"Someone from the Killers' Society?"
Hearing Zi Guang announce his affiliation, Shen Lang's expression darkened. "Your Killers' Society is truly losing all sense of decency, not even sparing women."
"You flatter me, but our Killers' Society has always had no bottom line. As long as our objective can be achieved, let alone women, we wouldn't spare the elderly or newborn children."
Zi Guang smiled sinisterly at Shen Lang. "I called you for two reasons. First, I want you to find a way to release Hyena. Second, hand Qin Bianque over to me."
"Shen Lang, I know you're always tough, and many of us have fallen by your hand. But let me tell you, if you dare to say no, I'll kill Ye Shishi."
Zi Guang chuckled playfully. "Ye Shishi is pregnant. Whose child is it? Could it be yours?"
"I agree."
Upon hearing Zi Guang's words, Shen Lang didn't hesitate. "How do I hand them over to you, and how do you return Ye Shishi to me?"
"Haha, I thought you were a man of stone. I didn't expect you to agree so readily once the woman you love is in danger."
"Alright, since that's the case, I'll be blunt. After you release Hyena and Qin Bianque, send them to Nanling Beishan Public Cemetery. My people will take them from there."
"Don't worry, as soon as they appear at Beishan Public Cemetery, Ye Shishi will be safely sent home. Our cooperation will be perfectly concluded."
"Good—"
Shen Lang replied, "I'll send Hyena and Qin Bianque to Beishan Public Cemetery in three hours. But first, I need to confirm one thing: Ye Shishi's safety."
"No wonder Alice and Boynton died by your hand. Shen Lang, you are truly remarkable. Even now, your mind is so meticulous. If you weren't opposing the Killers' Society, I'd want to be friends with you."
Zi Guang chuckled. "Since you want to confirm Ye Shishi's safety, fine, I'll give you this chance."
With that, Zi Guang called out, "Ye Shishi, Shen Lang wants to speak with you. Say a few words to him."
"Shen Lang, is that you?"
After Zi Guang finished speaking, Ye Shishi's voice soon echoed from the other end of the line.
Ye Shishi sounded very excited, clearly indicating she had been captured.
"Shishi, it's me. Don't worry, I will ensure your safety."
Shen Lang smiled at Ye Shishi. "Just consider this a game. Don't panic, don't be afraid. In three hours, I will rescue you successfully."
"Shen Lang, I'm not afraid. As long as you're here, I fear nothing."
Ye Shishi sobbed. "I'll wait for you to save me, and after the baby is born, our family will travel the world. Oh, right, didn't you want to go to Daocheng? We'll go to Daocheng then, and smell the fragrance of ten miles of rice paddies."
"Okay, we'll go to Daocheng then."
Shen Lang smiled. "You rest well for now. You'll see me soon."
"How was that? Am I being generous enough? You've repeatedly opposed our Killers' Society, yet I haven't tortured or abused your beloved woman at all. So, don't disappoint me, and send Hyena and Qin Bianque to the place I specified."
Zi Guang's voice suddenly came from the phone, smiling.
"Zi Guang, I'll remember you. Our vendetta begins now. If I get the chance, I'll cut you down."
Shen Lang said to Zi Guang, "I'll rescue them as soon as possible, but I hope you won't play any tricks."
With that, Shen Lang hung up the phone, then picked up his rice bowl and ate the rice and dishes with gusto.
"Husband, what happened?"
Seeing Shen Lang's grim expression after taking a call, and his ravenous eating, Wang Yuyan knew something serious had occurred. She asked curiously.
"Yuyan, Shishi has been captured by people from the Killers' Society. I have to go rescue her. You eat first, and after you finish, put the food in the microwave to keep warm. I'll eat when I get back."
Shen Lang looked at his wife and smiled tenderly.
"Okay, husband, I understand."
Wang Yuyan looked at Shen Lang and smiled. "Be careful and be sure to rescue Sister Shishi."
Shen Lang nodded, then put on his jacket and drove away from the villa.
After Shen Lang left, Wang Yuyan took out a satellite phone and dialed a number.
"Miss, this is Bai Niao. What are your orders?"
A respectful voice from Bai Niao came from the other end of the line.
"Bai Niao, protect Lang from the shadows, but only intervene if absolutely necessary."
Wang Yuyan said calmly, "Do you understand?"
"Miss, don't worry, I understand. I won't let the son-in-law get hurt," Bai Niao replied respectfully before hanging up.
"Ye Shishi, she's such an eyesore. Perhaps she should disappear like Gu Qinghan."
After hanging up, Wang Yuyan murmured to herself and dialed another number.
"Miss, this is Wu Ya. What are your orders?"
A respectful voice came from the other end of the phone.
"Ye Shishi has been captured by people from the Killers' Society. Find a way to make her disappear forever, can you?"
Wang Yuyan asked Wu Ya on the phone with a smile.
"There's nothing impossible in this world, only what can be done and what cannot. As long as Miss commands, I will do my utmost."
Wu Ya replied respectfully, "Does she disappear alive or dead?"
"I don't kill people, but I also don't want to see her again. I want her to disappear like Gu Qinghan."
Wang Yuyan smiled gently. "Wu Ya, you are the one I trust the most. You won't disappoint me, will you?"
"Miss, don't worry. It will be as you wish."
Wu Ya smiled and hung up.
Half an hour after Wu Ya hung up, Shen Lang drove his car to the Martial Guard Department. After parking, he went directly to Song Shadao's office.
Song Shadao was practicing calligraphy. The moment Shen Lang entered, the character "Dao" on the paper was just completed.
"What's wrong? You seem in a hurry. Did you run into trouble?"
Seeing Shen Lang's anxious expression, Song Shadao smiled and asked.
"Uncle, Ye Shishi has been captured by the Killers' Society. They've made a demand: for me to bring Hyena and Qin Bianque to Beishan Public Cemetery."
Shen Lang said, "I know releasing Hyena and Qin Bianque is difficult, but I hope you can help me this once and release them."
"No problem. But let's be clear upfront, you'll have to bring them back the way you let them out."
Song Shadao typed on the computer for a while, then printed out a release notice. He stamped it and handed it to Shen Lang.
"Thank you, Uncle."
Upon receiving the release notice, Shen Lang was overjoyed. "Uncle, don't worry. I'll let them out for some fresh air. After Ye Shishi is safe, they'll return."
