Jia Luo stepped forward and replied, "The exact ti still depends on the situation, but based on our accumulated experience with the Bai Family, it should be no more than two days."
Bai Huanyu breathed a sigh of relief and laughed, "Two days is forty-eight hours, two thousand an hour, that's ninety-six thousand. I'll simply give each of you one hundred thousand. Please!"
Before Jia Luo and Hou Shuapeng could respond, Xiao Feng answered for the two, "Old Master Bai is indeed generous, so let's happily decide on this."
Objectively speaking, the price of one hundred thousand from Bai Huanyu is quite fair.
Because two thousand per hour refers to working ti, Jia Luo and Hou Shuapeng are not robots; they can't work for two days and nights without sleeping.
Besides, even if they could go without sleep, the ones receiving treatnt like Bai Tieniu certainly wouldn't be able to endure it.
After instructing soone to lead Jia Luo and Hou Shuapeng away, Bai Huanyu gestured for Xiao Feng to sit down, and the two began chatting over tea.
Of course, they talked about trivial matters, and the atmosphere was quite cordial.
However, this cordiality didn't last long before a call ca to Xiao Feng's phone.
The caller was Hua Ling, and Xiao Feng greeted Bai Huanyu before walking out of the courtyard to answer the call.
"Gu Wanrong wants to see you." Hua Ling said directly, with no small talk.
"See ?"
"To be precise, she wants to see the person who injured her and captured her."
Xiao Feng thought for a mont and replied, "She doesn't know what I really look like. I've already told you what happened that day. Just find soone to bluff her with a few words, won't it work?"
"I tried." Hua Ling said helplessly, "But after two attempts, it was busted both tis."
"Haven't you considered she's trying to trick you?"
"Hey, don't worry about whether it's a trick or not. Just co over quickly. I'm ordering you as the team leader."
Xiao Feng chuckled, "You know I respond to softness, not hardness."
Hua Ling imdiately changed her tone, "Co on, please, they're all waiting impatiently."
Instantly, Xiao Feng shivered, goosebumps appearing on his arms. He quickly said, "Alright, alright, I got it."
After hanging up the phone, Xiao Feng didn't waste much ti. He bid farewell to Bai Huanyu, then left and hailed a cab straight to the Demon Suppression Action Team headquarters.
Gu Wanrong's detention location was another level down in the underground base, specifically for holding major case criminals.
Along the way, he was checked three tis before finally arriving at the door to Gu Wanrong's detention.
Then, the person in charge of guarding verified a fingerprint, and another verified an iris, before finally opening the door.
At this mont, Gu Wanrong was sitting behind a small table, handcuffed and shackled. Upon seeing Xiao Feng enter, she smiled and said, "It's really you."
"So, you already guessed?" Xiao Feng sat opposite her, looking calm.
"In Jiangcheng's domain, being able to beat to the point where I couldn't fight back, and having connections with the Du Family, you're the only one."
"So, it's no surprise that I could guess."
Xiao Feng tapped the table, "Don't waste ti, just say it. Why did you ask for ?"
"First, return the Incense Bag to ." Gu Wanrong reached out to demand.
Xiao Feng took the Incense Bag from around his neck and placed it on the table.
Gu Wanrong took the Incense Bag, sowhat surprised by Xiao Feng's straightforwardness, and asked perplexedly, "You don't want to ask anything?"
"If I ask, will you answer?"
"How do you know I won't answer if you don't ask?"
Xiao Feng nodded, "Alright, first question, that night when I picked up with the chopsticks..."
Before he could finish, Gu Wanrong's hand, locked to the table, clenched into a fist.
"See? I haven't asked yet, and you react like this." Xiao Feng shrugged, showing he expected this reaction.
Gu Wanrong gritted her teeth and, after several deep breaths, said, "Being locked up here, I'm certainly not getting out. Are you planning to keep here for life?"
"That's a question you shouldn't ask . It's not up to ."
"Yanhuang, there's no need for us to beat around the bush. Since you can lock up here, you must have a way to get out. What do you need to do, just tell directly."
"Hand over the formula for that incense you make—that's the basic requirent."
Gu Wanrong squinted her eyes, "If I really hand it over, I'm afraid I'll never get out."
"If you say that, then there's no point in continuing the discussion." Xiao Feng said indifferently, "You can choose not to hand it over and stay here."
After speaking, he stood up to leave.
"Wait!" Gu Wanrong quickly said, "Besides this condition, what else..."
"Other things don't interest much." Xiao Feng interrupted, "Rember that night, after lighting the incense, the question I asked you?"
Gu Wanrong fell silent and nodded after a while.
It wasn't very strange to Xiao Feng, after all, the incense was made by the other party, it made sense to leave a "backdoor" for herself.
After a mont of thought, he spoke, "You said you want revenge, and you're willing to exchange it with the Devil's Concentration Camp. Why don't you consider, with the sa condition, joining the Demon Suppression Action Team?"
"Would you agree?" Gu Wanrong's face was full of skepticism, her smile tinged with sarcasm.
Xiao Feng laughed and, in the sa way as her, retorted, "How do you know if we won't agree if you don't say it?"
Although speaking like this, he understood that Gu Wanrong's enemies must be quite influential, not ordinary people.
Otherwise, given the Devil's Concentration Camp's modus operandi, they would've avenged her by now.
After a long pause, Gu Wanrong shook her head, "You go."
"You're really not going to say?" Xiao Feng frowned.
Waited for so long, and this is all you want to tell ?
"I don't plan to." Gu Wanrong confird.
Xiao Feng stood up, sneering, "Fine, if you don't say it now, then never say it."
With that, he walked straight toward the door.
Such an attitude naturally contained an elent of intimidation.
Unfortunately, even until Xiao Feng stepped outside the door and heard the lock click, he didn't hear Gu Wanrong's call to stop him.
He turned his head to look at the closed cell door, his heart filled with confusion.
What kind of enemies are there, that even the Devil's Concentration Camp finds them tricky?
However, since Gu Wanrong won't speak, guessing won't help.
Because these people are rare globally, but certainly not scarce, we can't possibly investigate them all.
Once out of the underground base, Hua Ling jumped in front of Xiao Feng, hands on hips, "I heard your conversation."
"And then?" Xiao Feng didn't even lift his eyelids.
"This thing with picking up with chopsticks, you've never ntioned it to ."
"It's nothing, just sothing inconsequential."
"Could your evasiveness be any more obvious?" Hua Ling said, exasperated.
Xiao Feng retorted irritably, "You're so young, where does all this curiosity co from? Use your ti to consider serious matters, stop fixating on ."
"Who's fixating on you?" Hua Ling's cheeks flushed as she protested, "You think I'm like Mu Shihan, so lovesick fool?"
