Legend of Dragon Son-in-law-Chapter 753 - Blocking the Way_1
Chapter 753: Chapter 753: Blocking the Way_1 Chapter 753 -753: Blocking the Way_1 Medicine King Valley is located in a remote area.
It’s nestled in a large mountain in the western part of China.
To get to Medicine King Valley from Moon City, one must first take a car to Five-river Province.
Then transfer to a plane, and after arriving in the west, continue by car.
Even though the journey is full of twists and turns, it can’t dampen the enthusiasm of the wealthy.
Some bosses who are too lazy to even go to the gym and CEOs who are picky about their beds
now display a spirit of enduring hardship.
Sleeping in tents, navigating rocky paths.
Facing insect bites and even unpredictable weather.
They head to Medicine King Valley without looking back.
It seems no raging fires or steep mountains could cool their zeal.
It’s a little past five in the morning.
Julius Reed is driving Karen and a nearly recovered Terry Moore in a sedan toward the Five-river Province International Airport.
The trip is far, almost requiring more than three hours of driving.
But since the grand event in Medicine King Valley is held in the evening, they have plenty of time.
As long as they arrive at Medicine King Valley before ten at night,
everything will be fine.
There is no direct highway from Moon City to Five-river Province.
Due to road construction, they have to take a muddy country lane.
The first rain of the New Year.
Has moistened the earth.
Although the road is muddy, the car is very stable.
“Brother Davenport, there seems to be a problem ahead,” says Karen.
She drives with one hand and points ahead with the other.
A line of cars is stopped on the muddy dirt road.
Further ahead, there seem to be people standing.
There even appears to be a roadblock.
“The trip to Medicine King Valley is critical, let’s not waste time on other matters,” Julius Reed says with his eyes closed.
“Yes,” Karen agrees readily.
She drives up to the traffic jam.
In front of them is an SUV.
By the labels on the car, it seems to be from a car rental platform.
Around the Lunar New Year, many people rent cars to go home for the celebrations.
Moon City, as its name implies, along with Gonzalez City, are both coastal cities.
Many who can’t buy plane tickets return by ferry to Gonzalez City or Moon City,
and then rent cars to go home.
It’s the trend.
In fact, Karen had thought about renting a car too.
But Julius Reed led her directly to a 4S dealership in Moon City.
At four in the morning on the first day of the New Year,
the owner of the 4S shop, shivering in the cold wind, bid them farewell.
This made Karen sigh.
It’s good to be rich.
As for the issue of the temporary license plate…
Since Julius Reed is the car owner, Karen doesn’t care.
Although—
neither of them has a driver’s license.
“What’s going on!”
“Pay up!”
“What money!”
“Toll fee!”
“This is a national road, government property, show me your documents!”
“Kid, you sure have a lot to say!
If you’re not going to pay, then get lost!
If it weren’t for us brothers maintaining this road every day, how would you be able to travel on it?”
“How much is it?”
“A hundred!”
“Is this a robbery?”
“Then get lost!
I’m here on New Year’s Day, not even home to celebrate!
Beat it!”
“A hundred, here you go!”
“Travel safe!
Don’t expect me to see you out!”
The owner of an Audi at the very front is arguing with a thug-looking guy.
In the end, he gives in.
Pays.
And leaves.
With a crisp new hundred-yuan bill in hand, the thug flicks it casually and tucks it into his pocket,
his face beaming with the joy of a bumper crop.
“Next car!
Come on up!” he says, as he approaches the rental car and taps on the window: “Miss, a hundred yuan!”
But it seems the car window doesn’t come down at all.
“Beauty!
A hundred bucks!”
Clang!
Clang!
The punk was impatiently knocking on the car window.
Boom!
The white SUV accelerated, attempting to break through the roadblock.
“Damn it!
Stop it!”
The punk with green hair was splashed with mud, shouting furiously.
Boom!
Perhaps the driving was too bad.
The white SUV suddenly hit a rock next to the roadblock.
The engine died.
“Damn!
Trying to skip out on the bill?”
The punk waved his hand, and a dozen people approached from the front.
Two sedans also blocked the road.
Several men wielding steel pipes jumped off.
“Open the door!
Hurry up!
Or I’ll smash your car.”
The punk looked at his new clothes splattered with mud, growing angrier by the moment.
“Hurry up!”
Clang!
He kicked the car door.
Leaving a muddy mark on the door of the white SUV.
“What the hell do you want!”
The car door was pushed open.
A girl in white jeans and a yellow sweater stepped out.
She was wearing sunglasses on her head.
“Little bastard, trying to run without paying?”
The punk clutched his clothes, saying viciously, “My new clothes, you fucking got them dirty!
Looking for trouble?”
“Broad daylight, and you’re setting up a roadblock to rob people, is there no law?”
Another woman got out of the passenger seat.
Dressed in black denim, she pointed at the punk, “Do you believe I’ll call the cops?”
“Yo-heave-ho!
You dare to threaten me?”
The punk laughed at her indignation, “Girl, you know where you are?
This is our road that we maintain!
Just to let you know, I’m not afraid of anyone coming here!”
“This is a national road!”
The girl in the yellow sweater angrily retorted, “What you’re doing is no different from robbery!
Bandits!
A bunch of bandits!”
It was drizzling and kind of cold.
The girl in the yellow sweater, obviously feeling the chill, was only wearing the sweater.
“Let me tell you!
If it weren’t for me and my brothers maintaining this road, it would be done for!”
The punk spat on the ground, “Ptui!
I don’t think you want to leave today!”
No sooner had he finished speaking than a group of punks crowded in behind him.
They surrounded the two women.
“What are you doing…”
The two young girls had never seen anything like this before.
They immediately caved.
“Harvey Martin, just give them the money…”
The woman in black denim said softly.
All these punks, looking fierce, might do something rash.
What should we do?

“I’m letting you off this time!
Next time, I will definitely call the cops!”
The woman reluctantly took out a hundred yuan from her wallet and handed it to the punk.
“Not enough!”
The punk snatched the money, eyeing the woman’s wallet, “Another nine hundred!”
“Are you insane?
The person before us, wasn’t it a hundred?
Why increase the price for us?”
Harvey Martin angrily confronted the punk, “You shameless bunch, don’t push your luck!”
“Shut the fuck up!”
The punk with the green hair’s face darkened, pointing to his mud-splattered clothes, “These are my new clothes, splashed by you!”
After speaking, he walked over to the roadblock and kicked the SUV hard.
“Look, even my plastic roadblock is damaged by you!
A thousand bucks, too much?”
“Harvey Martin, just deal with it!”
The girl in black denim evidently didn’t want to cause trouble.
“I only have three hundred left!”
Harvey Martin opened her wallet to show the punk, “Just three hundred!
If that works, fine; if not, forget it!”
These days, most people use WeChat to pay when they go out.
It’s rare for anyone to carry cash.
“No money, you can keep me company for a while, that works too!”
The punk smirked lecherously.
The people behind him egged him on too.
They didn’t really want to cause trouble; they were just annoyed and wanted to disgust the two girls.
“I’m saying, can we go now?
I’m in a hurry to get the hell out of here!”
Just then, Karen rolled down the car window and shouted.
