Meanwhile, Semeng watched Shen Tianze pacing back and forth in front of him and chuckled, "Mr. Shen, there's no need to be so anxious. Sit down, have a cup of tea, and just wait for the good news."

"Good news?!" Shen Tianze said angrily, "Do you know where we are? Have you thought about the consequences of doing this? If we fail, even I will have to go down with you!"

"Is there a time when Mr. Shen is afraid?" Semeng still smiled, "But, no matter what, there's no turning back now, is there?"

"What exactly do you want to do!" Shen Tianze suppressed his fury and shouted, "If I had known this was your way of rescuing people, I should never have trusted you from the beginning."

Semeng's smile faded, and he said coldly, "I said before, if you want to rescue Miao Youmin, a direct confrontation is unavoidable."

"Wake up." Semeng continued, "Only by muddying the waters and keeping them running around can we have a chance to save Miao Youmin."

"But what you're doing now will leave us with no way to escape." Shen Tianze said, red-faced.

Semeng stood up and said, "Not a single one of my people will be caught alive, so your worry is unnecessary. Moreover, the chaos is already set in motion; this is a golden opportunity to kill Xiao Feng amidst the confusion, killing two birds with one stone."

"How confident are you?" Shen Tianze asked eagerly, forgetting his previous concerns.

Semeng said confidently, "One hundred percent!"

After speaking, he got ready to leave.

"Wait!" Shen Tianze called out to Semeng, as if making a huge decision, "If it comes to an emergency and we can't save Miao Youmin... then eliminate him!"

Semeng turned around, showing no surprise at the suggestion.

It's simple to understand; Shen Tianze is willing to spend over a billion just to protect Miao Youmin, which only means Miao Youmin's actual value must far exceed what Shen Tianze has spent.

And Shen Tianze's concern for Miao Youmin only indicates that he has deep ties to him, and if Miao Youmin is captured, Shen Tianze's own situation would be unimaginably dire.

"Okay!" Semeng nodded in agreement, then suddenly changed the subject, "But in our previous agreement, we were only responsible for transferring Miao Youmin, not eliminating him..."

Shen Tianze felt like grinding his teeth; he had seen greedy people, but this level of greed was a first for him.

Little did he know, if Song Keren heard this, she would definitely retort: I've seen it before, and the person next to me is far more formidable than the one in front of you...

"Alright, ten million, eliminate Miao Youmin at a critical moment." Shen Tianze said gloomily, "It's not that difficult for you guys."

"You can't say it like that; killing is certainly easy, but the question is, who are you killing?" Semeng smiled faintly.

Shen Tianze suddenly grabbed the glass in front of him but couldn't bring himself to smash it, just as Semeng had said, there's no turning back now.

After a while, Shen Tianze said hoarsely, "Name your price."

"Twenty million!" Semeng had long been prepared, and as soon as Shen Tianze spoke, he immediately quoted a price.

After Semeng left, Shen Tianze angrily threw the cup in his hand against the wall.

"Snap!"

Glass shattered all over the floor. The people outside the door heard the commotion and wanted to come in to check, but the butler stopped them, "Do you have a knack for getting scolded?"

The person whispered, "True, the young master has broken so much furniture these days that it's worth decades of my salary."

"To be more precise, it should have started after Xiao Feng appeared." The butler sighed.

"Is that Xiao Feng really that formidable?" The subordinate couldn't help asking, "I heard that the rich kids in Jiangcheng set up a ten-billion wager over him a while back. Is that true?"

The butler nodded, his face gloomy, and said, "You just got here, so you don't know much. I've been a butler with the Shen Family for nearly ten years, and before Xiao Feng showed up, the Shen Group was smooth sailing, but since his appearance, it's been one struggle after another."

The subordinate was startled, "Is it that exaggerated?"

"It's not an exaggeration; it's a fact." The butler replied gloomily and then turned to leave.

There was something he hadn't told anyone. From his perspective, the Shen Group did not have to end up like this; at least a hundred ways could have saved the situation before, but his status determined that some words he could never say.

...

Xiao Feng stood outside the police station, looking at the last trace of light in the sky, and said calmly, "It's time to settle the matter with Miao Youmin."

"I'll go find Miao Yueqian. If not, I can handle it myself!" he said and walked out of the courtyard.

"Stop!" Song Keren shouted, "I can find strong allies for you just as well."

Xiao Feng turned back and said, "If you can use outsiders, why use your own people?"

"Our own people?" Song Keren murmured.

Xiao Feng seemed puzzled, "Yeah, aren't we our own people?"

"Yes... but have you thought about how to repay the favors you owe?" Song Keren said, blushing, "If you let Miao Yueqian help, it means you owe her a favor, and favors are the hardest to repay."

"By your logic, I don't have to repay your favors, and I can just owe them?" Xiao Feng laughed.

"In your dreams!" Song Keren said grumpily, "Who said you don't need to repay them? It's just that I don't charge interest."

The last trace of light in the sky was overtaken by darkness. Xiao Feng looked at Song Keren, always feeling that there was something off about her words, but he couldn't figure out exactly what.

Meanwhile, Song Keren slightly lowered her head, feeling uncontrollably happy that Xiao Feng considered her as one of his own, while Miao Yueqian was treated as an outsider.
