Chapter 339 - Where Is My Money??
?Two men were walking along when they rounded a corner and came upon a sports car parked at the roadside, its hood propped open. Beside it were two more sports cars, around which a group of young men, who had the air of wealthy heirs, were huddled at the front, diligently inspecting the vehicle.
“Couldn't you have checked the car's condition before we set out? You've completely spoiled my mood!” one of the young masters complained impatiently. Without warning, he smacked the back of the head of the person next to him.
The struck individual looked up, his face a picture of aggrieved innocence. “But this is your car,” he protested weakly.
No sooner had he spoken than another slap landed on the back of his head. “I don't need you to tell me that!” the first young master snapped.
?”Brother Soong, there's nothing wrong with your car,” interjected one of the car-savvy men, looking up in confusion.
?Soong Shuhang furrowed his brow, “Then why won't it start?”
The one who had been hit, Lee Qiushui, raised his hand feebly and ventured, “Did you put gas in it?”
Soong Shuhang slapped him yet again, “I filled it up just last week!” The group fell silent at this.
?They had been planning to drive from the provincial city to Eastsea today, a journey of nearly 300 kilometers. Everyone else had made sure to fill up their tanks before departing.
Soong Shuhang glanced around at the silent group and said dismissively, “What's with those looks? It's a minor issue.” He showed no sign of embarrassment.
Just then, Soong Shuhang noticed Su Ming and Xiao Chen approaching from nearby. One was dressed in cotton shorts with military boots, and the other in casual attire with travel shoes. They didn't have the appearance of the affluent.
“You two!” Soong Shuhang called out, hand on his hip and pointing at Su Ming and Xiao Chen.
The pair turned, momentarily taken aback, then exchanged a glance and subtly sidestepped, having overheard the entire exchange. It was their first visit to Eastsea.
They might just be tourists.

And this is right in the heart of the city center.
Su Ming and Xiao Chen had just walked past a landmark building.
They realized they must have been blocking Soong Shuhang's view.
Soong Shuhang blinked.
Su Ming nodded, stepping back several paces with Xiao Chen.
Soong Shuhang looked puzzled.
“You two, come here,” Soong Shuhang instructed.
?”I don't know how to fix cars,” Su Ming admitted, shaking his head.
?”Neither do I,” Xiao Chen added quickly.
?Soong Shuhang clarified, “Come here first. I'm not asking you to fix the car.”
“Then what do you need?” Su Ming and Xiao Chen approached.
?”Is there a gas station around here?” Soong Shuhang inquired.
?”Yes,” Su Ming confirmed with a nod.
Wang Guohui had once built a dedicated gas station for Su Ming, right next to the parking lot entrance.
“I'll give you two 100 yuan to go buy me a can of oil,” Soong Shuhang said, pulling out 100 yuan from his belt.
?”I won't do it,” Su Ming refused, shaking his head.
?Su Ming would have assisted if Soong Shuhang were an elderly or mobility-impaired person, honoring the traditional virtues of the imperial court. But Soong Shuhang was perfectly capable.
“Is the money not enough?” Soong Shuhang asked, offering another 100 yuan.
“That's for running the errand,” he added with a hint of pride.
“I'm not going,” Su Ming insisted, still shaking his head.
“I'll give you up to 300!” Soong Shuhang said, taking out another 100 yuan.
?Before Su Ming could respond, a shadow zipped by, giving them all a start. It was a skateboarder speeding past.
Soong Shuhang was taken aback. Eastsea sure was full of surprises!
?”Where's my money?” Soong Shuhang suddenly realized his money was gone. The skateboarder had snatched his three hundred yuan!
“Stop right there!” Soong Shuhang yelled, but the thief had already vanished around a corner, leaving Soong Shuhang on the verge of tears.
“Brother Soong,” Lee Qiushui interjected, raising his hand, “there's no need for them to go buy it. We have a spare can of oil in our car.”
“No way!”
Soong Shuhang was resolute, pulling out an additional 300 yuan from his pocket.
“You two are going to buy oil for me today, no excuses!”
The moment Soong Shuhang's words fell, another shadow darted by.
Soong Shuhang was fuming with anger.
