zhe, and you are you. He is the main flower, and you shouldn't be his supporting role, understand?"
Xie Yuhan nodded, seemingly confused.
"I see."
...
The taxi was violently struck from behind by a speeding black sedan.
"Damn it!!! How do you drive like that?! I'm going to teach you a lesson you won't forget!!"
The driver prepared to park the car on the side of the road.
But Chen Zhe held him back.
"Big brother, don't go down!! Get out of here quickly!"
Seeing his tense appearance, the driver was stunned; "What's wrong? Are those people after you?"
"That's right, those people are desperate criminals. Brother, if you don't want to die, you'd better get out of here."
"Holy shit!!! You fucking killed me!!"
The driver quickly stepped on the gas and sped off, with the black car following closely behind.
"Dude, what did you do? Should we call the police?"
"It's too late. Calling the police now won't do any good."
"Damn it, what bad luck!! Hold on tight!!"
"Huh? Big brother, what do you mean??"
The driver put on his sunglasses.
"These sons of bitches dared to hit my car! I just got a new car, the honeymoon period isn't even over yet, and they dared to mess with me. Today I'll teach them a lesson: never offend a taxi driver!"
Chen Zhe then understood why the driver was wearing sunglasses. The driver was driving very fast, and the speed quickly reached 180 km/h. He kept weaving in and out of traffic, and Chen Zhe's heart was in his throat. He always felt that he was going to rear-end someone at any moment.
Fortunately, the driver was extremely skilled, weaving through traffic with ease.
Just as they were about to shake off the black car behind them.
The driver, however, slowed down.
Chen Zhe panicked.
"Big brother, what's wrong? Let's run!"
"Heh? Run? Why run? If we run away, you'll have to pay for my car!"
"Brother, don't tell me you want them to pay for your car. They're ruthless thugs..."
"Pah!!! These days, who isn't a desperate scumbag trying to make a living? I just bought this brand new car last month!!! I haven't even had a chance to enjoy it yet, and its ass is smashed to pieces. Could you stand it if that happened to you?"
"Big brother, I can endure it..."
"Screw you! You bastard!! If someone sleeps with you, you have to sleep with them back! That's what a man does!!"
"Brother, it's better to be alive. I'll pay for your car. I mean what I say."
"That won't do!! Whoever caused the accident must pay for it!"
"But there are too many of them..."
"Huh?? Lots of people??? Heh heh, then I'll show him what real crowds are today!"
At a bend, the taxi exited the overpass and headed towards an unnamed road.
...
"Haha, Brother Leopard!! This taxi driver must be an idiot! He actually dares to take this kind of road at this time. Chen Zhe is really unlucky to run into a driver like this today."
The mouse in the driver's seat laughed out loud.
Leopard Brother in the passenger seat smiled.
"Brothers, get your gear ready."
There were three people in the back seat, and they all checked their weapons.
They were all daggers and machetes.
Soon, the two vehicles entered a deserted section of highway.
"Haha, you idiot, you're asking for it!!!"
The rat accelerated, overtook the taxi, and forcefully blocked their path, forcing the taxi to stop.
The three people behind quickly opened the car doors and got out.
I originally thought they were going to smash the window.
Unexpectedly, the driver in the driver's seat slowly got out of the car and lit a cigarette.
Chen Zhe reluctantly opened the car door and got out. He finally saw the person who had been chasing him.
A bald man and four thugs.
Brother Leopard smiled when he saw the two of them come down.
"Hehe, I didn't expect you to be so brave as to stop the car. It really surprised me. You're much braver than you were on the rooftop."
Before Chen Zhe could speak, the driver next to him took a deep drag of his cigarette and then said in a nonchalant manner.
"Hey! You bald bastard, you were the one who crashed my car just now, weren't you?"
The driver actually dared to talk back.
Leopard and his group were stunned.
"Where the hell did this idiot come from? What? You want me to pay for your car?" The yellow-haired rat arrogantly held a dagger.
The driver smiled.
"You have to pay for the damage you caused? What, you can't do that?"
"Haha, pay up?? Fine, I'll pay you with a stab, let you see blood, and remember to be a little smarter in your next life!"
They wanted to kill Chen Zhe, and the driver standing nearby naturally wouldn't be spared either. Killing one was the same as killing two; to them, there wasn't much difference.
The rat charged forward, wielding a dagger. He moved swiftly, suggesting he had been in many fights.
Just when everyone thought he was about to finish off the driver with that one stab, something miraculous happened.
The driver had secretly hidden a long padlock behind his back, and at the crucial moment, he pulled it out and lashed it hard across the rat's head.
The skinny mouse's head throbbed from the lock's blows, blood gushing from its head, and it collapsed to the ground, convulsing.
Leopard Brother had sharp eyes and a ruthless gaze.
Throw the cigarette butt on the ground.
"Damn it! They dared to launch a sneak attack! Brothers, let's go!!"
The other three men grabbed their weapons and rushed forward. Just as Chen Zhe felt his life was about to end, the sound of a car rumbling suddenly came from behind them.
Immediately afterwards, taxis appeared one after another at the intersection, more than a dozen taxis arrived here in an instant.
The driver's side door of the taxi opened, and a dozen burly men, each holding a long padlock, looked menacing.
Leopard and his gang were all dumbfounded.
The driver smiled.
"What's wrong? Wasn't it supposed to be about who has more people? Now it's all about who has more people."
The three of them retreated to Leopard's side.
"Boss, what do we do?"
Brother Leopard looked at the dozen or so people, his eyes filled with anger, but in the current situation, if a fight really broke out, he would definitely not be their match.
"Take the rats and let's get out of here!"
The three men dragged the rat from the ground over and prepared to leave.
But the dozen or so drivers had already surrounded their car.
"Baldy! What the hell do you mean? I said, pay me back for my car!!!"
Brother Leopard stared at him. He had several lives on his hands, but surprisingly, this driver held his own against him.
He clenched his fists tightly, then let out a cold snort.
"Ah Qiu, give him the money back!"
"Boss?"
"pay!"
"yes!"
A Qiu pulled out a wad of cash, about 10,000 yuan, and threw it on the ground.
Are you fucking an idiot?
The driver pulled out his slipper and slapped A Qiu across the face.
"Pick it up for me!"
Ah Qiu, who had just been slapped hard, was so angry that she wanted to kill someone, but when she saw the dozen or so people behind the driver, she suppressed her anger.
He glared at the driver, then squatted down and picked up the money.
Leopard squinted at the driver.
"Do you dare to give your name?"
The driver smiled.
"What, you want revenge on me? No problem! I'm Xu Kai, the Twelfth Young Master of the Ninth Ring Road, also known as the Dragon Across the River!"
Leopard Brother pondered for a moment; he didn't seem to have heard of this name before.
"Hehe, I'll remember that! We'll meet again someday, this matter isn't over yet!"
They dragged the rat into the car and then sped away.
Seeing these people leave, Chen Zhe breathed a sigh of relief; it was a stroke of luck amidst misfortune.
"Thank you, Brother Xu! We owe you all a lot today. The fault for what happened today lies with me. How about I treat everyone to a meal?"
"Haha, no problem, no problem. But my surname isn't Xu, it's Zhang."
Chen Zhe: "..."
