Hearing Yao Yan'er's slightly annoyed voice, they exchanged glances and continued teasing...

"They're talking nonsense? Then why didn't you refute them just now!"

"That's right!"

Feeling somewhat guilty, Yao Yan'er bit her soft lip and said softly, "I... I didn't refute because I was worried they would recognize me!"

"Oh, so that's how it is!"

Upon hearing their meaningful 'Oh,' Yao Yan'er, a bit peeved, stamped her delicate foot. Soon after, she quickly walked ahead...

Murong Qingqing and the others gave her a look, smiled, and quickly followed...

Before long, they began to merrily hop from one shop to another...

Unbeknownst to the delighted group, four pairs of eyes were closely watching their every move...

...

"That dogshit Hu Xiaobei, what merits does he have to have so many beautiful confidantes!"

Looking at Murong Qingqing and the others with their perfect figures and flawless faces, a furious Yamamoto-kun cursed loudly...

Previously, after investigating Hu Xiaobei's information, he knew Hu Xiaobei was quite popular with women!

At the time, he didn't pay it much mind...

But now, he was forced to care, because in his view, it wasn't just that Hu Xiaobei had good luck with women—it was good luck with goddesses!

Hearing Yamamoto-kun's venomous curses, the three others quickly spoke to placate him!

"Yamamoto-kun, don't be depressed! Once we catch them all, they'll be ours! Then you can do whatever you want!"

"That's right!"

Hearing their words, Yamamoto-kun's twisted face pondered for a moment...

Instantly, he showed a sinister smile.

"Indeed! After we catch them, we can do whatever we want!"

With that in mind, he rubbed his hands together and said, "Make sure you do it swiftly when you make your move, got it?"

Upon hearing Yamamoto-kun's instructions, they nodded and quickly assured him, "Don't worry! We've done this sort of thing before, so we won't disappoint you!"

Pleased with their response, Yamamoto-kun nodded and then spoke again, "Right, but don't touch them yet when we do it, got it?"

"Can't we have a little fun with them first?"

"That's right!"

Hearing their eager responses, Yamamoto-kun frowned and said coldly, "Idiots, what's the point of touching them now! It will be much more interesting if we torture them right in front of Hu Xiaobei, won't it?"

"This... that's true!"

With that thought, they suddenly laughed meaningfully...

Seeing them laugh, Yamamoto-kun began to fantasize about the future.

In his vision, Hu Xiaobei was already kneeling on the ground, begging for mercy...

...

"Why do I always have this bad feeling? I hope it's just an illusion!"

On the second floor of the fruit and vegetable specialty store, Hu Xiaobei slightly furrowed his brow...

Since a little while ago, he had a very bad premonition, he didn't know why, but he felt a heavy sense of unease!

Just as he was about to go downstairs to take a look around, Hu Xiaobei's phone on the table started to vibrate rapidly.

He glanced at the phone screen and quickly picked up the phone!

Afterwards, Hu Xiaobei immediately answered the call.

"Qingqing, weren't you and Yan'er out shopping? How did you find time to call me?"

Indeed!

The phone number displayed on the screen belonged to Murong Qingqing...

"I'm calling you, of course, because I miss you!"

Hearing the chillingly sarcastic voice coming from the earpiece, Hu Xiaobei's face suddenly turned extremely ugly.

Because he knew the person on the other end was definitely not Murong Qingqing!

"Who are you?"

He inquired coldly, standing up expressionless!

No sooner had he asked this than a cold sneer came through the earpiece...

"Aiyo, some people really do forget things too easily! We just had a run-in not too long ago, and you've already forgotten me? This really breaks my heart!"

After listening carefully, Hu Xiaobei finally remembered the voice mocking him; it was one of the four ninjas he had driven off earlier.

Clutching his fists tightly, Hu Xiaobei spoke expressionlessly, "How come Qingqing's phone is with you?"

"Guess what! Never mind, your IQ will never figure it out! Let me tell you, you have half an hour to come to the woods outside the town. If you don't show up after half an hour, then don't blame me for being impolite!"

Hu Xiaobei, upon hearing the threat and just as he was about to retort, found that the other side had already hung up the call.

"It's all because I was too soft-hearted before!"

After placing his phone on the table, Hu Xiaobei let out a furious roar!

He knew that if he had dealt with those trash directly before, Murong Qingqing and the others wouldn't have fallen into danger now...

"Wait for me, just you wait, if they lose even a hair from their head, I'll make you regret being alive in this world!"

As Hu Xiaobei made this frenzied vow, he quickly left the scene...

...

In the woods outside the city, Yamamoto-kun hung up the phone, whistling a little tune!

At this moment, he was in high spirits, because he knew that very soon he would be able to settle both new and old scores with Hu Xiaobei!

Just as he was smugly humming the tune, he heard footsteps, turned his head, and saw three of his men approaching rapidly.

"Yamamoto-kun, how did it go?"

"Yeah, is Hu Xiaobei coming?"

"Right, right!"

Hearing their eager questions, Yamamoto-kun glanced at them and said, "He should arrive very soon! Before, when he heard my voice, he became frantic. Now, I bet he's rushing over here with all he's got! Let's wait, and when the time comes, we can really torment him!"

"Great!"

After hearing Yamamoto-kun's words, the excitement made all three of them clench their fists...

Previously, all three had been scared to the point of wetting their pants by Hu Xiaobei...

Because of that, they absolutely despised Hu Xiaobei; hence, now they were prepared to take their vicious revenge.

They understood that Hu Xiaobei was strong, but they were still neither panicked nor afraid.

Because they knew they had caught his Achilles' heel!

With that thought, the three men turned their heads to look at the women tied to the trees...

At that moment, their eyes blazed with desire!

They really wanted to take them right then and there...

But they knew they couldn't, not yet, because they still needed to use the women to threaten Hu Xiaobei.

After they had dealt with Hu Xiaobei completely, they would have all the time in the world to play with the women...

...

"I'm sorry it's come to this; it's all my fault!"

While the three men were wildly fantasizing, Yao Yan'er glanced at Murong Qingqing and the others and began to speak with deep remorse!

She knew that they had been captured all because of her...

Hearing Yao Yan'er's apologies, they quickly comforted her.

"Sister Yan'er, what are you talking about! How can we blame you?"

"Exactly, it's those trash we should blame!"

"Right!"

"But..."

"No buts! Master Xiaobei will come to rescue us soon!"

"Yeah!"

"Let's just pretend we're out here to relax for a bit."

"This..."

At their optimistic words, Yao Yan'er didn't know what to say.

She turned her head and glanced at Mu Zhenzhen, noticing that Mu Zhenzhen also looked unruffled...

"Sister Zhenzhen, you... you're not afraid?"

Mu Zhenzhen looked at Yao Yan'er and gently shook her head, "Not afraid!"

"Why?"

With a slight lift of the corner of her mouth and a glint in her eyes, Yao Yan'er declared, "Because Master Xiaobei will come to rescue us very soon!"

Previously, Mu Zhenzhen had witnessed Hu Xiaobei's strength, so she knew there was truly no need to be afraid.

All they needed to do was wait quietly for him...

Hearing Mu Zhenzhen's excited words, Yao Yan'er narrowed her eyes slightly, "Is Master Xiaobei really that amazing?"

As she mused to herself, Yao Yan'er subconsciously gazed into the distance...

In that moment, she squinted her eyes...

Because then she saw Hu Xiaobei approaching with a stern face, moving swiftly towards them...

"So handsome!"

Admiring silently, Yao Yan'er was about to say something when she saw the four ninjas who had kidnapped her and the others walking towards them with sneers on their faces...

"Master Xiaobei, you must be careful!"

As Yao Yan'er silently prayed, Hu Xiaobei and his opponents locked eyes with each other...

"Hu Xiaobei, you've got guts, you know. I thought you would shrink away like a turtle! I didn't expect you to actually dare to come!"

At his mockery, Hu Xiaobei curled his lip, "A shrinking turtle? You think I'm you?"

"You... sharp-tongued! I'll make you die right away!"

With a cold laugh, Yamamoto-kun turned to look at his subordinates...

Understanding his intentions, they took out their sharp shuriken with a cruel expression...
