Chapter 862: 857 Didn’t expect it to be the little boss

"What does a box of oil mean to them? It has nothing to do with me," he scoffed at Gu Chen, as if finding Gu Chen’s words amusing.

It was clear that the coldness in his eyes was not feigned.

This guy trying to evoke any sympathy from him was utterly impossible.

Initially, Gu Chen had wanted to have a reasonable talk with the guy, but now he realized that there seemed to be no point in saying anything at all.

After all, such scum wouldn’t change just because of a few words.

However, the words Gu Chen had just spoken resonated with quite a few of the drivers present.

To them, a box of oil was extremely important; nearly every one of them had experienced oil theft.

Each time their oil was stolen, it felt like they were plunged into despair.

Despite all their efforts, they could never prevent these incidents.

The oil seemed to disappear as though it could seep through any barrier, always finding a chance to drain away their livelihoods.

"Today, I’m telling you, I’m taking this box of oil, and all the oil at this rest station too. Anyone who dares to stop me, let’s see if they’re tough enough!"

As he said this, he suddenly snapped the steel pipe he was holding in his hands.

This display of strength was truly shocking.

The surrounding drivers had already gathered to watch, but now all they could do was look on helplessly.

Anger was evident in their eyes. If anger could kill, this guy would have died many times over by now.

Unfortunately, anger was just that—anger, serving no practical use.

If they did nothing, they could only watch.

The driver currently being robbed of his oil was also clenching his fists tightly at this moment.

"I’m telling you, I’m going to make a call!" the driver said to the burly men.

Over the Shoulder Dragon laughed dismissively when he heard this.

"You want to make a call, huh? Fine, go ahead and make your call. I want to see if they arrive faster than you can stay alive."

Having said that, he watched as his cronies also began to laugh uproariously.

"You still want to make a call? Believe it or not, the moment your call goes through, I could make you spend the rest of your life in a hospital bed,"

one of his cronies said, pressing a stick against the driver’s forehead.

The threat was chilling to the core.

It felt as if there was no hope left.

Anyone facing this situation would feel utter despair,

for this gang acted as if they feared neither heaven nor earth, seemingly unbound by anyone.

At this moment, the driver also didn’t know what to do.

He had never imagined he would experience such an ordeal today.

And everything that happened that night was just like what Gu Chen had seen on the news that day.

This gang of oil thieves was incredibly arrogant, fearing nothing.

Even if discovered by the drivers, they showed no fear and even threatened them right there.

It was almost no different from a robbery.

Just then, a voice suddenly broke through.

"Daddy."

Gu Chen slowly turned his head and saw Tiantian coming down from the truck.

Not just him, but Ji Pianran as well walked down.

Tiantian hurriedly ran to Gu Chen’s side, while Ji Pianran also looked at Gu Chen with a worried expression.

The mother and daughter had just been asleep; they hadn’t expected to wake up and witness such a scene.

When everyone saw the car driven by Gu Chen, they were all surprised.

This minivan driven by Gu Chen was worth at least several hundred thousand yuan, and they hadn’t expected Gu Chen to be such a major boss.

Even the burly man was quite surprised at this time.

However, when the burly man’s gaze fell on Ji Pianran, his eyes immediately lit up.

His eyes also revealed a greedy look.

"I didn’t expect him to be a small boss with such a beautiful wife."

The burly man sneered there.

At this moment, his henchmen also shifted their gaze, lingering on Ji Pianran.

Feeling their malicious stares, Gu Chen instantly became a different person.

"I’m only giving you one chance now, leave immediately," Gu Chen knew they outnumbered him, and Tiantian was still here.

He didn’t want to start a fight and risk Tiantian getting hurt.

If that happened, things would really get out of hand.

However, upon hearing Gu Chen’s words, the burly man sized him up.

"I say, small boss, have you been pampered by others for too long? You even want to meddle in my business," he said, taunting Gu Chen.

Anyone looking at Gu Chen at that moment would not think him capable of much.

After all, Gu Chen looked no different from a frail child.

His slight build could hardly fight a person, let alone win against a monkey.

Compared to the burly man in front of him, with his rugged build, who looked like he could kill a bull.

"How about this, small boss, since you are so kind-hearted, why don’t we return everything and you just compensate us?"

The burly man suddenly glanced around, as if he had thought of a solution.

Gu Chen looked at him and didn’t expect any decency from this guy’s mouth.

"Each of us takes ten thousand yuan.

And tonight, let your wife go for a ride in our car.

Tomorrow morning, you can pick up your wife at the highway entrance, and we’ll call it even," the burly man coldly told Gu Chen.

While he was speaking, his gaze kept resting on Ji Pianran.

Anyone could see what he was plotting.

When Ji Pianran heard this, disgust filled her face.

The drivers around hadn’t expected the burly man to be so brazen.

Gu Chen was standing right there, and he dared to say such words in front of Gu Chen.

For a man, this was a provocation to a man’s dignity.

Upon hearing this, Gu Chen also fell silent, knowing that there was no need to discuss anything further with him.

It was useless to talk to the dregs of society like him.

"You’re asking for it," Gu Chen said.

No sooner had he finished speaking than they saw Gu Chen’s figure rush forward.

He clawed toward the burly man’s neck.

The burly man was completely caught off guard, and Gu Chen’s speed was just too fast.

It felt merely like a blur.

After his claw caught the burly man’s neck, his face immediately turned red.
