A carefree soldier king in the city

Chapter 676 Relaxation

Liu Yan laughed and said, "It's okay, do whatever you want. Your dad was just saying that to save face, don't take it to heart. As for work, you can go whenever you want."

Chao Bufan finally revealed a natural smile: "Mom is still the best to me. Mom, I'm going out now."

"Go ahead, call Mom if anything happens."

"Okay, I'm off then, Mom, goodbye!"

Chao Bufan was driving a BMW slowly on a road in the suburbs of the city. When he passed a T-shaped intersection, a black SUV came speeding from the intersection. He was startled and swerved the steering wheel to avoid a traffic accident.

The other vehicle also didn't expect a car coming straight, and it swerved sharply, causing both cars to veer off the main road and stop on the side of the road.

Unexpectedly, as soon as the other vehicle stopped, three men and two women rushed out, their eyes blazing with anger, and charged towards Chao Bufan, looking ready to attack. One of the men even cursed, "Damn it, are you blind? How do you drive?"

Three men and two women approached the driver's side of Chao Bufan's vehicle. Just then, Chao Bufan got out of the car, and without saying a word, one of the men suddenly punched Chao Bufan in the face...

Chao Bufan was already in a bad mood and had only come out to clear his head. He had almost been in an accident, and what's more, it was clearly the other car that was going too fast in the blink of an eye, while his car was moving slowly and on the main road. It wasn't his fault, so he couldn't help but feel angry. Seeing that the other car not only didn't realize its mistake but also cursed and dared to hit him, he became even angrier. He grabbed the other car's outstretched fist and pressed it down hard...

"Ah...my...huh?"

"kindness?"

Almost simultaneously, Chao Bufan and his opponent exclaimed in surprise, and then, in unison, they asked in astonishment…

"Extraordinary (Wang Zi)? It's you?"

Chao Bufan quickly let go, and when the others saw that it was indeed Chao Bufan, they were all overjoyed.

"Chao Bufan, it really is you! You bastard, weren't you always in the army?"

It turns out that these three men and two women are all extraordinary childhood friends, all around the same age, so their relationship is naturally good. The one speaking is Zhou Weihua, and the woman next to him is Yang Qin, and the two are lovers. As for the other man, his name is Ge Dawei, and the woman standing next to him is Zhang Yi, and the two are also lovers.

Upon seeing his old friend, Chao Bufan was immediately in a much better mood and said with a smile, "I have already left the army."

Ge Dawei asked curiously, "Bufan, why did you leave the army?"

Chao Bufan shrugged and said, "Life in the army was too boring and dull. I wanted to change my life, so I left."

"Really?" everyone asked in unison.

Chao Bufan laughed and said, "Believe it or not, I'm just stating the facts."

"Good, good, this is the Chao Bufan we know." Wang Zi forgot the pain in his wrist for a moment, put a hand on Chao Bufan's shoulder and said, "The Four Great Talents of Jiangnan can reunite today."

Chao Bufan shook his head and smiled, saying, "You bastard, you were driving just now, weren't you? Don't drive like that again."

Wang Zi chuckled and said, "I was in a hurry, so I put a little more pressure on my feet."

Chao Bufan asked, "Where are you all going?"

Zhou Weihua said, "Bufan, we..."

“Hey… Wei Hua, Bu Fan isn’t a soldier anymore, what’s there to be afraid of saying?” Ge Dawei said. “Bu Fan, we were just about to go treasure hunting!”

Upon hearing this, Chao Bufan asked in surprise, "Treasure hunting?"

Yang Qin said, "We discovered an ancient tomb a few days ago, it looks like it's from the Tang Dynasty, and we're planning to go take a look!"

Chao Bufan shook his head and smiled, saying, "You lot, instead of doing your proper work, you're doing these illegal things. Don't you know that tomb raiding is against the law?"

Wang Zi laughed and said, "Who cares if it's illegal or not? There are so many tomb raiders in China, a few more won't make a difference. It's better to be lucky than lucky, let's go together! Maybe we really will find treasure!"

Chao Bufan smiled and said, "You guys go ahead, I have something to do, so I won't go."

"No way!" Zhang Yi said, "Bufan, don't you consider us your brothers?"

"Exactly," the others chimed in.

Chao Bufan gave a bitter smile and said, "Zhang Yi, don't misunderstand. When I left the army, I left in a hurry and didn't complete many procedures. I really have something to do. How about this, you give me your address, and I'll come to you after I've taken care of things."

Zhou Weihua said, "Since that's the case, then fine. You go ahead and do your thing. I'll send you the address later. Remember to come over when you're done!"

Chao Bufan nodded and smiled, saying, "Don't worry! I'll come find you."

Chao Bufan got into the car, but didn't start it immediately. Instead, he quietly pondered. The dream he had last night was still vivid in his mind, and it felt like it was real. Although he had been discharged from the army, he had served in the special forces. However, he had never heard of the Divine Dragon Team, the Tang Group, the Eight Great Cultivation Worlds, or the Sun Village. Did these things really exist?

To prove whether the strange dream was real or not, he drove to Luohu District in Shenzhen and followed the dream to that familiar place. The road was still the same, and the overpass was still there, but there was no Tang Group here. Instead, there was a large shopping mall. So, he went to Xihai. Unfortunately, Xihai did have a resort area, but it was completely different from the Xihai in his dream.

He was puzzled. He muttered to himself, "Could it really just be a dream? But why does it feel so real? Could it be that I've been reading too many fantasy novels, and what I think about during the day is manifesting in my dreams at night?"

Next, he drove to the location of that shady hotel, the one run by Xu Gang and his gang. Unfortunately, there was indeed a hotel, but the owners were not the man named Xu Gang, but an elderly couple.

Finally, he gave up and told himself, "It really was just a dream."

Suddenly, his cell phone rang, breaking his reverie. He took it out and saw it was his mother calling. He quickly answered, "Hello, Mom."

"Son? Where are you?"

"Mom, I'm still outside!"

"are you alone?"

"Yes, I'm alone. Mom, is something wrong?"

"Nothing much, just wanted to ask, son, drive carefully and be safe!"

"Mom, I know, don't worry!"

"Good to know, son. Did Qianqian call you?"
