Chapter 127: Chapter 126: Caught Eloping ... "Huh? Not here to do business, so why rush into the store?" Yan Xiaobao glanced around at the group of people. The group consisted entirely of young men in their early twenties, each with hostile expressions. They clearly didn’t look like customers, more like they came to stir up trouble. ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com "Looks like they’re here to collect a debt. Wife Qingqing, do you owe them money?" Yan Xiaobao said casually, "No worries, I’ll pay them back for you." At that moment, a Scarface stepped out from the crowd and shouted at Yan Xiaobao, "Hey! Who the hell are you?" "Is something wrong with your ears?" Yan Xiaobao shot him a glance, "I call her Wife Qingqing, so obviously I’m her husband." "Hey! How dare you say Brother Scar’s ears have problems? Believe it or not, I’ll rip yours off!" The group of men surrounded him aggressively. "What are you guys doing? We’re not here to cause trouble today." Scarface raised his hand to stop his men and smiled, "My ears are fine, I just hadn’t heard that Antique Street’s number one beauty Dong Yuqing got married, so I wanted to confirm that first." "Oh, now you’ve confirmed it. You can get lost." Yan Xiaobao said impatiently, "You’re ruining Wife Qingqing’s mood. If you don’t leave soon, I’ll beat the crap out of you." "Hahaha! This is fresh, really fresh. I haven’t even mentioned fighting yet, and now this kid is more eager than me." Scarface teased Yan Xiaobao, "I’ll stand right here without moving. Think you dare to make the first move?" Yan Xiaobao frowned. What’s with encountering another moron saying "Come at me if you’ve got the guts"? "Don’t fight inside my store!" Dong Yuqing stopped Yan Xiaobao. "Oh." Yan Xiaobao glanced around at the Fengshui Artifacts stacked everywhere and said, "Don’t worry, Wife Qingqing, I promise I won’t damage your store’s stuff." "It’s not just about breaking things," Dong Yuqing said seriously, "I don’t want any violence happening in my shop." "Oh, fine then, I won’t make a move." Yan Xiaobao nodded again, "I’ll call Wife Bingbing instead, and have her arrest all these troublemakers." "Arrest us?" Scarface sneered. "You think having connections at the Patrol Office means you can randomly arrest people? We haven’t hit anyone or smashed anything here—what grounds do you have to arrest us?" "Then what are you doing here?" Yan Xiaobao was genuinely puzzled. "You’re not here for business, nor to cause trouble. What’s the point in lounging around here; are you bored out of your minds?" "We’re looking for her brother," Scarface grinned darkly, "If she doesn’t hand him over, we’ll come here every day to ’reason’ with you people." "If you’re looking for her brother, then go find him! Why are you coming here?" Yan Xiaobao asked, at a loss. "Did her brother owe you money?" "Ask her." Scarface pointed his finger at Dong Yuqing. "Wife Qingqing, what’s going on?" Yan Xiaobao turned to Dong Yuqing and said, "Tell me. No matter what it is, I can settle it for you." Dong Yuqing, already disturbed to the limit by these "reasonable" thugs, told Yan Xiaobao everything. Dong Yuqing had a younger male cousin named Dong Ming, who was studying at a university in Binhai. Not long ago, he met a beautiful woman online. Soon, they met up in person and ended up in bed. But the woman wasn’t as simple as she appeared. She was actually Liu Zhen’s mistress—the very leader of this gang of thugs. A few days ago, Dong Ming’s affair with her was exposed, enraging Liu Zhen, who swore to kill Dong Ming. Fortunately, the woman did feel some genuine affection for Dong Ming and secretly called him, advising him to run away immediately. Thus, Dong Ming began his days of dodging and hiding. Terrified and unable to eat or sleep well, he had several close calls where he was nearly caught. On the verge of a mental breakdown, he finally thought of his cousin Dong Yuqing and sought her help. As his cousin, Dong Yuqing couldn’t just stand by, so she allowed Dong Ming to hide at her home. Dong Yuqing was financially stable and lived in a high-end residential area with good security. Liu Zhen couldn’t cause a commotion at her home openly, so he sent people to blockade her shop—the Fengshui Pavilion—to cut off its business and force her to hand over Dong Ming. With twenty or so thugs hanging around the shop, no customers dared to come in. Dong Yuqing was left helpless, and situations like this weren’t something the Patrol Office could easily deal with, since the gang wasn’t engaging in violence or damage—just lingering around. Even when officers managed to scare off one group, another would show up later. The Patrol Office couldn’t maintain a constant presence to guard the store. This is exactly why ordinary people avoid provoking thugs—once entangled with them, their persistence often becomes unbearable. After hearing everything, Yan Xiaobao scoffed in disdain, "That’s it? Can’t keep your own mistress under control, and then still have the audacity to cause trouble? Look at me—I’ve got so many wives, and none of them have ever run off!" "I’m done wasting my breath on you." Scarface decided Yan Xiaobao was simply odd and chose not to argue further. "In short, if you don’t hand over Dong Ming, we’ll wait here and see who lasts longer—us or you!" "Hey!" Yan Xiaobao lost patience. "If you guys don’t scram, then I’ll throw you all out myself." The twenty-something thugs behind Scarface immediately began clamoring, ready to teach the arrogant Yan Xiaobao a lesson. But just then, Scarface’s phone rang. He raised his hand to silence his men and answered the call. "Hello, Brother Zhen... What? You caught him... Okay, I’m heading over right now!" Scarface hung up the phone and waved, "Let’s go!" With a loud commotion, the group of thugs rushed out of the Heavenly Water Pavilion. Dong Yuqing’s expression changed drastically. She quickly dialed Dong Ming’s number. "Sister Qing! Please come save me!" Over the phone, Dong Ming’s voice was shaky and tearful as he begged, "They’re saying... saying they’re going to cut off my... my manhood and feed it to the dogs..." "Why didn’t you stay home to hide? Why did you run out?" Dong Yuqing was equal parts anxious and furious. "This morning, Xiao Xue called me, saying she wanted us to run away together, so I went out to see her... Who knew it was a setup... Sister Qing, you have to find a way to save me! I don’t want to become a eunuch!" Before Dong Ming could finish, the phone was suddenly taken over by a chilling male voice: "Miss Dong, if you don’t want your Dong Family to end with him, come to Room 338 at the Railway Hotel near the train station. You have half an hour. If you don’t show up, prepare to collect your brother’s little ’package.’ And if you dare inform the police, well... you know the consequences. Beep-beep-beep-beep..." ...
