Yingzi in the car was also taken aback. She opened the car door and quickly jumped out, as the situation felt a bit tense. Fei Hu couldn't help but clench his fists, preparing for a fight.
"Brother Tiger! What are you doing here?" Xiaojie opened the passenger door of the truck and saw a young woman wearing a sun hat jump down with her voice.
Fei Hu took a closer look and realized, oh wow! This girl was none other than Xiao Qi. With her wide-brimmed hat, he didn't recognize her at first. Fei Hu finally relaxed his anxious heart and said somewhat unhappily, "Can't you be a little gentler? Are you trying to scare someone to death?"
"Come on, as if I could scare you to death. I saw you from far away and told the driver to speed up because I was afraid I wouldn't catch up with you!" Xiao Qi exclaimed joyfully upon seeing Fei Hu, bouncing around like a little rabbit. She smiled at Yingzi, giving her a brief greeting. The dynamics between women can be subtle, and sometimes Fei Hu truly didn't understand.
After pondering for a moment, Fei Hu said to Xiao Qi, "I was just thinking of heading over there. Can your car give me a ride for a bit? It saves me from walking in this scorching weather; just moving around makes me sweat." As he spoke, Fei Hu wiped the sweat from his forehead.
"Giving you a ride is no problem, but you can't come into our factory. Sister Lian called you all night last night, but the calls didn't go through. What's wrong with you these days? You're such a worry," Xiao Qi began reprimanding Fei Hu like an adult scolding a child.
Fei Hu's heart sank as he anxiously asked, "Why can't I go into your factory? What exactly happened?"
"These past few days, people have been wandering around our factory entrance from day to night. According to Sister Lian, they are looking for you and it seems they won't be leaving anytime soon. Sister Lian's calls last night were meant to warn you not to come to our factory in the next few days; she fears these people might cause some big trouble," Xiao Qi said while keeping an eye on Fei Hu's reaction, seemingly very concerned about him.
Yingzi stepped forward and nodded at Fei Hu, saying, "Did you hear that? You’re in a tight spot now; it’s safer to come back with me."
"Hmph! I don’t believe this nonsense. A City is so big; there really isn’t a place for me, Fei Hu? I’m not going back to your factory; just take me to Citizen Intersection," Fei Hu replied as he opened the door of the small pickup truck and jumped inside.
Xiao Qi helplessly waved at Yingzi, but when she reached the door of the truck, she froze. The truck was small with only two seats in the front; once Fei Hu sat down, there was no room left for her. Was she supposed to squat in the cargo bed? In this hot weather, sitting in the front would make her sweat profusely. If she ended up in the cargo bed, it would be unbearable.
The driver was a middle-aged man in his forties who awkwardly nodded at Xiao Qi and said, "Get in! Let him shift over a bit; you can sit on his lap if needed. It’s only about ten minutes to Citizen Intersection; let’s all make do."
Fei Hu thought about it and found the driver's arrangement reasonable since there was no other option given the size of the truck. With that thought, he reached out his hand toward Xiao Qi. She shyly glanced at him before grabbing his hand and jumping up. The only place left for her was on Fei Hu's lap. The driver chuckled and started driving. Yingzi watched from the roadside, her eyes fixed on Fei Hu inside the truck, feeling the anger radiating from her gaze.
The car was speeding along quickly. At first, Xiao Qi was hesitant to sit back comfortably, but as time went on, she couldn't hold back any longer. Her round and smooth Curvy Hips pressed firmly against Fei Hu's thigh, and it felt quite pleasant.
After a little over ten minutes, they arrived at their destination. To be honest, Fei Hu really wished this moment could last forever. Having such a beautiful woman sitting on his lap was truly a delightful experience. However, such good fortune didn't come often. The car stopped at Citizen Intersection, and Fei Hu reluctantly got out, waving goodbye to Xiao Qi before walking ahead.
Since this was an intersection, it was easy to hail a taxi, and Fei Hu quickly flagged down a car heading into the city. As the vehicle started moving, he realized he wasn't sure where to go. He decided to call Xia Yan instead and also check on her situation from yesterday. With that thought in mind, Fei Hu dialed Xia Yan's number. On the other end of the line, Xia Yan sounded very irritated as she shouted, "Why are you calling me? You don't even ask if I'm alive or dead! And you made your phone unreachable—who does that?"
"Hey! Can you think for a moment? What kind of situation do you think I was in yesterday? How could I call you? I just got out and called you right away, but I didn't expect you to react like this," Fei Hu replied with a tone full of helplessness.
Xia Yan paused for a moment before saying, "I'm sorry! I was really scared yesterday and worried about you, which is why I reacted so strongly. But we really can't meet because I'm being followed; there are people trailing me wherever I go. I'm terrified."
"Damn it!" Fei Hu cursed angrily and hung up the phone.
The driver glanced at Fei Hu and said, "Where to, sir? We're about to go under the Overpass."
Where should he go? Fei Hu's mind raced as he bit his lip and said, "Gaolin Apartment." The driver nodded and pressed the accelerator, speeding down the road.
Going to someone else's place could bring trouble; perhaps it would be better to return to his Rental house for the night first. Fei Hu instructed the driver to stop near the community, then slowly walked over. Although he wore a sun hat and sunglasses, he still feared being recognized. He was very cautious, scanning both sides of the community constantly, worried that someone might be hiding nearby.
Just as Fei Hu was about to enter the community, a woman approached him—it was none other than his beautiful neighbor Alice. Just as he intended to greet her, she hurried past without even glancing at him. Shortly after Alice walked away, two blond men appeared behind her, following her toward her Porsche.
Fei Hu quickly ducked to the side of the road and turned sharply, walking briskly in another direction. It seemed he couldn't return to his Rental house; those individuals shouldn't be tailing Alice; they might be following her because of him. The thought sent a shiver down his spine. Those people were quite skilled! Given his relationship with Alice, they had managed to investigate him too; it seemed these individuals were not simple.
Leaning against a wall, Fei Hu called Alice's phone. On the line, Alice asked anxiously, "Fei Hu! Where are you? Are you okay? There have been some unidentified blond men loitering around your door these past few days, and someone is tailing me too. What is going on? It's making me afraid to go home."
"It's fine; if you're scared to go home, just stay at the beauty salon for now! You have places to stay anyway. Don't pay attention to those flies; they'll disappear after a while. It's okay; just relax," Fei Hu gently reassured Alice over the phone.
Noticing that Alice seemed to be driving, Fei Hu exchanged a few more words before hanging up. Where should he go now? The roads were all blocked off. Suddenly remembering Sun Li, he thought he should give her a call to check if she was alright; after all, he couldn't let her get dragged into this mess either.
The phone rang for quite a while before it connected. Fei Hu quickly asked, "What's going on? Is it really that much trouble to answer a phone call?"
"What's wrong? Do you want to control me from afar? I just finished taking a shower and was drying my hair when your call came in. I really didn't want to answer. Who do you think you are, treating my place like a hotel? You come and go as you please without even a heads-up. Is there anyone like you?" Sun Li on the other end of the line was clearly upset. What had she done to deserve this? But thinking back, she was right; he should have called her when he left her house. He always expected others to care about him but never took the initiative to check on them. This was Fei Hu's biggest flaw.
After chuckling lightly into the phone, Fei Hu said, "Since you don't care about me anyway, if I leave, then I leave. No need for a call; I wouldn't want to disturb your work, right?"
"You jerk! Who do you think I am that I should always be concerned about you? Get it straight; if you still don't understand by now, don't come next time," Sun Li said angrily over the phone.
Fei Hu's mind raced, and a mischievous idea popped up. He laughed and said to Sun Li, "I'm already here, right at the entrance of your community, but I can't get in. It's up to you now."
"Don't rush me; I'll put on some clothes and come get you," Sun Li replied cheerfully over the phone. It seemed her earlier words were just meant to scare him.
Hearing this made Fei Hu very happy. He quickly said, "Thank you, dear! I was just joking; I'm far from your house. You've worked all day too; get some rest! I'll come visit when I have time." After saying this, he hung up before Sun Li could respond.
In the thick night, Fei Hu wandered aimlessly down the street, feeling a loneliness he had never experienced before. Looking at the cars rushing by and the pedestrians hurrying past him, he suddenly asked himself what all this daily busyness was for.
When he reached the entrance of a KTV, he suddenly thought of Bald Zhang. It had been a while since they last contacted each other. An inexplicable urge surged within him as he took out his phone and dialed Zhang's number, but it kept ringing without an answer. At that moment, it was peak time at the KTV; he might be too busy to hear it.
Why not go find him? With that thought in mind, Fei Hu hailed a cab and headed straight for New World.
Upon arriving at New World’s entrance, Fei Hu felt something was off. Usually at this time, the entrance would be bustling with activity, but tonight it was unusually quiet. Just as doubts began to creep in, a large group of yellow-haired individuals suddenly surged towards him, leaving Fei Hu stunned.
