"I've agreed to your terms," Jiang Yuanyuan said directly.

"Not calling the police?" The other party was visibly surprised. With so much money at stake, not calling the police seemed strange. It appeared that the world of the wealthy was beyond their understanding.

After the call ended, Luo Chao felt extremely curious about the situation. These people appeared so innocent, so why would they do such things?

It was indeed puzzling. Why would it be like this? Luo Chao's lips curled as he showed interest.

"Are you interested?" Jiang Yuanyuan was taken aback by Luo Chao's interest in a group of robbers. He certainly was a peculiar person.

"I am indeed interested. I think that without some special reason, these people wouldn't have kidnapped Mao Zhonghua."

Jiang Yuanyuan nodded, agreeing with his assessment.

"Go ahead, we don't need your help here. If you're interested, have a look," Jiang Yuanyuan's tone softened slightly, but she still wasn't keen on getting too close to Luo Chao.

Now that Luo Chao was going to investigate the matter, it was just right.

In a certain house in Zhou Town Returning Home, a woman was cautiously taking care of Mao Zhonghua.

"Is everything okay with your health? Are you feeling unwell anywhere? Here's today's meal, what do you think?" the woman asked cautiously, afraid she might have missed something.

"It's fine. Everything is good," Mao Zhonghua said with satisfaction. "Have you heard any news from there? It's my fault; if I had brought everything with me, this wouldn't have happened."

The woman shook her head, quite content with the situation. Mao Zhonghua helping her like this was already remarkable.

"What exactly is your relationship with Ms. Jiang? Why would she pay for you?" Although the woman was naive, she knew such generosity wouldn't come if the relationship was ordinary.

Mao Zhonghua nodded, expressing satisfaction with the meal. The effort to make such food was already noteworthy.

The woman nodded as well, feeling great relief. All these troubles were the village chief's fault. If not for him, there wouldn't be so many issues.

Having to do such things was utterly detestable, lacking any sense of justice, almost like a demon.

"Your friends are impressive. Do you think they can handle the village chief?" The woman asked sorrowfully.

Mao Zhonghua looked curiously at the woman, uncertain about subduing the village chief. Jiang Yuanyuan was simply a defenseless woman.

She would likely not be a match for the village chief.

"I don't know. They surely can't beat the village chief," Mao Zhonghua pondered for a moment and said. Furthermore, how could a woman possibly defeat a man?

It was practically impossible.

Outside, a commotion had already arisen. With direct national support and an enormous, inexplicable cash infusion, Jiang Group had risen dramatically.

The stock prices surged wave after wave, leaving observers on edge.

"It's merely a bubble. Furthermore, if Jiang Weidong is involved, he's suspected of using the company's public funds—five trillion! How could the recovery happen that quickly? Absolutely impossible! The prices will surely plummet in a few days."

The man confidently asserted, leaving others stunned. Although everyone knew Jiang Weidong had encountered issues, none had expected this kind of situation.

Still, what could they do about it? Most people quickly liquidated their stocks.

"It's suspended! Look, Jiang Group's stock has been suspended. Clearly, someone is manipulating things behind the scenes," many were immediately disappointed, realizing their money was likely lost again.

Without a doubt, it went down the drain, without the slightest hesitation, leaving no hope.

"It's over, it's over!" echoed terrified voices in the stock exchange hall. One gaze stood out amidst the crowd.

"Damn the Jiang Family, it's been down for a month and then rose again. Isn't it just after my money? Even if it costs my life, I will..."

The man insisted once more, though it only made others look down on him further.

All talk, without action. What use was such a person? Even with ten times the courage, they wouldn't dare to do something like this.

While discussions continued, Jiang Weidong and his daughter finally met.

"Father, how have you been these days?" Jiang Weidong nodded; he was doing fairly well, and these people would absolutely not make his life difficult.

"Very well, I've seen your performance inside. Quite surprising, where did you get so much money?"

With this money, things were revived once again. It was precisely with this money that Jiang Group even took a step further.

"Ms. Jiang, hello. We are from a special department. Here are your company's documents; please take a look." The man said with a smile.

Jiang Yuanyuan glanced quickly; everything would benefit her company. But with benefits came conditions, and each one required her stance.

"Rest assured, Jiang Group will always belong to the country. Anytime the country needs, Jiang Group is ready to give everything."

The man was quite satisfied, as Jiang Group being on their side was all that mattered. The rest wasn't important—a mere Jiang Group, there wasn't anything significant in front of their department.

"President Jiang, the money has been given to them. Please rest assured. Should we take any action now?" Jiang Yuanyuan carefully listened to these people's report.

Sure enough, they were ordinary people. The ransom for the kidnapping may not even be ransom.

"No need, just stand by. I'll give you orders when the time comes. Consider it a vacation," Jiang Yuanyuan said confidently.

Moreover, with Luo Chao's help, Mao Zhonghua should be fine. Furthermore, if even Luo Chao couldn't handle it, these people going would be of no use.

"Is this really okay? We're resting, but what about Ms. Mao Zhonghua? She might be in danger." The man clearly meant that these people lacked combat skills and awareness.
