These people saw Xu Niannian and Hu Yue splitting up and hesitated.
A skinny guy asked, "Hey, boss, they’ve split up, who should we follow?"
With a "snap," the skinny guy received a slap on the head from his boss, "Of course, we follow the prettier one."
The skinny guy covered his head, his face a picture of misery, "But they are both beautiful."
"Pah, the better-looking one," the boss said.
They were mainly responsible for capturing Xu Niannian; it took them several days of inquiry to confirm who they were supposed to snatch.
So the group changed direction and followed behind Xu Niannian.
As for Hu Yue, she calmly found a place to hide.
Xu Niannian walked into an alleyway that was quite deep, with a turn at the end; once you reached the corner, you’d be completely out of sight from the main road, and whatever happened inside, people outside would be none the wiser.
The boss rubbed his hands together, his smile unsavory, "We really got lucky without trying."
"Boss, hold up, we can’t touch this woman. We have to tie her up and take her to Liu De first, then talk about the money."
After walking into the curving bend, Xu Niannian noticed the footsteps behind her getting closer, with no attempt whatsoever to disguise them.
Xu Niannian smiled slightly, this Liu De had really given her a good opportunity.
Liu De was in competition with her in the business arena, and Xu Niannian had planned to just use business tactics to deal with him, to stop him from profiting under the name of her Xu Family products.
She hadn’t expected him to deliver such a big surprise to her.
Xu Niannian deliberately walked slowly, and those people quickly ran ahead to block her path.
Xu Niannian put on an act of panic, "I’m sorry, could you please let me pass?"
This gang of hoodlums, getting a close look at Xu Niannian’s face in the narrow alley, immediately made noises of swallowing saliva.
"Boss, boss, she’s perfect," the skinny guy said, swallowing hard.
Xu Niannian was disgusted by those looks.
"What do you want to do?" she feigned a scared expression.
The Hooligan Leader, roused by her voice, said in a carefree manner, "What do we want to do? Haha... guys, the little beauty is asking what we want to do?"
Xu Niannian maintained her panicked expression, trying to back away.
"Of course, we are inviting the little beauty to take a walk with us, someone paid us to have you as a guest."
Even though the Hooligan Leader was a hoodlum, he had never seen such an exceptional woman, truly a knockout...
It even made him, a mere hoodlum, want to treat her with tenderness and care.
Xu Niannian let out a frightened "ah" and turned to run, but a group of people surged behind her. Strategically slowing down, Xu Niannian let herself be caught, knocked out, covered with a sack, and carried off like merchandise. Thɪs chapter is updated by novel~fire~net
Inside the sack, Xu Niannian still had the wherewithal to think, recalling how Jin Yu had once intended to cover her with a sack.
The sack smelled of dry dust, and Xu Niannian wrinkled her brow, hmm, not pleasant at all, quite unbearable.
Not until the skinny guy and his people had left the alley with Xu Niannian, did Hu Yue follow; she confirmed where Xu Niannian was taken before turning to leave.
Xu Niannian was taken to a secluded spot close to the countryside, where there was a small warehouse.
Before she even went in, she heard a familiar voice.
"Hubby, do you think these people will get the job done?" Zhao Zhenzhen asked in a cloying voice.
Liu De patted her back soothingly, "Don’t worry, Iron Head is a man who measures his actions, I’ve cooperated with him several times before, and there’s never been a hitch."
The "Iron Head" he mentioned was the leader of the hoodlums on a certain street in the city. When Liu De was in the jewelry business, he even had to pay him protection money.
