When Chen Ergou had nothing to do, he would read books. When he got tired of reading, he would take Hei Bao to stroll around Zhongshan Golf Course. At night, when it was impossible to stroll, he would take out the white radish from the kitchen and carve it with a small knife that cost only a few dollars. Chen Ergou had liked playing with hunting knives and bows and arrows since he was young. He was born with a weak body and couldn't fight like Chen Fugui, who could beat up strong men in Zhangjiawan at the age of 16 just with his bare hands. So, he liked to use objects to help him. When fighting, he would pick up bricks; when hunting, he would use a spear gun. In his free time, he would carve things with a small knife. It could be said that he was a person who felt insecure without carrying something on him. Only someone like him could carry several bags of quicklime and tie a dagger to his arm to deal with Zhao Kunpeng. During his school days, the things he carved on chalk were mostly the face of a girl whose appearance he had almost forgotten. In Shanghai, at first, it was the unattainable Cao family woman; now, it was mostly Xiao Yu. Years of hard work made his carvings look vivid and lifelike. However, as soon as he finished carving, he would immediately destroy them without exception. Chen Ergou always thought that this was just a trivial skill, a lowly thing to do. This couldn't be blamed on him; Zhangjiawan was a rough place where delicate things were not tolerated. Occasionally, a woman like Zhang Sanqian would come, but she would still end up throwing herself into the river. Even Chen Ergou's mother had been worn down by life and became an emaciated woman who looked twenty years older than city women.

  Until recently, Chen Ergou only learned to surf the internet and search for information, then he couldn't help himself, like a starving person searching for food in the vast ocean of information. He thought that there would be "golden houses" and "beautiful women" on the internet, but after going online, he found that these things were too common, and it took a lot of effort to find what he wanted. Apart from surfing the web, his greatest pleasure was typing in the names "Chen Fugui" or "Wang Huren", then opening each search result one by one, no matter how messy they were. With the internet, Chen Ergou could read the "Twenty-Four Histories" for free and stay up-to-date with current events. However, he didn't play games or use QQ or MSN, as he felt that spending too much time chatting or gaming was a luxury.

  Time flies, and he has almost three weeks at Zhongshan Golf. During this time, apart from Fang Jie letting him drive to the company's headquarters in Nanjing Chemical Industry Park twice, he also sent Wei Xiacao to Shanghai Pudong International Airport once. The rest of the time was left to Chen Ergou himself, which allowed Chen Ergou to start again and pick up the process of preparing for the university entrance exam.

  Wang Hu Sheng and Wang Jie Fang were at Shi Qing Feng's private club, eating delicious food and drinking spicy liquor. Every time they went to Shi Qing Feng, they looked radiant and refreshed, especially Wang Jie Fang, who had just conquered the deputy manager of a certain Xu Nian's half-old private club next door. It is said that now when members of Shi Qing Feng go there for massage and fitness, they can enjoy discounted treatment, with each person getting special perks. Chen Er Gou knew about this semi-private club, which although not as famous as Shi Qing Feng, had a small reputation in Nanjing, especially its spa and yoga sections, which attracted rich housewives who didn't know where to spend their money. Chen Er Gou was really worried that Wang Jie Fang's "gun" would conquer them all at once.

  One day, Chen Erdou received a call from an unfamiliar number, and it was actually Zhou Jingzhen, a beautiful woman who could be called Xu Niang, half old and still with charm. She was in Suzhou and hastily told Chen Erdou that Wei Dongchong was about to arrive at Nanjing Train Station. She had an urgent matter and couldn't leave, so she quickly hung up the phone after telling Chen Erdou the train number. Chen Erdou immediately took the Audi car key and went downstairs. The incident of Qiao Bazi being killed by Guo Daxian had not passed yet, and he didn't want to mess things up at this critical moment, so he called Wang Hulang as soon as he got in the car, asking him to hurry over too.

  Fortunately, they arrived at the train station and waited for over ten minutes before seeing Wei Dongcao safe and sound. In less than three months, the little girl seemed to have lost her initial arrogance as a rich family's daughter and the unique aura of being Wei Duan Gong's daughter. When she saw Chen Er Gou, she didn't show any emotional fluctuations, but simply followed him silently into the familiar Audi A6. She didn't even bother to glance at Chen Er Gou, who was wearing a suit, and her eyes, which used to be cunning and sinister, were now dull and lifeless. Chen Er Gou felt a pang of heartache; although Wei Dongcao had been unreasonable and sharp-tongued in the past, she was still more likable than the apathetic girl she was now. Chen Er Gou didn't dare ask what had happened during this time, but only softly asked where they were going.

  "Have you moved into Zhongshan Golf?" Wei Dongchong asked lightly.

  Chen Ergou nodded.

  "That's right, you're going to be a servant of the Wei family for the rest of your life." Wei Dongchong said in a low voice, this time without his usual mockery. Perhaps he didn't have the energy to despise him, and he slumped in the back corner, weakly saying: "Then go to Zhongshan Golf, driver."

  "After a few minutes, Wei Dongchong suddenly said: 'Go to Shanshui Huamen.'"

  Chen Ergou nodded, this child must have suffered a great blow. Wei Duan Gong's children are proud and arrogant, but without the protection of their father, they went to Beijing alone in such a big city, it is impossible not to suffer some hardships and setbacks. After this ordeal, the difference was immediately apparent. Chen Ergou looked at Wei Dong Chong again and no longer felt sorry for him. It's good for flowers raised in a greenhouse to be moved out and exposed to the sun and rain. He pitied her, who would pity him?

  "But I lost my key and can't get in." Wei Dong said dazedly.

  "I'll help you solve it." Chen Ergou said with a clenched jaw, his expression still calm. She couldn't get him to pick stars and moons for her, but doing small things was really not something that could stump Chen Ergou.

  The withered insect in the corner, Wei Dongchong, glanced at the man who seemed different from a few months ago and lowered his head again.

  As they drove onto General Avenue, Chen Ergou suddenly said in a gloomy tone: "Winter insect, can you come to the front and fasten your seatbelt? It's a bit of trouble."

  Wei Dongchong raised his head, with a look of sudden astonishment on his face, which was slightly darkened by the wind and sun, just like Chen Ergou's. His face was filled with incomprehension.

  Chen Ergou didn't say why, and turned his head to reveal a smiling face.

  Then Wei Dongchong climbed to the front row of the co-pilot seat in a not-so-good-looking posture, fastened his seatbelt, and this may be the biggest difference between him and Wei Xiacao.

  Wei Dongchong sat up straight, and Chen Ergou narrowed his eyes to glance at the two cars behind them in the rearview mirror. One was a Land Rover, and the other was a Lexus ES350. The first one had been tailing them from the Zhongshan Golf Course entrance all the way to Nanjing Train Station before disappearing for a while, only to reappear on Jiangjun Avenue. The other one had been following them all the way from Nanjing Train Station to here. Although they had also been followed by cars when they went to Shanghai Pudong International Airport last time, it wasn't as blatant as this time. Were they finally unable to hold back and wanted to bare their fangs and pounce on their prey? Chen Ergou's hand felt around the steering wheel, and he turned his head to look at Wei Dongchong, who also sensed that something was off. He said in a low voice, "Don't be afraid, if the sky falls down, I'll take the hit for you first."

  Suddenly accelerating, the Audi A6 sped away, instantly increasing the distance from 20 meters to over 100 meters.

  Wei Dongchu's small face turned pale, but his eyes had a hint of luster.

  The two cars behind were emitting a fierce and ruthless aura, as if they had the intention of going down together. On the straight road, it was a competition of car performance, with not much technique to speak of. Even a master like Jiang Zifang would be humiliated by a third-rate driver in a Lamborghini on General's Avenue if he were driving a broken Santana. Fortunately, this Audi A6 had decent performance, plus some hidden modifications, and after several accelerations to 220 km/h, it still felt like there was plenty of room for improvement. This allowed the Audi to narrowly escape several close calls of being rear-ended.

  Audi A6 and Land Cruiser as well as Lexus are like three-tailed fish, swimming quickly on General Avenue.

  Chen Ergou didn't drive into the mountains and get himself trapped, but instead led the two Audi cars behind him to a more remote and secluded road section. After several beautiful drifts, Chen Ergou pulled away from the Lexus by over 40 meters, and the slightly heavier Land Cruiser no longer seemed to pose a threat to his car. However, Chen Ergou knew that if he continued driving on this road, he would eventually be caught up with. Since the opponent was well-prepared, they wouldn't give up until they had taken him down. What he feared most was that after narrowly escaping the encirclement of the two cars, an enemy lying in wait at a certain intersection ahead would seize the opportunity to strike. This was a tactic he and Fugui often used when hunting in the mountains - first, several eagles would discover the prey and start chasing it, then Chen Ergou would chase after it with his black leopard, before handing over to Fugui and Bai Xiong to continue the pursuit. Once the animal was exhausted, it would be easy to deliver a fatal blow. Chen Ergou feared that he might be toyed with to death by an unknown opponent in the same way.

  In the Shanghai Arrow Pavilion, he still managed to seize an opportunity to try and turn the tables on Zhao Kunpeng, showing that Chen Ergou was not one to be easily defeated.

  "Sit tight, if you're scared, just close your eyes." Chen Ergou said softly, and at the critical moment, he even managed to reach out and touch Wei Dongchu's head.

  She didn't close her eyes, but instead opened them even wider.

  Accelerate, blast off in one breath to 240 yards.

  The Lexus behind was also teased all the way, seeing the possibility of being overtaken, and it went crazy, stepping on the accelerator to the end, biting its teeth and holding back a mouthful of anger, rushing up. Chen Er Gou accelerated to 240 yards, made a pose once, and immediately slowed down to 230, soon to be 220, then 210, because it was a gradual decline process, even Wei Dong Chong in the car did not notice. The Lexus ES350 finally approached its target step by step after reaching its maximum horsepower, and in the excitement, no one noticed this negligible detail.

  Just as he was about to overtake the Audi A6 by half a car length, the Audi suddenly slammed on the brakes without warning, causing the Lexus to speed far ahead. But the Audi didn't stop there; it accelerated again to its limits and chased after the Lexus. In an instant, the two cars switched roles - the Audi A6, which had been being pursued, became the hunter, while Chen Ergou seized the opportunity and bit into the rear of the Lexus with a nearly overbearing attitude, sending the E350 out of control and crashing into the guardrail. As he took advantage of this twisted momentum, Chen Ergou turned the steering wheel sharply, producing a beautiful 360-degree drift that was almost elegant. The screeching tires and roaring engine drowned out Chen Ergou's wild gasps for breath, as well as Wei Dongchu's stunned screams after his near-death experience.

  The land cruiser finally arrived late, roughly saw this scene, estimated the people in the car were scared to death, have seen those who don't care about their lives, but never seen such ruthlessness.

  After a 360-degree spin, the Audi A6 was head-to-head with the Hummer, only about 80 meters apart. Then Chen Erdou accelerated again in a nearly brutal manner, according to Audi's official statement, it takes 9.6 seconds for the car to accelerate from 0 to 100 kilometers per hour, but Chen Erdou knew that his modified Audi would take around 8 seconds. The car then charged straight at the Hummer, as if it was a matter of life and death.

  At first, the land cruiser was still relying on its vehicle advantage with a "you dare to hit me and I'll hit you" attitude. However, when they were 30 meters apart, it immediately changed. After all, this game didn't have the opportunity to restart from a saved file; if you died, you died, and if you became disabled, you became disabled. In the last 10 meters, the driver of the land cruiser could almost see that calm and serene face. He finally couldn't withstand the torture of dancing with death, making a sharp turn, rushing towards the railing at an angle, and the two cars passed each other by a hair's breadth, both sides having narrowly escaped disaster.

  A tattooed man with a buzz cut stumbled out of the Lexus that Audi had rear-ended, looking like he wasn't too badly hurt. Seeing this, the man who had just lit a cigarette dropped it to the ground, his eyes already blazing with fury now filled with bloodshot veins. He punched the car window and bellowed: "F*** my ancestors eighteen generations! Let me play with this lunatic's life, I'll dig up the grave of Old Man Qiao's eighth finger!"

  "Madman, madman..."

  A man inside the land cruiser completely collapsed, covered in blood, tears streaming down his face, repeating a phrase over and over.

  ——————————————

  Chen Ergou was not crazy, the more dangerous he was in, the clearer he became. He was just a mountain man who was not used to leaving his back to beasts, and when he came to the big city, he encountered opponents like Zhao Jia Gongzi, who seemed impossible to overcome, but still wanted to struggle. Now that he is no longer poor, he has not only won the heart of a beautiful city girl, but also gained the favor of Zhuge Lao Shenxian and Chen Jia Dajie, becoming the driver of the Wei family, and the future owner of Shi Qingfeng's private club. So he became more and more like a city person, more and more cunning, and more and more aware of speculation and adventure.

  A real man should never refuse a gamble in life's game of chance.

  Found a place with less people to park the car, Chen Ergou checked the Audi A6 and found no major problems, just a damaged front bumper, which can be fixed easily. Fang Jie wanted to blame him, he had made up his mind that when the time comes, he would pay out of his own pocket, if it's not enough, he would use Zhang Xiangxiang's crazy woman's card money first, he didn't believe this money wouldn't come back in the future.

  Wei Dongchong's heart was racing with excitement, she thought that even if she were to meet another man like Li Kuafu who was determined to spend the rest of his life with her, it wouldn't be possible for him to be as over-the-top as this.

  All the way down, she never closed her eyes. Whatever Chen Ergou said or did, she remembered it firmly in her little brain. She was very curious about why a small security guard who voluntarily raised dogs for them could drive so well. Her old man also liked to speed up in his broken Jili car, and Guo Qietu's wooden stick had been forced to be thrown several times, so Wei Dongchong wasn't an outsider. She understood what Chen Ergou's series of dazzling actions meant, but she didn't understand how this man dared to play that trick at the last moment. A normal person should run faster and spread their legs to escape, how could they turn back and rush up directly?

  Madman? Neurosis?

  Wei Dongchong shook his head. This guy was quite handsome when he checked the car with a cigarette in his mouth, just like those unscrupulous old men who would walk up to beautiful young women on the street and slap their buttocks while smoking. He was so handsome that it was nauseating. Of course, now Er Gou was still far from being as handsome as Lao Die, but Wei Dongchong had at least put him in the category of "handsome".

  Wei Dongchong jumped out of the car after taking a dozen deep breaths, and saw him squatting on the ground looking at the damaged car lights. She also squatted down beside him, pulling her cheeks to look at his profile, and unconsciously compared him to that man in Beijing. Pouting, she said: "Alas, no matter how I look at you, you're not as handsome as him. You stupid dog, why can't you be more impressive? Even if it's just for me to vent my anger."

  Chen Ergou was smoking with a tilted mouth, worrying about the cost of car lights. Hearing this, he cried and laughed and said: "Big sister, it's not my fault that I'm not handsome."

  "Oh, really."

  Wei Dong Chong said with a hint of surprise, but immediately rolled his eyes and added, "But it's not your fault that you're not as handsome as him."

  "How about that, Li Kuafu is quite a handsome guy, wherever he goes, he can be spotted by women at a glance?" Chen Ergou smiled and knew that since this girl could make jokes, her heart knot had been untied for more than half. He didn't mind being compared to Li Kuafu by her after all, the other was a heavyweight in both Wei Gonggong's and Chen Yuanshu's eyes, an ace among aces, losing to whom wouldn't be shameful.

  "That's right, that guy is the most handsome man besides my dad, what's wrong, are you jealous?" Wei Dongchong chuckled and laughed, it was fortunate that she could laugh like this, after going through such a big storm, an ordinary girl would have already been crying and looking pitiful.

  "I only eat rice and dishes, I even gnaw on garlic, but I don't eat vinegar." Chen Ergou stood up, leaning against the car head, spitting out clouds of smoke.

  "Second Dog, want me to tell you the story of how I left home for several months?" Wei Dongchong sat on the car cover, tilting his head and asking Chen Second Dog.

  "I don't want to hear it, some romantic nonsense between a rich girl and a spoiled brat. I'm not in the mood for this, I've still got to worry about how to explain this to your aunt, and who knows, maybe even foot the bill for the car repairs. When do I get to be rich enough to drink coffee, eat Western food, and play golf? Then you can tell me your story." Chen Ergou said with a smile.

  "You dare to disobey me? Do you believe I'll hit you?" Wei Dongchong said with a menacing tone.

  "Believe it." Chen Ergou gave a boring answer that left Wei Dongchong no room for imagination.

  "Second Brother, can I smoke?"

  Wei Dong Chong asked in a low voice, seeing him turn his head to look at her, she looked nothing like a 14-year-old girl and lowered her head, saying: "In Beijing, I bought cigarettes, but didn't smoke one."

  "But just one puff. Don't mind, I'll just take a drag of this one, I brush my teeth every day, guaranteed no bad breath." Chen Erdou handed the cigarette to Wei Dongchong, who didn't think much of it, but felt that he had done something worthwhile for the first time in his life, and that was enough.

  Wei Dongchu took a small sip and choked.

  Chen Ergou smiled brightly, but didn't have a gloating expression.

  "Actually, nothing happened in three months. I was just looking for a super cool stranger in big Beijing. Finally found one. I said, hey, Li Kuafu, I'm Wei Donggong's daughter, Wei Dongchong. Er Gou, do you know? Then the man standing next to a woman who is even more beautiful than my mom when she was young said two sentences."

  Wei Dongchong took a drag, but didn't return the cigarette to Chen Ergou. Instead, he watched it burn bit by bit and continued to tell a simple yet heartbreaking story in a tone that was almost devoid of sorrow: "Then, he said his first sentence, 'Wei Duan Gong? I don't know him.' His second sentence was, 'Oh, I remember now, the eunuch from Nanjing... sorry, do eunuchs have daughters too?'"

  Wei Dongchong didn't cry, but instead smiled a little sadly, like the second butterfly that Chen Ergou saw in his dull and simple life that couldn't fly over the vast ocean. (To know what happens next, please log in, more chapters available, support the author, support the official version!)
