Hearing the man's command, the youth appeared somewhat confused. "Boss, is the thing in that woman's hand very valuable? I think it's not as valuable as our bronze cauldron. How about we send someone to snatch our bronze cauldron back?"
The man frowned slightly. "What do you know? That pumpkin pot can buy more than a dozen bronze cauldrons!"
"What!" The youth's eyes widened instantly.
"What are you still standing there for? Hurry up and send someone over!" the man ordered.
The youth quickly nodded in agreement. "Yes, boss, I'll send someone to stop them right away!"
After speaking, the youth hurried away.
A greedy look appeared on the man's face.
In fact, the man hadn't been sure before if the item in Lin Wan'er's hand was real.
But when he saw Chen Mo unhesitatingly spend a hundred million to buy that bronze cauldron, he knew that the item in Lin Wan'er's hand was very likely genuine!
Thinking of this, the man couldn't help but show an excited expression. "Chen Ziqi's pumpkin pot, this time, I'm going to get rich!"
Meanwhile, after Chen Mo left the small courtyard with Lin Wan'er.
He once again sensed someone following them.
This caused Chen Mo's brow to furrow slightly, and he also slowed his pace.
Lin Wan'er looked at Chen Mo beside her curiously. "What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"
Chen Mo shook his head.
Lin Wan'er seemed bored and checked the time. "Shall we go back?"
Chen Mo responded, "It might not be so easy for us to leave now."
"Why?" Lin Wan'er's delicate eyebrows furrowed, her expression full of confusion.
Chen Mo pointed to Lin Wan'er's ample chest.
Seeing this, Lin Wan'er's small face instantly turned red. She looked at Chen Mo vigilantly. "You, what do you want to do? Don't think you can do whatever you want just because you're handsome and have some money."
Chen Mo's eyes twitched uncontrollably. "Miss Lin, I was talking about the pumpkin pot in your arms."
"Ah?" This time, Lin Wan'er's small face turned even redder, wishing she could find a crack in the ground to crawl into!
Sensing Lin Wan'er's embarrassment, Chen Mo couldn't help but chuckle. "I say, Miss Lin, what do you think I'm going to do to you?"
"If I remember correctly, your public identity is also my girlfriend."
Upon hearing this, Lin Wan'er was so shy she almost buried her face in her chest.
She couldn't help but glare at Chen Mo reproachfully. "Who told you not to speak clearly? And I was your girlfriend back then, which also helped you get Hengchang Real Estate. You should be grateful to me."
Chen Mo smiled helplessly. If his background hadn't been strong back then, he might not even have the right to stand here alive now.
Lin Wan'er quickly changed the subject. "You still haven't told me why you said we couldn't leave just now."
Chen Mo observed their surroundings, then took Lin Wan'er's slender hand and walked towards an alley.
"What are you doing!" Lin Wan'er exclaimed in surprise.
However, she didn't resist, as deep down, she trusted Chen Mo implicitly.
Being held hand by Chen Mo like this, however, made Lin Wan'er recall the two misunderstandings she had with Chen Mo before.
"Anyway, he's seen everything he should and shouldn't see. Letting him hold my hand shouldn't be a big deal," Lin Wan'er thought to herself.
Soon, the two arrived at an alley.
However, the end of the alley was blocked by a wall, clearly a dead end.
"You, why did you bring me here?" Lin Wan'er's heart pounded rapidly.
After all, there wasn't a soul in sight. Chen Mo bringing her here inevitably made Lin Wan'er overthink.
"You'll know in a moment." Chen Mo didn't offer further explanation, instead turning his gaze towards the entrance of the alley.
Lin Wan'er lowered her head, her heart filled with inner turmoil.
"Actually, actually my father was quite supportive before, but after the incident last time, my father..."
"Hahaha, kid, you truly walk into hell when heaven's road is closed and hell's gate is shut!"
Just as Lin Wan'er was about to pour out her heart, a voice suddenly echoed from ahead.
At the same time, there were several hurried footsteps.
Lin Wan'er suddenly looked up and saw that more than a dozen figures had appeared before them!
The leader, with a fierce ghost tattoo on his head, was looking at them with a playful expression.
"Who are you?" Chen Mo asked coldly.
The bald tattooed man sneered. "Kid, you don't need to know who I am. You just need to hand over the pumpkin pot in the girl's hand, and I'll let you go."
"The pumpkin pot?" Lin Wan'er looked at the pumpkin pot in her hand in shock.
Then, as if recalling something, she asked, "Are you the ones the shop owner hired?"
The man smiled playfully. "Little girl, it doesn't matter who hired us. As long as you obey and hand over what's in your hand, I'll let you go. Otherwise, I don't mind if my brothers, seeing such a beautiful girl like you, do something inappropriate."
"How dare you! Do you know who I am?" Lin Wan'er questioned, her young lady's demeanor suddenly surfacing.
Seeing the man's unyielding expression, Lin Wan'er continued, "Let me tell you, I am Lin Wan'er, and my father is Lin Dehong."
Upon hearing Lin Dehong's name, the man's expression changed slightly. "You are Lin Dehong's daughter?"
Seeing the change in his expression, Lin Wan'er nodded proudly. "That's right. If you dare to touch a single finger of mine, I guarantee my father will never let you go!"
The man clearly hesitated.
However, soon, a sinister look reappeared on the man's face. "Originally, I was thinking of taking the item and letting you go."
"Fortunately, you just said your father is Lin Dehong, otherwise, we might have been in real trouble."
"What do you mean?" Lin Wan'er seemed not to understand his meaning.
"The meaning is very simple: we want the item, and we want the person too!"
Then he glanced at his subordinates beside him. "Tonight, after I've had my fun with this woman, she's yours! Once you're tired of her, sell her to a foreign brothel. As long as her father doesn't find out, who will know it was us?"
"Thank you, big brother!"
Upon hearing this, the young men, excited at the prospect of spending the night with such a beautiful young lady, cast greedy glances at Lin Wan'er.
Lin Wan'er was stunned.
She never expected things to turn out this way.
Even less did she expect that revealing her father's name would make things even more complicated.
Frightened by the men's gazes, she trembled all over and quickly hid behind Chen Mo.
Seeing this, the man burst into excited laughter. "Miss Lin, where is your previous arrogance? Why have you become a little lamb now, hahahaha!"
"You are shameless!" Lin Wan'er cursed angrily.
