Chen Nan wore a faint smile, "With big brother Chen here, there's nothing to fear!"
Yang Ji clenched her fists nervously.
Although Chen Nan gave her an inexplicable sense of security,
The other side had overwhelming numbers.
Ten middle-aged men, armed with clubs, alighted from two SUVs.
Among them was the fellow named Urgeno from yesterday.
"Young man, didn't expect us to meet again, did you?" Urgeno grinned, "Regret interfering where you shouldn't have?"
"I'll be damned if I tell you, it's too late!"
"Today, I'll kill you and make you food for the wild beasts nearby!"
Yang Ji jumped out of the car, saying nervously, "Don't hurt big brother Chen, I'll go with you!"
Urgeno showed a meaningful smile, "I never expected Miss Yang Ji to risk herself for a man!"
"However, even if you're willing to risk it for him, it's too late!"
"No one can know you were taken by us!"
Fear flickered in Yang Ji's eyes, "Who are you people? How do you know my name?"
Urgeno said, "We're just taking money to do a job. You'll get your answers when we reach Yingjungou!"
With that, he waved his hand, "Deal with this guy!"
"Go to hell!"
"Die!"
Nine middle-aged men, brandishing clubs and shouting, charged at Chen Nan.
Chen Nan felt quite depressed.
He just wanted to do a good deed and escort Yang Ji back to Yingjungou.
But based on the current situation,
He seemed to have stumbled into a conspiracy!
However,
He didn't regret it.
*Bang bang bang!*
He threw punches decisively, like a phantom.
Or like a speeding truck.
Wherever he passed, those middle-aged men were sent flying for over ten meters.
Most of them lay on the ground, unconscious.
"This..."
Yang Ji's eyes widened, her blue irises filled with undisguised shock.
Chen Nan was too formidable.
As if possessed by a mountain god guarding the sacred peaks,
She hadn't even seen what happened.
Urgeno snapped back to reality from his shock, grinning menacingly, "No wonder you dared to interfere, turns out you're a fighter!"
He then pulled a dark gun from his waist.
The muzzle pointed directly at Chen Nan, his smile growing wilder, "So what if you're strong? Can you be faster than a bullet?"
"Do you believe I'll shoot you dead right now?"
Chen Nan unhurriedly took out a cigarette, lit it, and took a contented puff, "You think having a gun means you can kill me?"
*Bang!*
Urgeno raised the gun and fired a shot into the sky, "See? Real gun, real bullets, not a toy gun to scare you!"
"Chen, if you don't want to die, get on your knees immediately!"
"Or I'll send you to hell!"
Chen Nan said, "Tell me who your boss is, and I can let you live!"
???
Urgeno was stunned, "Are you crazy? I'm pointing a gun at you, why are you saying such a stupid thing?"
"Do you think I'm afraid of you?"
Chen Nan admitted, "The gun is indeed in your hand."
"And the muzzle is indeed pointed at me."
"But the one who dies after you shoot will definitely not be me."
"You mean me?" Urgeno roared, feeling insulted, "I'm too lazy to waste words with you, die!" He was about to pull the trigger.
But at that moment,
He felt a force beyond his control gripping his arm.
"Damn it, what's going on?"
Urgeno's scalp tingled, a sense of dread rising in his heart.
Before he could recover, the gun was pressed against his jaw.
This scene also shocked Yang Ji.
She found it unbelievable!
"Are you human or ghost?" Urgeno shrieked.
"You haven't answered my question, and you expect me to answer yours?" Chen Nan's lips curled into a sneer, then he snapped his fingers.
*Bang!*
A crisp gunshot echoed.
Urgeno's head was blown open, and he fell onto the cold ground.
Although Chen Nan could have asked why they were grabbing Yang Ji,
It seemed unnecessary.
After all, they were heading to Yingjungou soon.
Once they arrived, the truth would be revealed.
"Let's go, we have more traveling to do!"
Chen Nan looked at the stunned girl. He was touched by her earlier act of stepping forward to let Urgeno spare him.
"Big brother Chen... are you human or ghost?"
Yang Ji's face was filled with tension.
Chen Nan asked with a smile, "What if I'm human? What if I'm a ghost?"
Yang Ji shivered!
Right!
What if he was human?
What if he was a ghost?
He had saved her life!
He bore no ill will towards her!
Wasn't knowing these things enough?
As for his true identity...
It didn't matter anymore!
"Don't you know why these people were trying to grab you?" Chen Nan started the car and drove towards Yingjungou.
Yang Ji shook her head, "I don't know."
Chen Nan asked again, "Did your family offend anyone?"
"Probably not!" Yang Ji said, "My family has been jade prospectors for generations, and we make a living from it. We couldn't have offended anyone." She then took out her phone, but unfortunately, there was no signal.
The journey was uneventful.
Three hours later.
The two arrived at Yingjungou.
It was originally an obscure little village,
But its fame grew due to its proximity to the Kunlun Mountains and the many jade prospectors residing there.
Frankly speaking, thirty percent of the Hetian jade on the market circulated from here.
Of course, it was also a prosperous place.
Rather than a small village, it was more like a bustling county town.
Luxury cars were everywhere, as were rich people in fur coats.
However,
As the two entered Yingjungou, Chen Nan keenly felt vehicles following them.
"Big brother Chen, I just called my dad, he'll be here to pick us up soon!" Yang Ji also dialed her father's number, her face devoid of fear.
After all, her family had some influence in Yingjungou.
They feared no one.
Another ten minutes passed.
A dozen SUVs drove from the distance, including Land Rovers and Hummers, with the lowest grade being a Land Cruiser.
As these dozen SUVs appeared, the vehicles in the distance quickly disappeared.
Seemingly knowing they couldn't afford to provoke these people.
"Father, you're finally here! If you hadn't come any later, I would have been abducted!"
Seeing her father arrive, Yang Ji jumped out of the car and complained to Basoner.
Basoner sighed, "I was attending to your grandfather, otherwise I would have come to pick you up sooner." He then looked at Chen Nan, placed his right hand over his chest, and bowed, "Thank you, Mr. Chen, for saving my daughter's life. I, Basoner, owe you a life. You can ask for anything you need at any time."
Chen Nan said, "It was just a small favor, nothing to mention."
"However, there is indeed something I'd like to ask Mr. Basoner."
"Do you know a person named Zhabu Yongcuo?"
The address given by Old Master Jian no longer existed; it had been rebuilt.
Therefore, he didn't know Zhabu Yongcuo's whereabouts.
Basoner's eyes glinted coldly, "Who are you? Why are you looking for Zhabu Yongcuo?"
