Rich in the 70s: I Made a Rugged Veteran a Millionaire novel Chapter 357

Chapter 357: Chapter 357: Extra 6

Jiang Cheng stepped on the brakes, the tires skidded on the ground, and you could hear the wind breaking as tiny pebbles were flung around.

Shen Que and Gao Zhonghua in the back seat grabbed the handles to steady themselves and got out of the car immediately.

"Lock the door!"

Shen Que’s voice rang out, and Jiang Cheng quickly locked the car doors. The headlights turned on, illuminating a small area in front.

Logs as thick as a thigh were blocking the middle of the road. In the instant the car braked, over a dozen men with sticks and axes emerged from the trees on both sides of the road.

They had blackened their faces and surrounded the truck in front, confronting Shen Que and the others.

Shen Que stood straight with a defensive posture, attempting to communicate with them.

The other side was too greedy, demanding a road fee of a thousand yuan.

Shen Que immediately refused. At the word "attack," Gao Zhonghua didn’t move, but Driver Guo charged forward first.

Shen Que also rushed out.

Their moves were clean and efficient; their refined killing techniques were overkill in this situation.

As former elite soldiers, dealing with over a dozen unskilled rabble was extremely simple.

The opponents, seeing that Shen Que and Driver Guo were too formidable in combat, approached the truck, looking to grab hold of someone who couldn’t fight back.

But when they saw Gao Zhonghua, nearly two meters tall, with a gleaming machete on his shoulder, they instinctively swallowed and backed off.

It felt like he was even more capable of fighting.

Inside the car, Jiang Cheng was watching Shen Que fight for the first time. If it weren’t the wrong occasion, she would’ve cheered him on.

He was just too handsome!

Truth be told, her seldom-seen girl’s heart nearly overflowed.

But it didn’t matter, her man could let it overflow anytime.

In less than ten minutes, the dozen plus adversaries were not only defeated but were pressed by Shen Que to clear away the log barricades on the road.

Shen Que even pulled aside the leader for a friendly chat.

More than half an hour later, the leader was affectionately calling Shen Que "Brother Shen."

"Brother Shen, if you ever need anything, just come to me. I’ve got you covered."

"Your vehicle can pass through here freely from now on. I’ll keep an eye on it for you!"

"There will absolutely not be any problems."

Shen Que exuded a rogue aura, calling each other brother with the guy.

If it weren’t for both of them having fought in front of Jiang Cheng just half an hour earlier, no one would suspect their relationship was bad, or even that they had just met less than half an hour ago.

While Jiang Cheng relied on words, Shen Que relied entirely on his skills.

After chatting with the leader for a while, before leaving, Shen Que stuffed 200 yuan into his hand, inviting them to have drinks.

Jiang Cheng understood it was tricky dealing with these small-time troublemakers.

Don’t these road blockers report it?

Of course, some do.

But once one batch leaves, another comes. People risk danger in pursuit of wealth, always believing they’re the lucky ones.

Throughout the process, Jiang Cheng stayed in the car as Shen Que watched the others leave, waited a few more minutes, and seeing no signs of anyone returning, he and Gao Zhonghua knocked on the car door.

Jiang Cheng unlocked the car, the three got in, and they set off again.

Jiang Cheng continued driving, glancing at Shen Que, asking, "Are you alright?"

"Don’t worry, I’m perfectly fine."

Shen Que smiled gently at Jiang Cheng, and she returned the smile.

After driving for more than two hours, they stopped again, switched drivers, and got out to stretch and use the restroom.

The truck driver, even spending nights outside, usually stays in the truck, seldom asking to stay with local homeowners.

Wealth can tempt people; don’t challenge it lightly by carting valuable goods.

After a simple meal of dry rations, they switched to Shen Que driving, Jiang Cheng in the passenger seat, while Gao Zhonghua and Master Guo took the chance to rest in the back.
