A carefree soldier king in the city

Chapter 197 Take a ride

At the doorway, Chao Bufan stood with his hands behind his back. Soon, Fangfang followed and asked softly, "Brother Bufan, where are we going?"

Chao Bufan laughed and asked, "Where do you want to go?"

Fangfang smiled and said, "I'm not familiar with this place, I don't know where to go."

Chao Bufan nodded and said, "Then I'll drive you for a spin!"

Fangfang didn't object at all, and simply hummed in agreement.

"Wait for me a moment, I'll drive the car over."

Chao Bufan went to the garage and drove the car to the entrance. When Fangfang saw that Chao Bufan was driving a unique luxury car, a glint of light flashed in her eyes, but she quickly regained her composure.

"Get in the car." Chao Bufan, wearing sunglasses, stuck his head out of the window and laughed.

Fangfang didn't hesitate. She walked over, opened the passenger door, ducked in, closed the door, and fastened her seatbelt.

The car started moving and sped forward, quickly entering the highway. At 180 km/h, it was like a galloping steed, causing Fangfang to scream repeatedly, her heart pounding in her chest. Unwittingly, they arrived back at the shady hotel where he and Qianqian had been kidnapped. Chao Bufan, on a sudden impulse, turned the steering wheel and stopped the car in front of the hotel.

The hotel owner, Sister Da, happened to be going out when she saw a wealthy guest arrive. She quickly greeted him with a smile and, after helping the extraordinary man out of the car, said with a smile, "Welcome, sir!"

Chao Bufan smiled back and said, "Big Sister, it's been a long time!"

Upon hearing this, the eldest sister was clearly taken aback, thinking, "Do we know each other?" She quickly searched her memory, but couldn't recall ever seeing such a distinguished and wealthy boss before. So she chuckled and said, "Sir, we've met before?"

Chao Bufan lowered his head, took off his sunglasses, hung them on his collar, looked up, and smiled, "What do you think?"

When she finally saw the extraordinary man in person, the eldest sister let out a shriek of "Ah!" and then said with a forced smile, "Hehe, it's you, big brother, graciously gracious! I was blind to your greatness, my apologies!"

Chao Bufan smiled and asked, "Boss lady, how's business lately?"

"Thanks to you, I was able to..." The eldest sister immediately realized, "Oh my god, is this guy here to rob me again?" She quickly changed her tune, putting on a forced smile, and said, "Business has been terrible lately, it's been awful."

Chao Bufan asked with a smile, "Boss lady, is it good or bad?"

The eldest sister quickly said, "It's terrible, terrible, terribly terrible."

Chao Bufan nodded, then took the lead, hands behind his back, and walked towards the hotel. On the sofa, Chao Bufan leaned back, a lit cigarette between his fingers, and asked, "Where are the others?"

The eldest sister chuckled and said, "They've all...they've all gone out to run errands."

Chao Bufan nodded, took a puff of his cigarette, and then said, "Boss lady, don't be nervous. I was just passing by and thought I'd stop by. Um... do you have lunch?"

Upon hearing this, the proprietress nodded hurriedly and said, "Yes, yes, brother, I just bought some fresh vegetables this morning, I'll go make them right away."

Chao Bufan nodded and said, "Then I'll have to trouble you, boss lady."

The eldest sister hurriedly turned around, wiped her sweat, and rushed off to cook.

Fangfang finally had a chance to speak, "Brother Bufan, do you know this proprietress?"

Upon hearing this, Chao Bufan laughed and said, "We're not really acquainted. When I first left the army and headed south, I stayed here. Who knew it was a shady inn?"

"A rip-off shop?"

Fangfang was startled, but then smiled sheepishly. It was such an overreaction. With Falcon's skills, he wouldn't be afraid even if he encountered a shady shop or a robbery! "Brother Bufan, what happened next?"

Chao Bufan laughed and said, "Later, I ripped them off. Since I'm passing by, I thought I'd stop by and have lunch before leaving."

After hearing what Chao Bufan said, Fangfang really felt a little hungry. After thinking for a moment, she said, "Brother Bufan, you've already extorted them, aren't you afraid they'll poison the food?"

……

In the kitchen, pots, pans, and spatulas clattered and clanged. The eldest sister, wearing an apron and sweating profusely, had finally managed to stir-fry a few dishes and simmer a chicken soup. Just as she was about to call "the devil" to eat, she stopped abruptly at the door, turned back to the table, and stared at the chicken soup. A cunning glint flashed in her eyes. She quickly glanced outside with a guilty look, then pulled a small paper packet from her pocket, opened it, poured the white powder inside into the soup, stirred it haphazardly, and then smiled sinisterly, thinking, "Hmph, last time you extorted hundreds of thousands from me and even injured my cousin. This time you've delivered yourselves to my doorstep, so don't blame me for being ruthless. This time, I'll get it all back, with interest!"

After saying that, he took off his apron, threw it aside, and walked out of the kitchen to call Chao Bufan and the other two to come and eat.

"Big sister, we're back."

Xu Gang, Xu Meng, Hua Zai, and the others entered with great enthusiasm, but they were all visibly stunned when they saw Chao Bufan sitting on the sofa, smiling broadly at them. Xu Meng then turned around and said, "I'm going to the restroom first."

Almost simultaneously, Xu Gang and the others also turned around, each looking as if they had seen a ghost, and fled.

"I'm going to the bathroom too."

"I left my things in the car."

"stop!"

Chao Bufan's sharp shout startled Xu Gang and the others, who quickly turned around with grins. Xu Gang said, "Big Brother, what brings you here?"

Chao Bufan glanced at the sofa and smiled, "Please sit down!"

Upon hearing this, Xu Gang and the others wore forced smiles, seemingly hesitant to sit down. They all knew the devastating losses they'd suffered last time! Not only had they lost hundreds of thousands, but they'd also nearly lost their lives. Even their sister's cousin couldn't handle him. Last time, they'd asked their sister's cousin for help, but instead of being able to help, he'd almost killed his cousin. That cousin said the kid was incredibly strange, a true monster. So many brothers, and he'd taken them all down in a few swift moves. Even more shocking, this kid seemed to have some kind of supernatural power protecting him; he was impervious to bullets and blades, and even guns couldn't kill him. Instead, he'd killed the armed men. It was unbelievable! They were warned never to mess with him again, or their lives would be in danger!

Faced with this truly formidable figure, Xu Gang and his men dared not act recklessly again. The lesson they learned last time had already taught them a lesson they would not forget, and if they acted recklessly again, they would be courting death.

Seeing that none of them wanted to come and sit down, Chao Bufan laughed and said, "What? Are you afraid I'll eat you up?"
