57: Tiequn Gang Leader

After finishing the arithmetic problem, Pan Han couldn't help but shout loudly.

Cheng Xiao hadn't thought of him as an idiot for a long time, but now that familiar feeling was back!

That's right, he was still the same idiotic thing he first encountered!

"Lord Pan, what fortune have you stumbled upon now?" Cheng Xiao simply let go of the steering wheel and turned on the autopilot.

"Is the gasoline here that fuel-efficient?" Pan Han looked at the arithmetic book, then at Cheng Xiao.

"Are you confused again? What do you mean by fuel-efficient?"

"What's the displacement of this truck?"

"8.0 liters!"

"How many liters per hundred kilometers when empty?"

"About 1.5 liters."

"That's not fuel-efficient?"

"I don't know, that's just how it is refined from crude oil."

Pan Han didn't continue to ask, but silently made a mental note of it. He would study it thoroughly after dealing with the Iron Gang and returning.

"Calling Qin Laoda!" Pan Han pulled out the walkie-talkie with a backhand.

"Received, Lord, please speak."

"Take good care of my Brother Yong!"

"Received, Lord!"

"Thank you for your concern, Lord Pan!" He Yong heard Pan Han's message from afar and was especially excited, grabbing the walkie-talkie to reply.

Second Sister sat in the back seat, secretly rolling her eyes. She still didn't know the full situation, so she still found He Yong, this dying man, repulsive.

A two-hour journey, and they arrived in no time.

When they were still ten kilometers from the Iron Gang base, Cheng Xiao took over from the autopilot. The convoy's speed gradually slowed.

At this moment, a tall and mighty modified pickup truck appeared in front. The front bumper was covered with iron spikes, and there was a machine gun on the roof. The most eye-catching feature was the fluttering flag, which clearly bore the character "Iron."

The convoy stopped in front of the pickup, and everyone got out.

He Yong walked at the very front, heading straight for the person who emerged from the pickup.

"Ruoying, you came to pick me up!" He Yong recognized the person at once and ran towards him with surprise.

"Brother Yong! Brother Yong!" The man named Ruoying waved his arms, greeting He Yong.

After they met, they first shared a big hug, then kissed passionately for half a minute.

After savoring the moment for a long time, He Yong finally opened his eyes, looked at Pan Han apologetically, and motioned for him to come over.

Pan Han suppressed his goosebumps and moved over with a chuckle.

"Ruoying, let me introduce you, this is the current leader of Dawn Base, Pan Han, Lord Pan! He has brought a great gift this time." It must be said that He Yong gave Pan Han a lot of face; his tone and gaze were very friendly during the introduction.

Ruoying understood He Yong. Hearing him introduce Pan Han like this, he naturally knew that Pan Han should be well-received.

So he bowed slightly, asking with a smile, "Hello, Lord Pan, it's truly hard for you to travel so far!"

After speaking, he took Pan Han's hand and performed a hand-kissing ritual!

Pan Han didn't know how to reciprocate and was afraid of giving himself away, so he quickly took out a small bag from his pocket.

"Hello, hello, it's our first meeting, and I didn't prepare much. Here are two boxes of cigarettes, please accept them."

"Oh! Lord Pan, how can I accept this? How can I accept a gift on our first meeting?" Ruoying was overwhelmed with flattery.

"Ruoying, take it. Our Lord Pan is one of us!" He Yong quickly explained.

"Alright then, I will respectfully obey!" Ruoying took the bag and turned to hand it to his brother behind him.

"The base is ten kilometers ahead. Our boss sent me out to pick you all up."

"Hahahaha! Our boss is indeed prescient! He knew Dawn Base would definitely come to rescue people in three days." He Yong said.

"Right! Right, right! Lord Pan is right, we are here to make friends today! Please! We will lead the way!" He Yong was naturally very pleased and happily got into Ruoying's car.

So, the Iron Gang pickup led the Dawn Base convoy towards the base.

Pan Han returned to the truck and immediately rubbed the back of his hand vigorously against his clothes seven or eight times.

Cheng Xiao covered her mouth, secretly laughing.

"Damn it, I should have let Qin Laoda come instead. Screw it!"

"Hahahahaha!" Cheng Xiao couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Soon, the convoy entered the main gate of the Iron Gang base.

This base was roughly the same size as the current Dawn Base. However, the defenses were clearly stronger; Pan Han not only saw heavy machine gun positions but also automatic grenade launchers, flamethrowers, and even 20mm autocannon positions.

He couldn't help but feel a chill, secretly thinking that it was fortunate they didn't force their way in, otherwise many brothers would have died.

After entering, there was a large square, and behind the square stood a three-story building. The convoy parked neatly in the square.

From the three-story building, several burly men emerged.

The one leading them was about 2 meters tall, with strong limbs, but he had an unusually delicate face, with a cleanly shaved beard, as if he had even used hair gel.

Was this taste cultivated by something?

He Yong got out of the car and, seeing this 2-meter tall delicate strongman, immediately ran over.

"Boss! I'm back!"

The strongman nodded slightly when He Yong arrived, but his gaze was fixed on Pan Han.

Pan Han immediately felt a cold glare pierce through the car window and hit him.

"Good heavens! This Iron Gang boss is indeed not simple!" Pan Han said to Cheng Xiao.

"Yes, that's him! His name is Xiang Xiu!"

"Pfft!"

"The Iron Gang has a rule: the higher one's status, the gentler the name they can use." Cheng Xiao explained, seeing that Pan Han was a bit confused.

"Ah? This! This is very scientific!" Pan Han said, deep in thought, after hearing this!

"This is already the fourth generation of Xiang Xiu! Many people died in their internal struggles to contend for this position before!"

"He Yong, Ruoying, Xiang Xiu? It does seem to get gentler and gentler! These people are quite interesting!"

"Let's go, get out of the car!"

At this moment, Qin Zhong, Second Sister, Wei Monk, and the others had already gathered around the truck. Seeing this, Pan Han quickly got out of the car as well.

In the distance, He Yong was reporting the situation to Xiang Xiu.

The more Xiang Xiu listened, the more joyful his expression became, and his gaze towards Pan Han grew even gentler.

"Qin Laoda, you lead the way, I'll still walk in the middle." Pan Han was feeling uncomfortable all over, and Qin Laoda could tell. He chuckled to himself and immediately walked at the very front to lead the way. The others, hearing this, quickly surrounded Pan Han in the middle.

Pan Han deliberately walked behind Qin Zhong, trying to avoid Xiang Xiu's gaze.

By the time everyone reached the building, Xiang Xiu had already taken the initiative to walk down the steps and greet them.

"Oh my! Qin Laoda, long time no see!"

Xiang Xiu and Qin Zhong were old acquaintances! The two had a history before, but now they belonged to different factions.

"Cut it out, Xiang Xiu! You old rascal, you just settled down for a bit, and now you're stirring up trouble again! Where's my fifth brother!" Qin Zhong didn't waste words and went straight to the point.

"Why are you so fierce! Really, shouldn't you introduce your Lord first?" Xiang Xiu pinched an orchid finger and lightly poked Qin Zhong.

Qin Zhong wanted to flare up, but felt that Xiang Xiu had a point, so he shifted his body, revealing Pan Han.

"This is the current master of Dawn Base, Lord Pan!" Qin Zhong braced himself and introduced Pan Han to Xiang Xiu.

"Lord Pan, hello, I am Xiang Xiu, the leader of the Iron Gang. It's been hard for you to travel all this way!" Xiang Xiu extended his hand.

Pan Han quickly went up and shook hands with the other party.

The two exchanged a few pleasantries, and Pan Han presented another gift box.

Xiang Xiu accepted the gift, expressed his gratitude, and invited everyone inside.

Qin Zhong looked back, signaling Wei Monk to watch the truck, then led everyone into the three-story building.
