Chapter 213 No Wild Talk Allowed

Seeing the shadowy figures approaching outside the car, Xue Fei desperately closed his eyes.

"Chu Yuxuan, can you tell me, what exactly are you? Your Chu Clan doesn't seem capable of training a team like yours." Chu Yuxuan, with a sickly expression and a mocking smile, said, "Don't worry about it. ... Hey, is this car bulletproof? I wonder if it's fireproof?" As he spoke, Old Five grabbed a gasoline can from Old Three and, with a dark expression, poured it through the shattered car window.

Inside the car, Xue Fei suddenly began to laugh maniacally, not dodging or avoiding as the gasoline drenched him. He glared at Chu Yuxuan and said, "What good outcome could you possibly have? Hahaha... That building, it's too high, too high! Hahaha…"

"Don't worry about it. Just get on with your journey," Chu Yuxuan said, his gaze cold. "I thought I was a wicked person, but compared to you, I'm practically a living Buddha! Hmph... Go down and say hello to your brother. Let him wait for me. I'll make sure he suffers in hell!"

Xue Fei didn't respond. He continued to laugh crazily while muttering, "Those who are greedy are doomed to a bad end! Hahaha... Your Chu Clan will meet the same fate! We're all going to hell, hahaha…"

After Old Five finished pouring the gasoline, he expressionlessly pulled out a ZIPPO lighter from Chu Yuxuan's pocket, struck it, and tossed it into the car window.

The blazing fire immediately engulfed Xue Fei. The madman continued to laugh, but as the flames consumed him, his laughter turned into instinctive screams.

Fire is the most sacred light for humans.

On the way back, the brothers remained somber, showing no signs of pleasure. Chu Yuxuan, tired, leaned against his seat, occasionally glancing at Old Five. After a while, he abruptly asked, "When did this happen?"

Old Five turned his head and looked at him, then glanced out the window. "Remember when you were sent to the detention center by your sister? Uh... that day, I was taking Shuhan to school. Big Brother, you know me, I usually like to chase girls. In your country, as an outsider, I'm quite attractive. It's almost guaranteed. Uh... that day, I thought she was pretty, so I added her on WeChat, hoping for something casual. But later, I realized she was different from other girls. She's really good, I swear, she's really good…"

"I wondered who could have such charm to capture you, the sea king," Chu Yuxuan sighed. "Turns out it was our Cinderella. Not bad, you have good taste."

"Isn't that right... She never accepts my goodwill, not even a cup of coffee. She always wants to return it. She prefers to change her fate through her own efforts rather than relying on others, and she hates being pitied... Big Brother, have you seen her performance? There's light in her eyes. Although she's poor, she never complains or blames anyone."

Old Four: "She doesn't blame the heavens or others."

Old Five: "Exactly. In this era, it's rare to find girls like her... But she rejected me using Chinese. My God, you can't imagine how much effort it took for me to slowly get close to her and make her a bit interested in me…"

Old Four: "A tremendous effort."

Old Five helplessly said, "Look, d*mn it... Hey? Why can you learn faster than me, you d*mn stick?"

Chu Yuxuan was silent for a moment and then asked, "What are your plans for the future?"

Old Five was taken aback. "Uh, you mean, with her? I admit, my Chinese is still a bit lacking, so... I need to work harder. D*mn it, learning Chinese is harder than hacking into Citibank…"

Old Four, glancing at the rearview mirror, said seriously, "I'll teach you."

Old Five shrugged and gave him a white look.

"Sorry," Old Four unexpectedly said these three words. Chu Yuxuan and Old Five both thought they had hearing problems. "Last night, I shouldn't have been so harsh on you," Old Four added.

Old Five pouted and said, "If I hadn't accepted it, would you have beaten me into accepting it?"

Old Four answered seriously, "It wouldn't have been impossible."

Chu Yuxuan laughed, clapping Old Five on the shoulder and said, "How about buying a house near Jiang University? Her father needs to recover, so it would be more convenient."

Old Five firmly refused, shaking his head. "Big Brother, none of this happened, right? Everything should stay as it was before... Uh, I mean, I actually hope she will forget everything when she wakes up. Forget those experiences, and even forget me. I'll start from scratch, chase her again, even if I have to start learning Chinese from scratch."

In another car, Old Three was driving, listening to the three brothers' conversation through the earpiece. He glanced at Xiao Qing and muttered, "Xiao Qing, I feel a bit uncomfortable... Can I lean on your shoulder?"

Xiao Qing, still moved by Old Five's usually emotionally detached demeanor, was startled by Old Three's request and said, "Old Third, you're still driving... Besides, your head is so heavy, I can't let you lean on me."

Old Four: "Qin Shan is weighing heavily."

Old Five: "Hey, that's my line... D*mn stick, why are you making jokes tonight? Your deadpan face is really…"

At this point, Old Four looked up and stared intently at the rearview mirror.

Old Five: "It's fitting, very fitting. You can continue... D*mn it."

The atmosphere suddenly became cheerful.

Chu Yuxuan twisted his neck, leaned against the car window, and lazily said, "Xiao Qing, you really should consider Old Three. I want to be his brother-in-law."

Xiao Qing: "Young Master, please don't make wild remarks…"

Old Three: "Big Brother, hey... I really don't want to hear this!"
