Chapter 1030 - Accidents On The Way Back (2/2)

After half an hour, the taxi passed downtown. Just as it was crossing the flyover and coming down, there was congestion in the road ahead.

“Why is Qingfeng Road blocked again? Is there a traffic accident in front?” the taxi driver used the intercom and asked. He quickly got the answers he wanted.

“It’s because of a traffic accident. And lemme tell you, the scene is straight out of a blockbuster! Some cars were in hot pursuit and the number of victims is probably more than 10 people. It’s been a long time since such a big mess that happened in Beijing. You’re unlucky, Brother. You gotta pray for more blessings and good luck if you’re stuck in Qingfeng Road. I’m afraid you’re gonna be stuck for a few more hours.”

“Who the hell is so bold to make such a big ruckus in the capital?!” asked the cab driver hurriedly. “With so many people dying at the holy ground of the emperor, are they not afraid of getting bad luck?”

“I don’t know anything more, sorry.”

“Got it, thanks!”

As the conversation ended, the cab driver looked at Tang Xiu. Then, he forced a smile and said, “Well, it seems like we’re stuck here until morning, Little Brother. It’s impossible to turn around now either. If you’re in a hurry, you can get off now and take the subway there, though.”

Tang Xiu thought for a moment and then took out 200 yuan from his pocket and handed it over to the cab driver, saying, “Then we’re getting off here, Uncle! Take the money and keep the change.”

The cab driver didn’t expect Tang Xiu to be so generous and said quickly, “It’s too much, Little Brother. I can’t accept it.”

Tang Xiu pushed the door open and just waved with a smile. He then led Tang 28’s group of five to the roadside and then walked along the road. Back when the cab driver used the intercom to ask about the accident, he was also very curious as to who could be so bold to make such a big mess in downtown capital.

Ten minutes later, Tang Xiu and the rest appeared near the accident site—a wide intersection that now looked so chaotic with more than a dozen cars crashed. A lot of rescuers could be seen everywhere treating the wounded or lifting the dead bodies from the cars, causing him to furrow his brows slightly.

“What exactly happened here, Big Brother?”

Tang Xiu approached a middle-aged man who kept sighing and asked him after offering a cigarette.

“It’s because of those evil guys!” The middle-aged man forced a smile and explained, “Some people unknowingly offended the Second Young Master Fan. That fella brought many men with a dozen cars to chase and kill them and eventually led to these series of accidents. Alas, three of them died here and the remaining ones are injured and escaped. Yet that Second Young Master Fan didn’t let them go and led many men to pursue them, abandoning those who got implicated in a car accident.”

“Who is this Second Young Master Fan?” asked Tang Xiu, frowning.

The middle-aged man glanced at Tang Xiu and asked, “Judging from your accent and that you don’t know Second Young Master Fan, you’re not local, are you, Little Brother?”

“I really don’t know him. I’m from Star City and just came to Beijing today.” Tang Xiu shook his head.

“I see. It’s no wonder, then.” The middle-aged man nodded and explained, “Second Young Master Fan is the son of the Fan House’s Patriarch. Although no one from this family goes into politics, it’s a very famous wealthy family nonetheless. Do you know the Skypigeon Group listed in the Top 500 companies in the world? That’s the Fan Family’s company. This family had a good reputation in Beijing prior to this incident, and now that its Second Young Master caused so much a mess, I’m afraid their reputation is pretty much notorious now. Bah, if I were to have a son like him, I’d definitely break his legs and chain him at home, lest he go outside to court calamity and causes troubles.”

Tang Xiu nodded in response and asked curiously, “Where are they heading now?”

“How would I know? A group of men in hot pursuit and the other one running like hell,” said the middle-aged man. “Who knows where are they going?”

“You don’t even know which direction they are heading to?” asked Tang Xiu again.

The middle-aged man pointed to the northeast direction and said, “I know that. They’re heading there. You can’t be thinking of joining in the fray, can you, Little Brother? Don’t get yourself involved, lest you get burned! You’d better put your curiosity away.”

“Roger that and thanks a bunch, Big Brother.” Tang Xiu smiled.

Immediately after, Tang Xiu led Tang 28’s group of five and quickly rushed to the northeast. He wouldn’t have bothered to get involved in this matter if he didn’t happen to bump into this accident. But now that it happened before him, he might as well figure out what happened. He had heard of the Fan Family but hadn’t had any contact with them yet, although one of his friends, Qin Shaoyang, had.

From what he learned from Qin Shaoyang, the First Young Master of the Fan Family was his sworn brother and he intended to introduce him to Tang Xiu before. The most important thing was that the Qin Shaoyang also had a business partnership with the Fan Family that it would affect the former if an accident happened to the later.

“Hello, Shaoyang. Have you heard that the second son of the Fan Family just made a big mess?” Tang Xiu dialed Qin Shaoyang’s phone as he headed northwest.

“I heard the news about that ten minutes ago,” replied Qin Shaoyang hurriedly. “This damn Second Fan is really outrageous. He just caused such a big shit this time. I’m afraid he’ll implicate the entire Fan Family and lead them to the abyss. I’m at home now and talking to my old man about the business we have with the Fans. Alas, it seems like my family will get burnt one way or the other regardless.”
