After This, You and Xiao Jiu Will Sit at the Same Table When You Eat

It was Zhao Jinfei.

Zhao Jinfei was pretty capable—he'd found them in such a short time.

"Young Master, we found an abandoned factory on the outskirts of Changning District. It seems to be one of their hideouts. He just went in."

The outskirts? An abandoned factory?

After hanging up, Young Master Fei felt that the place sounded familiar.

He reviewed the plot from the book.

Then he remembered.

This was where Ye Chen wiped out Ji Gangji.

But it was more than an ordinary hideout—it was their headquarters!

At that thought, the excited Young Master Fei was about to share the location with the police station.

But the moment he picked up his phone, he thought of that brain-dead girl.

The thought instantly cooled him down.

The lead would be sent to the Director, and the Director was a doting father. Especially when it concerned him, he would definitely ask for her opinion.

And whenever it involved him, that brain-dead girl opposed it without thinking. There was no way he could expect her to show mercy this time.

When reading the original novel, Young Master Fei had even felt that—

Even if Fei Yangyao were stabbed right in front of her, that brain-dead girl would probably think it was because he'd done something wrong.

The cops were unreliable. It looked like he had to think of something himself.

But what could he do?

Could he take his men there himself?

But it was still the same problem—they couldn't win.

What should he do? What should he do?

Young Master Fei looked around, trying to find inspiration.

At that moment, A Jiu was taking bite after bite of her popsicle. It was melting too quickly, and before she could finish sucking it, several drops were about to fall.

Seeing this, she had a flash of inspiration. She tilted her head back, opened her mouth wide, and held the popsicle upside down above her head, catching the dripping melted ice one drop at a time.

"..."

He'd forgotten—wasn't there a high-combat, low-intelligence character beside him, just like that brain-dead girl?

No, how could he compare A Jiu to that brain-dead girl?

A Jiu was kind-hearted, innocent, and adorable. What did that woman have?

Besides, A Jiu hadn't been born like this.

As he pulled out a tissue and wiped away the melted ice that had accidentally dripped beside A Jiu, he thought.

What if he brought A Jiu with him? Her combat ability was high, and with all the people on his side...

Woof! Woof!

Wait!

Ignoring Xiao Jiu's warning.

He suddenly realized.

Why did he have to go himself?

That brain-dead girl's combat ability was high too, and she could call in plenty of people. More importantly, they were the official force.

Besides, this was already within their jurisdiction.

He only needed to let the Director's foolish daughter know there were bad guys around. Given her personality, she would definitely step forward.

But she couldn't know that he was the one who'd tipped her off. It had to be anonymous.

If the Director found out, his intelligence would be hard to fool. But if only Su Yao knew...

Fortunately, they were classmates. He had the phone number of that brain-dead girl named Su Yao in his contacts.

"Su Yao, Su Yao, Su Yao... Found it!"

Young Master Fei drove to a spot far away from the abandoned factory and stopped without turning off the engine.

He took out a phone and SIM card he'd bought temporarily, typed out a plea-for-help text, and sent it to Su Yao.

"Help! Abandoned factory on the outskirts of Changning District!"

She replied immediately. "What happened? Are you okay? Are you safe over there?"

"I..."

The text message was very simple, but Young Master Fei believed it would be highly effective.

And the last message had only been sent halfway. The other party would definitely get anxious—and definitely take the bait.

Even if they tracked the location, it would point roughly to this area.

They had no choice but to believe it.

Young Master Fei had also made preparations for that possibility.

If they tracked the phone and discovered that it was not in the outskirts of Changning District, they might think it was a prank. Then all their efforts would have been for nothing.

However, he had overthought it...

Upon receiving the message, Su Yao had not considered bringing any colleagues along at all.

She traveled light and drove there alone...

After turning off the phone and throwing it away, Young Master Fei decided to remain at the scene in case anything unexpected happened.

Seeing it with his own eyes would put his mind at ease.

After all, this matter had quite a significant impact.

There were not many roads here, and this was the only road leading to that factory.

The other party would definitely pass through here.

From this spot, he could see her arrive with people and leave with people.

Once the matter was settled, he could finally sleep soundly.

As for getting any closer?

The other party was hardly made up of kindhearted people.

They definitely had plenty of knives.

Young Master Fei felt there was no need to take any additional risks.

After tying up A Jiu's hair and putting a baseball cap on her head, he began waiting in place.

After all, A Jiu's hair color was rather distinctive and would stand out in a place like this.

Although even the streetlights could not dispel the darkness of the night, and ordinary people could only see slightly better than blind men, it was still best to be cautious.

However, after around forty minutes, Young Master Fei saw a car with license plates not belonging to Changning District drive past.

Hmm, he had not expected her to arrive so quickly.

At this hour, it was hard enough to see any cars in this place, much less one from out of town.

It could only be Su Yao's car.

Wait!

Young Master Fei suddenly realized something was wrong.

Why was there only her car?

Why was there only one car?

Young Master Fei waited for quite a while, only to find that there was nothing behind that car. Not a single vehicle had followed it.

No wonder she had arrived so quickly. So she had come straight here the moment she received the message?

Without telling anyone?

Well, damn!

Young Master Fei felt that he had overestimated the female lead's intelligence.

He had thought that, even if she did not notify her father and did not bring many people in order to show off, she would at least bring a few people as backup and assistants.

Who would have thought that, relying on her righteous spirit, this woman was actually afraid of nothing?

With your intelligence, if you were not the female lead of a wish-fulfillment novel, you would not even know how you died.

You might as well sit at the same table as Xiao Jiu when it was time to eat.

Because the female leads he had encountered before were all fairly smart, Young Master Fei realized that he had grown complacent.

So Su Yao was the true fated female lead, the real leading heroine. Otherwise, how else could she have inherited the traditional Dragon King wish-fulfillment novel female lead's intelligence?

At this point, there was nothing to be done.

He had no time to keep complaining. Young Master Fei hurried over to take a look.

However, while he did not trust Su Yao's brain, he did recognize her formidable combat strength.

In the original novel, she and A Jiu should have been at roughly the same level. She was also a Martial Master.

When Ye Chen crushed Ji Gangji in the plot, his strength had yet to reach the Martial Master level, and A Jiu had not advanced either.

Therefore, he was not worried about Su Yao's safety. At most, she would get slashed twice and suffer a few injuries.

Meanwhile, far ahead of Young Master Fei's car, Su Yao had already swaggered into the abandoned factory.

There were roughly a dozen people within sight. Some were playing mahjong, while others were playing cards.

The entire factory building was filled with noise and chatter, making for quite a lively scene.
