After leaving the black market, Song Baiyu wanted to call Li Manni to express his gratitude, but no one answered.
"She knew when the transaction would end, no reason not to answer the phone at this time?" Ten minutes later, Song Baiyu called again and still no one answered, he raised an eyebrow.
It was also at this time that Song Baiyu realized he knew too little about Li Manni, only knowing her phone number and nothing else. Thinking of himself not only getting the Tengold wood from Li Manni, but also buying the Dihenancao with her help today, these two things are rare treasures in the Xiu Zhen world, Song Baiyu felt guilty, he may not have treated Li Manni as a good friend, but Li Manni's behavior was undoubtedly treating him as a close friend.
"Do you still remember me, little careless guy." Just as Song Baiyu was hesitating whether to return to Jinyang City first and then return the black card to Li Manni tomorrow, a loud voice rang in his ears.
"Ah, it's you, big brother. What's up?" Song Baiyu turned his head to take a look and found that it was the middle-aged man from the black market transaction earlier, the one with the grandson. Song Baiyu felt a chill in his heart.
"After meeting you at the trading fair, my family's elder has been thinking of you constantly and would like to invite you to our home for a visit. Please don't decline, young brother." The middle-aged man said politely after seeing that Song Baiyu recognized him.
Song Baiyu kept staring at the middle-aged man, finding that although his words were polite, his tone was very stiff, leaving no room for refusal. Moreover, within a few seconds of speaking, he glanced at Song's van three times. A van couldn't possibly attract his attention, and Song suddenly remembered the Danshen grass he had just bought on the black market, making him instantly vigilant.
"Sorry, big brother. I'm waiting for a friend right now and can't accept your invitation for the time being. Can you leave me your address? Song Mou will definitely come to visit and apologize another day!" Song Baiyu cupped his hands together in a polite gesture and replied.
When the middle-aged man heard Song Baiyu's words, he was about to lose his temper with a raised eyebrow. However, when he inadvertently saw Song Baiyu's fist-bumping gesture, his expression changed dramatically. That was a unique way of communication in the Xiu Xian world, and he had also vaguely heard Grandpa mention it before. He didn't expect to see it on this young man, which meant that this young man's background wasn't simple. No wonder Grandpa repeatedly emphasized the need to be polite when speaking with him before coming here.
Since that's the case, Li didn't force the issue. Here's my business card, I hope you'll visit my humble abode when you have time, little brother." After saying this, the middle-aged man couldn't help but take another admiring glance at Song Boyu's van before reluctantly taking his leave.
Seeing the middle-aged man leave, Song Baiyu finally breathed a sigh of relief. The pressure the middle-aged man had given him was too great, and he had even prepared to escape at any moment. After all, the Xiu Zhen realm was a place where the weak were preyed upon by the strong, and since he currently had rare and precious herbs on his person, it was entirely possible that the other party would forcibly rob him.
Just now, Song Baiyu also communicated with the other party in a unique way of Xiuzhenjie, with a speculative attitude, just wanting to make the other party misunderstand himself and have scruples. Unexpectedly, the other party really understood his unique gestures, not only did his momentum weaken immediately, but he also followed himself with classical Chinese.
"It seems that this grandfather and grandson duo didn't have any malicious intentions towards me, otherwise I would have lost my life in Shacheng today." Song Baiyu muttered to himself as he thought back on the two encounters with the duo today.
Song Baiyu's gaze fell on the platinum business card in his hand, and he found that it was printed with a few large characters shining with golden light, Li Cun Tie, and there was also a row of phone numbers below. He solemnly put the business card into his own pocket, and a smile appeared on Song Baiyu's face. Since the other party had given him a business card, going to the Li family would definitely be unavoidable, but it would not be today, rather after his strength had improved.
"Hey kid, we've been a bit tight on cash lately, can you lend us some money?" Just as Song Baiyu had put away his business card, he heard a sarcastic voice whispering in his ear.
Song Baiyu raised an eyebrow, and found that while he was lost in thought, he had been surrounded by over a dozen people. These men were rubbing their fists and glaring at him with ill intentions. The leader of the group was about Song Baiyu's age, but his body was much more robust than Song Baiyu's. On his arm, two green dragon tattoos seemed to be hiding in plain sight.
Seeing these people with their footsteps floating and bodies slack, Song Baiyu let out a breath of relief. Today, that Li surname grandfather and grandson had almost left a shadow in his heart. He thought it was another cultivator coming to find him again.
In his heart, Song Baiyu was pondering the true intentions of these people coming to him, but on the surface, he remained calm and composed.
"Hey, you little punk has some nerve, daring not to respond to me." The tattooed youth walked up to Song Baiyu and found that after saying a few words, the other party not only didn't respond but also didn't even give him a glance. He stretched out his hand and slapped Song Baiyu in the face, shouting loudly: "You don't know how to show respect, everyone smash this car for me, until it's completely destroyed!"
"Slow down!" Song Baiyu heard that the other party was about to fight at the slightest disagreement, and knew that they were not here for money. He smiled and said: "Why hurt each other's feelings? I have plenty of money, there are over 2 million in the car. I just came out of the black market and made a bit of small change."
"This..." Song Baiyu's attitude changed too suddenly, and seeing Song Baiyu smiling brightly at him, the tattooed youth's palm hovering in mid-air couldn't fall. The others also stopped their actions of smashing the car after hearing Song Baiyu's loud shout, and their eyes turned to Song Baiyu and the tattooed youth.
"Kid, you really have 20 million? Two hundred million people would drive a broken van like that?" The tattooed youth looked at Song Baiyu in confusion and then sized up the van behind him.
"You don't understand, do you? A van is for carrying goods. Do I have to drive a Ferrari to transport goods? And this watch, do you recognize it? Patek Philippe, made in Switzerland, handcrafted, each model takes at least 5 years from design to production, worth over $30 million..." Song Boyu shook his arm, "showing off".
"Kid, it's rare that you're so smart. Alright, hand over your money and watch, and big brother will let you off the hook today." The tattooed youth stared at Song Baiyu's arm with shining eyes, completely unaware of the hint of mockery in Song Baiyu's eyes.
"Wealth is an external thing, I've never kept it on me. But can I ask, which boss did I offend that you need to bring so many brothers here?" Song Baiyu said as he took off the watch from his wrist, but instead of handing it over to the tattooed youth, he smiled and asked.
"Listen, kid, I'm telling you the truth. We were ordered by Brother Xiong to come and take you away. The problem is that you don't know how to behave, daring to flirt with Sister Na like that. Brother Xiong has had a crush on Sister Na for many years, but she never gave him a good look. And yet, you're different - not only did Sister Na personally go to pick you up, but she also said she wanted to invite you to dinner. Isn't this just asking for trouble?"
"Oh, I see! Where is Sister Nana now?" Song Baiyu asked with a look of sudden realization.
"Sister Na was of course tricked by Brother Huang, I said you little brat why do you talk nonsense so much, hurry up and hand over the watch and money." After saying this, the tattooed youth suddenly reached out to grab the watch from Song Boyu's hand.
"Wait, when did I say I'd give you my watch and money?" The tattooed youth was so angry that he spat out blood. Song Bo Yu's hand suddenly shrank back, avoiding his lightning-fast grab, and even asked him very seriously.
As soon as Song Baiyu finished speaking, more than half of the dozen or so thugs surrounding him burst out laughing, but they immediately stopped when the tattooed youth glared at them, their faces red with suppressed laughter.
The tattooed youth thought about Song Baiyu's words earlier, Song Baiyu said he had two million cash and a valuable watch, but Song Baiyu didn't say he would give the money and watch to himself, it was his own assumption that in this situation, the other party would definitely give him these things, so he didn't immediately beat up Song Baiyu.
Since his debut, the tattooed youth had never been ridiculed like this before. For a moment, he was furious, and all the blue veins on his forehead bulged out.
"You're asking for it, don't blame others." The tattooed youth glared at Song Baiyu with anger in his eyes, pointing at him and gritting his teeth: "Beat him up until his mother can't recognize him, and we'll split the money on the car later!"
At the same time as shouting, the tattooed youth let out a loud laugh and kicked Song Bo Yu with one foot in mid-air.
The rest of the dozen or so thugs also turned serious and started chopping towards Song Baiyu with their weapons. At this time, they did not lose their composure, but rather subtly surrounded Song Baiyu in the middle to prevent him from escaping.
"Don't listen to him, this kid is a scammer, there's nothing in the car except for a few pots of flowers, not even a penny." Song Baiyu dodged the tattooed youth's kick with ease and shouted loudly.
"Hmph!"
"Haha!"
"Whoa!"
Everyone was stunned when they heard the sentence, and when they found out that it was Song Baiyu who shouted it, the tattooed youth was so angry that he almost fell to the ground, and the momentum of the other dozen or so thugs also came to a halt. Several of them couldn't help but burst out laughing, forgetting the tattooed youth's orders and not continuing their attack on Song Baiyu.
