Upon hearing Xiaofan's words, Liang Yanlong, who was in a bad mood in the car, immediately burst into laughter. This kid is quite a character indeed.

"You, how can you talk like that? Clearly, you have more people. What, do a few big men want to bully two weak women?" the twenty-year-old woman retorted loudly.

"Bully? No, justice lies in people's hearts; we can wait for the traffic police to come and handle it. By then, who is right or wrong will be clear." Xiaofan said calmly, then walked back to the car and said to Liang Yanlong, "Boss, you can take the car at the back and head back first. Leave these small matters to us to handle."

"Hmm, it's okay, no need to bother the traffic police. I know those two girls; no need to fuss too much over them."

While Xiaofan was discussing with Liang Yanlong, those two women whispered something to each other.

"Sisi, you are a public figure, you can't have a negative image, and you just got your driving license a week ago. This matter can't get out of hand."

"Sister Fei, didn't you hear how unpleasant that guy was just now? What kind of person is that with such poor manners?" Sisi insisted.

"I've seen the number on the car, it should belong to the head of that security company. Let's drop it, it's not worth worrying over small change. Let me handle it."

Since neither side wanted to escalate the situation, they quickly reached a settlement and left in their respective cars, each bearing the repair costs themselves.

However, the young lady, upon leaving, stared at Xiaofan angrily.

Xiaofan nonchalantly returned to the car, seemingly disliked by a beauty. But in life, with people you don't interact with, who cares if she dislikes you?

Due to his outstanding performance in this job, resolving such a big issue for the big boss, Xiaofan was promoted to a squad leader position on his third day at the company.

This squad leader position did come with some authority over subordinates. Of course, Xiaofan being new, could only manage a few other newcomers.

However, this clearly made many who had worked there for years without opportunities for advancement even more jealous. Accompanying the boss on an outing and flattering him not insignificantly led to a promotion. To succeed in this world, you must be savvy, indeed.

These were merely assumptions by those uninformed. Liu Peng, however, was a witness to the whole event. Xiaofan's promotion had nothing to do with flattery.

"Recently, Dongwu Group's shares have been drastically decreasing. It's normal for Liang Yanlong, being one of the shareholders, to experience financial strain. Xiaofan, Liang Yanlong seems to be just a businessman. We've investigated him for so long and haven't found any contact with Red Butterfly. The funds he uses are also very clear."

"Is he afraid of his wife?"

Lately, whenever Liang Yanlong went out, he would always have Xiaofan as a protector. However, the places he visited were either work discussions or leisure venues; there were no clues leading to Red Butterfly. Could this be the wrong direction again?

"Hmm? Why did you suddenly ask this? I haven't investigated his wife; what's up?"

"Look into it. Last time when he was kidnapped, he seemed to mention in the record that all the money was with his wife and he didn't have much money at his disposal."

"Okay, got it, I'll start looking into it."

"Hmm, stay safe."

No clue shall be abandoned, and there's also that Underground Black Boxing, surely a significant place. But nearly every night, Xiaofan would drop by, yet no substantial evidence was uncovered, and Li Kuo's progress was slow as well. If the desired answers aren't online, he finds it challenging to trace them.

Liang Yanlong's lack of funds made him select people from his bodyguards to fight in Underground Black Boxing, hoping to earn more money through it. This makes sense. Ah, Red Butterfly, you're keeping yourself too well hidden, aren't you?

Three days later…

"Xiaofan, I've found something..."

"What is it? Is there an issue with Liang Yanlong's wife?"

"No, it's about the other side, the black boxing side. Didn't we talk about this before? Only those who win a hundred matches from beginner to advanced can retire. For newbies, they must fight three matches a week, and after that, three matches per month are mandated. But I found out some fighters who won sixty or seventy matches suddenly had their names removed. I've checked; once these black boxing fighters enter the tournaments, they can't escape. Only by winning to the end can they leave. But now, some fighters seem to have vanished into thin air. No matter how much I search, I can't find them."

"How could this happen?"

"There's no way; their identity information has been blocked. Many use fake names, and even during competitions, they use their codes, making investigation exceedingly difficult," Li Kuo said helplessly.

"Keep investigating; follow this lead. I feel like we should be able to find the way soon," Xiaofan said with some excitement.

"Hmm, got it."

People can't just vanish into thin air. It's impossible...

"Xiaofan, how can you be sure the underground black boxing is related to Red Butterfly?"

"I'm not sure; it just feels related to Red Butterfly." In response to Li San's inquiry, Xiaofan answered truthfully.

"Ah? Explain your logic."

"Well, people don't just disappear suddenly. If information disappears, it's definitely been intentionally hidden. Suppose Red Butterfly needs to increase personnel significantly; it surely would gather many from various sources. And the underground black boxing is an excellent place to select candidates. Typically, those who enter advanced competitions have significant strength; those who won sixty or seventy matches are not few. I remember I told you, when I was in H City, I was fooled by two criminal investigation bureau personnel. Both had served in the army, and no one knew where they went after leaving the force. When they reappeared, they inexplicably entered the criminal investigation bureau. Imagine, during their disappearance, they were surely selected through some selection process by Red Butterfly."

"So you're saying, those who disappeared have been chosen by Red Butterfly?" Li San suddenly understood.

"Highly possible," Xiaofan nodded.

"Wow, this Red Butterfly really knows how to play the game."

"But there are no more fighters from Liang Yanlong's side continuing in the tournaments. If there were, we could gradually learn from them," Xiaofan also expressed his distress.

"How about we secretly capture one and interrogate them thoroughly?" Li San suddenly suggested.

"No, we absolutely can't act rashly without understanding Red Butterfly's base; if we alarm them, all our efforts would be wasted. If it doesn't work, we may need to consider participating in that so-called black boxing contest ourselves." In fact, Xiaofan had contemplated this for a long time, but it seemed that Liang Yanlong had no plans to continue sending people. Should he take the initiative to bring it up?
