Chapter 74 - Escorted

Yunfeng rolled around on his bed, biting his lips gently, thinking back to his romantic date.

"Ugh… I miss him already," he mumbled under his breath.

All of a sudden, something vibrated under his butt.

He jumped up in shock only to see his phone vibrating loudly. Sighing, he connected the call. "Jai~ do you know we went on a date… I really, really like him. How can I not? He is such a romantic at heart. I just want to kiss him and do stuff to him."

"AHEM!! AHEM!!!" Jai coughed loudly.

"Do you have a cold? Drink some hot water. So listen, my date went so well that I…"

"STOP!" Jai screamed. "My father is listening to this." He said with a dejected sigh.

Yunfeng instantly cut the call. 'What the fuck. Why didn't he tell me that in the beginning? Oh my god, what is he going to think of me?' Groaning, he quickly messaged him in fury. "You ass! Why didn't you tell me he was listening in? Huh! You bloody bugger. I just want to kill you right now!"

Jai called him again.

Yunfeng cut the call again.

Jai's message came through. "Pick up the call. These giants are waiting to talk to you."

Yunfeng frowned. "Why?" he messaged back.

"I don't know, you tell me. You said some strange stuff to them last time when you brought those food items. Now attend the call."

"Oh, so it's about that," Yunfeng mumbled and connected the call. "Hello."

"Yunfeng, my dad and grandpa are here. They want to talk to you." Jai said it outright as to not hear other stuff.

Yunfeng grimaced. "Yes, uncle. What is it?"

"Yunfeng," Jai's father's voice boomed in the speaker, "are you free right now?"

"Yes?" Yunfeng questionably answered.

"Good, I'll send a car. Please be here as soon as you can." And without any other warning, the call was cut.

Yunfeng was mad confused by this. He quickly messaged his good friend. "What is going on, buddy?"

"I have no clue. But it seems serious. You better get here."

"Any clue what they want to talk about?"

"They are not telling me anything," Jai seemed to be frustrated too. He sent a fuming little rabbit meme.

Chuckling, Yunfeng snuggled into the blanket. Suddenly, he heard a honk outside the house.

"They're here already?" Stunned, he dashed to his window. Outside stood a conspicuous black car.

Seeing this, Yunfeng's heart lurched. He seemed to have a reverse reaction to black cars, thanks to his untimely kidnapping and death. Gulping, he called Jai. "Is the car sent by your family here? Is this it?" he snapped a pic and sent it to him.

"That's it. Get in."

Yunfeng held his breath. "Are you trying to sell my organs, good buddy?" he mumbled under his breath.

But Jai, who was on call, seemed to hear that. "Oh my dear Yunfeng, you are too precious for that. My dad actually sent three bodyguards to protect you. I don't know what secret you have, but he wants to protect it very carefully. You better get in fast. The old man started pacing like a caged lion. It's not a good sign."

Yunfeng just peered at the car. "Cough, cough… buddy, I think I'm sick. Let's reschedule this meeting."

As soon as he said that, the three bodyguards from the car got down and went to the door.

"Okay, stop them. I'll come. You! You are seriously kidnapping me!" he dashed to the door in a hurry.

If his mother saw these bulky men, she would have a panic attack for sure.

Running down, he spotted his sister on the sofa typing away furiously. "Where are you going?" she gazed up with a mirthful smirk.

"Out. I'll be back… I think. Tell mom I love her," he said in a serious tone.

Hana paused with her work. "You dying or something?"

"Nope… just being legally kidnapped by Jai's family." After saying so, he dashed out of the house.

"What?" she ran out, only to see her brother getting into a sketchy, nameless car with three bulky men in suits. "Are you really being kidnapped? Shout 'I love you' and I'll call for help."

Yunfeng just shook his head. "I won't confess my love to you even if I was being killed." He shouted.

Hana tsked. "Bastard. Three brothers, take good care of him. Beat him if you want." She giggled and walked into the house.

Hearing this, Yunfeng dully sighed. "My sister really seems to hate me," he mumbled to one of the guys.

The man just nodded and started the car.

The car drove through the busy roads by his household and soon entered a forest-like roadway. If he didn't know the route to Jai's house, he might have thought he really was being kidnapped by these men.

All throughout the ride, the three kept mum and sat there like statues.

Yunfeng subtly gazed at their arms and their bulging thighs. They looked like tigers ready to pounce and take action. 'They must be military-trained men…' he thought, gazing at the calloused fingers of the man beside him.

For Jai's father to send such men to protect him, it must have been a big issue.

He could guess it slightly.

Last time, he had brought his food stockpile with the help of Jai's father. Even the house he had purchased was thanks to him. It was likely that he had some doubts as to why he stockpiled so much food.

"But why now? I bought them so many days ago…"

A nagging suspicion fell in his mind. He quickly did an internet search.

The answer came to him.

The world was going through a geopolitical storm. Countries were preparing weapons.

Yunfeng's expression hardened. 'Fuck! The end of the world is here!!!'
