75: Chapter 75 A thug isn't scary, what's scary is a thug with culture.

Tang Luochuan held up his phone, the cold light from the screen reflecting on his half-smiling face.

The two thugs still standing looked at each other, their legs already starting to shake. It wasn't like they hadn't heard threats like "I'll pay to have your whole family ruined" before.

But coming from the mouth of a college student dressed in designer brands and driving a BMW X7, it sent a chill down their spines—because this guy was actually filthy rich.

"Bro, bro..." One of the kids with green-dyed hair took half a step back. "We were just messing around. I only make 8,000 yuan a month. I... I... was wrong. I'll follow you from now on."

"Get lost! How about you?" Tang Luochuan glanced at the other person.

That person looked like he wanted to cry. "Bro, I said we shouldn't break traffic laws. It would have been better if we had just driven straight."

It was clear this guy was more of a reluctant participant.

Old Zhang felt a jolt of panic when he heard Tang Luochuan's words.

Thugs aren't scary; what's scary is when thugs are educated!

Did he really run into an educated thug?

They intimidated these college students mostly because the other party was young and inexperienced.

It was easy to fool them.

On the other hand, they had Gao Mingxuan backing them up.

Furthermore, many people had a weak understanding of the law...

Many people treat lawsuits as just a game of winning or losing, but the word 'drag' was something he had only heard from previous bosses.

Sometimes, if you have money, you can drag out a lawsuit until the other party runs out of money and time, and can't afford to play anymore—then you win!!

This kid was a tough customer.

"Brother... I... I..." Old Zhang's lips were trembling; there was no way he could win a fight.

He had basically come here just to get beaten up. If that slap just now had hit his head instead of his face, he would have been knocked out cold.

"I was wrong! Bro, I was wrong!" Old Zhang was much older than the other party, but at this moment, he had no choice but to admit defeat.

Tang Luochuan's expression was indifferent. He turned on the recording and asked, "Did Gao Mingxuan send you?"

"Uh... this..."

"If you lie, the consequences will be severe."

"Yes, yes, yes... he just told us to come and scare you, said not to cripple you, that's all."

"Why?"

"He felt you slighted him last time."

"What's the situation with the Gao Family right now?"

"The Gao Family is failing. Gao Mingxuan is very anxious right now, so... he... oh right!"

Old Zhang started spilling everything as if he were trying to earn credit. "He has a fiancée in Nanhang, one in Yanjing, and one in Shenzhen! And... he has two illegitimate children abroad with two white chicks!! Brother... you... you are a magnanimous person, don't... don't go after my family. My daughter is only in the fourth grade... My mom is sick... I'm just a worker... I... I was wrong!!"

Thugs like Old Zhang had no morals to speak of, but family was a normal person's weak spot.

At this moment, he wouldn't care about any old loyalties; everyone was just working for a living.

He did the job and got paid; it was only natural.

He was just truly afraid that this kid would go after his family and threaten to find a bunch of thugs just like him.

"Get lost." Tang Luochuan put his phone away and stood there, sending the video to Su Wantang.

The few men felt like they had been granted amnesty and scrambled to leave.

The other two hurriedly went to the cement bags and hoisted up the almost unconscious blond-haired guy.

"Uh... damn... so much money... hehe..." The blond guy was in a semi-conscious state, seemingly seeing money filling the sky.

He was actually trying to grab at it with his hands.

"Oh right, just say you didn't find me today! Understand?"

"Huh?" Old Zhang was a bit confused.

"I said, tell that guy surnamed Gao that you didn't find me and Su Wantang today."

"Don't worry, I definitely won't tell him you cuckolded him."

"Damn... you... sigh... fine, fine, fine... that's close enough. Get lost!"

The group hurriedly got into the cadillac and fled in a panic.

In the evening breeze, Su Wantang gripped her phone tightly, her mood, which had just eased, suddenly plummeting.

"Why is it like this?"

"Let's head back first."

Su Wantang didn't move; she just looked up at him.

The glow of the streetlamp fell on his face, outlining a sharp jawline. The ruthless look from just a moment ago was still branded in her mind, but right now, his eyes were clear, which inexplicably made her feel at ease.

"Can you protect me?" Su Wantang asked from the heart, without a single thought passing through her brain.

It was purely a human instinct; at this moment, only a boy could give her a sense of security.

"I... but..." Tang Luochuan hesitated.

Under normal circumstances, he would definitely not agree; she had nothing to do with him.

Why offend Gao Mingxuan for a girl he had only known for a few days?

But on the other hand, everyone has a desire to protect others.

Seeing a cute child, women have their maternal instincts triggered.

Seeing a beauty in distress, men always fantasize about being a hero saving the damsel.

Of course, there was another type of person, and that was a simp.

After saving someone, they get hit with the "nice guy" card, but Tang Luochuan couldn't ask her right now: "Will you give me a nice guy card?"

Because he didn't intend to pursue her either; he just felt his heart soften looking at how pitiful she was.

Tang Luochuan thought for a moment. What he could offer right now wasn't help, but advice: "Make things clear with your parents. I think they will definitely protect you well. Don't be timid."

By doing this, he wouldn't be failing to care about her! At the very least, it counted as a gesture of concern.

But substantial help, he couldn't do. That wasn't just about eating a meal or spending a few hundred or a thousand yuan while shopping.

That was offending a local rich kid. Tang Luochuan wasn't afraid, but he wasn't stupid either.

He would settle the score with Old Zhang for provoking him, and the hatred for their coveting Jiang Jinyue.

But he wouldn't settle the score for deceiving Su Wantang.

...

The car started up again.

Soon, they arrived at the school, and Su Wantang's father also received that video.

The previous message was also quickly replied to.

Su Bingqiang: [Wantang, I have temporarily called off the engagement. I have already contacted several close friends to go and properly confirm the situation with the Gao Family. This matter cannot be decided based on one side's story. Furthermore, you and Gao Mingxuan have known each other for so long, we still need to get a better understanding of his character.]

Su Bingqiang: [I used to be strict with you and didn't let you be willful, not because I didn't love you, but because I was afraid you would take the wrong path. It's very good that you are willing to tell your father about your concerns. Don't bottle things up in the future; Mom and Dad will always be your support.]

Looking at her father's reply, the girl's tears finally couldn't be held back.

She had been disciplined too strictly by her parents and had never been this honest with them before.

But only at this moment did she understand that behind those seemingly harsh demands, all that was hidden was her parents' quiet, unwavering love.

"Luochuan!"

"Huh?"

"I'm very happy to be with you today!"

"That's a must. My methods for picking up girls... well... this way I have of chatting isn't something just anyone can master!"
