Kidnapping

It was Li Hui, Yue Hua, and Scarface.

"Brother Li, what should we do? I think they'll finish eating soon. Once they leave, we won't have another chance," Yue Hua asked anxiously.

He was truly unwilling to let Zhou En go.

He had suffered at Zhou En's hands twice in a row. This was no longer merely a matter of pride—it was simply the greatest humiliation.

Li Hui's face darkened as his mind raced.

There seemed to be no solution in sight, but Li Hui believed that there was always a way to solve anything in this world.

"Let's watch for now," Li Hui finally replied.

Inside the restaurant, after silently calculating the price he would have to pay for chasing girls, Zhou En's mouth fell open in shock.

"What? One meal costs two hundred?" Zhou En wailed inwardly. He glanced at the beautiful coach across from him and knew he had been taken for a ride this time.

Liu Yu picked up a piece of Mapo Tofu and placed it on her rice. Seeing Zhou En staring blankly at her, she asked curiously.

"Why aren't you eating?"

Zhou En's lips twitched. This wasn't food—it was his hard-earned money! He picked up a slice of braised beef and put it into his mouth. He had not expected much, but the moment he tasted it, he was stunned.

It was unbelievably delicious.

Ring, ring, ring. Suddenly, a burst of urgent ringing sounded.

"Zhou En, I need to take this call." Liu Yu looked at her phone and gave Zhou En an apologetic smile.

Zhou En nodded as he watched Liu Yu turn and leave the restaurant.

With Liu Yu gone, Zhou En did not dare eat too much. Who knew whether she would order more if she was not full?

If Liu Yu ordered more, Zhou En would feel like jumping off a building. His monthly living expenses were only one thousand yuan.

One minute, two minutes, three minutes...

"Women really can talk."

Ten minutes, fifteen minutes...

Zhou En began to feel that something was wrong.

"Waiter, pack this up." Zhou En snapped his fingers.

A server immediately hurried over, rubbing his fingers together in front of Zhou En.

"Sir, the total is two hundred and fifty yuan."

Zhou En nodded and painfully paid two hundred and fifty yuan through Alipay. Then he hurried out.

"Hello, Coach? Where are you?" After leaving the restaurant, Zhou En took out his phone and called Liu Yu. The call connected immediately.

His heart sank slightly. Had he been dumped?

"Zhou En, listen carefully. Your coach is in our hands." However, the voice on the other end was not Liu Yu's sharp reprimand, but a rough male voice.

"Li Hui, don't go too far. Liu Yu is your coach." Zhou En had never expected Li Hui to resort to such despicable methods.

Li Hui sneered. "If you want your little sweetheart back, come to the back mountain east of Snack Street."

After hearing Li Hui's words, Zhou En calmed down instead and asked, "Let me hear Liu Yu's voice. Otherwise, how do I know whether something happened to her?"

"Fine." After a while, a sharp female voice came through the phone.

"Li Hui, you dare threaten me? Aren't you afraid I'll kick you out when I return to the club?"

"Ha, Coach, don't trouble yourself. Those words might have meant something when you were still a National Team coach, but I'm sure you no longer have that authority."

Clearly, only Li Hui could be so arrogant.

"Fine. Wait for me. I'll be there soon," Zhou En said in a deep voice.

"Zhou En, don't come. Li Hui brought all his lackeys this time," Liu Yu's voice called out.

Zhou En gave a bitter smile. "I have to come."

This time, it was not just because of Liu Yu. He also had to avenge the humiliation from three months ago.

After hanging up, Zhou En headed straight for the back mountain.

Due to excessive development in its early years, the soil on the back mountain had hardened and could no longer support trees. The entire mountain also gave off a foul stench.

Simply put, the back mountain had once been a garbage dump. Although, with economic development, residents no longer threw their trash there.

Still, with its mountains of garbage and terrible soil, no one had ever bought the land.

When Zhou En stepped onto the garbage-filled ground, he could not help covering his nose.

Looking up, he could vaguely see several figures at the mountaintop, partly concealed by stubbornly growing weeds and trees.

If it had been three months ago, Zhou En definitely would have rested to replenish his strength.

But now, Zhou En only felt full of energy, as if he possessed endless strength.

The cafeteria in the school's eastern district.

Su Lin and Chubby left the cafeteria after finishing their meal.

"By the way, where's Zhou En? Why haven't I seen him?" Chubby asked in an old-fashioned tone.

Su Lin gave a bitter smile. "That guy went out to eat with Liu Yu."

"Hiss." Upon hearing that, Chubby sucked in a sharp breath. His fat face was filled with shock and bewilderment.

"Th-then, won't Zhou En get intercepted by Li Hui?" He spoke without thinking, but Su Lin took it seriously.

Su Lin's expression changed.

"Oh no. I thought there was something off about the look in Li Hui's eyes today. So he went to intercept Zhou En."

Hearing this, Chubby became anxious as well.

"Come on, hurry and find him. Today, I'll use my Hua Wei Pro to livestream and show everyone Li Hui's true colors."

The worry in his heart for Zhou En was plainly written across his face.

"Let's go!" Su Lin was not the kind of person who would abandon a friend. He followed Chubby and ran toward the school's Snack Street.

Chubby casually opened Gouya Live and briefly explained the situation to the viewers who had just entered the stream.

It had to be said that Chubby had quite a talent for livestreaming. Within only a few minutes of starting, his viewer count shot up rapidly.

It had already reached over a thousand viewers.

"Right now, I'm getting in touch with Zhou En to remind him that he needs to watch out for danger while chasing girls. Of course, not danger from the girl herself, but from a group of people who are probably itching to beat him up."

Chubby rambled on as he called Zhou En.

"Beep, beep, beep."

"Hello, Zhou En, where are you?"

"I'm at the back mountain behind the school's Snack Street, where the residents used to dump their garbage."

"What? That place? Did Li Hui and his group intercept you? Didn't I tell you to be more careful?"

Chubby immediately exploded, shrieking about how Zhou En was in the wrong.

He went on and on about Zhou En forgetting his brothers the moment he saw a pretty girl, forgetting his friends the moment he got a wife, and so on.

Zhou En, don't do anything stupid!

Zhou En impatiently hung up. If he had known Chubby was livestreaming, he probably would have wanted to beat Chubby to death.

"Zhou En, you actually dared make a call right in front of us." Across from him, Li Hui was in an extremely bad mood. He practically wanted to strangle Zhou En to death.
