Chapter 520 Abilities
Inside the van, Chen Yang sat in the back, his brows furrowed in impatience. He hadn't expected so much trouble on the road.
However, at this moment, Chen Yang found himself somewhat interested in Zhou Shanshan, the woman in front.
Even in such a dangerous situation, Zhou Shanshan remained remarkably calm. She truly was a doctoral student in psychiatry!
Shanshan showed no fear. She looked at the buzz-cut man and said, "Brother, you should think carefully. You're just looking for some thrill, but I will resist fiercely. If I resist intensely, you'll get angry and call the police to arrest you.
"And after you've touched me, you will inevitably leave traces. By then, there's at least an eighty-six percent chance you'll be caught, and you'll still have to spend the rest of your lives in prison.
"Besides, women are everywhere in this world. You've robbed millions, why not live a carefree life somewhere else? Do you really need to seek stimulation from me?
"I'm not more flesh than other women, nor am I nobler. We're all the same. The pleasure you get from me is far less than the pleasure you'd get from spending money on other women.
"So please, calm down. Take the money and leave quickly. You can still have some fun tonight. If you cause further complications, you'll likely end up in jail within three days."
The buzz-cut man was stunned again. He eyed Zhou Shanshan, feeling quite frustrated. He muttered, "Damn it! Why is it that every time you speak, big sister, you manage to hit the nail on the head? You always magnify the fear in my heart and make me abandon my previous thoughts. It's truly bizarre."
Zhou Shanshan glanced at the time and said, "Take the money and leave now. We're also in a hurry. We need to get to Qingshui Village as soon as possible to treat the villagers."
The buzz-cut man became annoyed. He ran a hand over his hair and grumbled, "No, this is completely wrong. Why do I feel like my mind is being controlled by you, little girl? What's going on?"
Just then, the white-haired old professor sitting in the front impatiently turned his head. He reached out and patted the buzz-cut man on the shoulder, saying, "You guys need to leave quickly. If you don't, the police will be here."
The old professor merely patted the buzz-cut man's shoulder a few times.
The next moment, the buzz-cut man abruptly turned, jumped out of the van, drew a dagger from his waist, and lunged at one of his subordinates, shouting angrily, "Damn you, you useless piece of trash! How dare you betray me, I'll kill you!"
The buzz-cut man stabbed at his subordinate's arm again. The subordinate, startled, retreated. The other two quickly stepped forward, saying, "Brother, brother, are you crazy? He didn't betray you! How could Old Third betray you?"
At this point, the buzz-cut man had lost all reason. He slashed at the other two brothers with his dagger, yelling, "Nonsense, it was you! It was you who betrayed me! Listen, the police sirens are coming, I'll kill you!"
The buzz-cut man fiercely lunged at the three men. The three subordinates, seeing this, panicked and fled. At this moment, they didn't even have time to get back into the van.
They scattered in three different directions, quickly dodging towards the roadside. The buzz-cut man, cursing, pursued them with his dagger and soon disappeared from sight.
Seeing this, Chen Yang became even more intrigued by the old professor in front. It was clear that the sudden madness of the "Fantastic Four's" leader was caused by the old professor in front patting his shoulder.
The fluctuations of the old man's aura were not those of a martial artist, but a strange energy. It seemed even stranger than Chen Yang had initially thought, capable of directly controlling the leader's mind and plunging him into fear.
Chen Yang stroked his chin, his own aura becoming even more subdued. It seemed he needed to hide better.
He had originally thought he had merely encountered three members of the medical team by chance. Now, discovering this old man hidden within the medical team, it was clear he had other intentions.
Zhou Shanshan, who had been in the van, jumped out and helped Li Gang up.
Zhou Shanshan looked around and said, "Where did that driver go to find someone to fix the car? When will he be back? What if those robbers return?"
The professor in front said, "No need to wait for the driver. That driver was in on it with those four robbers. So now we'll drive the car ourselves to Qingshui Village."
Zhou Shanshan's eyes widened in understanding. "Professor Wang, now that you say that, I get it. It seems the driver and the robbers were definitely working together. But the car is broken, so we can't continue driving."
Professor Wang pointed to the pickup truck beside them. "The pickup truck hasn't stalled. Let's go to Qingshui Village in the pickup."
Zhou Shanshan nodded. "Okay, it's settled then. Great, this car actually helps us. Oh dear, this pickup seems to be a manual transmission. What do we do?"
Zhou Shanshan circled the pickup truck and returned, looking helpless. She quickly turned to Li Gang and said, "Senior Brother, Senior Brother, can you drive?"
Li Gang nodded. "Yes, of course I can drive. I'm a super expert."
Zhou Shanshan breathed a sigh of relief. "That's good. Let's grab our things and get into the pickup, and leave quickly."
Then, Zhou Shanshan looked at Chen Yang in the back and said, "Sir, you should get into the pickup truck too!"
Chen Yang nodded, a simple smile on his face.
Li Gang saw Chen Yang smiling at Zhou Shanshan and immediately snorted, "Junior Sister, haven't you learned your lesson yet?
"Everyone here has ulterior motives. This guy is probably no good either, so why did you call him over?
"Besides, it was so dangerous just now, and only I stood up to protect you. This guy isn't a man at all, he just hid in the back the whole time like a coward.
"If I hadn't been so brave just now, they wouldn't have fled in such disarray. Although I sustained some minor injuries, I'm satisfied that I protected Junior Sister from harm."
Li Gang attributed all the credit to himself.
Zhou Shanshan looked puzzled. She hadn't really understood what had happened.
Initially, those four men had already beaten Li Gang to the ground and were about to make a move on her, but suddenly their leader went mad, wielding a dagger at his own men.
They didn't take any valuables and then all ran off. It was very strange.
However, Zhou Shanshan knew it was definitely not because of Li Gang. Although Zhou Shanshan was beautiful, she was by no means a brainless vase. She was a genuine expert in psychiatry.
Zhou Shanshan didn't dwell on it. She said, "Yes, yes, thank you, Senior Brother. But this gentleman is a passenger and probably has nothing to do with those robbers."
"For now, we should get into the pickup and head back to Qingshui Village. What if those people stop us on the way again?"
As they spoke, the group moved their belongings to the pickup truck. Chen Yang got into the back seat and sat down. Li Gang muttered, clearly unwilling to bring Chen Yang along, but since Zhou Shanshan had spoken, he couldn't refuse.
He sat in the driver's seat, looked around, and then looked embarrassed. He hesitated and said, "Uh... uh, I don't seem to know how to drive this manual transmission car."
"This... this thing is completely different from a race car's structure! It's not my fault. How about I search online right now on how to drive a manual beater?"
Zhou Shanshan helplessly patted her forehead. She looked at Professor Wang.
Professor Wang immediately shook his head, a kind smile on his face. "Shanshan, don't look at me. I've spent my whole life studying academics. To this day, let alone manual transmission, I don't even know how to drive an automatic."
Then Zhou Shanshan looked at Chen Yang.
