"Did you hear that? It seems like someone is coming!"
"I heard it!"
"Me too!"
In Li Wei’s car, everyone squinted nervously...
Because they didn’t know who was coming...
They knew this wasn’t their territory, so from earlier on, they’ve been like birds startled by a bow...
That’s why, even the slightest footsteps, they could hear particularly clearly...
...
Once they confirmed someone was indeed approaching, they nervously looked at the person in the middle...
"Brother, do you think the ones approaching quickly could be security guards?"
"Exactly!"
Upon hearing their anxious questions, he lightly waved and calmly analyzed, "It shouldn’t be security personnel; if it were, there wouldn’t be just one person’s footsteps! It might just be someone passing by, so let’s not scare ourselves. Just try to hide as well as we can."
"Alright!"
With this agreement, they quickly fell silent.
...
At this moment, approaching with an air of composure was indeed not a security guard, but Hu Xiaobei, returning hurriedly.
He came here directly, intending to give Song Yaling a big surprise.
"Looks like there’s no chance to surprise Sister Song now!"
Seeing Song Yaling’s car parked, Hu Xiaobei sighed in frustration.
Earlier, Hu Xiaobei planned to sneak into Song Yaling’s home before she returned, but now he had to change his plan because she had already come back ahead of time.
"Since I can’t sneak a surprise on her, I’ll just appear in front of her boldly."
After confirming Plan B, Hu Xiaobei walked straight over.
...
"He’s not a passerby; he’s planning to go to this residence."
By now, everyone in Li Wei’s car was clear on this.
That’s why they knew they had to stop him.
Earlier, they hid in the car, secretly observing Hu Xiaobei.
They thought he was just a normal passerby.
So they didn’t plan to come out...
Now, they knew Hu Xiaobei was not a passerby.
So they knew they should step in and prevent it.
...
"Do you think this person looks a bit familiar?"
The person referred to as brother glanced at them, his eyes slightly squinted.
He had been watching this back all along, feeling somewhat familiar.
But he couldn’t say exactly why it seemed familiar, just that it did.
"Familiar?"
They exchanged puzzled looks, glancing at Hu Xiaobei again.
Soon, they gently shook their heads...
They didn’t find him familiar.
"Brother, maybe it’s just your imagination!"
"Yeah, this guy’s dressed in rags, looks just like a beggar or something."
"Beggar?"
He muttered to himself, speaking in a deep voice: "Maybe! Alright, now’s not the time for more nonsense. Let’s go down and see what’s going on!"
With that, he quickly opened the car door...
His two subordinates saw him go down and followed without hesitation.
Truth be told, they had wanted to come down for a while.
Taking a deep breath indifferently, he spoke in a low voice: "We are the bodyguards of this household. Our master instructed us not to be disturbed, so you should leave now. If you need money, I can give you a few hundred bucks to go wash up and change clothes."
"That’s right, your clothes are so torn!"
"Yeah, where do you usually live, under a bridge?"
Upon hearing their brother speak, they mocked without hesitation...
Hu Xiaobei glanced at them and said indifferently, "You’re Sister Song’s bodyguards? How come I’ve never heard Sister Song mention it before."
"Sister Song? Mention it to you? Who do you think you are!"
"Yeah! Why would she talk to someone like you! Who do you think you are!"
"Who I am, you don’t need to know. I just want to know what your purpose here is, I..."
Before Hu Xiaobei could finish, his expression changed...
Because he heard panicked screams coming from the villa behind him.
Hu Xiaobei heard it, and so did the three people...
"Damn it, didn’t you say it was a friend? Why does the voice sound so terrified!"
After cursing wildly in their hearts, they glanced around anxiously.
At this moment, they were truly worried that the screams would attract patrols.
...
"Brother, where did that person go?"
"Yeah!"
After looking around, they turned back to find the young man who had been standing in front of them had disappeared...
"He must have gone inside!"
"What do we do? Should we go in too?"
Upon hearing their inquiries, the brother coldly reprimanded, "Go inside, my foot! We stay here. If there’s a problem, we run! Save yourself, not others!"
"That’s right!"
With that, the three quickly returned to the car...
