Chapter 384 I am the God of this World
The slender woman was pushed to the ground by him, her elbows scraped raw by the rough asphalt road, her face contorted in pain.
Someone quickly stepped forward to help her up.
Sun Quan threw a punch at Zhang Yan's face, but was instead kicked in the chest by the opponent's flying kick, knocking him to the ground.
Enraged, Sun Quan roared at the crowd behind him, "What are you all standing there for? This outsider dares to cause trouble on our turf, we have to teach him a lesson!"
"Who are you going to teach a lesson to?" Zhao Lan suddenly asked, her voice sounding tired.
Sun Quan was taken aback, not expecting Zhao Lan to return so quickly.
He preemptively accused Zhang Yan, pointing at him and saying, "Captain, you're finally back! This man trespassed on the convoy and injured someone; we can't let this go unpunished!"
Someone in the crowd, unable to stand it any longer, whispered the truth: "Aren't you just making baseless accusations? You were the one who started it..."
Sun Quan glared fiercely at the woman who spoke up for Zhang Yan: "He trespassed on the convoy, and I had no choice but to intervene for everyone's safety!"
Some people remain silent, choosing to protect themselves.
Sun Quan is petty and holds grudges; offending him for Zhang Yan's sake would be a losing proposition.
Sun Quan was certain that the people in the convoy wouldn't dare tell the truth, so he blatantly distorted the facts.
He glared at her, and the woman's voice lowered a little, but she still said, "He came to see the captain. The captain wasn't here, and he was going to leave. You were the one who encouraged everyone to replace Captain Zhao. He stood up and said a few fair words, and you've held a grudge against him."
Zhang Yan glanced at the woman with some surprise, not expecting her to be willing to speak up for him.
Based on what he just saw, he still thought that the convoy was full of selfish people.
It seems that his thinking is also biased.
There are indeed evil people, but there are also good people.
A sense of relief welled up inside him, not for himself, but for Zhao Lan, relieved that her kindness had not been in vain.
Sun Quan, however, looked at the woman with a murderous gaze: "Captain, don't believe her. She's just spouting nonsense!"
Zhao Lan sighed almost inaudibly: "Sun Quan, do you really want the captain's position that badly?"
Sun Quan looked embarrassed, his lips moved but he didn't say anything.
He really wanted it and couldn't bring himself to deny it.
Zhao Lan looked at the crowd and said loudly, "Listen up, everyone. I am now resigning from my position as captain. From now on, Sun Quan will be the captain of the team."
Her words immediately caused a stir among the crowd.
"Huh? But you've been doing a great job as captain, leading us all the way to where we are now. How can you just resign like that?"
"Yes, this is so sudden!"
"Wasn't the selection of the new captain too hasty? Shouldn't everyone have discussed it together?"
The crowd that had been silent for a while was finally no longer mute.
They worried that their situation would become even more difficult once the team was led by Sun Quan.
Sun Quan was the only one who was happy: "Since the captain has said so, then I will respectfully comply."
The excitement on his face was obvious even to a blind man.
Zhao Lan turned and left, and the only woman who had spoken up for Zhang Yan earlier limped after her.
"Captain, where are you going?" she asked anxiously. "This is the convoy you built from scratch, are you just going to hand it over to someone else like that?"
Zhao Lan said gently, "Sister Fang, you should also leave the car team as soon as possible."
Actually, this idea wasn't just a spur-of-the-moment decision.
As the number of people in the team increased, more and more people formed cliques within the team. She was busy making money all day and couldn't manage the friction between those small groups.
Rather than watching the team he built from scratch be destroyed, it's better to withdraw sooner rather than later.
With Sun Quan taking over the convoy, Fang Jie would be in dire straits even if she didn't leave.
Fangjie said firmly, "You saved me back then, so my life belongs to you. Wherever you go, I will go."
After saying that, she looked at Zhao Lan somewhat nervously, "Would you be willing to let me come with you?"
She wasn't well-educated, but she knew the importance of gratitude.
Zhao Lan saved her, and she will always follow Zhao Lan. She is willing to do anything to repay Zhao Lan's kindness.
But if Zhao Lan finds her following a nuisance, then she won't appear in front of her.
Zhao Lan grasped Fang Jie's somewhat rough hand: "Okay."
"Zhao Lan, wait a minute!" Sun Quan's voice rang out from behind. "Since you're no longer the team leader, return everyone's money. That money isn't yours; it's just temporarily held by you."
Fangjie was so angry that her body was trembling: "Sun Quan, you are shameless! Why don't you tell us how much money Captain Zhao spent on everyone?"
When we first entered this map, almost everyone couldn't even afford the basic daily expenses.
If it weren't for Zhao Lan's generous donation, these people wouldn't be alive today.
Now Sun Quan actually has the nerve to ask Zhao Lan for money?
Have you lost your conscience?
Sun Quan sneered, "She gave that money voluntarily back then; no one forced her. But now the money belongs to everyone. If she doesn't hand it over today, she can forget about leaving here!"
Zhang Yan was so angry that he rolled up his sleeves: "I'm going to teach this ungrateful bastard a lesson today!"
Zhao Lan grabbed him and looked at Sun Quan, saying, "Everyone's money spent on farming the tower every day is not enough to cover expenses; there's no surplus."
The team had dozens of people, all of whom were disabled. The money they earned from clearing towers was far from enough to cover the team's daily expenses, and she even had to cover the shortfall herself.
She still has a dozen or so gold coins in her account, all of which are hers.
Sun Quan: "Do you think I'm stupid? Our brothers have been working themselves to the bone with you, and you just dismiss us with a 'we're not making ends meet' excuse? Hand over the money now, or don't blame me for being ruthless!"
Zhao Lan approached him step by step and whispered something. The color drained from Sun Quan's face instantly, and he looked at her in horror.
Zhao Lan asked again, "Can I leave now?"
Sun Quan nodded repeatedly in terror, looking at her as if she were someone who could take his life at any moment.
Zhao Lan and the other two quickly drove away.
After walking quite a distance, Zhang Yan couldn't contain his curiosity and sent a message to Zhao Lan, asking her what she had just talked about with Sun Quan.
Zhao Lan didn't know if she was joking or serious: "I told him that I am the god of this world, and he cannot bear the consequences of going against the will of the god."
"laugh--"
A sudden screech of brakes rang out.
Zhang Yan's car braked suddenly.
Fang Jie and Zhao Lan, who were following behind him, almost lost control of the car and caused a chain-reaction car accident.
Fangjie was the first to get out of the car, and she started cursing at Zhang Yan: "Young man, how can you drive like this?"
Her car was in the middle; if Zhao Lan hadn't braked in time, she would have been sandwiched in the middle.
Zhang Yan jumped out of the car, gave Fang Jie a few perfunctory words, rushed to Zhao Lan's car, looked at her and asked, "What you just said, were you being abstract?"
Good heavens, he had no idea Zhao Lan was such an abstract person.
