"I hope that Senior Xue will deign to condescend and support me in my rise to power."
"After this is accomplished, I am willing to dedicate half of the Yu family's inheritance to Senior Xue."
Although Xue Banbu had guessed that Yu Shaoxiong hoped to get his support, he still didn't expect that Yu Shaoxiong would offer such generous conditions as soon as he opened his mouth.
"If senior feels that the conditions I offer are not generous enough, senior can continue to offer conditions. I will never bargain."
Seeing that Xue Banbu remained silent, Yu Shaoxiong added loudly, "As long as it is the condition set by the senior, I will definitely meet it."
Xue still didn't say a word for half a step, and just smiled.
When something goes wrong, there must be a monster.
The more generous the conditions offered by Yu Shaoxiong and the lower his attitude, the more it proves that Yu Shaoxiong has something secret in his heart and has other ideas.
"It seems that you really sacrificed your money in order to get the upper hand."
Xue Banbu said with deep emotion.
Changing the subject, he asked again, "Is it worth paying such a high price?"
"value."
Seeing Yu Shaoxiong's resolute expression on the screen, Xue Banbu could not help but feel a chill in his heart and shuddered.
He is willing to support Yu Shaoxiong to rise to power, but he is worried that when the matter is accomplished, Yu Shaoxiong will stab him in the back.
Although Yu Shaoxiong is an ordinary person who does not practice martial arts, he is a practitioner with great supernatural powers.
However, people's hearts are unpredictable.
No matter how terrifying force is, it cannot defeat the hearts of the people.
Throughout the ages, countless heroes have died under the calculations of others.
The Taoist Jackdaw who was assassinated by Hong Shengye a few days ago is a lesson for others. How could he, Xue Banbu, make the same mistake as Taoist Jackdaw?
"Senior Xue... I really need your support..."
"Just take pity on me...help me..."
Even through the screen, Xue could feel Yu Shaoxiong's humble posture sinking into the dust.
"I'll give you a satisfactory answer after I finish what I'm doing."
Hearing Xue Banbu's words, Yu Shaoxiong was so excited that he burst into tears. He opened his mouth repeatedly, but could not say a word to thank Xue Banbu.
…
Lin Feng, who entered the office building of Liu Group, did not go to see Liu Mengdie, but came directly to Yu Wei.
"Has Yu Gutian contacted you?"
Lin Feng went straight to the topic as soon as he opened his mouth.
"Why do you ask?"
Yu Wei, who was sorting out documents, was also confused by Lin Feng's words.
Lin Feng took a breath and briefly told Yu Wei about Yu Gutian being kidnapped from Chong Feihu's dungeon by the mysterious man.
"I'll say it again, Yu Gutian's life and death has nothing to do with me."
"The favor I owe him has been repaid."
Yu Wei raised her eyes to look at Lin Feng, her eyes as cold as ice, so cold that Lin Feng couldn't help but shudder.
Lin Feng had never seen Yu Wei look like this.
"You were looking for me for anything else?"
Yu Wei put down the document in her hand and asked very directly.
this moment.
Lin Feng noticed an unprecedented sense of indifference and distance in Yu Wei's eyes.
"Are you...are you okay?"
Lin Feng asked with concern on his face.
"Whether something happens to me or not is none of your business."
As she spoke, Yu Wei pointed outside the office, "If you have nothing else to do, then go out and don't hinder my work."
And when Lin Feng turned around and walked out of her office, she suddenly felt a sense of loss.
This made her want to chase him out of the office.
However.
Reason does not allow her to do this.
It wasn't until a few minutes later that her turbulent mood gradually calmed down.
At this time, Lin Feng received a call from Shirley.
"I just received an anonymous email, which was a video."
"Ling'er in the video is locked in a cage."
"I will send you the video now and you can watch it yourself."
A few minutes later, Lin Feng received the video sent by Shirley.
Li Ling'er in the video is in exactly the same situation as what Shirley just said.
The video, which lasted nearly ten minutes, had no sound. Li Linger, who fell into a coma, seemed to be in a silent world.
The light around the cage was dim, making it impossible to see Li Ling'er's specific situation clearly.
"After watching the video, what do you think?"
Lin Feng received another call from Shirley.
"No idea."
Listening to Lin Feng's weak reply, Shirley jumped up from the sofa in the office like a cat whose tail was stepped on. She asked very dissatisfiedly, "I just want to know, have you lost Ling'er?"
Do you take this matter to your heart?"
Lin Feng shrugged, "Whatever you think, I don't care."
"you……"
Shirley was so angry at Lin Feng's words that she could not say any more, "I am so disappointed in you..."
This time.
Before she finished speaking, Lin Feng hung up the phone. Shirley was so angry that her cheeks bulged and she gasped for air. She wished she could find Lin Feng and ask him face to face.
Lin Feng's eyes once again fell on the video sent to him by Shirley.
He planned to find clues from the details of the video and follow the clues to track down Li Ling'er's specific location.
Therefore, he deliberately played the video slowly.
However, after watching the entire video, he found nothing.
This made him a little disappointed.
"What are you doing here?"
He Jiaren's gentle and sweet voice brought Lin Feng's thoughts back to reality.
While talking, He Jiaren glanced at the video frozen on the screen of Lin Feng's mobile phone curiously, and couldn't help complaining: "This video is pitch black, what's there to see?"
"You might as well take a good look at me."
As he spoke, He Jiaren glanced around and saw that there was no third person present in the entire passage, so she stood on tiptoes and kissed Lin Feng on the face like a dragonfly.
"I have a friend who was locked in a cage."
"However, I have tried every means and tried every method, but so far I have not been able to find out where she is."
Lin Feng expressed his true feelings without any secret, "I am very worried about her situation."
He Jiaren's starry eyes blinked, charming light flowed, and she looked at Lin Feng with a charming smile, "Is this friend of yours a boy or a girl?"
Lin Feng slowly shook his head, "It's not important."
"What's going on?"
He Jiaren pointed to the video on Lin Feng's phone screen.
Lin Feng handed the phone to He Jiaren without saying a word.
ten minutes later.
After watching the video, He Jiaren frowned slightly and looked thoughtful.
This made Lin Feng feel nervous.
Could it be that He Jiaren has discovered some clues from the video?
Lin Feng took a breath and kept reminding himself to stay calm and not to speak out at this juncture, so as not to interrupt He Jiaren's thoughts.
Time passes minute by minute.
One minute.
…
three minutes.
…
Lin Feng silently kept time in his mind.
It was not until eight minutes later that He Jiacai suddenly exhaled a sigh of relief, lowered his voice, and said solemnly: "I have seen this cage in the video..."
Before she finished speaking, her hands were grabbed by Lin Feng.
Lin Feng asked eagerly: "Where have you seen it? Tell me quickly."
He Jiaren rolled her eyes at Lin Feng and said coquettishly: "You have hurt me, why don't you let go quickly?"
Lin Feng smiled awkwardly, and quickly let go of He Jiaren's delicate hand as if he was electrocuted.
However.
He Jiaren did not reply to him.
Instead, he made a phone call:
"Sister Fang, is the cage in the back kitchen of your restaurant still there?"
Although Lin Feng heard He Jiaren's words clearly, a look of confusion that could not be concealed appeared on his face for an instant.
He didn't know who the 'Sister Fang' He Jiaren mentioned was.
It is even less clear how the cage in the back kitchen of Sister Fang’s restaurant is related to the cage used to imprison Li Linger in the video.
But he knew that He Jiaren's words were certainly not groundless.
this moment.
Lin Feng and He Jiaren both held their breath and waited patiently for Sister Fang's reply.
"He was gone the morning before yesterday."
"Maybe it was picked up by the old scavenger."
Sister Fang's reply quickly reached the ears of Lin Feng and He Jiaren.
Immediately afterwards, the two heard Sister Fang's puzzled voice, "You called me just to ask about such an insignificant matter?"
He Jiaren pretended to be calm and responded: "I'm just asking casually, don't think too much about it."
"I'm busy. I'll contact you when I'm done."
As soon as he finished speaking, He Jiaren hung up the phone directly.
"I am certain that the cage in the video is the one used to keep chickens and ducks in the back kitchen of Sister Fang's restaurant."
He Jiaren pointed to the rusty cage on the screen and said with certainty, "Because this cage was made by someone from the hardware store when I was helping in Sister Fang's restaurant half a year ago."
"The steel bars used to make the cage vary in thickness and size, and the models are inconsistent. In addition, there is a red thread bolted to the cage door by myself."
"Many of the above evidences can show that the cage in the video and the cage in Sister Fang's restaurant are actually the same one."
The doubtful look on Lin Feng's face gradually faded away as He Jiaren said these words.
I thought to myself, this is really hard to find, and it takes no effort at all to get there.
The cage in the back kitchen of Sister Fang's restaurant was lost the day before yesterday.
According to Shirley, Li Ling'er also lost contact the morning before yesterday.
In other words, someone stole the cage in the back kitchen of Sister Fang's restaurant the morning before yesterday and used it to imprison Li Ling'er.
"Who is Sister Fang?"
"Where is Sister Fang's restaurant?"
Lin Feng once again held He Jiaren's slender hand, but this time, he did not dare to use force and just held it lightly. Even his tone became extremely gentle, "In a desperate situation, life is at stake."
"Take me there quickly."
He decided to first find Sister Fang's restaurant, then investigate the surveillance cameras around the restaurant to find out who stole the cage, and then follow the pictures to find Li Ling'er's traces step by step.
However.
He Jiaren did not reply to him.
Instead, he slowly hugged his long and delicate arms to his magnificent chest, and asked confidently: "You haven't told me yet, what is your relationship with the girl imprisoned in the cage?"
"You have to tell the truth, otherwise, even if you torture me to extract a confession, I will never reveal a word."
Although He Jiaren had a sweet smile on her face and her eyes were charming, Lin Feng knew that He Jiaren was definitely not joking with him...
