"Let Brother Li handle it, it's not good. The company is in such a difficult situation, and we're still dragging it down..."
Upon hearing this, the few fell silent.
Tian Xing, standing nearby, couldn't help but speak up, "Why don't I talk to Sister Tian Mei? Ten million should still be manageable."
Some of them were with their boss when the call was made earlier. The worldly-wise Tian Xing immediately realized the unusual identities of these people, which is why he offered his help.
However, to his surprise, Yue Hai refused without a second thought, "No need. This is our own business, we don't need to trouble outsiders!"
Seeing this, Tian Xing didn't say any more.
But the group started to fret again. Were they really going to ask Brother Li for money?
The reason they went out on missions was not only to improve their own strength but, more importantly, to earn some extra money to subsidize the company.
They hadn't even earned the bounty yet, and now they had to fork out ten million. They were finding it hard to even speak...
"Why don't we ask the boss?"
Yue Hai nodded, "I'll talk to him."
With that, he walked off to the side. Sen Lang and Chen Pei Yue were a little puzzled but didn't say much.
At the same time, Tian Xing dialed Tian Mei's number to report the situation.
The big man with the beard, who had heard every word of their conversation, didn't rush them. He would give them all the time they needed. Once the time was up, there would be no more discussion!
Sen Lang and the other knew nothing about what Yue Hai and Hei Dao had discussed. All they knew was that Hei Dao had eventually agreed to seek help from Li Chong Lou.
The call was made by Yue Hai.
Meanwhile, Li Chong Lou was on his last upgrade mission.
He hadn't expected his token to be able to inquire about points. He learned from the staff that once he completed one more mission, his Silver token would be upgraded to Diamond.
Then he could take on two missions simultaneously, allowing him to keep the clue mission that Elder Tie had given him, no matter how difficult, without affecting his bounty earnings.
When he received Yue Hai's call, Li Chong Lou was on his way to his destination, still driven by Lao San.
"Ten million? Alright, I'll have Lao Zhou transfer it to you now. Also, send me the location, I'll come over."
His people being hijacked was not something he could ignore. And this ten million, although Li Chong Lou felt it was nothing compared to Sen Bao's life, it couldn't be given away for free!
Wasn't this like snatching food from a tiger's mouth?
So, after hanging up, Li Chong Lou immediately told Lao San to turn the car around and head towards Mei Cheng.
At the same time, in the back area of Mei Cheng.
When Li Chong Lou said it was okay, Yue Hai was immediately relieved. But when he heard that he was coming over, Yue Hai became a little nervous.
However, he still honestly sent the location.
Then he nodded at Sen Lang and the other.
Seeing this, Sen Lang immediately shouted at the big man, "The money will be transferred to you soon. Let my brother go first!"
The big man sneered, "Do you think I'm stupid? If you want to release him, you can. Wait until the ten million is in my account, and then wait until I reach a safe area."
The faces of the few changed instantly.
"Didn't you just say you'd release him once the money was transferred? Are you lying to me?"
The big man said calmly, "Don't get agitated. It's impossible to take action here. What if you go back on your word and attack?"
"But you don't have to worry, I'm a man of my word. He's just some trash, I don't need to dirty my hands with him."
Saying this, a cold sneer appeared on the big man's face. Sen Lang clenched his fists, his eyes burning with rage.
However, no matter how angry he was, it was useless at this moment, as Sen Bao was still in his hands.
But Yue Hai, unable to listen any longer, stepped forward, releasing his full aura, and said coldly, "How about you try a few moves with me?"
Third layer?
Sen Lang, standing beside him, was stunned. When they first met, Yue Hai was only at the peak of the first layer, just like him. How long had it been, and he had already broken through to the third layer?
For the first time, Sen Lang felt that the gap between him and Yue Hai was not in strength, but in talent.
As for Chen Pei Yue, she had sensed it the moment Yue Hai broke through, but her feeling was not as profound as Sen Lang's.
After all, compared to Yue Hai, she was still several years younger.
Facing Yue Hai's challenge, the big man remained unmoved, his cold sneer not subsiding.
"Just reached the third layer. If I really make a move, you won't last ten rounds."
"Then let's try!"
Yue Hai was clearly unconvinced, but the big man ignored him and reminded him, "Hurry up and transfer the money. Don't think about delaying and calling for reinforcements. Even if the King of Heaven himself came, I could take at least one of you down with me before I die!"
At this moment, Sen Bao, in his hands, his eyes were beginning to lose focus. The previous punch was the big man's full power. Sen Bao only had the strength of the first layer. It was a good result that he was still alive.
Sen Lang also felt anxious. If this continued, even if they could save the person, there might be irreversible injuries!
Fortunately, at this moment, Yue Hai's phone received a deposit notification.
"The money has arrived. I'll transfer it to you. Let him go!"
Yue Hai also noticed Sen Bao's dire condition, but despite his urging, the big man remained unmoved.
"Give me your account number. Transfer it immediately. I'll take the person first, and I'll release him when I'm safe."
Yue Hai roared, "Impossible! If you take him away, what if you kill him?"
"Then I'll kill him right now!"
Saying this, the big man's eyes flashed, and he was about to make a move. Sen Lang could only say, "Don't! Don't do anything rash!"
"How about this? You seal my acupoints, and you take me with you. You release my brother first, he's in a very bad condition!"
"This..."
A hint of hesitation flashed across the big man's face. He knew Sen Bao's condition well, having inflicted the injuries himself.
Seeing this, Yue Hai also threatened, "If you don't release him, you might as well kill him now! It's all death anyway, and I guarantee you won't survive today!"
The big man was silent for a moment, then finally agreed to Sen Lang's proposal.
However, before Sen Lang could approach, he first made Yue Hai personally seal Sen Lang's acupoints.
"Don't try any tricks. When I was out in the world, you were still in diapers. I can see through you at a glance!"
These words extinguished a sliver of hope in Yue Hai's heart. He walked up to Sen Lang and said, "I'm sorry."
Sen Lang nodded. If it weren't for him, Sen Bao would have taken that punch.
Moreover, even if it weren't for that, as an older brother, he had an obligation to bear it for his younger brother.
Then, under the big man's watchful eyes, Yue Hai sealed Sen Lang's acupoints.
