Lin Fan had no idea that countless viewers in the livestream were hoping for a chance encounter.
Especially those living in the nearby cities of Longgu Gorge, who drove over in a rush, just to catch a glimpse of A Bao.
If they could get a photo or even pet A Bao, it would be a huge win!
Driving his pickup truck, Lin Fan descended the mountain and headed towards the nearest county town.
He needed to stock up on some supplies.
As he entered the county town, the sky had already darkened.
A Bao, along with the Monkey King and three golden monkeys, sat obediently in the back of the pickup, peering out with curious expressions at the sights of the county town.
The scene was completely different from the primitive forest, and everything was incredibly novel to them.
Fortunately, Lin Fan had sternly instructed them before setting off.
If not, with the animals' restless nature, they definitely wouldn't stay put in the truck bed.
After quickly purchasing supplies at the nearest supermarket, Lin Fan returned to the truck.
He saw A Bao and the golden monkeys sitting obediently in the truck bed.
He couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.
Thankfully, A Bao and the monkeys were relatively well-behaved.
They needed to leave quickly.
Many people had already noticed A Bao in the back of the truck.
After all, the adorable panda's image was deeply ingrained in people's hearts.
Who could remain calm upon seeing a giant panda?
Not to mention there were four adorable golden monkeys as well!
This combination was simply irresistible!
More and more people gathered around, excitement written all over their faces, with some even pulling out their phones to take pictures.
Some bold individuals even reached out to touch A Bao and the golden monkeys.
Seeing this, Lin Fan quickly started the pickup and drove away.
Once he left that street, Lin Fan finally let out a sigh of relief.
He had to admit that he underestimated the appeal of the giant panda and golden monkeys to the public.
Just stopping for a moment had attracted so many onlookers.
What Lin Fan didn't know was that the viewers in the livestream had been following his every move.
Countless fans of A Bao had already surrounded his location.
Fortunately, he was quick on his feet; otherwise, he definitely wouldn't have been able to escape.
A Bao and the golden monkeys were wild animals, and their nature was untamed.
Plus, it was their first time in the city, so Lin Fan was a bit worried they might cause some trouble.
Thankfully, until he finished shopping, A Bao and the monkeys remained obediently in the truck bed.
Even when surrounded by people, they didn't cause any incidents.
This trip to bring a bunch of big guys down the mountain for supplies was a perfect success!
Lin Fan felt a sense of relief.
However, his moment of relaxation didn't last long before an unexpected incident occurred!
While driving, a figure suddenly darted out from the side of the street.
He instinctively slammed on the brakes!
The pickup came to a sudden stop.
A Bao and the golden monkeys, who had been curiously peering over the edge of the truck bed, tumbled over and rolled around inside.
Before Lin Fan could get out of the car, a young man with dyed yellow hair rushed out from the side of the street.
He banged on the hood of the truck, shouting,
“Get out! Hurry up! You hit someone!”
???
Hit someone?
How could that be possible!
He had just stopped the pickup and hadn't hit anything at all.
Lin Fan, confused, got out of the truck and walked to the front.
There, he saw an elderly man sitting on the ground, shouting, “My bones are broken, you hit me!”
“Pay up! Hurry!”
The young man with yellow hair glared at Lin Fan with an arrogant expression.
Lin Fan was momentarily at a loss for what was happening.
As passersby heard the commotion, they gathered around, and someone whispered,
“What a sin! Old Sun's family is out to scam again!”
“What does it have to do with you!”
The yellow-haired man glared back,
“Is there any reason for hitting someone? Get lost!”
As he spoke, he turned back to Lin Fan and said,
“Hurry up and pay! If you don't pay, don't even think about leaving... What the hell!”
Just as he was shouting, the truck bed suddenly had five heads pop out in unison, one large and four small.
A Bao and the golden monkeys were curiously peering over the edge, looking at him with wide eyes.
Their expressions were incredibly adorable.
Unfortunately, the yellow-haired man didn't find them cute at all; he was startled.
However, when he clearly saw A Bao and the golden monkeys, he immediately became overjoyed.
He never expected to have stumbled upon a truck transporting animals.
Especially pandas and golden monkeys!
This was bound to be a big payday, right?
Thinking of this, the yellow-haired man became even more arrogant.
“Transporting animals? Hurry up and pay, or you'll regret it when the animals run away!”
Lin Fan immediately understood that he had encountered a scam!
This was just the right spot, a blind spot for surveillance, and the pickup didn't have a dashcam; these scammers really knew how to pick their locations.
Lin Fan couldn't help but admire them a bit.
“Call the police!”
Lin Fan decisively took out his phone.
The yellow-haired man panicked at once,
“Call the police? You hit someone and don't want to pay, and you still want to call the police?”
As he spoke, he rushed forward and swung a slap at Lin Fan.
Lin Fan's gaze sharpened, just as he was about to retaliate.
Unexpectedly, a golden figure shot out faster than him, aiming straight for the yellow-haired man's face.
It was the Monkey King, Wukong!
Seeing a bipedal creature trying to hit Lin Fan, it leaped out of the truck bed and swiped a paw at the yellow-haired man's cheek!
“Ouch!”
The yellow-haired man cried out in pain, covering his face and hurriedly stepping back.
The claws of a wild golden monkey were incredibly sharp.
This swipe left several deep scratches on the yellow-haired man's face.
“Zhi zhi...” (Hit it, hit it.)
After giving the yellow-haired man a claw, the Monkey King squatted in front of Lin Fan, baring its teeth.
The three little brothers in the truck bed heard the Monkey King's call and all jumped down, taking up aggressive stances.
Even A Bao clumsily climbed down from the back of the pickup, waving its chubby paws as if ready to fight.
The viewers in the livestream were instantly excited.
“The Monkey King is protecting its master! That claw was awesome! So satisfying! Let's see if this yellow-haired guy dares to be arrogant!”
“Scammers deserve to die! I’ve been scammed before, lost a lot of money! Just thinking about it makes me angry!”
“Let’s take down the scammers! We can all testify that the Monkey King was acting in self-defense!”
“That claw from the Monkey King was so relieving! This is how it should be!”
...
The yellow-haired man wiped his face, his hands covered in blood.
What the hell! I got hit by a monkey?
Looking at the Monkey King baring its teeth at him from the ground, the yellow-haired man wanted to kick it to death.
But the next moment, three more golden monkeys jumped out of the truck bed, and the clumsy giant panda also climbed down, showing off in front of him.
The yellow-haired man was stunned.
What the hell?
Are these monkeys really coming to get me?
He immediately backed off, glaring fiercely,
“Fine, you hit someone and even hit me, just wait!”
As he spoke, he pulled out his phone and started calling for help,
“Bro, I ran into some trouble! Hurry over!”
“Son, son! Are you okay?”
At this moment, the elderly man lying on the ground hurriedly got up and rushed to the yellow-haired man's side.
Seeing the bloodstains on the yellow-haired man's face, he immediately began to wail.
“Damn it! You hit someone and even hit me! There’s no law anymore!”
Countless onlookers immediately gathered around.
The giant panda and golden monkeys were already eye-catching, and now with this scam incident, the drama had become even juicier.
They had to gather around to watch!
Lin Fan hurriedly stopped A Bao and the golden monkeys, not wanting the situation to escalate further.
“Young man, you should leave quickly! His brother runs a martial arts school!”
Some kind-hearted onlookers reminded him,
“They are professional scammers! They’ve scammed a lot of people; you should just leave with the panda.”
“Leave? You hit someone, hit me, and still want to leave?”
The yellow-haired man had a fierce look on his face.
As soon as he finished speaking, a luxury SUV sped around the corner.
With a screech, it stopped at the scene.
The door opened, and two men, one tall and one short, with fierce expressions, got out.
“Bro, it’s him!”
Seeing these two men, the yellow-haired man immediately became bold.
The tall one was named Sun Gang.
He owned a taekwondo school and was a black belt in taekwondo, known for being tough and aggressive.
The yellow-haired man was his younger brother.
He often brought his elderly father, who was over seventy, out to scam people.
When an elderly man scams, everyone knows the drill.
Even the hat-wearing uncle can't do anything about the elderly!
Low cost, high profit, it was practically a no-risk business.
When they encountered someone tough, Sun Gang would come to assert dominance and threaten them.
They had become notorious professional scammers in the area.
So, upon receiving the yellow-haired man's call, Sun Gang rushed over with his underlings.
The surrounding onlookers immediately began to discuss.
“Oh no! Sun Gang is here! This young man is in for it! Sun Gang is ruthless; I heard he’s a taekwondo black belt! Last month, someone was beaten into the hospital by him!”
“What a sin! Is there really no one who can deal with them? They’re so despicable, professional scammers!”
“This young man is in trouble! He’s still transporting animals! He might even lose his job!”
“Hurry and call for help! Hope it’s not too late!”
