Seeing the girl turn around, Huang Qi felt a surge of excitement; he loved seeing the little girl's face turn pale with fright.

only……

The girl who turned around had long hair covering her face, her head tilted, her hands hanging at her sides, her thick black hair obscuring her eyes, which should have been teary, as she stared straight at him.

The smile froze on his face, a chill ran up his spine from his heels, and the back of his head felt icy cold.

Although the late summer night had cooled down somewhat, it was still hot. But at that moment, a gentle breeze swept by, and Huang Qi got goosebumps all over his body.

"Damn! What a lousy outfit. Go down and check if it's really Lü Chaochao." The woman's clothes haven't changed, and her hair is still tied up at the back of her head, but why is there such a thick long curtain covering the front, making it look like the back of her head? It's kind of scary.

The driver opened the car door, looked at the girl standing by the wall in his direction, his heart began to pound, and his steps became unexpectedly heavy.

For some reason, he didn't want to go, and he was afraid to go...

"Go on, don't let her run away. If you're sure it's Lü Chaochao, bring her here." Seeing the driver standing by the car like an idiot, Huang Qi impatiently stuck his head out to urge him on.

"Looking for me, brother?" A high-pitched, strange female voice suddenly rang in my ears.

The driver felt a sudden darkness before his eyes, and a stench assaulted his nostrils. Long, dirty black hair fell across his face. "Brother, you're so handsome," the woman's voice rang out again, this time from above his head.

The driver moved like a rusty machine, slowly tilting his head back. What he saw was a face full of turned-out flesh, a gruesome sight as if it had been hacked with a knife, with bulging eyeballs hanging precariously from their sockets.

"Aaaaaaaaahhhhhhh..."

Huang Qi was startled by the sudden scream, and then watched as the driver transformed into a man like the wind and ran away.

"Huang Qi, come with us." Then, everything went black, and he knew nothing more.

Wu Tianqing and Bai Jianqiang, looking like two idiots, stared blankly as the driver disappeared into the end of the street like a madman, while the girl on the curb leaned against the wall, crying uncontrollably.

"Let's go, get in the car, and take that girl with us." Yuan Zhuan opened the passenger seat first and got in.

Noticing her pursuers closing in, their pace shifting between fast and slow, playing a cat-and-mouse game, Lü Chaochao knew she couldn't escape. She stopped running, mentally preparing for death, but before she could act on it, a young girl suddenly appeared at the corner of the quiet street. Behind her were two tall men, their footsteps following a strange rhythm—clack, clack, clack—the sound of leather shoes striking the ground, clear and distinct, approaching from afar as if they had appeared out of thin air. It was incredibly sudden, but Lü Chaochao didn't find it eerie. Miraculously, the despair of certain death vanished instantly. She felt she was saved.

As if reborn, she couldn't help but burst into tears. As she cried, she heard the driver shouting wildly, and then he drove away. Turning around, she saw that the terrifying man had passed out in the back seat of the car.

Before she could figure out what was going on, the man behind the girl walked towards her. As he got closer, she could see that the handsome man exuded righteousness. Even though it was their first meeting, Lü Chaochao didn't think he was a bad person.

He said, "Let's go, I'll take you to a safe place."

She followed without asking any questions.

"This is our boss, you can call him boss too." As for Bai Jianqiang, Wu Tianqing didn't plan to introduce him; there was no need.

"Yes, boss, thank you, boss."

Boss Yuan Zhuan: ...

He nodded silently, without uttering a word.

My nerves were on edge, but then I suddenly relaxed completely, and a strong wave of drowsiness washed over me. I really didn't want to close my eyes, unless... I just couldn't resist...

The disheveled girl leaned against the corner of the back seat and drifted into a deep sleep.

"Miss, she's asleep," Bai Jianqiang said.

"Hmm, let her sleep, she's probably tired."

The deathly aura on the girl's brows had completely dissipated, and the system announced the arrival of merit points. The sound of water droplets falling into a puddle was quite pleasant.

Wu Tianqing saw the girl sleeping peacefully in the rearview mirror. It was a serene scene; if it weren't for her still red and swollen eyes, one would never have guessed how desperate she had been just minutes before. His gaze shifted to Huang Qi, who was curled up in the corner. A surge of anger welled up in Wu Tianqing's heart, but he quickly suppressed it. Based on his understanding of his boss over the past few days, he knew she would definitely make a move.

With a slight upturn of his lips, he was never in a bad mood after meeting his boss.

Just a month ago, he was humbly seeking employment for a few taels of silver, but after working for the boss for a short time, everything at home brightened up, and his younger brothers' illnesses were brought under control.

This must be what it means to finally reap the rewards after hardship.

In the brightly lit warehouse, the intense light shone directly on Huang Qi's face, making him uncomfortable. He tried to raise his hand to shield his eyes, but found himself unable to move. Memories returned, and Huang Qi woke up with a start. After opening his eyes, the glaring white light made him quickly close them again. He finally realized that he had been tied up.

"Who are you?" Squinting, Huang Qi looked around and finally settled on a corner.

"Huang Qi." The man said his name and slowly approached.

Even with his eyes half-closed, Huang Qi could clearly see the man's face, both familiar and unfamiliar, "Fu Dong!"

The person he recently helped his old friend deal with was Fu Dong, the good-for-nothing young master of the Fu family, who had just been found not long ago.

However, it now seems that he underestimated the kid's courage.

"You have a good memory, sir. You even remember us little minions." Fu Dong made a gesture, and the bright light suddenly turned off, plunging the space into darkness. Huang Qi panicked and his breathing became rapid.

"Release me, and the goods will be released soon." Huang Qi had naturally investigated the Fu family's wealth, but it was only in its twilight years. Even if they still controlled some things, the main family was far away and the emperor couldn't reach their territory. Even if they came, they would have to be subservient to them.

He was naturally aware of Fu Dong's return. The blood slaves and donors that family kept would eventually be taken away by them. The Fu family could not resist them. You must know that the other party was already at the end of their rope, but their blood type was special. They had searched for so many years to find a perfect donor like Fu Dong. How could they possibly give up?

Therefore, Fu Dong is nothing to fear, and the Fu family is not far from fading into obscurity.

only……

He hadn't expected that this new generation of the Fu family, who had been trapped for twenty years, could kidnap him so easily; he had underestimated him.

Fu Dong sneered at Huang Qi's request, took out his mobile phone from his pocket, and then stepped forward to untie the restraints on Huang Qi's hands.

Being untied was expected. Huang Qi stood up, rotated his wrist a few times, and wore a smug smile. Just as he was about to state his demands, he was met with a barrage of heavy punches.

"Fu Dong, you... um... stop, I'll kill you... ouch..." From intimidation to coercion and enticement, and then to pleas for mercy, it all happened under stiff fists. Huang Qi, with a bruised and swollen face, couldn't understand how Fu Dong dared to lay a hand on him when he knew his identity!

"Stop hitting him, he still needs to make a call." Wu Tianqing walked over, picked him up, and threw him on a stool; then he shoved the phone from Fu Dong's hand into Huang Qi's hand, stepped on Huang Qi's thigh, and smiled as he ground his foot into it. The latter grimaced in pain, panting heavily, and dared not curse like before.

This scene was all too familiar to him; it was something he did all the time, like a daily routine. So, putting himself in their shoes, he knew all too well that since these people dared to show their faces, they definitely wouldn't let him off easily. Therefore, what he feared most now was that if he angered them, they would actually try to kill him.

"I'll hit him. After I'm done, we'll consider this matter closed, okay?" Huang Qi gasped for breath from the pain in his lips, but he still didn't forget to negotiate.

Wu Tianqing chuckled, looking very amiable. The next second, he slapped Huang Qi twice. If he wasn't afraid of being beaten to death, the phone in Huang Qi's hand would have flown out of his hand with the force of the slap. He quickly begged for mercy, "I'll hit you, I'll hit you now, please don't hit me, please don't hit me..." He had never suffered any grievances since he was a child, but today he had suffered enough. Even though he had already decided to kill them when he got back, at this moment, he really didn't dare to cause any more trouble.

"Hello? Brother Xu, it's me, Huang Qi..."

"Hey bro, it's me, Huang Qi..."

...

Not long after the call ended, Fu Dong's other office phone rang. "Boss, our goods have been released and are already being loaded onto the truck..." Fu Dong glanced at Huang Qi, who was shrinking back and looking timid, took a few steps into the darkness, and whispered a few words.

Wu Tianqing took out his phone and said, "Call the owner of the nightclub you went to today. Release all the people they arrested."

What does that mean? Nightclub?

The girl's innocent and adorable face appeared in his mind, and a fierce look appeared in Huang Qi's eyes. It was her!

"Brother, this nightclub isn't mine either. I...I'll fight, I'll fight right now!"

Damn it, what kind of people are these? They start fighting at the drop of a hat!

Seeing the slap coming, Huang Qi no longer dared to talk about other things.

Wu Tianqing watched him make a phone call, "Young Master Fu, please have your men keep an eye on the Green Light Nightclub. Make sure they've released everyone. If they haven't, I'll kill Huang Qi here."

These words, spoken without any attempt at concealment, sent a chill down Huang Qi's spine as he was trying to gloss over the situation. "Yes, release them all. I'll check on them tomorrow. If you dare to move them or go to the next location, I'll make sure you disappear from this world. Remember that? Do you know who I am? I don't need another life of yours!" The chill in his words was unmistakable.

Yuan Zhuan watched the whole thing with an indifferent expression.

Tsk...

Having power and influence is great—you don't have to worry about anything.
