Chapter 124- Side story (1)

“You were kidnapped?!” Hong Qingyi laughed on the other side of the phone.

“What are you laughing at?!!” Gu Anran yelled back in anger.

“Yes, yes, I’m terribly sorry Miss Gu~ So now that you have met the parents, when are you going to invite me to a toast at your wedding?” Hong Qingyi crossed her legs as she sat down on the bench.

“Yeah right….” Gu Anran started yelling again but then her volume suddenly lowered significantly. Hong Qingyi could still hear Gu Anran’s voice in the background, but this time Mu Qingli’s voice mixed in as well.

“Anran, time to eat!”

“Wait, wait a minute, let me finish this call first.”

“Seriously, did I not satisfy you enough last night? The moment you wake up, you’re on the phone. Even now you’re still on the phone. Is that phone as good looking as me?” Mu Qingli complained on the side.

“Y-You shut your mouth!”

Puah—the sound of a pillow thrown could be heard….

Ah, she seems to have discovered something interesting~ Hong Qingyi chuckled evilly, wondering if she should record this evidence of Gu Anran’s black history, hehehehe.

Of course, she was only thinking about it because with Gu Anran’s hacking skills, if Hong Qingyi really tried to record this there would probably be ugly photos of her posted on the internet by tomorrow. So scary, so this blackmail material….she’ll just listen to it for now!

“Well….in short, you better watch out as well. Qingli’s father is supposed to be a dignified CEO and yet he resorted to kidnapping. Mengyan is the Eldest Young Miss of a Triad, and you know that the Triads always do quite unexpected things. So you better-hey? Hello???” Gu Anran looked down at the phone that had suddenly gone silent. She was hung up on?

“What’s the matter?” Mu Qingli placed the last plate of food down and came to Gu Anran’s side.

“Qingyi….it seems that something has happened to her….” Gu Anran said with a dry smile.

On the other side, Hong Qingyi is currently sitting with a dumbfounded look in a certain car.

Sitting on either side of her are two fierce-looking men in black. There are also another two in the drivers’ seat and the passengers’ seat. The intimidating aura and posture they were sitting in….they must be Triad members!!!!

Damn that Gu Anran, she really jinxed everything for me! Mengyan, come and save me!!!!

“This….you guys…..” Before Hong Qingyi finished speaking, the man sitting in the passenger seat turned his head, and his eyes were full of a cold light, it was as if he was looking at a dead person. These are eyes that belong to someone who has killed people before!

But…is Hong Qingyi afraid? After facing the apocalypse, flesh-eating zombies, and killing so many….she herself had killed quite a few zombies…..

“Who are you people? Where are you taking me?”

The man noticed that Hong Qingyi wasn’t panicking in the slightest, and he felt some surprise in his heart. He decided to say a few words in light of this,

“You’ll know when we get there?” (T/N: He used the polite form of ‘you’)

You? Could it really be Mengyan’s family….after all, she had no relationship with the underworld so her identity shouldn’t be important enough for gangsters to use such polite terms.

Hong Qingyi watched the scenery outside rapidly change. She curled her lips and took out her mobile phone, only to find that she had many missed calls from Gu Anran. She raised her eyes and asked,

“Can I make a call?”

“Yes.” The man didn’t look back and only nodded faintly.

Hong Qingyi pressed Gu Anran’s number and the other party picked up immediately.

“Hey, Qingyi, are you still alive?” Gu Anran’s voice came out a little jumbled from the other end, and anyone could tell that she was eating at the same time.

“Gu Anran, you little-! Did you curse me or something?” Hong Qingyi said unhappily.

“What, me? Look at how many times I called you….Wait, Qingli, I haven’t even finished eating yet and I want to eat barbecue tonight!” Gu Anran said.

“Ok~ Which restaurant does Anran want to go to? A self-service buffet? Or one with waiters serving you? You can barbecue on the lands of our Mu Family as well, if you want.” On the other side, Mu Qingli’s spoiling voice sounded out.

Hong Qingyi: “….”

She must be crazy to have called them. Ah, why was she being force fed dog food, hmph, determining one’s relationship must be great! Woo…so amazing….

“Oh, by the way, we called Mengyan for you. She’s coming to your location now.” Gu Anran said.

“Huh? I’m in a car, so how does she know where I am?” Hong Qingyi asked strangely.

“Who knows, maybe it’s some kind of telepathy?” Gu Anran shrugged.

Meanwhile, Mu Qingli, who was sitting on the sides wiping Gu Anran’s mouth, thought quietly in her heart, it’s because we;ve installed GPS trackers on both of your phones. Wherever you go, we know where you are….But of course she did not say such things out loud.

“Forget it, you should enjoy your food, I’m hanging up first.” Hong Qingyi hung up after speaking, but then Chi Mengyan’s call came, and she picked it up. Chi Mengyan’s cold voice sounded out.

“Qingyi, are you in a car?” Chi Mengyan’s face was very cold as she watched the red dot on her phone move quickly.

“Yes, that’s correct.” Hong Qingyi nodded.

“Can you give the phone to the person who took you away?”

“Ok.” Hong Qingyi nodded and then looked at the four men around her, “Which one of you can talk on the phone right now?”

The man in the passenger seat turned his head, “Give it to me.”

Hong Qingyi handed the phone over and didn’t know what Mengyan said to the man, but she saw the man cover his mouth to talk quietly and then his forehead suddenly was full of sweat Henodded quickly and repeatedly, as he was afraid of angering some ferocious behemoth on the other side of the phone. His panicked expression was completely inconsistent with the tall and strong image he projected.

After a while, the man handed the phone back to Hong Qingyi with a face full of respect, leaving Hong Qingyi feeling speechless. Mengyan, just how scary are you?

“Miss Hong, we are arriving soon, please get out of the car.” Once the man finished talking, the car suddenly stopped in front of a building. This is….a hotel?

The hotel in front of her is at least 30 stories tall and has quite a majestic presence. It must be a very lively place at night, and even now, many people come in and out. Most of them seemed to have bodyguards, so that meant they were probably important people.

Hong Qingyi’s casual wear was not compatible with the hotel’s style. People here either wore western-styled suits or at the very least, simple dresses. Hong Qingyi with her cheap shirt and jeans attracts everyone’s attention. Many gazed at her with disdain, but quickly changed their gazes after seeing the man behind her, that is, the man sitting in the passenger seat. Then their looks of disdain quickly changed as they looked at Hong Qingyi with curious and suspicious gazes instead.

This man must have quite a high status here! Hong Qingyi thought.

“Miss Hong, this is the headquarters of the Eagle Order. There are 35 floors and the floors are restricted on entry based on your status. Unless someone with clearance leads you there, no one else can enter. This is the rule here, and if you break it, you are not allowed to come here every again. First, let me introduce myself. I am one of the four vice-leaders of the Order, and most people call me Master Tiger. However, you may call me Uncle Tiger.” The man introduced with a smile.

“I see, nice to meet you Uncle Tiger.” Hong Qingyi nodded.

“Miss Hong, please follow me.” Master Tiger brought Hong Qingyi to an elevator. When they arrived at the elevator, Hong Qingyi heard gasps all around her. What’s so special about this elevator?

“Miss Hong, this elevator can only be used by high-level members of the Eagle Order or guests who hold a certain card. Currently, counting the leader, the Young Miss, and the four vice-leaders, there are less than 10 people who are eligible to take this elevator.” Master Tiger explained.

Ah, this elevator is so precious?! But, uh…that doesn’t seem to be the important point….

Hong Qingyi followed Master Tiger into the elevator, but the two men who had followed behind her stopped outside the elevator, and bowed to Master Tiger before leaving. The underworld has quite strict hierarchies!

Master Tiger pressed the button for the 35th floor, and the elevator moved quickly before opening immediately. The entrance to the 35th floor is a big red door, with two men in black standing guard outside. They both have guns sitting on their waists!

Both looked alertly at the open elevator, but quickly withdrew their gazes when they saw Master Tiger’s hand on his gun. They quickly turned back into expressionless door guards once again.

“Please, come in.” Master Tiger opened the door and gestured for her to enter.
