Two people walked in and immediately entered the recording studio next door, starting to record voiceovers for the Cross-Dressing Hero.
Li Hong listened for a while, but aside from making his brother feel tense, he gained nothing.
By the time Soulmate finished the voiceover, it was already past nine in the evening. The offices of Sweet Potato Films and Fist Game were empty. After some discussion, Li Hong decided to treat the employees who had worked overtime.
"Let's go, I'll take you to eat at Water County Eats." He led them toward the nearby Water County Eats chain restaurant.
Having tried many international brands, Li Hong still had a soft spot for the Shui County brand.
Although the food there wasn't particularly great, the deliciousness of food had always been directly proportional to the thickness of one's wallet. Given Li Hong's financial situation, even a meal at Shui County could leave him speechless with gratitude; what other choice did he have?
After taking the elevator down with Mark and Soulmate, Li Hong headed toward the still-open Water County Eats.
As for Tiamat, he wasn't quite used to the flavors of Chinese cuisine, so he declined Li Hong's kind offer.
They hadn't walked far when they noticed a couple arguing loudly under a streetlight not far ahead.
Since the couple was positioned right at an intersection, their progress was affected.
Soulmate trudged forward, intending to ask the couple to move aside.
Unexpectedly, as soon as the man saw Soulmate approaching, he quickly stepped forward and grabbed Soulmate's sleeve, shouting angrily at his wife, "If you keep arguing with me, do you believe I’ll hit him? If he calls the police, at least I’ll just get fined $100, which could buy you a bunch of snacks!"
His wife opened her mouth as if to speak but chose silence instead!
Soulmate was taken aback, quickly shaking off the man's hand, and stammered, "What the hell! I'm just a bystander passing through, okay?"
Li Hong and Mark hurried over, surrounding the group.
To their surprise, the man was completely unfazed. He smiled at his wife and said, "Did you see that? There are three of them here. If I beat them all up, it'll cost at least several thousand in fines. If you keep causing trouble for me, I'll go ahead and do it!"
Li Hong: "..."
Is this guy out of his mind? Three big, burly men standing here, and he thinks he can take on all of them?
His wife was equally ridiculous, actually believing him. She nervously said, "Honey, take it easy. Don't get physical! You know our financial situation; we can't afford that."
Hearing this, the man became even more arrogant. He pointed at Li Hong and said, "Stop talking nonsense. Just answer me—are you going to shop again next Double Eleven?"
"No, no, I'm clearing my shopping cart right now. Honey, let's go home; we're making a fool of ourselves here."
The man smiled contentedly and turned to give Li Hong and the others a look of disdain as if he were a victor. He wrapped his arm around his wife and swaggered away.
"Smack!"
Li Hong lit a cigarette, the smoke swirling around as he asked the two of them, "What should we do about those who flaunt their love in front of heterosexuals?"
Soulmate rubbed the dead skin on her right hand and coldly replied, "They should be burned."
"It’s time to burn!" Even someone as honest as Mark felt disgusted by this man.
Thus, the three of them immediately changed their target, hiding their figures and stealthily following the couple.
...
It was already late at night, and the area outside was silent.
Under an air conditioning unit, three men shivered in the cold, whispering to each other.
"Boss, let’s get out of here. They’re probably asleep and won’t come out," Soulmate sniffled, conflicted.
Ever since they were mocked and ridiculed by that man, they had decided to take revenge.
But hiding beneath their building didn’t seem like a good idea either.
Who would be out at this hour?
Just as Li Hong hesitated and considered retreating, hurried footsteps suddenly echoed in the hallway.
"Hmm?" The three of them instantly woke up and took advantage of the dim night to slip into the greenery beneath the building.
The footsteps grew louder until a figure in pajamas appeared before them.
"It’s him!" Soulmate exclaimed joyfully.
Indeed, the person standing before them was the same guy they had encountered at the intersection earlier.
The man walked downstairs, pulled out a hundred yuan from his bag, and staggered toward a nearby shop.
However, he had barely taken a few steps when a thunderous roar erupted from behind him.
"Demacia!"
"Take this, Qilin Fist!"
"Hey, watch my Single Palm!"
After a chilling moment, a man with a face full of footprints suddenly appeared on the ground.
Li Hong habitually lit a cigarette and asked the groaning man on the ground, "Do you remember us?"
The man struggled to open his bruised eyes and, aided by the night’s darkness, recognized Li Hong and the others.
"It’s... it’s you guys..."
"Good to know you remember," Soulmate chuckled lightly before starting to unbuckle his belt.
Li Hong paused, his hand holding the cigarette trembling for a moment before he cursed, "Stop it, you can't do this."
Mark quickly fastened Soulmate's loosened belt and patted Soulmate's shoulder, saying, "Don't be like that; he's a man."
Soulmate nodded helplessly, "Alright, let's forget it then."
The man on the ground felt as if his heart had turned to ice. He never expected that these three insane individuals would take an interest in his plight.
Fortunately, the leader still retained some semblance of reason and stopped his companions from their violent actions. Otherwise, the man couldn't imagine what kind of torture he would face next.
Just when he thought he had escaped a disaster, Li Hong shook off the ash from his cigarette and said in a weary voice, "Soulmate, deal with him. I'll keep watch. Mark, help Soulmate hold this guy down; don't let him resist."
This was a revenge plan they had discussed beforehand; there was no need for further explanation—Mark and Soulmate understood immediately.
Before long, the residents of the entire area could hear the raucous laughter of a man.
"Ah hahahaha, please let me go..."
"I can't take it anymore; if this continues, I'll die..."
"Ah ah, you guys are amazing; please let me go..."
The horrific cries continued until dawn before finally ceasing.
No one knew what had happened that night.
The only person who knew, Old Wang, who sold instant noodles and ham sausages, fainted after only watching half of it due to his skyrocketing blood pressure.
As a result, apart from those directly involved, no one had any idea what transpired that night.
...
Dragging their exhausted bodies, the three of them trudged back into the company.
Slumping into the chair, Li Hong rubbed his temples and sighed, "If I ever encounter such a bizarre situation again, I can't let it go so easily. If I don't toy with him for a whole day, it would be a great act of mercy on my part. But honestly, this job is not meant for humans; it nearly killed me."
Soulmate nodded in agreement, feeling the same way. That night had worn him out. After all, Li Hong and Mark could hardly handle anything too intense. So, the hardest and most exhausting tasks fell to him, Soulmate. This meant that among the three of them, he was the one who suffered the most.
