The tall, shapely beauty Jiang Hanyang and the people around her stared blankly as Shen Qiang left.

Watching his retreating figure, the young man standing beside the Heroic Thief chuckled, "Is Shen Qiang an idiot? The boss received fifteen million, not him. He came here to show off, yet he ended up giving us another seven and a half million."

At the moment he heard this.

Jiang Hanyang's face turned instantly pale. She immediately took out her phone, then dialed the customer service hotline for her mobile banking.

"Account transaction details: Eleven o'three AM, a deposit of fifteen million; Eleven o'three AM, a withdrawal of fifteen million. Your account balance is one hundred thirty-two point zero six yuan..."

She hung up the phone.

The Heroic Thief turned it off.

After taking out the SIM card, she broke the phone card in half, then turned to them and said, "Everyone keep your memory cards, then give me your phones. And make it quick."

The crowd was stunned.

But there was no hesitation.

After collecting all their phones.

The Heroic Thief glanced at the already cut open snake skin bag and said solemnly, "Divide this cash among yourselves, then don't fly to Shanghai. Don't go on a spending spree, don't share contact information with each other, and don't tell anyone where you're going."

"Don't keep doing this line of work. Find a quiet place and start a new life, securely and peacefully."

Upon hearing this, the young man panicked, "Boss, why? We've always been successful, we're the best."

"I used to think so too," Jiang Hanyang looked at him seriously, "but in front of Shen Qiang, we're nothing. If it wasn't for his presence here, his honesty and trustworthiness, giving us seven hundred fifty thousand, we wouldn't have received a dime after flying to Shanghai."

The crowd fell silent.

The young man protested, "So what? It was his trap, his tampering; he used our trust against us—you can't blame yourself for that. We just have to leave here and not come back, we can still live freely elsewhere."

Jiang Hanyang said gravely, "Don't you understand? He had already considered everything before setting up the trap. Even before he came to see me, he knew that after we got the money, we would take it and make a run for it!"

"So he hacked our phones, computers, bank accounts. So the very instant we received that money, he had already transferred it out, and we got no text alerts. Do you have any idea how terrifying that is?"

"It means as long as we keep these electronic devices, he can find us anytime, anywhere. And he can freely control our funds, our contacts. If he gets displeased, we will end up rotting in jail."

Thinking all of this over, the young man grew more agitated, "Boss, what does that matter? You can't have us disband over something like this."

Jiang Hanyang raised an eyebrow coolly, "Stop being naive. Behind Shunhua Company is Long Yan Group. If Shen Qiang can find us, so can they. Now let's split the money and leave, and don't tell me where you're going. Don't try to contact again."

Frowning, the young man retorted, "So what if Long Yan Group can find us? Shen Qiang is too cunning; they can't outwit the Shen family. Didn't Shen Qiang just clearly invite us to join the Shen family? We can mix with him, can't we?"

Looking at the young man, Jiang Hanyang said gravely, "We had an agreement – a career, like life, if I fail once, I'm out. So, stop wasting time, divide the money, go your separate ways, and never contact each other again. That's the only way to ensure everyone's safety."

"Even if what you say is true, we can accept Shen Qiang's leadership. He has proven his strength. In the future, he can plan, and we'll execute. There's really no need to disband like this," the young man urged desperately.

With that, the older man sighed and said, "The Shen family invited her alone, not us. So give it up, it's time to fold. We have all saved a good amount over these past years together."

"As long as we don't spend recklessly, we have enough to live securely for the rest of our lives. Stop making it hard for her. Actually, I can tell she belongs with Shen Qiang and his ilk; we can't hold her back for life."

"Shut up," the young man erupted, glaring at Jiang Hanyang, "We're partners, brothers, like family. And now, just because Shen Qiang invited you, you're going to abandon us?"

Jiang Hanyang said coldly, "Enough. You know that's not the case. And we knew long ago that we couldn't always have it easy. This time, Shen Qiang was generous, honorable. He brought us seven hundred fifty thousand."

"But if it had been someone else, they could've waited to call the cops after we boarded the plane. Then we'd be arrested the moment we landed. For swindling fifteen million, each of us would be looking at at least a decade in prison, and they could take every penny."

"But he didn't do that!" the young man shouted, incensed.

Hearing that, Jiang Hanyang raised an eyebrow, "Just because he didn't, doesn't mean others won't. You think Shen Qiang and the Shen family are powerful, impressive? Let me tell you, the scale of Long Yan Group is at least more than ten times that of the Shen family."

"If the Shen family is a speedboat, then Long Yan Group is an aircraft carrier. If even Shen Qiang can do it, do you really think Long Yan Group can't?"

"Can you stop being childish?" Jiang Hanyang frowned, "Previously, we only dealt with Ordinary crooks and bullies, no big deal. But this time, we've gotten involved in something we absolutely cannot control or stand against."

"If we don't disband now, when Long Yan Group figures it out, we'll all end up dead in the streets," Jiang Hanyang continued, "So trust me, divide this money, leave immediately. Choose your own flights, go anywhere, but don't tell me; don't contact me again, nor will I contact you."

With that said, Jiang Hanyang turned and walked away.

As she watched her resolute figure disappear, the young man grew desperate, "If we're going, then let's all go together. Where are you going?"

Jiang Hanyang replied, "I told you I wouldn't tell you," and with that,

she quickly disappeared from sight.

Once sure they could no longer see her,

Jiang Hanyang secretly stood in a corner, watching as they divided all the money. Then, like a stranger, she walked into the airport.

She sighed softly to herself, "Even though it was joyful, what must end, must end. I will erase every trace that you ever lived here, and this will be the last time I help you."
