I've heard Chen Qian say that among his fellow disciples, Lu Yushang, the sister of Lu Huanong, can walk on water and fly with the wind. I really wonder what kind of miraculous cultivation technique this is.

"You're really nice to this girl called Lin Yuluo. Is she your girlfriend?" Su Yuwei said with a lot of feeling.

"She's not a girlfriend or anything, just a friend. No matter which of my friends gets into trouble, I will help them." Ling Zhenfei wasn't wrong in what he said. No matter which of his friends gets into trouble and wants Ling Zhenfei's help, considering his personality, he definitely would go.

Su Yuwei couldn't help but fall into deep thought, pondering something. After a while, she said, "I hope after the money is paid, your friend will be released smoothly."

Ling Zhenfei snorted coldly, not accepting or denying it. He felt that this matter definitely wasn't so simple.

Soon, the two of them returned to that large courtyard in the mountains. Ling Zhenfei was once again back in the era without internet. By this time, it was late, very dim, and some rooms had already turned on their lights.

At this moment, Lin Yuluo came back, holding a phone in her hand. This phone was a bit special, seemingly like an old-style large mobile phone.

"Here's a phone for you, just insert your SIM card in it."

Ling Zhenfei looked at this phone and then at his own, saying, "This phone probably can't go online, right?"

Su Yuwei said, "Being able to make a call is already good, and you still want to go online? Let me tell you, this is a global phone, invented by my dad, and only a few very important people in our country have it."

Ling Zhenfei took the phone over; it was quite heavy, even the feel was like an old mobile phone.

"Is this thing really that powerful?"

Su Yuwei said, "Of course, with this phone, you can make a call from anywhere in the world directly."

Ling Zhenfei was taken aback, "Can I use my phone number?"

"Of course, otherwise, would it be my dad's invention? It uses the BeiDou satellites to transmit signals, so just use it with confidence."

Ling Zhenfei was delighted. Although this thing wasn't very aesthetically pleasing, it was extremely practical, most importantly, not affected by signal blocking.

Ling Zhenfei was very eager now because if his phone couldn't receive signals, it would mean losing news about Lin Yuluo.

After setting everything up, Ling Zhenfei and Su Yuwei went to check on Old Master Su's condition again.

Now Old Master Su was awake, but his body was still weak and his nerves rather fragile, so Ling Zhenfei didn't allow others to see him, afraid that any stimulus might break the just-repaired meridians.

After assisting Old Master Su with another treatment, it was evening. Ling Zhenfei felt a bit vexed, always worried about Lin Yuluo's situation.

At this moment, Manager Sun sent a message to Ling Zhenfei, saying that they were preparing to transfer the money to the kidnappers.

Ling Zhenfei didn't reply, letting them handle it. It would be best to rescue Lin Yuluo using this method.

Ling Zhenfei called Xiao Yaqing, who seemed to be worried about Lin Yuluo as well, so she picked up the phone immediately when he called.

"Hello? Ling Zhenfei, is there news about Yuluo?"

Ling Zhenfei said, "Lin's Group's Manager Sun has already sent the money to the kidnappers, who knows what will happen."

Xiao Yaqing breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good. Spending money to avert disaster. Why do I feel like you're not too happy about it though?"

Ling Zhenfei said, "You all think the same way. It's fine if the kidnappers release people, but what if they don't?"

Xiao Yaqing paused for a moment and said, "No way, kidnappers these days surely won't be that dishonest. How could they receive the money and still not release people? But what if they really don't release her, then what?"

Ling Zhenfei said, "Then what else can I do? I'll personally go to this Moergawa and see if the kidnappers there have three heads, see if they're enough for me to have a barbecue."

Xiao Yaqing said, "You're going personally? But can you rescue her by going there? Forget it, it's pointless to say anything more. Now that the money's been sent, let's just hope those kidnappers stick to their word."

Ling Zhenfei said, "That's all we can do."

After chatting for a while, they ended the call. Soon, another call came in, and when Ling Zhenfei looked, it was from Manager Sun.

Ling Zhenfei picked up the call, and Manager Sun's anxious voice came through.

"It's not good, Mr. Ling. The kidnappers there changed their tune again."

Ling Zhenfei was startled, knowing something was going to happen, but didn't expect it to happen so quickly.

"How have they changed? Tell me."

President Sun's voice was also filled with anger, "After I sent the money over, they said they want US Dollars. I said, wasn't it agreed in RMB before? How did it become dollars now?

They said it is US Dollars, and if we don't pay, they'll kill the person and ask us to transfer the money immediately."

Ling Zhenfei knew it; the kidnappers had seen that the money was given too easily, so they thought there would be no problem asking for tens of millions more.

"So, President Sun, do you have any good ideas now?" Ling Zhenfei asked.

President Sun said, "Mr. Ling, don't tease me. If I had any ideas, why would I contact you? I regret not listening to you earlier."

Ling Zhenfei said, "I won't waste words with you. Here's what I suggest: you stall the robbers, try to find out where they are on that island specifically."

President Sun said, "I have already located Mr. Ling's phone. I'll send you the exact position."

Ling Zhenfei was surprised; as long as there was an exact address, it would be okay. As long as he could go, he could find this place.

Ling Zhenfei thought for a moment and said, "Here's what you do: tell the robbers you need to raise money. We definitely intend to save her. If the robbers push too hard, offer them a few hundred thousand or one million to stall them. The main objective is not to let Yuluo get hurt.

I will get to Moergawa as quickly as possible. Once I'm there, I can find the place according to the map and then rescue Yuluo."

President Sun said, "Okay, how long do I need to stall them for?"

Ling Zhenfei said, "Now, it's the New Year, and Moergawa is not an easy place to get to. I don't know how long until I arrive; just try to stall them as much as you can. I'll notify you immediately when I can."

"Alright, Mr. Ling, it's all up to you. Don't take what I said before to heart. This is my first time handling such a situation, and I don't have much experience."

Ling Zhenfei said, "No need to say such things. Rescuing Yuluo this time requires good coordination from us."

"I will definitely cooperate well with you."

After they reached an agreement, they hung up the phone. Su Yuwei had been accompanying Ling Zhenfei not far away.

Ling Zhenfei looked at Su Yuwei and said, "Can you take me to the airport now?"

Su Yuwei pondered for a moment and said, "There are no flights at this time. How about you wait a bit, and I'll get an application for you." After speaking, Su Yuwei left, and who knows what application she'll make.
