Since this was the case, Ling Yun didn’t stand on any ceremony. To be honest, he had not intended to stand on any ceremony from the very beginning.
Ling Yun gave a sidelong glance at Tie Xiaohu who understood immediately, bowed, and took the credit card and keys to the Land Rover from the table.
Dao Yong held his breath with huge beads of perspiration clinging to his forehead. Only when Tie Xiaohu took the credit card and car keys did the tension leave him. He exhaled heavily and wiped his sweat away.
This eighteen-year-old young man is terrifying.
“The pa.s.scode to the credit card is six eights. If you are worried, you can transfer it all out at once through the bank. I have also prepared a gas credit card with a prepaid five hundred thousand balance. It should last for some time…. ”
After seeing that Ling Yun had accepted his money and car, Dao Yong took out the gas credit card that he had prepared prepared in advance.
Tie Xiaohu took the gas credit card without waiting for instructions from Ling Yun this time.
Dao Yong finally relaxed, seeing that Ling Yun had entirely accepted the deal. He examined Ling Yun, seemingly wanted to say something, but stopped. Instead, he stood up suddenly and said, “Brother Ling Yun, your new car is in the garage at the back. Shall we go and see it?”
Ling Yun gave off a nonchalant vibe, but he was actually filled with glee. Even though he knew nothing about cars, he knew that this car that Dao Yong gifted him to save his own life must be valuable.
“Let’s go and see it then.”
The three of them came to the backyard. As Dao Yong opened the garage, Ling Yun laid his eyes upon the white Land Rover.
The Land Rover Vogue V8 hatchback with its 5.0L tank, 375KW engine, manual transmission, 510 horsepower, five doors, and five seats looked n.o.ble and luxurious.
“Even though this car is not as good as Tang Meng’s Hummer, but it shouldn’t be too far off..?” Ling Yun pondered and failed to notice the sparkles in Tie Xiaohu’s eyes from behind him.
Which car-loving enthusiast wouldn’t want to own a Land Rover?
Dao Yong could not help but feel disappointed as he observed Ling Yun’s neutral expression.
He was ignorant to the fact that Ling Yun was a total rookie when it came to cars. In terms of cars, Ling Yun was like a baby who did not even know his ABCs.
Nonetheless, he whispered, “Brother Ling Yun, I will personally arrange for the necessary formalities at my cost. Feel free to drive this car away.”
Ling Yun nodded. “I will arrange for someone to come and finish up the paperwork.”
At the same time, Ling Yun reminded himself that the paperwork for the Maserati from Murong Feixue was still not settled. He would have to find a suitable time to settle it imminently, lest she regret her decision. That would be maddening.
Without a doubt, the best person to handle the paperwork was Tang Meng. He was more suited for this than Tie Xiaohu.
Turning his head towards Tie Xiaohu, Ling Yun said, “Bring the car out first.”
Those words were just what Tie Xiaohu was waiting eagerly for. He grunted and nodded before heading into the garage.
Ling Yun waved to Dao Yong, signaling his intention to return back to the house with him.
No matter what, Ling Yun liked the gestures by Dao Yong. He was satisfied.
After they returned back to the house, Ling Yun did not wait to sit before he faced Dao Yong and held up two fingers, “Two matters.”
“First, drop that wishful thinking of going against me, my family, or my friends. If not, you will die horribly the next time. Second, I do not care where you seek your fortunes, but if you impose too much on the common people, especially my neighbors, rest a.s.sured that I will not go easy on you.”
Frightened, Dao Yong nodded his head furiously as he swept his cold sweat away. “I know, I know!” He said meekly.
Ling Yun straightened his fingers and swiftly tapped at more than a dozen of Dao Yong’s acupuncture points, releasing the seals on him.
“Your nightly pain has been removed. However…” Ling Yun paused.
Dao Yong was just enjoying the sense of lightness in body and spirit, when he heard Ling Yun’s pause. Immediately, his body tensed up again.
Smiling faintly, Ling Yun lightly patted Dao Yong’s shoulder and said, “Don’t be so nervous. I left one last seal on you. It will not cause you any problems in the next two months. I will get Tie Xiaohu to come and totally undo the seal on the eighth of June.”
“You will not bear grudges against me, will you?” joked Ling Yun as he looked at Dao Yong who looked lost.
Dao Yong’s heart suddenly sprang alive, startled. “No! Absolutely not! You have relieved me of my pain of every night. I am more than grateful. How would I dare to bear a grudge against you?”
Ling Yun nodded slightly in agreement. “In that case, I will get going. I will have Tang Meng, another brother of mine, to finish up the paperwork with you tomorrow. I might as well tell you that he is the son of the Deputy Director of Qingshui City’s Public Security Bureau. I am sure you know what to do better than me, don’t you? ”
Scared sh*tless, Dao Yong suddenly thought that the young man in front of him was really profound!
That was the newest model of the Range Rover. The car alone cost 2.7 million. With the peripherals and the gas card, they totaled up to 3.5 million yuan!
If he included the eight million in the credit card, that would amount to more than eleven million yuan. After sloughing for so many years, Dao Yong’s total net worth was only about thirty million, and he just gave more than one third of that to Ling Yun!
Of course it was painful for him, but who asked him to provoke someone like Ling Yun? As long as it satisfied Ling Yun enough for him to release him from his pain, he would gladly admit his defeat.
It had only taken a few days for Tie Xiaohu to join Ling Yun. Who did not know Tie Xiaohu? Tie Xiaohu was the ace fighter for Green Dragon’s Boss, Long Kun! Furthermore, he was training to become Long Kun’s successor!
Dao Yong, famous for being shrewd, know immediately from Tie Xiaohu’s actions that he was working under Ling Yun. If he did not understand that much, he would have lived all these years for nothing!
And now, hearing that the person who would be here tomorrow to complete the formalities was none other than the the son of the Deputy Director of the Qingshui City Public Security Bureau, who would not be shaken?
No matter whether it was Tie Xiaohu or the Deputy Director of Qingshui City’s Public Security Bureau, he would not be able to bear the consequences!
Wouldn’t that mean that Ling Yun had the support of both sides of the law in Qingshui City?
Dao Yong now found it funny that he actually brought over a hundred of his men in an attempt to razor Ling Yun’s place down to the ground! That was so stupid of me!
The scar on Dao Yong’s face s.h.i.+vered in fear from these thoughts before he suddenly realized that Ling Yun had walked out of his house towards the backyard.
Dao Yong’s heart wavered as he hastily ran after Ling Yun. “Erm.. Brother Ling Yun, if it is convenient for you, could I have your contact information please…”
If he could not get Ling Yun’s contact information after spending more than ten million yuan, then he would be really, really worthless.
Ling Yun smiled thinly. “Give your contact info to him.” Ling Yun commanded Tie Xiaohu as he poked his head out of the Land Rover.
To be honest, Dao Yong was not at the level to get his contact information yet.
The Land Rover roared crisply as its engine revved. The sound was very pleasant to Ling Yun’s ears from the pa.s.senger seat.
Tie Xiaohu left his own contact info for Dao Yong as commanded by Ling Yun, waved, and drove out immediately.
Dao Yong sent Ling Yun and Tie Xiaohu off with a smile. It was not until the white Land Rover turned and disappeared down Linjiang Road that the smile on his face slowly disappeared. His back was soaked from his cold sweat.
He ordered Zhan Long and Zhan Hu into his house while cruelly splas.h.i.+ng cold water onto his face to calm himself down. He warned them, “Carve this into your minds. When you go out, you must make sure not to cross paths and not offend anyone related to Ling Yun!”
“Brother Dao, who was the big guy that came with Ling Yun? Is he that scary?” Zhan Hu and Zhan Long asked at the same time.
“Green Dragon’s Tie Xiaohu!” Both corners of Dao Yong’s mouth twitched violently.
He turned his sight to the backyard, fancifully imagining that his brand new Land Rover was still in the garage. “We have offended someone that we should never have offended. We deserved this. There are serious changes looming in Qingshui City!”
Zhan Long and Zhan Hu looked at each other, uncertain of what to think or do.
What was certain was the feeling of retreat from Dao Yong’s demeanor.
…
The Land Rover had been travelling on the road for two kilometers.
“Teach me how to drive…” Ling Yun had been staring intently at how Tie Xiaohu drove. He was filled with annoyance from his memories of pus.h.i.+ng the Maserati along the road like a madman.
Tie Xiaohu obliged Ling Yun’s request willingly and started imparting his experience to him. Since the better cars were easier to drive, after Tie Xiaohu’s explanations, Ling Yun felt that driving was really not all that difficult.
He had secretly been observing Tang Meng driving for quite some time. Now that he had Tie Xiaohu beside him in his brand new car, Ling Yun was dying to drive it himself.
“Let’s change our seats. I’ll drive!” Ling Yun exclaimed courageously.
“Big Brother Yun, you don’t have a driving license…” Tie Xiaohu sighed. If Ling Yun drove into an electric pole or hit another car, he would feel even more heartbroken than Ling Yun!
“To h.e.l.l with a driving license. I don’t see anyone asking you lot for it… Stop the car!”
They swapped positions, and now Ling Yun was behind the steering wheel for the second time in his entire life.
This time, he was determined to learn the art of driving. He requested Tie Xiaohu to stop the engine and let him start from the very beginning.
He finally solved the mystery of why he could not drive the Maserati the other day — he forgot to start the engine!
With only a single demonstration and explanation from Tie Xiaohu, Ling Yun was able to pick up this skill. Ling Yun started the Land Rover and began to move forward slowly.
“Like this?” Ling Yun asked a stunned Tie Xiaohu.
“Yes!” Tie Xiaohu could only nod his head, thinking to himself that Ling Yun was just too unbelievable! He’s already grasped this skill?
“So easy!? In that case, let’s have some more fun!” Ling Yun smirked and pressed hard on the accelerator.
“Vroooom!” The white Land Rover sliced through the air like an arrow leaving its bow!
“Boss, please slow down a bit. The car still needs to warm up properly…” Distressed, Tie Xiaohu even forgot to address Ling Yun as “Big Brother Yun”.
“Let me have a good time first. I will let you warm up the car properly after…
