“Divine Horse learned this trick, and yet kept it from me. Hmph, what are you plotting?” Qi Menglu said, clinging to Yang Xiaoyou's back with her delicate arms wrapped around his neck, her tone playful.
However, the bright smile on her face indicated that she was actually quite happy, even if her way of expressing it was a bit strange.
With her soft arms around his neck and the occasional stray hair brushing against his nose, bringing a faint fragrance that was both ticklish and pleasant, Yang Xiaoyou felt a little uneasy.
The soft sensation behind him was also making him feel somewhat uncomfortable; this girl had grown up, after all. Well, in some areas she still had some growing to do—there was room for improvement.
“Yeah, I learned it to pick up girls. My mom gave me a heavy task,” Yang Xiaoyou said as he gently lifted the lazy bear off his back, rolling his eyes.
This immediately ignited Qi Menglu's anger, and soon they were playfully tugging at each other's cheeks in a battle of strength.
Watching from the side, Chen Hao and Chen Wuyou couldn't help but feel a bit helpless. These two were already grown up but still acted like this; they truly were a pair of rivals.
“Hey, you perverted otaku alien, that fellow outside is quite fierce. Their connections are extensive. But now that this fellow has suffered such a loss and failed, they’ll definitely realize that setting traps won’t stop us. How about we invite them to dinner to smooth things over?” After exchanging blows for quite some time without a clear winner, Yang Xiaoyou and Qi Menglu both collapsed onto the sofa, looking exhausted. It was then that Chen Wuyou spoke up with a mischievous grin.
“Cut it out, Knowingly Asking. It’s already been reported,” Yang Xiaoyou replied with a hint of annoyance upon hearing the taunts from the venomous sister.
However, if one were to assign responsibility for this situation, it would indeed be true that after agreeing to help clear all obstacles once the endorsement agreement with Dream Butterfly was signed, Hive Security Company had somewhat reneged on their promise. After all, it was an entirely unfamiliar territory; he wasn’t doing this just to bind that silly butterfly—uh, Caterpillar. Yang Xiaoyou wasn’t particularly interested in this matter either.
Now that they had gotten through it, naturally they should repay grievances with grievances and set an example to deter others from meddling. Without a doubt, Zhou Xian was quite the fat chicken.
Inviting him to one banquet as an apology wouldn’t suffice; even if he turned around and invited them to another banquet, Yang Xiaoyou wouldn’t let it go just like that.
Having Hive Security Company involved in such matters complicated things unnecessarily. Especially with outbreaks happening everywhere and a lack of manpower; it was better to cut through the chaos swiftly.
Unleashing the best side of oneself and flexing some muscles can make problem-solving much simpler.
In today's society, violence is certainly not the best solution, but it is always the most direct one.
On the surface, there are no traces or evidence left behind, and with the foundation of Hive Security Company, it cannot be shaken by mere rumors.
On that path, Zhou Xian was the one who provoked first, and we completely occupy the moral high ground. Our actions will impact the Underground Forces in Hong Kong, but it won't instill the same level of fear as a direct confrontation would. It will force them to unite against us.
Although, in terms of combat capability, Hive Security Company is indeed not afraid of those Underground Forces. However, given Hong Kong's unique environment, those Underground Forces are intricately connected to the surface world; their ties are complex and intertwined. Without a valid excuse, making a bold move could lead to significant losses.
With Lucas and Fein leading a group over there, Boss Zhou's company no longer needs Yang Xiaoyou to worry about its treatment.
Now, every Hive Core Member is capable of standing on their own. With two core members leading a group of formal members there, although toppling the entire Underground Forces in Hong Kong is quite a challenge, dealing with someone like this fellow is easy and enjoyable. Yang Xiaoyou has full confidence in this.
At that moment, after a very brief signing event following the concert, Dream Butterfly suddenly attempted to escape from the lounge where everyone was gathered. A middle-aged woman trailing behind her wore a troubled expression as she tried to persuade her.
However, Dream Butterfly seemed intent on blocking out the woman's voice. Upon entering the lounge and spotting Yang Xiaoyou, her eyes lit up as she walked over.
Just then, Qi Menglu regained some strength and prepared to launch her second attack on the still-resting Yang Xiaoyou.
The others beside them had already grown accustomed to this scene. However, Dream Butterfly paused for a moment before quickening her pace and awkwardly reaching out to pull the girl up.
Originally focused and determined to take Yang Xiaoyou's head with all her might, Qi Menglu turned her head in confusion when Dream Butterfly tugged at her.
Upon seeing Dream Butterfly pull herself over, she instantly became very happy, tossing Yang Xiaoyou aside and bouncing up with excitement. "Ah! It's really you! I used to wonder why my classmates liked you so much, but now I finally understand. Your singing is simply wonderful! I’m already your biggest fan. Hehe, you have to give me an autograph!"
Meanwhile, Dream Butterfly, after pulling Qi Menglu up, began to grab the collar of Yang Xiaoyou who was lying on the sofa and clumsily dragged him inside. She even took a cushion from the sofa to bury his head, as if trying to hide him away.
This left those beside them feeling somewhat petrified.
Qi Menglu, having her words cut off mid-sentence, pouted in obvious dissatisfaction and looked angrily at the two over there. Her ponytails seemed to flare up with her anger as she marched over and kicked Yang Xiaoyou on the leg.
"Why are you pretending to be dead? Hmph!"
She then cast a suspicious glance back and forth between Yang Xiaoyou and Dream Butterfly, feeling that something about their relationship seemed a bit strange.
This situation made Chen Wuyou chuckle quietly to himself.
At that moment, Yang Xiaoyou finally snapped out of the trance he had been unwittingly pulled into. However, Dream Butterfly, that Fool, had inadvertently put him into a state of Cognitive Acceleration, which was quite the opposite of what he needed. It felt like he had spaced out for just a moment before ending up in this predicament.
Looking at the proud and defiant Qi Menglu with her hands on her hips and an expression of displeasure and suspicion directed at him, then glancing at Feng Lin behind her with her clear eyes, Yang Xiaoyou suddenly felt a chill run down his spine.
An inexplicable sense of guilt washed over him. Seeing Chen Wuyou grinning mischievously only made him feel more uneasy. He realized he needed to handle the situation in front of him first. Thankfully, Damn it had sent the troublemaker away earlier, and Demoness was held back by Old Master Liang; otherwise, things would have been even more troublesome.
