Chapter 0003: Kick Out Injustice On The Road

Smartphones were quite cheap now, and there was a service center near the train station. After paying five hundred yuan in phone credit, Chu Nan got himself a smartphone and also exchanged phone numbers with Li Mengmeng.

At this moment, Chu Nan also learned that the woman in front of him was named Li Mengmeng, while the ice-cold beauty was named Cai Mingyue, and Li Mengmeng was her assistant.

"Keep your phone on for twenty-four hours, don't worry about the phone bill, if you run out of money I'll help you top up!"

Li Mengmeng watched Chu Nan playing with his phone and said, "Also, register a WeChat account and send me your number later."

"Sure, and... I'd like to ask about something."

Chu Nan finally found an opportunity to ask a question.

"What do you want to know? I'm telling you, I won't divulge any information about Sister Ming Yue!"

Li Mengmeng warned him.

"Er, no, I wanted to ask, do you know how to get to Ming City University?"

Chu Nan hurriedly asked, fearing that Li Mengmeng might suspect something.

"Ming City University?"

Li Mengmeng was startled, and her pretty face quickly flashed a wary expression: "How do you know about Ming City University? Who told you?"

"Well... I just know it's the best university in our Ming City, that doesn't need someone to tell me, does it... "

Chu Nan looked at Li Mengmeng somewhat strangely, not understanding what she was so nervous about.

"Oh, it's nothing, what do you want to do at Ming City University?"

Li Mengmeng's tone was still somewhat cautious.

"I heard that college life is quite wonderful and now that I have a high-paying job, I'd like to go and fully experience college life."

Chu Nan found Li Mengmeng's wariness quite strange. Surely this girl didn't think he was planning to abscond with the money?

"Oh, is that so..."

Li Mengmeng breathed a sigh of relief: "To get to Ming City University... just take a taxi."

"Is there a bus?"

Chu Nan didn't want to waste money.

"This... just take a taxi!"

Li Mengmeng didn't know which bus would get there.

"I only have a bank card with me, no cash, how to take a taxi..."

Chu Nan rummaged through his pockets and took out a coin: "This I even picked up on the train!"

"Pfft..."

Li Mengmeng had never seen such a pauper: "How about Pretty Lady Second Boss calls you a ride-hailing car?"

"Damn, I get a dedicated car with this job?"

Chu Nan's eyes widened, that was pretty awesome. It seemed that these two beautiful bosses were super wealthy!

"Dedicated ride-hailing car!"

Li Mengmeng gave Chu Nan a look: "It's just a premium taxi, you're so clueless! I'm warning you, when you pretend to be Sister Ming Yue's boyfriend, don't talk nonsense!"

"Oh..."

Chu Nan was frustrated, having just returned to the country, how was he supposed to know about these things!

Soon, an Audi A4L appeared in front of Chu Nan.

Li Mengmeng spoke a few words with the driver and then let Chu Nan get into the car.

Watching the Audi drive away, Li Mengmeng triumphantly raised the phone in her hand: "I can see where you get off, no fear of not being able to find you now!"

Earlier, Li Mengmeng had been quite nervous when she heard Chu Nan was going to Ming City University; however, after thinking it over, if he had a place to stay, it would also be relatively easy for her to find him.

"Classmate, the car can only stop here; ahead is the pedestrian street behind Ming City University's gate. My car doesn't have a pass, so it can't enter through the main entrance. You just need to walk a little bit to get there," the driver told Chu Nan.

"Thanks."

Chu Nan nodded as he got out of the car, relieved that the driver didn't ask him for money.

It was probably class time now, and the pedestrian street was almost empty, with just a few scattered snack vendors preparing for the night market.

"I... really don't have any money to give you..."

A weak female voice rose, causing Chu Nan to pause, and he glanced in the direction of the sound.

In a corner of the pedestrian street's alley, he saw a young girl with a face full of anxiety and defiance. She was clinging tightly to her backpack as three thuggish-looking young men cornered her against the wall.

The girl was attractive, standing at about 1.65 meters tall, but from her clothes, she seemed to be a student of Ming City University. Her innocent face was unadorned by makeup yet still delicate and beautiful. She was a bit thin, and her clothes didn't fit well but were clean and a bleached white.

From her appearance, her family didn't seem very well-off. Chu Nan frowned slightly. What was wrong with these thugs, thinking they could rob her of anything valuable?

Such amateurs at thievery.

"I, Baldy, am telling you again, hand over everything valuable you have on you, or I won't be polite!"

The leading bald thug bellowed, although he was also anxious inside, as it was the fourth time he had shouted this!

"That's right, hurry up!"

A lackey with dyed blond hair also called out loudly.

"I... I really don't have any more money, look for yourself..."

The girl took out her wallet, which indeed only contained some small change.

"You must have more!"

After Baldy spoke, he looked around suspiciously and murmured to himself, "Where is Chen Youliang? He should have arrived by now..."

"Yeah, Brother Baldy, this act is getting hard to keep up..."

Another lackey with a spiky haircut was also getting anxious.

What kind of nonsensical mess is this?

Chu Nan didn't understand the nonsense these thugs were spouting, but he felt since he had stumbled upon this, he should intervene.

After all, she was a fellow student from the same university, and Chu Nan thought that if he helped this beautiful girl, he might be able to find out some useful information from her.

"Stop!"

Chu Nan had never played the hero before; in the past, if he wanted to deal with someone, he'd directly finish them off without wasting so many words!

However, Chu Nan knew that it wasn't okay to kill people randomly here, as that would probably be a lot of trouble.

"Who... Eh?"

Baldy thought Chen Youliang had arrived but turned to find a construction worker-looking man approaching, someone he didn't recognize at all!

Blondie and Spiky looked at Baldy, unsure of what to do.

"Damn it, you dare meddle in Brother Baldy's business? Are you asking for trouble?"

Baldy wasn't Chen Youliang, but he figured this was probably some loser trying to play the hero, and he glared fiercely as he shouted.

"You'd better get lost, I don't want to get physical. I'm afraid I might accidentally kill someone."

Chu Nan stated frankly.

"Hah, you think this is a TV drama? I'll kill you first!"

Baldy erupted in anger; his plan was in jeopardy with Chen Youliang not around, and the act couldn't continue. He surely couldn't keep asking Lin Xuerou for money over and over, could he? That would be too fake.

Now that a fool had presented himself, Baldy thought he could use him to buy some time, waiting for Chen Youliang to come and play the hero.

But while wishes may be well and good, Baldy drew a rubber club from his waist and savagely swung it at Chu Nan's head.

"Bang!"

There was a loud crash, accompanied by a pitiful scream from Baldy as he was sent flying into the air, slamming against the wall of the small alley. Blood gushed from his mouth as he fell headfirst to the ground, unable to move and continuing to scream in agony.
