163 The Unlicensed Hotel and the Fair, Rich and Beautiful Girl (2/2)
Mo Wen had not chosen to take an airplane over, because secretly, he did not like the feeling of flying, where his personal safety was out of his control. To him, traveling by car was quite a lot more reliable than traveling by airplane.
After boarding the long-distance bus, Mo Wen found his seat and sat down. He took out a sun hat from his backpack and covered it atop his head, before falling into a deep sleep.
By the time he had woken up, the bus was already on the way, and had appeared to have already travelled quite a distance. The bus was full of passengers and there were no more empty seats.
Mo Wen noticed that there was someone seated next to him. It was a young woman probably in her early twenties. Her appearance was not bad, as she was very pretty. She had dressed very fashionably and her skin was soft and delicate. Her hands were smooth, so she was likely a young lady of a rich household. In simpler words, she was a fair, rich, and beautiful girl (FRB).
That FRB had seemingly also noticed Mo Wen waking up. Seeing that he had looked over, she politely smiled at him, which revealed two small dimples.
Mo Wen raised his eyebrows but did not continue paying any attention to this beautiful lady. He lowered his sun hat and continued to sleep.
That FRB was stunned. She had never seen such a rude person before.
She also did not pay any heed to Mo Wen anymore. Reaching for her MP3, she stuffed the earphones into her ears to listen to her music.
The time passed very fast, and before long, the sky was gradually getting dark. Half a day had passed. Travelling from the capital to Baishan City by bus required at least 20 hours. Along the way, they also had to settle the meals of the passengers.
That night, the bus drove to a hotel in the wilderness. Other than the bus Mo Wen was riding, there were many long-distance buses of the all shapes and sizes outside the hotel. They had all chosen to take a break at this hotel.
”Time to eat,” the two drivers in front cried out, before opening the doors of the bus and getting off.
The passengers on the bus had all streamed down the bus. Only a few of the passengers who were not intending to have their meal in the hotel had remained in the bus.
Mo Wen looked at the hotel and rolled his eyes, before shutting them. How could this be called a hotel? It was a mess, and the environment was bad. It did not even look appetizing at a glance. He could not understand why the business was so good. Were there just no other hotels in the area?
With Mo Wen's current skills, he could go without food for a week, much less a day, without having much effect on his body. Although it was not too the extent of being able to fast for long periods, he was not like the average person who could not skip a single of the three meals per day.
The FRB beside him had also not gotten down the bus. She reached for a bread from inside her bag and started to chew on it with small bites.
Just as Mo Wen was prepared to continue sleeping for a bit more to await the next time the bus would continue on its way, three or four hefty men came up the bus and said along the way, ”All of you, get down and eat. What are you doing sitting on the bus? If you don't want to eat, do you want to starve to death? If you want to starve to death I can help you save the trouble and just kill you.”
A hefty man baring his upper arms who was tall, strong and muscular with savage tattoos on his body was in the front. Behind him, there were several people whose expressions had ill intents following. They had iron poles in their hands and along the way, they were chasing the people who were still sitting to get down the bus.
Those few people were fierce. Their expressions were savage and they even had such destructive weapons in their hands. A wave of panic had instantly been incited amongst the passengers remaining in the bus. None of them had dared to go against them and they got down the bus in a well-behaved and cautious manner.
”All of you, go down and have your meals. Those who are not eating will make us, the people of the Black Dog Hotel unhappy. When we are unhappy, we will end up doing some very extreme things.”
A hefty man knocked the iron pole onto the seat, causing a ringing sound that scared most of the people on board.
The passengers all understood at once that they had come across an unlicensed hotel. They had long heard of the fact that there were many unlicensed hotels along the way that forced their way with customers in buying and selling their goods. They were unreasonable and would often force travelers to spend.
Some drivers with no conscience would collaborate with these unlicensed hotels and purposely drive into the territory of these hotels. Once they arrived at the area, there would be no housing or shops in the near area and it could be said that there was no one around to respond even if one called for help. Hence, the powerless travelers could only helplessly listen to the tyrannical local bullies.
Such happenings had only been stories heard of by travelers who did not really travel long distance. Yet, they had surprisingly come across it in real life at this moment.
The passengers that were remaining in the bus got off hastily. They knew that it was impossible to be taken advantage of for a meal. They knew without a doubt that the items in the hotel would be frighteningly expensive.
The few fierce hefty men continued making their way in and chasing the passengers. Very soon, they had arrived before Mo Wen. They found that Mo Wen was sleeping an, and immediately, their face turned black.
”Still sleeping? Hurry and get off now – do you not want to live?”
The hefty man at the front glared and fiercely kicked a foot towards Mo Wen. However, his foot did not manage to kick him. Mo Wen's leg had moved a whole inch without him noticing and in the end, he had kicked the steel frame below the seat instead. As he had used too much strength, there was so much pain that he almost screamed out loud.
”F*ck, you still dare to evade?”
That hefty man let out a cold breath and bent over with one hand supporting his leg as he glared fiercely at Mo Wen.
Mo Wen reached out his hand to take off the sun hat, revealing his delicate and refined face. He looked at the hefty man dully and was just prepared to say something when there was an angry voice erupting from beside him.
”Are you guys going to be reasonable or not? Forceful buying and selling is against the law.”
The FRB seated beside Mo Wen could not take it anymore. She stuffed the half-eaten bread into her bag and glared at the hefty men who were throwing their weight around.
”Against the law? Hehe, let me tell you. We are now the law of this land, whatever we say is the law.”
The hefty man was also stunned for a moment that someone had actually dared to challenge him. Looking at the beautiful girl beside Mo Wen, his eyes lit up, and a perverted look flashed through his eyes.
”Then, are you being reasonable?”
That FRB was angered to the point of smiling. She coldly looked at those hefty men and had an unspeakable sort of power.
”Aiyo little girl, so what if we are being unreasonable? Hurry and get off the bus. If not, there will be consequences.”
That fierce hefty man let out a cold grunt and looked at the FRB darkly. In his mind, he was considering how to get this big beauty into his grasp.
”Normally, I will also not be reasonable to people who are unreasonable.”
The FRB raised her eyebrows and she suddenly exuded a lot of power. Coldly, she said, ”Beat them up cruelly, this bunch of scums.”
