The manager seemed to have anticipated their question and calmly replied, "You two have been contacting banks all night; it would be hard for me not to know."

This explanation seems reasonable, since they had indeed tried contacting several banks before, but they had not agreed to help.

It's likely that people within the banking system know each other, so it wouldn't be difficult for the news to reach the manager's ears.

But why was he willing to agree to something that other banks were unwilling to do? Did he have some special relationship with Fang Yan?

However, in front of the two of them, Qiao Luo didn't dare to ask, and simply thanked them sincerely.

After getting the money and leaving, Qiao Luo said to Fang Yan, "Yan Yan, you can go back now. I can handle the rest on my own."

Fang Yan disagreed.

"That won't do. It's so late, and you're all alone with so much cash. Let me go with you."

"Really, no need. They want money, not your life. Besides, we live in a society governed by law. What can they do to me?"

Hearing Qiao Luo say this, Fang Yan had no choice but to agree, "Then remember to be careful, and also, call me if anything happens."

"it is good."

After watching Fang Yan leave, Qiao Luo turned around and got into her car. Just as she drove off, a black minivan followed closely behind.

"Mr. Lu, Miss Qiao has already taken the money and set off."

Inside the car, Han Jian was driving while reporting to Lu Tingnian.

In the back seat, Lu Tingnian sat there, listening to Han Jian's report, and narrowed his eyes, instructing, "Keep a close eye on her, and make sure she is safe."

"Yes."

After hanging up the phone, Han Jian quickly sped up.

Qiao Luo, however, was completely unaware of this. After receiving the money, she immediately dialed the number left on the other end.

"I've already raised the money, how can I give it to you?"

They seemed very cautious, only providing an address.

Seeing that the transaction was taking place in a remote suburb, Qiao Luo couldn't help but frown.

It's impossible for a woman to not be afraid to go to such a remote place late at night.

However, time was too tight, and she didn't have time to think of any other way, so she had to bite the bullet and rush over.

Fortunately, it was already past 10 p.m. and the traffic was smooth, so we arrived on time.

Qiao Luo drove the car to the designated location. When she got out of the car, she could clearly feel the desolation around her. Although she was a little scared, she still mustered up her courage and walked over.

In front of an abandoned factory, two tall, burly men stood guard. When Qiao Luo approached with her briefcase, one of them went inside to report.

"Brother Chen, we've checked her; she came alone."

The man known as Brother Chen grinned upon hearing this.

"Okay, this girl's got guts. Let's go out and check her out."

With that, the two went out one after the other.

As soon as Qiao Luo reached the factory gate, she saw the two people coming out. Judging from their clothes and their aura, she was certain that the one in front was the person in charge.

So she spoke.

"I've brought the money, not a penny less, a total of 200,000. Where's my brother?"

As she spoke, she glanced behind them.

"What's the rush? We need to check the money first."

As they were talking, someone stepped forward, and Qiao Luo took a step back.

"I will do it myself."

As she spoke, she opened the combination lock box and showed it to the group.

After reviewing it, the group all showed expressions of satisfaction.

"Brother Chen, it's true."

"Hmm." Brother Chen nodded, then gave his subordinate a wink.

The subordinate understood and quickly brought Qiao Yuanzhe out.

At this moment, Qiao Yuanzhe's face was covered with scars, and almost every visible part of his body was covered in wounds. Even his clothes were covered in blood, and he was no longer recognizable as he had been before.

Moreover, he clearly appeared to be mentally unstable.

Qiao Luo felt a pang of heartache, but she knew this wasn't the time to feel sorry for them. She simply turned to Brother Chen, the leader, and said, "Can you release them now?"

Brother Chen, however, gave a lewd smile.

He'd never seen such a beautiful girl before; he hadn't even had his fill of eye candy yet, how could he let her leave so easily?

"What's the rush? We need to discuss this further."

"Yes, we still need to discuss it."

Qiao Luo thought to herself, "The money was given according to your demands, what's there to discuss?" She clearly saw that something was wrong with them, and to avoid further trouble, she quickly said...

"Since you've already checked the money, what's there to discuss? According to the agreement, we should immediately exchange the money for the person."

Qiao Luo pleaded.

The man snorted coldly.

"We'll decide what to do, so why are you in such a hurry?"

"That's right."

The man, with a lewd look on his face, was about to step forward.

Seeing that something was wrong, Qiao Luo quickly backed away, clutching the box. "What...what are you going to do?"
