Su Yuxi's heart skipped a beat when the other person suddenly opened their loud voice.
That fierce and threatening gaze made it seem as if he was about to rush over and hit her at any moment, and her body instinctively made her look for something to use as cover.
The nearest bunker is right next to us.
Almost reflexively, she turned and hid behind Fu Huaijin.
Fu Huaijin obediently blocked the person, his gaze towards Uncle Lu across the way filled with displeasure and reproach.
Su Yuxi is a contradictory person. You can say she's timid, yet she's willing to go to unknown places with you for money. You can also say she's bold, yet one fierce look from you can scare her out of her wits.
When Uncle Lu saw such a spineless woman, he snorted disdainfully, feeling that his earlier worries were completely unnecessary. She was just a greenhorn, and he didn't believe she could cause any trouble.
"Alright, alright, I know you're precious, come in." He left those words impatiently and turned to walk inside.
Fu Huaijin respected this man greatly and understood his temperament. She simply glanced at his disrespect and did not pursue the matter further.
He glanced back at Su Yuxi and said calmly, "Follow me. From now on, you can't be more than ten meters away from me."
"If you can do it, I'll give you a million tomorrow."
Seeing how simple it was, Su Yuxi quickly followed, feeling incredibly pleased with herself. She kept emphasizing, "You said it, you can't go back on your word. Going back on your word makes you a little dog."
"Um."
However, she soon regretted it.
She followed them into the row of houses, a house that already looked abnormal, and once inside, she discovered that the interior was also abnormal.
Whose house has a basement entrance inside?
She stood at the doorway, gazing at the corridor that seemed to stretch endlessly into the distance. In the dim light, it appeared even more unfathomable, inspiring fear in one's heart. Rather than a corridor, it was more like the gaping maw of a demon, its face contorted in a grotesque grimace, waiting for its prey to come to it willingly.
If you dare to go in, it can devour you in an instant.
Suddenly, Su Yuxi felt a sense of unease.
In the past, in the jungle, she would have fearlessly ventured into any cave, regardless of its location.
But she has been out for three years and has witnessed the cunning of human nature.
Just like what's shown on TV, these kinds of places are usually built for doing things that are not known to the public, and ordinary people would not know about them, let alone be able to get in.
Her relationship with Fu Huaijin wasn't really that close. Even if there was some ambiguous connection, it wasn't close enough for her to know his secrets.
It is said that only the dead will not reveal the secrets they know. If she goes into this place, will she never be able to come out again?
If he doesn't come out, he won't even have to pay the one million he promised.
Fu Huaijin descended two steps, but not hearing anyone following behind, he stopped, turned around, and extended his hand to her: "Su Yuxi, come here."
His voice wasn't loud, but in the quiet environment, it was deafening to her.
She was scared.
"I...can I not go?"
Even if you make a lot of money, you still need to be alive to collect it.
Fu Huaijin frowned slightly, a hint of displeasure flashing in his eyes. He wondered what kind of tantrum she was going to throw this time. They had already come this far, and there was absolutely no way back.
He walked back to her, grabbed her wrist tightly, his eyes filled with threat and warning, his voice low and powerful: "No, you should know that from the moment you got off the bus, there was no turning back."
"From now on, you just need to behave and you'll have endless money."
"I have more money than Lu Yunzhou. Do you want it or not?"
This is a blatant attempt to lure people with money.
Su Yuxi stared at him blankly, extracting important information from his words: they still had a future, which meant he wouldn't drag her down with him; he had a lot of money, and as long as she was obedient enough, he would give her all of it.
That should be the case.
"Then did you give more than Lu Yunzhou?" Over the years, she felt that she had been quite obedient. Even when he had affairs with other women, and even his first love, she never stopped him once.
Fu Huaijin knew her grand plan to make money, so it would be easy for him to manipulate her.
"nature."
"Can you come with me now?" Although he asked in a questioning tone, if she didn't agree, he would carry her inside.
Su Yuxi had enough sense to know this much, and now she was in a difficult situation, so she could only nod obediently.
She didn't cause any more trouble after that and obediently followed along. They walked through long corridors, took the elevator, and went through mechanical archways, winding their way through the maze of buildings, not knowing where they were going.
Along the way, they encountered many people, and everyone respectfully addressed Fu Huaijin as "Master Fu".
Fu Huaijin held his head high with arrogance, his face cold and his whole body exuding a chilling aura. He completely ignored the greetings from others and kept walking forward, displaying the majesty of a superior.
She followed at a distance that wasn't too close, but actually, more of her attention was on Fu Huaijin than on her, probably because she had never seen such a pretty young woman before.
Instantly, her back straightened even more.
She followed Fu Huaijin to a training ground.
Before even entering, one could hear deafening shouts and screams coming from inside, along with cheers, whistles, clapping, and jeering from onlookers who were fueling the emotions of the crowd.
Upon entering the gate, the pungent smell of male sweat and blood assaults the nostrils.
The first thing you see is a tense and exciting scene.
Standing on the central stage were four burly men dressed in neat shorts. Each of them had bulging muscles, protruding eyes, and fierce expressions, and every punch they threw seemed to be aimed at killing their opponent.
Unlike other boxers who wear gloves, they all fight bare-handed, drawing blood with every punch.
In their eyes, only physical combat constitutes a true contest.
I initially thought it was a two-on-two battle, but upon closer inspection, I realized it was one against three.
Despite having the numerical advantage of one against three, those three grown men were no match for the lone attacker.
Su Yuxi had seen other people fight before, but she had never seen people fight to the death. Watching their spectacular brawl, she muttered to herself, "That man is amazing. He fought all by himself and still managed to take them all down."
As soon as she finished speaking, she felt the man beside her's expression harden, his entire aura change, and he turned around and gave her a cold glare.
"You think he's very capable?"
Su Yuxi nodded: "He's very strong. Look at his broad back and thick waist, he's as strong as a bear. His fist can pound a hole in the ground, which means he's as strong as an ox. It's normal that those three couldn't beat him."
Fu Huaijin snorted coldly, indicating his dissatisfaction with her answer.
Uncle Lu led the way, and when everyone saw Fu Huaijin, they all made way for him, respectfully calling him Master Fu.
Ignoring everyone else, Fu Huaijin walked purposefully to the front of the arena, his cold and sinister eyes fixed on the man who looked like a bear.
