Invincible Divine Doctor of the Beautiful Lady-Chapter 105 - 103: Grocery Shopping Incident

After some playfulness, everyone realized it was already lunchtime, but they hadn’t started cooking yet. So, Guo Momo and the other two girls went to buy groceries while Tangyu tidied up the kitchen and watched over the house. After all, the kitchen smelled strongly of herbal medicine, which the three girls couldn’t stand.

Tangyu had no choice but to clean the kitchen himself, turning on the exhaust fan to clear out the smell. After finishing, he was just about to sit down and rest when the phone rang. It was Lin Feifei calling.

However, when Tangyu answered, it wasn’t Lin Feifei’s voice on the line but Zhao Yaya’s. "Good guy brother, come quickly, we’ve been kidnapped, we’re in the supermarket, ah—" Her words were cut off abruptly.

Upon hearing this, Tangyu immediately stood up, a chilling glint flashing in his eyes. How could this happen in broad daylight? Who dared to lay hands on Guo Momo and her friends? Tangyu didn’t hesitate and ran out quickly. There was a big supermarket nearby, which must be the one Zhao Yaya was talking about.

It took Tangyu less than five minutes to reach the supermarket, his brows slightly furrowed. Kidnapped? In the supermarket? How could that happen? And everything seemed normal here, as if nothing had happened. Tangyu thought for a moment, then a thought suddenly struck him, "Could Yaya and the others have been detained by the security here?"

This thought made Tangyu feel a surge of anger. How dare they bully three such beautiful and kind young girls? This was something Uncle could endure but Auntie could not.

Tangyu scanned his surroundings, listening to the sounds around him when his ears suddenly picked up a conversation.

"Brother Tao, everything is taken care of. I thought they would come out in the morning; I almost thought there was no show today," a voice said, trying to please.

"Hmm, lucky I was also at school, or I wouldn’t have made it. Stop talking, and take me there quickly. If you handle this matter well, I won’t let you down," another male student said with a smug laugh.

"Hehe, Brother Tao, what are you talking about? This little thing is what I should do."

Hearing this, Tangyu vaguely felt that this situation was related to Guo Momo and the girls. It was just a feeling, but he followed the sound and quickly spotted the two speakers standing in front of a Range Rover.

The man called Brother Tao looked about twenty-two or twenty-three, dressed very fashionably in what knowledgeable people would recognize as luxury international brands, with an outfit worth a six-figure sum. His attire and the noble air about him, alongside driving such a high-end imported car worth millions, clearly showed he was from a wealthy family.

His face also bore a cunning smile, exuding a touch of arrogance. The other young man was of similar age, dressed equally extravagantly, clearly not from an ordinary family. However, in front of Brother Tao, he was utterly deferential, his face full of flattery.

With a thought, Tangyu followed the two men towards the supermarket and soon discovered they were heading to the security room. The two guards at the door saw them and hurriedly saluted respectfully, opening the door for them.

Sounds came from the security room, and when Tangyu heard them, his face immediately showed anger, and a subtle gleam flashed in his eyes. It was indeed as he had thought; Guo Momo and the girls had been taken to the security room by the supermarket’s security.

Tangyu took a step forward and rushed to the security room. The two guards saw Tangyu and immediately shouted, "Are you in a hurry?" But Tangyu had no time for them and slipped directly into the security room.

The sudden appearance startled the two men who had just entered the security room, causing them to widen their eyes in surprise.

The security room was not very large, and its furnishings were quite simple. At this moment, Guo Momo and the other two girls were sitting on a somewhat worn-out sofa, with three men in security uniforms opposite them.

"Good guy brother, you finally came. These people bullied us; it’s so awful. You have to teach them a lesson," Zhao Yaya said, standing up excitedly as soon as she saw Tangyu, starting to complain to him. Guo Momo and Lin Feifei had cold, angry expressions. Seeing the girls unharmed and not mistreated, Tangyu was relieved. However, the situation was indeed infuriating. The security room in the supermarket and being brought in here naturally reflected the nature of the incident.

Brother Tao and his companion changed expressions slightly, frowning. The several security guards also looked bewildered.

"What happened?" Tangyu asked.

Zhao Yaya rushed to explain, "Tangyu brother, it was like this—we had just finished shopping and paid, and as we were leaving, an alarm went off. Then these security guards came over and stopped us, took us directly to the security room, and started asking if we had taken something without paying."

"But we didn’t miss paying for anything. Strangely enough, I found an extra item on me, an expensive one worth over ten thousand, it seems. And since Sister Momo didn’t carry her card, they wouldn’t let us go until we gave an explanation. These people are so awful. I’ve never even seen that item before, and I don’t know how it ended up in my pocket, but they insisted I took it."

Now Tangyu understood the whole situation. Had he not heard the conversation of the two men calling each other Brother Tao just now, he might have thought it was just a misunderstanding, or perhaps someone had tried to steal from the supermarket but had been too scared of being caught, so they planted the item in Zhao Yaya’s pocket.

But now that Tangyu thought about it carefully, he realized there were too many inexplicable aspects to this situation. Moreover, the conversation between the two men who called each other "Brother Tao" made Tangyu immediately understand that this was definitely a premeditated conspiracy, and that these two boys were the masterminds behind it.

As for the motive, that was too simple. It was merely a tactic of a boy trying to chase a girl, trying to play the hero to win the girl’s favor. However, such a tactic was utterly despicable. If Tangyu wasn’t mistaken, the one called "Brother Tao" must have feelings for Momo Guo.

Sure enough, the two boys came over to this side. The one called "Brother Tao" looked at Momo Guo and said, "Momo Guo, are you all okay?"

Only then did Momo Guo notice the two boys. She said, "Zhou Tao, Du Xiaowen, what are you doing here?"

Zhou Tao immediately replied, "Oh, it’s like this. I was just having lunch with Du Xiaowen today. After we finished eating, he brought me to his family’s supermarket to pick up some things. We planned to go out for a picnic this afternoon. Right after we arrived at the supermarket, we heard that there was a situation, so we came over together to check it out. We didn’t expect it to be you guys. I think there must be some misunderstanding. Xiaowen, your family’s security guards really have some nerve, doubting Miss Guo and Miss Zhao like that."

Du Xiaowen immediately said, "A misunderstanding, definitely a misunderstanding." After saying that, his face hardened and he rebuked the security guards, "Are you blind? How could these three beautiful ladies possibly do such a thing? Thank goodness you didn’t do anything inappropriate, or I would have been done for by you guys. Now apologize to the three ladies quickly and then get out of here. Each of you will have five hundred yuan deducted from this month’s bonus."

"We were just following—" one of the security guards tried to explain.

Du Xiaowen shouted angrily, "Following what? Don’t you people think before you act, having the brains of pigs? Get out of here and don’t embarrass yourselves further."

The five security guards hurriedly apologized to the three women, Momo Guo and her friends, and then quickly left the security room.

"Sorry, sorry, my people simply don’t know how to handle things. I will definitely punish them severely. I’m deeply apologetic for any offense, and I hope the three ladies will be understanding. I would like to offer a dinner as an apology to the three beautiful ladies. I wonder if the ladies would gracing us with their presence?" Du Xiaowen said sincerely.

Looking at Du Xiaowen, Momo Guo’s anger had also lessened significantly. Although the security guards were somewhat hateful, thinking about it, they seemed to have been just following protocol. Moreover, they only brought the three of them to the security room for questioning without using any excessively violent methods.

"Let’s forget it, it was just a misunderstanding, and explaining it clearly is fine. We don’t need a banquet; we appreciate the thought," Momo Guo said, not wanting to dwell on the matter anymore as it would only make her feel worse. After all, such matters, if aired, would sound rather unsavory.

"Hehe, thank you Miss Guo and the ladies for your generosity," Du Xiaowen sneered secretly, his lips revealing a sinister trace. Zhou Tao at his side also sneered inwardly, seeming somewhat triumphant.

Tangyu, watching the two men’s performance, felt disgusted. While it was not a big deal for a man to employ little tricks to pursue a woman, such tactics were truly despicable. This was treating a woman’s reputation as a joke. Fortunately, the incident hadn’t caused any real damage, but from Momo Guo and Lin Feifei’s displeased expressions, it was evident that the incident had impacted them. Essentially, it was akin to suspecting them of being thieves.

What kind of identities did they hold? How could they be subjected to such suspicion?

"Forget it, let’s just let it go, but Momo, isn’t this letting them off too easily? They are really despicable. I already said it wasn’t me who took it, and they still didn’t believe it, insisting on bringing us here. Doesn’t that mean they suspect us of being thieves? No, no, I’m really upset," Zhao Yaya said.

"Zhao Yaya, you have a point. Those security guards really are too unreasonable. Well, how about I ask Xiaowen to fire all those security guards as a form of punishment? Moreover, I’ll ask Xiaowen to prepare three gifts as a form of compensation to you," Zhou Tao said.

"However, fundamentally, this was just a mistake by the security guards. Although the supermarket belongs to Xiaowen’s family, he rarely manages things here. Let’s settle this amicably," Zhou Tao added.

Momo Guo looked at Zhou Tao and nodded, "Alright, let’s handle it like that. We’re not in the mood to make a scene over this."

"Hehe, thank you Miss Guo, thank you Brother Tao. Phew, it’s a good thing you insisted on coming over to check, otherwise, it would have been a terrible wrong," Du Xiaowen said.

Upon hearing this, Momo Guo looked at Zhou Tao again, thought for a moment, and then said, "Zhou Tao, thank you."

"Hehe, you’re welcome, it was just a small matter," Zhou Tao said with a pleased smile, happy to have achieved his goal.

"Alright, let’s go," Momo Guo said, not wanting to stay there any longer.

As they were leaving, Tangyu glanced at Zhou Tao and Du Xiaowen, but inside he sneered coldly, letting them enjoy their moment of triumph for now. Currently, he had no evidence, and even if he exposed this matter now, it might not have any effect and could potentially make things even uglier.
