These people got out of the car, sneered, and followed, wanting to see what Ye Tian intended to do.
When they reached a place out of sight, Ye Tian asked, "Are you really not letting me fix the car?"
The bearded man said, "Only we can fix cars in this place. The labor cost is five thousand per hour!"
Ye Tian nodded, "Then I won't be polite."
"Pfft!"
Before he could finish speaking, he punched the bearded man in the stomach. The latter's eyes widened, and he vomited his undigested food, his face contorted in pain.
The other two were startled, then quickly moved to grab Ye Tian. But as soon as they reached out, Ye Tian pulled them to the ground and then kicked them fiercely.
"Ouch, stop hitting me, you'll kill me!"
"If you hit me again, I'll call the police!"
Ye Tian sneered, "Call the police? Believe it or not, I'll beat you into an idiot, and you won't even know what to say when you see the police?"
The bearded man stubbornly said, "I don't believe it!"
Ye Tian punched him on the head, hitting an acupoint. After being hit, the bearded man's mouth became crooked, drool dripped from his mouth, and he truly became an idiot.
The other two were scared silly and begged repeatedly, "Merciful hero, spare us, we dare not anymore, never again!"
Ye Tian stepped forward and kicked them again, breaking at least seven or eight bones in each of them. Only then did he vent his anger and said coldly, "You can call the police, but I guarantee you'll wish you were dead!"
"We dare not, we dare not!" the two cried.
After teaching the three a lesson, Ye Tian swaggered away.
Back in the car, Hua Qingcheng had already gone to the restroom. She asked, "Brother Ye Tian, where did you go?"
Ye Tian replied, "Nothing much, just went for a smoke."
He quickly changed the tire, and the car continued on the highway.
Thus, after stopping at service areas three times, the car finally arrived near Wuming Mountain. After getting off the highway, there were still more than a hundred kilometers to Wuming Mountain.
It was getting dark, and there was a county town dozens of miles from the highway. So, he found a hotel in the county town to stay for the night.
Hua Qingcheng was also a bit tired from the long drive. After taking a shower, she soon fell into a deep sleep.
Ye Tian also slept for a while. Then, around ten o'clock, Hua Qingcheng woke him up, "Brother Ye Tian, I'm hungry."
Ye Tian sat up and said, "Shall we go out to eat something then?"
Hua Qingcheng replied, "When we were coming, I saw a snack street near the hotel. How about we go there?"
Ye Tian nodded, "Okay."
The two changed their clothes and went outside. They walked to a street alley filled with food vendors, many of which offered local specialties that were hard to find elsewhere.
However, there weren't many things a pregnant woman could eat, nothing too spicy or with too many additives. They only found a few stalls towards the back.
Just then, a group of teenagers, around seventeen or eighteen years old, walked past side by side. They were smoking and swinging skewers of lamb in their hands, causing people around them to dodge.
The teenagers were chatting and laughing, completely ignoring the gazes of others. When they passed by Hua Qingcheng, they suddenly stopped. The leader, a teenager, whistled.
"Yo, there's a beautiful sister here." He didn't care that Ye Tian was present and leaned forward to greet Hua Qingcheng.
Hua Qingcheng turned her face away and ignored him. Ye Tian said, "If you've eaten enough, go somewhere else. Don't hang around here."
The teenager's eyes narrowed. He took a bite of his skewer and said coldly, "Kid, do you know who I am?"
Ye Tian replied, "I'm not interested in what you are."
The teenager chuckled and nodded, "Alright, then you wait." After saying that, he waved his hand and led his group away.
The stall owner quickly said to Ye Tian, "You guys should leave quickly. That person is Xu Xiaohu, the younger brother of Xu Yuan, a local bully. Xu Yuan has connections everywhere and has killed several people without being arrested."
Ye Tian said indifferently, "Thank you for the reminder, boss. I'm not afraid of bullies. If he dares to provoke me, he'll be the one to suffer."
The stall owner wasn't one to meddle. Seeing that Ye Tian wasn't listening, he said no more.
Hua Qingcheng said, "Brother Ye Tian, what era is this, and there are still people like this who dominate a region."
Ye Tian replied, "This kind of thing is very normal. Every country has it, just to varying degrees. Qingcheng, let's walk ahead."
Passing through the snack street, they reached a park. As soon as the two arrived at the park entrance, they saw the group of teenagers appear and surround them.
