Zhao Fangchu held the pancakes in his arms and put them in the basket on the cart, covered it, and sat at the back of the cart looking at the crowd to see if Yang Donghu and the others had found this place.

Several people across the street looked at Zhao Fangchu for a long time and witnessed him counting out dozens of coins from his purse. The purse was still heavy, so the amount of money inside must be considerable.

Moreover, this young man is good-looking. If they can seize the opportunity to kidnap him and sell him to a caravan or a brothel, they can get a lot of money. At least for the next three months, they won't have to worry about food and drink.

The three men were discussing something in a low voice with greed in their eyes. After confirming that there was no one following Zhao Fangchu, they pretended to buy cakes and came around from the other side of the street one after another.

"Give me a pancake and put more chili oil on it."

One of them had dark skin, a rough voice, and a rather honest look. He deliberately walked in front of the cart, and seeing that Zhao Fangchu was completely unprepared, he took advantage of the situation and kicked the wheel of the cart.

Zhao Fangchu was not careful for a moment and almost fell off the cart. At this time, a pair of hands reached out from the side and supported his shaky body.

"Are you okay?"

Zhao Fangchu shuddered all over, and after standing firm, he immediately distanced himself from the person in front of him and shook his head with a vigilant look.

"Don't be afraid, I don't mean any harm. I'm just worried you might get hurt, so I want to take a look for you."

This man looked like a pale-faced scholar with a refined demeanor, but his behavior was quite frivolous. While speaking, he even came over to grab Zhao Fangchu's hand.

It was impossible to get into a fight with a stranger on the street. Zhao Fangchu walked around to the back of the cart and said in a serious tone, "Get out of here! My family will be here soon."

The man didn't get what he wanted this time, but he didn't get angry. He said, "Oh, so that's how it is. I won't bother you anymore. Goodbye."

Zhao Fangchu was relieved to see that he really turned around and left without further entanglement, but before he could recover, he touched his waist and found that his purse had been stolen at some point.

It must be the person from before. He took advantage of the opportunity when he was helping me to steal my purse. His hands were so fast that no one noticed. He must be an old hand.

Zhao Fangchu subconsciously took two steps forward in a hurry, and only stopped suddenly when he saw the man squeeze out of the crowd and go into an alley. He knew that someone who could commit such a theft was definitely not a good person. That place was extremely remote, and there might be accomplices inside. If he went there rashly, he didn't know who would be waiting for him inside.

But Zhao Fangchu couldn't swallow the anger of watching his purse fall into the hands of others. Before he could think of a solution, the rough man next to him bought some cakes and stood in front of him.

This person was tall and stood in front of him like a human wall. Zhao Fangchu looked up in confusion. For some reason, the eyes he looked at this person were really scary, which did not match his honest appearance at all.

A strange feeling suddenly surged from the bottom of his heart. Zhao Fangchu instinctively knew that this man was not a good person. Sure enough, the villain said loudly with a grim smile on his face: "Why did you run out? Come back with me."

As she said this, she was about to put her arm around his shoulders.

Zhao Fangchu took a step back and dodged his hand: "Who are you? I don't know you."

There were already people standing nearby watching. The man pointed to his head and said to the people beside him: "This is my little brother. He has had a bad brain since he was young and has been locked up at home. I don't know how he managed to get out today."

"You're talking nonsense! I don't know you, you're a kidnapper." Zhao Fangchu wanted to run away after he said that, but the man grabbed his arm first.

When the onlookers heard Zhao Fangchu mention the kidnapper, their faces changed. Someone nearby didn't believe it and asked suspiciously, "Is he really your brother?"

Zhao Fangchu struggled a few times, but the man's grip was so strong that it clamped his arm tightly like a pair of iron pliers. He was so anxious that tears were about to fall: "I'm not that person. He's a kidnapper and a thief. He's in cahoots with the man who just stole my wallet."

The villain's face changed when he heard this. He raised his hand to cover Zhao Fangchu's mouth and shouted fiercely to the others, "Get out of here! Stop meddling in other people's business!"

He was much stronger and taller than the men around him, and his threat frightened everyone around him into silence, as no one wanted to get involved in trouble.

Zhao Fangchu's face was full of despair, but fortunately he was prepared this time. While the villain was threatening others, he bit the man's arm.

He bit hard, and the villain screamed in pain and let go.

Zhao Fangchu took advantage of this opportunity to quickly step back and run, shouting for help. He glanced back as he ran away. The villain shook his hand in pain and chased after him with a curse: "You stinky bitch, you dare to bite me? When I catch you, I will tear all your teeth out."

There were so many people on the street that he would be blocked after running a few steps. In a hurry, Zhao Fangchu turned and tried to run into the restaurant.

The waiters here have seen him before, and the restaurant is different from the outside world. If someone causes trouble inside, the owner will never stand idly by.

But he was not as fast as the villain. When he was about to step into the restaurant, the man's vicious voice was already behind him.

Zhao Fangchu rushed forward with his eyes closed regardless of anything. He had only one thought in his mind, which was that he must not be caught, otherwise he would be finished.

Just when the villain was about to stretch out his hand to grab Zhao Fangchu's collar, Zhao Fangchu felt someone in front of him grab his arm and pull it back, barely avoiding the villain's attack.

"Who are you to stand in front of me? Get out of here before I get angry, or I'll take care of you too."

Yang Anchen stood in front of Zhao Fangchu without retreating. He snorted coldly when he heard the words: "What a big tone! I want to see how you can be so rude."

The villain looked around and suddenly realized that this was not the same as arresting someone on the street. Arresting someone here might make things worse. Although the man in front of him looked weak, he did not seem to be a coward.

The villain saw the situation clearly and changed his tone, saying, "What do you mean? This is my family matter. This guy is a poor-minded kid who ran away from home. It's not right for you to keep him behind your back."

Zhao Fangchu poked his head out from behind Yang Anchen and cursed angrily: "You are the one with a bad brain, and your whole family has bad brains."

As he spoke, he tugged at the corner of Yang Anchen's clothes: "I don't know him, he's a kidnapper."

Yang Anchen looked down at the frightened boy, who was clutching his sleeve tightly and refusing to let go, trying his best to hide behind him to gain a sense of security. A strange sense of satisfaction surged in his heart, and he smiled and whispered to comfort him: "I know."

But when facing the villain, he changed his expression and said coldly: "You said you are his family, then let me ask you, what is his name? How old is he? Where does he live? Who are you to him? Do you have any witnesses?"

The villain was confused by the series of questions and could not answer them. Some diners with unfriendly faces were watching and making a fuss.

"Yeah, you can't just say you're this guy's family. Only if you answer those questions will it be considered credible."

"Yes, tell me, tell me quickly."
