Chapter 1112 — Er Goudan Punches Out Master Li, Part One
The Blossom Guardian · Page 1 of 2
But even if you are kindhearted, when it comes to something that is none of your concern, you should keep your mouth shut. Spouting all that nonsense — isn't that just making more trouble? So Yu Yuanyuan, in a fit of pique, handed Er Goudan one of Master Li's business cards, on which was written the address of the underground boxing arena.
Master Li had left that card when he came calling the day before. His visit had been nothing more than a precaution against Yu Yuanyuan trying to run — to see what she was up to and remind her not to forget their agreement.
Er Goudan took the card without another word, stuffed the last chicken leg on the table into his mouth, and turned and walked out of the burger shop.
"Hey, what are you going off to do?" Yu Yuanyuan was startled. From the look of him, Er Goudan really seemed about to go settle accounts with that Master Li, and she panicked at once. What she had said before was nothing but angry words — she had only felt that Er Goudan could stand there talking without his back aching, and so she had talked back a little. Who could have imagined he would actually take it seriously?
Had it been anyone else walking out that door, Yu Yuanyuan might not have thought much of it — plenty of people just put on a show and use the chance to slip away. Once out the door, who knew what they were up to? But Er Goudan was different. From the earlier business of kindly paying someone's medical fees, it was plain that Er Goudan was a warmhearted man. Yu Yuanyuan truly feared he had gone to settle accounts with Master Li.
Yu Yuanyuan felt she was already unlucky enough. If this business dragged Er Goudan into it for no reason at all, her conscience would torment her — that was the last thing she wanted to see. So without thinking, she chased out the door, wanting to call Er Goudan back. But outside the door, where was there any sign of him?
"Ai, why is this man so warmhearted?" Yu Yuanyuan stamped her foot, frantic, yet utterly helpless.
"Yuanyuan, we had better hurry after him and take a look. The young fellow may be a bit simple, but he is warmhearted. We mustn't let him get dragged into this because of us!" Yunhai Shuku might be timid and afraid of trouble, but he was a good man who understood what was right. He did not want Er Goudan to come to any harm over their family's affairs. This matter had nothing to do with the man — why bring trouble down on him?
"En!" Yu Yuanyuan was frantic too. Hearing her father's words, she paid no more mind to the burger shop's business. She hastily locked up the shop, and she and her father flagged down a taxi and rushed off toward the underground boxing arena.
But Yu Yuanyuan had already lost a beat in locking up the shop, and how could a taxi outrun Er Goudan? Cars in the city were bound by speed limits, but a man was not. On the mountain, Er Goudan could run down even wild beasts. So it was fated that Er Goudan would reach the underground boxing arena first.
The address on the card was very detailed. Er Goudan casually asked a passerby which direction the address lay in, then dashed off toward the underground boxing arena.
The underground boxing arena was a converted abandoned factory, but at this moment it was ablaze with lights. At the entrance to the abandoned factory, two burly men stood guard, walkie-talkies in hand — clearly they were on watch.
Er Goudan walked over and was stopped by the two men.
"Who are you? What's your business here?" one of the guards asked, eyeing Er Goudan.
The fights had already begun, and Er Goudan showing up at the arena at this hour naturally roused the two men's suspicions.
"Out of my way, I'm looking for someone." How could Er Goudan put those two burly men in his eyes? For all their size, they were only good for frightening ordinary folk. In Er Goudan's eyes, wild boars and black bears were nothing worth fearing.
