NOVEL NEXT Chapter 264 Forgiveness: Display
As soon as he finished speaking, Wen Qiang couldn't help but stand up and kick him again!
"Scarface, you're so tough now, aren't you? Haven't I emphasized to you time and again that times have changed? Don't resort to violence at every turn. If you can make money civilly, then don't start fights. Obey the law, obey the law, do you not understand? If you want to fucking die, don't drag This Master down with you!"
"Brother Qiang, Brother Qiang, I was wrong! I was wrong, I know I made a mistake!"
Wen Qiang took a deep breath and said with a frown, "The most important thing right now is to go and apologize to Mister Xia. Fortunately, you didn't actually manage to hurt him. Otherwise, not even the gods themselves could save you!"
He continued, "Didn't you already investigate where Mister Xia is? Hurry up and go apologize. I'll go with you. And bring those two clowns of yours along! Whichever hand they raised against Mister Xia, break it before you bring them over!"
"Yes, yes, Brother Qiang! I'll get ready right away! Ah Bao, go get them for me and do as Brother Qiang said!"
"Yes, Scar Brother!"
「Meanwhile.」
Early in the morning, Xia Liang had already gotten out of bed, dressed, and eaten breakfast. He was preparing to go out for his daily Didi driving shift.
He took the elevator down to the ground floor. Just as the doors opened, he saw four men standing there. Of the two in front, one was in a sharp suit with gold-rimmed glasses, while the other had a long scar across his face, giving him a rather vicious look.
Except for one unfamiliar face, Xia Liang recognized the others at a glance: Wen Qiang and the two tattooed men from the previous night.
Before Xia Liang could say a word, Scarface saw him and, without any hesitation, dropped to his knees with a thud.
Stunned, Xia Liang scratched his head. "Hey, what month is it? A little early for New Year's greetings, don't you think? If you're after a red envelope, this is a bit much! This isn't the Lunar New Year! It's not the Ghost Festival, either. And even if you were begging for money during the Ghost Festival, you're supposed to go burn some joss paper by the roadside and ask your ancestors for it, right?"
Hearing this, the kneeling Scarface felt a cold shiver run through his heart.
Mister Xia is so powerful and well-connected; how could he not know why we're here? Are his words… a hint? Does he mean I should pay my final respects to my ancestors before ending my own life, so I can at least meet them with my body intact?
Startled, Scarface hurriedly shouted, "Mister Xia, it was my failure to discipline my men! My two worthless subordinates dared to make a move on you yesterday. I hope you won't hold it against them. I have already broken their hands and brought them here today for you to deal with as you see fit! I beg for your forgiveness, Mister Xia!"
With that, Scarface kowtowed heavily, his forehead striking the floor with three loud thuds.
At the same time, Wen Qiang, who was standing to the side, also bowed deeply and said in a low voice, "Boss, my subordinates were ignorant and offended you. As soon as I found out, I rushed them over to apologize."
Xia Liang raised an eyebrow. So these two are the lackeys of Wen Qiang's lackeys. They must be worried I'll hold a grudge, so they came to apologize personally.
To be honest, Xia Liang hadn't given the matter a second thought. The two tattooed men had harassed his passenger, and he had beaten them up. As far as he was concerned, the matter was closed. Moreover, now that they had come to apologize with such sincerity, Xia Liang saw no reason to pursue it further. He waved his hand dismissively.
"Alright, alright, it's a trivial matter. Don't block the entrance. Let those two go back and see if their hands can be reattached. Let's leave it at that. Don't delay my Didi driving."
With that, Xia Liang walked out of the elevator on his own and headed toward the complex exit.
Driving for Didi? Scarface thought, puzzled, even as he breathed a sigh of relief. He couldn't understand. Why would the esteemed boss of Splendor be out driving for Didi? His confusion lasted only until he saw the Lamborghini Poison. Driving a Lamborghini Poison for Didi... Scarface's face twitched.
...
However, what he didn't know was that Xia Liang had no intention of driving the Lamborghini. The car was far too conspicuous. His goal wasn't to pick up girls but to complete hidden missions. What if a ride request came from two people? The Lamborghini could only fit one passenger, and he couldn't risk missing a hidden mission because of it.
Returning to his villa, Xia Liang relaxed for a moment before getting into his BMW A8. He updated his vehicle information in the app and started accepting orders.
He completed several trips without encountering any hidden missions and was starting to feel a little bored.
Just then, a notification popped up.
"Urgent order! Destination Qingyun City Airport, estimated distance 19 kilometers!"
Xia Liang glanced at the details. The pickup location was nearby, and his interest was immediately piqued. Urgent... does that mean it's a hidden mission? At the thought, his eyes lit up, and he accepted the order without a second's hesitation.
As soon as he took the order, his phone rang. Seeing it was a call from the passenger, Xia Liang answered while starting the car.
"Hello, I'm very close to you. I should arrive in about two minutes!" Xia Liang said before the passenger could speak. He had to; it was part of the ride-hailing company's rules to call and confirm.
But the passenger on the other end sounded extremely anxious. "Okay, driver, but can you please hurry? I'm in a real rush! If I miss this flight, it's going to be a disaster!"
Xia Liang's brow furrowed. It was the middle of the evening rush hour. The first half of the trip to the airport was bound to be terribly congested. And this person was in a hurry?
