CHAPTER 556: CHAPTER 518 CLEAR DIVISION OF LABOR

"Bai Long, wait a moment."

It was Du Feng who had caught up.

"The numbers have been verified, all purchased online, even the remittance accounts are..."

Bai Long glanced in the direction of the basement.

"Tell Li Wanshan, if he still can’t remember the lady’s whereabouts within ten minutes, then we’ll have no choice but to ask Young Master Zizhen to come back and lend a hand."

"Didn’t Brother Shen say that we shouldn’t involve family, forbidding us from touching Li Zizhen? Is this really okay to do?"

"Just putting on a show will do, just to scare them."

"Alright then, I’ll give it a try."

Watching the little fish swim freely among the aquatic plants in the fish tank, Bai Long couldn’t help but heave a long sigh.

The lady is probably not coming back!

In fact, he knew better than anyone that those who take jobs on the dark web are desperate outlaws. Based on video evidence, Yuan Min likely had already met with a tragic fate, but Li Wanshan didn’t dare to admit it, since once he did, it would mean he was not far from death.

Just as Bai Long was preparing to report the situation to Li Zishen, Chen Xin’s call came in.

"Any news about the lady?"

"No news, it’s just..." Bai Long hesitated, then looked again at the fish tank, "This rain keeps on pouring non-stop, the Jinyuan River is probably going to rise again."

Chen Xin still couldn’t believe that Yuan Min had been kidnapped again, just as it happened at the beginning of October.

He had always suspected that it was Wang Junchen’s doing.

The timing was just too precise, each move seemed like it had been thought through meticulously.

"Is it truly Li Wanshan’s doing?"

"Yes, no doubt about it, the evidence is conclusive."

"Old bastard, he truly deserves to die!"

"How’s the investigation on the boat going?"

"During that time slot, there were six yachts that passed rapidly, but no abnormalities were found."

"What about the big ships? Especially the cargo ships?"

"Still checking."

"Alright, then... let’s leave it at that for now."

Little did Bai Long know that just after hanging up the phone, Du Feng, clenching his fists and seething with rage, was coming over.

From the looks of it, the results were not very promising.

Bright and early at six o’clock in the morning, Huang City.

The incidents that happened at the Leng Family last night had been reported one by one to Uncle Quan by the members of Shen Shiyi.

Uncle Quan gathered the bridal party in the gym.

"Where were you all last night?"

Hearing this, the bridesmaids were all surprised, having no idea what had happened.

They hadn’t done anything last night.

Despite being busy the day before yesterday and yesterday, learning in the shortest time all the people up and down the Leng Family, and memorizing a dozen key individuals.

But since five o’clock yesterday afternoon, their tasks had already been halted.

It was Wang Meijuan who notified the six of them.

"The Leng Family is in trouble, Yuan Min is missing, Lai Jingshan is injured and in the hospital, Li Wanshan is under Bai Long’s control."

It was then that the six of them finally realized.

Oh, they meant the Leng Family’s troubles!

"Start with Wuyue."

"The miss ordered me to disguise myself as Meijuan and pass by Li Zishen once, then disguised myself as Cheng Shi, pretending to take a call in the car."

Uncle Quan smiled faintly, "Well thought out, knowing to clear out those closest to you first."

"I was sent to Chicheng."

"To draw Bai Long’s attention?"

"And to cause a little disruption on the side."

"July, tell us about yours."

"The miss first had me hack into a website, then the mobile phones of Yuan Min and Lai Jingshan, as well as those of Li Wanshan and his assistant."

"I see! What about you three?"

"I and Jiuyue were tasked with spreading rumors, initially about Li Zishen and the Meng Family, and this afternoon about Lai Jingshan and Yuan Min, we were sent to Jin City."

"And you, October?"

"I stayed at Huangcheng Hotel until five o’clock yesterday afternoon, and the task was to keep an eye on Li Zishen."

"Didn’t the lady tell you to keep it a secret?"

"No, the lady told us that no matter what she asked us to do, there was no need to hide it from you and the boss. We were instructed to answer whatever we were asked and to tell the truth."

Uncle Quan’s lips curled into a smile.

So the lady indeed wanted to use loaning people as a way to lull me and the boss.

Hmm, that’s progress, steadier than the last time.

"Uncle Quan, we are telling the truth, this is indeed how the lady arranged things."

October said this and then lowered her head.

"Oh, so you’re saying... the lady only let a few of you participate in the peripheral actions, and the core part was all executed by Cheng Shi and Wang Meijuan?"

"I don’t know, the lady didn’t say."

"Really obedient, aren’t you!"

Uncle Quan’s praise made the six people become apprehensive.

"We failed to perform our duties, please punish us, Uncle Quan." The six people spoke in unison and bowed their heads.

"Failed to perform your duties? You did nothing wrong. Since the boss has assigned you to the lady, her words will be the commands from now on. You may go."

"Yes, we will take our leave."

After listening to the report from the bridesmaid group, Uncle Quan did not know whether to praise their absolute obedience or to penalize the negligence of the other members.

The lady has got her wish this time!

To Yelanxiang, probably to celebrate.

...

Uncle Quan’s guess was correct. Tang Xiaowan was in a private room at Yelanxiang, singing and dancing jubilantly, like a wild horse that had just thrown off its bridle.

"I won! I am the best!"

It also helped that this was Leng Lingxiao’s property, so she could come whenever she wanted.

Five minutes later, the door to the private room opened.

Seeing Leng Lingxiao, Tang Xiaowan flung herself at him with all limbs, as if she hadn’t seen him in centuries.

"Happy?" Leng Lingxiao held her tightly, his eyes brimming with love.

"Of course, super happy!"

Leng Lingxiao nodded contentedly.

He had just made the excuse of dealing with business affairs, but in reality, he just wanted to give Tang Xiaowan space to vent freely. Once her emotions were provoked, any guilt would naturally disappear.

"Do you think, how will Li Zishen deal with his beloved second uncle... Li Wanshan, will he..."

"Not for now."

"Because he wants to find out Yuan Min’s whereabouts?"

"Clever."

"Psh, it’s such an obvious thing."

"How about... we go deeper?" Leng Lingxiao slowly let her go, his passionate gaze filled with indulgence, "Sounds good?"

"Deeper? What do you want to do?"

Then she saw Leng Lingxiao tilt his head slightly and kissed Tang Xiaowan’s full lips, passionately and intensely.

The air was thick with love.

"What’s the matter, feeling dizzy?"

"Maybe it was a bit too long." Tang Xiaowan’s cheeks were flush, and her heart was racing.

"Sorry, I... will be more careful next time."

"Why apologize, no need."

The two looked into each other’s eyes, unable to hide their joy.

Just when Leng Lingxiao was about to kiss her again, Tang Xiaowan suddenly furrowed her brows and unconsciously bit her lower lip, as if she had remembered something.

"Don’t worry about it, they won’t find out." Leng Lingxiao gently nudged Tang Xiaowan’s nose.

Clearly, he had seen through her concerns.

"What if Chen Xin is stubborn?"

"Impossible, he could never find out no matter how hard he tried."

"Hmph, tell me the truth, did you... I mean, did you secretly send someone..."

"Have confidence in yourself, it’s going to be okay."

Tang Xiaowan looked at him skeptically.
