I opened my eyes, and everything in front of me was pitch black.
Gong Beize tried hard to recall what had happened before.
He could have easily taken down those people with his abilities, but he was worried that he wouldn't be able to protect Dongfang Tinglan and the others. In addition, his people were falling one after another, and someone took advantage of the situation.
His last memory was of being hit on the back with a stick, and then everything went black. When he woke up again, he was in this place.
It was pitch black all around, and I couldn't see anything.
Gong Beize guessed that his upper body was covered by something and his hands were tied behind his back.
He didn't move around because he didn't want the other person to know that he was awake and thus become wary of him.
Before taking action against this group, he asked them what their purpose was.
But the other party did not tell him.
Just as Gong Beize was pondering what to do, he suddenly heard a conversation coming from ahead.
"Boss, why did the master suddenly change his mind and want to take these people back?"
"Don't ask what you shouldn't ask, or you might lose your head!"
The man immediately chuckled and said, "I know, boss, I'll definitely do my job well."
Well, we don't know what's going on with our master. Before, he just told us to keep an eye on things, but suddenly he changed his mind.
I just wanted to sound them out, because I'm worried that I might not know anything and end up doing or saying the wrong thing in front of my master.
After saying that, he handed a few banknotes to the boss.
The boss saw the money and gave the man a "you're smart" look.
The leader took it and stuffed it into his wallet, then leaned closer and said, "This needs to be kept a secret, otherwise even I can't save you."
The man nodded hurriedly, "I know, boss, go ahead."
"We just received news that the boss is dead, and Brother Leopard has been provoked by his enemy, which is why we decided to move ahead of schedule."
The man exclaimed, "The boss is dead?"
The leader nodded. "Yes, I heard it from one of my brothers who works with Brother Leopard. Apparently, the other side deliberately left one survivor to go back and relay a message, which infuriated Brother Leopard."
"Since you're so sensible, I'm telling you to keep quiet and watch your eyes when you get back, just do your job and don't cause any trouble at this critical juncture."
Upon hearing this, the man quickly nodded and said, "Yes, yes, thank you for your guidance, boss. I will definitely keep it in mind."
The man then fell silent.
After all, everything that needed to be explained has already been explained.
The rest is not his concern.
The man suddenly leaned closer and said, "Boss, now that the boss is in trouble, are you...?"
"Shut up!" The man gave him an unpleasant look. "I just told you that, and you've already forgotten? Be careful what you say."
The man was somewhat unhappy after being reprimanded.
His intention was to flatter the emperor, but he ended up being scolded instead.
He said somewhat reluctantly, "Yes, boss, you're wrong."
Gong Beizhe, who was in the back of the car, heard the entire conversation between the two.
An enemy? Brother Leopard?
What's going on?
Gong Beize was completely baffled.
Suddenly realizing something, Gong Beize frowned.
This matter is probably related to Xue'er and the others.
...
The vehicle suddenly stopped.
"Boss, there are people checking ahead."
The man looked over at the sound and saw people in uniforms standing on the road leading into the city.
The man frowned. "That person must know we took her people away."
The person in the driver's seat asked, "So what do we do now? If we're checked while the people are still in the car, we definitely won't be able to escape."
The man fell into thought, then suddenly noticed a side path and said, "Turn right, take the side path."
"Yes, sir." The driver immediately turned the steering wheel and drove away.
Gong Beize, who was behind, knew that the people who were blocking the road to investigate must be their people. However, he had no way to get out of the car and could only watch helplessly as his kidnappers took him away.
After walking for a while, they saw nothing unusual behind them.
The driver said, "Boss, what do we do now? It seems we can't get into the city."
Hearing this, the man pondered for a moment, "I'll contact Brother Leopard and see what he has to say."
After saying that, the man took out his phone and made a call.
Once the call connected, he told Brother Leopard about the situation.
"Useless! You can't even handle such a small matter! What use are you to me!"
Leopard's angry curses came from the other end of the phone.
The man heard this, but didn't dare to say a word.
It wasn't until Brother Leopard had been cursing for a long time and finally ran out of steam that he finally spoke.
"Since you can't come back, find a safe place and keep a close eye on them. Don't ruin my plans, and don't let them escape, or you won't need to come back!"
The man replied, "Yes, Brother Leopard, I will keep a close eye on this person and will not affect your plans."
After hanging up the phone, some of the people who had given the man money earlier felt sorry for him.
"Boss, how could Brother Leopard be like this! Even though we're his underlings, he doesn't treat us like human beings at all. Besides, how can we be blamed for this?"
Upon hearing this, the man, unusually, did not reprimand him.
He was indeed angry and resentful, but he had nowhere to vent his anger.
And this person's words perfectly expressed what was on his mind.
After a long pause, the man finally spoke, “Alright, let’s get this done first. Don’t forget, this isn’t our territory. We need to be extra careful, or we might both lose our lives.”
Upon hearing this, the man felt both frightened and resentful, yet he also understood that what the man said was true.
He then said, "Okay, boss, I'll listen to you."
Seeing this from behind the car, Gong Beize became even more certain that this group of people were definitely after Xue'er.
By now, Xue'er and the others should have found Lan'er and the others.
As long as they're alright, that's all that matters. I'm a grown man, tough as nails, a little hardship is nothing to me.
He believed that his daughter was already actively searching for him.
All he could do next was protect himself and wait for rescue.
...
Meanwhile, Gong Yixue had indeed begun to focus on finding Gong Beize.
The courtyard has now been restored to its former appearance.
Apart from the broken furniture, everything else has been restored.
At this moment, Gong Yixue was sitting in front of her laptop, her eyes fixed on the screen, her slender fingers flying across the keyboard.
Many frames appeared on the computer screen at the same time; upon closer inspection, they turned out to be various road surveillance cameras.
However, this time, Gong Yixue was authorized and could legitimately access the surveillance footage.
A moment later, Gong Yixue suddenly saw something, cleared all the picture frames on the desktop, and then zoomed in on a surveillance video.
"Found it."
Hearing the sound, Ye Mohan walked over and watched with Gong Yixue.
Gong Yixue pointed to the surveillance screen, "Look here."
