After a thrilling night, I took a taxi with Cheng Minglang to rendezvous with Han Jinlun and the other two.
Although it was safe at this moment, there was no guarantee that Ying Baolin wouldn't play a trick to keep me by his side.
Therefore, after we met up, we had to leave Wenzhou as soon as possible.
However, it was a pity that due to being detained and watched for a period of time, Shen Mengqing and Xu Peiyu were both exhausted.
When I arrived at the small clinic with Cheng Minglang, both women were receiving glucose infusions due to malnutrition caused by low blood sugar.
Although the infusions would be finished a few hours later, it was best to avoid any further trouble in the short term.
So, it was likely that I wouldn't be able to leave tonight.
What I didn't expect was that Ying Baolin's revenge would come after just one night!
...
The next morning.
After finishing the infusion in the early hours, I didn't dare to let Han Jinlun drive too far. Instead, we found a small hotel on a street less than three kilometers from the guesthouse.
To avoid being exposed, I specifically instructed Han Jinlun to park the car behind the hotel.
Even though I thought I was being cautious enough, as soon as I woke up shortly after dawn, I heard Cheng Minglang, who had gone to buy breakfast, exclaim, "Something's happened! We're surrounded!"
Hearing this, I was immediately startled.
Cheng Minglang quickly walked to the windowsill and secretly lifted a corner of the fully drawn curtains.
After beckoning me over, he pointed to a Buick GL8 diagonally opposite the hotel and said, "When I went down to buy breakfast and passed by that car, I noticed that although the driver and front passenger seats were empty, there were people lying in the back seats!"
He paused, then pointed to another car parked by the roadside, a Guangben Odyssey, and frowned, "This car is exactly the same!"
"When I came back with the breakfast, I clearly saw movement in the back seats!"
"Two MPVs parked in positions to the left and right, front and back, with empty driver and front passenger seats and people in the back. Do you believe that's a coincidence?"
Upon hearing this, I immediately shook my head and replied, "That's definitely not a coincidence. It's probably Ying Baolin's people, specifically here to block us!"
"I'll go wake up Han Jinlun, and you go knock on the door of the room opposite to call Shen Mengqing and the others!"
...
About seven or eight minutes later.
The two women, who had been up all night without rest, both looked pale and weak.
Xu Peiyu, in particular, looked extremely haggard.
Shen Mengqing was a little better, as she had some martial arts background.
When I revealed the news that Ying Baolin had sent people to intercept us, both women were startled and then exclaimed in unison.
"Really!?"
"What do we do now?"
The first sentence was spoken by Xu Peiyu, and the latter by Shen Mengqing.
The two different sentences reflected the completely different states of mind of the two women.
One still found it somewhat unbelievable, while the other had already prepared herself psychologically.
I hadn't seen Xu Peiyu for a while, and I didn't know if she had become timid after leaving me and returning to her original life.
Or perhaps the days of being imprisoned and having her freedom restricted had made her feel panicked and fearful. In any case...
I felt that her mental state was not good.
Seeing that I remained silent, Xu Peiyu exclaimed in a flustered manner, "I don't want to! I don't want to be captured again and locked up!"
"This must be Yun Jin. Yun Jin sent people to get revenge on me!"
"As long as I go out, those people will definitely catch me!"
"Chen Xiang, help me! Help me!"
"I don't want to be captured and locked up again, to live that kind of dark, imprisoned life where you can't call out to heaven or earth!"
As she spoke, Xu Peiyu's eyes kept scanning the street through the small gap in the curtains, her eyes filled with terror.
This scene immediately made Han Jinlun, who was standing by, frown deeply. He gritted his teeth and angrily slammed the table, cursing, "Damn Yun Jin!!!"
"You worked at the club for so long, and just because you were involved with us, Yun Jin didn't show any mercy and locked you up?"
"If I ever meet her, I'll definitely vent your anger for you!"
When Han Jinlun looks at women, he always looks at their figures first and then their faces.
Therefore, I wasn't surprised at all that he would say something like a hero saving the damsel to Xu Peiyu.
However, now was not the time to tease him.
Because the enemy had already found us!
So, without any further ado, I said concisely, "We'll talk about taking revenge on Yun Jin later when there's an opportunity!"
"The most important thing at this stage is how to successfully leave the hotel and escape Wenzhou?"
As soon as I finished speaking, before anyone could react, I looked out the window again.
Then, I turned and walked towards the door, gently opening it to take a look outside.
The corridor was empty.
After coming back to his senses, Cheng Minglang immediately asked me what I was doing.
"Since Ying Baolin could send people to track me, but didn't intend to act immediately, what does that mean?"
Hearing this, a confused Cheng Minglang immediately asked with a puzzled look, "What does it mean?"
Taking a deep drag from a cigarette and forcing myself to calm down, I replied in a deep voice, "It means that the people at the door are definitely just the vanguard sent by Ying Baolin to monitor us."
"As long as they keep an eye on us, after a night of recuperation, Ying Baolin will definitely send a large contingent, or even come himself to arrest us!"
"If this deduction is correct, then perhaps you can guess..."
"Around what time will those large contingents who come to arrest us arrive?"
Upon hearing this, not only Cheng Minglang, but even the usually flippant and uninhibited Han Jinlun, suddenly turned pale with fright.
Just then, on the street just beyond the window, something unexpected happened.
The doors of the GL8 and the Odyssey, parked about thirty meters away on both sides of the hotel, were opened at the same time!
Immediately after, seven or eight people, all holding weapons such as steel pipes, cleavers, and clubs, descended from the two cars and rushed towards the hotel with menacing intent.
Seeing this sudden scene, even though the curtains were not yet fully opened, I knew exactly what was happening outside.
If nothing unexpected happened, Ying Baolin's large contingent... had already arrived!
"Quick, grab your weapons and be on guard!"
"Grab whatever you can, don't be empty-handed!"
The moment the words fell, I put my hands into the pockets of my pants on both sides, clamping the steel plates between the index and middle fingers of my left and right hands.
With open strategies no longer effective and insidious schemes exposed, Ying Baolin clearly had no intention of playing any more tricks.
He intended to use absolute strength to subdue me in broad daylight!
The revenge of a powerful figure is always so simple, direct, and efficient!
Since it had come to this, going out would be a sure death.
If I wanted to survive in danger, I could only use everything available to create an opportunity...
