Chapter 173 No Dragon Can Cross the River



Finally, Chu Xi got out of the car slowly amid the expectant gazes of the other hermits on the mountain.

From a distance, one could see a long leg stretched out from the driver's seat. A pair of trousers that looked like jeans from the future showed off the long leg to the fullest. Then, a very common but very beautiful long-sleeved shirt was casually tied at the lower abdomen, and the natural and casual temperament was immediately revealed. Add to that the hand-woven sun hat that Chu Xi casually wore, which was a hot-selling handmade straw hat in the future, and she looked like a dashing cowboy...

Everyone hadn't expected that the driver who had just driven so wildly was actually such a heroic and beautiful woman. Suddenly, everyone's eyes changed, as if a big bad wolf had seen a little white rabbit. They even gave each other looks that said, "This is my dish, forget it..." They began to become hostile to each other...

Only Gao Shi came forward with a calm expression but a hint of joy in his heart. In fact, he was also very surprised. He had known that this woman was not simple, but he did not expect that she could drive such a high-end military vehicle out for fun at will. It seemed that he had to give her a higher regard...

"Chu Xi, why are you here? Are you looking for me?"

Hearing Gao Shi's seemingly casual words, the eyes of several second-generation officials and rich people nearby lit up instantly.

"Chu Xi? What a nice name!"

Looking for Gao Shi, then I have a chance. Isn't this Gao Shi just a peasant who got into this circle only because he had some spare money and saved someone...

Several young men rushed to Chu Xi's side amidst the resentful gazes of the two women behind them.

"Hello, beautiful lady. You must have worked hard on this journey. Come over here and take a rest..."

"Beauty, Gao Shi is my brother, and his friends are my friends. If you need anything in the future, just call me and I promise to get it done for you..."

"Beauty, we are having barbecue, would you like some..."

"Why are you so shameless? Let's first listen to the beauty's purpose. She must be in such a hurry because something must have happened. Let's see if we can help..."

A group of people were chattering and arguing loudly. In the end, Gao Shi came out to stop them and took Chu Xi aside.

"I really need your help this time. I have a friend who's in the black market like you, Wang Tao from the west of the city. You should have heard of him. He was arrested yesterday and is being held in the courtyard of some revolutionary committee. I'd like you to help me find out if there's any way to get him out..."

Chu Xi didn't hold back and told him everything in one breath. After all, she came here to find him, so she didn't want to waste time and save him from asking how she found him. It was hard to say...

"So Wang Tao is also your friend. No wonder I heard that he has a lot of goods and they are famous for their high quality. I guess you are the source of the goods. Let me think about it..."

He didn't mention any nonsense about colleagues being enemies. After all, he and Chu Xi were doing business together, and they were true friends. The fact that she had gone to such great lengths to find him showed that she had indeed encountered difficulties. A little kindness will be followed by a great debt of gratitude. If you don't help a friend in need, then you are not a true friend. You probably can forget about doing business with him in the future.

Besides, with his personality, he believes that a true friend is someone who shares happiness and hardships with him.

At least you should try your best and have no regrets.

After thinking for a while, he waved to Chu Xi and asked her to wait a moment, then after a little hesitation, he walked to a tree behind the crowd. It turned out that there was a person lying there.

Chu Xi noticed Gao Shi's hesitation. Was he worried about something or something? She could only ask him later. She just hoped he hadn't sacrificed too much...

The matter was of great importance, so Chu Xi unleashed his mental power without hesitation.

But at the very back, a young man with a rather smart appearance and attire was lying there, holding a piece of grass in his mouth. He had a carefree and contented expression on his face, and his slightly closed eyes seemed to be enjoying the fresh air of the mountain...

"Master Wang, I haven't seen you eat any barbecue for a long time. Aren't you hungry?"

"I don't want to eat it. It's a pity that we didn't catch any wild goats or rabbits. The elk meat isn't tasty and a bit tough..."

Gao Shi was speechless. Half the people in this county were still wondering what they would eat tomorrow, and you've already started to dislike meat? It's true that the rich are feasting and drinking, while the poor are freezing to death on the streets...

"Young Master Wang, a friend of mine is in trouble. He was taken away by the Revolutionary Committee yesterday. Can you help me think of a solution?"

Gao Shi also knew the temper of the man in front of him, so he told him the whole story directly. People who could help were generally very loyal and would not refuse, not to mention that he had saved him once.

As expected, "The Revolutionary Committee? They're a tough bunch, but your friend must have offended someone, or got something that made someone jealous."

As he spoke, Young Master Wang slowly opened his eyes. His deep gaze made Gao Shi feel a little guilty, but why should he feel guilty? He probably thought that Wang Tao was being coveted by others for the supply of goods he had...

But then Young Master Wang said casually,

"I heard that the person from the city came here suddenly. I wonder if there's something going on or if he's targeting someone?"

"So, I guess I can't help much with this matter. After all, my skills are only effective in this small county. Now that a dragon from across the river has arrived, even a small local snake like me has to bow down..."

After listening to the words, Gao Shi already understood a little bit and thanked him quickly.

"I still have to thank Master Wang, otherwise I wouldn't even know what went wrong. Next time, next time I'll set up another game, Master, you'll definitely come and show me your support!"

"Okay, I'll wait for you. Don't play dumb with me."

"Don't worry, I, Gao Shi, can do the job for you! We have a great reputation."

After saying this, Gao Shi hurried over to Chu Xi's side. Chu Xi also listened to the entire conversation and understood the identity of this young master Wang. After all, she was isolated and had no information channels, but even the intelligence station at the village entrance knew that the number one in the county was also surnamed Wang...

The two of them exchanged a few words before Chu Xi waved goodbye and left gracefully. However, it seemed as if she had taken the hearts of the young men away with her. They all looked at Gao Shi with some resentment. After all, these men hadn't even told the goddess their names...

Chu Xi, who was thinking as he walked, finally found some clues about what was going on. It seemed that the final answer still lay with the "dragon crossing the river" who came here to supervise and inspect the work.

We still have to wait and see whether this is a diamond dragon or a mud dragon...
