Quenching

Xing Songfeng quickly picked up the IOU, tore it to shreds, and stared intently at Kong Yanfei, hoping she would glance at him.

"Kong Yanfei, I won't let anything happen to you, I..."

"Kong Yanfei, don't you all dislike the young master dating Huang Qiaqia? Why didn't you stop it, instead..."

"Respect, because we respect Huang Qiaqia's choice and her preferences."

If Wanli Fuguang weren't some damned heir, we would also like this excellent young man.

Therefore, unlike you, we don't repeatedly use underhanded tactics to destroy a relationship.

"But Huang Qiaqia simply..."

"So what? Just because you're afraid of breaking up, being in pain, or getting hurt, does that mean you're afraid to try or have anything?"

Since Huang Qiaqia started dating Wanli Fuguang, she's become increasingly silly and slow-witted, but this also shows that she's becoming increasingly happy.

Wu Haofeng sighed, staring at Huang Qiaqia outside the car window with his brows furrowed.

"I……"

Just as Xing Songfeng was about to hug Kong Yanfei again, Kong Yanfei pushed him away, got out of the car, and threw herself into Huang Qiaqia's arms.

Xing Songfeng turned around and punched Wu Haofeng hard in the arm, angrily saying.

"Why do you say it's so heavy?"

"I'm not getting to the point, but could you please stay away from her?"

Why should I stay away from her?

"Not to mention that Sheng Shanxing and the young master are getting along very well now, like friends. Just look at Sheng Shanxing, who is always running around for those who can't afford medical treatment, and you're always thinking about sleeping with his wife. How immoral are you?"

“I’ve done many immoral things, but I’ve never seen you get this agitated. Why are you so protective of Sheng Shanxing?”

"I...you should think about how Huang Qiaqia will slap you when you get home!"

"She dares to touch me? This little brat, she's really gone too far."

"Why wouldn't she dare to hit you? Just look at how Kong Yanfei got out of the car just now, she could give you a good slap."

"She hits me, but I can't hit her to death."

"You dare hit her?"

"I...I don't dare, but...let's go home and stay here! Let's not sleep on the sofa at her place anymore?"

"Are you crazy? Zhao Chuantao is wandering around now. Don't worry, Huang Qiaqia is alone at home."

Xing Songfeng looked out the car window and saw Huang Qiaqia comforting Kong Yanfei, who was crying her eyes out.

"Won't they both cry for a while?"

"Why are you crying? We'll be getting on the bus soon."

"How did you know? You..."

The car door was pulled open with a "whoosh," and with a "smack," Xing Songfeng's face was covered with five bright red handprints.

******

White clouds drifted across the sky. Huang Qiaqia, in the Pagani, craned his neck until Kong Yanfei entered the film set before pulling his head back and asking curiously.

"What exactly happened to Zhao Chuantao's company? How could it not only go bankrupt overnight, but also escalate to the point of kidnapping?"

Wu Haofeng gestured for the driver to start the car and slowly explained.

"Xing Songfeng, Zhao Chuantao, and Minghui own several companies and have some money. They often hang out together and invest in projects."

However, problems arose at Minghui's Tianhong Lanmingyuan residential complex, forcing them to scramble for funds and ultimately resorting to high-interest loans.

"What does Minghui's family's lack of money have to do with Zhao Chuantao's family?"

"If Minghui had just borrowed money from everyone, that would have been one thing, but he tricked everyone into investing, becoming shareholders, and doing projects. Zhao Chuantao believed him."

"So, it's like dividing the debt, the usurious loan, equally among everyone."

"Didn't Zhao Chuantao notice this before?"

To the uninformed, Tianhong Lanmingyuan was a beautiful money-making project, but in reality it was a bottomless pit.

So, he resorted to kidnapping to get money to cover his losses. We had previously given him a batch of cars, but he still wasn't satisfied.

"He's despicable; this is fraud. Why doesn't Xing Songfeng call the police?"

"Zhao Chuantao and Xing Songfeng get along very well. There are some things that the police shouldn't know about between friends like them."

Wu Haofeng stared intently at Huang Qiaqia's mouth, which opened several times, and finally chose to remain silent. He took out his phone, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.

"what happened?"

"I asked Kong Yanfei to change her clothes and send me a message, but..."

Huang Qiaqia held up the phone, and the repeated dialing made Wu Haofeng's face darken. He then gave a low command.

"Turn around and go back to the set."

Xing Songfeng's phone rang, and he quickly arrived with a group of people.

Inside the Pagani, Wu Haofeng gave the driver a serious order.

"Remember this: no matter what happens, Huang Qiaqia is not allowed to get out of the car. If there is any danger, turn around and run immediately."

The driver nodded, Wu Haofeng got out of the car, and Huang Qiaqia quickly climbed into the passenger seat.

The emaciated Zhao Chuantao, holding Kong Yanfei hostage, sneered.

Xing Songfeng stared at the scratches on Kong Yanfei's fair shoulder and gave the order.

"Zhao Chuantao, release Kong Yanfei immediately. If you want money, I'll be your hostage."

As soon as Xing Songfeng said this, Wu Haofeng, who was standing next to him, glared at him and secretly turned the knob on his watch.

"Heh, Xing Songfeng, it seems this woman is very important to you. Yesterday, you kindly gave me ten million, but it was actually to rescue this woman, wasn't it!"

"Stop talking nonsense and release them."

"So, why did you keep making excuses and not invest back then? It turns out you already knew that Minghui's Tianhong Lanmingyuan had problems."

I was so grateful to you yesterday. I thought you were a good friend, but it turns out you're just like them.

Wu Haofeng strode forward and hurriedly defended himself.

“Zhao Chuantao, you’re wrong. Xing Songfeng’s problem isn’t because of Kong Yanfei, it’s because of him…”

Before Wu Haofeng could finish speaking, Xing Songfeng pushed him away with one hand, straightened his chest, and made a solemn promise.

"It's all for Kong Yanfei. I'd do anything for Kong Yanfei."

Wu Haofeng's hair stood on end, his eyes were bloodshot, and he clenched his fists, pounding hard on Xing Songfeng's back as he cursed.

"Are you crazy? You'd risk your life for a woman."

"I won't exchange it, you pay me!"

“He’s a bottomless pit. He just gave me ten million yesterday, and it’s all gone today. Now he wants more money, and you don’t even ask how he spent it.”

"I asked, 'Will you give me a check?'"

Xing Songfeng extended his hand, and Wu Haofeng handed him a check for ten million dollars, along with the knob on his watch.

Xing Songfeng walked calmly to Zhao Chuantao's side, preparing to hand her the check. Zhao Chuantao glanced at the check and said coldly.

"I want cash."

Xing Songfeng glanced at the red marks on Kong Yanfei's fragrant shoulder, slapped the check into Zhao Chuantao's hand, and said impatiently.

"Here you go. Where am I supposed to get cash for you?"

As soon as Xing Songfeng withdrew his hand, Zhao Chuantao's heart tightened suddenly, and her whole body felt weak and limp, as if her bones were melting, and she could hardly support her body.

Zhao Chuantao forced herself to stand up straight, panting heavily.

"I...I...I want cash."
