Goon number 2 and 3 were scared out of their wits. If they were in their twenties, Su Ke wouldn"t be so anxious though. After all, these people were mostly just playing, but the people in the van were all a certain age. If he took action, it wouldn"t be so simple.
"Task: Protect Liu Qing Qing (Complete). Reward: Cooking Skill (Beginner)."
"Please accept it!"
"Hu!"
After seeing the notification from the system, Su Ke finally released a breath of relief since it could be counted as solving the situation.
He then turned his head and saw Liu Qing Qing"s frightened facial expression.
"Don"t be scared. They probably haven"t caught up yet!"
Su Ke then continued pulling on Liu Qing Qing"s hand before realizing that both of their palms were really sweaty.
"Brother Su Ke, did you just call Liu Fei Hong?"
Liu Qing Qing frowned while she spoke, making her even more perplexed that he called her in the first place.
"That"s right!" Su Ke noticed that Liu Qing Qing had directly called her sister by name, but he didn"t mind it too much.
"Sister Fei Hong should be rushing over here right and be here soon!"
"I don"t want to see her!" Liu Qing Qing didn"t know why, but she immediately stopped walking and her delicate face had a somewhat disgusted expression on it.
Su Ke"s forehead was filled with sweat as his mouth hung open, but he didn"t know what to say. He didn"t know what exactly happened between the sisters that caused them to act like enemies.
Fortunately, Su Ke"s phone rang at this time. Since it hasn"t even been 10 minutes yet, he didn"t expect Liu Fei Hong to be so fast. "Su Ke, where are you guys at?"
"h.e.l.lo!? We"re at Fu Qiang Shoe Shop inside Xing Gong Market!"
After he hung up, he looked at Liu Qing Qing awkwardly before speaking, "Sister Fei Hong has arrived!" While Su Ke was talking with Liu Fei Hong, Liu Qing Qing was gritting her teeth and breathing erratically with an undulating chest. It seemed like she was figuring out what to do. Looking into her eyes, it was obvious to Su Ke that she was uncomfortable.
When Su Ke suddenly felt like the crowd that was walking around the market was changing, he turned around to look and saw two people dressed in black military gear clearing the way in front of them.
When the crowd parted, he noticed Liu Fei Hong with short hair and a pair of sungla.s.ses hurrying forward. Behind her; there were four men dressed in the same black military gear drawing people"s attention. Liu Qing Qing conspicuously took a step back, looking like she wanted to avoid Liu Fei Hong"s gaze.
When Liu Fei Hong saw Liu Qing Qing standing behind Su Ke, she quickly walked over to her. "Qing Qing, are you okay!?" Her voice was full of concern while she completely ignored Su Ke.
She looked down silently, pretending like she didn"t see Liu Fei Hong.
"Nothing. Luckily there"s more people here. After we ran in, those people may have left!"
Even though Su Ke wasn"t clear on what happened between them, he also couldn"t stand the silence any longer and decided to break it.
"Brother Su Ke, I"ll leave first!"
Unexpectedly, after Su Ke finished speaking; Liu Qing Qing, looking firm, said a goodbye and turned around, wanting to leave.
Su Ke then quickly followed before speaking, "Qing Qing, what"s wrong?"
"Brother Su Ke, I"m fine! I"m just tired!"
Liu Qing Qing then forced a smile, but when she saw Liu Fei Hong, she just stood there, which was actually an improvement.
"Okay! I"ll go home with you, but I don"t know whether my bike is still there!"
Su Ke then followed Liu Qing Qing. It was only until they were out of the market did he find out that someone had picked it up and leaned it against the wall. He was about to make his way over there when Liu Qing Qing grabbed Su Ke"s arm and said, "Brother Su Ke, I"ll take a cab back! Thanks for bringing me out today. Even though I didn"t get to buy anything, it was still rather exciting!"
"Eh! Excitement is excitement, but I still hope that we can be a bit more relaxed! My heart can"t take it!" Su Ke saw that Liu Qing Qing had flagged a cab, so he didn"t say anything else.
Liu Fei Hong hid behind the crowd and watched Liu Qing Qing get in the cab.
She then said something before a man immediately got into another car that started following the cab.
"What exactly happened!?" It was only after Liu Qing Qing had left did Liu Fei Hong walk over to Su Ke"s side. Even though she was wearing a mask, he could still see her fury.
Before he could say a word though, a man came up from behind Liu Fei Hong and pa.s.sed her a phone.
She then waved her hand at Su Ke before answering the phone, "Speak!"
"You caught 1?" Liu Fei Hong didn"t stop frowning, and her cold voice stunned Su Ke, but he immediately recovered.
He then listened closely until Liu Fei Hong hung up anxiously asked, "You caught them?"
"Just one. The rest have escaped!" Her mood then turned sour. Since she was dressed in a black t-shirt and black military pants today, her clothes made her look really cold and was at odds with the hot day.
"Oh!" Could it be that fella that he caught had a broken leg? He did hear a bone break.
Looking at Su Ke"s dazed state, Liu Fei Hong immediately glanced around before suddenly asking, "Do you have time? I"ll buy you a drink!"
"Eh? Ah! I don"t drink alcohol!" Su Ke reacted and hastily replied. His alcohol tolerance was really low, but after looking at the slight curve of Liu Fei Hong"s lips that looked like she was smiling, he was even more confused.
"I"m not going to buy you any alcohol! There!"
She then pointed at a nearby store called Cold Touch, causing Su Ke to finally react.
"Okay! I"ll treat Sister Fei Hong!"
When Su Ke left the house, he actually brought a few hundred dollars this time.
They weren"t even until now, especially since he had accepted the handphone.
Even though it was given to Zheng Mo, it was still a really expensive gift.
"Alright!" Liu Fei Hong didn"t hesitate before nodding firmly and turning around.
She then walked over to Cold Touch while five men identically dressed in black followed behind her. When Su Ke immediately caught up and started following behind her as well, he heard another notification sound in his head.
"Task: Embrace Liu Fei Hong"s shoulder. Reward: 《Daoist School 12 Brocades》 Proficiency (Beginner)."
