A carefree soldier king in the city

Chapter 766 Fighting

After dialing three times without an answer, Chao Bufan gave up, assuming Tang Qianqian was still asleep, and put his phone back in his pocket without giving it much thought. Now that his brothers had all left, he suddenly felt a little uneasy, a sense of emptiness washing over him. He spread his arms as if embracing the sea, casting aside all his chaotic thoughts, and then turned and left.

While driving, my phone suddenly rang. I took it out and saw that it was Tang Qianqian calling. I was inexplicably happy and quickly answered, "Hello, Qianqian, are you doing well at home?"

"I...I'm fine, Bufan. I was sleeping just now and didn't hear the phone ring. Is there something wrong?"

"Oh, it's nothing, just calling to ask how your uncle is doing."

"It's much better than before, thank you for your concern!"

"Of course, Qianqian, um..."

"Bufan, I have to go now, I'll hang up! Bye!"

"Oh, okay, Bay!"

Suddenly, Chao Bufan felt a pang of sadness. Why did Qianqian seem a little strange today? Could something have happened to her father? Chao Bufan shook his head sharply. No, Uncle Tang is strong and healthy; he should be alright.

Suddenly, a large truck emerged from the intersection. Chao Bufan reacted quickly, jerking the steering wheel and slamming on the brakes...

"hiss……"

The tires screeched as they rubbed against the ground, and the extraordinary car and the large truck passed each other by.

Chao Bufan was still in shock, feeling as if two of his three souls had left him.

The truck driver wasn't much better off. He drove to the intersection and also failed to notice Chao Bufan's car. When he finally did, he quickly swerved the steering wheel and almost overturned.

The truck driver got out first to check on Chao Bufan. Seeing that he was alright, he was relieved, and Chao Bufan got out as well. The truck driver, a truly honest man, quickly asked, "Brother, are you alright?"

Chao Bufan shook his head and said, "It's nothing, brother. What's wrong with you? You didn't slow down when the car was almost at the intersection. Is that how you drive?"

The truck driver smiled sheepishly and said, "Brother, I'm really sorry. I've been driving for a whole day and night, and I just got a little sleepy and almost caused a disaster. Brother, how about this, you check if there's anything wrong with your truck, and I'll pay for the repairs."

Chao Bufan said, "No need, brother. Just be more careful driving in the future."

With that, Chao Bufan got into the car and drove away.

Now that he's truly free, Chao Bufan feels a bit out of place. Driving alone, he feels empty inside and doesn't know where to go.

That night, he randomly picked a hotel, but just as he fell asleep, that strange dream reappeared in his mind. He woke up with a start, wide awake, thinking, "If only Qianqian were here, at least I'd have someone to talk to and keep me company."

Now that he was wide awake, he slowly pieced together the strange dream from beginning to end, but he couldn't find any clues. For over a year, he had traveled to many places, searching for anything related to dreams, but to no avail. He wondered, could it really just be a dream? But how could he explain suddenly becoming different?

Thinking of the Primordial Spirit and the Great Immortal Yangmei who appeared in his dream, he immediately gave a bitter laugh and muttered to himself, "So all of this was for nothing! What Primordial Spirit, what Great Immortal Yangmei, what Daoist Lu Ya, these are clearly just legends. They are all fictional. The ancestors of mankind are not some goddess Nuwa, but apes."

At this point, Chao Bufan seemed to have come to terms with it a bit; it really was just a dream!

He checked the time; it was exactly midnight. Feeling a bit hungry, he got up, thinking of going out to get something to eat.

The night market here is bustling with night owls every night, rain or shine.

Chao Bufan arrived at the night market, found a suitable barbecue restaurant, and ordered some skewers. Sitting alone at the table, his eyes inadvertently caught sight of a girl with a backpack passing by a barbecue restaurant. Chao Bufan's eyes lit up, and he got up to greet her. Just then, the girl passed a table where several shirtless, tattooed teenagers were seated—clearly the infamous "gangsters." When the gangsters saw the girl, their eyes also lit up. One of them even whistled at her before reaching out and roughly grabbing her buttocks.

"Ah!" the girl screamed, turned around, and immediately flew into a rage: "Are you crazy?"

The gangster remained unmoved by the girl's words and laughed, "Beautiful lady, have a drink with me!"

The girl's angry expression suddenly vanished, and she said, "Want to have a drink with me? Okay!"

Upon hearing this, the gangster was overjoyed, while the other gangsters cast provocative glances at him.

The girl grabbed a glass of beer from the table and decisively splashed it on the thug's face, yelling, "Go to hell!"

"Holy crap!"

The thug shouted angrily, and the others immediately surrounded the girl, who hurriedly asked, "What are you doing?"

"Ha!" one of the thugs sneered, "What are we supposed to do? Beautiful lady, you splashed wine on my brother's face, what do you think we should do?"

“He brought it on himself,” the girl retorted. “Who told him to…”

After cursing loudly, the groper wiped his face haphazardly, then got up and walked up to the girl, saying, "Beautiful lady, you're something else, daring to throw wine at me."

As he spoke, the groper raised his hand to slap the girl, but suddenly realized that the slap didn't land. Someone grabbed his wrist. He turned around and shouted angrily, "Damn it, who are you? Let go!"

The person who grabbed his wrist was none other than Chao Bufan.

The girl was overjoyed when she saw that it was extraordinary.

Chao Bufan didn't speak. He grabbed the boy's wrist and pulled hard, causing the boy to scream like a pig being slaughtered: "Ah... my hand, my hand..."

His accomplices were visibly taken aback when they saw this, while the girl took the opportunity to run behind Chao Bufan.

"Damn it! Beat him up!"

One of the boys realized what was happening and immediately gave the order to gang up on Chao Bufan. The other boys, as if they had been injected with adrenaline, immediately surrounded and attacked him.

This place is a night market with a lot of people. Many people had already looked over after the girl's angry shout, and now that someone was wailing, everyone who heard the sound looked over at the same time.

A fight broke out; this is going to be interesting!

Chao Bufan frowned, strode forward, and unleashed a barrage of punches the size of sandbags and kicks as fast as a whirlwind on the thugs. Within moments, the boys were writhing on the ground, clutching their stomachs and screaming in agony. The boy whose wrist Chao Bufan had broken, his face, previously flushed with pain, turned deathly pale. Looking at Chao Bufan again, he was filled with terror.
