I changed the world.

Escorted by police gyroplanes, the rest of the journey was uneventful, and the bus traveled along Provincial Highway 670 all the way to the Guizhou South toll station.

When the bus arrived at the toll station on the outskirts of Guizhou, its battered body and the gyrocopter hovering slowly overhead as an escort had already attracted the attention of many vehicles along the way.

By this time, the westernmost toll lane had been cleared outside the toll station. Along the roadside outside the toll station, several black sedans of different brands, all high-end models, were parked; in addition, two ambulances and three police cars were waiting nearby. Around these vehicles, several people were standing and gazing towards the provincial highway.

Guided by a policeman, the bus stopped in a cleared area next to the black sedans. Jin Wang stepped off first, his expression excited, and greeted a middle-aged man who quickly approached with a serious face. He then spoke with a hint of lingering fear, "Ruoxu, Fatty, I almost didn't get to see you again this time..."

Clearly, Jin Wang knew the newcomers. After a few brief words, the police officers who had been waiting nearby got into the car first. Then, with the witnesses pointing out the injuries, they carried the four robbers, some dead and some injured, out of the car. Two of the robbers were confirmed dead at the scene, while the other two were confirmed to be alive. However, the tattooed man was in critical condition due to severe injuries to his genitals, foaming at the mouth and seemingly on the verge of death. He was then put into one of the hospital ambulances, while the other was examined by the doctor. After being confirmed to be unharmed, he was handcuffed and put into the back seat of a police car.

The female tour guide's body was then carried off the bus, covered with a white sheet, and placed in a vehicle. Next, Mr. Li Xuezhe was helped off the bus. He had fainted from the shock on the bus and, although he was revived, his condition remained poor. After a brief examination, he was lifted onto a stretcher and taken to another ambulance.

In addition, Qian Yu was also taken to an ambulance for emergency treatment because his finger was severed.

After that, the other passengers filed off the bus one after another. Zhang Jing noticed that Ma Bo, Lü Yangzhong and others knew the middle-aged man next to Jin Wang, but they were obviously not as familiar with him as Jin Wang.

"This is Zhang Jing, Zhang Hongjian, my younger brother. We owe it all to my brother's help this time, otherwise, it's hard to say whether any of us in this car would have survived." Jin Wang pulled Zhang Jing close to his side, patting him on the back as he introduced them.

"Brother, let me introduce you. This is Cai Jing and Cai Ruoxu, the heads of the Jiangdong Guild in Nanzhao. You are from Linzhou, so if you come to Nanzhao in the future, you can come to the Jiangdong Guild for anything."

"Master Cai, it's a pleasure to meet you." Zhang Jing bowed to Cai Jing.

"Brother Hongjian, you are truly a man of exceptional talent. Another outstanding person has emerged from Jiangdong!" Cai Jing smiled and warmly cupped his hands in a gesture of respect before naturally taking Zhang Jing's hand and praising him.

"Ruoxu, let me tell you, my brother here is not only exceptionally skilled, but also young and promising. I plan to introduce him to Mr. Shen when we get back," Jin Wang interjected meaningfully.

"Oh?" Cai Jing, a shrewd and perceptive man, immediately understood the implied meaning. He realized that Jin Pangzi wouldn't have said such a thing unless he held this young man in extremely high regard. He knew that this seemingly amiable man was by no means someone to be underestimated. In a flash, his smile grew even warmer: "I'm a person who loves making friends. Brother Hongjian and I hit it off immediately, so there's no need to be so formal. Just call me by my courtesy name."

"Then... I shall respectfully comply."

"Hahaha, if you ever come to Nanzhao again, I'll definitely visit the guild hall more often. Let's keep in touch and have more interactions."

"Brother Ruoxu, you are too kind. I hope you won't mind me bothering you in the future."

"What are you saying..."

..............................

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Cai Jing knew that everyone needed to rest after what they had just experienced. Moreover, it was a public place with many people around, so it was not appropriate to talk for too long. Therefore, he invited everyone to get into the car.

"Everyone has suffered today. I have prepared accommodations for you all. Please rest early tonight, and tomorrow I will continue to show you hospitality."

So, everyone got into the cars he had prepared. As for the police, Cai Jing said he would handle it. Seeing his relaxed demeanor, which didn't seem fake, Zhang Jing gained a deeper understanding of the hidden power of these conglomerates.

"The Jiangdong Guild Hall is backed by the Jiangdong Consortium. You should have seen it when you went to other cities. It's mainly for the convenience of local gentry and merchants when they travel. On the other hand, it's also a tool for the consortium to handle local affairs. When doing business, someone always needs to maintain local relationships." Sitting in the back seat of the smoothly moving car, Jin Wang noticed Zhang Jing's thoughtful expression and spoke up.

Upon hearing Jin Wang's words, Zhang Jing subconsciously recalled the various hometown associations of Chinese people all over the world in his previous life, and nodded to indicate that he understood.

"Is your brother acquainted with this Manager Cai?" Zhang Jing asked after thinking for a moment.

“Brother, I come to Nanzhao several times a year because I’m in this business, so I have a lot of dealings with him. This Cai Ruoxu is a remarkable person. If you are interested in developing your career in the jade industry in the future, you can try to get to know him better.”
