"Hmm? There's still someone following her secretly," Yang Xiaoyou remarked, leaning against the railing on the second floor of a shopping mall as he glanced at Laiwei entering the building. He couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.
Yes, Laiwei was a name attached to an email from Luo Guohui. Although there was no explanation provided, it was clear that it was Revy's real name.
However, a flicker of doubt crossed Yang Xiaoyou's heart.
It shouldn't be like this. If Luo Guohui was still worried about his sister, he wouldn't have allowed her to come out at all, let alone go shopping. Moreover, Laiwei herself was quite capable; if they were truly concerned about her running away, following her from such a distance would be meaningless.
Meanwhile, Duh had stopped Lin Min from approaching, signaling that there was a tail. As for Eighth Master and the thug, they had already been sent away.
After arranging for someone to stake out for quite some time, it was frustrating to find an opportunity only to discover they were being followed.
It wasn't that they were afraid of the follower's capabilities; rather, it was because the person following them had been arranged by Laiwei's brother, which meant they couldn't act too recklessly.
After all, this time they only wanted to communicate with the girl who had been 'kidnapped.' The main event would require talking to her impressive brother later.
If they accidentally hurt her, it would greatly hinder their plans for future actions.
"We don't even have our passports, and Duh, your appearance tends to attract attention. It's really inconvenient for us to show ourselves," Lin Min said with a hint of helplessness after hearing his companion's reminder.
He then walked over to where Yang Xiaoyou seemed deep in thought.
"Damn it. What's going on today? Why did he arrange for someone to follow me? I noticed some of his colleagues seem dissatisfied with him; how can they still take orders from him? Is he trying to annoy me on purpose?" Laiwei complained with a disgruntled expression as she transformed her frustration into purchasing power, continuously swiping her credit card and accumulating shopping bags.
Just as she finished another transaction and considered finding a place to store her bags temporarily, someone suddenly emerged from around the corner and bumped into her.
All the shopping bags she was carrying fell to the ground.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry. My bad," Yang Xiaoyou said, scratching his head with an embarrassed expression as he crouched down to help pick up the scattered shopping items from the ground.
Laiwei, who was already simmering with anger and ready to explode, felt her words catch in her throat when she saw the shy and panicked look on the handsome boy's face. She reluctantly swallowed her frustration.
Rolling her eyes, she thought it seemed like she was the one bullying him now.
"Just be more careful next time," she muttered weakly before also crouching down to help.
However, her reaction left Duh and Lin Min, who were secretly observing from the second floor, speechless. It was too bizarre; had being locked up for so long messed with her head? This was completely out of character for the usually aggressive girl.
As Yang Xiaoyou picked up a shopping bag and handed it back to Laiwei, he discreetly took the opportunity to grab her hand.
Laiwei, who had momentarily shown unexpected kindness, felt a surge of irritation when she realized that Yang Xiaoyou was taking advantage of the situation. Without thinking, she smacked him on the head.
"You're still so young. Uh..." As she spoke, she suddenly felt something strange in her hand. Looking down, she discovered it was an old-fashioned men's earring that seemed quite ordinary.
However, upon seeing the earring, Laiwei felt a shiver run through her body. She glanced around before finally turning to look at Yang Xiaoyou, who was rubbing his head with a pained expression. A strange glint flashed in her eyes; this ugly earring was the same one worn by Duh, whom she had mocked multiple times.
"Alright then, consider this my apology. I'll treat you to some juice." Without hesitation, she shoved half of her shopping bags into Yang Xiaoyou's arms and dragged him toward an ice cream shop in the nearby mall.
"How did they find their way here? Tsk, I'm safe here; they shouldn't worry. If that beastly brother catches them, it'll be a disaster. He seems really unhappy with Duh and the others. Sigh, it might take some time," Laiwei whispered as they walked side by side, using the shopping bags as cover while giving Yang Xiaoyou knowing glances.
"No need to worry; we have a rough idea of what's going on. I have a certain relationship with Luo Guohui," Yang Xiaoyou replied quietly. Just as he finished speaking, he felt another sharp tap on his head—this time much harder.
Yang Xiaoyou instantly felt a surge of frustration and a desire to retaliate but restrained himself due to the number of people around them.
Seeing Laiwei's gritted teeth expression made him feel somewhat exasperated; it seemed like her reason for hitting him was related to his mention of knowing Luo Guohui—truly an undeserved misfortune.
Moreover, no matter what, Luo Guohui is still her brother. Why does she have such an expression? And that beastly brother of hers, could it be...
Soon, images of Luo Guohui standing at the foot of the bed flashed through Yang Xiaoyou's mind, his usual poker face replaced by a lewd grin.
After quickly shaking off those intrusive thoughts, he couldn't help but chuckle a couple of times. After all, this was a blow he had to take; at least this was someone who would be his subordinate in the future. How rude!
"Alright, Revy seems to be acting a bit off. I really have no idea what's been going on with her lately." He watched as the two entered the Ice Cream Shop, then glanced back at the few tails trailing behind them. Duh scratched his shiny bald head, feeling somewhat puzzled.
Usually, Ey wouldn't show such an attitude towards ordinary people. Her demeanor towards that young man felt somewhat similar to how she interacted with him and their companions—slightly affectionate and not too distant. Even with the token he had given her, it seemed a bit strange.
Only Duh, having worked with her for many years, could notice these unusual differences.
However, seeing the few tails scattered around the Ice Cream Shop waiting and on standby made him temporarily set aside this concern. It was probably just excitement from not having seen them for a long time after spotting the token.
Now he needed to find a way to meet her in person while avoiding those tails.
"Hmm? Are there more people? A group?" Just as Duh began to ponder, he noticed a few suspicious fellows appearing in the crowd from his vantage point on the second floor.
These fellows were moving closer to the initial batch of followers.
