Xiaofan was anxiously waiting at ho for the call, but never heard from Chen Baicheng again. She had to dial back.
"Hello. Uncle Chen..."
"Oh, Xiaofan, it's Gui. Hmm, nothing, nothing, i'Er just went out to have fun with so friends. Brother Cheng is already on it. No worries, just forgot to give you a call back. Alright, talk to you later."
After hanging up, Xiaofan breathed a sigh of relief, but a sense of unease still lingered.
It might be because it was Gui who picked up the phone that Xiaofan felt a slight unease.
anwhile, after Gui hung up on Xiaofan, he stepped out of the Chen Family courtyard. He took out his own phone and dialed another number.
"Hello, it's . I've already convinced Chen Baicheng to keep things stable for now. Yes, I know what to do." Hanging up, Gui let out a heavy sigh.
Over the years, he owed Chen Baicheng too many favors. Now, he had to betray him. It was truly insane. But why, after hanging up the phone, did this man, almost 30 years old, unknowingly shed a tear?
The next day, Luo Wei visited again.
"Old Brother Chen, tis sure do change. Yesterday you said not to let in, and today you're opening the doors wide. Thrilling, isn't it?"
"Where's i'Er?"
"i'Er? What i'Er? Oh, your precious daughter? Co on, that's your daughter, why are you asking ?"
"Let's be straightforward. What are the conditions to release my daughter?"
"Straight to the point. The first batch of goods will be delivered at ten tonight. At that ti, you're responsible for sending soone to pick it up. Since it's a market test, the first batch isn't large. My side is taking fifty million worth to test the waters, and on your side, it should be eighty million." Luo Wei said brightly.
"Is the release of the first batch of goods conditional on releasing her?" Chen Baicheng continued.
"Ah, that won't do. To prevent you, Old Brother Chen, from not selling them earnestly after receiving the goods, your dear daughter will have to stay out a few more days before she can return ho."
"Luo Wei, I've already made concessions. Otherwise, last night you'd be a dead man." Chen Baicheng shouted angrily, slamming the table and standing up.
"Oh, getting angry? Go ahead, kill . Here I am. Kill ! Hahahahaha..."
Luo Wei's arrogant laughter echoed through the Chen Family courtyard. He had the arrogance because he held Chen Baicheng's daughter's life in his hands. This was Chen Baicheng's weakness, and no matter how bold, he wouldn't dare gamble with his daughter's life. That would be too costly.
"Brother Cheng, calm down." Gui walked over at this ti, gently patting Chen Baicheng's shoulder to get him to sit down.
At this mont, Luo Wei's arrogant face remained proud, as if Chen Baicheng was no longer the roaring Tiger, but in Luo Wei's presence, had turned into a ta kitten.
"Yes, Brother Cheng, calm down. Being angry is bad for your health. Ten tonight... eighty million is small potatoes to you. Depending on your sales, within three days we'll provide you with a second batch of goods. Rest assured, as long as it sells well, the supply will keep coming. Hahahahahaha..."
"What about my daughter?"
"When you receive the second supply, maybe your precious daughter will have had enough of playing. If she doesn't want to be out anymore, naturally, she'll co back ho. Let's go... hahahahaha." Luo Wei stood up slowly with a mocking tone, preparing to leave with his guards.
"Luo Wei, if my i'Er loses even a strand of hair, I'll make you wish for death." Chen Baicheng said angrily.
"Relax, she's my money maker now. Once you're with us, there's no turning back. By then, we're on the sa side, and who would harm the daughter of a friend? Hahahaha..."
With Luo Wei's departure, Chen Baicheng sat on the sofa, holding his forehead. The situation had beco uncontrollable. What should Chen Baicheng plan next?
There wasn't much ti left. It seed unavoidable. Things were happening too quickly; Chen Baicheng was too worried about his daughter to handle it all.
"Gui..."
"Brother Cheng, I've got it handled. If anything happens, I'll take the fall."
"Damn it. Gather all the brothers' bank account numbers, then notify finance to issue severance pay. But after you help get my daughter back, you can leave. Rest assured, you'll be compensated fairly, I'll make sure of that." Chen Baicheng was prepared to risk everything.
He had to save his daughter, and not a single brother could be implicated. Even if it ant his downfall, he accepted it.
"Brother Cheng, this..."
"Gather the brothers in the courtyard first. There's no ti to gather everyone. After that, collect the account numbers, make sure not a single one is missing. They've followed for so many years, it's not right they leave empty-handed. Fortunately, I have so savings."
"I... Brother Cheng."
"Go."
Seeing Chen Baicheng still caring about his brothers at this ti made Gui's heart ache, but he had no choice. He really had no choice.
"Brothers, in a few days, a severance pay will be transferred to your accounts. I know I can't escape this..."
"Brother Cheng, we're not leaving. We'll stay with you."
Before he could finish, the brothers below spoke up, expressing their stance.
"Shut up, all of you. I might not escape, but you're all young. Even if I, Chen Baicheng, get shot one day, I can't drag my brothers with . So when i'Er is back, those who want to return can co back and work with i'Er, those who don't, I won't force it. Of course, i'Er's character is like mine, so I guarantee if you co back, i'Er won't mistreat you. I vouch for it with my honor. So..."
"Big Brother, we're not going anywhere. We'll stand with you through thick and thin."
"Right, stand with Big Brother through thick and thin."
"Shut it, keep it down, don't let others hear you. Disperse, wait for the money, and once i'Er is back, those who want to leave can leave, those who want to stay can stay. Really..."
