Chapter 45: Unending Mishaps

"Alright, let's go! I'll take you two for a tour around the city." Liu Yingying was sharp-eyed and considerate. While discussing the fast-food restaurant plan with Lin Feng in detail, she had already noticed that Huang Shuqi was at a loss. After the two had almost finished their discussion, Liu Yingying decided to take Huang Shuqi for a good tour of Beijing.

As for Lin Feng, he played the role of a protector, laborer, and wallet.

Beijing was changing rapidly, especially with the preparation for the 2008 Olympic bid, which brought about a complete transformation.

When Lin Feng and the two girls returned to Peking University, exhausted, they had only managed to visit the Temple of Heaven. There was no way they could visit the Forbidden City or other historical sites, as women, when shopping, would forget all about such places and focus on commercial streets like Wangfujing.

"Let's go, through this alley, and a little further ahead is the West Gate of Peking University," Liu Yingying said, unable to hide her fatigue.

"Thank you, Sister Yingying, for buying me so many beautiful clothes," Huang Shuqi said excitedly, comparing the shopping bags in her hands.

"Hehe, don't thank me, thank your Brother Xiaofeng. He paid for everything," Liu Yingying said, looking at Huang Shuqi, who was still energetic after a day of playing. For the first time, she wondered if she was getting old.

"Thank you, Brother Xiaofeng," Huang Shuqi said sweetly.

"Hehe, it's nothing. Your clothes were too old, you should have bought new ones long ago," Lin Feng said with a smile, shaking his head.

The three of them chatted and laughed as they walked through the alley. But just as they were about to leave the alley, something unexpected happened.

"Stop, don't move!" Four people emerged, one in front and three behind.

"Brother Xiaofeng!" Huang Shuqi was startled and instinctively screamed.

"Little girl, shut up, or I'll stab you to death," the leader of the robbers said. They were not far from the West Gate of Peking University, and Huang Shuqi's sharp scream could attract passersby.

"Shuqi, don't scream!" Lin Feng quickly covered Huang Shuqi's mouth.

"You... what do you want?" Liu Yingying, though the top talent at Peking University, had never encountered such a situation before and was genuinely frightened. She instinctively hid behind Lin Feng, clutching his shirt like Huang Shuqi.

"Brothers, you just want money, right? I have money, take it. Please don't hurt us," Lin Feng said calmly. Although he didn't often encounter such situations, he had experienced them a few times. As long as he gave them the money, things would usually be fine. However, with two ladies, and beautiful ones at that, Lin Feng was afraid the robbers might be tempted by their appearance, which would be disastrous.

Fortunately, it was already late, and they were in a small alley. The streetlights from the main road could illuminate the ground but not the faces of the robbers, making it difficult for them to see Huang Shuqi and Liu Yingying clearly. This was a stroke of luck in an unfortunate situation.

At this moment, in a BMW Z8 parked nearby.

"Xia Qianhe, are the people you found reliable? Don't let Liu Yingying see through it, or I'll have no face to see her," Zhang Han, who was using this trick for the first time, was as nervous as Liu Yingying and the others.

"Mr. Zhang, don't worry. The people I hired are the best of the best, and they won't be seen through. Once that guy shows his cowardice and the girls are most afraid, you can rush in and win the lady's heart. Then..." Xia Qianhe laughed ambiguously.

"Alright, that's good. After this, the batch of private cars seized by the Shanghai Customs will be released quickly," Zhang Han nodded.

"Hehe, don't worry, everything is under control," Xia Qianhe was not as nervous as Zhang Han. He had done this kind of hero-saving-the-beauty act at least eight times. Even if the women occasionally discovered the truth, smart women wouldn't expose it.

"Hmph, boy, you're smart. Quickly, hand over all the money you have, or I'll make you bleed," the leader of the robbers said menacingly.

"Yes, yes, brother. We'll give it to you right away," Lin Feng quickly took out his wallet and instructed Liu Yingying and Huang Shuqi to take out their wallets as well.

"Brother, this is all the money we have, over 4,000 yuan. Please let us go," Lin Feng handed over the three wallets.

Damn, what should I do now!—The leader of the robbers did not expect Lin Feng to be so calm and cooperative, handing over all the wallets. According to the rules, they should take the money and leave. But the task given by the boss was not yet completed. He and the boss had agreed that the signal would be the women's screams, which had been disrupted by this boy.

The leader of the robbers had an idea.

"Damn, boy, are you trying to fool me? Hand over your phone," the leader of the robbers, not seeing Lin Feng's phone, decided to find a reason to pick a fight. If Lin Feng couldn't produce a phone, he would beat him up. Then he was sure the women would scream.

"Sorry, brother, here's the phone!" Lin Feng surprised him again by immediately handing over the phone. "Brother, can we go now?"

"Uh..." The leader of the robbers was stunned. He had robbed many times before, but he had never encountered such a compliant and obedient person. They would give money when asked and hand over their phone without hesitation. Damn, why hadn't he encountered such obedient people before?

"Go!" The leader of the robbers said subconsciously.

"Thank you, let's go!" Lin Feng quickly escorted Liu Yingying and Huang Shuqi away.

"Wait!" The leader of the robbers suddenly remembered the task as Lin Feng and the two girls were about to leave the alley.

"Run!" Lin Feng, realizing the situation, immediately pulled the two girls and ran.

"Damn! Chase them!" The leader of the robbers, seeing the unexpected turn of events, quickly ordered his men to chase them. If this went wrong, Xia Qianhe would not spare him. Damn, why was this boy so obedient!

The leader of the robbers hated for the first time in his life that the victim was too compliant.

"Lin Feng, I... I can't run anymore!" Liu Yingying, after running a few steps, felt her legs give out. After a day of shopping, she was already exhausted, and she didn't usually exercise much. Now, with the added shock, she had no strength left. On the other hand, Huang Shuqi, being younger and more active in school sports, was only slightly frightened.

"Shuqi, take Liu Yingying and run. I'll hold them off," Lin Feng handed Liu Yingying to Huang Shuqi and quickly turned around, taking out something from his pocket and rushing towards the robbers.

At this moment, the two men in the BMW Z8 also noticed the unexpected turn of events.

"Trouble, something's wrong, let's help!" Zhang Han, worried about Liu Yingying's safety, opened the car door and was about to rush out.

"Mr. Zhang, don't rush," Xia Qianhe held him back. "If you go now, you'll only make things easier for that guy. He might turn from a fake boyfriend into a real one."

Zhang Han was stunned by Xia Qianhe's words. After thinking about it, he realized it was possible. But he was most concerned about Liu Yingying's safety.

"Don't worry, the people I hired know their limits. They won't hurt Liu Yingying," Xia Qianhe reassured him, knowing what Zhang Han was worried about.

"Alright, let's wait a bit longer," Zhang Han did not want to ruin everything. He suppressed his worry and watched the situation develop.

"Watch out for the projectiles!" Lin Feng took out a stack of something from his pocket and threw it at the pursuing robbers.

The four robbers instinctively dodged, but when they saw the flying projectiles, they were stunned.

They saw a flurry of hundred-yuan bills flying in the air, illuminated by the streetlights, which made them particularly noticeable. Lin Feng, although he had a wallet, was in the habit of keeping his money in different places to avoid being targeted by thieves. This habit proved very useful today.

In TV shows, robbers often scatter money to escape. Lin Feng, to escape, also decided to scatter money.

But to Lin Feng's surprise, the four robbers, after a brief moment of shock, continued to chase him without hesitation.

What's going on? They didn't even pick up the money!—Lin Feng was also stunned.

"Damn, you dare to ruin my fun!" The leader of the robbers, seeing Lin Feng's hesitation, struck him with a heavy punch, knocking him down.

"Chase them!" At this moment, Liu Yingying and Huang Shuqi, after being delayed by Lin Feng, had run another ten meters and were only a hundred meters away from the West Gate of Peking University.

Robbing at the West Gate of Peking University was beyond the leader of the robbers' courage. This was a very serious matter, and even Xia Qianhe might not be able to protect them.

So, to complete Xia Qianhe's task, they had to intercept Liu Yingying and Huang Shuqi before they reached the West Gate of Peking University.
