Gao Wu: I'll enjoy the benefits, but you'll bear the side effects.

Huang Muran only glanced at it twice before suddenly realizing something was wrong.

"Don't just stand there, didn't you see they're getting ready to get on the highway?"

Gao Jie didn't come by train, nor was he brought here by someone, so he had no idea that this road led to the highway.

He picked up his clothes quickly, looking hurried, clearly preparing to go out on business immediately.

Just then, Huang Muran, who was standing to the side, frowned and spoke up urgently to remind him.

"We're pressed for time now, and there's no time for such elaborate measures. The only way right now is to ask the sheriff for help and try to stop him. I think Hou Youcai is probably going to kill Huang Xu."

Gao Jie was still thinking about other options when he heard Huang Muran's words and immediately realized what was going on.

The situation is critical at this moment, and there is indeed no time to consider many other details.

The two made a quick decision, rushed to the roadside, hailed a taxi, and sped toward the highway exit.

So that they could intercept the other party in time.

Fortunately, the taxi they were in was traveling at an extremely high speed, speeding along the road like lightning; otherwise, at a normal speed, it would have been difficult to stop Hou Youcai and his group.

As soon as the car stopped, the driver asked with a puzzled look on his face.

"Aren't you two going to pay? You at least paid, so please leave. We're talking to you."

Huang Muran was extremely anxious and focused intently on the road ahead. Hearing the driver's words, he only glanced back briefly before patiently explaining.

"Brother, don't worry, we'll definitely give you the money for the ride, but not now. We're in a hurry to find our friend. Once we find him, we'll give you the money immediately. Please be patient, we're rescuing people right now, the situation is extremely urgent."

Upon hearing this, the driver looked even more puzzled, wondering to himself what these two were up to.

However, before he could think any further, he soon saw a very luxurious motorcade approaching in a grand procession.

Hou Youcai was peacefully resting in the car with his eyes closed, enjoying a moment of tranquility, when the driver suddenly braked sharply, causing him to lurch forward. He couldn't help but feel puzzled.

When he looked out the car window and saw Huang Muran and Gao Jie standing directly in front of the car, he was instantly enraged and muttered to himself with a gloomy expression.

"Well, these two young men are quite remarkable."

"I thought these two young men had behaved themselves after not seeing them for so long, I never expected them to be waiting for me here!"

Hou Youcai's eyes widened, and veins bulged on his forehead.

His already dark face was now flushed red with anger, like a piece of coal about to burn.

His lips trembled slightly, his words filled with barely suppressed anger and surprise.

As he spoke, Hou Youcai's face turned extremely grim. He never expected that these two young men would be so bold as to openly block his way.

The anger in his heart surged like a raging wave, constantly assaulting his last remaining line of reason.

He didn't want to waste any more words. Since the young man wanted to play this game with him to the end, he would play along!

"Let's go, get off the bus."

Hou Youcai gritted his teeth and squeezed out these words, his eyes revealing a hint of ruthlessness and determination.

He strode forward, each step carrying a powerful aura, as if the ground beneath his feet trembled.

Hou Youcai looked at the two of them and gave a cold smile. The smile was like an ice knife in the dead of winter, cold and piercing, making people shudder.

"It seems you've truly figured everything out, otherwise you wouldn't have come here, right?"

His voice was deep and hoarse, carrying an undeniable sense of authority.

"This is quite interesting. What kind of tricks are you planning to pull here?"

Gao Jie didn't want to waste words with him. He slightly raised his chin, his eyes firm and fearless, looking directly into Hou Youcai's eyes without backing down.

"Hou Youcai, as long as you release our friend now, we promise we'll never cause you any trouble. We'll act as if this never happened. From now on, you go your way, and we'll go our own way. How about we keep to ourselves and not interfere with each other?"

His tone was calm and forceful, every word resounding, as if he were issuing a final ultimatum to Hou Youcai.

"But let me tell you the truth, if you want to make a big fuss, we are not afraid of you at all. We'll fight to the death."

Gao Jie spoke with almost no hesitation. His body was slightly tense, ready to strike immediately if the other party showed any signs of distress.

However, Hou Youcai had lost all reason by this time.

He had only one thought in his mind: to get rid of these two troublesome young men in front of him.

He knew, of course, that these two young men were no ordinary people, and that if he didn't deal with them, he wouldn't be able to leave either.

The problem is that these two young men are not simple; they were able to accurately know his whereabouts and come to intercept him.

After thinking for a moment, Hou Youcai said with a cold smile.

"To be honest, I haven't seen such a united group of young people in a long time. It's quite interesting."

He crossed his arms and smiled slightly, but there was no kindness in his smile, only endless mockery and disdain.

"But I also have to tell you the truth, I'm not that simple. After all these years in the business, do you think I'd be fooled by two kids like you?" "Just look back now."

The two looked on with curiosity, but Gao Jie, being cautious, did not turn around.

The moment Huang Muran turned around, he felt a strong electric current pass through his body like a bolt of lightning.

His body instantly went limp and collapsed to the ground, his eyes closed and his face as pale as paper.

Gao Jie realized what was happening and tried to make a move, but unfortunately, everything happened in an instant.

He didn't even have time to make any effective resistance before he was struck by that invisible force. His body went limp, and he fell straight to the ground, losing all consciousness.

The two probably never imagined how cruel this guy was. By the time they realized it, it was too late.

They were like two prey suddenly captured by a hunter, powerless to fight back and left to their fate.

The two of them lay on the ground in a daze, unaware of anything.

Hou Youcai strode over.

He kicked the two men hard with his gleaming leather shoes to make sure they wouldn't get up and hurt him again.

So he waved to his bodyguards, signaling them to get the two men into the car as well.

The bodyguards, well-trained and quick, lifted the two men into the car.

The convoy then continued to the next location.

The scenery outside the window was like a flowing painting, but the car was filled with a suffocating atmosphere of death.

Hou Youcai also knew that if he didn't kill these two young men, his plans probably wouldn't go smoothly.

At this moment, he felt no pity or hesitation; killing one was the same as killing two.

Then let's keep killing like this and see who can cause trouble in the end!

Hou Youcai closed his eyes, his brows furrowed, and quietly pondered these matters in the dark carriage. His expression was sometimes ferocious and sometimes cold.

Before long, the convoy had arrived near the villa, which was about 50 or 60 kilometers away from the city.

Hou Youcai slightly opened his eyes and looked through the car window at the villa hidden among the green trees in the distance.

He secretly rejoiced at his own arrangement.

He knew that he had to be far away to do this kind of thing.

Otherwise, we'll be discovered in no time, and then what's the point of playing?

Once inside the villa, the bodyguards unloaded all the belongings and settled the three young men into a special place.

Hou Youcai changed into a set of light sportswear, and held two iron whips in his hand. He slowly walked towards the cage where the young people were imprisoned, with a twisted smile on his face that sent chills down one's spine.

"They can really sleep! We're already here, why are they still sleeping? Wake them up!"

His voice echoed in the empty room, carrying an indescribable eeriness.

"My son has gone to sleep forever. I can't let you continue to sleep so comfortably. I think I've been very merciful by not killing you right now."

"I think I'm just a naturally good person, don't you think?"

Seeing Hou Youcai's expression, the bodyguards could only laugh along. They knew Hou Youcai's feelings at that moment and dared not disobey him in any way.

As Hou Youcai smiled, a chilling light appeared in his eyes, a light like flames from hell, enough to devour everything.

He was determined to kill these young men as soon as possible to avenge his son.

Thinking of his son, Hou Youcai felt a sharp pain in his heart. He never imagined that the problem would escalate to this point.

The fact that the situation has become so complicated is something Hou Youcai had not considered at all.

Hou Youcai stood in front of the cage, his plans disrupted by this sudden turn of events, filling him with resentment and unwillingness.

His face was contorted with rage, and his ferocious smile resembled that of a demon crawling out of the abyss of hell, exuding a chilling malice.

He slowly squatted down, and with a rough, forceful pat, gently touched Gao Jie's face.

Seeing that Gao Jie had no reaction, he suddenly reached out and slapped Huang Xu's face hard.

The "snap snap" sound was particularly jarring in the quiet space.

"You guys are all crazy! What happened? How did things get like this?"

Hou Youcai stood up, pacing back and forth while roaring at the top of his lungs. His voice echoed in the empty room, making people's ears ring.

"I've already told you, I'm going to finish them off quickly, and I'm going to make them feel death slowly approaching them. I want to see them become tense and break down, but why don't you know that?"

He turned around abruptly, glaring angrily at the bodyguards, his eyes burning with fury as if he wanted to devour them.

"I told you to wake up a long time ago, and to go easy on me, but you wouldn't listen. What are we going to do now?"

Hou Youcai grew angrier as he spoke, and the veins on his forehead bulged out like twisted earthworms.

His hands waved in the air, as if searching for a target to vent his anger.

"You bunch of bastards, you're really testing my confidence! Do you really want me to beat you up?"

The bodyguards were silenced by the scolding, each with their heads down, not daring to breathe, their bodies trembling slightly, standing obediently to the side.

They knew that Hou Youcai's anger had reached its peak, so they could only wait silently, hoping that he could vent his anger as soon as possible.

After a long while, Hou Youcai seemed to have finally vented his emotions.

He angrily threw the whip in his hand aside.

The sound of the whip hitting the ground seemed to be a signal that the storm had temporarily subsided.

However, the tension and fear in the air did not diminish at all.
