Chapter 23 - Rescue!

Chapter 23 Rescue!

Looking at the SUV that had lost control and was running towards him, Tang Zhen immediately felt his scalp explode. A huge sense of danger surged in his heart, and he reflexively wanted to jump to the side to dodge.

With his current reaction speed and explosive power, it shouldn’t be a problem for him to dodge this SUV.

At the same time, he had already noticed that behind the SUV, two passers-by were lying on the ground, their faces covered in blood. He didn’t know if they were dead or alive.

Just as he was about to dodge, the scream in his ears made him give up on dodging in a flash.

In front of him were the three girls. At such a short distance, they couldn’t avoid this out-of-control car at all.

Tang Zhen had even seen the blood-red eyes of the SUV driver and the frightened expression of the girls in front of him.

From the looks of it, if Tang Zhen dodged, the car would send the three girls flying in the next second.

At such a young age, they were about to suffer a disaster and even die.

However, he could save them and help them escape this danger!

There seemed to be no need to consider what to do.

Most importantly, Tang Zhen felt that he really had this ability.

In a moment of life and death, Tang Zhen shouted and rushed in front of the three girls like lightning. He stepped on the ground and pushed his palms forward. The cell phone on his body flashed, and a mysterious power appeared, but Tang Zhen didn’t notice at all.

“Bang!”

After a muffled sound, the scene of the girls being sent flying didn’t happen. Instead, a miraculous turn of events occurred.

Under the shocked gazes of the three shocked girls and passers-by, Tang Zhen’s body leaned forward in a bow, and his palms were pressed firmly against the front of the out-of-control SUV.

It actually forced this out-of-control car to stop!

Only at this moment did the three girls realize what was happening in front of them.

Looking at the off-road vehicle less than half a meter away from the three of them, and then at the young man in front of him who had snatched the three of them from the hands of Death, one of the girls couldn’t help but exclaim out loud.

“Wow, you’re so cool!”

The tallest of the three girls, the girl in the beige trench coat, was the first to react. She screamed in excitement and looked at Tang Zhen with admiration.

Upon hearing the trench coat girl’s words, the other two girls also returned to their senses. While still in shock, they looked at him with gratitude and shock.

Even the passers-by at the side recovered from their petrified state and whispered in shock and amazement, wondering how Tang Zhen forced the SUV to stop.

If the off-road vehicle had braked at the critical moment, it would make sense. Unfortunately, judging from the state of the off-road vehicle driver, he probably didn’t step on the brakes.

But if Tang Zhen relied on his own strength to do this, it would be a little terrifying.

The off-road vehicle stopped for a moment after hitting the person. Although its speed was only about 60 after starting again, the impact of the collision was three to four tons. It was strong enough to collapse a wall.

It required a lot of strength to force this to stop with one’s own strength. It was simply not something humans could accomplish.

Logically speaking, such a thing would only appear in novels and movies, but now, it was displayed in front of them.

“Could this guy be Superman?”.

Someone couldn’t help but blurt out, but he received the nod of agreement from the onlookers beside him.

The spectators discussed, but as the party involved, Tang Zhen’s situation was a little bad.

He had already lost feeling in his arms, and his body was so shocked that he almost vomited blood. The blood in his chest surged.

The old injuries that had just healed also showed signs of relapse at this moment. Gritting his teeth, he slowly moved his unconscious arm away. Only then did Tang Zhen discover in shock that there were two deep palm prints on the car’s shell!

Then, he turned around and lowered his head, fleeing like lightning.

Seeing Tang Zhen retreat as if he was running for his life, the others were a little confused. They guessed why this brave young man would do such a thing.

The three girls saw the palm print in the car and looked at each other in shock, their faces filled with disbelief.

Tang Zhen ran for a while. Seeing that no one was paying attention to him, he casually called a taxi.

After closing the car door, he took a taxi home.

Tang Zhen, who was lying on the bed, felt extreme pain in his arms and chest, as if his bones had already broken inch by inch. A piercing pain made him break out in cold sweat.

However, he also felt very glad. If it weren’t for the fact that he had absorbed the bead to advance to the next level and his body had mutated, he might have been sent flying by a car today. The outcome could be said to be either death or disability.

Moreover, he had also saved three precious lives at the same time. Even if he was injured because of this, Tang Zhen didn’t regret it at all.

However, he didn’t know that if not for the help of his cell phone, he might be lying in the hospital now.

After swallowing a piece of ivy ointment, the bitter and fragrant taste made Tang Zhen feel much better.

As time passed, the pain in his body gradually decreased. The tired Tang Zhen actually slowly fell asleep.

When he woke up the next morning, he was surprised to discover that his normal movements were no longer affected.

After checking carefully and confirming that there was nothing wrong with his body, Tang Zhen was relieved.

At the same time, he sighed secretly. This ivy ointment was indeed magical. His serious injuries actually recovered overnight!

Putting down the worry in his heart, Tang Zhen calculated the time and suddenly realized that it was time to repay the ‘debt’ every month.

He took out his cell phone and flipped through it. Tang Zhen wanted to find the name of a contact. Only then did he realize that his cell phone couldn’t be used.

Only then did Tang Zhen suddenly remember that his cell phone had already mutated. It would be strange if he could make a call.

“I’ve been so busy recently. How could I have forgotten about this?”

Tang Zhen was a little annoyed. No wonder no one called and sent him a message every time he returned. It was actually because of this.

Unable to make a call, Tang Zhen could only go out and buy another cell phone. Then, he dialed a number he had memorized before.

“Eh, Uncle Sun, I’m Little Yi! What are you busy with… Where are you… Alright, I’ll go over immediately.”

After hanging up, Tang Zhen got into a taxi and headed to a local mall that was being renovated.

After getting out of the car and sizing it up, Tang Zhen found the entrance. He avoided the renovation materials everywhere and walked to the third floor, which was under renovation.

After searching for a few minutes according to the location the other party told him, he finally saw Uncle Sun covered in dust.

After greeting loudly, Uncle Sun also saw Tang Zhen. He wiped the sweat on his head and walked over.

“Little Tang, you’re here!”

Uncle Sun, who was wearing tattered work clothes, smiled at Tang Zhen, but it made the wrinkles on his face even more obvious.

Tang Zhen sighed in his heart. His foster father was really a piece of trash. He actually deceived Uncle Sun, this honest person, for his hard work!

Uncle Sun was a good person, Tang Zhen’s neighbor.

When he and his sister were hungry when they were young, Uncle Sun often called them home to eat. He treated the siblings as if they were his own children.

Later on, his adoptive father used sweet words to cheat Uncle Sun of the savings he had accumulated from working everywhere, causing his daughter to almost go crazy when she went to university because she couldn’t gather the school fees.

Every time Tang Zhen gave his salary, he would always leave a portion for Uncle Sun. The amount of money he returned each time was not that important. What was important was that he wanted to make up for the guilt in his heart.

This time, he brought all the money his adoptive father owed and planned to return it all to Uncle Sun.

The mall was being renovated and was quite noisy, so it was hard to be heard if one spoke too softly. Seeing this, Uncle Sun brought Tang Zhen to the fire escape staircase outside. Only then did Tang Zhen feel that the entire world had fallen silent.

He took out money from his pocket and handed it to Uncle Sun, letting him count it.

Uncle Sun was stunned at first, but then he pushed the money back and insisted that there was no hurry.

He naturally knew how tiring it was for Tang Zhen to work so many jobs, provide for his sister’s schooling, and help his adoptive father repay his debts.

If it weren’t for the fact that his family was also living in poverty, Uncle Sun wouldn’t have accepted the money Tang Zhen returned every month.

“Uncle Sun, this money is yours in the first place. I’m just returning it for my father. Don’t worry, I can earn a lot of money every month now that I’m doing business.”

Tang Zhen tried his best to persuade him, and only then did Uncle Sun accept the money. However, he refused to accept Tang Zhen’s additional gratitude fee which was considered as “interest”.

Uncle Sun sighed and cursed Tang Zhen’s foster father for being a jerk. He had made things hard on Tang Zhen and his sister, these two sensible children.

Tang Zhen was silent. What else could he say?
