Chapter 863: Eight hundred fifty-eight real good people

It felt like someone had injected chicken blood into his head.

The next second, Gu Chen’s foot shot out and kicked the burly man’s abdomen.

The strength of this kick was incredibly powerful, sending the burly man flying through the air in an instant.

He flew for almost three meters before crashing down onto the van he had come from.

With a loud and crisp crash, the rear compartment of the van caved in, forming a pit.

All the surrounding drivers were a bit slow to respond to the scene.

No one had expected Gu Chen to strike so swiftly.

Even more incomprehensible to them was how Gu Chen, with his slight frame, could unleash such formidable strength.

The burly man before them appeared to be completely unable to resist.

"You dare to hit someone? Brothers, get him!"

"Take this kid down. Tonight we’re going to have some fun."

His group of lackeys, upon seeing their burly comrade beaten, swarmed toward Gu Chen.

One after another, towering and muscular men rushed at Gu Chen.

Gu Chen, facing their approach, maintained a tranquil and serene expression.

He seemed to not care at all about the goons before him.

As they charged at him, each was greeted by a punch from Gu Chen.

Though his physique was slender, the power of his punches was more painful than a steel pipe hitting a body.

One punch was enough to dislocate the jaw of one of them.

After just a few short minutes, the entire gang of henchmen who had been so ferocious before now lay on the ground.

Each one bore an agonized expression on their faces.

They were practically on the verge of bursting into tears then and there.

The onlooking crowd at this point were struck dumb.

No one had anticipated that Gu Chen’s moves would be so decisive and skilled, clearly the work of a trained fighter.

What was more, Gu Chen’s physical fitness was exceptionally good.

Even though his body didn’t seem to possess great muscles, the power he unleashed outstripped that of the burly men by far.

At that moment, the roles seemed to reverse, with Gu Chen appearing to be the one who could kill a cow with a single punch.

Everyone around was silent, as if unsure of what to say.

It was at this moment that Gu Chen spoke up.

He turned his gaze to the truck driver.

"Go make the call."

Gu Chen felt that a simple lesson was sufficient, but more needed to be done, which wasn’t his responsibility—it was time to call for others to come over.

The driver nodded blankly, then hastily went inside the supermarket.

The burly men were now worse off than before, their faces filled with pain.

Watching Gu Chen from the sidelines, Ji Pianran’s face was a picture of astonishment.

He had never imagined Gu Chen could strike with such ferocity.

What’s more, he had been completely unaware that Gu Chen was a trained fighter.

From the speed with which Gu Chen had stopped his attack and his explosive power, it was evident he must train regularly.

But in Ji Pianran’s memory, he had never seen Gu Chen go to a gym or similar places.

Usually, Gu Chen wouldn’t even leave the house to jog; his day ended with cooking after returning home.

Could it be possible to achieve such an impressive level of physical fitness just through cooking?

He had no doubt that Gu Chen now possessed the talent to be a professional boxer.

The drivers around now watched Gu Chen’s control of the situation.

The expressions on everyone’s face were very strange.

It was as if they couldn’t believe Gu Chen could do it, yet they were somewhat astonished by Gu Chen’s chivalrous spirit.

"This young boss is such a good person."

"Isn’t that the truth? This clearly has nothing to do with him, yet he chose to stand up at this moment."

"That’s why people can be wealthy, isn’t it? It’s all about their character."

"Never thought these oil thieves would finally get their comeuppance today."

"These people just need to be properly punished, to understand what consequences mean."

"It was obvious from the car he drove, this boss is a wealthy man."

At this time, the surrounding onlookers were all busily discussing.

Their discussions were mainly about Gu Chen.

Nobody could have imagined Gu Chen would take action so decisively now.

At this moment, everyone was filled with more admiration for Gu Chen.

Not only because Gu Chen was very wealthy, but also because of the sense of righteousness in him.

Despite having no relation to the matter, Gu Chen had risked his life to help.

At a time when nobody else dared to act, Gu Chen didn’t hesitate to intervene.

On this point alone, Gu Chen had surpassed the vast majority of people.

By now, the driver had also finished his call and hurried back.

After returning, he immediately stood in front of Gu Chen and grabbed his hand.

"Boss, I really want to thank you for tonight."

"If it weren’t for you, my oil would probably have been gone."

The driver was very moved as he spoke to Gu Chen.

If it wasn’t for Gu Chen’s intervention, he would’ve woken up the next day to see nothing but an empty oil tank.

And the only thing left for him would have been the tears on his face.

"It was nothing, just lending a hand. I happened to see, so I intervened."

Gu Chen was very casual about it, as if he didn’t think too much of the incident.

Helping out like this wasn’t a big deal for Gu Chen.

He always found such situations completely normal.

His own conscience wouldn’t allow him to just stand idly by and watch.

Although Gu Chen spoke simply, the driver still wanted to properly repay him.

But seeing the way Gu Chen dressed and the car he drove, it was clear Gu Chen wasn’t someone in need of money.

Under such circumstances, he believed it would be very difficult to repay Gu Chen.

"Boss, please let me know if there’s anything I can do for you. Just say the word, and I’ll be sure to help."

He didn’t know how else to thank Gu Chen.

So he could only speak to Gu Chen in such a way, hoping to offer a little help.

"You don’t need to do anything. Just be more careful when you sleep.

Don’t park your truck in such hidden spots.

And be more cautious in the future.

If you find yourself in a similar situation, it’s better to give up the oil than to risk your life."

Gu Chen simply gave him the advice.

These words were completely well-intentioned guidance.

Hearing Gu Chen’s advice, the driver was even more moved.

He knew that what Gu Chen had done was truly altruistic.
