Who wants to become a god? Aren't you all forcing me?

The driver was the same middle-aged man. He steadily parked the car by the roadside, lowered the window, and waved at Li Chenqiu.

"Alright, no need to see me off."

Li Chenqiu walked towards the taxi, waved his hand at Ma Mian with his back turned, then got into the taxi and left.

"Bastard, what do you think you are!"

Veins popped out on Ma Mian's neck, and with a "bang," he smashed a shallow pit in the wall.

"What words have made you lose sight of what's important?"

At this moment, a low and deep voice came from the stairwell.

Ma Mian turned his head in a panic and saw a pair of shiny leather shoes stepping out from the corner of the stairwell, followed by Yan Luowang's cold face appearing before his eyes.

"L-Lord, I was impulsive," Ma Mian said hurriedly, lowering his head and trembling.

Yan Luowang walked up to Ma Mian and looked at him with cold eyes.

Ma Mian raised his head, wanting to explain something, when suddenly a terrifying, mountain-like pressure descended on his shoulders.

Bang!

In an instant, dust rose around Yan Luowang's feet, and Ma Mian stuck tightly to the ground like a pile of mud, with bright red blood overflowing from his eyes, and the sound of bones cracking like firecrackers.

Seeing this, Niu Tou hurriedly advised, "My Lord, Ma Mian was just acting on impulse. I will definitely not let him do it again in the future. Please give him a chance!"

"It is precisely because I am giving him a chance that he is still alive and lying at my feet now."

Yan Luowang glanced at Ma Mian indifferently, and with a thought, he withdrew his power.

"Thank you, my Lord," Niu Tou said gratefully, carefully helping Ma Mian, who was lying on the ground, up.

Ma Mian's chest rose and fell continuously, and he tremblingly raised his hand to rub his eyes. After a few seconds of recovery, he said in a low voice, "Thank... Thank you, my Lord."

"Everyone in the Underworld respects the divine name, and offending superiors is a great taboo. If there is a next time, I will not give you a chance to live, understand?" Yan Luowang said in a deep voice.

Ma Mian nodded, hunched over, supported by Niu Tou.

Yan Luowang reached out and patted Ma Mian's shoulder, and was about to leave when he suddenly stopped and turned his head to ask Ma Mian, "What did Chujiang Wang say to you just now?"

Ma Mian raised his head and replied weakly, "I offended Chujiang Wang in the Underworld before, so I wanted to apologize to him just now, and then Chujiang Wang asked me for money."

Yan Luowang raised an eyebrow: "Didn't you say you have nothing but money? Isn't this exactly what you wanted?"

"But... But Chujiang Wang wanted too much. He asked me for 500 million Federal Coins. How could I possibly come up with that..." Ma Mian's voice became smaller and smaller, and his face became paler and paler.

"Five hundred million?" Niu Tou widened his eyes: "Chujiang Wang personally said he wanted 500 million?"

Ma Mian looked aggrieved and said pitifully to Niu Tou:

"Yes, he told me personally. I said I would give him 50 million, but he said I thought he was cheap to give him so little, and told me to add a zero after the 50 million, and also asked me to give him cash. Isn't this bullying an honest person?"

Speaking of this, Ma Mian looked regretful: "If I had known, I wouldn't have mentioned this matter. Now that I've mentioned it, but I'm not giving him money, even if there wasn't a grudge, now there is."

If Li Chenqiu were here, he would definitely be stunned by Ma Mian's words.

When did he ever mention the word 500 million? Isn't 5,000 yuan plus a zero 50,000 Federal Coins?

"My Lord, what do you think I should do? I can't even scrape together 500 million even if I sell myself!" Ma Mian looked at Yan Luowang helplessly.

"Chujiang Wang's potential is much greater than you think. You decide what to do yourself."

After speaking, Yan Luowang walked away without looking back.

Seeing this, Niu Tou patted Ma Mian's shoulder and trotted to Yan Luowang's side, leaving Ma Mian sitting alone on the ground.

...

...

On the sparse and empty highway, the taxi carrying Li Chenqiu was driving slowly.

The air conditioner was on in the car, and the atmosphere was a little depressing.

Li Chenqiu glanced out the window: "Stop by the roadside!"

"You want to get out here?" The middle-aged driver glanced at Li Chenqiu in surprise, while taking his foot off the accelerator, gently tapping the brake, and steadily stopping the taxi by the side of the road.

"Yeah, thank you," Li Chenqiu responded, then pushed the door open and got out of the taxi.

"It's nothing, it's nothing." The middle-aged driver waved his hand and tentatively asked, "Then I'll go first."

"Go ahead," Li Chenqiu nodded.

Hearing this, the middle-aged driver smiled in relief, exchanged a few pleasantries, and then stepped on the gas pedal and left, as if he didn't want to stay with Li Chenqiu for even a moment.

Li Chenqiu took out a medical blue mask from his pocket and put it on his face, then took out his phone and dialed Li Qingxia's number.

Beep... Beep... Beep... Beep!

"Hello, Xiao Qiuzi," Li Qingxia's voice came from the other end of the phone.

Li Chenqiu asked, "Where are you and the boss? I'll come find you."

"Huh?" Li Qingxia was slightly stunned: "Didn't you say you were going to deal with Gong Ran's family and told us not to contact you recently?"

"Plans can't keep up with changes. I think it's better to be low-key. Where are you?"

"The place where the boss and I are staying is a bit difficult to find. Tell me your location, and I'll pick you up."

"Okay, send me the location later. I'm wearing a blue mask and black clothes. You'll be able to see me at a glance. Be careful on the road and don't let those reporters find you," Li Chenqiu instructed.

Li Qingxia smiled confidently: "Don't worry, your second brother does things with two words, steady!"

After speaking, the phone hung up with a "beep" sound.

Li Chenqiu put his phone in his pocket, leaned casually against the road sign, and muttered to himself, stroking his chin: "50,000 Federal Coins isn't much, right? Why does that guy seem so distressed? Did I overestimate his financial resources?"

The high temperature brought by noon gradually decreased, and half an hour passed.

Li Chenqiu, who was leaning against the road sign, twitched his ears and turned his head to look in a certain direction.

Due to the terrain, this highway undulates like a curve, and Li Chenqiu can only see a few hundred meters away at a glance.

"Strange," A trace of doubt flashed between Li Chenqiu's eyebrows, and he walked forward along the highway.

Just now, his ears caught the sound of vehicles driving on the highway, not one car, but many cars.

This aroused Li Chenqiu's vigilance. How could so many cars drive through such a desolate highway at once?

As Li Chenqiu's position became higher and higher, his vision also became wider and wider, and the undulating highway could no longer block his sight.

On the wide highway, cars were driving one after another unhurriedly, the speed was as slow as walking a dog.

A hundred meters away, a city's shared electric bike was advancing alone.

The young man riding the electric bike was sweating profusely, looking flustered, and looking back from time to time. Obviously, he was the one being walked.

Li Chenqiu's face darkened when he saw the young man behind him. He was too familiar with this person. Wasn't he the steady brother Li Qingxia?
