He said loudly, gesturing with his hands, his emotions running high, "That's right, I'm telling you, when I was captured this morning."
"No one in the crowd spoke, they were all stunned. Just as I was struggling, finally losing, in the moment before I passed out, as I was being thrown into the car."
His words caused everyone else to turn their gazes towards him. They all sat down, their expressions becoming noticeably more serious.
It wasn't that the meaning of his words was so captivating, but rather the animated expression on the young man's face made them all more eager to listen.
After finishing these few sentences, the young man paused slightly, his eyes sweeping across the room.
Seeing that he had captured everyone's attention, the得意 on his face was unconcealed.
He completely ignored the timidity and disheveled state he was in when he was captured.
"I saw a beautiful woman, with fair skin, long legs, and a slender waist, her delicate eyebrows furrowed."
"She stepped forward and blocked the car door, loudly questioning them, her voice in broad daylight was exceptionally pleasant to hear."
"Unfortunately, I passed out before I could hear her finish, and I don't know what happened afterward."
The young man was speaking with great animation, even varying his tone.
His facial expressions were quite animated, as if without the embellishment of these actions and expressions, it was insufficient to prove the truth of what he was saying.
"That beautiful woman was truly gorgeous, exactly the image of the goddess in my heart."
"Others are heroes saving beautiful women, but for me, it was a beautiful woman saving a hero."
He said, his eyes full of intoxication, looking ahead, lost in his own thoughts.
"Tch."
"I think your brain is fried."
"At a time like this, you're still thinking about beautiful women, are you stunned into silence?"
"You noticed her at the very moment you were passing out, fair skin, long legs, slender waist?
"Besides, even if there really was a brave beauty who stepped out to stop them, why are you still here?"
"If I were a beautiful woman, I wouldn't save you either, you? A hero?"
The young man's exaggerated narration was not only disbelieved by anyone but also drew a chorus of sighs and teasing.
The previously suppressed atmosphere instantly eased at this moment.
Even Xiao Qiang, who had been in the corner, stood up and walked to sit beside Li Zhonglou.
Amidst the back-and-forth chatter of this group, Li Duo'er also seemed to temporarily forget her previous grievances and anger, and joined in with the scoffing, a smile even appearing on her face.
"It's true, I clearly saw a beauty mole on her lip."
"It's a pity I don't know if I'll ever see her again."
Just as the young man was earnestly trying to assert that his words were true,
The words 'beauty mole' made Li Zhonglou's heart tremble instantly.
Although Li Zhonglou had been sitting on the sofa without speaking, his thoughts occasionally drifted as he analyzed the truth behind all these events.
However, he heard all of their words clearly. Upon hearing the words 'beauty mole,' his eyes immediately widened with a flash of brightness.
He secretly pondered, could it be such a coincidence? His senior sister had a beauty mole on her lip.
This behavior indeed fit his senior sister's personality very well: strong, independent, upright, and full of a sense of justice.
And she enjoyed helping others and righting wrongs.
Could it be that his senior sister had already arrived in Yong'an?
Thinking of this, Li Zhonglou couldn't help but feel a surge of excitement.
If his senior sister could come to Yong'an, it must mean she had a certain grasp of the situation regarding his disappearance.
Although, based solely on the young man's few words, he couldn't be so certain.
Yet, it still ignited a flicker of hope in Li Zhonglou's heart, and a curve appeared on his lips.
"Big Brother, you also think he's lying, right."
Seeing Li Zhonglou also show a hint of a smile, Li Duo'er mistakenly thought that Li Zhonglou shared their opinion.
As she sat down right next to Li Zhonglou, she spoke, habitually reaching out to link her arm with his.
Instantly, as if remembering something, she retracted her hand.
Although she really wanted to do so, ever since Li Zhonglou had sternly avoided her last time, she knew he didn't like it.
Even though her carefree personality meant she didn't understand what reserve was, she was quite attentive to Li Zhonglou.
Knowing that Li Zhonglou didn't like it, she no longer dared to express intimacy through actions.
Li Zhonglou smiled faintly and did not reply.
Instead, his gaze quickly shifted back to the young man in the t-shirt.
Just as Li Duo'er had sat down, Li Zhonglou clearly felt.
As before, a fleeting glimpse of a ruthless gaze was cast his way again.
This time, Li Zhonglou quickly pinpointed the source of the gaze, it was Yan Bin.
Yan Bin did not evade, nor did he quickly conceal his expression.
The ruthless look in his deep, dark eyes was now spreading further.
This Yan Bin was an orphan. When he was five years old, Li Hanlong adopted him from an orphanage.
Li Hanlong himself had no children, and after his wife died, he did not remarry.
Although Li Hanlong did not treat Yan Bin like other fathers treated their children, he still provided Yan Bin with multifaceted training from a young age and entrusted him with important responsibilities as he grew up.
Basically, regarding Li Hanlong's affairs, no one in the Li family understood Yan Bin better, including Li Duo'er.
For Yan Bin, from the moment Li Hanlong adopted him, his entire being regarded Li Hanlong as his dearest person.
Moreover, if needed, he would risk his life for Li Hanlong.
He also treated Li Duo'er as his own sister.
Upon hearing that Li Duo'er had been wronged this time, he immediately rushed over as instructed without a second thought.
As things had developed to this point, Yan Bin understood.
This situation was not as simple as it appeared on the surface. Li Hanlong had never mentioned this place.
And for him, who didn't even know about it, it was enough to show the importance of this matter.
Li Hanlong's reaction to this matter was also telling.
If it weren't for Li Duo'er, he wouldn't even know that Li Duo'er had been here during this time.
Although he didn't know how serious the matter was, at present, not only could he not help Li Hanlong, but he had also caused such a great disturbance.
The guilt and self-reproach he felt instantly turned into hatred as he looked at Li Zhonglou.
The culprit of all this was the person in front of him.
The reason why his hatred for this Li Zhonglou flashed and was quickly hidden before was simply because they had not yet been unbound.
Now, looking at Li Duo'er's behavior towards him, coupled with the fact that he had been hit by Li Hanlong for trying to put in a good word for this person earlier.
He didn't blame Li Duo'er for venting her anger on him; he only blamed Li Duo'er for not discerning right from wrong and still defending Li Zhonglou.
This kind of hatred deepened significantly.
Under the mix of these emotions, Yan Bin's eyes flashed with complex and changing expressions.
Li Duo'er, who hadn't heard Li Zhonglou's reply, followed Li Zhonglou's gaze and also saw Yan Bin.
Seeing Yan Bin's clearly hostile expression, even a murderous glint appearing,
She couldn't help but frown. She stood up and walked directly over, stopping between Li Zhonglou and Yan Bin.
She blocked their line of sight.
She didn't know why Yan Bin was looking at Li Zhonglou with such an expression, but no matter the reason, he couldn't possibly target her Big Brother.
And facing Yan Bin, she said sternly and angrily, "What are you doing!"
