Chapter 587 - 574: Is there going to be trouble?
They came and left in a hurry.
After Fei Ge’s gang boarded the seven-seater Jianghuai through the back door and sped away, the KTV staff finally realized what had happened. By the time they chased outside, all they could see were the dim, receding taillights of the van. Upon learning through the walkie-talkie that the occupants of Room 4012 had been kidnapped, the KTV manager panicked and scrambled to call the police.
「Jinling University, Men’s Dormitory」
Lying on his bed reading the *Classic of Mountains and Seas*, Qin Fan was suddenly struck by an inexplicable wave of panic. His heart began to pound violently, a sensation he had never experienced before. It felt as if something was being ripped from the very core of his being!
"Damn it! What’s going on?" he muttered, clutching his chest as he shot upright from his semi-reclined position.
His heart was racing with a sudden, uncontrollable, and utterly baseless fear.
"Old Fourth, what’s wrong with you?" Zhu Houqing and Wang Dalu exclaimed, startled by Qin Fan’s strange behavior.
"It’s nothing!" he replied casually, leaping down from the top bunk.
Ignoring their stunned expressions, he walked briskly out onto the balcony. He gazed at the vast, glittering expanse of city lights, but the feeling of panic and the frantic thumping in his chest only grew more intense instead of subsiding.
Is something bad about to happen?
His face turned deathly pale as he voiced the thought. Unable to suppress the growing unease, Qin Fan strode back into the room. He ignored his roommates’ bewildered stares, grabbed his phone, and returned to the balcony.
His hand trembled slightly as he dialed his mother’s number.
"Hello, Xiao Fan! You finally remembered you have a mother! Do you have any idea how long it’s been since you called?" Wei Shuying’s voice came through, tinged with playful reproach.
"Mom! Where’s Dad?" Qin Fan asked, his usual nonchalant tone gone, replaced by a grim seriousness as he pressed a hand to his aching chest.
"Your dad is right here beside me! Xiao Fan, what’s wrong?" Wei Shuying’s brows knitted with worry as she detected the urgency in his voice. Beside her, Qin Chu put down his newspaper, his eyes widening.
"It’s nothing, I was just asking. Mom, it’s getting cold in Jiangzhou, so you and Dad need to take care of yourselves. Don’t catch a cold! And don’t feel like you have to personally handle everything at the company. Just tell Ye Jizu and Ma Yunbin to do it. Alright, I’ve got something to do. I’ll call you when I have time. Bye!"
He rattled off the words and hung up before his mother could even reply.

Leaving the bustling city behind, the seven-seater Jianghuai sped through the deserted countryside.
"Fei Ge, where are we taking them?" the driver, a man called Long Hair, asked, glancing in the rearview mirror at the three women struggling against their bonds in the back.
"Let me ask," Fei Ge replied without looking up, his fingers busy typing a message on his phone.
*The birds are caged. Where to?*
After sending the short message, he looked up and took a deep breath, turning his head to look at the back seat.
"Er Zi, what the hell do you think you’re doing?" The sight that met his eyes made Fei Ge roar with fury.
"Haha, Fei Ge, do you even have to ask? For a seasoned whoremonger like him, a little groping is nothing! It’s a miracle he hasn’t dropped his pants and taken care of business right here! You have no idea how many times Er Zi has gotten busy in this very van!" Xiao Hei snickered, wiggling his eyebrows. He seemed completely unconcerned about having been seen on the security cameras earlier.
"Fei Ge, relax! I know my limits," Er Zi said sheepishly, pulling his hand back as he felt the heat of his boss’s anger. "I wouldn’t dare touch the one the boss wants. But these other two aren’t his targets! It should be fine, right?"
"Damn you! If you want to die, fine, but don’t fucking drag the rest of us down with you!" Fei Ge continued to yell, even though Er Zi had already backed off. "If you’re horny, you’ll damn well hold it in! When this is over, you can go find a prostitute or blow a fortune on a college girl for all I care. But if you dare touch any of these three women, your life is forfeit!"
Although Bao Qiudong hadn’t explicitly stated the purpose of the kidnapping, Fei Ge wasn’t stupid. He knew that the women their young master wanted were absolutely off-limits to subordinates like them. That included their friends.
"Fuck, is all this really necessary? What a waste of prime goods," Er Zi grumbled, swallowing hard as he looked at the bound and gagged Du Ruanqing and Ou Mingsi. His hands, however, stayed put.
"The phrase is ’a reckless waste of God’s gifts,’ you uncultured swine! Xiao Hei, watch him. If he tries anything funny, you have my permission to slap him!" Fei Ge ordered angrily.
"Ignorance is a terrifying thing! Haha, don’t worry, Fei Ge, leave it to me!" Xiao Hei declared, wiping his nose on his sleeve. "Er Zi, if you really can’t take it, just go to the back and jerk off! Haha!" he added, gloating.
BUZZ! BUZZ! BUZZ!
Fei Ge’s phone, sitting on the dashboard, began to vibrate. He reflexively snatched it up and opened the new message.
*North Suburb Old Cinema!*
The concise address flashed on the screen. After reading it, Fei Ge immediately deleted the message and ordered Long Hair, "North Suburb Old Cinema. Do you know the way?"
"I do!" Long Hair replied.
"Good. Get us there as fast as you can. The sooner we’re done, the sooner we’re safe!" Fei Ge urged.
"Got it, Fei Ge! Hold on tight!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Long Hair expertly worked the clutch, shifted into fifth gear, and sent the speedometer needle climbing. Just like Fei Ge, he wanted to get this job over with and find a place to lay low.
「Meanwhile, in Dorm Room 708」
Zhu Houqing and Wang Dalu exchanged a worried glance before walking out onto the balcony together. Seeing Qin Fan’s pale, trembling face, they were terrified.
"Old Fourth, what in the world is wrong? Did something happen? Talk to us!" Zhu Houqing asked frantically, grabbing Qin Fan’s arm.
"It’s nothing! Don’t worry about me!" Qin Fan said, raising a hand to placate them. As the crushing anxiety and dread grew heavier, he dialed Ji Yi’s number.
"Little brother! Shouldn’t you be out enjoying a romantic evening with little Yinuo right now? What made you think of calling your big sis? Don’t tell me you miss me, because I won’t fall for that, haha!" Ji Yi’s cheerful laughter filled the line the moment she answered.
"Sis, where are you?" Qin Fan asked.
"I’m at the hotel. What’s up?" Her hearty laugh faded into a tone of confusion.
"Oh, nothing. Get some rest. And call me if anything comes up, okay?"
With that, he ended the call again.
It wasn’t my parents. It wasn’t my big sis. So why is my heart reacting with such a powerful premonition? Could it be... Yinuo? Impossible! With Amber, a Dark Energy Peak master, secretly guarding her, how could anything possibly go wrong?
As the thought crossed his mind, Qin Fan’s breathing became ragged. The sense of foreboding intensified, growing heavier and more suffocating by the second.
Please, no... Please, no...
As Zhu Houqing and Wang Dalu watched in utter shock, Qin Fan kept muttering the words under his breath, his trembling fingers finally dialing Jiang Yinuo’s number.
