After hanging up the phone, Chu Tianyao, like an arrow released from a bow, followed Zhou Yanhuan's instructions, splitting into several groups and rushing towards No. 1 Xingfuli with the relevant personnel.

Chen Mingzhang's family

Zhou Yanhuan sat lazily and beckoned to Karolide by the wall, softly gesturing, "Come here."

After receiving Zhou Yanhuan's instructions, Karolide jogged over to her. The tall man, standing at 1.9 meters, knelt on one knee, bowed his head, and asked respectfully, "Miss, what are your orders?"

Zhou Yanhuan sat on the sofa, casually fiddling with her fingers, and said, "Karolide, I just sent a message to my private lawyer, Mr. Charley, asking him to come to me with five million in cash and a contract relinquishing custody. Judging by the time, they should be at the front door soon. Go and drive to the door to greet them."

“Yes, Miss. I’ll go wait for Mr. Charley at the door now.” Karolid respectfully bowed to Zhou Yanhuan, then stood up and nodded slightly to Chen Mingzhang and his wife.

He then quickly ran out of the room to carry out the task Zhou Yanhuan had given him.

When Xu Linfeng heard that Zhou Yanhuan had her lawyer bring over five million yuan in cash, a sense of doubt welled up in his heart.

He simply couldn't understand Zhou Yanhuan's intentions in doing this.

Is Zhou Yanhuan planning to use this five million to bribe Chief Chen?

If that's the case, then such bribery will not only bring trouble to themselves, but will also implicate Chief Chen.

However, Zhou Yanhuan was unaware that the young master of the Xu family sitting opposite her had imagined that she was trying to bribe Chief Chen with five million yuan simply because her lawyer had brought over five million yuan in cash.

If Zhou Yanhuan knew what Xu Linfeng was thinking, she would definitely reply to him: "Have you ever seen any idiot who publicly bribes a high-ranking person in the military region?"

Zhou Yanhuan smiled brightly at Madam Chen and said, "Aunt Chen, I'm going to the restroom! I carried my pet cat all the way here, and I need to clean off its fur and dust so that the children won't be uncomfortable when I hold them later."

Hearing this, Madam Chen smiled gently and said softly, "Well done, Yanhuan, you are such a thoughtful girl. It's truly admirable that a young woman in her early twenties could consider such details in such a short time." Her eyes were full of appreciation.

Zhou Yanhuan didn't respond much to Madam Chen's praise, only smiling slightly in thanks. Then, she stood up and walked gracefully towards the first-floor bathroom. She was clearly very familiar with the layout of the villa, seemingly a frequent visitor, each step moving with practiced ease.

After Zhou Yanhuan went to the bathroom, only Chief Chen, his wife, and Xu Linfeng remained on the sofa, sitting awkwardly as if glued together, unsure of what to say to each other.

After entering the bathroom, Zhou Yanhuan locked the door and used her mental energy to take out a dust-removing talisman from her spatial storage and held it in her hand.

Zhou Yanhuan whispered a spell: "Hurry, hurry, as the law commands!"

As the incantation ended, the dust-removing talisman in her hand began to burn with blue flames. In the blink of an eye, the blue flames transformed into a blue halo that enveloped Zhou Yanhuan from head to toe.

Time passed second by second, and after only a few breaths, the blue halo gradually dissipated, as if it had never existed, leaving not a trace. Looking at Zhou Yanhuan's clothes now, the areas that were previously covered in cat fur and dust were now clean and spotless.

To avoid startling anyone, Zhou Yanhuan stayed in the bathroom for 5 minutes.

Five minutes later, Zhou Yanhuan walked back to the living room and sat back on the sofa. As soon as she sat down, she realized that the atmosphere was a bit awkward!

Zhou Yanhuan muttered to herself, "These three people, did they stop communicating after I left?" Looking at the scene before her, she couldn't help but feel a mix of doubt and helplessness. At that moment, Zhou Yanhuan finally understood how to describe Xu Linfeng, this complete blockhead.

She couldn't help but sigh to herself, "Ugh! This guy is both infuriating and hilarious!"

Facing a high-ranking and powerful leader like Chen Mingzhang, Xu Linfeng didn't even know how to take the initiative to communicate or get closer to him. If he could have chatted with Chen Mingzhang more and increased mutual understanding, perhaps he could have made a better impression on the other party. However, Xu Linfeng sat there like a wooden figure, not saying a word.

Thinking about this, Zhou Yanhuan felt utterly speechless. She shook her head, thinking, "Is this guy really raised by the Xu family, a prestigious family in the capital? He's too straightforward! Each generation is worse than the last." For someone who wants to succeed in the workplace, learning to communicate and build good relationships is crucial. Xu Linfeng clearly still has a lot to learn.

She wants to take her brother's place later, but given the current situation, she has a long way to go.

Zhou Yanhuan secretly resolved that if Xu Linfeng treated your injuries, she would teach him a lot, and in the future, she would remind him to pay attention to communication skills with superiors in similar situations. After all, in the workplace, in addition to professional skills, interpersonal relationships are also a crucial element.

Only by knowing how to get along with others can one achieve greater success at work.

However, since Zhou Yanhuan had already achieved half of the purpose of bringing Xu Linfeng here today, she glanced at Xu Linfeng and then ignored him.

Zhou Yanhuan took out her phone from her bag, leaned back lazily on the sofa, and about a minute later, her fair and slender fingers began to dance wildly on the screen, as if she were sending a message to someone or explaining the situation.

Chen Mingzhang had been closely watching Zhou Yanhuan's every move. When he saw her take out her phone, he couldn't help but steal glances at her expression and emotional changes. He was genuinely uneasy, fearing that Zhou Yanhuan would immediately go and complain to him.

Given Zhou Yanhuan's family's fiercely protective nature and her favored position within the Yuzhou royal family, if she were to reveal the matter to the royal court now, forget about the plan; it could instantly trigger a serious international crisis. Moreover, this incident stemmed entirely from his subordinates' failure to properly handle the aftermath of the plan, so Chen Mingzhang felt deeply guilty!

Five minutes later, Karolide walked in briskly, carrying two large black duffel bags in her hands and a smaller black duffel bag on her back, looking like a camel burdened with a heavy load.

A mixed-race young man followed behind, carrying a black briefcase typical of lawyers.

Karolide walked up to Zhou Yanhuan, placed the three bags she was carrying at her feet, and said respectfully, "Miss, the five million is all here, and Charley has arrived as well."

Zhou Yanhuan nodded and said calmly to Karolide and Charley, "Thank you for helping me with so many things today. You are like my right and left arms, making me feel incredibly warm and at ease."

"It's no trouble at all; it's our duty to serve Miss." Karolide and Charley said in unison, their voices like a duet, harmonious yet firm.
