Brother Pao's eyes lit up: "A real big gift?"
"It's real. Didn't General Manager Yao make it clear on stage earlier? To express our supermarket's apology and sincerity, we’ve specially prepared this gift for you."
"However, the gift is a bit... special. It’s not really suitable to hand it over in public. So General Manager Yao specifically instructed us to invite you gentlemen to a quieter... more private place, where we can serve you more attentively... more thoughtfully."
Yu Xin spoke with a hint of coquetry in her voice, paired with her innocent appearance and those suggestive words, instantly stirring up dirty thoughts in Brother Pao and his men.
A valuable gift? And a private handover?
"Brother Pao, Manager Yao is really considerate, too damn generous!" The underlings grinned from ear to ear.
They had been upset about losing the car earlier, but now, the prospect of some fun with these beauties seemed worth it.
Brother Pao was also overjoyed and agreed without hesitation: "Alright then, ladies, lead the way. Let’s see what kind of big gift Manager Yao has prepared for us! Hahaha..."
Only Song Hui sensed something was off. He knew Yao Qianshan well—she would never resort to such methods to please anyone.
But Brother Pao and the others were already spellbound by the girl’s words. Even if he tried to warn them, it was pointless.
Brother Pao and his crew weren’t completely naive—they considered the possibility of a setup. But they weren’t afraid.
After all, the supermarket wasn’t going anywhere, and they were seasoned troublemakers. Even though they weren’t in their home turf of Great Southern City, they had over a hundred brothers backing them up.
What was there to fear from two little girls?
When they followed Yu Xin and Li Xiaohui to a fenced-off construction site not far from the supermarket, Yu Xin suddenly stopped. Her smile vanished.
"Here we are. Private enough."
Brother Pao and his men glanced around. The place was indeed remote—just a few sheet-metal sheds and some dug-out pits, clearly an undeveloped construction site.
But they weren’t picky about the setting.
If the two girls didn’t mind, why should they?
Unaware of the danger, they grew even more excited.
Brother Pao rubbed his hands together and leered as he stepped forward: "Heh, little ladies, where’s that compensation gift? Or are you two the 'gifts'?"
Li Xiaohui stepped forward and clapped her hands. "Your gift is here!"
As soon as she spoke, dozens of black-clad young men appeared at the entrance, each bearing the distinctive emblem of the Ten Thousand Dragons Society.
Brother Pao and his men froze at the sight of the sudden ambush. Their first instinct was to run.
But escape was impossible unless they could scale the walls in seconds—which was unrealistic.
"Elder Sister Xin! Elder Sister Hui!"
"Elder Sister Xin! Elder Sister Hui!"
"Elder Sister Xin! Elder Sister Hui!"
The group of men greeted Li Xiaohui and Yu Xin in unison.
Only then did Brother Pao realize these intimidating men in black were allied with the two girls.
And it seemed these girls weren’t small fry—they held considerable status.
He’d heard the leader of the Ten Thousand Dragons Society was a woman. Could it be one of them?
Before Brother Pao could even raise his hands in a gesture of respect, Li Xiaohui cut him off.
"Shh, don’t speak yet."
"Did you bring it?" she asked the newly arrived Ten Thousand Dragons members.
"Elder Sister Hui, we did."
One of the black-clad youths pulled out a pair of tweezers and handed them to Li Xiaohui.
She took them and grinned triumphantly at Yu Xin. "Elder Sister Xin, just watch me perform!"
She’d heard how Yu Xin dealt with those shoplifters before, so she decided this would be the perfect "gift" for these guys.
Li Xiaohui walked up to Brother Pao and his men, handing out the tweezers. "Here, a little souvenir from our supermarket. One per person—no hoarding."
Brother Pao and his crew had no idea why they were being given tweezers, but they didn’t dare refuse. They took them obediently.
"Brother Pao, are they expecting us to fight with these?"
"No way! That’s just unfair. They’ve got batons, and we’ve got tweezers? Plus, they outnumber us!"
Li Xiaohui smirked at their nervous expressions. "Got your 'gifts'? Fine, we’ll give you a chance—call for backup."
Brother Pao narrowed his eyes. "You’re really letting us call for help?"
Li Xiaohui scoffed. "My word is my bond. Call whoever you want!"
She and Yu Xin had already learned from Yao Qianshan that this group had exploited a loophole in the supermarket’s service, costing them nearly a hundred thousand.
Zhao Tianyi was already involved, and evidence was being gathered.
The fact that they’d scammed the supermarket so quickly meant they were part of a larger operation. Sister Yutong had also texted them, confirming their identities.
These thugs were from Great Southern City, likely targeting the Ten Thousand Dragons Society—but their numbers here were probably limited.
Strike first, strike hard.
So after discussing it, she and Yu Xin decided to let Brother Pao call in all his men—and wipe them out in one go.
Hearing Li Xiaohui’s offer, Brother Pao wasn’t about to pass it up.
He quickly counted the black-clad men—around twenty. His own crew had a hundred. Five to one odds—more than enough to crush them.
He sneered inwardly. These girls were too naive, too arrogant.
No wonder his boss said women couldn’t cut it in this world.
If he were in their shoes, he’d never give the enemy a chance to call reinforcements.
Without wasting time, Brother Pao made the call, summoning his men and giving them the location.
After hanging up, he tried to stall, buttering them up while waiting for backup: "So you’re the Ten Thousand Dragons Society? Impressive! Bright Pearl City’s gangs really know how to play fair—no ganging up on the outnumbered!"
"Next time you’re in Great Southern City, we’ll return the favor..."
Li Xiaohui cut him off impatiently. "Baldy, stop yapping. You’ve made your call. Now, let’s get started."
Brother Pao was baffled by the "baldy" remark—his hair was thick! But he caught her drift: they were about to attack.
"Wait! You said we’d fight fair once my men arrived! Starting now breaks every rule in the book!"
Li Xiaohui: "Who said anything about fighting? Fighting is illegal, you know? Ignorant fools!"
"You guys love taking advantage of others, don't you? Well, now I’m giving you a chance to indulge in it to your heart’s content."
"Wh-what do you mean?" Brother Pao and the others didn’t understand but instinctively tightened their grip on the tweezers in their hands, a bad feeling creeping over them.
"It’s simple. You’ve already got the tools in your hands."
With an expression of innocent cruelty on her delicate face, Li Xiaohui said: "Now, split into groups and use those tools to pluck each other’s hair—every single strand, from head to toe. Anywhere there’s hair, I want it plucked clean, one by one!!!"
