CHAPTER 1026: CHAPTER 1026

Seeing that the person was unwilling to say more, Xu Zhuang directly offered a price, "Tell me my daughter’s location and I’ll give you a million."

Seeing that the person still didn’t speak, Xu Zhuang raised the stakes again.

"Two million, take me to see my daughter immediately, and stay by my side to protect my safety."

"Three million, no more. I advise you not to push your luck."

"Five million, if you don’t agree, then get lost."

The mercenary was startled and quickly agreed.

He had wanted to agree at a million; he was just shocked by the price, not expecting that a moment’s hesitation would earn him five million.

He was just a small player in the group, usually earning a fixed salary of around ten thousand yuan each month.

During missions like these, there would be considerable bonuses, around one hundred thousand yuan.

This price was already considered quite good in the mercenary market, and the Xu Family was indeed generous.

Unexpectedly, one day, a small player like him would have such unbelievable luck.

"Don’t worry, Boss Xu. I know where your daughter is, but you have to pay first. After all, you know we’re all listening to your brother now."

Xu Zhuang didn’t hesitate and immediately issued a five-million check, tossing it over.

The guy eagerly picked it up, "Boss Xu is truly generous. Follow me, your daughter is this way."

The guy was indeed trustworthy, leading Xu Zhuang through twists and turns to a basement.

There were still many people guarding here earlier; Zhang Yang didn’t even get inside the basement’s entrance, having to retreat to deal with Second Brother Xu.

But now, due to Second Brother Xu’s summons, several people here also went to deal with Zhang Yang.

Otherwise, even with the guy leading the way, Xu Zhuang might not have been able to get in.

At this time, only about seven or eight people were left watching Xu Mengyan in the basement.

"Xiao Li, why are you back? Weren’t you clamoring to grab that billion yuan?"

These mercenaries were all after money, so they knew well that Zhang Yang was not an easy opponent, and rushing over could likely cost them their lives, but they didn’t care.

Many held the thought that if they went, maybe they could fish in troubled waters.

As long as they got that billion, they’d live a carefree life, so it was worth the risk.

Xiao Li smirked slyly, "I’m not dreaming of a billion anymore. Don’t say I’m not generous, I’ve brought a big moneybag for you. Serve this boss well, and you’ll be rewarded."

If Xu Zhuang wanted to get close to Xu Mengyan, he couldn’t avoid these people, so Xiao Li simply clarified Xu Zhuang’s identity.

Hearing it was Xu Zhuang, several of them froze; it was Xu Zhuang in a suit stepping forward without fuss, handing each a check.

However, these were just fifty thousand yuan checks, and Xiao Li knew this well, as long as he took the biggest share, he didn’t care how much others got. Of course, he wouldn’t act like a big shot at this moment.

Having money eases things. The most crucial point is that Xu Zhuang is actually Second Brother Xu’s elder brother, so there’s not much to say. As long as Xu Zhuang doesn’t take her away, he can see his daughter however he wants.

"Are you alright, daughter?" Xu Zhuang asked with concern, removing the tape from Xu Mengyan’s mouth.

"Dad, you have to leave here, Xu Second Brother has gone crazy, he won’t let anyone go against him."

Xu Mengyan had already seen through Second Brother Xu, but she was worried her father was still muddled, clinging to that nonexistent familial bond.

Xu Zhuang forced a smile, "Dad knows we need to go, but I’ll take you with me."

"We’ll leave right now."

Xu Zhuang said and began to untie the ropes binding Xu Mengyan, but the mercenaries wouldn’t have it.

"Boss Xu, that’s a different price."

Xu Zhuang’s expression changed, but he still said, "It’s negotiable, how much do you want? Let me leave with my daughter, and everything else can be discussed."

He knew these mercenaries were not loyal to anything but money.

"Second Brother Xu said if we let your daughter go, he’d kill us. What do you think our lives are worth?"

Upon hearing this, Xu Zhuang sneered, "Your lives mean nothing to me, save the nonsense. I’ll give each of you another two million."

"It’s either yes or no, whatever. If my brother solves Zhang Yang, he won’t do anything to my daughter; he might even apologize to me. Don’t you know, if it weren’t for my daughter’s pregnancy, I wouldn’t be in a hurry to leave, so now you have this chance to get money, just be happy."

Xu Zhuang truly knew how to grasp people’s mindsets.

But at this moment, a discordant voice intervened.

"Uncle really has the way with words, so generous to throw away millions and tens of millions?"

"It sure seems wasteful, since Uncle says he’s not afraid, then stay here."

Upon hearing this, both Xu Zhuang and Xu Mengyan were surprised, turning to see Xu Qiangsen being pushed out in a wheelchair.

This guy was beaten up by Zhang Yang that night, and yet he still dared to come out.

Even Xu Zhuang, seeing Xu Qiangsen in his miserable state, would feel greatly touched.

But the sight of Xu Qiangsen’s twisted expression and gaze was infuriating.

"I’m your uncle, how dare you talk to me like that?"

Xu Qiangsen sneered, "You’re my uncle, yet you help outsiders?"

"And your daughter, no wonder she always defended Zhang Yang, turns out she’s so debased, she even wants to have his child."

"Shut your mouth, my daughter’s affairs aren’t for you to judge." Xu Zhuang didn’t want too many people to know about Xu Mengyan being pregnant.

But Xu Qiangsen didn’t care what Xu Zhuang thought, still saying sinisterly, "Uncle, do you know how excited I was when I found out whose child my dear sister carries?"

"Zhang Yang crippled me, turned me into a useless person, so I’ll take his child out and tear off its limbs, doesn’t that sound fair?"

Xu Zhuang and Xu Mengyan were shocked by Xu Qiangsen’s perverse remarks.

"You beast, do you even know what you’re saying? Say nonsense again and see if I won’t bust your mouth." Xu Zhuang angrily scolded.

"Haha, come on then, let’s see if you break my mouth first or I open up my sister’s belly."

Speaking, Xu Qiangsen waved his hand, and dozens of figures quickly charged forward.
