Hearing such a slightly awkward question, Haiwei thought about it carefully for a moment. Soon, Haiwei fell completely silent!

Indeed!

That Chestnut Snake was originally stolen from Sun Zhengzheng's laboratory...

Now, even if Sun Zhengzheng and Hu Xiaobei took it away from here, it's just returning what belongs to them...

There's no justification for me to go ask them for it now.

After being torn for a while and unable to think of a good solution, Haiwei coldly looked up at Wu Yong, who stood a short distance away...

At that moment, he absolutely hoarsely spoke up...

"So what do you think we should do now? Are we just going to suffer in silence? That way, our losses will be huge!"

"I... I know! Of course, I know!"

Thinking about that absolutely sky-high compensation, Wu Yong felt extremely anxious...

He knew Haiwei couldn't come up with that much money...

So, if there's really no way to fulfill the contract, it would be completely over.

Hearing Wu Yong say he knows, Haiwei scratched his hair and shouted furiously, "You know? You know nothing! If you knew the consequences were so severe, you wouldn't have marked such a terrifying compensation amount in the contract!"

"I... Brother Hai... I also thought it would be fail-safe at the time, that's why I wrote it like that, who knew... who knew... it would end up like this!"

Wu Yong also felt incredibly wronged at this moment...

To be honest, if he had known things would develop like this, he wouldn't have set such an exaggerated compensation amount back then!

Feeling his grievances, Haiwei was furious, "You dumb teammate, you're the most typical example of a dumb teammate!"

"Brother Hai, I... I know I was wrong! But Brother Hai, even if you scold me to death now, it really won't help, tell me what we should do now! I know Brother Hai, you definitely have a way."

"Have a damn way! I..."

Before he could finish, the phone on the table rang quickly...

"Who is it! Calling at a time like this!"

Frowning and muttering that, Haiwei picked up the phone, his tone not too good as he spoke!

"Who is it!"

Just after saying that, Haiwei heard a faint teasing voice from the receiver...

"Ah, Brother Hai, from your tone, it seems your mood isn't too good! Did I accidentally offend you!"

"It's Xintong's voice!"

After confirming that the person on the other end of the receiver was Xintong, who had previously signed the contract with him, his eye twitched, and he quickly looked up, glaring fiercely at Wu Yong.

Soon, he suppressed the urge to curse, saying: "What are you talking about! Factory Director Xin, how could you offend me! I just received a telemarketing call, so I was a bit impatient, please forgive me!"

If it was before, Haiwei would have been calm when receiving Xintong's call because he had no reason to fear him!

But now, Haiwei really couldn't be calm.

Because he truly felt guilty about it!

Thinking of this, he once again looked at Wu Yong expressionlessly.

He knew that the reason he was so passive now was all because of this guy.

If it weren't for him writing some crap about tenfold compensation for breach in the contract, he wouldn't be suffering like this...

"So that's it, I was overthinking then!"

"Yes, you were overthinking it! We're about to collaborate soon, I naturally wouldn't be impatient with you!"

"Well! Since you mentioned cooperation, let's start production now! I've got everything ready here, when are you sending over that Chestnut Snake."

A profit of several tens of millions a year made Xintong extremely tempted, so he also wanted to start production quickly...

"This..."

Hearing the urging, Haiwei's face turned extremely ugly!

Because he knew that Chestnut Snake wasn't here at all now...

"What? Is it not going too smoothly? Surely you're not planning to breach the contract, right? We've signed a contract, and if you breach it, you have to pay ten times the penalty! Five hundred million is no small amount!"

Hearing that absolutely sky-high penalty, Haiwei was about to cry!

Because he knew that forget about five hundred million, even fifty million... no, even ten million couldn't be mustered now!

"Factory Director Xin, listen to what you're saying, how could I be thinking of breaching the contract! But starting production is a matter of choosing an auspicious day, don't you think!"

"This... that does make some sense!"

Slightly relieved, Haiwei continued, "Well, I specifically checked the lunar calendar earlier, and three days from now is the best day of the year, how about we start production then?"

"Three days from now? I was planning to do it as soon as possible!"

Sensing his hesitation, Haiwei quickly said, "Yes! Three days from now! For a good omen, it's worth waiting three days, don't you... don't you think!"

"Hmm! You've got a point, so let's agree on that! But Brother Hai, let me remind you, if three days from now there's still an issue on your side, then we'll have to discuss compensation, do you understand?"

"Yes! Yes! Yes! I understand! I understand!"

"That's it!"

"Okay, I'll..."

Before he could finish, he heard the busy tone of 'dudu'. In that instant, he knew the other party had hung up.

"Brother Hai, what did the other side say?"

As Haiwei put down the phone, Wu Yong rushed over quickly, speaking anxiously.

"Why do you care so much?"

Haiwei's eye twitched slightly, and he swiftly raised his hand, giving him a harsh slap...

The slap spun Wu Yong around three times in place...

When he stopped, he shook his head a bit dazedly, realizing that his teeth were nearly knocked out.

"Brother Hai, I..."

"Shut up! Also, go prepare a car for me immediately. Even if we have to steal it today, we must get that Chestnut Snake back! Without it, we're finished, utterly finished!"

"Yes! I'll go prepare the car right away!"

Saying this, he quickly ran off, covering his face!

After Wu Yong ran off, his expression turned cold...

"Hu Xiaobei, Sun Zhengzheng, this time you set me up. Just wait, I'll make sure to get back at you soon!"

This time, he knew he had really been had!

Because of this, he truly hated the two of them to the extreme...

Five minutes later, he and Wu Yong drove straight to Xiaohe Village...

Earlier, they had done a little research on Hu Xiaobei and learned that he lived in Xiaohe Village...

So now they rushed there without any hesitation...

In the car, Wu Yong glanced at Haiwei and whispered, "Brother Hai, we... we didn't bring anyone with us. Isn't that bad? We should have brought those security guards along."

Haiwei, who had his eyes closed to rest, heard Wu Yong's words and replied impatiently, "What's the point of bringing them? They're just Hu Xiaobei's defeated foes!"

"Yes! I know they are Hu Xiaobei's defeated foes, but... but at least they could make us look more impressive!"

"No use! Besides, this time we're not going to fall out with Hu Xiaobei and Sun Zhengzheng, but to discuss business with them! They are all fools and might not know the value of that Chestnut Snake, so we can buy it from them with money at the right time!"

"They don't know its value? But Sun Zhengzheng should have tested its venom earlier!"

"I know he tested it, but even so, it doesn't help them. They don't have the connections to find a pharmaceutical company to collaborate with!"

Wu Yong's eyes lit up, and he quickly said, "Yeah! They're sitting on a gold mine and don't know how to extract it!"

Feeling Wu Yong's excitement, Haiwei squinted and said smugly, "Yes! So when the time comes, we'll just have to trick them into selling us the Chestnut Snake!"

"You're really smart, Brother Hai!"

"Stop flattering me, I don't want to hear it now!"

"Yes!"

Feeling awkward, he responded and rubbed his nose helplessly...

Wu Yong wasn't stupid; he knew the previous incident had greatly diminished his standing in Haiwei's eyes, so he had to redeem himself quickly, or it would really be bad...

"You must perform well later, otherwise my position is really on shaky ground!"

With this sense of danger, he muttered seriously...

On the Xiaohe Village side, Hu Xiaobei was sitting in the gazebo drinking tea, and he felt a commotion!

In an instant, Hu Xiaobei's lips curled into a slight smile...

Quickly, Hu Xiaobei turned his head, and at that moment, he saw Dudu and the Chestnut Snake watching him from outside the gazebo.

"You're back!"

With a faint smile, Hu Xiaobei poured himself another cup of tea delightedly...

Earlier, when Dudu left, Hu Xiaobei believed it would surely return victorious...

So now, seeing it here, he wasn't surprised at all...

As Hu Xiaobei took another satisfied sip, Dudu and its follower quickly crawled over and narrated everything that had happened...

Hu Xiaobei listened to their account, nodded lightly, and said, "I didn't expect you to be so clever! I thought you'd make a grand rescue! Well, you and it go back and rest now! I expect guests will be coming soon."

Saying this, Hu Xiaobei watched them crawl away quickly!

Smiling, Hu Xiaobei poured himself another cup of tea and was just about to take another sip when he heard footsteps. Turning his head, Hu Xiaobei said softly, "Uncle Sun, you're here, have a seat!"

After Sun Zhengzheng sat down, he pointed hesitantly at his chest and said, "Xiaobei, I don't know why, but... I've got an uneasy feeling here, as if something's about to happen!"

Hearing this hesitant admission, Hu Xiaobei said softly, "Uncle Sun, I know what's about to happen!"

Slightly stunned, Sun Zhengzheng quickly implored, "You know? Then tell me, what's going to happen!"
