Rebirth of the Godly Prodigal Chapter 1106 - Show-Off Mode Initiated!

Chapter 1106: Show-Off Mode Initiated!

Sure enough, before they had moved much further, the road suddenly became more crowded. The originally already narrow road was completely congested. The manager frowned as she looked at this situation and said, “Looks like something happened in front. Shall we take a detour?”
Detour? How would he complete the mission if they took a detour?
“I’ll take a look.” Hong Dali got off the car. Gu Feifei and Cutie Ke quickly followed.
He ducked into the crowd and immediately heard people discussing in low voices. “Ah, he has blood all over his face from the fall. Poor thing.””Yeah, but I don’t dare to go over and help him up. What if I get extorted?” “Yeah, we run small businesses. If we get extorted of tens of thousands because we helped him, we might as well just jump off a building.” “Sigh, it feels really bad to not help him. Look at his advanced age…”
The onlookers wanted to help but dared not.
After all, there were too many examples of people who had gone to help and ended up being extorted of tens of thousands of yuan. No one wanted to take the risk and try their luck.
However, others might not dare, but Hong Dali dared—he did not have much of anything, except money…
“Old grandpa, can you hear me?” Hong Dali stepped forward. At this moment, a kind person reminded him. “Young man, be careful, don’t get cheated.” Someone quickly took out his mobile phone. “I’ll record it, it might come in handy as evidence later…”
So, everyone around them took out their phones and stood by to record…
“Aiya, what a fall…” The old grandpa was very advanced in years. There were several age spots on his face and on the back of his hands. However, he still looked spirited. “Young man, thank you. I just couldn’t get up after I fell down. Ah…”
“Hehe, old grandpa, you’re already so old, yet you are still so careless.” Hong Dali held the old grandpa’s arm. “I’ll take you to the hospital to get checked out.”
“Boy, thank you. You can just dial 120 for me.” The old grandpa was still very clear-headed. “I’ll go by myself when 120 comes, lest people say that I want to extort money from you…”
“Ah, it’s okay. I have a car. I’ll take you there,” Hong Dali said and waved at the manager.
The manager secretly shuddered—a rich man was just different. He even dared to help an old grandpa who had fallen…
When they saw the super cool Knight XV coming, the surrounding crowd opened up for it to pass. At the same time, everyone clapped for Hong Dali—these days, dashing young men like Hong Dali were rare…
The positive energy was powerful!
System: “Hidden Mission: Help the fallen old grandpa up, completed. Mission Reward: 20 Achievement points.”
They quickly drove the old grandpa to the nearest hospital and registered for medical treatment. Shortly after, the doctor was done with his check-up and said, “It’s just a small problem. In simple terms, he has got a little heat stroke. The weather today is a little hot and the old man is wearing too much clothing. He’ll be fine with some rest.”
Well, it was good that he was fine. He had completed his task. The side mission had been completed and he had gotten the achievement points. Why would he still want to hang around?
Just as Hong Dali was preparing to leave, a figure rushed in. As soon as the door opened, she asked anxiously, “Grandpa, how are you?”
Hong Dali was surprised when he took a better look at the girl.
“It’s you!” The two said at the same time.
“Why are you here?” The two asked at the same time.
Then there was an inexplicable silence.
“Hehehehe, it looks like you’re taking great pains to get to me.” The girl looked at Hong Dali and sneered. “First, you had someone pretend to be a thief so you could be a hero and save the damsel in distress. When I did not take the bait, you went after my grandfather!”
What the hell, what was she implying?
Hong Dali, Gu Feifei and Cutie Ke were stunned. They were just doing a good deed. What ulterior motives did they have? Did he look like someone who would try to get a woman by any means necessary?
Hong Dali had tried to be patient, but it was too much. He resolutely clasped his hands together and said, “Amitabha, Miss. You are thinking too much…”
What he said was amusing, and Gu Feifei and Cutie Ke immediately started laughing.
“You’re the one that is thinking too much!” The girl turned red instantly and cried angrily. “If you were not trying to hit on me, how can there be so many coincidences? When I met a thief, you caught him. When my grandfather fell down, you were there? If you were the one who pushed my grandfather, causing him to fall, you’ll never hear the end of it from me!”
Hong Dali gasped—it was really hard to explain what happened. He could not possibly tell her the System’s radar sent him there…
Then, the young lady hurried into the ward. When she saw the old man, she immediately asked, “Grandpa, are you okay? How did you fall? Did someone push you?”
Damn, were his good intentions being mistaken for ill ones?
Luckily the old man was truthful. “No. I wore too much today and the weather was hot. So, I got heatstroke. No one pushed me.”
“Oh…” The girl was relieved. This time, she looked at Hong Dali with a much friendlier expression. “Okay, I’ll let you off.” It was obvious from the girl’s bearing that she came from a good family. She was more polite now. “Thank you.” This “thank you” was a lot more sincere, very much different from the first time she thanked him.
With this, Hong Dali felt much better.
He did not do good deeds for fame or fortune, but a thank you was always appreciated.
With the intention to show her appreciation, the girl took out one thousand yuan from her bag and said softly, “I misunderstood you. Furthermore, you brought my grandpa to the hospital. Will you accept this money?”
When he saw this, Hong Dali was too stunned to react.
He was a prodigal, and it had always been him tipping people. This time, he was the one getting a tip…
“Amitabha, please keep the money.” Hong Dali grinned. “A man of the cloth does not do good deeds for money or fame…”
If he were a man of the cloth, the rest of the world would be monks…
“Xianxian,” said the old man who was lying in the room, “this boy has no shortage of money. You don’t need to tip him. Anyway, I saw that car twice. It’s a Knight XV that costs 15 million. It’s not possible for a person who drives a car like that to do good deeds for the tips.”
Speaking of which, the Knight XV with a price tag of 15 million was impressive. An average gold worshiper would have gone weak upon hearing the name of the vehicle. However, the girl did not have much of a reaction. She simply put the money away and said, “In that case, I won’t give you money. Thank you.”
Seeing the girl’s reaction, Gu Feifei and Cutie Ke looked at each other and raised their eyebrows together.
It looked like this girl had a good upbringing. No wonder she was always on her guard. There must be many people after her.
It was true.
The girl’s name was Qiao Xianxian, the beloved daughter of Qiao Muqun, chairman of Wufeng Mining. She was definitely a little princess. No one knew exactly how many assets the Qiao Family had, but it was definitely above 50 billion. In the past, Qiao Xianxian would be followed by bodyguards wherever she went. However, it happened that she had wanted to go shopping on a whim today, so she had gone out without any guards. She did not expect to meet a thief because of it…
There were too many coincidences in this world. Old Master Qiao was also a person who did not like to bring bodyguards with him. He would mostly just walk around and buy some food. In the mornings he would go to the park to practice Tai Chi and play with the birds.
Anyway, this was a society governed by law. He had never been in any danger. He did not expect to get a heatstroke today because the weather was too good and he had worn too many clothes…
Of course, Hong Dali was not really concerned about what was happening here. He had done what he set out to do and just wanted to leave quickly. “Well, now that Old Master is fine, I won’t stay here any longer. I’m leaving first. There’s no need to send me off.”
Once he finished talking, he got ready to leave.
However, he had just taken a step out when the old man spoke. “Xianxian, my old bones almost met King Hades today. He saved my life, we have to show our appreciation. We have nothing to do in the afternoon anyway, how about we treat this young man to a meal?”
What? A meal? Was it a date?
“Okay.” Qiao Xianxian did not have any objections to it. She looked at Hong Dali and asked, “In that case, I’ll treat you to a meal. Take it as thanks for your help. What do you think?”
This was a free lunch, we should not reject it, comrades!
“Well, okay.” The child in Hong Dali was awoken. He broke into a sunny smile and said, “In that case, I will oblige you.”
Show-off Mode Initiated!
Speaking of which, what was Hong Dali’s status now? He had been honed by the universe, multiple identities superimposed, one upon another. Furthermore, he had been a prodigal for such a long time. Just one look and it was obvious he was a young master from a wealthy family. The slight air of arrogance was there.
Hong Dali was really quite attractive now—even if he wore clothes that were bought from a roadside store, they looked like emperor robes on him. The air of luxury about him would no doubt attract the unturning gazes of admirers.
The girl did not seem affected earlier. At this moment, she seemed to have been struck by lightning. Both her legs suddenly turned into jelly and her head was bowed. In a tiny voice like a mosquito’s, she asked, “What do you like to eat?”
Ah, it seemed that our Brother Dali was indeed irresistible no matter where he went…
Well, Hong Dali was actually really quite hungry now. He smiled again, another bright sunny smile, and the girl suddenly blushed. She had been wooed by countless men over the years, but today was the first time her heart had raced. No one would believe her even if she told them.
“Anything will do.” Hong Dali smiled. At this time, he seemed to have been possessed by Casanova. In a low, charming voice full of magnetism, he said, “We can have whatever Miss Xianxian decides.”
“Yes, I got it.” The girl gave an excited little shout when she saw that Hong Dali had agreed. After that, she felt like she had acted inappropriately. She quickly led the way with her face flushed red. However, she kept her head down, perhaps thinking of something.
The two walked alongside each other, with a distance about half a meter between them. As the girl walked, she stole several glances at Hong Dali. She wanted to talk to him, but did not know what to say. Gu Feifei and Cutie Ke were amused by this—Hong Dali was usually so thoughtless and heartless, but when it came to wooing girls he sure had a way about him!
