After the divorce, the aloof CEO begged me not to withdraw my investment.

"What's going on? Where are we?" Ye Feng asked Xu Wu.

“Boss, you’re asleep,” Xu Wu explained. “We followed Fatty Wu here, and it looks like this is one of his lodgings.”

Ye Feng looked around at his surroundings, his brows furrowing slightly.

This place gives me a very uncomfortable feeling.

"What do we do next?" Xu Wu asked.

Ye Feng pondered for a moment, then said, "Let's go in and take a look."

The rusty security door was treated like a toy in Xu Wu's hands.

He took out a roll of thin wire, wrapped it around a few times, and with a soft "click," the door lock opened.

Ye Feng secretly praised him.

This Xu Wu is really something.

The two slipped into the house, and a musty smell hit them.

The room was dimly lit and furnished with simple furniture.

It's so quiet here, unbelievably quiet.

A man wearing a baseball cap stood conspicuously in the center of the living room, holding a gleaming dagger in his hand, facing the door.

Clearly, he had been waiting.

Ye Feng and Xu Wu were both stunned; this was completely unexpected.

Where is Fatty Wu?

Before Ye Feng could react, the man in the baseball cap pounced on Xu Wu with lightning speed, pressing a dagger against his neck.

Xu Wu was caught off guard and subdued.

Ye Feng's heart tightened; the situation had instantly reversed.

He tried to stay calm, scanning the room for a way out.

Just then, the sound of a key turning came from outside the door.

Ye Feng's heart was in his throat.

The door opened, and a little boy carrying a schoolbag walked in.

"Dad, I'm home." The little boy's voice was clear and tender.

The man in the baseball cap was clearly taken aback, a look of panic flashing in his eyes.

Ye Feng keenly noticed this change.

This is an opportunity!

Ye Feng looked at the little boy and smiled kindly: "Little friend, your dad is playing a game. Why don't you come and play with him?"

The little boy walked over curiously, looked at Xu Wu with a dagger pressed against his neck, and asked in confusion, "Dad, what kind of game is this?"

The man in the baseball cap looked ashen-faced, unsure how to respond.

Ye Feng pressed his advantage, continuing, "This game is dangerous; children shouldn't play it. Go do your homework."

The little boy looked at Ye Feng, then at his father, seemingly hesitant.

The man in the baseball cap glared at Ye Feng and said in a low voice, "Mind your own business!"

Ye Feng ignored his threat and continued talking to the little boy: "Your father works very hard. You have to be obedient and study hard, okay?"

The little boy nodded, turned and ran into the room.

Ye Feng secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Men in baseball caps are hesitant to make a move in front of children.

Ye Feng looked at the man in the baseball cap: "Now, can we have a proper talk?"

The man in the baseball cap remained silent for a moment, then finally put down the dagger.

Xu Wu broke free from his control and stood warily beside Ye Feng.

Ye Feng gestured for Xu Wu to sit down, then said to the man in the baseball cap, "Sit down, let's talk."

The man in the baseball cap hesitated for a moment, but then sat down.

"Why are you helping Fatty Wu?" Ye Feng asked bluntly.

The man in the baseball cap sighed and said, "I need money, my son needs money."

Ye Feng pressed further, "You're divorced?"

The man in the baseball cap nodded, his eyes revealing pain.

Ye Feng understood.

This is also someone forced by life's circumstances.

"Do you know where Fatty Wu's mistress is?" Ye Feng asked.

The man in the baseball cap gave an address.

Ye Feng wrote down the address and then said, "Thank you. If you need any help in the future, please feel free to contact me."

Ye Feng and Xu Wu quickly went to the target address.

They then lay in ambush outside the villa, observing the surrounding environment.

The villa was brightly lit, and in one of the rooms on the second floor, a shadowy figure could be vaguely seen moving behind the curtains.

Xu Wu leaned closer and whispered, "Brother Feng, how do we get in?"

Ye Feng pointed to a corner on the side of the villa where there were no surveillance cameras, "Climb over from there."

The two were agile and quickly infiltrated the villa.

Ye Feng led Xu Wu silently to the second floor, and the scene before him through the half-open door shocked him.

On the large bed, a disheveled woman straddled a man, the two entwined passionately.

What surprised Ye Feng even more was that this man was not Fatty Wu.

Ye Feng felt nauseous.

This woman actually cheated on Fatty Wu.

Ye Feng gently pushed open the door, making a soft "creak" sound.

The woman turned around in horror and frantically pulled the blanket over herself and the man.

"Who...who are you?" The woman's face was deathly pale, and her voice trembled.

"Take us to Fatty Wu and get some answers." Ye Feng's tone was icy, his eyes sharp.

The woman was terrified; she never expected to be caught in the act.

Xu Wu took out his phone and snapped a few photos of the two people on the bed.

"No...don't take pictures!" the woman screamed. "I'll give you money, 500,000, as hush money!"

Ye Feng sneered, "You think I'm short of money?"

Five hundred thousand is just a drop in the ocean for him.

The woman completely panicked.

"I... I can tell you the combination to Fatty Wu's safe! There's a lot of money inside, and gold too!"

Ye Feng hesitated for a moment, then said, "Lead the way."

Money was secondary; what he really wanted was Fatty Wu's account book.

The woman cautiously led Ye Feng and Xu Wu to the walk-in closet in the master bedroom.

She opened a huge safe hidden behind a wall, her hands trembling.

The safe was piled high with cash, foreign exchange, and gold bars, which made Xu Wu's eyes widen in amazement.

Ye Feng's gaze, however, fell on a few inconspicuous ledgers in the corner of the safe.

The woman looked at Ye Feng expectantly, "These...we can divide them up!"

Ye Feng calmly picked up the ledger and hid it. Then, pretending to think for a moment, he picked up a large stack of money and handed it to her, saying, "Okay, keep this money. Consider it hush money."

He couldn't let the woman realize that he wanted the ledger.

The woman took the money, quickly changed her clothes, and ran away.

Ye Feng started the car and left the place.

"Brother Feng, that fat guy has a lot of money." Xu Wu felt a little unreal. "The cash and gold in the safe, roughly estimated, must be at least 20 million."

Xu Wu counted on his fingers.

Ye Feng glanced at him, his eyes filled with helplessness.

This guy is still so easily blinded by money.

He shook his head. "A guy like Fatty Wu would never keep his money in a bank. Cash is easy to hide, and it can come in handy at crucial moments."

Xu Wu nodded, seemingly understanding but not quite.

Twenty million! I've never seen so much money in my life.

Ye Feng, however, was already plotting a much bigger plan.

This 20 million might be the key to introducing the three young architects and the big shot behind them.
