Shuangling: Braving the Rapids

"Kid! The boss isn't here! Come wash my car!" The scarred man smirked as he saw Yue Chuan come out. This guy was the type to hold a grudge; the boy had ruined his plans, so he immediately came to get revenge.

At this moment, Yue Chuan was extremely unhappy. Normally, it was one thing for the scarred man to come looking for trouble, but to come again under these circumstances, even a fool could tell that the other party was up to no good!

Yue Chuan turned to look at his cousin behind him, clearly wanting to ask her for help, but Er Niu pouted and said, "Why are you looking at me? Just wash it when I tell you to!"

"What? You come here to work, and you think you can refuse to work for your employer?" the scarred man shouted back.

The two of them worked together to corner the boy. The boy was naive and had no idea what they were up to, so he could only obediently listen and pick up the high-pressure water gun.

Yue Chuan had oversimplified the problem, thinking that as long as he did his work carefully and diligently, he could escape unscathed. But how could the scarred man, with his ulterior motives, let him get away unscathed? In short, the trap had been dug, and all that was left was for the boy to jump in.

After a lot of effort, Yue Chuan finally got the car clean. He swore to God that this time the washing took much longer and was much more thorough than before. It seems he really went all out to prevent the scarred man from deliberately causing trouble.

"It's all washed. I wiped it down inside and out several times, and I even tidied up the seats and trunk..."

Before Yue Chuan could finish speaking, the scarred man rudely shoved him aside. The man then opened the car door, pretended to rummage through the storage box next to the driver's seat, and turned to yell at the boy, "Kid! Have you seen my cell phone?"

Upon hearing this, Yue Chuan's mind went blank. Despite all his precautions, he never expected that the other party would be waiting for him here!

"I haven't seen your cell phone! I won't take your things! Don't try to extort me!" Yue Chuan retorted loudly, his emotions running high.

Seeing the boy's reaction, the scarred man was taken aback at first, then narrowed his eyes and said, "Fine! You say you didn't take it, do you dare let me search your room?"

After saying that, the scarred man grabbed the boy by the collar and dragged him into the store without saying a word. At this moment, Yue Chuan felt that his body was threatened and fought back. With a "rip", the faded short-sleeved shirt he was wearing was torn open.

At this point, Yue Chuan didn't care about his image anymore. He ran for his life, and in just over ten seconds, he had created a distance of dozens of meters between himself and his opponent. Fortunately, there weren't many people outside at midday, otherwise, he would have been laughed at again.

"Kid... don't run away yet, listen to me... I bought this mobile phone in Hong Kong for over ten thousand dollars, and now it's lost. You have to help me find it! You're the only one who touched my car here, and you even have the keys. You think you can just say you didn't see it and that's it?" Although the scarred man was strong, his legs weren't as nimble as Yue Chuan's. After chasing for a while, he was so tired that he was dizzy and breathless.

Yue Chuan didn't want to listen to the other party's nonsense, but his luggage and the two hundred yuan he had just received were still in the dormitory in the backyard, and he couldn't just leave!

Just as Yue Chuan was hesitating, Er Niu, who had disappeared for a while, suddenly reappeared. Standing next to the scarred man, she called out to her cousin, "Little Chuan, don't be afraid! If you didn't take his things, just take the guests to your room to look for them. If you really did take them, just apologize to him. I'm right here. Do you think I'll let him bully you?"

Erniu's words sounded grand and righteous, but they actually concealed malicious intentions. If Yue Chuan really listened to her and went to the dormitory, not only would he not be able to prove his innocence, but he would definitely be trapped like a fish in a barrel!

Clearly, this woman had secretly hidden her lover's "big brother" phone in Yue Chuan's luggage!

As for why she wanted to frame her cousin, it's not hard to guess. After all, her cousin had witnessed her shameful affair, so how could she shut him up? They didn't have the guts to kill him to silence him, so the best way was to also have something on him. If they couldn't find anything, they would just make one up!

A wise man once said that the human heart is more deceitful than anything else, and it seems that this is true. When it comes to cunning, Yue Chuan is no match for these two, but he's not stupid either. After much deliberation, he has only one decision—he will absolutely not go back to the dormitory!

Seeing that the boy wasn't fooled, the scarred man became enraged and pointed at Yue Chuan's nose, cursing, "You little brat! If I don't teach you a lesson today, you won't know how many eyes the King of Horses has! If I find your cell phone in your room or luggage later, I'll chop you up alive!"

Erniu chimed in, "Xiao Chuan'er, things haven't come to that yet. There's still room for negotiation. If we really find that thing in your room, even your sister can't protect it. I'm telling you this now: when the police arrive, I'll have to tell the truth..."

"I said I didn't take it, and that's final! Even if the police and the boss come, I'm not afraid!" Yue Chuan shouted back.

They tried to coax and deceive Yue Chuan, one playing the good cop and the other the bad cop, but to no avail. On the contrary, when the boy mentioned the word "boss," Yue Chuan felt a strange sense of panic. Perhaps this is what they call a guilty conscience!

"Dare to talk nonsense! I'll skin you alive!"

The scarred man flew into a rage, jumped up and cursed, then charged at Yue Chuan with all his might. On this sweltering day, another cat-and-mouse game was about to unfold.

The boy ran ahead, and the scarred man chased after him, keeping a distance of about ten meters between them. Yue Chuan originally had a chance to escape, but he tripped over a stone and fell to the ground. The scarred man seized the opportunity and pounced on him like a wolf.

Seeing this, Yue Chuan endured the pain and hurriedly got up, but it was too late. In an instant, his thin, dark arm was firmly gripped by the scarred man.

"I'll teach you to run! I'll teach you to run..." The scarred man cursed as he punched the boy's skull repeatedly. Yue Chuan, enraged, took advantage of the man's momentary lapse in attention and bit his arm.

Over the past six months, Yue Chuan has grown taller and heavier. In addition, he has been running every night. Even if he is no match for a strong opponent, he still has the strength to fight back. Taking advantage of the scarred man's pain and exhaustion, the boy managed to break free from the other man's clutches!

The weather was too hot. He had used up a lot of energy in the ditch earlier, so the scarred man's fighting power was less than half of what it usually was. Otherwise, how could Yue Chuan have escaped from him?

Seeing that the cooked duck was about to fly away, the scarred man was unwilling to give up and wanted to put more effort into tracking his "prey". But just then, several people walked out of the store next to the road.

Everyone was taking a nap, but after being woken up, they all angrily gathered around...
