"Cousin-in-law, why are you here to pick me up? Where's Cousin?"
Liu Yingting asked as she got into the car.
She had been in Rongcheng for over a week, and in another two or three days, her visa would expire, and she would have to return.
So today, Liu Shishi had arranged to go shopping for some local specialties with her to bring back for her parents.
In reality, with online shopping nowadays, anything in the world could be bought.
But Liu Shishi felt that since her cousin had come all the way here, it wouldn't be right for her to go back empty-handed.
Even if Liu Yingting's parents lacked nothing, it could still be considered filial piety towards her aunt and uncle.
However, Liu Yingting hadn't expected that after waiting for a while, it would be Du Fei who showed up.
Du Fei waited for Liu Yingting to close the door, then started the car.
"Your cousin has a last-minute meeting to attend. It won't end for another hour. She asked me to pick you up."
Liu Yingting had an expression that said, "I knew it would be like this," which made Du Fei chuckle.
Du Fei drove Liu Yingting to West Street.
Speaking of West Street, it was very famous in Rongcheng.
Everything imaginable was sold there.
Besides various shops, West Street also had a large area designated for street vendors.
Compared to the exorbitant rent of shops, the vendor area only required a small stall fee to rent a spot and sell goods.
"How much for this?"
"How much is this?"
"Oh, this is so cute."
In no time, Liu Yingting had bought a large pile of trinkets.
Afterward, they continued to browse for a while. Du Fei checked the time, and Liu Shishi should be arriving soon.
So he suggested that Liu Yingting put her purchases in the car first and then wait for Liu Shishi at the entrance.
Liu Yingting also felt she had bought quite a lot and it was inconvenient to keep carrying them. She nodded and followed Du Fei towards the entrance.
...
"The guy we're dealing with this time is a professional. Be sharp, everyone."
A man of medium build said to the people around him.
Although these people looked ordinary, anyone would find themselves stealing glances at them.
Because they all exuded a strong aura of menace, especially when their expressions turned cold, giving a chilling sensation that inspired fear.
"Brother Zhou, don't worry. We're not greenhorns. We've all faced death several times. We know what we're doing."
"Yeah, Brother Zhou, you know our background since you hired us. No matter how strong this guy is, he's out of luck meeting us."
"We in the Da Quan gang always get the job done. You were one of us, Brother Zhou, so there's no need for these extra words."
The men around the leader were all defiant, and their tone was rather aggressive when they spoke.
However, the man knew that these men, including himself back then, were just accustomed to it.
Ring, ring.
Ring, ring.
Brother Zhou took out his phone.
After a brief exchange, Brother Zhou hung up.
"The boss called. He said the guy we need to deal with is on West Street. The man can be killed, but the woman must be captured alive."
Brother Zhou glanced at them, then got into the car and set off.
...
"Cousin-in-law, if I were him, I definitely couldn't handle a girlfriend like you."
When Liu Shishi arrived, Liu Yingting immediately said.
Liu Shishi smiled and looked at Liu Yingting, "Oh, what's wrong, Cousin? Your tone sounds like you're defending your cousin-in-law."
She then glanced at Du Fei. Du Fei was also confused by Liu Yingting's words, so he shrugged, indicating it had nothing to do with him.
"Exactly! You're always working, working, working. Couples these days are inseparable, wanting to be together twenty-four hours a day. Someone like you, tsk tsk tsk."
Liu Yingting surveyed Liu Shishi and then shook her head.
Liu Shishi hadn't expected Liu Yingting to say something like that.
But thinking about it, she seemed to have indeed invested too much time in her work, sometimes neglecting the people around her.
"Alright, your cousin is here now. Let's go in and buy some things."
Du Fei suddenly spoke up, interrupting Liu Shishi's thoughts, and walked forward first.
Following him, Liu Yingting linked arms with Liu Shishi and followed.
This time, the three of them entered West Street and discussed what to buy as they walked.
They shopped for a full two hours, buying almost all the local specialties of Rongcheng.
"Cousin, I say, why don't you and Cousin-in-law move your market to my place? Buying so much, how am I supposed to get it on the plane?"
Liu Yingting held up her purchases, and Du Fei and Liu Shishi also had their hands full.
Liu Shishi laughed, "What are you worried about? We'll just have it shipped over. Don't worry, my dear Liu, I won't let you do all the heavy lifting."
As they were talking, Du Fei began loading the purchased items into the trunk.
While loading, Du Fei suddenly felt a jolt.
Immediately, he casually glanced around.
"What's wrong? Is something the matter?"
At that moment, seeing Du Fei looking around, Liu Shishi asked.
Du Fei smiled and shook his head, "Nothing. The stuff is loaded. Let's get in the car and go back."
Liu Shishi nodded and got into the car with Liu Yingting.
Du Fei got into the driver's seat, started the car, and kept his eyes on the rearview mirror.
"Huh, Cousin-in-law, this road doesn't look like the way home, does it?"
Although she had only been in Rongcheng for a few days, Liu Yingting was sharp and remembered any road she had traveled.
So after Du Fei had driven for a while, she curiously asked.
Before Liu Shishi could respond, she heard Du Fei say seriously, "There's a car following us."
"What!"
"There's a car following us? Which one is it?"
Upon hearing Du Fei say they were being followed, Liu Yingting instinctively looked back.
Liu Shishi became a bit nervous, "Really, Du Fei? Are you sure you're not mistaken?"
Du Fei glanced at the rearview mirror again and said, "I wish I were mistaken."
As soon as the three of them left West Street, Du Fei's senses had warned him that someone was watching them.
When Du Fei casually looked around, he noticed a black sedan parked not far away, with two men inside staring at them.
Then, as soon as Du Fei's car started, the other car immediately followed.
After leaving West Street, Du Fei deliberately drove around the area for a bit, but the other car was still closely tailing them.
This was also because Du Fei's alertness far surpassed that of ordinary people; otherwise, he wouldn't have noticed so quickly.
Liu Shishi and Liu Yingting both became a little nervous. Du Fei, meanwhile, was driving and thinking about how to deal with the car following them.
