Tens of millions of dollars?
Female boss?
Ah Kang and the others were terrified!
Trusting Miao Achen, they were both excited and expectant.
"Okay! We'll listen to you, Ah Chen. I'll go home now and write down what you said, and have someone keep an eye on things here tomorrow."
"Alright, I'll be going then. Thanks for washing my car, guys. You can come find me for a drink in the orchard anytime you want."
Mu Chen drove away.
His nonchalant attitude left A-Kang and the others speechless for a long time.
After a moment, the young man who was about the same age as A-Kang said, "A-Chen is two or three years younger than us, yet he is so accomplished. Although what he just said was short, every word was precious to us."
"Achen is the pride of our Miao people!"
"Yes, only Ah Chen is worthy of the Holy Maiden."
"I heard that the Holy Maiden will be returning from Yanjing to participate in this year's Drumming Festival, and all the Miao men in our village will be going."
"Kang, we'll listen to you."
“You all listen to me, I'll listen to Ah Chen.”
Hahaha---
The Miao men burst into laughter.
Having already reached the halfway point, Mu Chen was completely unaware that his status within the Miao family had unknowingly risen several levels.
He drove slowly the whole way, and kept honking his horn on the curves.
Although there are no cars on this road, you will occasionally encounter a few motorcycles.
These days, anyone who can afford to ride a motorcycle is pretty good.
But ever since Heiwu Village and Quedong Village rose to prominence, those who owned motorcycles no longer dared to show off to everyone they met.
When they passed the slightly larger bend ahead, Mu Chen habitually turned his head to the side.
Because the Miao village in the mountain valley three or four kilometers to the right is the village where Mu Laoda became a son-in-law.
Back then, when Mu Chen and his group were widening the road, they were stopped at that very spot. Otherwise, they wouldn't have changed their route and taken this way, which would have benefited several villages here.
However, just as they turned the corner, they saw Uncle Arong's pickup truck parked in front of them.
About ten meters to the right of the cement road, a hundred strong Miao men were gathered together, making a ruckus. No one knew what had happened.
Although Mu Chen didn't honk his horn, his car was so eye-catching and imposing that it immediately attracted the attention of the Miao people.
Ah Rong's first thought was to move the car aside, because most people who drive such a domineering and luxurious car on this road are probably looking for Ah Chen.
But as soon as he got close, he saw Mu Chen waving at him from inside the Land Rover.
"Ah Chen? You're back from another province?"
Mu Chen nodded. "Uncle Arong, what are you doing here? What's going on over there?"
“It’s your uncle. He was beaten by the strong men in their village, and both of his hands were broken.”
As they spoke, Arong glanced at the car Mu Chen was driving; it was incredibly imposing.
Even Ah Zhuang, who ran over, circled the SUV with his eyes sparkling and asked, "Ah Chen, your car is amazing! Where did you get it?"
"Would you believe me if I said I stole Brother Zhuang?" Mu Chen asked with a half-smile.
"I don't believe you! You don't need those tens of thousands of yuan."
In A-Zhuang's mind, A-Rong's pickup truck was worth 80,000 yuan, so A-Chen's should be worth only a little over 100,000 yuan.
To his surprise, Uncle Rong kicked him and said, "Don't talk nonsense if you don't understand. This is a Range Rover, the latest model this year. Don't even think about getting it for less than 300,000."
"ah---"
Ah Zhuang gasped, feeling a wave of dizziness wash over him.
Three hundred thousand? That must be incredibly heavy.
"Brother Chen, is this another car from Tangtang Capital?" Gou Dan suddenly appeared out of nowhere.
"roll---"
Dog Egg was just asking tentatively when he was met with a slap from Mu Chen, which made the little bastard feel a sharp pain on the back of his neck.
"Haha, it's Tangtang's car again! There's a chance, there's a chance--" Although Gou Dan was in a lot of pain, he jumped and bounced around, looking quite funny.
Mu Chen wanted to get out of the car and teach this kid a lesson, but he didn't expect Uncle A Rong to make the first move.
"Brother Zhuang, how did Boss Mu get beaten up?"
Ah Zhuang made a "serves me right" face and said, "It's been a bit of a mess, and I just figured it out myself! It's about how Boss Mu borrowed someone else's ox to plow the field, and the ox suddenly became critically ill, foaming at the mouth. They tried to force-feed it medicine, but it didn't work."
"Is Boss Mu surrounded in the middle?"
"Hmm! Your aunt hasn't even shown her face, only your cousin is begging the people in the village to let Boss Mu go. Ah Chen, what do you think about this... should we get involved?"
Why are you meddling?
Ah Zhuang rested his hands on the car window and whispered, "Anyway, the people in Boss Mu's village only give us face now. As long as we step in, this matter can be settled."
"Can we break even without losing money?"
"That won't do! We'll just stop breaking Boss Mu's legs! Ah Chen, if you were to step in, this would be much simpler."
"Am I crazy to step in and deal with that ingrate, Boss Mu?"
Mu Chen didn't even want to get out of the car. How could he possibly help this ungrateful wretch?
But Ah Zhuang said, "Your cousin is quite pitiful. She has already knelt down before those aunties! Uncle Ah Rong and I stayed here to see if these people would curse you too."
"I got scolded too?"
"They wouldn't dare! As soon as the Holy Maiden returns, you'll be all set—hehe, just kidding."
Ah Zhuang walked away with a smile, while Mu Chen rolled his eyes.
At this moment, Uncle Rong came to the car door and asked, "Achen, if you don't want to get involved in this, go ahead and I'll make way for you."
"Does Uncle Arong think I should interfere?"
"Brother Mu isn't worth your time, but your cousin is... quite aggrieved, she even bruised her forehead from hitting her head."
