Apocalypse Foodie System: Watch Her Cook!-Chapter 143 - 138: Changing Faces

However, Pang Zhi. When Tang Yiyi received the text message from his bodyguard, he was causing a fuss wanting to leave the city, but the two bodyguards, following the orders of his big brother Pang Xiao, didn’t want him to go out at all, fearing he might be in danger.

It wasn’t that he suddenly wanted to leave the city himself, but He Lin suddenly came crying to him, saying tearfully that her brother was in trouble outside the city, and she couldn’t think of any way out, so she sought his help, hoping to take him along to find her brother outside the city.

Although Pang Zhi had some suspicions towards He Lin due to the last incident, he still had no evidence, and he liked He Lin in his heart, instinctively unwilling to think badly of her. He felt that this matter was of grave importance, so impulsively agreed to help.

But his two bodyguards wouldn’t let him take the risk, coldly telling He Lin to find her own solutions, displaying a disdainful attitude, like "Don’t bother our young master."

Pang Zhi felt their attitude was excessive, wanting to intervene, but He Lin suddenly ran off crying, worrying he might get into trouble, he instinctively chased after her. As he turned a corner, he saw He Lin being grabbed by a person in black clothes, and even he himself was threatened with a gun pointed at his back.

By the time his two bodyguards caught up, it was too late. The kidnappers threatened them with Pang Zhi’s life, leaving his bodyguards no choice but to obediently get into a nearby black war vehicle. Once inside, their actions were restricted, making it impossible to send out messages from personal terminals, so none of the three knew the signal jammer was in the car.

As the vehicle drove away from Safe City, whether it was Pang Zhi or the two bodyguards, they all panicked, but with the gun pointed at Pang Zhi’s head and the bodyguards tied up, there was nothing they could do no matter how anxious they felt inside.

He Lin sat on the side. Initially, she claimed to be innocent, but once exposed, she didn’t bother to hide anymore, openly changing her face before Pang Zhi, looking at him with full disgust. Only then did Pang Zhi realize that He Lin, whom he secretly liked, had always found him repulsive!

He didn’t know the bodyguards had informed Tang Yiyi of the situation, and as they got farther from Safe City, he felt increasingly hopeless and exceptionally aggrieved.

His birthday was just a month away. Yesterday, his brother had promised to come personally to celebrate it, but now, he no longer expected that. He would never see the adorable Little Tang Yuan again. The more he thought about it, the more agitated he became, unable to resist asking the person pointing the gun at him: "Since I’ll soon be dead, can you tell me who sent you?"

The person didn’t speak but hesitated in expression. Seeing a chance, Pang Zhi quickly added: "I’m almost dead anyway, can’t you let me die understanding?"

The person opened his mouth, about to say something, but He Lin suddenly shouted sternly: "Don’t tell him!"

Pang Zhi stared at her in astonishment, seeing He Lin’s cold demeanor completely different from her usual gentle self. Her expression was cold, her gaze was cold, her disgust was like looking at a sewer bug: "Pang Zhi, you’ll die anyway. What’s the use of knowing all this? Look at you, fat and ugly, what’s the point of living? Wouldn’t it be better to just die?"

Pang Zhi furrowed his brow tightly, incredulous at He Lin, unable to believe such heartless and shameless words came from her mouth! Once, He Lin seemed like a pure white lotus to him, representing everything beautiful, but now, he suddenly found this woman disgusting!

Not just him, even his two bodyguards looked at He Lin with disdain.

Their looks clearly irritated He Lin, who glared at Pang Zhi, angrily asking: "What kind of look is that you’re giving?"

Pang Zhi knew that provoking He Lin now was unwise, so he forced down his disgust and discontent, turning his head not to look at her, fearing he might lose control if he continued staring.

But He Lin couldn’t tolerate such an attitude from Pang Zhi. She was very beautiful, always surrounded by boys who would do anything for her. She never liked Pang Zhi, feeling that someone like him was unworthy of liking her, even considering his extra glance at her a desecration.

But now Pang Zhi suddenly refused to look at her, and she felt a rage she couldn’t suppress! What right did Pang Zhi have to disdain her?

She squinted her eyes, about to speak, but suddenly the vehicle stopped. Surprised, He Lin instinctively asked, "Why did we stop? Are we there?"

No one answered her. The driver suddenly ordered the other three in the car: "Take them out and finish them cleanly!"

He Lin, hearing this, immediately smiled triumphantly at Pang Zhi: "It seems this is where you’ll meet your end." After saying this, seeing Pang Zhi and the bodyguards glaring at her, she couldn’t help but laugh even more triumphantly.

Then, she abruptly stopped laughing, revealing her usual gentle smile towards Pang Zhi. Seeing Pang Zhi suddenly dazed, she pitifully said: "Pang Zhi, I really didn’t mean to harm you, I had my difficulties, don’t hate me, okay?"

Only then did Pang Zhi snap out of his daze, realizing he was a complete fool, always manipulated by this woman!

He Lin became even more smug, and just as Pang Zhi was forced out of the vehicle, she suddenly approached him, looking into his eyes, lowering her voice: "Pang Zhi, two months ago I had deliberately made Xiao Yu pressure you to leave the city, but he’s smarter than you and just circled the gate before going back, unlike you, who foolishly ran so far and almost died outside, too stupid."

Fuminating, Pang Zhi glared fiercely at He Lin, and suddenly took advantage of the kidnapper’s momentary inattention, wrapping an arm around He Lin’s neck, trapping her in his arms.

Though He Lin was cruel-hearted and shameless enough, her martial arts were unremarkable. Frightened, she shrieked, unsure of how to resist, clumsily using her elbow to jab into Pang Zhi’s chest.

Grunting in pain, Pang Zhi endured it, knowing he had no way out, without He Lin as a hostage, he might lose his life in an instant, so even as her elbow caused discomfort in his chest, he continued gripping her neck tightly, vigilantly eyeing the others.

Panicking, He Lin struggled for a while, but realizing it was futile, she started playing the emotional card, pitifully saying: "Pang Zhi, you’re squeezing me too hard, I can’t breathe, let me go or I’ll die."

But Pang Zhi remained unmoved, ignoring He Lin, addressing the others: "If you don’t want her dead, let my bodyguards go!" (To be continued.
