Chapter 565 - 553: Never Break the Law! (Added for alliance leader ScHatZ!)
Although they were told to arrive within fifteen minutes, it took less than fifteen minutes. In fact, it was less than ten.
The massive motorcade of luxury cars, which had attracted countless stares as it weaved through Jinling City, had already arrived at the intersection of Jinling Boulevard. Ignoring the red light, the supercars charged straight through like a pack of wild beasts. Faced with such a display, the drivers on the other side of the intersection, who had the green light, all instinctively slammed on their brakes to get out of the way.
VROOOM! VROOOM! VROOOM!
They ran red lights, drove in non-motorized vehicle lanes, went against traffic, and made U-turns over solid lines—it was chaos as they all charged toward the section of road leading to the Confucius Temple.
Back at the scene on Jinling Boulevard, a young man with the Mercedes driver swept his bangs aside and said in astonishment, "Holy shit! What the hell is going on? This entrance is fucking badass!"
Upon hearing this, and with the signature roar of supercars filling the air, the Mercedes driver and his cronies reflexively followed the young man’s gaze. On one side of the four-lane Jinling Boulevard, four supercars with their hazard lights flashing drove forward in a single line. Behind them was a seemingly endless stream of luxury cars, all with their hazards blinking.
Lamborghinis, Maseratis, Ferraris, Porsches... Bentleys, Maybachs, Koenigseggs, McLarens... They had them all.
Qin Fan’s order was for a phalanx of luxury cars, each worth no less than two million. Chang Yuanyi’s summons had also been clear: no cars worth less than two million. But most of the cars that showed up were worth far more than that two-million benchmark. In the blink of an eye, the entire Jinling Boulevard was occupied by these supercars and luxury vehicles. The ordinary cars trailing far behind all had the sense to make U-turns at the intersection and find another route.
"Is this... a street race in broad daylight?" one man asked, dumbstruck.
Just as he finished speaking, another wave of intensely roaring engines sounded from the other direction. Four Rolls-Royces led the charge, followed by an army of supercars whose designs were a perfect blend of style and aggression. They came roaring down the road, aggressively driving against traffic.
One fleet came from the front, the other from behind. One with the flow of traffic, one against it. They executed a pincer movement, effectively seizing control of Jinling Boulevard.
Seeing this, the Mercedes driver broke out in a cold sweat. A terrible thought occurred to him, but he quickly shoved it aside. Impossible! Impossible! Look at that bitch—she doesn’t dress like she’s from a powerful family, and she has an out-of-town accent. There’s no way she could summon this kind of force!
However, the more he tried to convince himself, the more terrified he became as the fleet of ultra-luxury cars closed in. It wasn’t just the Mercedes driver who was afraid; his cronies were also trembling with unease.
"Boss Wang, you... you didn’t provoke them, did you?"
When one of them asked the question, all eyes, filled with tension and fear, snapped toward the Mercedes driver.
"Impossible! Impossible! Absolutely impossible! That little wench couldn’t have mustered this kind of lineup! In Jinling, besides Master Chang and Young Master Bo, no one can organize a formation like this! That bitch can’t possibly have this kind of power! Don’t panic, nobody panic! This is probably a dispute between their two groups. It has nothing to do with us! Yes, yes, that’s it, it must be!"
The Mercedes driver rambled on, nodding one moment and shaking his head the next, letting the cold sweat pour down his face, forgetting to wipe the large beads that had suddenly appeared on his forehead.
On the ground, Ji Yi, whom he had kicked down, gritted her teeth and stood back up. She glanced at the approaching armada and let out a heavy sigh of relief. She wasn’t particularly shocked that a single phone call to Qin Fan could produce such a result; she’d already had her fill of shock back at the Dragon Palace of the East Sea.
Gritting her teeth and enduring the pain in her abdomen, she looked away and walked over to the old sanitation worker. She extended her delicate hand, which had been scraped when she fell, and placed it on his. "Sir, it’s alright. Reinforcements are here! Let’s get you up first!"
With that, she gave a firm pull and helped the old man to his feet.
"Young lady, this... this—!" Although he wasn’t educated and couldn’t tell a good car from a bad one, the old man knew from the sheer appearance of the vehicles converging on them that they were extraordinary. He stared in disbelief. "Young lady, did you call all these cars?"
"Sir, don’t say anything for now. Come, let me help you sit down and rest. Someone will get you revenge later! A single steamed bun can spark a bloodbath, and harming a single sanitation worker can bring an entire family to utter ruin!" As she finished speaking, Ji Yi’s face was a mask of towering rage. Her anger deepened as she saw the red handprint on the old man’s face and the dusty footprint on his uniform.
"Young lady, you mustn’t do anything foolish! The country has its laws. We must not break them, we absolutely must not!" the sanitation worker cried out urgently.
To simple folk like him, the law was fiercer than any tiger. If you had to say who was least likely to commit a crime, it wasn’t the highly educated, nor was it some professor or expert. It was the people at the bottom rungs of society, quietly contributing to the city. No matter how much disdain they faced or how hard their lives were, they would never dare to step over the line of the law. Even now, after being bullied by the Mercedes driver, all he could think of was how to avoid further trouble and abide by the law.
Hearing the old man’s pleas, Ji Yi’s heart ached even more. How could those damn scumbags be so heartless as to bully such a simple, ordinary person? How could they be so cruel?
"Sir, please rest well and don’t worry about a thing," Ji Yi said, gently patting his arm after helping to straighten his uniform. "I will get justice for you!"
"Young lady, don’t break the law. You must not break the law!" the sanitation worker pleaded, his clouded eyes, full of honest simplicity, fixed on her.
Without responding, Ji Yi simply pursed her lips and nodded. Then, she stood up and stepped forward.
At that same moment, the nearly one hundred luxury cars, coming from both directions, all screeched to a halt. Their hazard lights continued to flash as their doors swung open in unison.
"Master Chang!"
"Master Chang!"
"Master Chang!"
The scions of wealthy families all called out as Chang Yuanyi stepped out of his car. Scanning the crowd, he gave a grim nod.
Master Chang? Chang Yuanyi?
Hearing that name, the Mercedes driver and his companions were so terrified their legs practically gave out. It was clear now that the two groups weren’t rivals; they were here for them! In an instant, the color drained from their faces, and their bodies began to tremble violently.
Ignoring the Mercedes driver and his group for the moment, Chang Yuanyi led a few other young masters to the open space in front. As Ji Yi approached, he bowed slightly and said respectfully, "Miss Ji!"
Miss Ji? Even a top-tier young master like Chang Yuanyi had to bow and call her "Miss Ji"? And he had just been calling her a "bitch" and had viciously kicked her?
It was over. Completely and utterly over.
Seeing that respectful bow and hearing that respectful address, the Mercedes driver felt a sudden, urgent need to urinate, almost wetting himself on the spot. All the strength drained from his body, and he nearly collapsed.
"Where’s Little Fan?" Ji Yi asked with a slight nod.
"Miss Ji, Lord Qin is on his way! He told us to come ahead and wait for him." Chang Yuanyi’s sharp eyes immediately noticed the scraped, bleeding skin on Ji Yi’s elbow, and his expression hardened. "Miss Ji, what happened to your arm?" he asked with a frown.
