There must be brave men under heavy rewards, but Chen Ergou actually did not want to go up and take over the hot potato. If he lost, he would inevitably be scolded by Wei Dongchu without any reason. Even if he won, Wei Dongchu could still put his delicate mouth on his face?

  Chen Ergou's sudden appearance on the court was because he had spotted an unexpected figure, a quiet girl who lived in a villa at the foot of the mountain and woke up early every day to read books. She was the biggest mystery for Chen Ergou in the whole town, like a white lotus flower blooming in the corner of a pond, untainted by even a speck of dust. Chen Ergou was from a small village where chicken droppings littered the ground, and whenever he saw a woman as clean and pure as this one, he couldn't help but want to get close to her, to add some color to her life. So he mustered up his courage and ran onto the court, amidst the gaze of the crowd, alongside a handsome young man who was admired by almost every woman, and a burly giant of a man with a menacing scowl. However, his appearance on the court didn't seem to bring about any change in the game's momentum. His two arrogant young teammates completely ignored him, leaving Chen Ergou to run around frantically without the ball, like a clown jumping up and down. Wei Dongchu, who had been watching with a mindset of "trying to revive a dead horse", couldn't help but want to laugh when she saw Chen Ergou running around with all his might but getting nowhere. She tilted her head in puzzlement, wondering if this guy was crazy, thinking that even if he did manage to get the ball, it would be pointless, and that it would be smarter and more energy-efficient to just wait for an opportunity to arise. With so many eyes watching him, Chen Ergou's face must have been incredibly thick-skinned. Just when Wei Dongchu thought all was lost, the fool on the court who had been putting in so much effort finally got a reward - a rebound ball that he had picked up, followed by a series of decent passes, and then, from beyond the three-point line, he jumped up and shot the ball with a swishing sound, scoring a basket.

  Wei Dongchong murmured something under his breath.

  Chen Ergou wiped the sweat, exhaled a breath, glanced at his two teammates who should be standing in the same camp, and curled up a faintly discernible cold arc at the corner of his mouth. Team spirit? Chen Ergou had never relied on anyone to win what he wanted since he was young, except for hunting down the rich and powerful. His life creed only had adding fuel to the fire when dealing with enemies and going solo without begging for mercy.

  He quickly picked up the ball and ran back to pass it, but didn't pass it to anyone else. Chen Ergou self-passed and wanted to shoot again in a group of people who were caught off guard, scoring his second three-pointer. He picked up the ball, passed it, ran, and shot again, scoring for the third time. His two teammates cursed as the opposing team finally came back to their senses, focusing on defending Chen Ergou.

  Chen Ergou almost brutally broke through the defender, making an ungraceful but practical layup, scoring again. When he got the ball for the fifth time, the giant ape with exceptionally developed limbs glared at him menacingly, face-to-face, and defended against Chen Ergou. However, in a reasonable collision, the giant ape was surprisingly knocked down by Chen Ergou's physical advantage.

  It was hard to imagine how a 180-pound bear could be overpowered by Chen Ergou, who wasn't particularly robust. A guy who had previously thrown dirty punches at Chen Ergou tried to foul again but was hit in the face with an elbow that seemed unintentional. He crouched on the ground, yelping nonstop.

  Chen Ergou's shot was disturbed and hit the rim of the basket without going in. He, the handsome guy, and the giant ape simultaneously fought for the rebound. Unexpectedly, Chen Ergou managed to grab the ball, slamming it to the ground. The crowd looked at this man wearing a security uniform again, and he seemed to have an absurdly towering presence, pulling back the women who were originally infatuated with the two handsome guys, one by one, back to reality.

  "Pass the ball, damn it!"

  A guy who hadn't touched the ball for a whole day and a half wasn't excited by Chen Erdou's consecutive scores, but instead got angry that this little guy had stolen his thunder. Then, Chen Erdou really passed the ball, but it hit the guy right in the face, causing his nose to bleed profusely. Another guy got fired up and ran towards Chen Erdou, kicking him hard, but Chen Erdou kicked back, and the first guy ended up on the ground clutching his leg and crying out for his mom. The girls who had thought he was a white knight were greatly disappointed. Chen Erdou picked up the ball that had rolled to the side, and no one dared to block him as he scored easily with three steps. Afterwards, he walked towards the guy who had cursed at him, saying "****** mom", who was still trying to stop his nosebleed. When he saw Chen Erdou, he immediately ran away, since another guy who had messed with Chen Erdou was already lying on the ground in a pitiful state. He didn't run for many steps before being kicked in the butt by Chen Erdou, and because of the great force, he fell forward, scraping his expensive pants and injuring his wrist as well as his nose. Everyone on and off the court was stunned, except for Wei Dongcheng, who was shouting excitedly: "Gogo, shoot and score, oh yeah!"

  Chen Erdou ended this absurd farce with a three-pointer.

  "Victory belongs to the great Queen Weidongchong! Oh la la~" Weidongchong didn't care about the lives of those two horses, and ran to Chen Ergou's side. From his wallet, he pulled out a stack of money, roughly ten 100-yuan bills, and handed them over to Chen Ergou with great generosity, saying: "This is your reward."

  Chen Ergou glanced at her and quickly squeezed out a bright smile, took the money without hesitation, patted his butt and walked away.

  That serene girl, like a white lotus flower, slightly opened her mouth and gazed at Chen Ergou's departing back. It seemed that the person who should have been ridiculed was lying on the ground, while the one who should have been mocked had plucked the fruit of victory. No one could guess the process or the outcome. She looked at Chen Ergou again, then glanced at Wei Dongchu, who had spent over a thousand yuan to get rid of Chen Ergou, and couldn't help but laugh and cry. Both were freaks, indeed, enemies destined to meet.

  Wei Dongchong's brain, which had been nurtured by her clever and beautiful flower vase mother and her powerful and overbearing father for 14 years, couldn't understand why a farm worker with a servant-like appearance would dare to be so humble in front of her. She also couldn't understand why he dared to take tough action against those people on the scene who were definitely at least a hundred times richer than him. And when he took that stack of money, she couldn't understand why he showed such an uncomfortable gaze. But what she couldn't understand most was whether he was a dog-like servant or a villain pretending to be a pig to eat the tiger.

  The answer is not complicated, the man who can take a beating and earn money quickly is just a small-minded person who respects his mother to the bone, he can fight, knock down three or four embroidered pillows with ease, he won't put male chauvinism in his mouth, nor will he stick a label of self-respect on himself for others to see. He is indeed humble and obedient, but the object of his humility is not Wei Dongchu, but her father Wei Duangong. Even so, the rustic old man who was repeatedly called a dog slave by her would not really sacrifice himself for her father, perhaps one day when he can have an equal conversation with Wei Duangong, that's when she and Wei Xiacao will have trouble.

  Wei Xiacao felt a chill, she thought it was necessary to let her father fire this terrifying young man from the city. She wasn't Wei Dongchong, she was a woman who came out of the government's big courtyard, had seen too many small characters' powerful and fearful faces after they gained power, that kind of sudden resentment, and narrow-mindedness that would take revenge no matter what, could drag many people down to hell.

  Perhaps this man couldn't walk that far or climb that high, but to prepare for the worst and be cautious by nature, Wei Xiacao still decided to discreetly "ask" him to leave the Wei family villa.

  Chen Ergou may have tasted red wine and savored it for several days, or touched a mobile phone and been excited for half a day, but after fighting once, he rarely felt the need to ruminate on it. Zhao Kunpeng dared to stab him, and a few parents who were destined to be inferior to Wei Duan Gong's middle school students fought and that was it, even if there were aftereffects, Chen Ergou believed it wouldn't be fatal, and he still lived a precise life with a regular schedule, training the three famous dogs that Wei Duan Gong had spent a lot of money on. Perhaps the fight on the basketball court had given him momentum, making Wei Dongchong feel that even if Chen Ergou was a dog slave, he was a stylish one to take out. He often went to Shan Shui Hua Men, and after going back and forth, he became infatuated with raising dogs. His biggest dream wasn't to hunt in the mountains with a group of famous dogs and enjoy the thrill of returning loaded, but to raise four or five Alaskan sled dogs, and when winter came and it snowed, let Chen Ergou be a sled dog and have those dogs pull him running. He thought that was more stylish than driving a Lamborghini or Ferrari, and that was really cool. Chen Ergou didn't comment on this, as the children of rich families had luxurious dreams that were unreasonable, but not a big deal. Moreover, Wei Dongchong's idea, although a bit crazy, was more lovable than ordinary rich girls buying a large cabinet of famous brand shoes and jewelry. Chen Ergou didn't have any intention of mocking her in his heart.

  "Dog slave, you're really good at making sleds?" Wei Dongchong continued to play truant and came to the Shanshui Huamen to watch Chen Ergou train dogs, sitting in a chair in the courtyard of the villa with his cheek propped up, his tone full of doubt.

  "I'm a native Northeasterner, I've been crawling and rolling in the snow for over 20 years, it's no big deal that I can make a sled. But let me tell you ahead of time, being able to do something is one thing, whether I do it well or not is another matter." Chen Ergou declared beforehand that he knew giving people hope only to disappoint them later was even more torturous than not giving them hope in the first place. For Chen Ergou, it's better to be absolutely decisive and not hold onto any illusions, otherwise, he would end up being hated by others, which would be his own doing.

  "You scoundrel, what brings you from Northeast to Nanjing? Are you here to rape women or commit murder and arson?" Wei Dongchu asked solemnly.

  Chen Ergou, who was used to Wei Dongcai's absurd and fanciful thinking, squatted on the ground, allowing Hei Bao to bite a Shaanxi fine dog. Looking at the two dogs fighting, he took out a cigarette and calmly said: "Finding an educated wife, having a child who doesn't have to worry about food and clothing, that's enough."
