Chapter 166: The Mother-in-Law’s Family Got Sued
The mission was successfully completed. As for the Invincible Cloak, Tang Chen did not want it right now. He just wanted to hurry back to the city. He could think about the reward later.
He retraced his steps along the path he had taken earlier. As he walked, he remembered something and said to the System, “System. Since High-level Missions and Beginner Tasks have different difficulties, does that mean the number of Aura Points I get each time is also different?”
The System explained, “Respected Host, that is correct. Each time you complete a mission, besides the specific reward items, you also receive Aura Points. Beginner Tasks usually give between five to ten points, while High-level Missions start at a minimum of twenty points.”
Tang Chen hummed in acknowledgment and nodded, saying to himself, “It seems I need to trigger more High-level Missions. Not only are the rewards generous, but the Aura Points are also double that of regular tasks.”
By the time he finished thinking this, he had already reached the foot of the mountain. He saw a small, thin figure standing at the village entrance. Who else could it be but Wang Xiaocai?
“Big Brother Tang Chen.” Wang Xiaocai was overjoyed to see Tang Chen and immediately ran over to greet him.
Tang Chen chuckled, took Wang Xiaocai’s hand, and said, “Xiaocai, why are you still awake so late at night?”
Wang Xiaocai said sensibly, “Big Brother, everyone was worried because you hadn’t returned. I told my mom and came to the village entrance to wait for you.”
Tang Chen laughed heartily, then picked Wang Xiaocai up and ruffled his hair, saying, “I wish I really had a little brother like you. Come on, let’s go back.”
“Okay.”
There is no need to describe in detail what happened after they returned. In short, when the villagers heard that Tang Chen had single-handedly eliminated a hundred bandits, they were shocked and extremely grateful, repeatedly praising Tang Chen for doing a great deed.
The night passed without incident. Early the next morning, Wang Fu drove Tang Chen to the town on his tractor. Their town was called Fengyang Town. It was not large, had few residents, and was a remote town in the southern part of the country.
The more Tang Chen thought about it, the stranger it seemed. How did that woman Li Chunhui find this place? Could it be that little bitch used to live here?
Forget it. If he couldn’t figure it out, he wouldn’t dwell on it. Anyway, the matter was over.
“Little Tang, we’re at the bus station.” Wang Fu turned off the tractor and said to Tang Chen.
Tang Chen acknowledged, then jumped off the tractor and said gratefully to Wang Fu, “Thank you, Uncle Wang. I’ll be going now.”
Wang Fu chuckled and said, “Little Tang, no need to be so polite. You helped us so much; this is nothing. Come back and visit when you have time.”
Tang Chen hummed in agreement, then turned and walked away. After not going far, he turned back and shouted, “Uncle Wang, remember to open the small black bag under the tractor seat. Consider it a token of my appreciation.”
“What?” Wang Fu was startled. He quickly lifted the tractor seat and found a black bag inside. When he opened it, he saw stacks of cash.
“Little Tang…” Wang Fu’s eyes welled up with tears. When he looked up again, Tang Chen had already disappeared from sight.
By this time, Tang Chen had already entered the bus station. He quickly took out his mobile phone and saw that he had a signal. He immediately called Yang Mi’s number.
After a few busy tones, Yang Mi quickly answered. Her voice was hoarse as she said, “Tang Chen, is that you? Where are you?”
Tang Chen could tell something was wrong with Yang Mi’s voice and quickly said, “Yang Mi, it’s me. What’s wrong? Did something happen?”
Yang Mi burst into tears, sobbing and saying, “Where have you been… I… I was so worried about you. I couldn’t reach you on your phone, and when I asked Yu Tianyi and the others, they didn’t know either. Wuwu.”
Tang Chen’s heart ached, and he frowned. He quickly comforted her, “Good wife, don’t cry. Something small happened to me, and my phone had no signal, so I couldn’t receive your calls. But don’t worry, I’m coming home now. Wait for me, wait for me.”
Yang Mi hummed in agreement a few times, still sounding tearful, and said, “Tang Chen, come back quickly. Something happened to my family. I’m at my family’s supermarket now. Come directly here.”
“Mother-in-law had an accident? What happened?” Tang Chen said, then hurriedly added, “It’s okay, wait for me at home. I’ll be at your place right away.” With that, he hung up the phone.
After hanging up, Tang Chen anxiously said to the System, “System, can you bring the Extravagant Battle Car right in front of me? Taking a long-distance bus is just too slow.”
System: “Respected Host, that’s simple. You just need to communicate with the Extravagagant Battle Car in your mind, and it will come to you immediately.”
Tang Chen was also slightly stunned. The Extravagant Battle Car was actually this awesome, which was beyond his expectations.
“Okay, then.” Tang Chen nodded, then walked out of the station and went to a corner of an alley. He silently thought, “Extravagant Battle Car, come to me quickly. I need you.”
At that moment, at the intersection where Tang Chen had been taken away the previous day, the Extravagant Battle Car was quietly parked. A few traffic police officers walked over. An older traffic police officer said, “This luxury car has been parked here all day, and no owner has come to drive it away. Let’s tow it to the traffic police station first.”
“Yes, Vice Captain.” A young traffic police officer nearby acknowledged, then signaled the tow truck behind him to get ready.
“Whoosh! The Extravagant Battle Car started. Virtual car service Xiao Mei came online. Received the Host’s summon. Automatically locking onto the Host’s location.”
“Ding! Locking completed. Activating autonomous driving mode.”
Vroom!
The engine roared to life, and the Extravagant Battle Car instantly started. In the blink of an eye, it sped away right in front of the traffic police officers.
“Vice… Vice Captain, it seemed like there was no one in that car, right?” The young traffic police officer stupidly licked his lips and asked dazedly.
“Ghosts? Damn it.” The Vice Captain also cursed. What the hell was going on?
Tang Chen didn’t know that his actions caused the two traffic police officers to become paranoid and turn into idiots after they returned. Right now, he was sitting contentedly in the Extravagant Battle Car on his way back to the city.
With the Extravagant Battle Car speeding all the way, he felt relieved. Remembering something, he picked up his mobile phone and called Yu Tianyi. This time, the call connected quickly.
“Young Master Tang, I went home to handle some business the past couple of days, so I didn’t answer your call. I’m sorry.” Yu Tianyi thought Tang Chen was calling to reprimand him, so he quickly explained.
Tang Chen smiled casually and said, “It’s nothing, and it wasn’t a big deal at the time anyway. I called to ask if everything is peaceful at the school and how Fang Wenxin’s health is.”
Yu Tianyi replied, “Young Master Tang, Wenzi’s bodily functions are gradually recovering. The doctor believes he can slowly recover soon. As for the school, it’s also very quiet. The Mo Sect hasn’t made any moves so far.”
“Oh, I see. Then that’s all for now. I have something to do, so I’ll hang up first.” With that, Tang Chen hung up first.
About half an hour later, the car arrived at Yang Mi’s family supermarket. Tang Chen quickly opened the door and got out. As soon as he entered the supermarket, he called out, “Yang Mi, I’m back.”
Yang Mi, who had been sitting at the table, stood up happily upon hearing Tang Chen’s voice. She ran over and hugged him, saying, “You scared me to death. Where did you go? Do you know how worried I was?”
Tang Chen ruffled her hair, smelled her fragrant hair, and said apologetically, “I’m sorry, Yang Mi. I promise nothing like this will happen again.”
Yang Mi hummed in agreement, then gasped and said to Tang Chen, “Tang Chen, you came back just in time. My family got sued.”
“What? Sued? What happened?” Tang Chen said, confused. Who was suing Yang Mi’s family, and for what reason?
Yang Mi sighed, then placed the document folder on the table into Tang Chen’s hands and said, “This is the document from the court. Take a look. Earlier, my mom fainted from the shock, and my dad went out in a hurry to look for a lawyer or something. If you hadn’t come back, I would have been worried to death.”
