The three people opposite quickly surrounded Xiaofeng, leaving Su Peng out of the circle.
"Little girl, someone wants to see you," said the thuggish trio. "Come with us."
Su Xiaofeng looked at them, a hint of wariness in her eyes, "Oh? Who wants to see me, and needs to invite me in such a manner?"
"You’ll know once you get there," said one of the men with mid-length hair, reaching for Xiaofeng’s wrist. "Just walk when you’re told to, why so much useless talk?"
Su Xiaofeng stepped back, avoiding their grasp, her voice low, "If someone wants to see me, then lead the way. What’s with the grabbing?"
After all, she had trained before. She could handle these few no-gooders, and besides, she was with Xiaoqi, so she was curious to see who wanted to meet her.
The trio found her words amusing. "The girl’s got some spirit. Hope you keep that up later. Let’s go."
Soon she would be crying.
"What are you doing?" Su Peng’s eyes widened, "Where are you taking my sister? I’ll fight you."
Su Peng charged at the man in front.
The two men behind exchanged a glance and stretched out their legs to trip him.
Xiaofeng muttered something, pushing against the two men, pushing them several meters away. Su Peng clung tightly to one of them and then called out to Xiaofeng, "Run, Xiaofeng!"
Su Feng was touched by her big brother’s foolish act, "Big brother, I just want to see who’s looking for me."
Not fully understanding, Su Peng let go of the man, his eyes clouded with confusion, "We’re supposed to go with them, are they bad guys, will they kidnap you?"
"Are you scared, big brother?"
"If you’re not scared, then neither am I," Su Peng thought hard, deciding that if Xiaofeng dared to go, he dared to follow.
The three thugs looked at Su Xiaofeng’s composed demeanor, spat on the ground, and scoffed, "Look here girl, don’t think we’ve invited you for tea. Just don’t cry later."
To not be scared was indeed strange.
A normal girl in this situation would be crying and begging for mercy, wouldn’t she?
"I don’t know if I’ll cry," she thought. Her pocket was full of chili powder that might come in handy at the right moment, maybe even making them cry.
Talking to Su Xiaofeng was exhausting, they stopped talking and brought her to a private room in a teahouse.
Su Peng wanted to follow them in, but the trio blocked him.
Xiaofeng looked back and said coldly, "He comes with me, or I’m not going in."
"Let him in," came a deep male voice from inside. "The idiot won’t screw anything up."
The trio allowed Su Peng to follow Xiaofeng into the room.
Inside sat three people: Huang Bawan, Boss Wu, and a big bald man.
Baldie had a round head and a thick gold chain around his neck, with shiny tattoos on both arms.
Su Xiaofeng immediately realized that it must have been the bosses Huang and Wu who had paid to bring her here.
"Miss Su, right? Have a seat," Huo Ge said with a smile as he looked at the newcomer.
To be exact, Su Xiaofeng was quite attractive, with rosy lips, bright teeth, a slender willowy waist, and a stunning figure. There was definitely something about her.
Xiaofeng’s lips curled into a slight smile, her voice as fresh as the air after rain, "I was wondering who wanted to see me, just a few days after I arrived in the city. I didn’t expect it to be Boss Huang and Boss Wu. Boss Huang, are you still feeling guilty about my dad getting hurt? Although he suffered some injuries, he’s recovered well enough to work again. Of course, I must thank you for the compensation you gave."
It was fine until the compensation was mentioned, which made Huang Bawan seethe with anger, "Su Xiaofeng, you have the nerve to bring up the compensation! I had you brought here today to make you cough up that money. If you don’t return the thirty thousand yuan today, don’t even think about leaving this place."
Huang Bawan glanced at Baldie, "See this guy here? He runs a dance hall and happens to need some dancers. If you don’t cough up the money, he’s taking you away today."
Calling it dancing was putting it nicely. Who knew what might happen if some drunk men got out of control.
With his legs crossed, Boss Wu emitted smoke rings, "Miss Su, you remember me, right? The guy from last time, your boyfriend, I guess? He’s strong, threw me so hard I was bedridden for three days. Who should I settle this score with?"
Who would let being thrown around pass as if nothing happened?
Standing across from them, Su Xiaofeng and Su Peng together listened to the grievances of Huang Bawan and Boss Wu, her eyes calm, the corners of her lips lifted slightly, "From what you’re saying, it sounds like you don’t plan on letting me go today."
"You can leave if you want to," Boss Wu extinguished the cigarette in his hand, "Just hand over your man to me, and pay back the money to Boss Huang, then all will be well."
"Old Wu is right," Huang Bawan huffed, "If you want to leave safely, that’s the deal. Otherwise..."
Huang Bawan’s gaze drifted towards Baldie; the intention in his eyes was clear—they planned to sell Su Xiaofeng to Baldie.
"Young lady," Baldie stood up. "You’re quite a sight, but I’ve heard you’re pregnant. You’re still welcome to join us—it’s not every day we get a pregnant dancer at the club. If you’re willing to give it a try, I agree."
Listening, Su Xiaofeng raised her eyebrow, "Really? It seems this Baldie isn’t born of a mother, not sparing even a pregnant woman."
"Are you asking for trouble?" He was offended at being insulted, "Who do you think you are to act up in front of me?"
