"Hey, Luo Wei..."

"Gui, you're quite brave, daring to hang up on me. Tell me, why didn't you answer my call? Were you secretly plotting something with Chen Baicheng?"

Over here, as Chen Baicheng was giving instructions to his brothers, Gui, his most trusted brother, secretly sneaked to the back to make a call.

"Brother Cheng was nearby just now, it wasn't convenient to answer."

"Hmm, so what's the situation now? How did Chen Baicheng react? Will he obediently comply?" Luo Wei inquired again from the other end of the line.

"Brother Cheng has already begun gathering the brothers. He said those who want to leave can leave, and those who want to stay can stay. It looks like he's going all out for Miss Mei'Er, willing to do anything."

Gui lied. Actually, Chen Baicheng had no intention of collaborating with Luo Wei and his people. But he couldn't say that; the gratitude he owed Chen Baicheng was too immense. He couldn't betray his big brother at the most critical moment.

"Hahahaha, in that case, Chen Baicheng will no longer be a threat. From now on, Capital City will be mine alone."

"Alright, that's all for now. I'll call you if there's any news," Gui whispered.

"Gui, you better stay sharp. Don't forget, I still have your wife and kids. If you try anything funny, you'll regret it for the rest of your life."

"Luo Wei, you promised me you wouldn't harm a hair on their heads."

"Of course, as long as Chen Baicheng listens, I'll release Mei'Er and your wife and kids at the same time. I only want money, I don't want to kill anyone, hahahaha..."

Listening to that loathsome laughter, Gui sighed and looked up at the clear sky. His plan was to shoulder the entire matter alone; after rescuing the people, he would take full responsibility. He could tell the police that he secretly trafficked drugs without Chen Baicheng knowing. It had nothing to do with anyone else. But Brother Cheng had no such plan.

Loyalty or righteousness, it's a tough dilemma. Gui was on the brink of being driven insane. If he could, he'd gladly exchange his life for the lives of the young mistress and his wife and children. But his abilities were limited. If even his big brother couldn't handle it, how could he? If there was someone who could handle this, who would that person be?

On the other side, after Chen Baicheng had given his instructions to the brothers in the courtyard, an inconspicuous subordinate quietly left the Chen Family courtyard. Riding a motorcycle, speeding down the road. Who is this person, and what are they going to do?

Alright, with things at this stage, let's see what our Ye Xiaofan is up to.

"Li San, did you see her at all from last night until today?"

"Come on, would I lie to you? Last night I was actually trying to find you, but you had us looking for Chen Mei'Er all the time, so I stayed at the nightclub all night and didn't see anyone. If you don't believe me, ask Xiaolei."

"Yeah, Ren Ying went with us to look too. But her car's been parked here for a whole day since yesterday morning. Even if she has a lot of cars, she wouldn't just leave it here like this," Lei Xiaolei added.

"Could it be that something at Xiaofan's upset her, and she went back to have fun and decided to ignore you?" suggested Ren Ying.

Because of Ren Ying's words, all three turned their gaze to Xiaofan. The implication was clear: Xiaofan must have been worried about implicating Chen Mei'Er, so he made her angry enough to leave. Then, Chen Mei'Er went to have fun, maybe got drunk, was taken home by Chen Baicheng's people, and might be sleeping there now or maybe woke up and continued drinking?

"No way, she's not like that when she's upset." Xiaofan clearly remembered the incident between Chen Mei'Er and Ye Weiwei. If she made a scene, she would attempt suicide; how could she be so carefree? And if she were really upset, Chen Baicheng would have definitely come looking for him, but he didn't even answer his calls yesterday.

"Then what do we do? Guessing isn't solving anything," Li San said, pursing his lips.

"I need to go to the Chen Family in person," Xiaofan said, immediately standing up and grabbing his car keys as he dashed towards the door.

"Wait, Xiaofan, are you really going out now? What if someone tries to assassinate you? Hey, why are you all leaving, wait for me." Li San had no choice but to follow them out. He was actually very worried too. After all, Chen Mei'Er had been kind to him. He acted indifferent, but he also wanted to see that esteemed lady safe as soon as possible.

The four of them reached downstairs, ready to get in the car and leave. Suddenly, a motorcycle raced towards them.

"Brother Xiaofan, Brother Xiaofan."

The motorcycle screeched to a halt in front of them, and a man quickly dismounted and ran over to them.

"Brother Xiaofan..."

"Who are you?" Xiaofan frowned, looking at the man, vaguely familiar but unable to remember where they'd met.

"It's me, I'm Brother Cheng's enforcer, remember? You and Brother Cheng were having dinner, he wanted you to marry the young mistress but you refused, and Brother Cheng ordered twenty of us to block you, and you ended up breaking all our arms, but then you healed us and secretly gave me thirty thousand to share among the brothers."

"Oh, I remember now. Ah, what was your name again?" Xiaofan recalled the incident.

"Oh, my name's not important. Brother Xiaofan, Brother Cheng and the young mistress are in trouble; you have to think of a way to help."

Upon hearing this, Xiaofan and the others immediately tensed up, their eyes alertly scanning their surroundings. Seeing no one around, Xiaofan clapped a hand on the man's shoulder: "Let's go upstairs to talk."

Once back in Xiaofan's rental apartment, the enforcer recounted the events one by one to Xiaofan and the others.

"What? Mei'Er's been kidnapped?" Upon hearing this, Xiaofan immediately grew anxious.

"Yes, it's done by a guy named Luo Wei. They're using the young mistress to threaten Brother Cheng, forcing him to agree to sell drugs. Brother Cheng is already preparing to distribute severance pay. But if he does this, he really won't have any way out," the enforcer said worriedly.

"Hey, why should we believe what you're saying? And how do you know that Xiaofan would be able to help?" Li San questioned. He knew what kind of person Chen Baicheng was, and what made Xiaofan capable of solving something Chen Baicheng couldn't?

It wasn't that Li San didn't trust the man; he was just inherently cautious. Everything should have a cause and effect, right?
