"Old man, I see you’re not young anymore. You must have been doing business here decades ago, but it’s been decades, and you shouldn’t bring up the past today. Let me tell you, in today’s society, it’s all about power. If you have power, people are afraid of you. If you don’t, they’ll treat you like a dog, that’s exactly what you’ll be, nothing more," said the man who had just been smoking, mockery in his voice, after hearing what old man Yuan had said.
This place now belongs to them.
Some local institutions also turn a blind eye to their actions.
"Bullshit," Old Yuan was so angry he could barely stand it, "I don’t believe you can just do whatever you want here."
"Well then, old man, you’d better look clearly. We’re going to take her with us now, and if you have the ability, have someone rescue her."
Xiaofeng looked at these men in front of her and wondered whether Ye Cheng’s purpose for being here had anything to do with them.
With this thought, she looked down, "Old Yuan, Brother Yuan, you guys go ahead. I reckon they just want to have a chat, they won’t do anything to me."
Suddenly, Cui Junkai remembered that Xiaofeng had some self-defense skills.
Yes, she said she had been in touch with the Dragon King and picked up some skills. So Xiaofeng wanting to go with them was her plan to teach them a lesson in private.
Indeed, if she taught them a lesson here, it would be too high profile and might be seen. Word would get out that she was part of the Dragon King’s circle, and then where would she be?
Thinking this, Yuan Junkai whispered to her, "Xiaofeng, I know you can take care of yourself, but you’ve seen their numbers, and this is their turf. Are you sure you can handle it?"
If possible, could he follow her and watch her in action?
Xiaofeng didn’t expect Yuan Junkai to catch on so quickly and said softly, "There shouldn’t be any problems."
If her guess was right, backup should be arriving soon.
"Then I’ll come with you. I may not have any skills, but maybe I could help you out at a critical moment."
"Will they let you come?"
It was indeed unlikely.
Old Yuan was puzzled by Xiaofeng’s words, "Girl, what do you mean by this? Are you planning to go with them willingly?"
This girl was always clever; had she lost her wits today?
"Old man, I think they really do want to invite me for tea, and I should show some sincerity, shouldn’t I?" Xiaofeng said with a light smile, "Don’t worry about me, I’ll be fine. I don’t think they’ll give me a hard time. You and Brother Yuan find somewhere to wait for me, and we can go back together once I’m out."
Whispering to Old Yuan, Xiaofeng reassured him, "Don’t worry, old man. My dad has sent someone to protect me, I’ll be alright."
She had to say this, or Old Yuan would certainly be worried.
Of course, Old Yuan knew her identity was not that of an ordinary person. Hearing this from her, the worry he had was relieved.
Furthermore, Xiaofeng wasn’t foolish, and there was a reason behind her actions. He nodded lightly, "Okay then, just be careful, and don’t confront them head-on."
No matter what, life comes first.
The others didn’t expect this woman to go with them willingly; they thought they would have to argue and perhaps threaten or bribe her.
It turned out to be unnecessary.
The woman even said they would invite her for tea.
Yes, as long as she took good care of the boss, she was sure to be invited for tea, and if she became favored, she might even become the wife.
"Lizi, something’s not right with this woman, it’s too strange; there won’t be a problem, will there?" the smoking man still felt uneasy.
This was his first time encountering such a situation; it was too abnormal.
"Who cares? The boss wants to see her. Our job is to bring her over," a woman was unlikely to cause much trouble.
The smoking man thought about it; if the boss wanted to see someone and they didn’t bring her, then the boss would truly be angry.
Watching Xiaofeng calmly follow the others, Old Yuan sighed softly. All he could hope for now was that the girl wouldn’t run into any trouble.
The car window had been smashed, and the mobile phone inside had been taken.
"Let’s go find Old Li, see if he has any ideas?" Old Li had been an intermediary in this area for a long time and certainly knew about these people.
"Dad, I think we don’t need to worry too much. Xiaofeng will surely be fine, I can tell she knows what she’s doing. If she didn’t, she definitely wouldn’t have gone with them, don’t you think?"
"You sure are laid-back. No matter how sure Xiaofeng is, no matter how confident, she’s still a woman. Once she’s gone with them, anything could happen. She said someone is protecting her; now I just hope they realize she’s in danger."
