At this moment, hearing Meng Jingwei's words, Shu Yao's eyes turned red with emotion.
If her hands and feet weren't bound, she would have rushed to Meng Jingwei and hugged her thigh, calling her 'Big Brother'!
"Heh, I actually admire your courage."
Anthony saw the woman in front of him, wearing a fitted trench coat, a red scarf around her neck, and a collarbone-length bob. She had a sweet and lovely appearance, not at all like a top-tier fighter.
He then pointed to the thugs sitting nearby, "If you can beat them, I'll let Yao go."
Meng Jingwei's gaze flickered, she glanced at the thugs sitting on both sides, and couldn't help but purse her lips.
These... were no ordinary thugs; they were clearly trained professionals, at least mercenary level.
But... she had to do it to save Shu Yao.
After repaying Shu Yao's favor this time, she definitely wouldn't get involved again... Forget it, she'd worry about the next time when it came.
She thought to herself.
Then she nodded solemnly, "Okay. But it's cramped here, why don't you all come down and fight me?"
"Hahaha, this young lady truly has commendable courage."
Anthony readily agreed, raised his hand, and signaled to a few mercenaries with his eyes.
Among them, the four most burly and well-built men stood up.
Then Anthony said, "It's unfair to gang up on one. You fight them one on one, win against those four, and I'll keep my promise."
Looking at those four people, Meng Jingwei's mouth twitched.
No wonder she felt these people looked somewhat familiar from the start. She was wondering how she could know foreigners without ever leaving the country.
Now that she thought about it, weren't these the same mercenaries who had kidnapped her and Shu Yao onto the cruise ship back then?
Have her fight four at once?
A joke!
She couldn't even beat one of them!
"To allow me to compete with peace of mind, please have Shu Yao get off the plane and wait nearby. Otherwise, what if you run away while I'm fighting them?"
Since Anthony spoke Mandarin, Meng Jingwei had no communication barriers with him.
She just didn't expect Anthony's Mandarin to be much better than many farmers in the countryside.
"No problem."
Being provoked by a woman, Anthony's interest was piqued. He happily agreed and took Shu Yao off the plane.
Stepping off the plane, not from a height of one or two floors, her mind raced a thousand miles a minute, contemplating how she would rescue Shu Yao later.
Although Qing Sihua had also arrived, judging by the current situation, he intended to watch from the sidelines.
Meng Jingwei was somewhat displeased but also understood.
A few people got off the plane and stood in the open space beside it. Meng Jingwei eyed the mercenaries, feeling a bit daunted.
What the hell, what should she do?
She looked helplessly at Shu Yao, intending to give her a look to signal her to escape.
But who knew her gaze was directed far away, in the direction where Qing Sihua was standing.
He stood in the biting cold wind, smoking.
Meng Jingwei mused that it was quite good, at least it would let Shu Yao know what kind of person Qing Sihua was, and she could stay far away from him in the future.
"Little girl, stop dawdling."
Among the mercenaries, one of the most burly, with a scar on his face, stepped forward. Speaking in broken Mandarin, he beckoned to Meng Jingwei with a playful smirk on his lips.
Meng Jingwei remembered him vividly.
His name was Ben, and he was the squad leader among them.
"Come on."
Meng Jingwei "calmly and collectedly" tossed her bag aside, slowly took off the scarf from her neck, and pondered how to deal with these people...
Unexpectedly, a voice suddenly rang in her ears.
"Anthony, what a coincidence, long time no see."
The familiar voice, who else could it be but Qing Sihua?
Meng Jingwei's hand, which was holding the scarf, trembled slightly, and her face showed undisguised shock.
This guy wasn't he choosing to stay out of trouble? Could it be that he had a change of heart?
"Huai?"
Because Qing Sihua was standing with his back to Anthony, Anthony hadn't noticed his presence.
It wasn't until Qing Sihua walked in front of Anthony that he clearly recognized the other person.
Anthony let go of Shu Yao and walked towards Qing Sihua. The two bumped fists, acting like close buddies.
"Huai, why are you here?" Anthony asked, greatly surprised.
"I wanted to ask you, why didn't you contact me when you came to Lan City. Could it be that you've forgotten me, your friend?" Qing Sihua teased.
Throughout the entire process, the two chatted seriously, never once glancing at the people beside them.
Seeing the opportunity, Meng Jingwei immediately rushed to Shu Yao's side and removed the gag from her mouth.
She had originally thought that she would finally have a chance to speak and would shout, "Qing Sihua, save me!" but who knew she would say, "Meng Jingwei, save me quickly, wuwuwu... I don't want to go back to Country C with Anthony."
Meng Jingwei: "..."
Damn it!
Are you blind, can't you see Qing Sihua?
Not looking for your crush for help, isn't it to protect your crush? "Please be a person," Meng Jingwei gave her a look, tilted her head, and signaled with her eyes, meaning for Shu Yao to seek help from Qing Sihua.
"I can't."
Shu Yao's eyes turned red, and she stomped her feet anxiously, whispering, "Anthony will kill her."
Meng Jingwei, who was about to untie Shu Yao, paused and frowned, "Then aren't you afraid he'll kill me?"
"No, Anthony doesn't kill women."
Meng Jingwei: "..."
"Don't move!"
A mercenary nearby saw Meng Jingwei untying Shu Yao and immediately stepped forward to stop her.
At this moment, Anthony turned his head and introduced to Qing Sihua, "Huai, let me introduce you. This is my little fiery wife, Yao."
Qing Sihua looked in the direction Anthony pointed and saw Shu Yao's starry eyes gazing at him, her pitiable appearance surprisingly somewhat endearing.
"She is your fiancée? What a coincidence."
"You know each other?" Anthony was a bit surprised, then seemed to understand, "You're with this young lady and plan to stop me from taking Yao back to the country?"
Qing Sihua met Shu Yao's gaze, and she shook her head, seemingly not wanting him to admit it.
"Miss Shu is this little girl's best friend, and I am this little girl's seventh uncle. Anthony, would you be willing to give me, Qing, some face?"
Qing Sihua assessed the situation and, in front of Anthony, did not call Shu Yao 'Little Yaoyao' but maintained a distance.
"This..."
Anthony was stunned and didn't know what to do for a moment.
He hesitated for a few seconds, first cast a cold glance at Shu Yao, then stared at Meng Jingwei, frowned, and remained silent for a long time.
"This time, consider it a favor I owe you, Qing. Next time, I definitely won't interfere," Qing Sihua said calmly.
He had known Anthony in Country C and naturally knew of Anthony's affection and obsession with Shu Yao.
This time, he shouldn't have intervened.
But...
Qing Sihua's meaningful gaze fell on Meng Jingwei.
