Making money and then leaving is a perfectly natural thing.

Xiaofan did this to confuse the enemy, giving them the impression that he came to XG just to make money, and once he earned enough, he'd leave with the money.

Moreover, requesting a compensation of ten million without batting an eye shows how eager they are to leave.

Originally, the procedure to withdraw wasn't complicated. Just sign the papers, transfer the money to the opposite account, and once they confirm receipt, the two could regain their freedom.

However, Xiaofan had already foreseen that when Liang Yanlong approached Wang Erma, he didn't get a straightforward answer, instead, was told to come back and wait for two more days.

That is to say, Wang Erma must have reported Xiaofan's plan to leave upwards. Now, Xiaofan could only sit back, cross his legs, and leisurely wait for news from the other side.

The initiative may not be in Xiaofan's hands, but his move was indeed brilliant, turning the tables. If Red Butterfly urgently needed manpower, then his and Li San's skills would definitely be valued.

The one specifically assigned to hold them back, Wang Erma, immediately approached Uncle Zhong, who in turn promptly informed the boss of Red Butterfly about Xiaofan's intention to leave.

"Just use their weaknesses to threaten them to stay."

This was the boss of Red Butterfly's response, a common tactic they used. When someone couldn't be controlled, they would exploit their weaknesses to force compliance.

But coincidentally, Shen Zhifan and Li Yunlong's identities were crystal clear. Their new IDs had no family contacts listed. No relatives, no friends, no lovers. Finding people around them to threaten was impossible.

"Don't worry about that. Just find a way to make them stay. Do I really have to solve this minor issue myself?"

"Understood, boss." Anyway, if the boss wanted them to stay, I'd have to figure out something.

After Uncle Zhong left, the boss of Red Butterfly silently reviewed Shen Zhifan and Li Yunlong's profiles. Such people would be quite challenging to control.

Most people within Red Butterfly were there for the money, but these two managed to earn so much during preliminary matches, meaning money couldn't tempt them further.

He didn't dwell on it further, turning to the next document.

Feng Qing, the boss of Starlight Entertainment. This was his new target. Rumor outside had it that he was critically ill. Who would inherit his enormous wealth in the end? An illicit daughter? Feng Feifei? Interesting, quite interesting. If the previous records are correct, then Feng Feifei should be Li Sisi's agent, and it seems there's something ambiguous between Shen Zhifan and Shen Feifei.

"Hmm?" The boss of Red Butterfly was momentarily stunned after opening Feng Feifei's photograph.

What a beauty, her image, and temperament. It actually made the boss's heart itch.

"Hey, investigate Feng Qing's private lawyer immediately. I want to know what Feng Qing's last will entails. Use any means necessary. Also, make arrangements. I want to visit Feng Qing personally, and perhaps, propose marriage."

The issue of Xiaofan's withdrawal kept being postponed. They said to wait two days, but after those two days, no news came from Wang Erma's side. Instead, an urgent message from Li Sisi arrived.

The information was relayed by Liu Peng to Xiaofan, in line with Xiaofan's decision — after leaving Li Sisi, he must not have any contact until he brought down Red Butterfly.

Thus, Li Sisi couldn't reach Xiaofan, couldn't call, and got no response to any messages. In the end, she had to ask Liu Peng, who used to work at the security company with them, to find Xiaofan.

Although Liu Peng had left the security company, he still had many friends there. He even participated in saving Liang Yanlong before, and Liang Yanlong was generous enough that even after Liu Peng left, he didn't refuse when asked to find Xiaofan again.

"Old bro, Miss Li has something important to discuss with you. It seems something has happened with Sister Fei, and she doesn't know what to do, so she came looking for you."

"I understand."

Xiaofan is a person who values emotions, and during the time spent with Feng Feifei, the two became good friends. Now, Xiaofan is caught in a dilemma.

If he were to address anything related to Li Sisi or Feng Feifei now, it could potentially involve them in the future, but Li Sisi urgently seeking him indicates that Sister Fei is in some trouble.

After all, humans are emotional beings. For Xiaofan to pretend not to know would be impossible. With worries in the heart, it's hard to focus on the tasks ahead peacefully.

"Hey... idiot, what happened to Sister Fei."

"Hoo, finally got your call, Shen Zhifan, please come back and help Sister Fei."

"What's going on exactly?"

"I can't explain it over the phone. I'm almost at the security company, why have you returned here as a bodyguard?" Li Sisi continued.

"Who told you to find me?"

"Are you still in your old room? Liu Peng told me. He said a colleague saw you frequently going in and out with Liang Yanlong."

"Seriously, I'm not in the old dorm, I'm at Resonance Road, Silver Curve Community, Building C7, 1202."

"Ah, I think I just passed it, Liu Peng, turn around, turn around..."

The car quickly reached the luxury apartment complex Xiaofan mentioned.

"Liu Peng, please wait for me here."

"Alright, I definitely won't tag along and be a third wheel."

"Hey, you guy, why are you speaking more and more incoherently, say it again and I'll dock your pay."

"Hahaha..."

Liu Peng laughed heartily in the car. They, who worked as bodyguards, had already figured out Li Sisi's personality. While she was capricious and always talked about docking pay, at the end of the month, not a cent was docked, and she even gifted everyone items, such as coupons and free meal vouchers. Those gifts she couldn't use herself, she gave to people around her. So, getting along with her, this big star was often not arrogant and joked with them, far more comfortable than at the security company.

'Ding dong.'

The doorbell rang, and Xiaofan went to open the door.

"Wow, nice place you have. The decor, the furniture, wow wow..." Li Sisi exclaimed as soon as she came in.

"What is it that couldn't be discussed over the phone, and you had to come here in person?"

"No reason, just hadn't seen you in a while and wanted to check in."

Wanted to check in on you — such simple words were spoken out naturally. It was exactly what she thought in her heart, so that's what she said. No pretense, no avoidance. It seems that in the more than a month they were apart, Li Sisi's mentality had changed a lot.
