Early in the morning, within the Bai Family courtyard, in the small garden exclusively belonging to Bai Huanyu.
Bai Huanyu sat in the master's chair, looking at the gray sky above. For the first ti in many years, he felt a sense of hopelessness.
As parents, they often consider their children as hopes, especially at his age.
But the scenes from last night left him feeling sowhat disheartened.
He had already confined Bai Tieniu and others, monitoring them closely around the clock, and their personal communication devices were confiscated.
However, this thod is only a temporary solution, not a fundantal one.
"What should I do next?"
Bai Huanyu's mood, like the heavy clouds in the sky, seed bewildered and directionless.
Out of habit, he started calculating.
After a while, he frowned deeply and said: "External assistance?
Where is this supposed external help coming from?"
Just as he finished speaking, a security guard walked in from outside the courtyard, bowed, and said: "Master, Xiao Feng is here."
"Oh?" Bai Huanyu's eyes flickered a few tis, then he said: "Bring him in."
Soon, Xiao Feng entered the familiar small courtyard, and upon seeing Bai Huanyu, he smiled and said: "How is Mr. Bai doing recently?"
"Why do I feel that Mr. Xiao's smile carries a sense of schadenfreude?" Bai Huanyu said with a forced smile.
Xiao Feng replied displeased: "Where is that coming from?"
"Since you're here, why not speak openly about the purpose of your visit."
"Naturally, it's to help you solve your problems."
Bai Huanyu laughed dryly twice: "How do you know what my worries are and where the difficulty lies?"
"To be honest, recently many people from the Du family have been clamoring for divorce. I suspect it's the Devil's Concentration Camp stirring things secretly. I wonder if the Bai Family is experiencing sothing similar?"
"Is the Bai Family like this too?" Bai Huanyu blurted out, imdiately realizing his words had indirectly answered the other's question.
But this is inevitable.
Staying up all night, a muddled mind was only normal.
"Bring a pot of tea." Bai Huanyu shouted towards the door outside.
Soone imdiately responded from outside the small courtyard.
Xiao Feng smiled: "It seems the Bai Family is also the sa. So let's be frank, do you need my help?"
"Why don't you first tell how you plan to help." Bai Huanyu said quietly.
Xiao Feng's eyes shifted as he said: "Hehe, if I tell you the thod, you might disagree outwardly, but secretly you'd do as I say.
This way, you wouldn't owe a favor and you'd solve your problem, Mr. Bai's calculations are indeed clever."
"So by this, you're saying it's not free to ask for your help?"
"Nowadays, free things are the most expensive. If I say I don't want any benefit and will solve the problem for you, I dare say, would you believe ?"
Bai Huanyu slowly nodded, solemnly saying: "That's the truth, so tell what benefit you want."
"It's not good to speak too plainly. Everyone knows the Bai Family is large and prosperous, and Mr. Bai is a renowned collector, the collections are as valuable as a museum, just take any piece and it's worth a fortune..."
"Stop!" Bai Huanyu waved his hand to interrupt: "I know my own family's assets, just say what you want."
"Straightforward!" Xiao Feng bead and extended a hand: "Fifty million!
Be it cash or antiques, as long as it ets the amount.
Once the money is in place, I'll solve this trouble for you."
Bai Huanyu narrowed his eyes: "Have you already solved the Du family's trouble?"
"It's on the way to being solved. Whether it succeeds or not, the results will soon be clear." Xiao Feng asked: "Can you accept my terms?"
"Fifty million is no problem, but if I give the money and the trouble remains unresolved, then what?"
"In business, I've always been honest, treating others with sincerity." Xiao Feng said confidently: "If you don't believe , then solve the trouble first and pay later."
Bai Huanyu was taken aback: "You trust that much?"
"Mr. Bai's reputation is well-regarded in Jiangcheng!
However, since you put it that way.
Just sign an agreent, give a one or two million deposit, I certainly have no objections."
"..." Bai Huanyu.
You're sure you have no objections, I have plenty."
"Signing the agreent is fine, but the deposit, I'll only give five hundred thousand." After careful consideration, Bai Huanyu spoke.
"No problem!" Xiao Feng agreed readily, then took out a stack of A4 paper from his pocket. Judging by the thickness, it seed around three or four... ten pages.
Bai Huanyu's expression froze, staring in disbelief: "Is this the agreent you drafted?"
"Please review." Xiao Feng handed over the A4 paper.
Feeling its thickness, Bai Huanyu almost felt like dying.
He's fought his way through the business world, but an agreent this thick, never has he seen nor heard of.
In fact, the key points of the agreent were basically all on the first page, the dozens of pages following were templates found online, with little effort.
The tea quickly arrived, Bai Huanyu took a sip of strong tea and shook his head: "I need at least two hours to read this, Mr. Xiao surely can't afford this ti?"
"Then according to Mr. Bai's thoughts?"
Bai Huanyu pointed at the agreent and said: "Cut all the rest, just use the first page as the agreent's entire content.
If you can truly solve my trouble, I assure you the remaining forty-five million won't be short by a penny!"
Xiao Feng thought for a mont, nodded: "Then it's settled."
Soon, the agreent was signed by both parties, and the five hundred thousand deposit was made.
"I'll take my leave first. If the Du family's trouble is solved, by following the sa pattern, your trouble will naturally resolve too." Xiao Feng stood up to say goodbye.
Bai Huanyu pointed to the teacup in front of Xiao Feng: "This is my personally treasured good tea, not tasting it would be a waste."
Xiao Feng smiled, drank the tea in his cup, praised it twice as good tea, then gracefully left.
Bai Huanyu once again lifted his teacup, sipped and said: "If only my son could be like this, what more could I ask!"
The tone was filled with sorrow and lant.
Honestly speaking, having just t briefly, Xiao Feng's impression in Bai Huanyu's mind was refreshed once more.
Bai Huanyu isn't foolish, he understands the reason Xiao Feng is willing to help is because he doesn't want the Devil's Concentration Camp to leverage the Bai Family against him.
Judging from the other's stance, the other ca with utter confidence that he would agree.
Moreover, throughout the conversation, Xiao Feng neither ntioned the future but focused solely on the present, addressing matters directly.
This made Bai Huanyu appreciate him, the other's attitude not seeking peace through this matter deserves praise.
Thinking it over further, this matter for Xiao Feng could be considered a win-win.
First: Solving the Bai Family's trouble also equates to solving his own trouble.
Second: He earns fifty million.
"People with people, truly incomparable..." Bai Huanyu closed his eyes looking up at the sky, thought of his three children, and felt a headache again.
Then, he thought of the "external assistance" he had just divined.
Bai Huanyu slightly frowned, could it be that Xiao Feng is the benefactor indicated by the divination?
Well, whatever it is, as long as the trouble can be resolved, that's all that matters.
