While Chen Haoxuan was wandering around the village, his phone suddenly rang. He took out his phone and pressed the answer button. "Hello, who is this?" Chen Haoxuan asked.
A hurried voice came from the phone. "Xuan, it's me, Lao Zhao. You need to call someone quickly; a group of over ten people has blocked our truck carrying bamboo. They are robbing Chen Yuebin of his money. It looks like they are bandits." Farmers usually don't think to call the police first; they instinctively reach out to acquaintances when something happens.
"Where are you now?" Chen Haoxuan asked anxiously.
"We're not far from the Curve intersection." Curve is a place name.
"I understand. I'll bring people over right away." Chen Haoxuan hung up and ran back home, shouting loudly for everyone to come out because he had something very important to discuss.
Lin Hao and the others quickly ran up to Chen Haoxuan, and Wang Long's construction workers also gathered around him. "Boss Chen, what happened?" Yang Lin asked urgently.
"My goods were robbed at the Curve, and now all of you need to come with me. When we get back, I'll treat you to drinks," Chen Haoxuan said loudly.
"Lin Hao, you all get in my car," Chen Haoxuan waved to Lin Hao and the others.
As for whether the construction workers would follow, Chen Haoxuan didn't know; he had no authority to command them. He needed to get to the Curve quickly; if he delayed, he worried that something might happen to Chen Yuebin.
After Lin Hao and the others got into the car, Chen Haoxuan slammed on the gas pedal, and the BMW surged forward at high speed. In no time at all, they had left Chen Family Village. Inside the car, Lin Hao and the others held tightly onto their seats, fearing they might be thrown out.
The foreman who was helping Chen Haoxuan build a villa knew that their boss was close with him. Now that Chen Haoxuan was in trouble, they dared not refuse to help. So the foreman led about a hundred construction workers in a Dongfeng Truck to chase after Chen Haoxuan.
The Curve wasn't far from Chen Family Village; it only took about ten minutes by car. Now that Chen Haoxuan had pushed his speed to the limit, they arrived in no time. When Chen Haoxuan saw a Dongfeng Truck stopped in the middle of the road not far away, he recognized it as the truck he had hired because it was loaded with bamboo.
Chen Haoxuan slammed the steering wheel and hit the brakes, causing the car to skid sideways with a screeching sound. It finally came to a stop after sliding five meters. Only someone like Chen Haoxuan, who came from the future, would dare to brake like that.
As soon as Chen Haoxuan's car stopped, he immediately opened the door and ran out. He saw Chen Yuebin being beaten by a group of people. On the roadside, several villagers from Chen Family Village stood by, staring blankly at the scene. They all had injuries on them, clearly having been attacked as well.
Without a moment to think, Chen Haoxuan rushed towards Chen Yuebin. He pushed off the ground with his feet and leaped into the air, delivering a flying kick to one of the thugs' chest. The thug didn't even have time to scream before he was sent flying backward, landing about ten meters away and not getting up again; he had been knocked out by Chen Haoxuan's kick.
After kicking the thug, Chen Haoxuan spun in mid-air, his head down and feet up. He quickly supported himself with his hands on the ground, spreading his legs in a split position and rotating rapidly. The thugs surrounding Chen Yuebin were caught off guard and several were swept down by Chen Haoxuan's whirlwind kick.
The thugs surrounding Chen Yuebin unwittingly created some space, encircling both Chen Haoxuan and Chen Yuebin. "Kid, you must be Chen Haoxuan, right? Damn it, are you stupid? Knowing we haven't left yet, you dare to come here," shouted a tall thug in a floral shirt. His name was Li Kun, a gang leader with over ten underlings who lived by stealing, robbing, and scamming. They had a notorious reputation in Pingyuan County, and most people avoided associating with them unless they were also involved in illegal activities.
They had come after hearing about Chen Haoxuan's wealth; his subordinates often went out to buy bamboo and would carry tens of thousands of yuan with them while driving a Dongfeng Truck. This was quite tempting for thugs like them. So they set up an ambush for Chen Yuebin and his group by parking their cars in the middle of the road. When they saw Chen Yuebin's car approaching, they pretended to be injured on the highway while others tried to block Chen Yuebin's vehicle and ask for help.
Chen Yuebin was inherently kind-hearted; without thinking twice, he jumped out of the car to help. However, as soon as he got out, he was grabbed and brutally beaten.
Whenever Chen Yuebin went out to buy bamboo, he would bring along several villagers from Chen Family Village to help load the truck. There were five of them in total, but facing over ten fierce thugs left them too scared to fight back. Fortunately, one villager named Chen Zhao managed to escape and sought help from Chen Haoxuan; otherwise, no one could predict what would happen to Chen Yuebin and the others.
Chen Haoxuan seemed not to hear Li Kun's words; instead, he focused on the injured Chen Yuebin lying on the ground and asked, "Uncle, are you okay?"
Just as Chen Yuebin was about to respond, he unexpectedly spat out blood before he could say anything.
"Damn it," cursed Chen Haoxuan angrily. He turned around and shouted loudly, "Lin Hao! Are you guys dead? If not, then go teach them a lesson! I'll take responsibility if anything happens."
Lin Hao and his group were soldiers but didn't possess skills as good as Chen Haoxuan's. Moreover, due to the high speed at which Chen Haoxuan had just driven, they felt a bit carsick and were slow to get out of the car.
Actually, it was Chen Haoxuan's speed that was too fast; in just a few seconds, he knocked out one thug and injured several others, which made Lin Hao and the others seem slow.
Since Lin Hao and his group arrived in a hurry without weapons, upon hearing Chen Haoxuan's words, they charged at the thugs like wolves.
"Brothers, take them down!" Li Kun shouted.
His underlings went to confront Lin Hao and Gunfight, while he stayed behind. With a lewd grin, he said to Chen Haoxuan, "Pretty boy, if you give me one million RMB, I'll let you go. What do you say?"
Chen Haoxuan took out his phone and dialed 120.
Li Kun thought Chen Haoxuan was trying to call the police, so he quickly reached out to grab Chen Haoxuan's phone. In response, Chen Haoxuan swung his hand and punched Li Kun in the face while kicking towards Li Kun's groin.
"Oh my god." Li Kun covered his groin; he was hit by Chen Haoxuan's kick, and the intense pain left him unable to even scream.
After calling for an ambulance, Chen Haoxuan put his phone back in his pocket and walked up to Li Kun, coldly asking, "Who sent you?" Since such incidents generally do not occur among villagers, Chen Haoxuan suspected that Li Kun was acting under orders.
