The air seemed to freeze for a moment—

Fu Zelian said with a stern face, "No, this matter has nothing to do with A-Yu, he doesn't need to go."

Quan Ye turned his gaze to Xiao Yu, his eyes filled with arrogance and disdain, "Then let Second Young Master Fu decide for himself."

After listening to the assistant's brief explanation, Xiao Yu immediately said, "I'm willing to go! As long as I can rescue Ah Li and my sister-in-law, it's all worth doing."

Quan Ye raised an eyebrow at Fu Zelian, indicating that he himself had agreed.

Fu Zelian: "Are you sure? Bart is a dangerous and ruthless man. This trip is very dangerous."

“Brother, you’ve always protected me. I wanted to study medicine, and you let me. You took care of the company yourself. Now it’s my turn to protect you. I can’t keep hiding behind you like a coward. Besides, Ah Li and my sister-in-law are still in their hands. I can’t bear to see them get hurt…”

Quan Ye interrupted him coldly, "It's enough that you care about your sister-in-law; you don't need to care about anyone else."

Xiao Yu pursed her lips and remained silent.

Fu Zelian: "Alright, since you've decided to go, I'll arrange for my bodyguards to accompany you. Remember to be careful and prioritize safety."

"Brother, don't worry."

Xiao Yu nodded solemnly, then turned and walked away.

“President Quan, my brother and Miss Su are just friends. You don’t need to target him like this, do you?” Fu Zelian said, somewhat displeased.

"There can be pure friendship between men and women? I don't believe it."

Quan Ye spoke arrogantly and left with his men.

Outside a villa in the suburbs, foreign bodyguards in uniform stood in neat rows.

The security was so tight that not even a mosquito could get in.

The living room was filled with laughter and chatter, with men and women joking around.

"Boss, drink some more so you can sleep better later."

Three or four scantily clad women surrounded the man, seductively entwining him as he drank.

Bart leaned back on the sofa, enjoying himself immensely with women on either side of him.

"You ladies are so sweet, why don't you have a drink too?"

"Let's drink together!"

Bart's large hands roamed freely over their bodies, and the women swayed coyly in a delicate manner.

"boss."

His men came in from outside.

"I've brought you number one beauty."

"Let her in."

Bart sat up, one leg bent, staring at the woman his men had brought.

Meng Sangsang's hair was disheveled, her hands were tied behind her back with rope, and her feet were chained. Despite her disheveled state, her smooth and beautiful face was full of arrogance and defiance.

To everyone's dismay, these people actually put a number one badge on her.

Is this a beauty pageant?

"Is it you who kicked Old Liu's manhood out of place?"

Bart picked up the fruit knife on the table and asked as he cut fruit.

Meng Sangsang spat, "That thing, how dare he touch me? I kicked him in the groin, that's too lenient. I wanted to rip out his tendons and bleed him dry. Where is that bastard now? If you've got the guts, let him out so I can have some fun with him!"

A woman nearby said in a coquettish voice, "Oh dear, don't be so harsh. You're a young lady, be gentle."

"None of your business, shut up or I'll curse you!" Meng Sangsang retorted angrily.

She was already irritable from being caught here, and now she could finally vent her frustrations.

The woman gave a soft hum, shook Bart's arm coquettishly, and said, "Boss, look at her..."

"That's quite a boast."

Bart took a bite of his apple, glared at her, and said, "You little brat, how dare you be so arrogant in front of me? Do you even know who I am?"

"You are the leader of the rats in the sewage ditch, and you are a stinking, stinking rat!"
