The next day, Chen Haoxuan woke up early and drove his BMW out to buy groceries. As he left, two vans and three motorcycles stealthily followed him.
Since it was early in the morning, there were very few people and vehicles on the road. Chen Haoxuan drove quite fast. When he passed an intersection, a man suddenly ran across the road from the nearby woods. Chen Haoxuan reacted quickly, sharply turning the steering wheel. His car drifted onto the other side of the road, the tires screeching against the pavement, and with a sudden stop, Chen Haoxuan's car came to a halt at the roadside.
Chen Haoxuan opened the car door and saw a person lying on the road; it was the same man who had just run out from the woods. Furrowing his brows, Chen Haoxuan suspected something was off. He clearly hadn’t hit that person, yet he lay motionless on the ground.
Looking around, Chen Haoxuan noticed there was no one else nearby. He slowly approached the man lying on the ground. Just as he got close, the man suddenly stood up, holding a handgun. He aimed it at Chen Haoxuan and coldly said, "Don't move. If you do, I'll kill you."
Chen Haoxuan remained calm; he had already realized this was a trap. He chose to walk into it because he wanted to see what the man intended to do. With a faint smile while being threatened at gunpoint, Chen Haoxuan asked, "What do you want? Are you trying to rob me or extort me?"
"Don't move; you'll find out soon enough," the man with the gun replied sternly.
From what the man said, Chen Haoxuan understood that he must have accomplices who hadn’t arrived yet. This was good news for him; if all of them had guns, it would pose a significant threat.
"Did someone hire you to kill me?" Chen Haoxuan inquired.
"No," replied the man pointing the gun at him.
"Do you really think a mere handgun can intimidate me?" Chen Haoxuan scoffed.
"Do you want to try? Let me tell you; you'd better behave. If you dare to act recklessly, I’ll shoot you dead."
"You've already lost your chance," Chen Haoxuan said coldly. With a flick of his right hand, a dagger hidden in his sleeve fell out—something he had prepared in case Chen Haorong sent someone to kill him, and now it came in handy. With his left hand swiftly reaching out, he grabbed the man's gun and inserted his finger into the trigger guard, preventing him from firing. At the same time, Chen Haoxuan swung his right hand and pressed the dagger against the man's neck.
"Who are you? Why are you pretending that I knocked you down? What is your purpose? Speak up, or you won't see Tomorrow's Sun," Chen Haoxuan said coldly.
"My companions are coming; you can't escape."
Two vans and three motorcycles quickly approached Chen Haoxuan's location. The vehicles stopped five meters away, and the people inside rushed out, each armed with weapons. They surrounded Chen Haoxuan as soon as they got out of the vehicles.
"Don't move! If anyone dares to make a move, I'll kill them," Chen Haoxuan warned coldly.
"Shitou, don't worry. If anything happens to him, your family will become our family. We'll take care of them, and we'll also give them a large sum of money for their living expenses," the man known as Heixin said with a sinister smile.
The person nicknamed Shitou gratefully replied to Heixin, "Thank you, big brother." These ignorant thugs thought that loyalty was enough; they didn't consider why someone like Heixin was called sinister. They failed to realize he would never honor a dead man's promise.
"What do you want?" Chen Haoxuan asked Heixin.
"We don't want anything! We just want some pocket money from you. Just come with us honestly! As long as you cooperate, I guarantee—nothing will happen to you," Heixin said with a lewd grin.
"Hmph, so you want to extort money from me? Fine! If you're going to extort me, then show me what you've got," Chen Haoxuan replied. As he spoke, he forcefully yanked the handgun from Shitou's hands with his left hand while simultaneously swinging his right hand down, stabbing a knife into Shitou's thigh.
"Ah—!" Shitou let out a miserable scream.
Although Chen Haoxuan had taken a handgun, he didn't use it—not because he didn't want to, but because it was a harmonious society where firearms couldn't be used recklessly. Therefore, unless absolutely necessary, he wouldn't resort to using a gun.
Chen Haoxuan's dagger was formidable; anyone who got close to him would scream in agony and then either fall to the ground or sit down.
"Chen Haoxuan, if you don't surrender, I'm going to shoot!" Heixin shouted loudly at Chen Haoxuan. He didn't expect Chen Haoxuan to look so innocent; several of his men had guns, yet Chen Haoxuan still dared to resist.
Hearing Heixin's words, Chen Haoxuan grabbed a thug by the neck with his left hand and quickly dragged him backward. He wanted to get back to the car and escape. The reason he was dragging a thug was that the thug served as his shield to prevent Heixin and his men from shooting.
"Quick—stop him! Don't let him get away!" Heixin ordered his subordinates to catch Chen Haoxuan.
Heixin himself turned and ran, not in retreat but to get on a motorcycle to prevent Chen Haoxuan from escaping and to pursue him.
Chen Haoxuan used all his strength as he sprinted toward his car. Just as he reached the side of the vehicle, he forcefully pushed the thug he was dragging toward those who were chasing him. Then he quickly dove into the car and started it up.
A few reckless thugs ran in front of Chen Haoxuan's car, arrogantly demanding that he get out. However, Chen Haoxuan ignored them, slammed on the brakes, and floored the gas pedal. The rear wheels of his car spun rapidly, creating a screeching sound and a cloud of smoke that forced the thugs behind him to scatter.
Everyone expected Chen Haoxuan to reverse the car, but to their astonishment, he did not back down; instead, he charged forward. Releasing and then quickly pressing down on the brake made his car act like a hammer, violently launching the three thugs blocking his path into the air.
This required skill; if Chen Haoxuan hadn't done this, he might have run over the three thugs in front of him. Therefore, he chose to use short bursts of acceleration and braking to knock away those obstructing his way.
With a roar, Chen Haoxuan sped away in his BMW. Heixin chased after him on his motorcycle, shouting at his subordinates, "What are you waiting for? Hurry up and chase him!"
