"Hoo hoo!"..... "So this is Shanghai!" The six people who stepped out of the airport couldn't help but exclaim in awe as they took in the scenery outside.
"Shanghai truly lives up to its name as a global metropolis; even the airport is immense, perhaps directly comparable to the capital," Ye Xiaohou called out, utterly amazed. He glanced at Xu Ming and Lin Fatty beside him, suddenly frowning, and asked, "What's wrong with you two, Second Brother?" "Damn it!
I don't know if it was because I didn't eat enough on the plane, but I'm suddenly starving," Lin Fatty said, patting his stomach which was audibly rumbling. "Yeah, I'm hungry too," Xu Ming added, licking his lips.
Seeing this, Yang Yi couldn't help but let out a wry smile. How had these two developed such huge appetites?
They had only eaten a Western meal on the plane, and it had only been three-plus hours, yet they were already complaining of hunger. "Alright, let's call two cars and go eat," Yang Yi suggested.
"Oh yeah! Boss is the best!" Xu Ming shouted happily, raising his hand.
Because of his loud exclamation, it seemed two cars took the hint and pulled up in front of Yang Yi and the others. A somewhat stout middle-aged man poked his head out of a car window.
"Hey, young men, need a ride?" "Yes!" Both Xu Ming and Lin Fatty piled into one of the cars. Yang Yi shook his head helplessly and said to Lin Fatty, "Head to a nearby restaurant first!" "Mm, okay!" Lin Fatty responded before getting in.
"Babies, let's go too," Yang Yi said to Xia Shiyun and Li Qian. "Mm!" Xia Shiyun and Li Qian both agreed, though they couldn't help feeling a bit shy.
To be called 'babies' by some rogue in broad daylight felt rather suggestive! No...
it was more than suggestive—it was extremely ambiguous, resembling a playboy flirting with damsels. After getting into the car, Lin Fatty told his driver, "Brother driver, drive us to a nearby restaurant!" "Got it!" The driver replied, a cryptic smile playing on his lips.
"Brother driver, follow the car in front!" Yang Yi pointed to the vehicle ahead. "Alright, buckle up tight, don't forget your seatbelts." The person in the driver's seat was a middle-aged man with a slight receding hairline, and he too wore a smile mirroring the one on the first driver.
The two cars began to move slowly, maintaining a very smooth speed; it was clear these drivers were not unskilled behind the wheel. "Yi, tomorrow is the first day of school.
It’s already noon; shouldn't we find a place to stay?" Xia Shiyun asked Yang Yi, seemingly wanting to settle down soon. Yang Yi had Li Qian cradled in his left arm and Xia Shiyun in his right.
To be a man... no, to be more accurate, to be a rogue like Yang Yi was certainly enjoying remarkable fortune.
Yang Yi, who had been thinking about other matters, smiled when his beloved asked this. "Don't worry, I've already arranged accommodations.
For now, let's follow those two fellows and go eat." "Mm!" Xia Shiyun responded, her face flushing slightly at the feel of someone's mischievous hand. Li Qian pouted, raising one hand to Yang Yi's waist and twisting hard.
Yang Yi's face went through a dramatic transformation—from red to white, then from white to green. He grimaced a few times, then took a deep breath before recovering.
He turned his head to look at Li Qian, noting her downturned mouth was wide enough to hold two oil bottles. He asked cautiously, "Baby, what's wrong?" "You wicked man, you deserved that twist!" Li Qian declared, immediately stopping her other hand, which was about to cause trouble, and saying, "Don't!" "Uh!" Yang Yi clicked his tongue, maintaining an outwardly calm smile without saying anything further.
However, the driver in the front seat had a flicker of a subtle, hard-to-detect darkness cross his eyes. It was only for an instant, but Yang Yi caught it perfectly in the rearview mirror.
He thought, No wonder they’ve been driving this long in the vicinity, hmph! "Hey!
Brother driver, didn't I tell you to drive to a nearby restaurant? Wasn't that restaurant we just passed one?" Lin Fatty asked the driver ahead doubtfully.
"Heh heh, young man! You wouldn't know.
That restaurant is notoriously exploitative. I noticed you all look like students and probably don't have much money.
I’m taking you to a much better restaurant—it’s cheap and the food is excellent!" The driver’s expression was utterly innocent, as if his words were completely true. "Second Brother!" Ye Xiaohou seemed to sense something amiss and pulled on Lin Fatty's arm.
Lin Fatty glanced back at Ye Xiaohou doubtfully. Seeing his furrowed brow and nod, he seemed to catch on instantly.
A cold sneer surfaced in his mind. He glanced back at Yang Yi's car and caught Yang Yi's smiling gaze.
"Sigh! There are truly too many bad people these days." "Indeed!
There are many bad people, and my stomach is suffering for it. Tragic, I'm about to starve to death," Xu Ming said, a cold smile playing on his lips as he glanced at the driver’s face visible in the rearview mirror.
"What can you do? Nowadays, it’s either too many bad people or not enough good ones.
After all, everyone needs to make a living. Let’s just enjoy the thrill of riding with the bad guys for a bit!" Ye Xiaohou said with a nonchalant air, though heaven knew what mischief was brewing in his own mind.
So I've ended up in a pirate cab today, Yang Yi mused internally, quickly writing a few characters on each of the beauties' bodies with his fingers. Li Qian knitted her delicate brows, while Xia Shiyun looked somewhat bewildered.
"Yi!" Xia Shiyun called out questioningly. Yang Yi gave her a slight smile and reassured her, "It’s fine, just leave it to me." "Sigh, I didn't expect to run into trouble right after arriving in Shanghai," Li Qian sighed softly.
"Heh heh!" Yang Yi didn't deny it, narrowing his eyes at the scenery outside, a rogue-like smile playing on his lips. He spoke, "Drivers, I think you’ve had your fun, haven't you?" "Uh!!!" The driver was startled for a moment, his expression suddenly shifting 360 degrees, a grin reappearing.
"Then hold on tight!" "Whoosh whoosh!" Both cars suddenly accelerated, shooting past numerous restaurants along the way, before slowly turning onto a narrower road and heading toward an abandoned factory. "It really is hard to be a good person," Lin Fatty remarked calmly.
"We've arrived at the restaurant," the two drivers simultaneously pulled out handguns, pointing them at Yang Yi, Lin Fatty, and the others, their faces fixed in smiles as they spoke. "Good, good, good!" Yang Yi and Lin Fatty echoed in unison, speaking the word "good" three times simultaneously.
I hope these two fellows don't make me suddenly lose interest in playing, Yang Yi thought, hugging the slightly trembling Xia Shiyun. He said, "Baby, it’s alright, let's get out of the car." Perhaps due to her trust in Yang Yi, Xia Shiyun, who had been trembling upon seeing the guns, suddenly stopped shaking.
She just nodded and got out of the car. Seeing Yang Yi and the others exit, Xu Ming laughed, "Boss, sorry, it’s all my stomach’s fault.
I’ll discipline it another day!" "Hmph!" Yang Yi scoffed with a smile. "It's good you know, but I hope this game doesn't get too melodramatic." "Yeah, otherwise it won't be fun.
After all, this is our first time in Shanghai today!" A cold glint appeared on Lin Fatty's lips. "Let's go, stop all this useless chatter!" The two middle-aged men completely ignored what Yang Yi and the others were saying or what they meant by their words.
All they knew was that a duck cooked and ready on the plate couldn't possibly fly away, could it? Yang Yi escorted Li Qian and Xia Shiyun inside.
He possessed a strong protective instinct for his women—it was one of the essential traits of a high-level rogue. The group was ushered into the abandoned factory at gunpoint by the two middle-aged men.
Before long, Yang Yi spotted several figures inside what appeared to be an old factory—about six burly men. It was likely a criminal gang.
However, Yang Yi seemed to notice something quite interesting. Inside the abandoned factory, there was a fat, big-headed man who looked incredibly solid and strong.
His arms were covered in tattoos, but the tattoos seemed rather laughable... The design depicted a small bird pecking at rice.
The group, fighting back suppressed laughter, slowly walked in. "Big Brother, we got these few fresh ones today.
They look like they're from out of town. We should be able to make a good haul this time!" the middle-aged man holding the gun on Yang Yi and the others said with a smile.
"Mm!" The big-headed, fat man walked around Yang Yi and the group once, then suddenly stopped, his eyes filled with a somewhat lewd gaze, fixed intently on Li Qian and Xia Shiyun beside Yang Yi. "Hahaha, these two broads are quite good, very good.
You two did very well today." A cold glint flashed in Yang Yi's eyes, but it vanished in a moment. He glanced back at the fat man with great interest and asked, "You brought us here, may I ask for what purpose?" "For what purpose?" The big-headed man couldn't help but feel a mixture of amusement and exasperation.
He laughed, "You lot are different from others. If it were anyone else, they’d be crying for their fathers and mothers by now!" "Crying for their fathers and mothers?" "Hahahaha!
Hahahaha!"......
