Chapter 181: The Beastly Coach at the Driving School!
“Tang Chen!” A voice called out. Liu Yanran, dressed in a police uniform, got out and greeted Tang Chen.
Tang Chen smiled and walked over, saying, “Police Sister, are you personally handling this again?”
Liu Yanran sighed helplessly, “There’s no choice. Such a big commotion happened this time. I have to step in.” She paused, then said to Tang Chen, “Tang Chen, I don’t know how to comfort you, but I hope you can take it easy.”
Tang Chen sneered and said, “Police Sister, actually you shouldn’t say that to me. I’m taking it very well. Out with the old, in with the new, right? It’s those reckless bastards who are going to be in trouble.”
Liu Yanran was startled and said cautiously, “Tang Chen, what do you mean? Do you already know who did it? I’m telling you, don’t be too impulsive. If something is going on, you need to cooperate with us, the police. Don’t try to be a hero.”
Tang Chen raised the corner of his mouth. Cooperate? In Young Master’s dictionary, it was always about going it alone. Besides, they were the ones who provoked him first. How could he possibly let them off so easily!
Although he thought this way, Tang Chen did not show it on his face. Instead, he said, “Don’t worry, Police Sister, I won’t be impulsive. By the way, when I took down that guy, I found a small medicine bottle at the scene. Can you help me get someone to analyze what’s in this thing?” After speaking, he took out the medicine bottle and handed it to Liu Yanran.
Liu Yanran took it, examined it carefully, and nodded, saying, “Don’t worry, I’ll have the forensics department test it for you. You’ll have the results by tonight at the latest.”
Tang Chen acknowledged and was about to say something else when he saw Boss Pang walking over anxiously. Liu Yanran glanced at the two of them and said, “It seems you have something to talk about. I’ll go inside first.”
Tang Chen did not stop her. After saying “Thanks for the trouble,” he saw Liu Yanran off and walked up to Boss Pang.
“Young Master Tang!” Boss Pang did not know if Young Master Tang had calmed down. If Young Master Tang still wanted to beat him up, he would not complain. But to his surprise, Tang Chen did not hit him. Instead, he hugged him tightly.
After a moment, he let go and said apologetically, “Old Pang, I’m sorry. I wrongly suspected you.”
Tang Chen genuinely felt apologetic. When the incident happened, he had immediately suspected Boss Pang without thinking. Only after killing Fu Yanjie did he realize it was all the Mo Sect’s doing. He truly felt sorry for Boss Pang, who had been beaten by him for no reason.
Boss Pang, feeling flattered, said, “It’s nothing, Young Master Tang. I wasn’t angry with you at all. After all, I share some responsibility for what happened.”
Tang Chen was not one to dwell on it. He patted Boss Pang’s shoulder and said, “Old Pang, you’ve been with me for a while now. I trust your loyalty. I was just too confused earlier and wrongly blamed you. Young Master apologizes to you. We’re both men. Just keep working hard with Young Master from now on, and let’s put this behind us.”
Boss Pang nodded firmly and said, “Yes, Young Master Tang. I’ll do as you say.”
Tang Chen smiled. With the misunderstanding resolved, the tension was gone. He looked up at the Junyue in front of him and said, “Junyue is in such a state now. It’s clear it won’t recover for a while. Let’s not bother repairing it. Just close it down. When the new hotel is built, we’ll move there. Even though we’re closing, we must still pay the employees’ salaries.”
“Okay, I’ll make sure it’s done.” Boss Pang had been worrying about how to repair Junyue. Now, moving to a new place made things simpler.
Tang Chen suddenly remembered something and said to Boss Pang, “By the way, Boss, where is my Sister Xiao? Why haven’t I seen her?”
Tang Chen cursed himself inwardly. He was the one who had brought Xiao Ruiqi here. If something happened to her, the consequences would be unthinkable.
Boss Pang replied, “Ruiqi is having a class at the driving school, so she didn’t come to work today.”
“Thank goodness.” Tang Chen nodded. It was a relief that nothing happened to her. Otherwise, he would have felt guilty for life.
“Young Master Tang, Boss!” A sweet female voice called out. Xiao Ruiqi ran over from a taxi.
“Sister Xiao? Weren’t you at the driving school? Why are you back?” Tang Chen asked, puzzled.
Xiao Ruiqi said, “I got a call from A Kuan saying the hotel exploded. I rushed back in a panic. Young Master Tang, Boss, are you both okay?”
Tang Chen shook his head, his eyes dimming. He said, “I’m fine, but one of my brothers got hospitalized saving me. Anyway, let’s not talk about that. Sister Xiao, weren’t you still practicing at the driving school? Let me take you there.”
Xiao Ruiqi looked troubled. She hesitated and said, “Young Master Tang, can I not go to the driving school for now? I want to stay here and help.”
Although she said that, Tang Chen could see the look in her eyes. She was clearly lying.
Tang Chen’s face turned serious. He said, “Sister Xiao, look at me. Did something happen at the driving school?”
Xiao Ruiqi fiddled with her fingers and lowered her head in silence.
Seeing her like this, Tang Chen wondered if it was something she was too embarrassed to say directly. After a moment’s thought, he said to Boss Pang, “Old Pang, I need to go out with Sister Xiao for a bit. You take charge here.”
Boss Pang could also tell that something seemed wrong. He nodded and saw Tang Chen off.
Tang Chen took Xiao Ruiqi into the car and said gently, “Sister Xiao, it’s just the two of us here now. Don’t hold back. Tell me.”
Xiao Ruiqi bit her lower lip and then explained everything in detail. It turned out that at the driving school, she had encountered a perverted coach. This coach was surnamed Wang, a bald old man in his forties or fifties. Every time he sat in the passenger seat teaching Xiao Ruiqi how to drive, his eyes couldn’t help but wander all over her body.
Xiao Ruiqi of course noticed his gaze, but after thinking about it, she chose to endure it. After all, he hadn’t done anything physical yet.
But that’s how perverts are. The more you stay silent, the more they push their luck. From then on, he started teasing Xiao Ruiqi with all sorts of suggestive comments, his words carrying obvious sexual undertones. What was even more disgusting was that just two days ago, he had placed his hand on Xiao Ruiqi’s thigh.
Xiao Ruiqi finally couldn’t take it anymore. She slapped him and threatened to call the police. Coach Wang, probably used to such situations, calmly stated that if Xiao Ruiqi dared to call the police, not only would he make sure she failed the test, but he would also sell close-up photos he had taken of her legs to a tabloid.
It turned out that this jerk had secretly attached a small camera near his ankle, specifically to take pictures of girls’ private areas. Xiao Ruiqi panicked on the spot and didn’t know what to do. That’s why she came back and thought about telling Tang Chen she didn’t want to go to the driving school anymore.
After hearing this, Tang Chen flew into a rage. He grabbed Xiao Ruiqi’s hand and said with some reproach, “Sister Xiao, why didn’t you tell me that beast was treating you like this?”
Xiao Ruiqi smiled bitterly and said, “Young Master Tang, you’ve already been so good to me. I didn’t want to bother you again.”
“Sister Xiao, you’ve suffered. But don’t worry, Young Master will get justice for you!” As he spoke, he started the car.
Xiao Ruiqi didn’t want to make a big deal out of it, so she tried to dissuade him, “Forget it, Young Master Tang. The hotel just had such a major incident. Don’t get angry over my small problem.”
“This is not a small matter.” Tang Chen said sternly, “Young Master hates this kind of person the most. Being a pervert is bad enough, but he targeted you. You are Young Master’s sister. I must get justice for you!”
Daring to ignite his anger at a time like this—that damn Coach Wang was asking for death.
The Extravagant Battle Car soon arrived at a driving school. Tang Chen and Xiao Ruiqi got out. Tang Chen said to Xiao Ruiqi, “Sister Xiao, take me to that Coach Wang. I’ll deal with him.”
Xiao Ruiqi knew Tang Chen’s temper and that it was useless to try to stop him. So she just said, “I don’t know if he’s working today. Sometimes he doesn’t come.”
Just then, a coach car drove in through the gate. It stopped when it passed Tang Chen and them. A big, yellow-toothed, fat man got out and sneered, “Miss Xiao, why did you leave early today? This will deduct points from your test score.”
