Mountain village beauty: Brother, don't stop!

Chapter 90: Chapter 90 Bullying to the Doorstep

"Wang Hao, where are you headed?"

Sun Lao Er asked with a smile.

"I’m off to the county town to take care of some business. Are you on your way to collect protection fees?"

Wang Hao teased.

"Hop in, we’re heading to the county as well. We can give you a ride!"

After hearing this, Sun Lao Er waved Wang Hao into the car.

Glancing at the backseat, Wang Hao noticed that Gao Ye was also in the car.

"Gao Ye is here too!"

"Get in, we’re going the same way."

Upon seeing Wang Hao, Gao Ye also invited him to join them on the ride to the county town.

Wang Hao couldn’t refuse, so he got into the car.

Although the exterior of the car looked a bit old, once inside, he found that the interior was quite new; the seats were made of real leather and were extremely comfortable.

Wang Hao took a glance at the cockpit and noticed a dash cam, car stereo, and other well-appointed accessories.

It seemed that this seemingly old sedan was as well-equipped as any luxury car on the inside.

Initially, Wang Hao was curious why Gao Ye, who ran a gambling stall, would drive such a worn-out vehicle.

Now, it seemed, it was for the sake of keeping a low profile.

"Wang Hao, why don’t you get yourself a car? It would make getting around a lot easier!" ƒreewebηoveℓ.com

In fact, Gao Ye had already thoroughly investigated Wang Hao’s background, and was merely testing him on purpose.

"I don’t have a driver’s license yet, and besides, I don’t have the money to buy a car."

Wang Hao casually brushed it off, though he had long thought about buying a car, as it would indeed be more convenient for running errands.

"You little rascal, still pretending in front of me!"

Gao Ye pointed at Wang Hao’s nose and laughed, "You’ve invested all your money in the greenhouse, haven’t you? I’ve also heard that you’ve opened a company in the county. And here you are saying you’ve got no money?"

Since Gao Ye dared to run a gambling stall, naturally he had extensive connections; it only took him a moment to find out about Wang Hao.

Gao Ye’s detailed knowledge of his circumstances did not surprise Wang Hao at all; on the contrary, it made him feel somewhat reassured.

"Where can I ever have as much money as you, Gao Ye?"

Wang Hao, not wishing to continue the topic, changed the subject.

"Gao Ye, what exactly are you going to do in the county town? Is there anything I can help with?"

"Didn’t you say it yourself? We’re going to collect protection fees. If you really want to help, later on I’ll hand you a stick, and you can come help us intimidate and beat people!"

Sun Lao Er interjected, pretending to be serious.

"Cut it out, you guys just love to joke with me. As if collecting protection fees is something for the two of you to personally handle."

Wang Hao laughed as he saw through Sun Lao Er’s jest.

"The world isn’t what it used to be. If we were really collecting protection fees, none of you would escape!"

"You cheeky kid, you sure know a lot, huh!"

Sun Lao Er, realizing he had been outed, didn’t get angry but instead burst into hearty laughter.

Wang Hao could tell that Sun Lao Er was unusually happy today, so he deduced that their trip to the county town must be for something good.

"Lao Er, what’s got you so happy today?"

Wang Hao couldn’t help but ask.

"Our Old Three is coming back. Shouldn’t I be happy?"

Sun Lao Er was grinning ear to ear with joy.

"Who is Old Three?"

Wang Hao was a bit confused, as he had never heard of this person and hadn’t seen them at the gambling stall either.

"Lao Er!"

Seeing that Sun Lao Er couldn’t keep his mouth shut, Gao Ye sternly chided him.

"Big brother, Wang Hao is one of us now, what’s there to worry about?"

Ever since the last incident, Sun Lao Er had completely treated Wang Hao as a brother of his own.

"I didn’t mean anything by it, I just want to say that Wang Hao’s business has just started to pick up, and with the third brother just out of prison, we shouldn’t let him hear any bad luck that might affect his business."

Gao Ye sighed as he explained.

"Gao Ye, you’re being too formal. A business’s success depends entirely on goodwill, and just like the friendship between brothers, it needs to be maintained with sincerity,"

Wang Hao said earnestly.

"You should have told me earlier so I could have prepared a gift for the third brother."

"Wang Hao, brother, your thoughtfulness is enough, no need for gifts."

Gao Ye smiled and patted Wang Hao on the shoulder, his appreciation for Wang Hao growing.

Sun Lao San had previously been a sworn brother of Gao Ye, managing the gambling business together and holding the third rank there. He was imprisoned five years ago, and at that time, the commotion was quite big.

Wang Hao suddenly remembered that it seemed to have happened, as if a life was lost, so Sun Lao San got sent away and couldn’t even be bailed out awaiting trial.

Time flies quickly, and before you know it, Sun Lao San has already spent five years inside.

Having bumped into them, Wang Hao thought about joining them to pick up Sun Lao San, but Gao Ye wouldn’t allow it.

At the intersection to Wang Hao’s company, they dropped him off.

No sooner had Wang Hao turned around than he saw someone had splashed paint on his company’s sign, and several strong men were arguing loudly at the entrance.

"Pretty lady, you haven’t paid back our money, and now you can afford a new storefront? Don’t tell me you’re thinking of skipping out on your debt!"

The blond-haired man who had been with Zhou Mazi the day before finished speaking and splashed another bucket of paint on the storefront, shouting at Xia Xue inside.

"You bunch of good-for-nothing hoodlums, I’ve already paid off my debts!"

Xia Xue said angrily.

"Paid off my ass!"

The blond man pushed against the glass door of the shop and pointed at Xia Xue’s nose, shouting aggressively.

"You only paid off the loan last time, you still owe me interest!"

"What interest do I owe you? Don’t spout nonsense here!"

Xia Xue yelled back, anger mixed with fear in her heart.

"Bitch, running around for you last time to pay off those debts, I don’t know how much I spent just in travel expenses. Shouldn’t you compensate me a bit?"

The blond man looked like he was asking for a beating, his eyes shifting cunningly as he stared at Xia Xue, a sneer on his lips, and he added.

"No money to pay back? No need to worry, how about you keep me company for one night, make sure I’m satisfied, and we can call it even!"

"Oh, so you’re feeling frisky, huh? Well then, I’ll join you. How about that?"

At this moment, Wang Hao had already arrived behind the seventh brother, but the man was completely oblivious.

Startled by Wang Hao’s voice, seventh brother quickly turned and pointed at Wang Hao, cursing.

"Where did this fucking punk come from? Got a death wish?"

Before the seventh brother could react, Wang Hao grabbed him by the collar and flung him seven or eight meters away with a swing of his arm.

The few men that seventh brother brought with him were so frightened that they did not dare to approach and hurried out to help him up.

Wang Hao was also shocked, he had only practiced with Su Zhenping for a while, but hadn’t expected his strength and speed to have become so formidable.

Previously he hadn’t tried out his skills, just feeling the dragon tattoos on his chest become increasingly lively, and only upon taking action today had he realized how powerful he had become.

"This guy’s tough!"

Sun Lao Er, seeing a crowd gathering at Wang Hao’s storefront and not in a rush to leave, worried about a potential ruckus and thinking he might help, couldn’t help but be impressed after seeing Wang Hao’s moves.

"Isn’t that a move from the Five Animals Perform?"

After hearing this, Gao Ye just smiled and remained silent, feeling inside that Wang Hao was a dark horse, capable of great things in the future!

"Mazi, you never said this kid was so skilled in martial arts!"

The corner was crowded with a dozen or so thugs crouching behind Zhou Mazi, and seeing Wang Hao launch seventh brother into the air with a single move, they were all scared pale.

"What’s there to be scared of?"

Zhou Mazi cursed irritably.

"Didn’t you see he’s unarmed? Can even the toughest fists beat real blades and clubs? Besides, he’s just one guy, and we have so many. Are we afraid we can’t take him down? Arm yourselves!"

With that, Zhou Mazi threw out a sack, opened it to reveal it was filled with steel pipes, cleavers, and other tools.

Everyone picked up a tool, and Zhou Mazi bellowed.

"Attack! Beat him to death! I’ll take responsibility if he dies!"
