After the elevator doors opened, the youth took the lead out of the elevator, with Gu Zhiqi and Qiao Qingshu closely following behind.
Once they exited the elevator and walked down a not-so-long hallway, they reached a corner, and all three simultaneously turned in the same direction without prior arrangement.
After turning the corner, they could faintly hear the chaotic sound of footsteps and muffled "hmm hmm hmm" sounds.
Hearing this noise, the three of them paused briefly in unison, then quickened their pace.
As they rounded the corner, they saw a group of people pushing a girl along the hallway towards them, and the gagged girl was incessantly grunting "hmm hmm hmm."
Noticing the trio’s approach, the group stopped in their tracks and watched them warily.
When the group halted, Gu Zhiqi and his team also stopped.
The captive girl, seeing the direction of the three, suddenly brightened her eyes and vigorously struggled, frantically grunting at Gu Zhiqi and his companions.
"Who are you?" the leader demanded, eyeing Gu Zhiqi and his two companions warily.
"Who are you?" retorted the youth who was a step ahead of Gu Zhiqi and Qiao Qingshu, his voice cold as he stared at the group before him.
"You need to understand the situation — I’m the one asking you... you... Ever Winning Army?" Although the leader’s tone was extremely arrogant and wild, his expression radically changed, a deep fear and panic coloring the bottom of his eyes when the youth pulled out something.
The youth was indeed from the Ever Winning Army, and at that moment, he was holding up a Token for the others to see.
The leader could only recognize that it was an Ever Winning Army Token, but he did not realize it was Team Seventeen’s squad leader Jin Feng’s exclusive hand token.
As soon as the group’s leader uttered the words "Ever Winning Army," everyone’s faces changed, including that of the girl who kept grunting.
Gu Zhiqi, observing the scene before him, decided not to move just yet, preferring to watch the drama unfold a bit longer.
As Gu Zhiqi stood still, Qiao Qingshu naturally didn’t move either, casting an inquisitive glance at the youth.
From the Ever Winning Army?
Seeing the leader’s swagger subside, Jin Feng put away the token and said at a leisurely pace, "Now, you can identify yourselves."
"I... We are from the Yun Family, I am the captain of the Yun Family Guard Team’s first squad, Yun Chao," spoke up the foremost person fearfully as he promptly revealed his identity.
Jin Feng had no interest in remembering his name; upon hearing he was from the Yun Family, his brow furrowed slightly, but soon he pointed to the girl with her mouth sealed and being pushed along, "What are you doing with her?"
Yun Chao’s eyes flickered rapidly and he began hesitantly, "She... she is a member of our family." Then, smiling obsequiously at Jin Feng, he added, "This... family affair is not something for you to worry about, sir."
As Yun Chao finished talking, the captive girl began violently shaking her head.
Seeing this, Yun Chao viciously glared at her, "Shut up!"
"Hmm!" The girl puffed out her chest, glared back at Yun Chao, and acted as if she was going to headbutt him.
As Yun Chao raised his hand to smack her, Jin Feng intervened.
"Tear off the tape on her mouth," Jin Feng grabbed Yun Chao’s hand, pushed him aside, and then turned to the two holding the girl.
"Mr. Jin Feng, this should not be done; this woman is a lunatic, she will bite," Yun Chao explained hurriedly.
Hearing this, the girl glared fiercely at Yun Chao, looking as if she wanted to bite him to death.
Seeing her reaction, Yun Chao immediately turned to Jin Feng, "You see, she indeed bites..."
