The acupoint sealing was no trivial matter, causing some harm to the person. Senlang grunted, his face turning pale.
At the same time, Yuehai wanted to transfer the money to the other party. However, when he tried to scan, he found that large amounts required a top-tier membership for private transfers. With his account, he would have to go to the bank for such an operation.
He was stunned. This was their first time dealing with such a situation, and they had no experience, making the atmosphere a bit awkward.
Fortunately, Tianxing, being more experienced, stepped in to ease the tension. "How about this, I'll have Sister Tianmei transfer the money to him first, and you can pay Sister Tianmei back later?"
Yuehai thought about it and realized it was the only way.
Otherwise, where could he find a bank counter open in the middle of the night, and he also didn't have enough time. There were no banks of this kind nearby.
Tianmei was also very accommodating. As soon as Tianxing made a call, the money was successfully transferred to Dahou within five minutes.
Next was the exchange of hostages.
Both sides were relatively honest on this point. After Yuehai received Senbao, he immediately asked Dixing to take him to the hospital. At the same time, Dahou walked out of Meicheng under the watchful eyes of a few people.
"You'd better not try any tricks, or I can guarantee you won't leave Shangjing alive!"
Yuehai issued a warning. Dahou, however, seemed unfazed, offering only a faint smile.
"I will definitely release the person. Don't talk about tricks. If I find out anyone is secretly following, you know the consequences."
Yuehai clenched his fists tightly. He desperately wanted to punch the man in front of him, but with the hostage in his hand, he dared not act rashly.
Dahou left with Senbao, leaving Yuehai with a grim expression. Chen Peiyue beside him also sighed deeply.
This mission could be considered a complete failure. Not only did they fail to catch the suspect, but they also lost ten million. Now, even Senlang had been taken away, his fate uncertain.
And all of this was primarily due to their lack of experience.
For a moment, both of them felt a great sense of defeat. If their first mission was like this, how could they proceed in the future?
Moreover, Li Chonglou had also arrived. These two hadn't figured out how to explain things to Li Chonglou yet.
However, Black Saber arrived before Li Chonglou. After learning the whole story, Black Saber also sighed deeply.
"This is my fault. I'm the team leader, so I'll explain it to Brother Li."
His words were filled with self-reproach. Compared to Yuehai, Black Saber felt even more stifled.
As the leader of the team, he not only failed to help but also made a major mistake in command. Moreover, the incident was caused by him.
If he hadn't meddled at that time and had only focused on his own mission, things might not have escalated to this point!
Thinking of this, Black Saber's mood became dejected.
About twenty minutes later, the anxious individuals did not wait for Senlang to return, but for Li Chonglou.
"What's the situation now?"
As soon as he got out of the car, Li Chonglou noticed the absence of the Senlang brothers and his expression immediately turned grim.
When he learned the entire story from Black Saber, he couldn't help but pat his shoulder.
"Gaining experience is what matters, don't overthink it. I'll bring the person back."
After speaking, he looked towards Tianxing.
Although the other party did not exude any aura, Li Chonglou immediately recognized his extraordinary nature.
"Hello, friend. Thank you for your help this time."
Li Chonglou cupped his fists in a respectful salute. The other party's gaze had been fixed on him.
To have several masters willingly follow someone, Shuangxing had initially thought it was an old senior from the martial world, but unexpectedly, it was a man even younger than himself.
Moreover, Li Chonglou seemed to possess no internal energy whatsoever.
There was truly none. Even the intuition of a master remained unresponsive! This was something that happened even with the strongest people, no matter how powerful their techniques, as long as they were being watched, masters would sense each other.
This was an instinct ingrained in their very bones.
But in Li Chonglou, he couldn't sense anything at all; he was a completely ordinary person!
However, seeing Li Chonglou's politeness, Tianxing returned the salute and said with a faint smile, "You don't need to thank me, it's all Sister Tianmei's wish."
Li Chonglou had also learned something about this Tianmei from Black Saber, knowing she was the true owner of the place.
"When I return, I will personally visit to express my gratitude."
Li Chonglou cupped his fists again, then inquired about the direction Dahou had left, and then left in Lao San's car.
After everyone had completely departed, Tianxing, with a hint of curiosity, asked Black Saber, "Isn't your leader involved in your circle?"
"Of course not. Brother Li is the strongest man I've ever met."
The one who answered him was Yuehai, and there was no trace of doubt in his voice. This made Tianxing even more puzzled.
However, as it involved the other party's privacy, he couldn't ask more and could only nod.
After Li Chonglou left in Lao San's car, he fused with Wen Yi and activated the Heavenly Eye Perspective Divine Ability.
Meicheng was located in a remote area. It was unlikely that the other party would venture into the deep mountains and old forests. After all, as someone wanted by the General Bureau, the most stable choice would be to temporarily leave Shangjing.
To leave, one naturally needed transportation, so Li Chonglou guessed the person would take the main roads.
The facts were as he had guessed. After leaving Meicheng, Dahou took Senlang into a taxi and headed straight for the airport.
Due to the acupoint sealing, Senlang couldn't resist, but he asked with a grim expression, "How long will it take?"
With an outsider present, Senlang couldn't speak too clearly. Dahou calmly replied, "Why are you in such a hurry? I'll let you go once I'm safely away."
The driver in front suddenly paused, looking instinctively into the rearview mirror, only to meet Dahou's gaze.
"If you don't want to die, don't pry."
The driver's expression changed drastically, and he quickly turned his head away.
"I don't know anything; I'm just driving."
His words were uncalled for. The moment he said them, Senlang clearly saw Dahou's expression change slightly.
This person was finished.
Senlang sighed inwardly. As an experienced individual, he knew exactly what Dahou meant. People like him were most sensitive to threats, whether intentional or unintentional.
As expected, five minutes later, as the car passed a small road, Dahou suddenly changed his mind and said, "Driver, please turn in here. I need to relieve myself."
"Ah, there's a shop a few kilometers ahead..."
"I told you to turn in!"
The driver's expression tensed, remembering Dahou's cold gaze from earlier.
