Since it involved a shooting case, as well as a kidnapping case and three lives, handling this matter became somewhat troublesome.

For the time being, not only can the victim Jin Yongnian not leave the Red Demon Country, but Chen Feng and Qin Zhen, due to their involvement, also cannot leave.

The two took it in stride, especially Qin Zhen, who originally planned to vacation in Europe, so he simply decided to travel here.

Of course, Chen Feng accompanied him, and they were joined by Anna, the guide and translator, otherwise, two grown men traveling together in a foreign country might seem a bit odd.

Anyway, the three of them had a great time.

Aside from the local security issues and the title of the terrorist capital, the scenery in this country was quite good, full of historical and artistic charm.

Meanwhile, Jin Yongnian and the interpreter Wang stayed quietly in their hotel room for the past two days, not going anywhere.

After two days of fun, Jin Yongnian suddenly contacted Chen Feng, saying he needed to talk to him.

Chen Feng guessed it might be about the final payment of the previous transaction. Since he was already there, he'd help out if he could.

So, after returning to the hotel that day, Chen Feng went to Jin Yongnian's room.

"Little Feng, come, take a look at this."

As soon as he saw Chen Feng, Jin Yongnian pulled him over to show him his phone.

When Chen Feng looked at the phone, it turned out to be a photo, showing a piece of paper filled with a long string of random characters. Chen Feng was puzzled and looked at Jin Yongnian in confusion.

"I didn't take this photo. I accidentally found it in my album while browsing my phone today. Its timestamp was two days ago, when my phone was in the hands of those kidnappers. So this photo was very likely taken by the kidnappers. I wanted to ask you if there's any special meaning to this photo."

After Jin Yongnian's explanation, Chen Feng realized what was going on and took a serious look at the photo again. Connecting the dots to the kidnappers, a light bulb went off in his head.

Chen Feng immediately took out his phone, opened the Bitcoin app, and followed the operations based on the string in the photo. Sure enough, he successfully accessed a Bitcoin wallet and saw the 20 Bitcoins inside, presumably what he had sent to the kidnappers.

It was a pleasant surprise. Even though he wasn't too concerned about the "loss" of 20 Bitcoins, worth nearly two million, reclaiming them was certainly the best outcome.

"This is the password to a Bitcoin wallet. With this password, you can open the wallet and conduct transactions. The Bitcoins here should be the ones I gave the kidnappers. I never expected they'd store the password on your phone."

Seeing Jin Yongnian's curiosity, Chen Feng offered a brief explanation.

Although Jin Yongnian was approaching fifty, he had graduated from high school and ran a trading company for over a decade. He was open to new things and knew about Bitcoin, recognizing it as a profitable form of virtual currency.

This time, Chen Feng used this virtual currency to save him, something Jin Xinyan had already mentioned during their call.

He just hadn't expected the photo to actually be a Bitcoin wallet password.

However, seeing Chen Feng recover the Bitcoins worth quite a sum of money, he was happy, at least feeling he no longer owed Chen Feng.

"That's great. Who would've thought they'd store the password on my phone? Haha, that's quite hilarious!"

Chen Feng also thought their act was indeed somewhat foolish, nodding in agreement: "Yes, clearly their cleverness backfired, and ultimately, the Bitcoins returned to me."

However, truth be told, Wang Qingfeng's idea to store the Bitcoin password in a photo on Jin Yongnian's phone showed foresight.

At least after his death, neither Iben nor Wang Qingxi managed to find the password.

Now it became Chen Feng's gain. Or rather, it returned to Chen Feng's hands.

"How much is a Bitcoin worth now? I heard it keeps rising," Jin Yongnian asked curiously.

Jin Yongnian had heard about Bitcoin and knew its price kept climbing, but he was unfamiliar with it and had never considered investing in this virtual currency.

"About a hundred thousand each," Chen Feng replied casually.

"A hundred thousand each! So the 20 is worth two million?" Jin Yongnian was astonished.

"Approximately."

"Do you think Bitcoin will continue to rise?" Jin Yongnian began to take an interest in this virtual currency.

Chen Feng glanced at him and replied truthfully: "I think it might continue to rise, but also not for sure. It was only a few dozen dollars years ago, now it's up to a hundred thousand, though it fell several times, and many people were pessimistic. Short-term trading might not be profitable.

If you hold it long-term, I think it's okay. Long-term, it should keep rising. If you have some surplus funds, you can buy some for the long term. After a year or two, it's bound to increase, and selling then should make a tidy profit."

"Waiting one or two years? Then forget it."

Jin Yongnian felt a bit disappointed. Initially, he hoped to trade like stocks, holding short-term and selling when prices rose.

But now, with the prospect of long-term holding and his limited funds, he couldn't afford to invest in this project.
