"You guys should be finished eating by now, right?"

Someone walked out of the crowd with an arrogant and domineering look, heading straight for the table where Liu Chun and his companion were eating. Then, the others who had been there earlier also began to gather their courage and form a circle around them, gradually closing in.

Liu Chun glanced at the few dishes still on the table and didn't continue speaking.

"You're so quick to judge, look at all the food left on our table! What? Don't you understand the shame of wasting food?"

Liu Chun took the opportunity to give the person in front of him a good "education." Despite the oppressive scene of so many people surrounding them, the two of them showed no fear.

Seeing Liu Chun humiliating him like this, the leader's brows furrowed, and his face turned fierce: "I don't care whether these things are wasted or not, and you don't have to break these meals to beat someone up. Do you think doing this is wasteful?"

As soon as he finished speaking, several people came forward and took away all the tableware and food, leaving the table empty and clean in an instant.

Liu Chun reluctantly withdrew the chopsticks he had reached out to pick up food, and placed them on the table. The person next to him seized the opportunity and took them away.

"We still want to eat all this food. You've taken it all away so quickly. What are we going to eat now?"

The moment Liu Chun finished speaking, Pang Wenke stood up, ready to quickly take down the people around him and seize control of the situation.

"You're about to die and you're still thinking about food?" The big man looked at Liu Chun in disbelief, but he was still somewhat thoughtful, just not much: "How about this, after my brothers have successfully dislocated one of your hands and one of your legs, I'll treat you to a good meal."

"That means there's no room for negotiation!"

Liu Chun stood up, stretching out his hands, and looked solemnly at the people around him.

Before anyone could react, Liu Chun had already made his move, snatching the wooden stick from someone nearby and swinging it horizontally. The stick struck several people accurately, causing them to howl in pain.

Just as the burly man in the lead made a move, Liu Chun grabbed the weapon in his hand and pulled him back forcefully. Before the burly man could react, Liu Chun used a wooden stick to press against his forehead and delivered a spinning flying kick, sending him flying.

The people around the table swarmed toward Liu Chun and Pang Wenke, brandishing various sharp weapons and smashing them down at the opportune moment.

Along the way, someone slammed a wooden stick onto the table, breaking it in two. The stick then spun around overhead and landed behind them with a strong rebound.

"Old Ke, hurry up and take care of these people. We still need to follow Si Huajin and his group. I need to know where he took Liu Yifei!"

Upon hearing this, Pang Wenke stopped hiding his strength and suddenly roared, unleashing a powerful force that was far more formidable than before.

The arm, which had already lost much strength, suddenly grabbed one of the men, pulled him up with one hand, and threw him against the other wall, slamming him hard.

With just one strike, the opponent fell to the ground, howling in pain. He struggled for a long time but could not get up to attack Liu Chun and the others again.

Before long, all the people Si Huajin had arranged to take Liu Chun's hands and feet were lying on the ground struggling in pain, some even fainting from the pain.

Liu Chun and Pang Wenke exchanged a brief glance, and without saying a word, they ran out of the Western restaurant. As for whether these ordinary people were affected by the "antiques," judging from their overall behavior, these people were not affected by the "antiques"; they were just ordinary people.

In the car, Pang Wenke turned on his phone's location navigation function. Before entering the Western restaurant, he had followed Liu Chun to Si Huajin's car and installed a barely visible location tracker inside.

"Brother Liu, Si Huajin knew we would come back and take Liu Yifei away, so why don't the people around him show any signs of being corrupted by the power of the 'Ancient Artifacts'?" Pang Wenke asked, puzzled. As for whether the corruption of those people by the 'Ancient Artifacts' was just beginning or had already passed the dangerous period, just like Hai Xuan's performance, the monsters were all coming out of his body to do evil.

Actually, Liu Chun hadn't really paid close attention to whether those people's bodies showed any signs of being eroded by the power of the 'ancient artifacts,' so he didn't originally intend to answer that question.

However, since Pang Wenke had already asked, Liu Chun naturally couldn't refuse to answer; he would just say whatever he saw.

"Seeing how much you beat them up just now, and since their bodies didn't seem to have any unusual changes, they should just be ordinary people."

As the conversation progressed, even Liu Chun didn't speak with absolute certainty, since he hadn't actually used the system's power to observe, and he himself didn't possess the ability to observe the erosion of the 'antique' power.

After understanding the implication, Pang Wenke stopped asking questions. Now, his priority was to keep track of Si Huajin and their car and make sure they didn't lose sight of them.

……

The SUV carrying Si Huajin and her entourage headed west, seemingly preparing to leave the capital and head towards the suburbs.

According to Liu Chun and his team's investigation, Si Huajin does indeed have several places to go in the suburbs, and these places are very secluded, so ordinary people would not easily see their traces.

Liu Chun looked at Pang Wenke beside him and reminded him, "If you find that they drive into a secluded mountain forest later, remember to stop and keep your distance to avoid being directly exposed behind them, which would be very dangerous."

Alerted, Pang Wenke immediately slowed down his tracking speed and opened his phone to look at the terrain map, preparing to take a good look at their current location.

Liu Chun picked up the water bottle, unscrewed it, and prepared to take a sip when the car suddenly stopped and braked suddenly.

"What are you doing?" Liu Chun asked Pang Wenke, slightly annoyed. "Why did you stop?"

Pang Wenke turned his head and explained with a worried look, "Brother Liu, we should have stopped at the corner, but we've been in here with them for a while now, so we might have been noticed by Si Huajin and the others."

Upon hearing this, Liu Chun immediately began to observe his surroundings. In the quiet and secluded forest, everything was just as they had seen earlier, and there was nothing unusual about the surroundings.

"Brother Liu, should we continue following them or quickly turn back and leave first?" Pang Wenke was also full of hesitation and hurriedly asked Liu Chun for advice.

"Then let's..."

At that moment, the roar of engines came from behind, and in the blink of an eye, several armored vehicles appeared, rushing menacingly toward them.

"Brother Liu!"

Liu Chun quickly slapped him awake: "What are you standing there for? Old Pang, let's run!"

Pang Wenke reacted quickly, shifting gears and stepping on the accelerator in one smooth motion, and the car immediately sped off on the road.

"Luckily, we modified this car beforehand, otherwise we might not have been able to outrun these people."

"Stop talking nonsense, watch the road and step on the gas." Liu Chun urged, watching the cars behind them getting closer and closer, he was really worried that the people behind them would catch up.

"Bang!"

Suddenly, a bullet flew towards them and hit the car's rearview mirror precisely.

However, Pang Wenke changed it to bulletproof glass, and only a crack appeared on the mirror surface, showing no signs of breaking.

Hearing the sound of glass breaking but not actually shattering, Liu Chun immediately looked up in shock at Pang Wenke and asked, "How much did this car cost?"
