Chapter 32: Rescuing Dudu
Page (1/3)
“Hahahaha, kidnapper?” The owner of the M Group sneered as he pulled a photograph from inside his coat and tossed it in front of Logger Vick.
“Take a look. If this little girl still has any relatives, then I am the one.”
“Relatives?”
“That’s right. The old man in the photograph was my father. Unfortunately, he just went to heaven. And this little one, Dudu, whom he adopted from the orphanage, naturally became my only remaining relative. So tell me, does this count as kidnapping? Does it?”
Logger Vick was completely bewildered. “Then why did you abduct Dudu?”
“I brought her here because I want her to retrieve what belongs to me.” As he spoke, the M Group owner walked toward Su He.
“Ever since that old man adopted Dudu, he devoted all his energy to her. He even took the property that should have belonged to me and donated it all to the orphanage.”
Suddenly, the M Group owner seized Su He by the shoulders, his emotions surging as though he had mistaken him for his own father.
“Why? Why did you donate all my property to the orphanage?”
“Why? It all belonged to me! Why?”
“Damn it, you unfilial son! You’re hurting your father!”
Having calmed down somewhat, the M Group owner realized that Su He had taken advantage of the situation. Embarrassed and furious, he snapped, “Are you looking to die?”
“Wow. A moment ago you were calling me Dad, and now you’re pretending you don’t know me. Are you Lu Bu reincarnated or something?”
Realizing that he could not win an argument with Su He, the M Group owner ignored him and continued speaking to Logger Vick.
“Only later did I realize that everything was because of Dudu. The old man left her an inheritance—apparently, the most precious thing in his entire life.”
“He actually thought he could keep it hidden from me. He even set the vault’s password so that only this little brat could open it. What a pity. Today, I’m taking back everything that belongs to me.”
As he spoke, he lifted Dudu out of Big Macaque’s arms.
Logger Vick flew into a rage. “Put Dudu down, you little midget!”
“What did you say?”
At that moment, while the M Group owner was distracted, Dudu yanked off his hairpiece, revealing a smooth, gleaming bald head.
Su He seized the opportunity to mock him. “Well, well. I never expected you to be completely bald. You shine like a light bulb!”
“Brother Vick, to be honest, his bald head is far uglier than yours.”
Logger Vick puffed out his chest proudly. “Of course! He couldn’t possibly compare with the handsome Brother Vick. Just look at me!”

“That’s enough! All of you, shut up!” the M Group owner finally shouted, unable to suppress his anger any longer.
While everyone on that side was still arguing, Briar and Bramble had already found the place and quietly slipped inside. Bramble, the fool, did not disappoint: he successfully drew the attention of an entire group of guards.
In the midst of a fierce storm of gunfire, Briar and Bramble dashed out.
“Briar, how come these guys shoot even worse than Logger Vick?”
“Stop fooling around. This is no time for jokes.”
The two bears then ran into an abandoned warehouse. When the men behind them came charging over with guns, they saw the lights flash. A glamorous blonde woman, dressed provocatively and walking elegantly with a rose between her lips, stepped out, accompanied by a burly man in a mature, sophisticated outfit. The pair then began performing an elegant dance in front of everyone.
“Bravo! What a dance!”
Once everyone’s attention had been drawn to the performance, the burly man and the blonde woman struck together—one throwing a left hook, the other unleashing a lightning-fast combination. With a smooth little flurry of moves, they knocked every last person to the ground.
Briar and Bramble clapped as they emerged. Looking through the mirror, they spotted the M Group owner in a building across the street, angrily pointing at Su He and Logger Vick.
“This is bad, Briar! They’re in danger! What do we do?”
“Enough. Calm down. Go call the police first.”
At that moment, Briar noticed a massive iron ball hanging from a construction crane beside the building.
“Bramble, get into the crane and operate it. I’ll stand on the iron ball. Then we’ll crash straight into the building and rescue them.”
“Oh, all right!”
Inside the building, the M Group owner glared furiously at the two men.
“From childhood until now, no one has ever dared insult me like this. Big Macaque, Second Dog—go teach these two a proper lesson.”
“Right away!”
Just then, everyone noticed a huge figure slowly approaching the building. Once Logger Vick got a clear look, he realized that it was Briar standing on the iron ball, preparing to smash his way inside.
“Bramble, aim a little more carefully!”
“Oh! Oh!”
Bramble hurriedly operated the machinery inside the crane. The sight of a bear driving a crane left everyone in the building utterly stunned.
Su He’s brain nearly short-circuited.
“Brother Vick, is there anything in this world that you and Briar and Bramble can’t do?”
“Well, not at the moment. Oh, right—I still don’t know how to chop trees.”

Outside, Briar finally adjusted his aim and charged into the building. Amid a shower of shattered glass, Briar and Bramble made their spectacular entrance.
“Boss, you’d better watch out. These two bears are dangerous. They aren’t even afraid of bullets!”
“Hahahaha! They’re only two bears!” The M Group owner beckoned to the two men in suits standing nearby. “Have fun.”
With that, he took Dudu and left.
Briar shook his paw at the suited men before lunging at one of them. Bramble grabbed the other and sent him flying with a powerful belly slam. Before long, they had cleared the entire area.
Briar and Bramble came over to Logger Vick and Su He and untied the ropes around Logger Vick. But when they saw the steel cables, chains, and several heavy padlocks securing Su He, they were at a loss.
“Briar, how are we supposed to deal with this? We couldn’t get these off even by the Year of the Monkey.”
“I have no idea either. Who knew those people would take such elaborate precautions to restrain Little Su?”
“Briar, Bramble, don’t worry about me. Go rescue Dudu first. The police will be here soon and they can free me.”
Briar and Bramble thought it over, then could only nod helplessly.
“All right, Su He. You’ll just have to wait here for a while.”
As the three of them—Briar, Bramble, and Logger Vick—walked away, Su He thought to himself, “The plot of Treasure-Hunting Bears isn’t particularly dangerous, so from here on, I’ll leave it to Briar, Bramble, and Logger Vick to handle.”
A moment later, a tremendous chill surged around Su He, instantly shattering the iron chains binding him.
Meanwhile, Briar, Bramble, and Logger Vick caught up with the M Group owner and the others and reached an iron bridge. Briar immediately charged forward and seized Big Macaque, trying to snatch Dudu from his arms.
“Boss, what do we do? They’re about to take the child away!”
“Heh. Why are you in such a hurry?”
The M Group owner pressed a button on the wall beside him.
On the bridge, Briar and Big Macaque suddenly felt the ground vanish beneath their feet and fell downward.
“Briar!”
Bramble and Logger Vick stared anxiously at Briar as he plummeted below.
Once the next chapter concludes Treasure-Hunting Bears, Su He will head to the Enchanted Forest to find Naya. That’s when the yandere storyline begins.
