Only then did I learn that after I had texted Song Xiaotian, they had all been ready to give up on taking Wang Guofu alive.
After all, taking Wang Guofu away right in front of Du Yunting was almost impossible.
But when An Ning heard that Du Yunting was there, she suddenly grew agitated and ran straight toward the Teahouse to fight him to the death.
The Seventh Master reacted quickly enough to tell Song Xiaotian to put on an act with An Ning and stir up some chaos.
That was how the scene earlier had come about.
So none of them had discussed that scene beforehand, yet everyone had worked together seamlessly.
The Seventh Master and Meng Yifan had spirited Wang Guofu away right under Du Yunting's nose.
I had wanted to compliment Song Xiaotian and the others, but seeing that An Ning still hadn't calmed down, I said nothing more.
"Are you all right?" I asked her.
She shook her head without speaking.
I asked Song Xiaotian where the Seventh Master had taken Wang Guofu, and he said they had taken him straight home.
"What if Du Yunting knows where the Seventh Master lives?" I asked.
"So what if he does?" Song Xiaotian tossed his head. "I'll stand guard at the door. Let's see who has a death wish and dares to force his way in."

Song Xiaotian told me to ignore them and pretend I hadn't seen them.
Before long, we reached the Seventh Master's front door. We could already hear Wang Guofu screaming before we even went inside.
The Seventh Master had probably given him quite a beating.
