Having said that, Tan Shaojie's voice paused slightly, and a cunning smile played across his lips as he chillingly added, "One might even say that this is the key link in rescuing Master Kun Ze..."

What? Chi Hu being captured is actually the most critical link in rescuing Kun Ze Haosan?

Hearing Tan Shaojie's words, Du Kongting and Tan Shaojie's four top experts—Bao Xiong, Viper, Green Fox, and Spirit Ant—were all taken aback.

"Shaojie, do you mean..."

Seeing Tan Shaojie's confident demeanor, Du Kongting felt even more out of his depth with this young man of such profound schemes and intelligence.

He really couldn't believe that, besides Tan Shaojie's astonishing martial arts skills, his strategic cunning was equally unfathomable...

Such a formidable expert was fortunately on his side. If he were an opponent, Du Kongting couldn't help but shudder at the thought of his own predicament!

"The secrets of heaven cannot be revealed. Keep this matter confidential for now, and I will explain in detail when the time is right."

Tan Shaojie looked at Du Kongting indifferently, without immediately giving him an answer.

"Someone's coming!"

Just as his words fell, Spirit Ant, who was standing by the door, suddenly tensed up and warned everyone.

Although Spirit Ant was the weakest in terms of strength among Tan Shaojie's five subordinates, his senses, especially his hearing, were extraordinary. He could hear sounds that ordinary people could not.

At that moment, Spirit Ant could clearly hear someone walking towards Du Kongting's office at the end of the hallway.

"Withdraw!"

Upon receiving the news, Tan Shaojie didn't hesitate at all. After issuing the command to everyone, he was the first to leap out of the window.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

The sounds of robes fluttering in the wind passed by as Bao Xiong, Viper, Green Fox, and Spirit Ant swiftly followed suit, disappearing from Du Kongting's sight.

This...

Witnessing this astonishing scene, Du Kongting's eyes and mouth opened wide in disbelief.

The sudden appearance of Viper coming through the window had already left Du Kongting utterly amazed. But now, watching these individuals perform a collective escape through the window was simply dumbfounding.

Good heavens, just what kind of elusive and mysterious figures were these people? The thought that the headquarters had managed to enlist such individuals made him dare not harbor the slightest disloyal thought...

Thump! Thump! Thump!

As Du Kongting stood in front of the window, still unsettled by the sudden disappearance of Tan Shaojie and the others, a series of crisp knocks came from the door.

"Who... who is it?"

Already somewhat startled, the knocking sounds that suddenly arose were like thunderous tolls striking his heart, causing his face to go pale and sweat to break out, even making his voice tremble as he spoke.

"Kongting, it's me! Are you alright?" Outside the room, Lin Zhengnan's voice was clearly heard.

Ever since the last kidnapping incident, Lin Zhengnan had been haunted by shadows in his heart.

Although he was reluctant to believe that his good brother Du Kongting had betrayed him, Ling Zhenfei's reminder kept surfacing in his mind, forcing him to harbor suspicions against his old friend.

He had just finished inspecting a new project and was returning to the company when he wanted to discuss it with Du Kongting. However, he couldn't get through despite calling him repeatedly. When he asked Du Kongting's secretary to fetch him, the secretary hesitated and said that the vice president was meeting with a client.

Lin Zhengnan became suspicious and decided to go directly to Du Kongting's office.

"Brother Zhengnan, you're here, please come in!"

Seeing that it was Lin Zhengnan knocking on the door, Du Kongting did not dare to neglect him and hurriedly opened the door to welcome him. He quickly adjusted his facial expression and greeted Lin Zhengnan with a pretended smile.

"Eh, Kongting, didn't your secretary say you were meeting with a client? Where's the client?"

Lin Zhengnan had already been suspicious when he saw that Du Kongting's door was locked, and now that he saw no one else in the room besides Du Kongting, his eyebrows knitted even tighter.

"Oh, it was just some friends from the Jianghu who came to borrow money, I've already sent them away!"

Du Kongting knew that Lin Zhengnan was not easy to deal with, and after what happened last time, he must already be suspicious of him.

But Du Kongting was not an easy person himself, and though he was anxious, he did not show any flaws on the surface, remaining calm.

"Oh, I see!"

Although Lin Zhengnan did not believe what Du Kongting said, since he couldn't see any giveaway on the man's face, he simply smiled indifferently.

In the end, he said with a double meaning, "Kongting, we've been old brothers for many years, and there are some things I must advise you.

It's best to keep away from those friends from the Jianghu. They're all uncouth people who claim to value loyalty to the point of taking a blade for you, but in reality, when you're in danger, they can't wait to stab you in the back!"

Although Lin Zhengnan spoke lightly, the words thundered in Du Kongting's ears, shaking him deeply.

He was a sly and cunning man and could tell that since the incident last time, Lin Zhengnan had become deeply suspicious of him.

Even though he tried to cover it up afterward, even resorting to killing to silence others to stop Lin Zhengnan from finding any proof, he knew that someone as experienced as Lin Zhengnan wouldn't easily let go of their suspicion.

And Lin Zhengnan's words seemed to be a warning to him?

"Hmm, Brother Zhengnan, you're absolutely right. I've decided to have nothing to do with those Jianghu people."

Du Kongting was undoubtedly a natural actor, who, despite knowing the implications of Lin Zhengnan's words, pretended to be oblivious, nodded in agreement, and then asked, "Zhengnan, you seemed in a hurry to find me, is there something important you need me to do?"

"It's nothing major, just that the accounts of the Mingcheng Group, which we acquired last time, are a bit of a mess. If you're not too busy later on, you should go and check it out personally."

After observing him for a while and not finding any anomalies on his face, Lin Zhengnan handed him a document and turned to leave.

"Alright, Zhengnan, rest assured, I'll go check it out right away."

While Du Kongting continuously agreed, taking the document, the look in his eyes as he watched Lin Zhengnan walk away was filled with a fierce and wolf-like ruthlessness...

The first batch of vegetables had brought significant results at Fatty's, which made Ling Zhenfei ecstatic and even more confident about his agriculture and farming business.

Now that all the paperwork was done, after returning to the village, Ling Zhenfei took out various vegetable seeds that had been soaked in the Xuantian Holy Spring and had Li Ermeng distribute them to the farmworkers to plant in the newly cultivated land.

Although Nanshan Farm was still under intense construction, Li Ermeng and the farmworkers were enthusiastic, working with zeal and confidence in the future of the farm.

Just as Ling Zhenfei and the farmworkers were sowing the vegetable seeds in the plowed field, he saw that his sister-in-law, Zhou Yun, and He Lingxiu were helping a middle-aged man walk towards them.

With his Perspective Eye, Ling Zhenfei could see from afar that the middle-aged man was none other than He Lingxiu's father, He Laogen.
