The visual impact of what was coming at them caused the two men in black to hesitate for a moment, staggering backwards unconsciously.
Suddenly, a hand landed on each of their arms.
Following two simultaneous screams, the black-clad men who were holding Ye Lili each had an arm dislocated, now clutching their arms and wailing in place.
Yet another pair of screams, and the two men in black were slammed heavily onto the ground.
Ye Lili was stunned, her mouth wide open as she watched the men in black struggle on the floor, unable to get up, her entire being dumbfounded.
Maybe, she was still living in a dream.
"Let’s go," Gu Zhiqi said to Ye Lili before striding forward.
"Ah, go, go," Ye Lili responded twice in succession, following Gu Zhiqi with small, quick steps, glancing at the path, then at Gu Zhiqi.
Walk a few more steps, look at the path again, then back at Gu Zhiqi.
She repeated this process.
Gu Zhiqi didn’t respond to her right away but spoke to Chubby Chiu in her mind first, "Take care of the surveillance."
"No problem," Chubby Chiu replied at once, promptly dealing with the surveillance.
Only after hearing Chubby Chiu’s reply did Gu Zhiqi turn to glance at Ye Lili.
When Ye Lili saw Gu Zhiqi looking at her, she instinctively puffed up her chest and then gazed at Gu Zhiqi expectantly, waiting for her to speak.
"You haven’t transferred the money yet."
Before Ye Lili could react, Gu Zhiqi extended the payment code to her again, "Come on."
With a subtle twitch of her lips, Ye Lili quickly fished out her phone from her pocket, scanned Gu Zhiqi’s code, transferred the money rapidly, and then asked, "Um, Little Fairy, what’s your name?"
Gu Zhiqi did not answer Ye Lili’s question but instead asked casually, "Why are they after you?"
Upon hearing this, Ye Lili deflated, sighing deeply. "Ah~ It’s a long story. You’re better off not knowing; otherwise, it will only bring you more trouble."
Hearing Ye Lili’s words, Gu Zhiqi simply raised an eyebrow and remained silent, asking Chubby Chiu, "Is the surveillance taken care of?"
"It’s done," Chubby Chiu replied immediately.
"Is the triggered mission complete?" Gu Zhiqi continued.
After a moment of silence, Chubby Chiu answered in an annoyed tone, "As if it’s that easy to just fight and complete it."
Gu Zhiqi clicked her tongue lightly and looked sideways at Ye Lili again, "Where do you live?"
"Ah?" Ye Lili was momentarily taken aback, her expression dimming before quickly reverting to her carefree facade, scratching her head as she said, "I, I’m a wanderer without a fixed home."
"Previously, I always traveled around with my master without a fixed abode, but I lost contact with my master not long ago, so now... I can only wander around," Ye Lili explained, her voice tinged with a semblance of hard-to-conceal gloom.
Hearing Ye Lili’s words, Gu Zhiqi pondered for a couple of seconds before continuing, "You saw that you’ve already caused me trouble. If it’s convenient, could you tell me what’s going on with you?"
The crisis probably had to do with those people chasing her.
To resolve the crisis, they needed to stop chasing her.
Ye Lili paused for two seconds upon hearing this and then looked apologetically at Gu Zhiqi, "Um, sorry, I didn’t expect that they would go after someone even for just talking to me."
"Can’t you really talk about the reason they’re after you?" Gu Zhiqi asked Ye Lili while they continued forward.
The current situation left her no choice but to get involved.
Not only did those people want to capture Ye Lili, but it seemed they were after her as well.
