The group of Gu De hiding in the distance didn't realize they'd already been discovered.

Right now, they were stealthily watching Lin Ling'er.

As far as they were concerned, as long as they could actually capture her, they would have great success!

"It's destiny! It's destiny indeed!"

Gu De spoke excitedly...

At the same time, he was looking at Lin Ling'er from not far away with a face full of exhilaration.

Previously, for some unclear reason, Gu De found himself getting scolded thoroughly by Lin Chong...

This left him feeling down...

And troubled about how to salvage his image in front of Lin Chong!

After thinking over and over, Gu De couldn't come up with any good ideas...

Now, he knew there was no need to worry about this matter...

Because as long as he could bring this woman before Lin Chong, he'd definitely become an honored guest.

By then, all previous issues would be left behind...

...

Qi Lianlian and Lin Ling'er were both carefree girls.

So they had no idea they were being watched.

Right now, their thoughts were on buying various snacks to enjoy...

"Sometimes, being a tad carefree has its perks!"

Taking a glance at them, Xiaobei murmured to himself...

Following this, Xiaobei continued to keep pace with the two...

Of course, he also kept observing the others, their every move watched by Xiaobei...

After half an hour, Xiaobei was ready to leave with them, as they had finished visiting the place...

A dozen steps out, Xiaobei turned his head back somewhat exasperatedly...

At that instant, Xiaobei spoke slightly helplessly, "Don't you want to leave yet? We've strolled this street twice already!"

Xiaobei was indeed somewhat helpless at the moment because they were reluctant to leave!

Upon hearing Xiaobei's helpless remark, Qi Lianlian responded a bit awkwardly, "Brother Xiaobei, I... I actually want to go! But— but I just can't step away! How about... how about we buy two more skewers of candied fruits."

Hearing this rather excited suggestion, Xiaobei sighed!

"Alright, if you want, then go ahead."

"Mhm!"

Agreeing happily, she dragged Lin Ling'er to a nearby stall again...

Xiaobei sighed silently once more!

Two minutes later, Xiaobei left with the pair, happiness etched on their faces.

Of course, this time they all held two freshly bought skewers of candied fruits.

...

"Judging by this, they completely haven't noticed us!"

"Not noticing is normal! They're just ordinary people; how could they possibly detect us!"

"Exactly!"

After Xiaobei left with the two, the four quietly positioned themselves here...

Now, they felt very confident!

They believed they hadn't been discovered at all...

In reality, from the moment they first appeared, Xiaobei spotted them immediately...

If they knew this, they'd feel incredibly embarrassed...

Listening to them babbling, Gu De frowned deeply.

Soon, he spoke irritably, "Stop babbling here, let's catch up quickly, wait to see where they're heading, then find a deserted spot and act fast to grab her, got it?"

Gu De knew the most important thing now was capturing her...

Aside from that, nothing else mattered!

Upon hearing this definite low-pitched admonition, they looked toward Gu De!

"Young Master Gu, don't worry! We've done this kind of thing many times already!"

"Indeed, Young Master Gu! We can definitely handle it!"

"Right! Right!"

Before now, offerings like this to capture people for him were something they'd done several times!

So, they were extremely confident.

To them, when the three act together later on, the other party would have no time to react...

Upon hearing this excited assurance, he glanced at them and gently nodded!

"Mhm, I hope nothing goes wrong, otherwise I won't be so agreeable!"

After saying this, he was the first to follow...

"Mistake? How could there possibly be mistakes with this!"

"That's right!"

After saying this, the three exchanged a glance and quickly followed...

...

"They've caught up! Seems like they really have some plans!"

Xiaobei glanced behind him and soon squinted.

The reason Xiaobei was murmuring like this now was because he sensed the four approaching quickly.

He knew they definitely had some designs, otherwise, they wouldn't follow so eagerly!

Retracting his gaze, Xiaobei looked at Qi Lianlian and Lin Ling'er...

At that moment, Xiaobei started to speculate.

Xiaobei knew Qi Lianlian was here for the first time, so she couldn't have any enemies.

Even so, the way these people chased indicated they definitely targeted Lin Ling'er!

"Forget it! Don't overthink! No matter whom they chase, it doesn't matter; they are destined to fail."

Muttering this to himself, Xiaobei relaxed again!

Earlier, Xiaobei had observed them carefully.

Therefore, Xiaobei knew they were relatively ordinary people.

Hence, let alone four, even forty or four hundred couldn't have any chance in front of him.

So unless they refrain from acting, they are really just making fools of themselves!

"Brother Xiaobei, what are you thinking?"

Hearing the somewhat curious inquiry, Xiaobei raised his head to look at Qi Lianlian.

Noticing her puzzlement, Xiaobei lightly shook his head.

"Nothing, I'm not thinking about anything!"

Xiaobei knew that the fact there were several people chasing behind was better off not shared with them!

Otherwise, it would just cause them unnecessary worry...

Listening to Xiaobei's explanation, Qi Lianlian seemed skeptical!

Soon, she directly said, "You're not thinking about anything? Then why have you been frowning since just now! Could it be... it's because we spent a lot earlier, and you're distressed about it?"

Hearing such speculation, Xiaobei was bemused!

Rolling his eyes, Xiaobei responded directly, "My dear sister, don't say it's just this little bit you ate before — even if you bought up the entire food street, I wouldn't frown!"

Xiaobei knew he might not be from the richest batch, but definitely belonged to those with substantial assets...

To be honest, even if she bought all the food from that street, Xiaobei wouldn't furrow his brow...

"Oh! Then why are you unhappy?"

She kept pressing with more questions, so Xiaobei prepared to make up an excuse...

Just as he started to speak, Xiaobei heard the absolutely hasty footsteps...

In a flash, Xiaobei squinted his eyes!

He knew the group catching up behind was really about to make a move!

With this thought, Xiaobei looked around and realized it was indeed a sparsely populated place.

Thus, it's only natural they chose to act here.

Earlier, Xiaobei anticipated these Kenghuos would make a move, thus his face remained calm...

But the two by Xiaobei's side were unaware of this, so once surrounded, they were a bit bewildered, completely unsure of the situation at hand!

"Brother Xiaobei, this..."

When Qi Lianlian nervously spoke, Xiaobei waved his hand and calmly said, "No worries, I've got this covered!"

After saying this, Xiaobei turned to face the four calmly!

Soon, Xiaobei chuckled lightly, "You couldn't resist making a move, huh! Seems patience isn't your strong suit! I thought you could hold out a bit longer!"

Hearing Xiaobei's indifferent tease, they furrowed their brows.

Soon, they stared uniformly at Xiaobei.

Simultaneously, Gu De spoke, "What do you mean by that? Could it be that you've noticed us before?"

Upon hearing such an astonished inquiry, Xiaobei gently nodded.

"That's right, I spotted you from the moment you appeared on the food street. But I didn't know your intentions, so I kept watching. Now you couldn't help but reveal yourselves."

Listening to this soft explanation, they frowned...

Yet soon, they relaxed.

They felt it didn't matter even if they were discovered since they had cornered them...

With this thought, Gu De spoke coldly, "Should I call you clever or call you a fool? You noticed us earlier, yet didn't run? Are you waiting for us to make a move? Do you think you alone can handle the four of us?"
