Zhou Xuan looked somewhat helpless. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Yingying, don't take out the money. How about this, I'll use my ability to detect the serial numbers on the banknotes. First, I'll check the second banknote from the front. The year of issue is 2005, and the serial number on the other side is HK1478047..."
Fu Ying had her fingers inside her wallet, but hadn't taken the money out. She used her fingers to pull open the second bill, and the serial number on it matched what Zhou Xuan had said. The more she thought about it, the more surprised she became. Then Zhou Xuan mentioned another bill, and then four or five more bills, all with identical serial numbers.
This left Fu Ying quite astonished. There was no way Zhou Xuan would know about this money, nor could it have passed through his hands. Could it be that Zhou Xuan really has some kind of special ability?
Fu Ying stared at Zhou Xuan with a mixture of surprise and suspicion. To be honest, she had agreed to give him five minutes to come here because of the look in his eyes.
The unforgettable pain and deep longing in Zhou Xuan's eyes inexplicably made Fu Ying's heart clench. Over the years, she had never been attracted to any man, nor had she ever let any man get close. Zhou Xuan was much more ordinary than the men who pursued her, but he possessed a strange and inexplicable attraction.
Fu Ying wasn't entirely against Zhou Xuan approaching her. Although his story was unbelievable, it had deeply moved her; it was a story she liked. But a story is a story, not reality.
It's funny to think about. If a man appeared in front of you and said he came from the future and had a passionate love affair with you, but you didn't feel any familiarity with him, would you believe that this was the person you were about to marry?
Fu Ying paused for a moment, then suddenly took out two hundred yuan from her wallet and placed it on the table. She then coldly said to Zhou Xuan, "No matter what you say, I won't believe you. You're a liar. Let me tell you, don't let those annoying people continue to follow me, or I won't be polite."
After Fu Ying finished speaking, she angrily picked up her bag and left. Zhou Xuan was stunned: When did he send someone to follow her?
With a quick glance, she noticed two men in their twenties sitting about six or seven meters to her left, seemingly watching her. However, they hadn't paid any attention to her since Fu Ying left, so they didn't seem to be following her.
These two people weren't there before they arrived, Zhou Xuan was certain of that, but whether they were following Fu Ying was uncertain. Zhou Xuan never paid much attention to these things, because he himself was rarely noticed or followed, so he generally didn't pay much attention to such matters.
Fu Ying has already left the money for the coffee.
Zhou Xuan scratched his head in distress, trying to find an opportunity to talk to Fu Ying. He even managed to convince Fu Ying of the truthfulness of his words, but in the end, he still messed it up. Could it be that he really couldn't follow the historical trail?
It's really painful inside.
Zhou Xuan stood up and walked painfully toward the coffee shop entrance. However, as he passed the two people's seats, he used his ice energy to probe them. After exiting the door, Zhou Xuan suddenly realized that the two people had indeed stood up and followed him out.
By this time, Zhou Xuan truly believed that the two men were following them. After they got to the street and turned around two more streets, the two men continued to follow him at a distance that was neither too close nor too far.
Zhou Xuan then realized that these two people were following him, but not Fu Ying; they were following him.
Who would be following him? Would it be people from the amusement park or the police? But after learning Wei Xiaoyu's identity, they probably wouldn't do such a thing again, and they wouldn't be interested in revenge. They wouldn't dare to do it even if given the guts. Besides, he didn't intend to pursue the matter. The matter was clear-cut. The amusement park only spent a little over 20,000 yuan to resolve the dispute, which was already a very easy result. Logically speaking, it couldn't be them.
Could it be...? Zhou Xuan was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized.
It must be Mr. Yang's people. In this world, money can make the devil turn the millstone. Zhou Xuan is not tempted by a value of more than 2 billion, but that doesn't mean others are not tempted. If word gets out, there will be plenty of people willing to kill him and burn him to ashes. Mr. Yang can offer more than 2 billion to buy the Nine Dragon Cauldron, so he may also offer a high price to hire people to follow him, or rob him, or even kill him and steal his goods.
The Nine Dragon Cauldron on Zhou Xuan's body is useless to others, because no one has the ice energy ability like him to activate it, so they can't know its secrets. Without knowing the secrets of the Nine Dragon Cauldron, it has no value. For collectors, it is clearly not an antique.
Therefore, if these people came for the Nine Dragon Cauldron and were following him, then it could only be Mr. Yang.
At this point, Zhou Xuan had to consider whether these two people would try to steal his backpack. What should he do if they tried to use force?
Currently, his ice energy ability can only detect and heal injuries, but it cannot be converted or absorbed, so he has no ability to defend himself. If these two people want to take him, he will have to be especially careful.
Avoiding sparsely populated or secluded places, Zhou Xuan didn't look back at the two people to avoid attracting their attention. However, with the ice energy probing, he was well aware of their actions.
The supermarket entrance was just ahead. Zhou Xuan stopped, then slowly turned around and glanced over. Seven or eight meters away, the two men had also stopped, but were looking away.
Zhou Xuan pretended to go into the supermarket, but then suddenly flagged down a taxi, opened the door, and quickly called out, "Driver, please drive!"
The two people behind realized something was wrong and hurriedly chased after him. Zhou Xuan was so anxious that he just shouted "Drive!" But the taxis in front were all picking up passengers and blocking the way. The driver, of course, didn't know what Zhou Xuan was in such a hurry for. He figured that it wouldn't kill anyone if he delayed driving, so he stopped and waited.
The two men rushed forward, opened the car doors on either side, and squeezed inside. The driver turned around and said, "Excuse me, gentlemen, I have passengers in my car."
The man sitting to Zhou Xuan's left smiled and said, "Just drive, we're together." As he spoke, he nudged Zhou Xuan's waist with a sharp object, which Zhou Xuan guessed was a dagger. He immediately fell silent.
Seeing that Zhou Xuan didn't speak, the driver assumed they were together and stopped asking, waiting for the car in front to drive away.
As Zhou Xuan was pondering what to do, the left car door was suddenly pulled open. The man on the left was startled, turned his head to look out, and saw an extremely beautiful face.
At the same time, the girl with the extremely beautiful face reached out and grabbed his collar, pulling him out of the car in one go. Then she kicked him, and the man groaned and then fell silent.
Then the girl quickly reached out and pulled Zhou Xuan out of the car, and another man also rushed out and reached out to grab Zhou Xuan.
The girl kicked the man in the waist again, and with another cry of pain, the man fell to the ground.
The girl grabbed Zhou Xuan and ran forward.
Gazing at the girl's long hair fluttering in the wind and her stunningly beautiful profile, Zhou Xuan was momentarily captivated. When they stopped, and the girl looked at him with a hint of reproach in her eyes, she uttered a tender voice, "Yingying."

Chapter 376 Po Xin River
The girl who saved him was Fu Ying.
Looking at Fu Ying's beautiful face and holding her soft little hand, Zhou Xuan felt a moment of disorientation. This girl who had been so close to him was now so close to him. Could it be that coming to this time and space was just a dream?
"What are you looking at? No wonder someone snatched it from you, you look like a fool. It would be strange if they didn't try to take it," Fu Ying scolded, then flung her hand away from Zhou Xuan's.
But at that moment, four or five black sedans pulled up from behind, sandwiching Fu Ying and Zhou Xuan between them from the right and left. Then the car doors opened, and several dark gun barrels were pointed at them. One of the men whispered, "Get in, or we'll shoot."
No matter how skilled Fu Ying is, she can't outrun a bullet. And at this time, Zhou Xuan's ice energy ability hasn't yet been converted and absorbed, so the bullet is naturally just as threatening to him as an ordinary person.
Zhou Xuan's heart sank, and he naturally stepped in front of Fu Ying. However, he was surrounded by cars from all sides, and if they really wanted to open fire, there was no way he could stop them.
Without a doubt, Zhou Xuan pulled Fu Ying into a car, and then the car was sandwiched between several other cars as it drove forward. No one on the roadside saw this scene because the car body blocked the view, and the people with guns were all hidden inside the car, so they couldn't be seen by people outside.
After getting into the car, Fu Ying and Zhou Xuan remained silent. Panicking at this point was useless; these people definitely had a purpose, and resisting now was pointless. How could they possibly fight off a dozen guns with their bare hands?
However, both sides had concerns. These people didn't dare to fire their guns indiscriminately, otherwise it would attract the attention of passersby, and if the police were called, it would be troublesome, because in mainland China, organized crime and gangs don't have much of a place to survive.
As for Zhou Xuan, he dared not gamble. If the other side were determined to shoot, how could he risk Fu Ying's life against them? Besides, he still didn't know who the other side was, or what their motives were for taking them hostage. However, Zhou Xuan suspected Mr. Yang; this matter was most likely related to him and his Nine Dragon Cauldron.
