Chapter 114: Young Master Tang, the Fighter Jet in Pretentiousness!

“Kid, why did you stop running? Are you ready to die?” Guo Huai said with a dark face, then demonstratively pulled the bolt of his submachine gun, making two clicking sounds.

Guo Huai was very angry. After all, he had been a mercenary abroad for several years. Never mind how good his skills were, the main thing was that his reputation was well-known far and wide. If his old rivals found out that today, not only did he fail to easily catch up to his opponent even while driving a Hummer, but he was almost killed and his car destroyed by a single punch from the other side, he would lose all face.

“Die? You idiot!” Tang Chen now had nothing to fear and cursed as soon as he opened his mouth, sneering, “Tell me, who sent you? Why are you attacking us?”

Guo Huai’s face twisted fiercely because Tang Chen’s words ignited the anger he had suppressed for a long time. He roared, “Go ask the King of Hell!” As he spoke, he directly raised his submachine gun and pulled the trigger without even aiming.

“Idiot!” Tang Chen cursed, then tapped his feet on the ground. A prompt sounded in his mind: “Ding! The Host activated the Sweaty Steed Treasure Boots ability. Speed increased. Instant movement!”

Describing the ability of the Sweaty Steed Treasure Boots this way seems a bit weak, so let’s put it more mysteriously. At that moment, the bullets fired by Guo Huai were rushing toward Tang Chen and the other at a speed of one hundred meters per second. However, just as the bullets were about to hit Tang Chen, the Sweaty Steed Treasure Boots on his feet suddenly emitted a roaring engine sound, followed by the howling of wind and the distortion of the air. With a whoosh, the two of them instantly disappeared from their original spot.

Bang!

Following that sound, Guo Huai’s bullets undoubtedly hit the ground directly.

Guo Huai was dumbfounded. His three foreign subordinates were also dumbfounded. What was going on? Was it their hallucination? Damn it, what did they just see? Just as the bullets were about to hit Tang Chen and the other, the two of them vanished into thin air like a gust of wind!

This was too ridiculous, too absurd. Author Jun, come out here! Does the script have to be written so absurdly? Even if we are the villains, at least let us be awesome once! What’s with the instant disappearance?

“Boss, what should we do?” the tallest foreigner walked over dumbly and said to Guo Huai. Were those two guys the legendary immortals of China? Why could they move so fast? And with such speed, why not go compete in the Olympics? Is it fun to play dumb and eat the tiger, bullying us idiot villains?

Guo Huai gritted his teeth and said angrily, “Chase! If he can escape right in front of me, it means he is worthy of being my opponent. But no matter how far he runs, I will find him. Then I will kill him! To wash away the shame!”

Leaving aside Guo Huai grinding his teeth in hatred over there, Tang Chen and the other had instantly arrived in front of the small inn on the other side.

“Ha De, you can let go of me now. So many people are watching, and I am not gay.” Tang Chen twitched his lips and moved Ha De’s hand from his waist. This kid had been holding his waist since earlier. What if people misunderstood?

Ha De let out an “Ah?” and stared blankly at the inn door in front of him, saying dazedly, “Tang Chen, we didn’t die? We’re back?”

Tang Chen gently tapped his head and said impatiently, “What nonsense are you talking? How could I possibly die?”

Ha De quickly asked in confusion, “But I remember clearly that the guy fired his gun. How did we get back to the inn so quickly? What did you do?”

Tang Chen stopped walking, looked at him, and said slowly, “Ha De, I heard the country is now printing fifty-thousand-yuan banknotes. Do you believe that?”

Ha De shook his head with a smile and said, “How is that possible? It must be a rumor. If that were the case, money in our country would really be worthless.”

Tang Chen curled his lips and said, “Then that’s settled. What happened today is also something that couldn’t have happened. There are too many unbelievable things in this world, so why bother fussing over the details?”

Ha De was a smart person. Tang Chen’s words clearly told him: I don’t want to talk about it, so don’t ask.

Ha De hummed in agreement and did not continue to press further. By then, the two of them had already entered the inn together.

After all that commotion, it was already evening. Tang Chen went out to buy some food, and the two of them ate in the room. As for why they didn’t eat out, it was because Tang Chen felt the food in this small suburban place simply didn’t match his prestige. So they made do with what they had.

Around eight in the evening, Tang Chen took out his mobile phone, glanced at Ha De who was watching the news, and said, “Ha De, give me your dad’s phone number.”

Ha De was startled and quickly put down the remote control in his hand, then said with a bitter smile, “Are you going to ask my dad for a ransom?”

Tang Chen said unhappily, “First, I am not the kind of person short on money. I wouldn’t trouble a Provincial Governor over a few million. Second, I said this is just a fake kidnapping. Don’t treat me like a real kidnapper. Hurry up and give me the number.”

Ha De said “Oh” and obediently recited the number to Tang Chen. Tang Chen hummed in acknowledgment as he dialed the number.

At Governor Ha’s home, the usually spirited Governor Ha was sitting in his study smoking. He had canceled several social dinners because he was thinking about how to rescue his son.

Chen Mingdi told him that he knew the current kidnapper and said Tang Chen would not harm Young Master Ha—he just needed a tool to ensure his own safety.

Just as Governor Ha was lost in worry, his mobile phone rang. He picked it up and saw it was an unfamiliar number. He initially didn’t want to answer, but then he thought, what if it was the kidnapper? If he missed the call, would it cause trouble for his son?

Thinking this, Governor Ha carefully answered the phone, “Hello, who is this?”

In the inn, Tang Chen did not avoid Ha De and said with a laugh, “Hello, Governor Ha. I am Tang Chen. You may find this name unfamiliar, but that’s okay because your son is currently in my hands.”

“What? My son is in your hands?” Governor Ha was so agitated that the Da Zhonghua cigarette in his hand fell to the floor. He asked nervously, “Mr. Kidnapper, what do you want? As long as you don’t harm my son, I agree to anything.”

Tang Chen smiled faintly and said pretentiously, “Governor Ha, please call me Young Master Tang, or we have nothing to discuss.”

Even at a time like this, he still wanted to act pretentious. Young Master Tang was indeed the fighter jet in pretentiousness.

Governor Ha was slightly stunned. This wasn’t how it was supposed to go. Usually, the other party would arrogantly demand one or two million at this point. Why did this guy tell him to call him Young Master Tang instead?

Did I open this the wrong way? Or, Author Jun, have you lost your mind?

Governor Ha didn’t dare say much and replied respectfully, “Yes, Young Master Tang. Then what are your demands? Is my son with you? Can I talk to him? I’m very worried about him.”

Tang Chen said, “Governor Ha, don’t worry. I guarantee with my prestige that your son, Young Master Ha De, is absolutely safe. You could say not a single hair on his head has been harmed. As for talking to him, that’s not necessary—he’s already resting.”

Governor Ha was also a bit baffled. Using one’s prestige as a guarantee? In his half-century of life, this was the first time he had heard such a thing. This kidnapper was very strange.

“Okay, okay, no call then. So, may I ask what your demands are?” Governor Ha did not dare anger Tang Chen and asked cautiously.

Tang Chen said directly, “Actually, I don’t have any demands. I suppose Director Chen has already spoken to you. I’m not a bad person; I only kidnapped your son to secure an escape route for myself. The issue started with your wife. If she hadn’t been pretentious and insulted people in front of me, I might have returned Young Master Ha long ago.”

Governor Ha inwardly cursed that incompetent woman who caused more trouble than she solved. She claimed to have their son’s best interests at heart, but if it weren’t for her, their son wouldn’t have been captured.

Governor Ha repeatedly said, “Yes, yes. Rest assured, I will handle my wife’s matter properly. I will make her personally apologize to Director Chen and that police lady. Do you have any other demands?”
