Chapter 725: Chapter 0725: You Must Buy a Ticket to Board

"No way, I can’t be separated from my young master!"

Xiaowen’s face turned cold, knowing from their words that they were up to no good.

"Then forget it. You two just keep waiting."

The middle-aged man smirked coldly and sped off with a press of the accelerator, having initially noted Xiaowen’s good looks and thought if there was a chance to take advantage of her, he could offer her a ride. But since she wasn’t getting in the car, he couldn’t be bothered to play the good guy.

"Bastard."

Xiaowen couldn’t help but curse. If the man hadn’t driven off so quickly, she really wanted to beat him up and then steal the car to escape.

After the Mercedes left, a bus came along. Xiaowen, feeling reckless, jumped into the middle of the road and spread her arms out to stop the bus.

"Are you trying to get killed?"

Tang Ming, who was driving, got a fright. He had seen from a distance earlier that Xiaowen failed to stop a car and had felt a bit of schadenfreude, but now he was shocked to see her jump into the middle of the road. He hastily slammed on the brakes.

If he had hit her, Xiaowen would’ve been gone for good.

"Oh my! What’s going on? How can you drive like this?"

"Argh, damn Tang Ming, my back! I think I’ve thrown it out."

"Thank goodness I buckled up, or I would have been thrown out of the car."

"Luckily I have big breasts, or I would have been crushed to death, hey!"

Due to the sudden stop, everyone on the bus was thrown haphazardly around and started to complain unsettled by the inertia.

Seeing Xiaowen take such a risk, Mo Hongsheng was also scared and rushed forward to pull her back, roaring angrily, "What are you doing? Trying to get yourself killed?"

"It’s okay, it’s okay, the bus has stopped. Let’s get on first, we can pay the fare later. We’ll definitely make it to Wubei City," Xiaowen replied nonchalantly, excitedly rushing to the bus’s door.

"If you want to die, don’t involve my bus!" As the door opened, Tang Ming glared at Xiaowen with an annoyed expression.

"Is that you?" Seeing the driver was Tang Ming, Xiaowen was stunned for a moment, and then she looked inside the bus and saw familiar faces. What a coincidence.

"Young Master, hurry up and get on; they are also heading to Wubei City to celebrate Old Master An’s birthday," Xiaowen quickly called out to Mo Hongsheng to board the bus.

After Mo Hongsheng got on, he too was surprised to see Tang Ming and the others. Indeed, enemies often cross each other’s paths.

"Hey hey, this is our bus, I haven’t agreed to let you on yet."

Tang Ming looked at Mo Hongsheng and Xiaowen with displeasure.

"Our car broke down, and now we, just like you, need to get to Wubei City. Please do us a favor," Mo Hongsheng said, expressionlessly clasping his hands in salute to Tang Ming.

"Are we close? Why should I help you? Besides, that bald man earlier didn’t seem to help you, which suggests you two are a problem," Tang Ming retorted with a scoff, in a lazy tone.

"You’re the one with the problem."

Xiaowen glared fiercely at Tang Ming, petulantly arguing, "Anyway, we’re already on the bus. What can you do about it now?"

"Oh my, are you trying to play tough with me?"

At these words, Tang Ming let out a laugh and turned to shout, "Protectors Zuo and You, throw these two out for me."

As soon as he spoke, Xin Badao and Chu Batian, seated in the last row, stood up simultaneously.

Seeing Xin Badao and Chu Batian getting ready to take action, Xiaowen immediately backed down. Although she knew some martial arts, she was no match for martial masters like Xin Badao and Chu Batian.

"Tang Ming, let’s talk this out. We’re genuinely in a bind. What do you want in exchange for helping us?"

Mo Hongsheng hurriedly opened his mouth to lighten the mood.

"If you want to ride with us, that’s fine, but as you can see, this is a bus, so you need to buy a ticket."

Tang Ming yawned.

"No problem, I’ve said I wouldn’t let you down. How much do you want?"

Mo Hongsheng nodded promptly, knowing Tang Ming wouldn’t help for free.

"One ticket costs ten thousand yuan, so for both of you, that will be a total of thirty thousand yuan for the tickets."

Tang Ming smirked and quoted an exorbitant price.

"You bastard, are you robbing me? Besides, how come it’s thirty thousand for two people?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Wen exploded.

Songlan City was not far from Wubei City. It was only a two-hour high-speed train ride away, and the ticket cost only a few hundred yuan. Tang Ming actually dared to charge thirty thousand, which was extortionate.

"What about the luggage? Is luggage transport free? Besides, this is my vehicle, and I get to decide the fare. Take it or leave it."

Tang Ming yawned again, impatiently saying, "We’re in a hurry, so if you’re not riding, then please get off quickly."

"But this is just too extortionate."

Xiao Wen gritted his teeth and glared at Tang Ming. Although money wasn’t an issue, they couldn’t be fleeced like this.

"Xin Badao, Chu Batian, get them off the bus," Tang Ming, not wanting to waste words, simply gestured to his protectors to kick them out.

"No need, we’ll pay," said Mo Hongsheng emotionlessly, taking out his phone and speaking indifferently, "Mobile payment, who’s taking the money?"

Although furious inside, he was under someone else’s roof and had no choice but to comply.

"I will, I will!" Li Xiaoli was the first to jump out with her phone, ready to receive the transfer from Mo Hongsheng.

Mo Hongsheng quickly scanned the code and transferred the money to Li Xiaoli.

"I am the owner of this vehicle. Why did you give the money to her?" Tang Ming looked at Mo Hongsheng disgruntled and said peevishly, "I don’t accept this money. Either transfer it to me again, or I’m not driving."

"Haha, don’t be so shameless. Neither of us is short of this small amount of money, right?" Mo Hongsheng gave Tang Ming a speechless look, also stubbornly saying, "Anyway, I’ve already given the money to Li Xiaoli. How you two settle this is none of my concern."

Tang Ming pursed his lips and looked at Li Xiaoli disgruntledly, "Transfer the money to me. I was the one who scammed that money."

"No way, we can use this money to go shopping in Wubei City!" Li Xiaoli pocketed her phone, smugly looking at Tang Ming, "If you don’t account for our shopping, then consider this your rent for three more years, how about that?"

"No, no, no! Just spend it as you like, but please, don’t include it in the rent."

Tang Ming’s mouth twitched as he quickly started the car, no longer entangled with Li Xiaoli, fearing that any more quarreling might lead to him being trapped into losing his freedom.

After the car started, Mo Hongsheng and Xiao Wen found two adjacent seats to sit down; as soon as they did, Xin Badao and Chu Batian took seats in front and behind them, closing their eyes to rest but clearly monitoring them.

Being watched by two martial masters of the Poison Sect, even someone with Mo Hongsheng’s resolve felt uncomfortable. These were beings who could kill them with a simple move, and given that they were Poison Sect members, a stealthy poison attack would spell big trouble.

On the way to Wubei City, Li Xiaoli unexpectedly earned thirty thousand yuan, which made her ecstatic. She began discussing loudly with Liu Mengting and Xia Wei’er about how they would splurge the money once they arrived in Wubei City.
