Qin Lan thought for a moment and said: "Okay, in that case, you send me the phone by mail. Once I confirm there are no backups or leaks, I'll return Jiang Hui to you."

Ling Zhenfei said: "No way, that's too slow. I need Jiang Hui back tonight."

Qin Lan said: "Alright, in that case, come to the construction site at Lotus Community. I'll be waiting for you there."

"Okay, wait for me, I'll head over right away."

After hanging up the phone, Ling Zhenfei went downstairs directly, asked for the general location of Lotus Community, and then ran in that direction.

He found out that the distance from the hotel to that community was very close. Soon, Ling Zhenfei arrived at the construction site of Lotus Community.

This was a large construction site, temporarily stopped due to cold weather. The entire community had only two elderly men on duty, guarding the things inside.

When Ling Zhenfei arrived, the gate was already open, and one could vaguely see tire tracks leading into the site.

The small house at the entrance of the site still had lights on, and the old man on duty inside had already been knocked out.

Ling Zhenfei knew that tonight would definitely be a tough battle, and he absolutely wouldn't let Qin Lan go.

Ling Zhenfei was very confident in his current strength. No matter who the opponent was, what power they had, even if there were people on the other side with Level Five of Zhiyi or even higher, Ling Zhenfei was not afraid.

Now, anyone below Level Seven of the Zhiyi state was no match for Ling Zhenfei, because his Heaven-Splitting Ten Fists were extremely powerful, with the strength of each punch exponentially increasing.

No one with similar strength could withstand his four punches under the Heaven-Splitting Ten Fists, but of course, if faced with a higher-level expert, that would be different.

However, experts in the Zhiyi state were already few, and beyond Zhiyi is the Dawen Realm, the people in this realm were even scarcer. Ling Zhenfei would soon be able to defeat those in the Dawen Realm, becoming even more formidable.

Following the tire tracks, Ling Zhenfei quickly found where the cars were parked. It was a very spacious place, and three cars were parked there at the moment.

A group of people was standing in front of the cars, seemingly at least a dozen. Even before approaching, Ling Zhenfei could feel the presence of several cultivators among them.

Such people who could silently abduct Jiang Hui from a room were definitely cultivators.

Ling Zhenfei's eyesight was excellent, and despite the pitch-black surroundings, he could still make out everyone's face.

Qin Lan stood at the front with a smile, looking very arrogant. She felt her plan had succeeded, and she even thought of herself as a genius. What seemed like a dead end had unexpectedly been resolved so quickly.

Upon seeing Ling Zhenfei approaching, the headlights of the cars switched on simultaneously, bringing light to the dim place.

All these cars had been modified, and one of them had a row of lights that became very bright when turned on, with headlights all directed at Ling Zhenfei.

If it were anyone else, it would be impossible to keep their eyes open, but Ling Zhenfei was no ordinary person.

He stood right in front of Qin Lan and asked, "Where is Jiang Hui?"

Qin Lan snapped her fingers behind her, and then a person opened a car door, pulled Jiang Hui's hair, and dragged her out.

Jiang Hui's mouth was taped shut, unable to speak, but Ling Zhenfei could tell it was undoubtedly her.

Seeing Jiang Hui, Ling Zhenfei was finally relieved. As long as she was alright, everything else would be manageable.

After just a glance, Jiang Hui was dragged back inside and locked in the car again.

"Alright, Boss Ling, since you've seen her now, did you bring my stuff?"

"If I give you the stuff, you'll release her, right?" Ling Zhenfei asked.

Qin Lan answered with a smile: "Of course, keeping such a beautiful woman serves me no purpose, right?"

Ling Zhenfei held the phone in his hand and asked: "What about the other conditions?"

"What conditions?" Qin Lan asked.

Ling Zhenfei said: "The eight hundred million you mentioned before."

Qin Lan laughed and said: "Sorry, Boss Ling, I mentioned eight hundred million earlier, but you refused. Now I don't want to offer eight hundred million. I wonder if you agree with that."

Ling Zhenfei's heart stirred, this Qin Lan was indeed shameless, now unwilling to give a penny, she had taken advantage of his weakness.

With Jiang Hui in her hands, Ling Zhenfei felt constrained, not daring to say much.

But Ling Zhenfei's anger burned within him, determined not to let Qin Lan go, no matter what method he used.

Ling Zhenfei's lips curled into a smile as he said to Qin Lan: "Good, not bad, Qin Lan, President Qin, you're really something, saving yourself eight hundred million in an hour, not bad."

Qin Lan laughed heartily and said: "I just enjoy doing business, and you're not bad yourself, the deal shouldn't make you suffer."

Ling Zhenfei nodded: "Fair enough, let me be honest with you, Qin Lan, I'm not one to suffer losses. Now that things have come to this, you can imagine the future."

Qin Lan paused and said: "Are you threatening me?"

"I don't dare threaten you, but we should leave some room for future meetings. I just hope, once I hand you the phone, you'll really release Jiang Hui safely."

Qin Lan chuckled: "Of course, all I want is this thing, you give it to me, and I'll release her."

Ling Zhenfei thought for a moment, then tossed the phone to Qin Lan.

Qin Lan carefully checked the phone, looked at the video on it, and nodded satisfactorily: "Not bad, really not bad, well, you can go now."

"What about Jiang Hui?" Ling Zhenfei asked.

Qin Lan laughed and said: "Go back first, later I'll naturally release Jiang Hui."

Ling Zhenfei hesitated: "Why can't Jiang Hui leave with me now?"

"Of course, she can't leave with you now. I need to ensure my safety. If I give Jiang Hui to you now, what if you attack us?"

Listening to this, Ling Zhenfei's anger was beyond words: "Qin Lan, I never imagined you were so shameless."

Qin Lan laughed: "When you were using the data on this phone to threaten me, did you ever consider the word shameless?"

Ling Zhenfei's fury was beyond words. He wished he could tear Qin Lan apart, but with Jiang Hui in her hands, he dared not act rashly.

Ling Zhenfei's eyes could see very clearly; through the car, he saw there was another person behind Jiang Hui holding a knife pressed against her.

Ling Zhenfei knew this was something Qin Lan had arranged in advance. If Ling Zhenfei made any major moves, Jiang Hui would suffer.

Ling Zhenfei said to Qin Lan: "President Qin, I think we need to talk."

Qin Lan paused: "Do you think there's anything left to talk about? Your beloved woman is in my hands, and the data is already with me. What do you have left to negotiate with?"
