Chapter 1154: Such a Guide

The youth added the person as a friend and immediately, the other party sent a photo of the same child, as well as a photo of the child being held by its true parents. The other party left a message and said, “That is really my child. Someone abducted him a week ago. Please, help me.”

The youth looked at the situation before him. He knew that he couldn’t watch idly any further, so he replied, “Don’t worry, leave everything to me! I’m a Han warrior!”

Then, the youth stood up abruptly and shouted. “I’m a Han warrior. Nobody move!”

With that said, the youth rushed over and stood in front of Fangzheng. Then, he pointed at the couple and said, “You are not allowed to leave! No one is allowed to leave unless you pay a compensation!”

He knew very well that although he had contacted the victims on WeChat, the situation was too chaotic. If he were to come forward and give a completely new explanation now, no one would bother hearing it. He might as well go with the flow and stall them. After all, the police would be arriving soon.

The youth’s sudden stepping in left everyone dumbfounded. Even Fangzheng believed that he had stepped forward to beat him up at first.

Yet to his surprise, the youth was on his side. Fangzheng suspected that he was a fake teammate.

As for the driver and the others, they began cursing after a moment of being stunned. “Another bastard!”

The others also began to criticize the youth. Only then did the youth realize that not everyone could face mass criticism and pressure. He couldn’t help but admire Fangzheng’s thick skin, at how he managed to continue making a fuss despite the immense pressure. This was basically someone with skin made of ox hide!

“There’s no point talking anymore. Attack! Take them down and send them to the police station!” The Hani man was about to take action.

At that moment, a police siren sounded. The girl said in pleasant surprise, “The police are here!”

When everyone heard that the police had arrived, the people who were about to attack stopped and sneered. “The police are here. Let’s see where you can go now!”

The young man turned back to look at Fangzheng. Exchanging looks, they saw a relieved look in each other’s eyes.

Only then did the young man become certain that the fellow in front of him was probably in the same situation as him. He had realized that something was amiss, which was why he put on such a show. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been so calm when he heard that the police were there. He would have long fled.

At that moment, someone suddenly pushed the youth’s shoulder. “Move!”

At the same time, the bus door opened, and the couple suddenly rushed down the bus!

The child’s father wanted to push Fangzheng away, but it felt like he was pushing against a wall. He ended up being thrown back!

Fangzheng smiled. “Patrons, uh, ahem… Friends, where are you going? The police are here. Let’s get the police to judge and see if you should compensate me for my Manchu Han Imperial Feast. How about that?”

“You!” When the couple heard that, they looked at Fangzheng’s smile and immediately understood. They hadn’t met a hooligan, but a hero who was righting a wrong.

The child’s ‘father’ roared angrily and suddenly took out a fruit knife which he thrust forward!

“Be careful!” In the blink of an eye, the Lahu teenager rushed forward and tried to block the knife for Fangzheng.

Fangzheng never expected the boy to be righteous to such a degree. Furthermore, he was as brave as a warrior. He hurriedly took action to protect the child and grabbed the man’s hand with his other hand, preventing the fruit knife from stabbing the boy.

Almost at the same time, the driver roared. “So you are the son of a b*tch!” He raised his leg and kicked.

With a loud bang, the baby’s father screamed and was sent flying more than a meter out.

When the child’s mother saw this, she raised her baby and shouted. “Move away, or I’ll smash him to death!”

When Fangzheng heard that, he immediately produced a hand seal, the Inner Lion Seal, to control her.

The woman felt herself lose control of her body. Then, she couldn’t help but hand the baby over to the youth opposite her. When the youth saw this, he quickly took the baby.

When the couple saw this, they immediately knew it was over for them. They were doomed.

As expected, the police rushed up almost at the same time. They guessed the situation from what they saw and quickly took control of the situation.

As the police bombarded them with questions, everyone on the bus finally understood that this couple was not a married couple, but a pair of criminals who abducted children! The two of them had been partners for more than a year, and eight children had been abducted by them!

The child in front of them was abducted from Sichuan province and was supposed to be sold somewhere deep in the mountains for a lot of money.

After investigating Fangzheng’s identity, the policeman asked, “What’s the matter with you?”

Fangzheng didn’t hide anything as he recounted what he had heard and seen, as well as his analysis. At the same time, he said with a wry smile, “Back then, I couldn’t explain it without any evidence, so I had to resort to this method. That isn’t illegal, right?”

The policeman smiled and said, “It’s illegal. They will be rewarded with a pair of silver bracelets while you’ll be rewarded with a big red flower ribbon. Do you want it?”

Everyone was originally worried by the policeman’s words, but when they heard the rest, they were all amused.

The policeman said, “Alright, we’ll take them away. If anything happens in the future, call the police to prevent any misunderstandings.”

Upon hearing this, the driver, the green-coated man, the woman behind Fangzheng, as well as the pair of siblings, blushed. Everyone exchanged looks and went up to Fangzheng. “Sorry… We scolded you so fiercely just now.”

Fangzheng subconsciously wanted to press his palms together, but then he recalled that he was no longer a monk. Hence, he raised his hand and scratched his head. “Everyone, you’re being polite. Everyone of us was just fighting for justice, our methods just differed. I was quite touched to see everyone being so righteous.”

When the driver heard that, he laughed out loud and said, “Of course. Although some people call us Yunnanese barbarians, we are clear-minded and warm-hearted. Of course, there are all kinds of black sheep, so let’s not talk about them. Hehe…”

Fangzheng was also amused by the driver’s frankness.

At this moment, the driver said, “We’re at Tuyao Fort. If you want to get off, hurry up! There’s still a long road up ahead. If you’re slow, you’ll have to spend the night in the mountains.”

When Fangzheng heard that, he immediately took out the piece of paper from his wallet. Indeed, his destination was supposed to be Tuyao Fort.

Fangzheng hurriedly bade everyone farewell and got off the bus. Fangzheng was dumbfounded by the rural environment. Other than a tiny shack, there was nothing, let alone a fort! How could such a place be called a fort? Fangzheng even suspected that the driver had tricked him and abandoned him midway.

However, when he turned his head, he saw that the pair of siblings had also gotten off the bus. He knew that he probably wasn’t abandoned, but that he hadn’t figured out the situation.

“Sorry about just now, Brother,” the boy came over and said in embarrassment.

The girl said in a low voice, “Stupid Brother, I told you to figure out the situation before you show your face. And what did you do? You got hot-headed and didn’t care about anything. You almost hit a hero.”

The boy immediately argued back. “How would I know that those two were the bad ones? Besides, didn’t our father say that one must have warm blood flowing in their veins!”

“But we can’t malign good people,” the girl said.

The boy was instantly rendered speechless. He looked at Fangzheng awkwardly and said again, “Sorry, Brother.”

Fangzheng found the child amusing, so he learned the ways of the pugilistic world. “Don’t. Everyone had warm blood pumping in their veins, making us fellow men on the same path. You saved me, and I saved you. This can be considered a friendship of life and death.”

The boy was amused when he heard that. He nodded and asked, “Yes, yes, yes. We have a good relationship. By the way, is Brother also going to Tuyao Fort? I’ve never seen you at our fort before.”

Just as Fangzheng was fretting over how to find Tuyao Fort, he immediately asked, “Are you from Tuyao Fort?”

The boy nodded and said, “Yes, my name is Ji Han. This is my sister, Ji Xiang. How should I address you, Brother?”

Fangzheng said, “Me? My name is Chang Feng.” As he spoke, Fangzheng’s heart was trembling. He looked up into the sky, afraid that he would be struck by lightning. However, claiming Chang Feng’s identity didn’t seem to be considered a lie, so the lightning did not fall.

Fangzheng immediately felt relieved.

“Brother Chang, do you know how to get to Tuyao Fort?” Ji Han’s black eyes darted around.

Fangzheng shook his head. “No.”

“Is that so? Then you can hire me to be your guide. As for the price, you can pay me whatever you think I’m worth. How about that?” Ji Han immediately became a money-grubber as he began scheming. His small eyes were filled with intelligence.

When Fangzheng heard that, he was instantly rendered speechless. He originally thought that the child would bring him over warmly. After all, the two of them were friends forged from life and death circumstances! However, in front of money, their friendship didn’t seem to be very effective. He immediately felt somewhat displeased.

When Ji Xiang heard that, she quickly tugged at Ji Han and said, “Mother said that you can’t just ask for money. Besides, Brother Chang saved your life.”

Ji Han shook his head and said, “I also saved Brother Chang… So we’re square. Besides, Mother said that one needs to earn money with one’s own abilities. I’m using my ability to be a guide, so what’s wrong with that? How about it, Brother Chang Feng?”

Fangzheng thought about it and realized that the boy wasn’t obligated to guide him for free. Furthermore, it was likely that GPS navigation was useless in this crappy place.

Fangzheng subconsciously touched his wallet. He still had quite a bit of money in his wallet, so it wasn’t a problem for him to spend on a guide. Besides, this money was Chang Feng’s, so he didn’t feel the pinch when spending it. Furthermore, he could tell that the child in front of him was from a poor family, so it would be a nice gesture to let him earn some money.

However, the moment he thought of how the punk wanted to make some money from him after he had just saved his life, he still felt a little bitter about it. As for Ji Han saving him? Fangzheng’s skin was not something a fruit knife could stab through. However, he did feel thankful for the nice gesture…

But the more he thought about it, the more uncomfortable he felt.

Nonetheless, Fangzheng nodded. “No problem. I’ll hire you.”

“Haha, Brother Chang Feng has good taste. You won’t regret it. I’m the best guide around!” shouted Ji Han happily.

Ji Xiang didn’t expect Fangzheng to really hire Ji Han. She widened her eyes and looked at the two. However, the corners of her lips curled up. Clearly, she was happy that Ji Han had gotten some business.
