Girl, let me check it out.

"If your mother were still alive, she would be very happy to see how successful you are now."

When Ji Gang heard this, his face darkened and he unconsciously tightened his grip on the coin.

"Look at my mouth!"

The old man realized that he had said something wrong and quickly tried to make amends for himself.

"When people get old, they tend to speak without restraint. Don't take it to heart."

As the old man was talking, he felt ashamed to stay any longer and quickly broke free from Ji Gang's support.

"It's okay, Uncle Song. I've already..."

Before Ji Gang could finish his words, he heard a commotion and noise coming from a distant street corner.

"Uncle Song, please go back first. I'll go see what happened over there."

Ji Gang said.

"It's okay, just go ahead!"

Song Bo said quickly.

……

On another corner of the block.

"Look! This place wasn't like this before."

This is a clear and energetic voice of a girl, which makes people think of peach blossoms in spring.

It was Tao Yunjiang.

She and Xiao Jin had just rushed back to Changming City from Fufeng today. Xiao Jin went back to the Xiao family's mansion in Lanling, but she did not rest but went straight to this outer city area.

At this moment, she was excitedly explaining something to the two people behind her.

"Uncle Zhang can testify that this place was in a mess before. It is completely different from what it is now."

One of them was Uncle Zhang.

Hearing this, he could only nod helplessly.

"That's true. The reason why this area has developed into a new look is largely due to the contribution of Guangling King Fang Weihan."

"Even Uncle Zhang thinks so!"

Tao Yunjiang smiled with satisfaction and turned his gaze to another person.

He was wearing a mask made of unknown material and a wide hat, so his features could not be seen clearly. One could only vaguely recognize that he was a thin adult man.

"Master Yi Yin, what do you think?"

The girl asked expectantly.

"I have confirmed that he is completely different from those children of aristocratic families. And more importantly, he has the same ideals as us, and he is fighting for the people of the world."

"Can we invite Fang Weihan to join us?"

The man called "Yi Yin" did not speak, but Zhang Shu spoke first:

"Yun Jiang, I think there is something wrong with this matter."

"What's wrong?"

Tao Yunjiang immediately asked back.

She looked at Uncle Zhang with some annoyance.

Uncle Zhang remained silent.

"Uncle Zhang, at this point, you don't still think he's pretending, do you?"

Tao Yunjiang immediately understood what he meant and questioned.

Uncle Zhang didn't say anything, which was tantamount to his agreement.

Tao Yunjiang took a deep breath and forced himself to suppress the anger in his heart.

"If he was pretending, he would never have expressed such a lofty ideal; if he was pretending, he would not have cared about these useless things when his future was uncertain; if he was pretending..."

The girl became more and more excited as she spoke, and even a little angry.

She is really fed up with the frustration of having her lover questioned by others, and the grievance of having her career and ideals not known by her lover!

At this point, Tao Yunjiang can still remember the disappointed look Fang Weihan gave him in the Guangling Palace on that night when there was a chaos in Changming City.

Whenever she thought of it, the girl felt a pang of pain in her heart.

She doesn't want to endure it anymore!

"Uncle Zhang, why don't you believe him?"

The girl had already adopted an angry questioning tone that was rarely seen in her.

Uncle Zhang was about to say something when there was a sudden commotion in the distance, which seemed to be mixed with the sound of cursing.

Tao Yunjiang suppressed the matter for the time being.

"Shall we go take a look?"

She saw "Yi Yin" nod, so she walked over with the two of them.

……

……

On the streets of Changming City, Wang Zhongguang and his followers were galloping on their horses as if no one was around.

The pedestrians on the road were in a panic and avoided it, but they did not dare to curse loudly. They could only spit secretly to express their bad luck.

They know that those who dare to do this are probably people they cannot afford to offend.

"Second Young Master, why do we have to take such a long detour?"

The man who had just gone to report to Wang Zhongguang was walking side by side with Wang Zhongguang.

"The time that the young master agreed with us is coming soon. If we..."

"Snapped!"

Wang Zhongguang raised his whip and whipped the air in front of him hard, creating a sharp explosion.

The man was so frightened that he quickly apologized tremblingly, and fell one step behind him, not daring to say anything more.

In this way, they rushed all the way until they reached the neighborhood where Ji Gang was.

At this moment, Wang Zhongguang pulled the horse's back again and deliberately increased the speed.

The people behind him had no choice but to follow.

The crowd on the road ahead saw their scene and quickly scattered in panic, with screams, curses and scolding heard all around.

But there are always people who can't avoid it.

"Sheng'er!"

A woman's shrill scream was heard.

A little boy was chasing and kicking the pebbles on the road. He had already run to the center of the road, on the path that the horse team must take.

"My child! Save my child!"

The woman tried to squeeze out of the crowd like a madman, but the wall of people in front of her was like an iron wall that blocked her behind.

The people in front of her didn't dare to save the child.

One reason was that they were running out of time and they were afraid of losing their lives. Another reason was that they didn't want to risk angering the big shot on horseback by saving a child they didn't know.

Amid the woman's shrill cries, the child got closer and closer to the horse group.

The little boy who was concentrating on picking up pebbles had no idea what was going to happen.

Immersed in his curiosity about new things, he had temporarily forgotten his mother.

The sound of horse hooves like thunder was getting closer and closer.

The people around couldn't bear it and closed their eyes, not wanting to see the bloody scene that was about to happen.

At this time, Tao Yunjiang happened to see this scene.

Without any hesitation, blood and energy surged under her feet, and she prepared to go over to save people.

But suddenly, a more powerful blood energy appeared and pinned her firmly to the spot.

Tao Yunjiang turned around in disbelief.

"...Uncle Zhang?"

"Yun Jiang, you can't go."

Uncle Zhang said helplessly.

"The man on the horse is the second son of the Uehara Wang family. If you go to save him, it may cause unnecessary trouble to the organization."

"Are we just going to watch that child die here?"

The girl clenched her fists and asked angrily.

"This is not just my opinion. Lord Yi Yin also has this opinion."

Uncle Zhang smiled bitterly.

The girl suddenly turned her gaze to the man in the bamboo hat, only to see that he actually nodded slightly.

Tao Yunjiang seemed to have been drained of all his strength and stood there in a daze.

"For the sake of a longer-term vision, these minor hardships can be endured."

Uncle Zhang said calmly.

"You are still young now, there are some things you don't understand, you will slowly understand them in the future."

Tao Yunjiang didn't say anything else.

She was disappointed now, but more angry at her own incompetence.

If only I could be a little stronger, strong enough to break free from everyone's bondage to me, strong enough to change all the injustices in the world...

The girl clenched her fists tighter.

At this moment, a cry of surprise broke out from the crowd.

The girl looked quickly and saw a familiar figure rushing out from the crowd. He rolled over and hugged the little boy, then rolled to the side before the horse's hooves stepped on his body.

It’s Ji Gang!

Tao Yunjiang recognized the man and couldn't help but feel relieved.

It's good that the people were rescued.

She was very grateful.

Ji Gang rolled to the side of the road holding the little boy. His body was covered with dust, but the little boy's clothes were intact.

He protected his body and was careful to avoid the ground.

"It's okay, don't cry!"

Ji Gang gave the little boy a smile despite his dusty face.

The little boy didn't cry.

He blinked in confusion, then laughed happily.

Ji Gang looked at him and smiled, and couldn't help but smile too.

“Thank you…thank you!”

The woman squeezed through the crowd, hugged her child, knelt down and expressed her gratitude in tears.

"It's okay, it should be."

Ji Gang stood up.

"it is good!"

I don't know who took the lead, but the crowd burst into cheers and applause.
