Chapter 243: Arrival
As he spoke, Boss Zhao took out his phone from his pocket and began to make a call.
Meanwhile, Liu Ergou thought for a moment and decided to give San Ye a call, too.
Strictly speaking, this is the first real trouble I've ever been in, he thought. It's about time San Ye helped me out for once.
But the moment Liu Ergou took out his phone, he remembered a very important problem. I don't even have San Ye's phone number!
Looking at his phone, Liu Ergou fell into deep thought.
Boss Zhao, on the other hand, had already ended his call. He had undoubtedly gotten in touch with the so-called Sixth Master.
Watching Liu Ergou lost in thought, Boss Zhao couldn't help but laugh loudly and taunt, "Kid, just you wait. Once the Sixth Master gets here, nobody can save you!"
"Even your so-called San Ye is useless! The Sixth Master's connections reach the heavens. In his presence, common folk are less than a fart!"
Liu Ergou ignored Boss Zhao's grandiose claims and instead pondered what to do. After some thought, he finally came up with a good idea: he would call Cai Qiang. He had gotten Cai Qiang's number last time, and now was the time to put him to work.
So, Liu Ergou dialed Cai Qiang's number, and the call connected quickly. A familiar, effeminate voice came through the phone.
"Who is this?"
Hearing this voice, Liu Ergou's face twitched involuntarily. It's been a while, he mused, but how did Cai Qiang's voice get even more effeminate? I checked him last time, and there was nothing wrong with him. This was something Liu Ergou couldn't figure out.
But now wasn't the time to worry about that. With that thought, Liu Ergou got down to business.
"Cai Qiang, call San Ye right now. Tell him Liu Ergou needs his help. Then, you bring your men over, too. The faster, the better!"
Cai Qiang didn't dare to dally. He agreed immediately and hung up.
Liu Ergou put his phone away and began to wait. Seeing this, Boss Zhao snorted in disdain. In his view, Liu Ergou was merely bluffing. He had never heard the name Cai Qiang before; it probably belonged to some small-time punk from an unknown corner. Useless against the Sixth Master.
Fifteen minutes passed in a flash. Just then, the low rumble of an engine sounded as a Mercedes approached from a distance, quickly pulling up in front of them.
The Mercedes came to a sudden stop with a screech of brakes. The car door opened, and a man with a fierce look and a face covered in scars got out. He seemed to be in his thirties. Liu Ergou said nothing as he watched the man. Upon exiting the car, the man walked straight up to Boss Zhao.
"Little Zhao, why did you summon me?" he asked in a cold voice. "You know I'm a very busy man!"
The once-fearsome Boss Zhao instantly became as meek and docile as a kitten.
"Sixth Master, I called you here for a serious matter, of course!"
The next second, Boss Zhao gestured toward Liu Ergou, who stood opposite him, and whispered to the man, "Sixth Master, he's the one. He said..."
Before Boss Zhao could finish, the Sixth Master slapped him across the face.
"Damn it, Zhao, are you out of your mind? You called me over for a mere kid? Do you have any idea how precious my time is?"
After being slapped, Boss Zhao didn't dare say another word and could only bow his head and apologize. Seeing Boss Zhao's demeanor, the Sixth Master couldn't be bothered with him. He just snorted coldly and walked briskly over to Liu Ergou. He stared at Liu Ergou, observing him carefully for a good while.
Then he finally spoke, "I heard from Little Zhao that you have a problem with me?"
The voice snapped Liu Ergou out of his thoughts. "Hm? You're the Sixth Master that fatty was talking about?"
The Sixth Master nodded, but just as he was about to speak, Liu Ergou interrupted him.
"Don't speak yet. The person I called is about to arrive. You two can get acquainted then. I'm quite curious to see which of you is tougher!"
After saying this, Liu Ergou fell silent again.
These words left the Sixth Master at a loss. After thinking for a moment, he finally realized Liu Ergou was treating him as a source of amusement. Just as he was about to erupt in anger, a Land Rover and a BMW came speeding toward them. They arrived in the blink of an eye, forcing the Sixth Master to swallow his angry words.
Once the BMW and Land Rover stopped, two figures got out.
Seeing them, Liu Ergou's eyes lit up. He quickly raised his hand in greeting.
"San Ye, long time no see!"
The figure who emerged from the Land Rover paused when he heard Liu Ergou's voice, then instinctively replied, "It's been a long time, Divine Doctor!"
He then turned to the figure who had exited the BMW, his face a mask of surprise. "Cai Qiang, you little rascal, you weren't lying! It really is the Divine Doctor looking for me! I thought..."
A cold snort was his only answer.
When the Sixth Master saw these two figures, a cold sweat instantly beaded on his forehead. What's going on? How did they get San Ye here? One San Ye is one thing, but they brought Cai Qiang, too? They've just summoned the two biggest local bosses in town!
Before the Sixth Master could react, San Ye had already hurried to Liu Ergou's side and grabbed his hand.
"Divine Doctor, we finally meet again! After we parted, I was worried you had forgotten about me!" he said gratefully. "Ah, Divine Doctor, let me tell you! After we parted ways, I went back to the hospital for a check-up. It turns out all the cancer cells in my body are completely gone! I was a bit weak for a while, but after a few days of rest, I've mostly recovered."
"I wanted to thank you, but I couldn't find you. Thankfully, that guy Cai Qiang called me today. At first, I didn't even believe him!"
In contrast to San Ye's enthusiasm, Cai Qiang said nothing. He simply moved to stand silently behind Liu Ergou, like a statue.
Liu Ergou exchanged a few pleasantries with the enthusiastic San Ye. Then, without a moment's hesitation, he got straight to the point.
