Chapter 48 The Big Shovel is Here!



Just then, someone gave Qian Wenqing a push, "Hurry up, quick!"

Qian Wenqing glanced back at him, but dared not say anything.

That man was holding a dagger; who knows if he might provoke someone and cause a death?

Xu Xiangyang glanced at the person who spoke with surprise, but it was just a glance; if he looked at him more often, he would be noticed.

These people were all masked, so it was really impossible to tell who looked what.

He saw that everyone else was walking towards the car, so he followed them, but always kept a distance of more than a meter.

This distance is safe for him; he can advance or retreat at will.

Qian Wenqing was somewhat nervous, and he couldn't calm down while holding the key in his hand, so he couldn't open the lock.

The leader got a little impatient and went up to him and punched him on the shoulder.

He then cursed and said, "Can't you even pick a lock? Do you want me to crack it open for you with a knife?"

Although this is a small path, no one can guarantee that someone won't pass by.

What if there's a convoy?

Xu Xiangyang frowned. These people were indeed not to be trifled with, but he couldn't back down like this.

Qian Wenqing, who was also beaten, was in no better shape. Although he resented them, he didn't dare to fight back.

Faced with so many people, and armed with controlled knives, who would dare to fight back?

He trembled, but he managed to open the truck door.

Seeing Qian Wenqing's cowardly appearance, the others immediately lowered their guard and didn't take them seriously at all.

While everyone was looking into the car, Xu Xiangyang took out a large iron shovel from his spatial storage!

That's right, it's a big iron shovel!

Big shovel: Forced to go online...

Because there weren't many useful tools in the space—just stun guns and controlled knives—Xu Xiangyang didn't want to cause any deaths and still wanted to be a good citizen, so…

I've had this big iron shovel by the gate for a long time, and I never thought I'd need it. I never expected it would come in handy today.

Taking advantage of this moment, Xu Xiangyang directly used a shovel to strike the man in the lead.

This man is the only one with a knife, and he's tall and strong, posing a threat. He must be dealt with first.

With a muffled thud, "Bang..."

The man in charge fell to the ground without uttering a sound.

It all happened so suddenly that no one else had time to react.

After Xu Xiangyang knocked down another person, the others finally came to their senses and quickly ran away in fright.

That's right, it went too far.

They had five men left, but none of them dared to fight back; they just ran away.

Qian Wenqing stood there, stunned. Seeing that everyone had run away, he looked helplessly at Xu Xiangyang.

"What are you all standing there for?! Lock the door and get in the car!" Xu Xiangyang shouted, then took the shovel and got into the driver's seat first.

This person is still slacking off, not even bothering to run away.

Qian Wenqing quickly nodded, locked the door, and climbed into the car, one step at a time.

He was still in shock; he hadn't figured out what had just happened with Xu Xiangyang.

Anyway, everything's alright now, and the stuff is safe!

After he got in the car, Xu Xiangyang started the engine. The two of them quickly left and headed back via the main road.

When the people who had run away returned to their original spot, there were no cars left on the road.

They quickly carried the person back; they were really in trouble this time. They never expected those two people to be so bold.

Actually, they were all hotheads. They mainly relied on the courage of their leader. Now that the leader is gone, how dare they chase after people and beat them up?

On the other side, Xu Xiangyang breathed a sigh of relief after driving into a town.

I've encountered this situation before when I was in the transportation business, but back then it was mostly a matter of losing money to avoid trouble.

Things are different now. There are no security cameras now. If something is really stolen and the two of them drive back empty-handed, who knows what the boss will say?

Xu Xiangyang felt it was unnecessary to fire him for something like this.

I just got a job, I can't afford to lose it again.

Besides, he was confident in his abilities, which is why they underestimated him.

Qian Wenqing almost burst into tears, his voice trembling as he said, "Brother Xu, I..."

He had so much to say, but when he tried to speak, he had nothing left to say. What he had just witnessed was truly terrifying!

I'd heard stories of people getting carjacked before, but I never thought he'd experience it too!

Xu Xiangyang understood his thoughts; the child was indeed terrified.

Of course, an 18 or 19-year-old would be frightened in this situation.

Of course, Xu Xiangyang is an exception, since he's not really nineteen. Thinking back to when he was nineteen, he was still struggling to get into university and pay off his student loans.

"Alright, it's alright now!" He patted Qian Wenqing on the shoulder, as if to comfort him.

Qian Wenqing didn't say anything, mainly because he hadn't recovered yet.

This time, Xu Xiangyang drove himself, since the kid wasn't in good form and he didn't want to cause another car accident.

When Xu Xiangyang returned to his workplace late at night, he parked his car in the yard.

"I'm going back now," he said to Qian Wenqing.

Qian Wenqing wanted to stop him, but he was too embarrassed. Looking at the sky, he realized he would have to spend the night in the lounge.

Xu Xiangyang carried his things back home and went into his spatial dimension to take a hot shower first.

The company usually gives two days off for long-distance trips, so you don't need to go to work tomorrow.

He changed into his pajamas and lay in bed, thinking about what had happened that day.

It's not that they're afraid those people will come after them; after all, those people do shady things. If they want to openly cause trouble, they'd better think twice before they try to get away with it.

Xu Xiangyang recalled the young man who had threatened Qian Wenqing earlier. Although the man was masked, his voice was definitely the same.

He was one of the two people I met at the state-run restaurant.

No wonder these people managed to get a TV set; they probably robbed it.

Xu Xiangyang was unaware of these matters, but he didn't think much of it.

If it weren't for his good luck and quick reflexes, he and Qian Wenqing might have been in trouble today.

This grudge cannot go unpunished!

He pursed his lips, thinking that if anyone wanted to take advantage of him, they would have to pay a price.

The next morning, Xu Xiangyang changed his clothes and put on a wig.

With his hair parted in a 3/7 ratio, wearing a Zhongshan suit and leather shoes, and carrying a small bag, anyone who didn't know him would think he was a rich kid from some high-ranking family.

With that outfit, not to mention ordinary people, even the students in Class Two wouldn't be able to tell where he came from.

After getting dressed, Xu Xiangyang took a car directly to the mountain city.

There's a train to the mountain city here. Although it's not as fast as driving, at least you don't have to drive yourself.

Because he didn't have a letter of introduction, Xu Xiangyang bought a hard seat ticket, but he didn't sit in it. Instead, he stood in the connecting passageway of the train.

Taking a hard seat in this outfit? Wouldn't that make you a laughingstock?

No, his status doesn't allow him to do that.
