Gu Zhanchuan27Gu ZhanchuanGu Chengya29Gu ChengyaAlso written as Cheng Ya or Miss Gu. The mistress of the Gu family; Grandpa Gu's favourite granddaughter.'s bodyguard.’s expression changed immediately; he clenched his fists. However, after looking into Su Qiubai23Su QiubaiProtagonist, a taxi driver with a powerful and mysterious navigation system. Sometimes written as the old driver in this novel.’s cold eyes, he recalled Wu Song’s horrific strength and slowly relaxed his hands in the end.
He didn’t want to have conflict with Su Qiubai, especially with Gu Chengya around. Unfortunately, one of the bodyguards next to Gu Zhanchuan didn’t think the same. He scowled and threw a punch towards Su Qiubai.
Ever since Su Qiubai helped to cure Guan Yu’s injury, he hadn’t realized what the navigation system had meant about his Force skill increasing.
However, he finally understood it now.
The bodyguard was surprisingly kicked away by him!
The heck! So powerful!
Staring at the bodyguard curled up on the ground, Su Qiubai couldn’t believe he was the cause of it. His kick shocked Gu Zhanchuan.
This driver… is unfathomable!
With the fear of Wu Song still looming over his mind, Gu Zhanchuan didn’t want to stay any longer, he stopped the other bodyguards from fighting. Gu Zhanchuan took one last glance at Su Qiubai and swiftly left with Gu Chengya.
Seeing that the situation had turned sour, Su Qiubai knew that there was no way he could continue to help Gu Chengya. He just silently watched them leaving his house.
He slowly sighed, he knew that Gu Chengya’s health would just worsen from now on. But he had tried his best, maybe this was just God’s will!
He was in no mood to tidy the room, so he took the car keys and went downstairs. Hua Tuo25Hua TuoAlso known as Hua Yuanhua or Yuan Hua. An ancient Chinese godly doctor/acupuncturist and Zhang Zhongjing were standing next to his taxi. They remained still even after spotting Su Qiubai.
Su Qiubai also felt embarrassed over bringing the two old men from so far away; they didn’t even ask for any payment and yet they were still accused as scammers!
If it was me, I’d surely be furious!
In the end, after repeated apologies and presenting the two old men some syringes as a gift, their mood eventually became better. While in the car, Su Qiubai tried to ask if they were willing to continue to cure Gu Chengya’s illness, but both of them were no longer willing…
He felt very depressed after sending them home. However, Wu Song just then sent an invitation to him at that moment.
Without thinking about it too much, Su Qiubai visited him. But who knew that Wu Song had actually left Yanggu County. The reason was because he had killed Xi Menqing!
That surely gave Su Qiubai a shock. He thought that it was because Pan Jinlian had cheated on Wu Dalang by flirting with Xi Menqing again, and murdered Wu Dalang as a result. But the truth was otherwise!
[TLN: According to history novel, Pan Jinlian had an adulterous affair with Xi Menqing, which was later accidentally found out by Wu Dalang. In the end, they poisoned him because they were worried that he might report them to Wu Song, who was serving as a head of constable in the county office.]It turned out to be the result of another reason which had nothing to do with Pan Jinlian.
Su Qiubai breathed a sigh of relief. Although he didn’t know why it was different from what he read in the novel, it was fine as long as Wu Dalang and Pan Jinlian were safe.
Wu Song had done something illegal, and didn’t know where to go, so he asked Su Qiubai for help.
According to the novel, Wu Song should be heading to Erlong Mountain at this moment. However, after recalling the events in the novel once more, he knew that he would end up at Liang Mountain in the end anyway, so Su Qiubai simply send him there instead.
Off they went to Liang Mountain in Su Qiubai’s car.
Upon reaching Liang Mountain, Song Jiang was surprisingly already on the mountain!
Su Qiubai staggered, not understanding what was going on. According to history, Song Jiang shouldn’t be here…
But the two brothers were quite affectionate when they met. Seeing that Su Qiubai had parked his car at the foot of the mountain, Song Jiang led a group of men to welcome him.
“Pagoda-shifting Heavenly King” Wang Caogai; “Panther Head” Lin Chong; “Black Whirlwind” Li Kui; “Red Haired Devil” Liu Tang… Even “Flowery Monk” Lu Zhishen was present! [TLN: The words in “” are their nicknames.]
The old driver was overwhelmed after seeing the large group of people… He hurried up the mountain in bewilderment. After exchanging a few words, a banquet was prepared, but just as they started to drink, Su Qiubai interrupted them.
“Brothers, let’s get happy together today. How could you all drink this kind of wine? Wait for me… I’ll be back soon!”
With that said, Su Qiubai turned to leave.
Seeing that the men were somewhat puzzled, Song Jiang quickly explained to them that his brother would always bring in good stuff while Wu Song nodded in agreement.
Sure enough, the old driver swiftly returned.
His taxi was filled with bottles of good wine! Almost all of his savings had been used up. There were even boxes of cigarettes.
The men from Liang Mountain couldn’t have possibly seen all this stuff before. No one wanted to drink the old wine anymore. They also couldn’t stop smoking the cigarettes; they felt more and more excited with every puff they took!
With that, the group of men had developed a great impression of Su Qiubai. After the meal, everyone tipped over happily!
……
It wasn’t until the next day that Su Qiubai drove back from Liang Mountain. He drank too much and couldn’t drive home the night before.
After returning home, he spent the next two days carefully studying the navigation system, especially when he found out that he could upgrade his driver’s license!
Su Qiubai was very curious about what could be better than his current e-level license. However, he didn’t make any progress during those two days. The navigation system was too mysterious. It looked like he had to understand it slowly.
Just then, Cao Toufei actually contacted Su Qiubai, saying that he had something to give him. At first, Su Qiubai didn’t want to meet him, but he couldn’t stand that kid’s pleading, so he finally agreed to meet up with him at a small restaurant.
Cao Toufei was really an interesting person. After last time’s race, he promised to honour Su Qiubai as the gang’s new big brother. He was indeed serious about it!
He was defeated by Su Qiubai’s strength and his driving skills, so he really wanted Su Qiubai to lead the Street Racers Gang.
In his opinion, people only had one life, so they should live it to the fullest! Su Qiubai was more skillful than him; he had a gut feeling that if he and his gang followed Su Qiubai, they’d definitely be able to do something big, even though he didn’t know why he felt this way!
But, whatever!
Just as Su Qiubai got off his taxi, the yellow-haired Cao Toufei was already running over, calling out Big Brother.
“Didn’t I tell you before… don’t call me Big Brother.” The old driver felt helpless. He really didn’t want to be the leader of the Street Racers Gang.
“Hehe, I don’t care, I like to call you that!” Cao Toufei grinned, his expression filled with pride.
Shaking his head, they both took a seat in the restaurant.
Su Qiubai’s phone suddenly rang when he was about to ask Cao Toufei why he invited him out.
He was surprised, especially after seeing that the call was from Donghai City.
Picking up the phone, the caller was actually a girl, her voice sounded a bit timid and rushed.
“Hello, may I ask… is this Su Qiubai? I’m Su Xiaoxiao31Su XiaoxiaoSu Qiubai's sister; also written as Xiao Xiao in this novel.’s classmate Xiao Li.”
Su Qiubai stunned.
Xiao Xiao’s classmate? He instantly felt something was wrong.
“Yes, I’m Su Qiubai, what happened?” Without hesitation, Su Qiubai asked.
“Well… Xiao Xiao had an accident. She’s in the hospital now, and we don’t have enough money to pay for the medical fee. Could you please transfer some money over?” The girl’s voice was very hesitant and soft.
When Su Qiubai heard that Su Xiaoxiao had an accident, his whole body froze!
“What happened? How much do you need? I’ll come over immediately…” He quickly replied. He was sure that it wasn’t a scam call, because he could hear the fear in her voice; a scammer wouldn’t be afraid.
“You…you don’t come here, Xiao Xiao won’t let me call you. I’m secretly calling you.” The girl suddenly began to whimper, Su Qiubai was even more certain that something was up.
“What’s going on? Tell me right away!” Taking a deep breath to calm himself, Su Qiubai demanded.
The caller suddenly became silent. After a few seconds, the girl started crying.
“I’m sorry, she jumped off of the roof of a building. She’s seriously injured. I don’t know what to do so I called you. She won’t let me tell you… I’m sorry.”
The girl cried even harder. Su Qiubai’s heart sank to the bottom. His mind went blank when he heard that Xiao Xiao had attempted suicide.
“What happened…” His voice cracked.
“It’s Xiao Yun. He forced Xiao Xiao to jump off. He wanted to molest her… His family has a well-known background. He has always been harassing Xiao Xiao, but she didn’t want you to worry, so she just kept it a secret this whole time…” The frightened girl finally stuttered the reason.
Su Qiubai was silent.
Sitting next to him, Cao Toufei could only feel his body shiver. He had clearly heard every word, so he started trembling even more. He couldn’t imagine what would happen next.
Finally, Su Qiubai spoke in a calm tone as if nothing happened.
“I’ll transfer the money to Xiao Xiao’s bank card. Tell her that I’m on my way to Dong Hai. Her justice… I’ll regain it for her!”
After that, he hung up the phone and quietly stood up.
“Big Brother!” Cao Toufei anxiously shouted but was instantly silenced; Su Qiubai looked incredibly frightening right now. Su Qiubai took a look at him, and then turned and rushed towards his taxi. He hopped into it and left.
Along the way, he felt like his heart had been crushed!
That dumb girl had always followed him ever since she was a child. When he got into fights, she would always joke about telling their parents. Whenever she cried, she’d ask for his help first before their parents.
She was always far too sensible; always worried about causing trouble for her family.
She had suffered all her grievances alone. She took the initiative to call him every time, telling him not to do this, not to be like that… Yet, I never once asked her how she is!
I really don’t deserve to be Xiao Xiao’s brother, that’s why things like this happened… It’s time for me to protect Xiao Xiao!
Upon reaching home, Su Qiubai called Xia Rongrong30Xia RongrongPresident/CEO of the Xia Group, one of the few wealthy and powerful company/family at Qinghe City.
“Can I borrow some money?” He directly asked her.
She was taken aback, she had never heard him in this tone before. Although she didn’t know why he needed the money, she quickly replied.
“How much do you need? I’ll get you an account. As a shareholder of the company, you can arbitrarily control the funds within five million dollars…”
“Thank you… Oh yeah, do you know anything about the Xiao family in Donghai City?” Su Qiubai asked all of a sudden before he ended the call.
Xia Rongrong was dazed for a moment before replying, “The Xiao family is the last of the four major families in Donghai City. They’re more influential than the Xia Group, but their business is shady. It’s mainly focused around Dongkou Street. They have many followers, especially fighters… Why did you ask?”
“No reason.” After that, Su Qiubai hung up the phone.
Xia Rongrong blankly placed the phone down. The more she thought about it, the more worried she felt. Finally, she stamped down the anxiety in her heart, and called one of the department managers in Donghai City to enquire about whether the Xiao family had done anything odd in the past few days.
At first, the manager said nothing, but he suddenly recalled an incident before the call ended.
“Oh yeah, the Xiao family’s little master, Xiao Yun seemed to have forced a girl from Donghai University to jump off of a building…”
“What’s the girl’s name?” her heart skipped a beat; she immediately asked.
“It seems that her surname was Su… Su Xiaoxiao, I’m not certain.”
The latter part was totally ignored by Xia Rongrong. When she heard that the girl’s surname was Su, her face instantly turned pale. She finally understood why Su Qiubai had spoken in such a tone earlier.
She now knew that… something big was about to happen!
When she gave Su Qiubai a call, his phone had already been shut down…
It suddenly started to rain in Qingjiang City, and it was getting heavier by the second.
After Su Qiubai finished smoking his last cigarette in his room, he got up and went downstairs to his taxi, heading straight to the highway.
He had a plan!
It was already late, so there shouldn’t be anyone on the highway, but he spotted a red Ferrari at a distance. When he took a closer look… Cao Toufei was the one standing next to it. Su Qiubai stopped his car about ten meters away from the Ferrari and jumped out, not knowing why Cao Toufei was here.
Seeing Su Qiubai getting out of the car, Cao Toufei grinned. He was soaked, standing under the rain. Staring at Su Qiubai, the boy yelled.
“Big Brother, if I don’t back you up in this kind of situation, then I’d better be known as your grandson!”
After shouting that sentence, Cao Toufei put his hand through the Ferrari’s window and slammed hard on the honk.
Before Su Qiubai could respond, the sounds of engines roared in the heavy rain; dozens of colorful sports cars drove out from all directions. All of them parked themselves next to the taxi, and each one of their drivers got out.
“Big Brother, let’s screw him!”
“This time, we’re going to tear down Donghai City!”
“Big Brother, if you don’t bring us with you, then that means you look down on us!”
…….
Glancing at their childish faces, Su Qiubai felt touched by their strong sense of support. At the same time, he finally recognized these kids as his brothers! In the end, he lifted his head and slowly nodded.
“Brothers, get in your cars… We’re going to Dong Hai!”
