Chapter 864: Eight hundred fifty-nine arriving at the coast

By the time someone arrived, all those gas thieves had been caught.

The night had passed, and it was almost dawn outside.

Many onlookers were now clapping and cheering.

For them, the actions of Gu Chen were the kind that could make news headlines.

It wasn’t an exaggeration to say he could be considered a model hero.

The main reason was that Gu Chen feared neither heaven nor earth, daring to confront so many people alone.

Such courage displayed by Gu Chen was rarely seen in others.

At the very least, the vast majority of people did not possess such ability and courage.

For many, they would have fled from the situation just witnessed.

So at that moment, the way they looked at Gu Chen was truly as one might look at an idol.

"Sir, are you sure you don’t need it?" asked the driver who had just had his fuel stolen, still somewhat unwilling to let it go.

He kept asking whether Gu Chen needed any other kind of help.

Earlier, this guy had taken it upon himself to buy a few bottles of drinks.

Of course, Gu Chen couldn’t accept them; these drivers didn’t earn easily, and those few bottles together cost over ten yuan, which wasn’t a small amount for them.

So Gu Chen insisted that he keep the drinks for himself to slowly enjoy.

If he ever felt sleepy on the road, just a sip could perk him up a bit.

"You don’t need to do anything; just live your life well,"

Gu Chen repeated to him.

Soon after, the sky gradually began to brighten, and Gu Chen decided to leave.

His family of three got into the car.

At that time, all the drivers stood there, their eyes entirely on his family.

It felt almost as if they were all seeing them off ceremonially.

In such circumstances, his family headed back onto the highway.

On the road, Ji Pianran couldn’t hold back anymore and directly spoke to Gu Chen.

"What you did last night was too risky; don’t do that again,"

she said, visibly annoyed.

Clearly, Ji Pianran thought Gu Chen’s actions the previous night had been too risky.

Gu Chen had fought alone, against so many burly men.

One could sense the physical gap between them just by looking at him.

Although Gu Chen ended up winning, and quite decisively,

it wasn’t something Ji Pianran took joy in.

He had won this time but could he win next time?

Besides, those gangsters had many hands on deck, and a single mistake could have left him badly beaten.

Ji Pianran was genuinely worried about Gu Chen and didn’t want him taking such huge risks.

It wasn’t that he lacked kindness or compassion; he just didn’t want the construction of his kindness to come at Such a cost to Gu Chen.

If demonstrating his kindness meant Gu Chen had to take such risks, he’d rather be a villain.

At that moment, that’s exactly what he said.

Gu Chen could only respond with an awkward smile, unsure how to reply.

To Gu Chen, such matters had never really concerned him before.

When he had intervened, he hadn’t thought much about it.

Because, in his eyes, he was quite confident in dealing with those bullies.

If it were not for that confidence, he would not have made a move just now.

Moreover, when he made his move, he had carefully surveyed the current situation.

He could tell that these burly guys, though they had well-developed muscles,

felt notably weak in their bones and sinews.

Thus, facing such opponents, Gu Chen actually was not worried at all.

Although he didn’t have much muscle, his strength was definitely incomparable to that of an ordinary athlete.

Even those athletes who had undergone professional boxing training could only match Gu Chen evenly.

"Remember you have a family," he said, "if something happened to you, how would I and Tangtang cope?"

Ji Pianran then added earnestly to Gu Chen.

Upon hearing this, Gu Chen nodded seriously.

"Don’t worry, it won’t happen again, just this once."

Gu Chen directly said at that moment.

He also knew that behaving this way was likely to worry Ji Pianran.

And what Ji Pianran said was true—having a wife and child at home, going on such adventures really was quite irresponsible.

Ji Pianran nodded then, and closed his eyes.

He stopped thinking about these matters.

Because he knew very well that many things were more complicated than he imagined.

Ji Pianran knew Gu Chen was a kindhearted, warm-hearted person.

In such situations, Gu Chen could not stand idly by.

The words he had just said, Ji Pianran also understood in his heart.

If there were a next time, Gu Chen would still stand up to help.

At that time, he just hoped Gu Chen would understand the great responsibilities he carried.

Driving the car, Gu Chen glanced through the rearview mirror at Tangtang sitting in the back.

At that moment, Tangtang’s face even seemed very excited, giving Gu Chen a thumbs-up.

To Ji Pianran, this was a very risky matter, but not for Tangtang.

In Tangtang’s view, Gu Chen had just done something only a great hero would do.

Especially when the little guy saw Gu Chen make his move and defeat the bad guys, his excitement intensified even more.

This experience was, arguably, more unforgettable than going on a vacation.

After driving for almost several hours, they finally arrived at this coastal city.

Upon arrival, the environment was not quite what Gu Chen had imagined.

This was actually Gu Chen’s first visit here.

Previously, Gu Chen had never tried to come here.

In his previous life, too, he had never visited such places.

As a tourist city, it was certainly costly.

With his salary level from his previous life, it would have been nearly impossible to afford a vacation here.

However, since coming, it still fell somewhat short of his expectations.

In the news he had seen, this city had already been transformed into a tourist attraction.

However, it was clear the city had not yet been further developed.

Therefore, many places in the city were still inadequate.

Nonetheless, it’s undeniable that the city’s beauty was still prominent.

On this coastal highway, one could fully enjoy the unobstructed scenic view of the sea.
