Ye Qiu didn't wait long at the airport; the plane landed after half an hour.
Soon, a large group of at least twenty people came over. Among them, the oldest looked about sixty years old, and the youngest only seven or eight.
The one thing they had in common was that everyone carried backpacks of varying sizes; not a single proper suitcase among them.
Moreover, they all dressed simply and looked weary from traveling.
In the crowd, a young girl about seventeen or eighteen, dressed in a white T-shirt and sky-blue jeans, and looking quite pleasant, spotted the sign in Ye Qiu's hand from a distance and ran over excitedly.
"You must be Brother Ye Qiu, right? I'm Huang Zhentian's sister, Huang Miaomiao!" The girl's eyes were very clear, her appearance sweet, her voice lively.
"Hello, I'm Ye Qiu. I didn't know Zhentian had such a pretty sister." Ye Qiu said with a smile.
After speaking, Ye Qiu jogged up to help them with their belongings. Despite his average-looking build, he was quite strong, managing to carry eight or nine bags by himself.
Ye Qiu's intense enthusiasm left a good impression on these simple people.
"Madam, you can just call me Ye."
"Sir, Zhentian and I are good brothers. If anything happens, and he's not around, you can just talk to me."
"Little sister, your brother and I are like brothers. If anyone bullies you, just let me know, and I'll go teach them a lesson."
Along the way, Ye Qiu became well acquainted with them.
Since the plane landed at noon, Ye Qiu took them to a seemingly ordinary restaurant, which he had booked in advance, that was actually renowned for its exquisite taste.
The private room was packed with people, very lively, with everyone happily toasting each other at the table.
Occasionally, someone asked where Huang Zhentian and the others had gone and when they'd return, to which Ye Qiu evaded by saying they were off on a secret mission.
"Brother Ye Qiu, I'm going to the restroom." The sweet-faced Huang Miaomiao, visiting a big city for the first time, was still a bit shy and saw Ye Qiu as an older brother, so she felt the need to inform him about everything.
"Go ahead." Ye Qiu nodded with a smile.
Just after clinking glasses with Huang Miaomiao's father, Ye Qiu watched as Huang Zhentian's mother, who had just gone out to relieve herself, rushed back in with a panicked expression, saying, "Honey, quickly come out, Miaomiao is being harassed."
"What's going on?" Ye Qiu's face turned cold as he stood up and walked toward the outside.
The Demon Squad members had risked their lives for him, and now their situations were uncertain; Ye Qiu was most concerned about them. Unexpectedly, trouble had followed them into the city.
Thinking of this, Ye Qiu's expression turned extremely cold.
Those around noticed the change in Ye Qiu's expression and suddenly felt as though the temperature in the room had dropped several degrees, with the seemingly gentle young man appearing different.
"Ye Qiu, a man is trying to harass our Miaomiao. Come quickly and take a look." Huang Zhentian's mother said with a distressed expression.
As soon as Ye Qiu stepped out of the private room, he saw, not far away, Huang Miaomiao surrounded by seven or eight people, with one man in the lead showing a lewd expression as he reached out to grope Huang Miaomiao's chest!
"Stop!" Ye Qiu's eyes burned with anger!
At this moment, Wang Longfei and his subordinates heard Ye Qiu's shout and turned their heads.
They were initially taken aback, seeing a large group coming out from behind Ye Qiu. However, upon recognizing their rural attire, they quickly felt at ease.
Just a bunch of country bumpkins!
Immediately, their faces were filled with disdain.
With a look of contempt, Wang Longfei said coldly, "Kid, you better get lost, this isn't something you can handle."
Seeing herself surrounded by seven or eight burly men, and with Ye Qiu being alone, Huang Miaomiao was terrified and shouted in panic, "Brother Ye Qiu, call the police!"
She clearly felt that relying on Ye Qiu alone couldn't save her.
"Yes, call the police!"
"It's broad daylight, doing such things, let the police deal with you."
The family members of the Demon Squad were all rural folk; they had never seen such a scene before, voicing their opinions but not daring to step forward.
"Ha, call the police? Calling the police is useless!"
One of Huangmao spoke disdainfully.
"Hmph, we don't believe there's no law in the city." An elderly man still held on to hope.
"Ha ha, funny, what do you country hicks know about the law?" a tattooed man jeered.
"In this area, Brother Fei is the law!" another Huangmao added.
Seeing his daughter surrounded, but being naturally timid, Huang Zhentian's father was furious yet terrified, hesitating to step forward as he took in the rough appearance of Wang Longfei and his garishly dressed accomplices.
This group was cowed by Wang Longfei's seven or eight men.
Wang Longfei, seeing the fear in these people, was utterly satisfied.
"Take the girl to the hotel," Wang Longfei confidently directed, baring his round belly with a grand gesture.
"Once we're done, if the police show up, we'll just pay a small fine."
Wang Longfei was notorious in the area, having done this countless times before.
As for the seemingly genteel Ye Qiu standing at the front, he was entirely ignored by Wang Longfei.
Whoosh!
A figure suddenly blocked Wang Longfei's path.
"You dare block me..."
Bam!
Just as Wang Longfei was about to speak, he felt immense force strike his stomach, sending him flying back.
It felt as if he'd been hit by a car, landing painfully as he continuously vomited bile.
"You dare hit me, boys, get him! Pull out the tools, I'll take the blame as long as he doesn't die." Wang Longfei wiped the bile from the corner of his mouth, furious.
Initially, Wang Longfei's men were shocked by Ye Qiu's strength, seeing him send such a hefty man like Wang Longfei flying five or six meters, an impressive feat.
But Wang Longfei was their boss, and considering their numbers and the weapons they had, they immediately brandished knives.
These were hooligans by nature, and knives were something they carried with them all the time.
"Kid, you dare mess with Brother Fei, today you're gonna bleed!" The leader of the green-haired thugs charged first.
Seeing the seven thugs all holding knives, Huang Miaomiao was terrified, her subconscious wanting to protect her gentle-looking brother from harm: "Brother Ye Qiu, don't worry about me, run!"
Ye Qiu gazed coldly at them, his eyes glinting with icy light!
