The sound of steady footsteps drifted slowly from not far away.

The three teenagers slowly emerged from the shadows, and as soon as they appeared, a deep, magnetic sigh could be heard: "It's a little later than I expected, but the final result is the same. I knew that the people Wang An found were useless."

Wang Ye looked in the direction of the sound and saw that his brother was only unconscious and had not suffered any accidents. He breathed a slight sigh of relief and said to the kidnapper, "Buddy, do you want money or your life? Come at me. Using this kind of method to deal with an ordinary person is too despicable!"

"Despicable? You're just too upright... Who here isn't despicable except for you, young master of the Wang family?" the kidnapper said with a hint of sarcasm.

To his surprise, no one refuted his words; it was as if they admitted their own despicable behavior. After a moment of silence, they said, "Truly shameless..."

Hearing the weak voice, Xia Linyuan realized that the other party was not a superhuman. A flame ignited in his eyes, and he saw the person's appearance through the darkness. A handsome young man with a high nose came into view.

Although he looked a bit chubby and had a pale face, Xia Linyuan could still tell at a glance that this was Wang Tao, an outstanding young man from WG Group.

He was the one who got abandoned...

Those who staged a self-inflicted injury to protect the Wang family's assets met such an end...

"Manager Wang, now that we've met, please state your conditions for releasing the hostage." Xia Linyuan smiled slightly, subtly reminding Wang Ye and Zhuge Qing that the other party was not an alien, and steered the conversation toward the hostage.

Wang Tao chuckled: "You're sensible, but I need to emphasize one point before we negotiate. I've never killed anyone, but I absolutely don't mind killing someone."

I only have one card.

"And you only have two choices!"

Wang Tao pressed the gun against the eldest son of the Wang family's temple: "First, hand over the Feng Hou Qi Men technique and release Wang Bing. Then we can go our separate ways peacefully."

"Secondly, even if I die with this person, my net worth is only a few hundred million. Being able to drag a young master worth tens of billions down with me to the afterlife is no loss at all..."

Chapter 155 Luring the wolf into the house

"Feng Hou Qi Men..."

Whether it was Zhang Chulan climbing the roof or Zhuge Qing standing in the open, they both grasped the same key point. When they heard those four words, they felt as if a heavy weight had been lifted from their hearts, as if the safety of the hostages had been assured.

Could Feng Hou Qi Men not subdue a robber?

However, Xia Linyuan was far from relaxed. Once he learned that the other party was Wang Tao, his mind started to race.

Wang Tao is the kind of person who will do anything for money. He's even capable of hiring someone to stab his own wife.

If we can leverage him to bring Feng Zhenghao into the Wang family group...

With a smile playing on his lips, he slowly stepped forward: "Mr. Wang, threats are not a symbol of friendly negotiation."

"Mutual benefit and win-win cooperation are the prerequisites."

Wang Tao turned his gun on Xia Linyuan: "I don't think there will be any cooperation with you."

"How could there be no cooperation?" Xia Linyuan asked, feigning confusion.

"We can give you Feng Hou Qi Men, and we can release Wang Bing. We've done you a great service. You know, you accomplished what your entire Wang family couldn't. How can this not be considered cooperation?"

"You need to understand that this is a society governed by law. If your armed kidnapping is exposed, the best outcome would be a life sentence, and you would spend the rest of your promising life in prison..."

"How can it not be considered cooperation if we cover this up for you?"

Wang Tao narrowed his eyes slightly, his fingertip pulled the trigger, and a gunshot rang out. Sparks flew in the darkness, and the bullet grazed Xia Linyuan's foot before hitting Wang Ye's feet: "I know you are a sorcerer, don't make any rash moves."

Wang Ye's stealthy steps faltered. He slowly retreated.

Wang Tao looked at Xia Linyuan: "Trying to sow discord between me and the Wang family?"

"Aren't you underestimating me? The Wang family gives me money, honor, a life of luxury, and the support of the people. You think you can turn them over with just a few words?"

Xia Linyuan said slowly, "So WG Group is very important to you, right...?"

Wang Tao was immediately speechless.

"Unfortunately, that's only important to you. For the extraordinary members of the Wang family, these things are not important. I can help you bring in a large sum of money and talent to help WG overcome this crisis."

It also allows for the separation of financial power within the Wang family, freeing you from their constraints and giving you complete control over your assets and time.

Xia Linyuan's voice carried a hint of seduction.

"really?"

Wang Tao blurted it out, and immediately regretted it. He was just an ordinary person. If the WG Group could completely sever ties with the Wang family, he could stay away from the chaotic world of the superhumans and live the wealthy life that an ordinary person should have.

"Of course, I'll set you up with someone right now..."

As he spoke, Xia Linyuan took out his phone, hung up the call with the Gao brothers, and found Feng Xingtong's number...

World Association

Inside the antique-style study, Feng Xingtong was reading a book, while an elderly man with all-black hair was writing something with a fountain pen beside him.

The phone rang, and Feng Xingtong, seeing it was the caller ID, was overjoyed and quickly answered: "Brother Yuan."

"It's me, Xing Tong. I have something to discuss with Uncle Feng. Could you please pass it on?"

Feng Xingtong's expression gradually calmed down: "I understand, Brother Xia, wait a moment."

After saying that, she ran quickly to Feng Zhenghao's room and suddenly turned on the light: "Father, Brother Yuan is on the phone!"

Feng Zhenghao, still half asleep in his pajamas, couldn't help but sigh when he saw the excited Feng Xingtong: "Youth is so energetic!"

After saying that, he took the phone: "Lin Yuan... what's up?"

Xia Linyuan deliberately raised his voice when he spoke: "Uncle Feng, I have a business deal I'd like to discuss with you."

Feng Zhenghao sensed Xia Linyuan's deliberate intention and said with a smile, "What kind of business? Other things are easy to discuss, but I will be very strict about business matters."

“A group has recently run into some trouble and needs some financial assistance. I wonder if Uncle Feng would be interested.”

As Xia Linyuan spoke, he was also observing Wang Tao's expression, and sure enough, the other party was also looking up expectantly.

Which company is it?

Feng Zhenghao spoke in a pretentious manner.

Xia Linyuan gestured with his chin towards Wang Tao and tossed his phone over: "Here's an opportunity for you to attract investment."

Wang Tao snatched the phone and covered the receiver: "Who is that?"

"The Tianxia Society, with a market value of 300 billion, is being challenged by its president."

Xia Linyuan casually said: "This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. If you miss it, you'll never have another chance."

Wang Tao looked somewhat conflicted. After a moment's hesitation, he gently moved the microphone away: "Hello, Chairman Feng, I'm Wang Tao, the manager of food investment at WG Group..."

"Could you spare ten minutes to let me explain our advantages?"

He looked like he was meeting a demanding client, as humble and subservient as could be.

"Looks like it's all sorted out..." Zhuge Qing said softly, "I thought he was a desperate criminal, but I didn't expect him to be taken care of with just one phone call. We've been working for nothing."

Wang Ye remained silent for a moment, then quietly stepped forward. The magical disc activated, transferring his brother to his side.

"Damn it!" Wang Tao immediately noticed the problem and raised his gun to fire.

Xia Linyuan blocked the path of the shots and said, "It's a pity that you didn't release the hostages; we took them back. Now the stakes are unequal. Feng Hou Qi Men can't give them up, and Wang Bing can't release them. But our cooperation will continue."

"Just hand over what you have with you..."

Wang Tao covered the receiver and smiled coldly: "Do I have a choice?"

The company was beyond saving, and he didn't want to live anymore.

But with hope right in front of him, he really didn't want to give up.

Without hesitation, Wang Tao tossed the document over.

Xia Linyuan took the document: "Don't worry, I value my promises."

Xia Linyuan opened the document and saw that it was indeed a shareholding arrangement on behalf of another company. However, the signatory was not Wang Tao, but Zhu Yang.

Xia Linyuan glanced at Wang Tao; this guy had managed to absolve himself of all responsibility.

Boom!

A figure glided across the ground. He was holding a video camera in his hand.

Xia Linyuan stepped on the man, picked up the video camera, and looked at it. It recorded exactly what had just happened.

Xia Linyuan raised an eyebrow. It seemed Wang Tao was still trying to annoy us even after his death. He wanted to frame us for forcing ordinary people to commit murder.

The video camera was waved in front of Wang Tao for a moment before being put away.

Whoever has the recording has that recording as evidence.

Wang Tao didn't care at all; he was focused on having dinner with Feng Zhenghao.

Chapter 156 Is there even a need to learn this?

"Brother Xia, we caught someone taking photos without permission."

Zhang Chulan emerged from the shadows, and Feng Baobao climbed in through the window on the thirteenth floor, dusting off her hands with a relaxed expression.

"Well done."

"whee."

Zhang Chulan smiled, then looked at Wang Tao, who was on the phone: "What are you going to do with this person?"
