The woman's filial piety touched Lin Yu.
Lin Yu decided to help this woman.
Feng Jiu reluctantly carried the bamboo leaf green on her back and walked towards where the car had been parked.
However, by the time the three returned to the original location of the bus, it had already driven away.
"These bastards are so heartless!" Zhu Yeqing said indignantly.
There were so many men in the car, and not only did they stand by and watch someone die, they actually drove off. They have absolutely no sense of morality.
Zhu Yeqing grew up in a gang and takes a strong sense of morality.
Outsiders only know that the Green Gang is a triad society, but they don't know that the rules of the triad are very strict and the moral standards are much higher than those of ordinary people.
There's a saying that goes something like this: A hooligan isn't scary, what's scary is a hooligan with culture!
It is precisely because of so many talented people that the Green Gang has been able to reach where it is today and become the largest gang in the Great Xia Dynasty.
"Forget it, since they know your route, continuing will only cause trouble. Let's take another route!" Lin Yu suggested.
He wasn't afraid of petty thieves and assassins, but he didn't want trouble, much less get involved in the internal strife of this woman's family.
Left with no other option, the three had to find the nearest town.
After walking for about twenty miles, we finally arrived at a small town.
The town was quite remote, and it was dozens of miles to the nearest station. Lin Yu simply had Feng Jiu buy a minivan at a high price, and the three of them continued their journey to Jinling in the minivan.
The mountain road was difficult to travel, and we had to stop and go along the way until we got on the highway, which made the journey a bit smoother.
Along the way, Lin Yu intermittently applied medicine and performed acupuncture on Zhu Ye Qing. A ruptured aorta could potentially leave lasting consequences if not properly cared for.
Fortunately, Lin Yu's ointment was very effective, and the wound healed almost completely in about a day.
During treatment, it is inevitable to come into contact with the sensitive areas of the bamboo viper, which makes the bamboo viper extremely embarrassed every time.
You should know that she has always been aloof since she was a child, and apart from her grandfather, she has never been touched by any man.
Suddenly, a strange feeling arose in my heart, and even looking at Lin Yu became exceptionally pleasing to the eye.
Lin Yu didn't notice, but Feng Jiu saw everything clearly from the side and prayed that Jinling would arrive quickly, otherwise her wife would have another rival in love!
Finally, after driving for another half day, we arrived in Nanjing. We drove on a national highway for a while.
However, after driving for a while, a checkpoint suddenly appeared in the middle of the road.
Feng Jiu was immediately puzzled, "What's going on? National highways are charging tolls now?"
The road was already jammed with vehicles.
After Feng Jiu got out of the car, the other drivers were already arguing with the staff at the checkpoint ahead.
"This is a national highway, not an expressway. Who gave you permission to set up a checkpoint?"
"What you're doing is illegal!"
"Toll collection on national highways, isn't that ripping off ordinary people?"
A man with an eagle-like face dressed in road sportswear, accompanied by several of his men, walked out of the guard post with stun batons in a menacing manner.
"Stop yelling! Can't you see our uniforms? They're government-issued! This is a newly issued national regulation; tolls are about to be introduced on the national highways. This is a pilot post. So, all of you, hurry up and pay up, and stop talking nonsense!"
Although he claims to be a public official, he doesn't act like one at all. He's foul-mouthed and a low-class slicker.
Isn't this just being a scoundrel and a rogue?
But the fact that someone can sit here openly and honestly dressed means they must have connections and backing. A bunch of ordinary people really don't dare to say anything.
Some people in a hurry to leave couldn't stand it and just scanned the code.
Some were truck drivers, working for others, and they didn't want to be paid this unfair fee. Some called their contacts, others called the highway hotline, questioning the legitimacy of the checkpoint toll.
But the problem cannot be solved in a short time.
Feng Jiu walked back to the van and reported the situation to Lin Yu.
Zhu Yeqing sneered, "The toll policy for the national highway hasn't been officially issued yet. This checkpoint is completely illegal. Someone is definitely using this as an excuse to make money off themselves. I've seen this kind of thing a lot in Jinling!"
Lin Yu glanced at her in surprise, "You know so much about this?"
Zhu Yeqing said calmly, "Of course I understand. Although I grew up in Shanghai, Nanjing is my hometown. Don't underestimate Nanjing just because it's a small place. The waters here run much deeper than you think. The hierarchical and bureaucratic systems here are even more complex than those in Yandu. This place is the domain of those in power. The world inside and outside the system is completely different! Officials and military personnel, as long as they have a certain class, can be superior to others and exploit the people!"
"Nanjing is unlike the surrounding cities. It's not a paradise for migrant workers. Here, everything costs money, the cost of living is high, and the wages are low! Of course, this is also a kind of selection. As the saying goes, Nanjing doesn't keep useless people. Either you become a high-class slave here, or you can't pay the rent and have to leave in disgrace. This city hasn't changed for thousands of years. It doesn't have that much tolerance and has always been lukewarm!"
"You, from a certain social class, still care about ordinary people?" Lin Yu asked curiously.
Zhu Yeqing glanced at him and said, "What are you talking about? I'm just an ordinary citizen too. Our Green Gang also does business here, but it's been eaten up by officials and those in power! Of course, I don't care about this little bit of business. I just consider it as supporting those masters and building connections!"
Lin Yu frowned. "Now that you mention it, the water really is quite deep!"
"Heh, what do you think?" Zhu Yeqing couldn't help but curl her lips. "I'll bet you, this outpost is either under the control of a local lord or a battalion. You don't believe me? Try it!"
Lin Yu didn't want to cause any trouble, but seeing her confident look, he couldn't help but want to give it a try.
"Feng Jiu, drive the car over there. If he dares to block the way, break the barrier!" Lin Yu ordered directly.
Feng Jiu nodded, "Yes, Young Marshal!"
Feng Jiu, not one to tolerate illness, drove the van straight toward the checkpoint.
Just then, the man with the eagle face was arguing with several drivers when a van came rushing towards them without slowing down.
"You son of a bitch, you're fucking insane! How dare you try to break through the checkpoint! Stop right there!"
The hawk-faced man and his men blocked the checkpoint, thinking the van was just putting on a show and wouldn't actually dare to ram them. But he miscalculated; the beat-up van didn't slow down at all and just rammed straight into them.
"Damn it, get out of the way!"
The eagle-faced man shouted, trying to get everyone out of the way, but it was too late. Although several men tried to dodge, they were still grazed and sent flying. Bang! The van crashed straight into the railing with a loud noise, and the railing broke off.
However, the van started smoking at this point and stalled completely!
Everyone present was stunned by what they saw.
