Chapter 68

For the entire afternoon, Zhao Kang kept urging Li Mu to leave first, but Li Mu insisted on staying at the driving school.

The driving school's rule was to end classes promptly at six o'clock, and all the instructor cars had to be parked in designated spots for registration. So, around five o'clock, a somewhat nervous Zhao Kang ran out and circled around, returning breathlessly to tell Li Mu, "There are groups of people at the entrance of the driving school and across the street, about a dozen or so. They look like troublemakers. You should climb over the wall and leave first."

Upon hearing this, Su Yingxue immediately said to Li Mu, "I'll call the police; I don't believe they'll dare to do anything once the police arrive."

Li Mu waved his hand, "Even if the police scare them off today, they'll still be around tomorrow. They're not breaking the law until they make a move, and the police can't do anything about it."

"Damn, we can't just wait for them to make a move!" Zhao Kang was anxious.

Li Mu smiled slightly, took out his phone, and said to the two, "I'll make a call first."

With that, Li Mu walked to the side and called Song Liang.

At this moment, Li Mu had completely deviated from his previous values. Seeking help from Song Liang was the best solution in his eyes, and it had multiple benefits. Not only could it permanently solve the trouble with Guo Yuhang, but it could also strengthen his relationship with Song Liang. He wanted to deepen his friendship with Song Liang before leaving, providing a hidden and powerful support for his parents in Haizhou.

Since the last time Song Liang brought Li Mu back to Haizhou, he had been waiting for Li Mu to contact him. He was very interested in the mature and composed young man and had been waiting for an opportunity to deepen their relationship. Coincidentally, he also hoped that Li Mu would seek his help for something.

When he received Li Mu's call, Song Liang's voice was filled with joy, "Little Brother Li, you finally remembered to call me."

Li Mu's voice carried a hint of apology, "Brother Liang, I'm really sorry, I've been busy lately."

Song Liang laughed, "I heard from Tianming that you started a music website. I don't understand it much, but it seems quite trendy."

Li Mu, surprised that Song Liang had asked Ye Tianming about him, smiled and said, "The website is one part of it. I also opened a store in Haizhou, which is currently being renovated."

"Oh? What kind of store? Do you need any help from me?" Song Liang became interested. Opening a store was no small feat, especially for an 18-year-old who could find a project on the internet and even have the courage to open a physical store. This made Song Liang look at Li Mu even more favorably.

Li Mu smiled, "I joined a clothing brand's specialty store, Metersbonwe. Have you heard of it?"

"Sure, where did you open it? How big is it?"

"At the West Gate, about 170 square meters."

Song Liang was surprised. He knew Metersbonwe very well, and not just Metersbonwe, but many clothing brands. Although he was now in the residential real estate business in Haizhou, he had spent many years in commercial real estate in Jinling. He could easily calculate how much it would cost to open a 170-square-meter brand specialty store at the West Gate.

Li Mu's parents were employees of the Xiling Coal Mine, and Song Liang almost instantly concluded that the money for the store must have been earned by Li Mu himself, though he didn't know how. Song Liang had the discernment and judgment for this.

"I have over a hundred bus stop advertisements and a few billboards in the city center. If you need it, I can promote your store for free."

Real estate developers often stockpile land and advertising resources, and Song Liang was happy to offer this to Li Mu.

Li Mu thanked him but said, "Actually, I called you today because I have a small problem that needs your help."

"Go ahead and speak."

"It's like this, I have a fight scheduled with someone today..."

Li Mu briefly explained the situation: a conflict with a rich kid at the driving school, where he hit the other person, and now the other person was planning to fight him at the driving school entrance at six o'clock.

Without hesitation, Song Liang said, "I'll be there. Before I arrive, if anyone tries to make a move, mention my name."

"Thanks, Brother Liang."

After hanging up, Song Liang stared at his phone and muttered to himself, "The son of the Xiling Coal Mine manager, interesting."

Li Mu returned to the class, where other students were lining up to familiarize themselves with the gears, accelerator, and clutch. As soon as Li Mu walked over, Zhao Kang and Su Yingxue hurriedly asked him what he planned to do.

Li Mu checked the time, "I called a friend, let's wait for his call."

Zhao Kang, full of worry, asked, "What kind of friend? How many people can he bring?"

Li Mu shrugged, "I don't know how many people he can bring."

"That won't do, there are at least a dozen people on the other side..."

Li Mu remained calm, "Let's see. Worrying about it now won't help."

...

Guo Yuhang sat in Zou Hua's sixth-generation Accord, constantly checking his watch.

It was 15 minutes before six, and Guo Yuhang was starting to get restless. He asked Zou Hua, "Brother Hua, what are you going to do when that guy comes out?"

Zou Hua calmly said, "My people will control him, give you a chance to take revenge, and after you're done, my people will break his arm."

Guo Yuhang nodded, his face full of malice, "Damn, he's the first person to hit me in my life, and he did it in front of so many people. The more I think about it, the more I can't swallow this!"

Zou Hua patted his shoulder, "We'll surround him, and you can hit him to your heart's content."

"I'll also make him kneel and apologize in public!" Guo Yuhang gritted his teeth, eager to avenge his humiliation.

Zou Hua, thinking about the 5,000 tons of coal tickets, rolled down the car window and lit a cigarette, saying to Guo Yuhang, "If he doesn't kneel, I'll break his legs!"

Guo Yuhang trembled with excitement at these words.

Zou Hua, with a smug look, flicked the ash out of the car window.

At this moment, a brand new Audi A6 drove past the Accord and stopped beside it. The rear window of the Audi rolled down, and a man in his thirties looked at Zou Hua with a faint smile, "Oh, it's you, Hua. What are you doing here?"

Zou Hua turned his head, saw the man in the back seat of the Audi, and immediately sat up, respectfully calling, "Brother Jun." He then immediately threw away his cigarette, got out of the car, and stood by the Audi window, bending over with a fawning smile, "What are you doing here, Brother Jun?"

"Passing by, what about you?"

Zou Hua hurriedly said, "A younger brother had a conflict with someone, and I came to help him sort it out."

"Ah, good." The man called Brother Jun nodded with a forced smile, then pointed to Zou Hua's Accord, "Is this your new car, Hua?"

"Yes, Brother Jun, I just got it."

"Alright, you're busy." Brother Jun rolled up the window and had the driver drive away. Zou Hua waved and shouted, "Take care, Brother Jun."

Back in his Accord, Guo Yuhang asked in amazement, "Brother Hua, is that Zhang Wanjun?"

"Right." Zou Hua nodded, his face full of admiration.

Guo Yuhang was shocked. Zhang Wanjun was the recognized top figure in Haizhou, with a very loud reputation. Although he had never met him, he had heard a lot about him.

"Brother Hua, you know Zhang Wanjun?"

Zou Hua looked a bit proud, "Yes, I often go to Brother Jun's places, and we are very close."

Guo Yuhang knew that the "places" Zou Hua referred to were illegal gambling dens. Hearing that Zou Hua was close to Zhang Wanjun, he looked at Zou Hua with even more admiration.

"Brother Hua, when can you take me to Brother Jun's place to see the world?"

"After we finish this, bring the coal tickets, and I'll set up a dinner for Brother Jun, and I'll bring you along."

Zou Hua spoke casually, but Guo Yuhang believed him without doubt, nodding eagerly and full of anticipation.
