Watanabe Kazushi reprimanded the man, and he didn't dare to argue, only nodding and listening.

Ling Zhenfei, however, was moved in his heart; it was really unexpected that Hoshino Junka was caught last night.

Hoshino Junka, needless to say, was planning to kidnap Watanabe Hideaki at the Watanabe Manor, but unexpectedly got caught.

It seems that nothing can be done now; we can only wait until we arrive at the Watanabe Manor and then find a way to rescue Hoshino Junka.

The car bumped all the way and finally arrived at the Watanabe Manor. Upon reaching the familiar Watanabe Manor, Ling Zhenfei felt that everything was no longer familiar and even felt strange.

The car stopped, and Ling Zhenfei was taken out of the car, where Watanabe Nagayumi was waiting outside. Upon seeing Ling Zhenfei, Watanabe Nagayumi walked up.

"Mr. Ling, we're so glad you could come back."

Ling Zhenfei smiled slightly: "Mr. Watanabe, you're too kind. I didn't want to come back, but I had no choice, did I?"

Watanabe Nagayumi said, "We've prepared lunch for you, to welcome you."

Ling Zhenfei said, "You're really too kind. Let's skip the formalities; there's no need for that between us."

Watanabe Nagayumi said, "You truly are polite, but everything is ready, let's go together."

A few people led Ling Zhenfei to a small dining room, and Ling Zhenfei was brought in with Watanabe Nagayumi and Watanabe Kazushi sitting on either side.

Watanabe Nagayumi was indeed prepared, as soon as they sat down, the food was served, steaks and the like, which seemed to be carefully prepared.

Ling Zhenfei was indeed hungry, and without reservations, began to eat. After all, one needs energy to do other things.

Watanabe Nagayumi poured a glass of wine for Ling Zhenfei, then chased all the attendants out, leaving the room with only Watanabe Kazushi, Watanabe Nagayumi, and Ling Zhenfei.

Watanabe Kazushi said, "Mr. Ling, now that you're back, don't you have something to say to us?"

Ling Zhenfei asked curiously, "Say what? What do we have to talk about?"

Watanabe Nagayumi said, "Where's the Heaven-Devouring Divine Cloth?"

Ling Zhenfei said, "The Heaven-Devouring Divine Cloth is mine, does it concern you?"

Watanabe Nagayumi said, "Mr. Ling, I hope you can see your current situation clearly. You're in great danger now; do I really need to tell you that?"

Ling Zhenfei said, "Of course I know it's dangerous, but I have no way to change it."

Watanabe Nagayumi raised his wine glass and clinked it with Ling Zhenfei's and said, "You're wrong, you certainly can change it. Just hand over the Heaven-Devouring Divine Cloth and reveal its secrets, and we'll let you go, continuing as a Divine Doctor."

Ling Zhenfei laughed heartily, almost breathlessly, "Mr. Watanabe, do you think I'm a fish, that I only have a seven-second memory? You've tricked me so many times in a row; do you think I'll still believe you?

Mr. Watanabe, you're really not being fair; if you're going to deceive someone, shouldn't you choose a different target? You can't just keep deceiving me, thinking I'm an idiot."

Watanabe Kazushi was also slightly embarrassed because Ling Zhenfei was indeed right; they had indeed deceived Ling Zhenfei repeatedly, without fulfilling any promises.

Watanabe Kazushi said, "Do you think, at this point, you have any choice? Hand over the Heaven-Devouring Divine Cloth, reveal its secrets, and then we'll release you."

Ling Zhenfei said, "Forget it, just kill me. I'm prepared to have the secret buried forever."

"You brat, are you seeking death?" Watanabe Kazushi started getting angry.

Ling Zhenfei smiled and said, "How are you going to scare me? I'm not someone who gets scared easily. If you're going to kill me, just get on with it."

"Brat, don't think I won't dare do it. It won't take much effort for me to kill you." Watanabe Kazushi said this while raising his hand.

Just at that moment, there was a knock on the door, followed by Watanabe Hideaki's voice shouting, "Dad, open the door. Is Mr. Ling back?"

Watanabe Hideaki's words interrupted the three men, and then they saw Watanabe Hideaki walk in from outside.

Watanabe Hideaki was dressed in a samurai outfit, looking very heroic. Every morning was the time for cultivation, so at this moment, Watanabe Hideaki appeared in a samurai uniform.

Watanabe Hideaki's appearance eased the tension among the people present, and Watanabe Kazushi also lowered his hand.

Watanabe Hideaki was very happy to see Ling Zhenfei: "Big Brother Ling, you're back, that's good."

Watanabe Hideaki knew exactly what had happened, but at this time, she acted as if she knew nothing, which showed her cleverness.

"It's nothing, just went out for a spin. I'm better now than before." Ling Zhenfei said with a smile.

Seeing Ling Zhenfei in good spirits, Watanabe Hideaki was also very happy. At this moment, her dish was served, and Watanabe Hideaki took a bite.

"What kind of chef is this? The food is so bad. Big Brother Ling, why don't you cook? It's a waste for them to handle such good beef."

Ling Zhenfei smiled and said, "No need, let's just make do."

In this strange atmosphere, the few of them finished their meal. Watanabe Nagayumi spoke to Watanabe Hideaki, "Hideaki, this afternoon, you have your tea ceremony lesson at Hoshino sensei's house, don't forget."

Watanabe Hideaki pouted with a displeased face and said, "Dad, can I go tomorrow? Big Brother Ling is finally back, and I want to learn to cook from him."

"No, you've already made an appointment with Hoshino sensei, you can't break it." Watanabe Nagayumi became very strict.

"Alright, I'm going then." Watanabe Hideaki glanced at Ling Zhenfei and said, "Big Brother Ling, wait for me, I'll come find you after I get back."

Ling Zhenfei nodded, "Study well."

After Watanabe Hideaki left, an awkward silence fell among the three of them again.

Watanabe Nagayumi said, "Mr. Ling, I think you should consider this thoroughly. Now you're in the Watanabe Family, and it won't be like last time where you could escape, so it's best to cooperate."

Ling Zhenfei said, "Mr. Watanabe, I think you should treat our situation as a collaborative relationship; that's how we can mutually benefit."

"What do you mean?" Watanabe Nagayumi asked.

Ling Zhenfei said, "If you treat me like a prisoner, then I won't reveal the secret to you. It will remain buried with me.

If you can specify what benefits I can receive and show some concrete actions, maybe I'll tell you the secret; that's mutual benefit."

Watanabe Nagayumi said, "Alright, I'm very willing. As long as you reveal the secret, we can negotiate anything."

Ling Zhenfei said, "Originally, there weren't many conflicts between us, all of them were misunderstandings. Tell me, how many treasures do you have that I would be interested in?"

Watanabe Nagayumi glanced at Watanabe Kazushi, who nodded, and Watanabe Nagayumi said, "The greatest benefit you seek is for us to let you go, that's no problem at all."

Ling Zhenfei shook his head, "Of course not, letting me go is just the basic condition. Ultimately, you all have to let me go. I'm talking about the additional benefits."
