To make travel and returns to the East Sea convenient, Long Xiao decided to buy a car first.
Upon hearing that Long Xiao and the others were going out to buy a car, Luan Ji Mei volunteered to be their guide.
"Brother-in-law, I'll take you. We're sure to buy the best car," Luan Ji Mei assured Long Xiao.
Luan Ji Ping told Long Xiao that her sister, Luan Ji Mei, had loved cars since she was a child. Her room was once plastered with pictures of sports cars, and she would skip school to attend car shows in the capital whenever one was held.
With a guide, buying a suitable car became much easier.
Early in the morning, Luan Ji Mei drove and picked up the three of them, preparing to head to the dealership. Shortly after leaving the Luan residence, Long Xiao and Luo Tian Shui noticed they were being followed again.
"Brother Long, someone is following us again," Luo Tian Shui said, looking back from the passenger seat.
Luan Ji Ping glanced back and said, "Brother, it seems we're in big trouble."
"What trouble?" Long Xiao asked, confused.
"Someone wants your 'Longevity Pill'."
Long Xiao chuckled and said, "That's a good thing. Your grandfather's birthday is in two days. The more people want to snatch this 'Longevity Pill', the more valuable it is."
"The capital is full of hidden talents, and I'm worried you might be in danger."
Long Xiao looked at Luan Ji Ping and said, "Don't worry, sister. With Tian Shui here, I won't be in any danger."
Luan Ji Ping now regretted not bringing Elder Xiao and his assistant, Qian Yun, when they left the East Sea. Both of them were skilled fighters and could have protected Long Xiao.
The West Suburb Car City was vast, with hundreds of car dealerships and all sorts of models. Luan Ji Mei parked the car directly in front of the Rolls-Royce dealership. She suggested to Long Xiao that he should buy a Phantom.
As they entered the dealership, the salespeople looked at them with disdain.
"Little girl, if you can't afford it, don't come here to browse," one salesperson sneered.
"You're the little girl, and your whole family are little girls. Who says I can't afford it? I'll take a car right now."
Luan Ji Ping's words made the salespeople burst into laughter. In their eyes, this young girl who often came to look at cars was just dreaming.
Long Xiao noticed that Luan Ji Mei's eyes had been fixed on a custom Phantom in the center of the showroom since they entered.
"Ji Mei, did you have this car in mind for a long time?" Long Xiao asked.
Luan Ji Mei nodded. "Yes. I've been here more than ten times, and they always looked down on me, saying I had no money, and wouldn't even introduce me to anything."
Long Xiao waved to a salesperson and said, "Come here for a moment."
The salespeople exchanged glances; none of them moved. They looked at Long Xiao with amused smiles.
Just as Long Xiao was about to get angry, a pure-looking girl walked over from the back.
"Sir, are you here to look at cars?"
Long Xiao nodded. The girl said, "What price range are you interested in? I can introduce you."
Long Xiao pointed to the custom Phantom in the center of the showroom and said, "Please introduce me to this car."
"Sir, you have excellent taste. This custom Phantom's power..."
As the girl was introducing the car to Long Xiao, a middle-aged man with four bald men entered the showroom and walked directly towards Long Xiao and his group.
"You're Long Xiao, aren't you?" the middle-aged man interrupted the salesgirl's introduction and asked.
Long Xiao looked at the middle-aged man, whom he didn't recognize, and said, "I don't think we know each other. Do you need something from me?"
"Our young master wants to see you. Come with us immediately."
The middle-aged man spoke arrogantly, acting as if Long Xiao were his subordinate.
"I'm sorry, I don't know your young master. If he wants to see me, he can come to me. I have no obligation to meet him."
"Hmph, young man, don't be so arrogant. Come, take him away."
Four burly men surrounded Long Xiao and reached out to grab him.
Luo Tian Shui stepped forward and attacked suddenly. The four burly men were sent flying backward almost simultaneously.
Seeing the four men sprawled on the ground, the middle-aged man's expression changed. He reached into his chest and pulled out a bayonet.
Luo Tian Shui did not draw his sword. As the middle-aged man thrust the bayonet, Luo Tian Shui grabbed his wrist. With a crack, the middle-aged man's wrist was broken.
The bayonet clattered to the floor. Luo Tian Shui kicked the middle-aged man to the ground.
"Go back and tell your young master that if he wants to see me, he can come in person," Long Xiao said coldly.
The middle-aged man got up and said, "Long Xiao, you win this time. Let's go."
The middle-aged man, who was at the peak of the Yellow Realm, had his wrist broken by Luo Tian Shui in one move. Knowing he was no match, he could only leave.
As the middle-aged man and the four burly men reached the showroom entrance, Long Xiao called out, "Take your bayonet with you."
The moment the middle-aged man turned back, Long Xiao kicked the bayonet. The bayonet whistled through the air and flew towards the middle-aged man. It moved too fast for him to dodge.
With a bang, the bayonet pierced the middle-aged man's shoulder.
The intense pain made the middle-aged man's shoulder tremble, and soon blood stained his suit.
The middle-aged man dared not say anything further. Enduring the pain, he led the four burly men away, stumbling.
Long Xiao turned back and said, "Little sister, please continue."
In the showroom, all the salespeople's gazes towards Long Xiao and his group had changed. The disdain and contempt were gone, replaced by fear.
The salesgirl continued to explain the car to Long Xiao and his companions. Long Xiao didn't ask about the price and said, "Alright, this one it is."
"Sir, I haven't told you the price of this car yet."
Long Xiao took out a bank card and threw it to the salesgirl. "No need. I trust you won't cheat me. Please process the payment."
With the money in place, the paperwork and sales contract were completed in no time.
Luan Ji Mei became more excited as she looked at the car. After it was refueled, she eagerly opened the door and got in.
"Brother-in-law, I'll play with this car for a couple of days. I'll return it to you when you go back to the East Sea."
Without waiting for Long Xiao's approval, Luan Ji Mei drove the car out of the showroom.
Luan Ji Ping looked at Long Xiao helplessly and said, "I'm sorry, brother. My sister is like this even at her age, still so impulsive."
Long Xiao chuckled and said, "If you want her to have it, just give it to her. We'll take her car."
Having spent over ninety million yuan, Long Xiao and his companions left the dealership in Luan Ji Mei's BMW.
What frustrated them the most was that shortly after leaving the Rolls-Royce dealership, two Land Rovers, one in front and one behind, blocked them on the road.
The car doors opened, and a small old man in a Tang suit got out first, followed by several bald, burly men.
The old man wore cloth shoes and walked as if he were floating, his shoulders still, as if he were drifting forward.
"More trouble, Brother Long. I'll deal with them."
Long Xiao nodded. "That old man is quite strong. Be careful."
The old man approached Long Xiao's car and said, "Who is Long Xiao? Get out. Mr. Xue wants to buy your pills."
Long Xiao was worried about Luo Tian Shui getting hurt, so Luo Tian Shui also got out of the car and followed.
Seeing Luo Tian Shui get out first, the old man mistook him for Long Xiao.
"Where are the pills? Hand them over." The old man reached out directly to demand the pills from Luo Tian Shui.
Luo Tian Shui threw a punch. The old man shifted his body sideways, dodging Luo Tian Shui's fist.
"How dare you attack! The four of you, give him some exercise," the old man said, gesturing to the four burly men.
