"Boss Song, where are we going now?"
Glancing at the time, Song Yun noticed it was already past ten o'clock at night. Ye Qingqing and her party had checked directly into the guesthouse inside the red walls upon their arrival at Forty-nine City.
He couldn't possibly start arranging for temporary entry and exit permits in the middle of the night; it was too much trouble. It was better to simply spend the night at the Ouyang family's place.
"Let's go to the Ouyang family's," he said.
Huang Baoding nodded and started driving toward the Ouyang family's home. Enjoy exclusive content from Freewebnovel
While they were stopped at an intersection waiting for the red light, chatting intermittently, Song Yun saw through the rearview mirror a man on an electric bike, skulking behind a female office worker who had just gotten off work.
The office lady was walking while playing with her phone, utterly unaware of the impending danger behind her.
The man on the electric bike suddenly accelerated, snatching the woman's phone and sped away.
The woman was sideswiped by the electric bike, stumbled, and fell to the ground, grazing her knees until they bled.
After she recovered her senses, she desperately chased after the electric bike. Perhaps her phone wasn't worth much, but the data inside was incredibly important!
If she lost her phone, she would also lose many clients!
"Brother Huang, chase after him!"
Song Yun, with a frown on his face, said, "People are still bold enough to do such things these days!"
Huang Baoding floored the accelerator, and their vehicle rapidly pursued the electric bike, which had no idea it was being targeted.
The thief kept looking back to see if the woman was following and, after confirming that he had shaken her off, he triumphantly looked at the phone in his hand.
The latest model of iPhone, even if he sold it, would fetch him several thousand at least!
He hadn't expected to make enough money for several days' worth of late-night snacks just by going out once!
Just as he was thinking of getting together with his shady friends for a round of fun, a car suddenly cut in front of him!
He couldn't evade quickly enough and braked hard, pitching himself into the greenery.
"Fuck! Can't you fucking drive? If not, go get your license again! Idiot, driving on the freaking non-motorized lane, you're a real piece of work!" he cursed, pushing his bike, and shouted, "Let me tell you! This isn't over! You definitely drank and drove today! We must call the police!"
"You sure talk a lot," Huang Baoding said, grabbing the guy's collar with a menacing look. "Don't think I didn't see what you just did! You want to call the cops, huh? Go ahead, call them!"
"You... what are you talking about? I don't understand a word you're saying. I can't afford to offend you rich people. Isn't it enough if I just leave? Let go of me! Let's pretend this never happened!"
"Let me tell you, you're not going anywhere!"
Snorting disdainfully, Huang Baoding said, "I called the police before I even got out of the car. You can talk to them when they arrive!"
"Big brother... I was just blinded by greed. You don't have to be so harsh... I was wrong. I beg for mercy. I've reflected on my actions. Isn't it enough if I return what I took?"
The man's voice trembled as he said, "I really know I was wrong. If that's still not enough, I'm willing to compensate with money! Any amount will do. Please show some leniency and let me go!"
"Nice try, but it won't be that easy. That girl's knees are injured because of you, and this matter won't just end like that!"
Huang Baoding said coolly.
Due to the commotion, many people who had just gotten off work or were out for a walk after dinner gathered around.
When they saw the luxury car, the electric bike, and Huang Baoding grabbing the man by the collar, their minds unconsciously conjured up a grand drama.
"Young man, spare others when you can, it was just an accident that he hit your car, I don't see any scratch on your car either, how about giving him a chance!"
A woman walking her dog calmly said, "It's hard for everyone to find work out there. Look at his clothes; they're all from a street stall, probably his entire outfit doesn't even add up to a hundred yuan. You can't squeeze oil out of such a poor guy!"
"Yes, yes, I took a close look just now, and there are no marks on your car. Does he really have to compensate for that?"
"Youngster, it's good to have more friends and paths when you're out and about, don't you agree? I see you're driving a car that's worth one or two million yuan, so you must be someone with a big vision, no need to waste your time over such trivial matters!"
The onlookers were all making comments, putting Huang Baoding in quite a predicament.
Every time he tried to say something, someone would interrupt him, so he simply waited for the police to handle it!
Unknown to him, someone in the crowd had already started recording.
"Make way, please, make way!"
The office lady whose phone had been stolen gasped for air as she ran over, her stockings now stained with blood and dirt, looking rather grubby.
"Bastard!"
Upon seeing the person in Huang Baoding's grasp, the office lady raised her handbag and smashed it against the thief's body, "That was my brand new phone! It has all my clients' information! Of all things to steal, you steal my phone! Drop dead, drop dead, drop dead!"
Through these exclamations, the onlookers realized that the pitiful-looking man was actually a thief, and the fierce-looking individual was a righteous vigilante!
Such a rapid reversal of roles!
Just then, the sound of police sirens approached, and after handing the man over to the police, Huang Baoding returned to his car.
"That office lady is very grateful to you, she wanted to ask you out for dinner,"
Song Yun said teasingly, "How about I give you a day off tomorrow, and I'll cover for you with Yang Yingying."
"Boss Song, please don't joke with me, I'm just a simple man. Being with a good girl like Yingying is already my ancestors' blessing! I dare not be unfaithful!"
Huang Baoding pleaded.
Laughing and joking, the two of them arrived at the Ouyang Family's place.
Perhaps sensing Song Yun would come over to stay tonight, the old master Ouyang had already made arrangements with the gatekeeper in advance.
After freshening up and having a video call with his wife, discussing the day's events, Song Yun drifted into sleep.

Song Yun had a restful sleep, dreamless until eight o'clock the next morning.
After getting up and getting ready, Song Yun went to the old master's study, and as soon as he entered, he saw Huang Baoding standing in front of the desk with a wronged look.
"What happened?"
Song Yun asked cheerfully.
"See for yourself, it's all over the trending searches."
The old master Ouyang passed his phone over helplessly, and Song Yun glanced at it, recognizing the incident from the previous night.
But he quickly realized something was off. The video had been maliciously edited to portray Huang Baoding as a greedy rich man.
The video was posted last night at eleven-thirty, and within one night, the view count had reached ten million!
Huang Baoding kept being maliciously slandered!
"Someone recognized the car in the video as belonging to the Ouyang Family, so they specifically called to inquire about how to handle this situation."
The old master Ouyang said indifferently, "My response was to deal with it impartially!"
