Chapter 3792 The Work Behind the Scenes

The two seemed to be bickering and having a great time, but in reality, they were both very tense and constantly paying attention to the slightest movement around them.

After all, given their achievements today, it would be a huge loss if some madman were to successfully "trade them one for one".

They had already bought breakfast, but still couldn't find the person, which inevitably made the two of them start to doubt themselves.

"We chose to walk through crowded areas the whole time, maybe that would scare them off."

"I don't think so. Maybe he just hasn't caught up with us and is still waiting by the elevator."

"If that's the case, how are we supposed to get up there?"

"Call Li Menglong down here! How can he still be sleeping?"

Faced with Yoona's complaint, Seohyun reminded her, "What if he gets into danger?"

This sentence almost confused Yoona. Theoretically, this concern was indeed necessary, after all, Lee Mong-ryong was also a mortal.

But one of Lee Mong-ryong's job duties is to protect their safety, and besides, he trains his muscles day and night so that he can perform well in situations like this.

If Li Menglong hadn't been informed, he might have been disappointed, since such a situation where he could kill was quite rare for him.

Before Yoona could share her opinion with Seohyun, Seohyun suddenly dragged her to the side.

Caught completely off guard, Yoona fell heavily to her knees. But she didn't even have time to scream; instead, she quickly looked around.

Seohyun wouldn't make things up without reason. Does this mean she's discovered that person's existence again?

Yoona searched around but couldn't find it. Was it a problem with her eyesight? Or was Seohyun just being overly sensitive?
“I’m absolutely sure I’m not mistaken, it’s in that direction.” Seohyun lowered her voice and whispered in Yoona’s ear, “Don’t look up, or he might see you.”

"What are you afraid of? The two of us can easily run away. Why are you afraid he will catch up?" Although Yoona said this, she lowered her head obediently.

It's better to reach a consensus in times like this, at least in terms of actions; otherwise, she won't be the only one to suffer.

Seohyun ignored Yoona's words and dragged Yoona toward the security guards. She needed to ensure her own safety first.

But as soon as the two of them started moving, the person behind them suddenly started running as well, heading straight for them.

They're not even going to pretend anymore. Seohyun and Yoona don't know what triggered the other. Is there any point in running from such a distance?
However, once they realized the other's speed, the two of them forgot about the food in their hands and sped up, leaving behind a lot of food and drinks.

The two women's disheveled escape attracted the attention of passersby. Although they did not recognize Seohyun and Yoona, they could all see that they were in a sorry state.

So people in the distance were already pointing and whispering about this place, and a few brave individuals even came over to ask, "Do you need any help?"

Seohyun and Yoona were panting heavily as they looked back, but there was no one in sight.

However, the two could no longer doubt their eyesight; someone was indeed chasing them, and running quite fast.

Although the other party's identity could not be fully confirmed, the two women dared not gamble with their safety any longer.

However, neither of them accepted the crowd's good intentions. Their identities were ultimately somewhat special, and any seemingly plausible but actually false information placed on them could spark entirely new discussions.

If something like what just happened were exposed, the media might write some outrageous articles.

The key issue is that this kind of behavior is easily imitated, and they don't want to live in fear every day, so they could only politely decline everyone's good intentions.

However, they didn't dare go home. Who knew where that person would be waiting in this situation? So the two of them ran all the way to the security guards, which finally ensured their safety for the time being.

Li Menglong played an unexpected role in this, which surprised both of them.

When the two women arrived at the security guards' location, they didn't even have to say a word before the guards took them inside, while keeping a watchful eye on their surroundings.

Although the actions and procedures were not very standard, it was clear that the other party had prepared in advance. Could it be that they had encountered a "gang crime"?

Fortunately, they didn't say that out loud, otherwise they would have soon learned what it meant for the society to be dead.

The security guard in charge inquired about Seohyun and Yoona's situation while skillfully dialing a phone number.

They thought the other party was about to call the police, and the two even intended to stop them, since that would make things much worse, especially since they couldn't be sure of the other party's identity.

But they actually heard Li Menglong's voice, so what's going on? Could it be that he orchestrated this drill?

However, the two quickly dismissed this outrageous idea, because Li Menglong's voice was still very deep, clearly indicating that he had been woken up from his sleep.

"I am Li Menglong, and who are you?"

"I'm a security guard at this apartment complex. There are two of them here. Before, we—"

"Wait a moment." Li Menglong interrupted the conversation. He could vaguely hear the voices on the other end, but then his voice became much clearer: "Let them talk to me."

Looking at the phone in front of them, Seohyun and Yoona exchanged a glance, and in the end, Seohyun took it.

After briefly recounting the events, Seohyun emphasized, "I'm not entirely sure who the other person is. You'd better make sure everything is alright at home first. Yoona and I are safe for now."

"Yes, I know." Li Menglong's voice was calm: "You can stay there and relax. I'll be down in a bit. Don't be afraid."

Seohyun didn't answer further and instead handed the phone back. Time was precious; she didn't want to waste it on her and Yoona.

After all, neither of them was really hurt; if anything, they were just a little frightened.

Lee Mong-ryong then spoke a few more words to the security guard, which made Seo Hyun and Yoona very curious. Although they couldn't hear clearly, the security guard's smile never faded.

They could clearly sense that the other person's smile was not because of the two of them, but obviously because of Li Menglong on the other side.

The security guard's subsequent explanation to the two confirmed this: the series of actions had indeed been rehearsed, and under Li Menglong's supervision. However, it was all "spontaneous," and at least for the sake of money, no one actively objected.

As for why Li Menglong did this, we can now draw a conclusion, because it will indeed be effective at crucial moments.

Despite the suspicion that it might be a bit petty, the two women shared a similar thought: if the situation had been with ordinary residents, would these security guards have been so proactive?

Moreover, judging from the other party's enthusiasm at this moment, Li Menglong had most likely made promises over the phone beforehand.

Looking at it this way, the two were actually a little moved, because it seemed that Li Menglong had also secretly done a lot of things in places they didn't know about.

Although these preparations are likely to be unnecessary, or they may never even know about them.

If Li Menglong has made in-depth contact with even the security guards, then are there many other similar people around them?
The two felt they needed to ask Li Menglong about it; curiosity was just a side effect, they simply wanted to better protect themselves.

Of course, praise for Li Menglong was also indispensable; this man would probably be quite pleased with himself for a while.

The two women were lost in thought, not only shocked by Li Menglong's methods, but also disrupting their own train of thought.

Otherwise, you'll always find yourself thinking about the person who suddenly appears. Even though you've ensured your safety, you're still a little scared.

The unknown always brings terror; no one dares to say what that person might do.

The other person might just want an autograph, but it wouldn't be surprising if they pulled out a knife the next second.

From this perspective, wouldn't Li Menglong be in danger?
Although he displayed various strengths, especially in terms of physique, no matter how terrifying his muscles became, they were ultimately no match for weapons.

They were somewhat inclined to help, or at the very least, to reunite with Li Menglong; only then could they feel completely at ease.

The two realized each other's feelings and began to persuade the security guard in front of them.

Neither of them was confident enough to go over there on their own; doing so would just be delivering food to each other, so there was no need to be so proactive.

So it makes sense to bring people along, but the other party might not be willing, since there is still some danger involved.

But to everyone's surprise, the person on the other end agreed very readily and made arrangements with great care.

Not only did they bring along the security guards on site, but they also called in a group of more from the dormitory, creating an eerie sense of security.

Seohyun and Yoona were protected in the middle the whole time, moving little by little towards their apartment.

After a brief discussion, the two agreed that the person would continue to wait near the elevator. As for why the person wouldn't run away, would someone who could run away still be considered an extreme fan?
However, what the two were more curious about at this moment was how much benefit Li Menglong had given, otherwise these security guards would have been far too proactive.

This level of behavior can't be explained simply by having a good relationship. They're both adults, after all. Who would do this without paying them?

Seohyun and Yoona didn't object to this, and even felt that the deal was quite fair. To some extent, for them, problems that can be solved with money are not problems at all.

But this line of thinking should be unique to them. When did Li Menglong become so generous? Could it be that this man has a different face in front of them?
As they arrived at the entrance of the building, Seohyun and Yoona put aside their thoughts and began to focus on looking around.

Meanwhile, the security guards, taking advantage of their superior numbers, not only protected them but also proactively assigned personnel to guard the back and side doors.

"We must capture this person. Don't worry, everything will be done according to the agreement."

Although the explanation was rather vague, Seohyun and Yoona still understood the subtext: Lee Mong-ryong had probably promised to give them a considerable sum of money.

Who will pay for this? Will the company cover it, or will it be charged to them?

The sudden speculation made Seohyun want to laugh. Lee Mong-ryong was unusually generous, while the two of them were acting stingy.

When it comes to safety, no amount of money is too much. Besides, they have a bunch of older sisters, so shouldn't they contribute a little as well?
As the crowd gradually gathered, the space to hide became smaller and smaller, and everyone finally focused their attention on the downward-moving elevator.

Seohyun and Yoona were positioned at the very back, while the security guards in front had already prepared their weapons, waiting for the elevator doors to open so they could rush in and give them a little surprise.

Time began to slow down and become viscous. Xu Xian had never felt that the elevator was moving so slowly. Why did those bright red numbers seem to jump over an entire century each time?

Ding……

With a crisp notification sound, time finally returned to normal. Seohyun stood on tiptoe, not wanting to miss a single detail.

However, she was still too short, and she was squeezed at the very back of the crowd, so she couldn't rush over to help.

What was initially thought to be a swift and decisive operation turned into a series of unexpected events when the few who rushed in were quickly pushed out, and a burly figure slowly emerged.

Seohyun was a little dumbfounded. So many people couldn't subdue one person?
If the haters have this kind of fighting ability, why did they run away before? They rushed over as soon as they saw the two of them. Maybe they've already settled the ransom.

Out of the corner of her eye, Seohyun spotted Yoona. What was that woman up to now? Was this a battle she could possibly get involved in?
Seohyun reached out to stop her, but only touched the wind Yoona had created, and she had no idea what to do.

It wasn't until she saw the person opposite her pressing Yoona's head and forcibly pushing her away that she felt a sense of familiarity.

But the series of shocks still made Seohyun think along her original lines: Are all the haters so arrogant now? Even celebrities who take the initiative to woo you are now being looked down upon.
"What kind of look is that? Do you want a hug too?" Li Menglong offered his arms: "If it's Xiaoxian, I can consider sacrificing myself."

Seohyun was a little confused, not understanding why Lee Mong-ryong suddenly appeared, and where were the anti-fans who rushed out of the elevator earlier?

But she still instinctively reached out to hug her, only to be pushed away by Yoona's shoulder before they could even make contact.

The discrimination is too obvious. When Yoona took the initiative to approach him, she was pushed away, but when it came to Seohyun, Lee Mong-ryong was very proactive.
With so many people watching, is what Li Menglong did appropriate?

Yoona certainly wouldn't say that directly; she had other reasons: "Oh dear, it's dangerous here, let's run quickly."

Xu Xian finally realized that it was Li Menglong who came out of the elevator, which explained his fighting ability.

Where are the haters who were supposed to be there?

When it was just the two of them, they naturally wanted the other to get as far away as possible, but now that so many people have gathered around, they can't help but want to touch him. Don't be a coward, hurry up and rush over...
