Chapter 769 Losing the Wife and Collateral

"I, I'm sure, I can't let my daughter stay here, all three of us in our family are going abroad!"

Wei Anguo told Xiao Jin solemnly. This person looked easy to talk to, and his courage grew unconsciously.

The forces behind these people could definitely help him rescue Wei Jin!

"Aren't you going to consider it again?"

Xiao Jin unhurriedly gestured to the money piled on the table. He spoke slowly, as if showing mercy to a lamb before slaughter.

The other black-clad men held their breath. Although Xiao Jin appeared gentle, it was only on the surface.

This sentence was his final ultimatum to Wei Anguo.

"Mr. Jin, I'll be blunt. I just want you to rescue Wei Jin." Wei Anguo shook his head decisively, a hint of cunning appearing on his face. The initiative was with him now!

The outcome of this negotiation was doomed to be a breakdown. Xiao Jin suddenly smiled. He abruptly stood up, startling Wei Anguo, who fell backward and landed on all fours.

Xiao Mu pointed at Wei Anguo and laughed unceremoniously. Xiao Jin glanced at the group and waved his hand, signaling them to wrap up.

"Mr. Wei, I respect your decision. We need to consider it further. Goodbye."

Xiao Jin dropped the sentence decisively. The group quickly packed up the things on the table and left through the main door in broad daylight.

"Good... good..." Wei Anguo couldn't help but click his tongue at the speed at which the black-clad men left. He muttered "good" a few times involuntarily. When he came to his senses, they were already gone.

It was as if it were a dream, only the open door reminding him that a group of black-clad men had indeed been there.

Yin Fang, who was also in the room, woke up. She stealthily opened a crack in the door and peeked towards the living room. Suddenly, a large face appeared before her, nearly giving Yin Fang a heart attack.

"Ah!" The force of this scream pierced the ceiling and almost shattered Wei Anguo's eardrums.

"You crazy woman! Stop screaming and untie me quickly!" kanδん

Wei Anguo glared at Yin Fang. Yin Fang looked at him guiltily and turned to get a pair of scissors.

She had expected to see a bloody crime scene after waking up. She hadn't expected Wei Anguo to be alive and well in front of her. She was a little surprised and then felt relieved.

Both of Wei Anguo's hands were numb from being tied. He looked absentmindedly at the small coffee table. Just now, two million yuan had been placed there!

"Did those people do anything to you?" Yin Fang asked weakly.

"Hmph, the people behind them need something from me!" Wei Anguo couldn't help but show off. He coughed a few times and said casually, "In a few days, we'll see Wei Jin."

"Really? Those people are that capable!" Yin Fang's hands trembled with excitement upon hearing this. No wonder she had thought that group of people was extraordinary earlier.

She no longer sought great wealth and status. As long as Wei Jin could return to her safely, it would be worth more than anything!

"We'll just wait for good news at home." Wei Anguo hummed a little tune gleefully. Once Wei Jin returned home, he would ask for the two million yuan. By then, they would be in a difficult position and would have no choice but to give it to him.

Life was indeed a gamble, with turning points at every moment!

While the Wei family was full of joy, the group returning was sitting silently in the car. Xiao Jin was using his computer to compile a report on the Wei family.

"Big Brother, I really don't understand. Why didn't we just deal with Wei Anguo directly?"

Xiao Mu made a throat-slitting gesture and grumbled his protest, flicking his butterfly knife as if he couldn't wait to go on a killing spree.

"No, we need to wait for Boss to ask Miss for instructions."

Xiao Jin replied without looking up. The golden-rimmed glasses flashed with a reflection, mirroring the text on the computer screen. kanδん

"We still need to ask for instructions on something like this. I don't know what Boss is thinking, insisting on following Miss. I would have just eliminated the traitors and had some peace!"

Xiao Mu expressed his dissatisfaction. People like them should be decisive and kill without mercy. Nowadays, he felt increasingly like he was being underutilized.

He would never have imagined that they would actually break down someone's door so politely.

"Watch your words! Since we follow Kai, we must respect his beliefs, and we must not question Miss Lin casually!"

Xiao Jin's sharp gaze swept towards Xiao Mu, and in a flash, he landed a punch on his right cheek!

Xiao Mu clutched his swollen cheek and snorted, spitting blood out the car window. He hid behind Xiao Shui, his back to Xiao Jin.

Faced with Xiao Jin's anger, the remaining people dared not say anything. Xiao Shui took an ice pack and silently handed it to Xiao Mu.

On the other side, in the CEO's office of Kaiyuan Company, a nimble dark shadow seemed to emerge from Catherine's shadow and suddenly appeared behind her.

Catherine calmly swirled the wine glass in her hand and looked at the figure reflected in the floor-to-ceiling window, asking casually.

"Kai, was the matter handled?"

"No, Wei Anguo refused our offer. He's very firm about wanting Wei Jin."

Kai briefly described the entire incident, omitting the details. Having followed Catherine for decades, he knew very well that Miss only cared about results.

"Oh? He's quite bold." kaNshu伍.ξà

Catherine sighed in surprise, pausing her wine glass. She slowly raised her eyes, a hint of ruthlessness flashing across them.

Wei Anguo was indeed the old fox of the Wei family. He knew they needed him, which is why he had the audacity to demand Wei Jin. This was truly pushing his luck!

"Miss, we have an eighty percent chance of rescuing Wei Jin. Do we agree to Wei Anguo's terms?"

Kai saw that Catherine was on the verge of hesitation and blurted it out. Just now, Xiao Jin had calculated their success rate. Rescuing Wei Jin was a simple matter.

Catherine shook her head. She leaned against the desk, gazing quietly out the window. A few birds flew by, chirping. She took a sip of red wine, the rich flavor lingering on her tongue.

According to the information they had gathered, Wei Jin clearly had a very bad relationship with Wei Yumeng. Back then, Wei Jin was imprisoned and sentenced for so long...

The Zhan family had played a part in this.

Moreover, when she visited Wei Yumeng in the hospital last time, she happened to meet Wei Anguo. Judging by Wei Yumeng's attitude, she didn't intend to let Wei Jin off easily.

If she took the risk to rescue Wei Jin, with the Zhan family's power, they would eventually find out about her. Wouldn't that be like stealing a chicken only to lose the rice?

"If we rescue Wei Jin, won't the Zhan family find out about us?"

Catherine voiced her concerns. After all, Kaiyuan Company was thriving thanks to the Zhan family, and the Zhan family could both give and take back.

Before her wings were strong enough in China, offending the Zhan family would have dire consequences. She would lose both the favor and the soldiers.
