After recognizing the elder walking in the front as the old gentleman he knew, Hu Xiaobei laughed...
At this moment, Hu Xiaobei heard the temp workers shouting loudly, "You dead old geezers better not be thinking about causing any trouble! Stay still right here for me!"
After yelling so loudly, they slammed the door shut again...
...
Hearing the sound of the door locking, they didn’t care...
Taking a few steps forward, Xu Yuan opened his mouth with a smile, "Xiaobei, I have brought reinforcements to rescue you now!"
As he spoke, Xu Yuan casually sat down in front of Hu Xiaobei.
"Rescue me? But I feel like you’re trapped in here too!"
"Hehe, this is just an accident, anyhow, just wait a bit, soon enough, they will come begging us to let us out! Before that happens, let me introduce you to my friends, they are all your admirers!"
Hearing Xu Yuan’s words, Hu Xiaobei glanced over them...
From their demeanor, Hu Xiaobei deduced that none of them were ordinary people...
While Hu Xiaobei was sizing them up, Xu Yuan began to introduce them one by one, and so, Hu Xiaobei became acquainted with all of them...
...
"Heroes emerge from the young, the tea you cultivated is simply fantastic!"
"Yes, yes!"
"I can’t forget it after drinking it just once!"
Hearing their astonished exclamations, Hu Xiaobei knew they were all tea lovers!
Smiling, Hu Xiaobei said, "If you like, you are welcome to visit our Xiaohe Village in the future!"
"Of course!"
They quickly agreed and then examined Hu Xiaobei more closely.
Xu Yuan chuckled and said, "Alright, we don’t have much to do here. You guys should talk to Xiaobei about your health issues!"
"That’s right!"
Their eyes lit up, and they quickly started speaking, with Hu Xiaobei listening attentively...
At this moment, neither Hu Xiaobei nor they were nervous, because they all knew that they could not be truly trapped here...
...
Outside...
Hearing the conversation inside, the two guards smirked...
"What kind of bullshit is this, mutual business flattery?"
"Exactly! They won’t have the mood for such nonsense soon!"
"I think so too!"
With that said, they shook their heads...
They knew that after these people were locked in, they wouldn’t have a chance even for water, so they would soon become thirsty and naturally lose the mood to chat...
Downstairs, seeing the door to the lockup secured, Wang Daniu scoffed, "What a load of crap with all these dead geezers trying to play heroes! Do they really think they’re the Seven Calabash Brothers?"
After scoffing with ridicule, he prepared to return to his office.
But then he saw his younger brother, Wang Xiaoniu, running over with a crowd of people!
"Big brother, what happened just now? It seemed really noisy!"
Hearing Wang Xiaoniu’s inquiry, he replied indifferently, "It’s nothing, just a few dead old men tried to rescue Hu Xiaobei, but I’ve dealt with it already."
"Where are these old men?"
"They’ve been locked up in the lockup with him!"
"Should I take a look? Teach them a lesson?"
"Let’s not rush that; let them stew in despair for a while longer."
"Alright! Got it!"
Having agreed, Wang Xiaoniu watched Wang Daniu walk away...
Afterward, he glared up at the upstairs with malice...
"Hu Xiaobei, once my brother feels the time is right, I’ll come to find you! Then we’ll have a good chat!"
With a cold laugh, he waved the wooden bat in his hand...
...
"What? You say the old man is missing? Is this true?"
In an office in Sanfeng City, a stern-faced middle-aged man spoke gravely.
Feeling the immense pressure from such a deep inquiry, the young man took a deep breath, composed his words, and quickly replied, "Yes! The old man went to the tea house earlier to drink tea with friends, and I waited outside. But later, when the old man didn’t come out, I went in, and both the old man and his friends were gone! I asked the staff in the tea house; they said the old man left with the tea house owner and a few other people."
"Can’t find out where they went?"
"Not for the time being! They didn’t go to the usual places!"
Responding this way, he was also frustrated.
At first, not seeing anyone in the private room didn’t panic him, because he knew occasionally they liked to roam around nearby.
But after searching everywhere with no sign of them, he panicked. Out of desperation, he could only come here to seek help...
"I understand! You may go now; I’ll make a phone call!"
"Yes!"
After his subordinate left, the serious middle-aged man emotionlessly tapped the desk and soon made a phone call.
It wasn’t just his place in chaos, but other areas were the same; simply put, the whole of Sanfeng City was turned upside down...
...
"What in the world is going on? Why is there martial law throughout the city?"
"That’s what I say!"
"Have no clue!"
Many Sanfeng City residents, watching the various patrol cars coming and going on the streets, were discussing with each other...
They didn’t know exactly what was happening, but they knew it wasn’t something minor; otherwise, these patrol cars wouldn’t be continuously circling around...
