Xia He was about to speak when Shen Chong spoke first.

"Oh dear, comrade, don't ask her." Shen Chong said with an exaggerated expression, "You don't know, this Miss Xia was just complaining to us about how you guys are so helpful, but when you go back to Xiangfan, there's not even anyone to welcome you. It's so disheartening."

Dou Mei glanced at Shen Chong but didn't say anything.

Xia He's eyes widened: "You're talking nonsense!"

Zhou Mingyuan waved his hand: "Xia He, don't say anything yet. I want to hear what this guy has to say."

Shen Chong first looked at Xia He: "Miss Xia, you can't say that. You were just discussing with us how to shake off the people from your All-Knowing Talks."

She turned to Zhou Mingyuan and said, "She got angry because we didn't agree."

He pointed to the crumpled bag of jianbing guozi on the ground: "Look, I almost hit him just now."

Finally, with an innocent look on his face, he said, "Comrade, this really has nothing to do with us. We were just passing by and chatting when she suddenly exploded. If you want to arrest someone, arrest her. We are law-abiding citizens."

Zhou Mingyuan looked at the bag on the ground, then at Xia He.

Dou Mei finally spoke: "Shen Chong, stop talking."

Shen Chong shrugged: "Dou Mei, I'm just telling the truth."

Xia He trembled with rage, pointing at Shen Chong: "You're spouting nonsense!"

Zhou Mingyuan raised his hand to interrupt her: "Alright, stop talking and come with us."

He waved his hand, and the people from Na Du Tong immediately stepped forward.

Shen Chong and Dou Mei raised their hands in unison and followed them toward the alley entrance.

Xia He stood rooted to the spot, staring at the two men's retreating figures, gritting her teeth: "Why should I! I'm the victim!"

An employee from NaDuTong came over: "Miss Xia, please."

Xia He took a deep breath and followed them outside.

Just as she stepped out of the alley, Shen Chong suddenly turned back and winked at her: "I didn't see you refuse before, we were having a good chat." His expression was incredibly irritating.

Then he grabbed Dou Mei and ran away.

"stop!"

The man from Nadutong immediately gave chase.

Without a second thought, Xia He followed suit.

She had only taken two steps when a hand reached out and blocked her way.

Zhou Mingyuan stood in front of her: "Miss Xia, you don't need to chase after her."

Xia He glared at him: "What do you mean?"

Zhou Mingyuan said calmly, "Don't worry, we'll have someone chasing after them."

He waved to the side, and another group of people rushed out from the other end of the alley, chasing after the direction where Shen Chong and Dou Mei had disappeared.

Xia He sneered.

Chase? There's no way you could catch up.

Zhou Mingyuan gestured for them to come back to the office: "Let's go back to the office first. There are some things we need to understand."

Xia He said calmly, "My parents' side—"

"We've already arranged for someone to go there," Zhou Mingyuan interrupted her. "Someone will be in contact with your father."

Xia He took out her phone and called her father. She said a few words and that something had happened and she would be home later.

After hanging up the phone, she followed the people from NaDuTong outside.

The group chasing Shen Chong and Dou Mei ran for three blocks before finally cornering them at an abandoned construction site.

Shen Chong stood in front of a pile of steel bars, grinning, "Comrades, you must have had a tough chase, right? Want to take a break?"

The leader's legs buckled, "Oh no..."

Before he could finish speaking, he collapsed to the ground.

The others followed suit, falling to the ground in all sorts of crooked and twisted positions.

Some people struggled to get up, but their limbs wouldn't obey them, and they couldn't muster any strength.

A fat monk walked out of the alley next door, looking at them with a smile.

"Gentlemen, please lie down here and rest for a while. Don't chase after them anymore."

Shen Chong looked at the NaDuTong employees lying all over the floor and clicked his tongue twice: "Gao Ning, you were actually quite gentle."

Gao Ning waved his hand: "If someone is killed, Na Du Tong will hold you accountable no matter what."

Shen Chong clapped his hands: "Let's go, let's talk somewhere else."

The three of them disappeared into the depths of the alley.

……

In the factory.

Xia He's father, Xia Weidong, was watching the production line when a middle-aged man in a Nadutong uniform walked over, smiling as he handed over a business card.

"Boss Xia, right? I'm Chen Jianguo, the business manager of the Xiangfan branch of Nadutong."

Xia Weidong took the business card, somewhat puzzled. He certainly knew about Na Du Tong; most of the goods shipped from the factory to other places were handled by Na Du Tong. However, the warehouse manager handled the orders directly, and he hadn't met with the sales manager yet: "What do you need me for?"

Chen Jianguo nodded: "We heard that Boss Xia's batch of goods is going through several major distributors, so we came here specifically to see if there are any opportunities for cooperation."

Xia Weidong was even more puzzled: "Ah, this... isn't a very big order."

Chen Jianguo explained with a smile, "Those distributors are all our long-term clients. They said that Boss Xia's batch of goods is of excellent quality, so we thought we would come over in advance to discuss whether we could take over the future express delivery business."

Xia Weidong thought for a moment and said, "That's a good thing, but I need to finish shipping this batch of goods before the New Year."

Chen Jianguo patted his chest and assured him, "No problem, we have an express channel, it can reach major cities across the country within three days. And Boss Xia, rest assured, our prices are absolutely fair."

Xia Weidong nodded: "Okay, let's talk about the specifics of how we'll cooperate."

Dou Mei sat on the sofa and said to Shen Chong in a gentle tone, "You went too far with Xia He today."

Shen Chong leaned against the wall, speaking sarcastically: "Dou Mei, I'm only doing this for our own good. That girl is impervious to reason, neither soft nor hard approaches work. If we drag this out any longer, it'll be too late."

Dou Mei shook her head: "Using her parents to threaten her will only make her resent us."

Shen Chong laughed out loud: "Let her hold a grudge. Once she figures things out, she'll naturally thank us."

Dou Mei paused for two seconds, then said, "But what if she can't figure it out?"

Shen Chong said sincerely, "Dou Mei, you're too soft-hearted. There's nothing in this world that you can't understand; there are only people who don't want to understand."

Gao Ning opened his eyes, looked at the two of them, and said with a compassionate voice, "Why should you two argue over a little girl?"

Shen Chong turned to look at Gao Ning: "Gao Ning, what brilliant idea do you have?"

Gao Ning clasped his hands together: "This humble monk believes that Xia He is a promising talent, worth waiting for patiently. But what about her parents..."

He paused, then smiled compassionately: "If you are accidentally frightened, that is just a mortal's fate, something you can't avoid."

Dou Mei frowned: "Isn't this a threat too?"

Gao Ning shook his head: "It's not a threat, it's a reminder. Let her know that ordinary people living in this world can encounter accidents at any time. Car accidents, fires, sudden illnesses—no one can predict these things."

He turned back, his smile still compassionate: "We don't need to do anything. We just need to let her scare herself. When she can't take it anymore, she'll naturally come to us."

Shen Chong gave a thumbs up: "Master Gao, you've got a brilliant idea."

Dou Mei sighed, "You guys..."

……

Nadutong office building.

Xia He was led into a lounge, the door was closed, and no one paid any attention to her.

She sat for a while, then stood up, walked to the door, and opened it.

An employee stood outside the door and smiled at her: "Miss Xia, please go back and rest first. Someone will come to find you in a little while."

Xia He stared at him: "What do you mean? Are you treating me like a criminal?"

The man kept smiling and didn't say anything.

Xia He slammed the door shut, took out her phone, and called Liao Zhong.
