The Rong family's car took them back to the hotel.

As they got out of the car, another motorcycle sped past on the road outside the hotel, and the rider even turned his head to glance in their direction.

Huo Beixiao and Yang Qiaoqiao both felt a chill run down their spines, becoming even more certain that they were being watched.

After returning to their hotel room as usual, the two closed the door and then looked at each other.

"Brother Xiao, who do you think it could be?" Yang Qiaoqiao asked first.

Huo Beixiao pondered for a moment, "We were followed by motorcycles the whole way. They must be local motorcycle gangs from Gangcheng. I just don't know why they were watching us."

For some reason, Yang Qiaoqiao suddenly thought of the somewhat familiar figure she had seen at the Li family manor.

She still can't remember who that figure was.

After thinking about it, she didn't mention it to Huo Beixiao.

Huo Beixiao looked down at Yang Qiaoqiao, who was deep in thought, and his brows relaxed. He pulled her into his arms and stroked her head, saying, "Wife, we don't need to worry too much about this. Aunt Rong has sent their car for us to use while we're in Hong Kong."

Given the Rong family's status in Hong Kong, even if those motorcycle gangs had their eyes on us, they might not dare to touch us.

Yang Qiaoqiao leaned against Huo Beixiao's chest and nodded, not thinking about it any further.

Anyway, we'll deal with whatever comes our way. Hong Kong is a society governed by the rule of law, and they have powerful backers here, so there's no need to worry too much.

Meanwhile, a group of biker gang members had already gathered at their hideout to report to Qin Dadong.

After listening to the report from his underlings, Qin Dadong took a deep drag on his cigarette. "They're actually staying at the Dorsett Hotel. They must have some connections."

Which company provided the car that took them back to their hotel?

"The Rong family."

Upon hearing this, Qin Dadong did not furrow his brow any further.

After a moment's thought, he decisively said, "Let's not do this deal."

Upon hearing Qin Dadong's words, Jiang Yiran's hopeful heart immediately sank.

She felt not only annoyed, but also deeply contemptuous of Qin Dadong. What kind of trashy men had she encountered?

Qin Dadong is such a coward!

In the past, she would have expressed her disdain for men without hesitation.

But even though she was seething with hatred inside, she remained outwardly impassive after everything she had been through.

She looked at Qin Dadong with a puzzled expression and asked in a sweet voice, "Brother Dong, why can't we touch them just because the car that took them back is from the Rong family?"

It's quite rare to find someone from the mainland who has no roots in Hong Kong but still has so much money.

She nestled in Qin Dadong's arms, talking while her fingers teased his chest.

Qin Dadong grabbed her hand, kissed her hard on the cheek, and then explained, "They attended the Li family's banquet, but used the Rong family's car."

This suggests that they are closer to the Rong family than to the Li family, meaning they are very likely not just accomplices who infiltrated the Li family's banquet, but genuinely honored guests of the Li family.

In this situation, if we touch them, it's equivalent to offending both the Li and Rong families simultaneously. If things are exposed, the Li and Rong families won't even need to lift a finger; with just a word, my boss will have me tied up and sent to them.

"The Li family and the Rong family are just a little rich, right? How can they be so powerful? Even Brother Ji has to listen to them?" Jiang Yiran leaned into Qin Dadong's arms, blinking at him in confusion.

Her innocent yet alluring appearance made Qin Dadong's Adam's apple bob.

"Ranran, you're just too naive. You haven't been in Hong Kong long enough to understand it. Do you really think that all these big families in Hong Kong made their fortunes through legitimate business?"

Their underlings are far more ruthless than ours.

Besides, money talks. If we really went up against them, we wouldn't even be a dish in the ocean.

Qin Dadong is quite self-aware.

As he spoke, he impatiently dismissed his men and pounced on Jiang Yiran.

Jiang Yiran rolled her eyes and decided to take a gamble.

She placed her hands against Qin Dadong's chest.

Her eyes quickly filled with tears.

Qin Dadong's feelings for Jiang Yiran were not just romantic; they also stemmed from gratitude for her saving his life.

During a gang fight, he was slashed and nearly killed. If it weren't for Jiang Yiran saving him and taking care of him for a month, he would probably be dead by now.

Seeing Jiang Yiran like this, he panicked. "Ranran, what's wrong? Why are you crying? If you don't want to, I won't do anything to you. Don't cry, don't cry..."

Jiang Yiran sniffed, wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, and gently grasped Qin Dadong's hand. "Brother Dong, it's not that I don't want you, I just remembered what happened to me in the past."

Do you know why I risked becoming fish food by swimming all the way from the mainland to this port city?

Qin Dadong knew that Jiang Yiran had smuggled herself from the mainland, but when he asked her about her past, she didn't mention it.

He simply assumed that Jiang Yiran, like other mainlanders, thought Hong Kong was paved with gold and came here to strike it rich.

Jiang Yiran, looking heartbroken, recounted her past to Qin Dadong.

However, her words were only three parts truth and seven parts falsehood.

According to her, Yang Qiaoqiao seduced her fiancé and persecuted her in various ways, which led to her wealthy biological parents misunderstanding her and abandoning her.

Yang Qiaoqiao even falsely accused her of being a human trafficker, which led to her being wanted by the mainland police. In order to survive, she had no choice but to take the risk and swim across the sea to try to save her life.

As she spoke, she wiped away tears, her eyes red and swollen, looking incredibly pitiful.

After listening to her, Qin Dadong understood something. "Ranran, so who were those two people you asked me to do today?"

Jiang Yiran sniffled, crying, "She's my adoptive mother's biological daughter, and that man is my former fiancé..."

Hearing her words, Qin Dadong clenched his fists in anger. "What a pair of adulterers! Ranran, although I can't lead the brothers to fight them, I, your brother Dong, will avenge you!"

Qin Dadong had been involved in the underworld since he was a child, and had participated in countless gang fights, big and small.

He's seen blood before, and now when he gets ruthless, he exudes a fierce aura.

Jiang Yiran knew her strategy had worked.

She knew that at this point she should stop, retreat strategically, rather than add fuel to the fire.

So, she reached out and wrapped her arms around Qin Dadong's waist, hugging the man tightly, burying her head in his abdomen and shaking him slightly, "Brother Dong, no. I was just feeling resentful, and I couldn't feel better if I didn't tell you."

I also want revenge, but if revenge for me will put you in danger, then I'd rather not seek revenge.

Dong-ge, you are Ranran's only support now, Ranran can't lose you again..."
