"Grandpa!"
Liu Shishi was brought into the villa's main hall by Ah Bao and his men. The first thing she saw was Liu Zheng Nan sitting there.
She shouted his name and rushed towards where Liu Zheng Nan was seated.
Someone had intended to stop her, but Ah Bao waved his hand and prevented them.
"Shishi?"
Liu Zheng Nan looked up when he heard the call. He saw Liu Shishi rushing towards him and immediately stood up from his chair.
However, Liu Shishi stopped when she reached him and asked, "Grandpa, are you alright?"
Liu Zheng Nan sighed inwardly. In the past, Liu Shishi would have undoubtedly rushed into his arms, tears welling up in her eyes.
But now, looking at Liu Shishi standing so close, Liu Zheng Nan felt he had hurt her too many times.
"Grandpa is fine. My dear granddaughter, why did you rush back? Didn't Grandpa tell you on the phone that you just needed to collect the money and have someone send it back?"
Liu Zheng Nan reached out and stroked Liu Shishi's head.
Then, Liu Zheng Nan said to Ah Bao, "I've already contacted my old friend, and he'll transfer the money directly to my account shortly. As for the remaining five million, my granddaughter needs to collect it from the bank herself."
"Haha, Old Master Liu is indeed straightforward. Very well, I'll send someone with your granddaughter to the bank now. Don't worry, I, Ah Bao, keep my word. As soon as I receive the money, I'll return to Haojiang immediately. However, you'll have to bear with us for a little longer."
After speaking, Ah Bao instructed one of his subordinates to accompany Liu Shishi to collect the money.
Liu Zheng Nan wanted to object, but upon seeing Ah Bao's gaze, he ultimately held back.
However, before she left, he pulled Liu Shishi closer.
"Shishi, Grandpa was wrong about the past. From now on, you should live your own life as you wish."
Seeing Liu Zheng Nan's sorrowful expression, Liu Shishi couldn't help but try to comfort him.
Meanwhile, Ah Bao urged Liu Shishi to hurry to the bank to collect the money.
As the saying goes, delay breeds trouble.
Since the money could be obtained quickly now, Ah Bao didn't want to drag things out and invite any unnecessary complications.
...
Although Liu Shishi said not to worry, Du Fei still drove towards the Liu family's residence.
However, he didn't intend to go inside. He would just wait for her at the entrance.
This would be a small surprise for her.
But just as Du Fei rounded the corner, he suddenly saw Liu Shishi coming out of the Liu family villa. A flashy-looking man was following behind her.
Seeing Liu Shishi walking slowly, the man even stepped forward and pushed her, almost causing her to fall.
Upon seeing this, Du Fei quickly stepped on the accelerator and drove over.
"Bitch, don't think your boss fancies you and be so slow. If you annoy this grandpa..."
"What the hell! How are you driving?"
The man who was pointing at Liu Shishi suddenly saw a car speeding towards him. He instinctively dodged and then cursed loudly.
Screech!
His words had barely finished when the car stopped right beside him.
Immediately after, Du Fei got out of the car.
"Du Fei!"
As soon as she saw the car, Liu Shishi felt it was familiar. Now, seeing it was indeed Du Fei, she couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
When the man saw that Liu Shishi recognized Du Fei, he immediately tried to grab her.
But Du Fei was faster. He quickly stepped forward and lifted the man as easily as picking up a chicken.
"Shishi, who is this guy? Why did he push you just now?"
Du Fei pointed at the man in his hands.
So, Liu Shishi explained that her grandfather was being illegally held in the Liu family villa, and the kidnappers had sent someone with her to the bank to collect the money.
As for why a group of people were at the Liu family's residence, Liu Shishi didn't know.
"Du Fei, maybe we should call the police..."
"It's okay, leave it to me."
Du Fei heard that this person was actually a kidnapper. He slightly squeezed the man's thumb, pressed a meridian point on his neck, and the man immediately fainted.
Following that, Du Fei had Liu Shishi hide in the car and lock the doors.
No matter what happened later, if he didn't appear, she was not to open the door.
Liu Shishi was worried about Du Fei's safety. However, Du Fei casually picked up a stone from the ground.
With a slight exertion of his palm, the stone turned to dust.
"See? Your boyfriend is very capable. Are those kidnappers harder than a rock? Just relax and wait in the car."
Du Fei proved his strength to Liu Shishi with practical action.
Indeed, seeing Du Fei crush the stone to dust with a single effort, Liu Shishi was completely stunned.
Following that, she obediently hid in the bulletproof Mercedes-Benz RV as Du Fei instructed and locked the doors.
As for Du Fei, he walked towards the Liu family villa.
Meanwhile, in another villa.
Liu Yuan Hao anxiously questioned Liu Zheng Nan about what he had just said to Liu Shishi.
Liu Zheng Nan glanced at him and said, "What does it have to do with you what I said?"
"Dad! At a time like this, if that girl doesn't bring back the money smoothly, Ah Bao will kill us..."
"Let him kill me if he wants. I've lived long enough at my age. As for you, you're useless even if you stay alive!"
Liu Zheng Nan grew more and more infuriated with Liu Yuan Hao.
If it weren't for Liu Yuan Hao, he wouldn't have had a falling out with Liu Shishi.
If it weren't for Liu Yuan Hao, the Liu Group wouldn't have fallen to where it is today.
But ultimately, he himself bore a large part of the responsibility and couldn't push all the blame onto Liu Yuan Hao.
Now, Liu Zheng Nan had come to terms with it. He sold the villa and had Liu Shishi withdraw the money from the bank.
In a couple of days, he would declare the Liu Group bankrupt and live the rest of his days as an ordinary old man, leaving his fate to heaven.
"Stop! Who are you!"
Just then, a voice shouted from the entrance.
Following that, Liu Zheng Nan and Liu Yuan Hao heard a commotion outside, as if something had happened.
"Er Zi, go out and see what's happening."
Ah Bao's eyes narrowed. Had the woman who just left reported them to the police?
But that shouldn't be the case. With his men watching her, she wouldn't have had the chance.
But regardless, they had to remain vigilant.
So, while he gave orders to his subordinates, he also had Liu Zheng Nan and Liu Yuan Hao gathered together, and he and a few of his men drew their guns.
No wonder Ah Bao had seemed so fearless earlier; this was his backup.
Seeing Ah Bao pull out his gun, Liu Yuan Hao was so scared he didn't dare to breathe.
"Who are you?"
Just as Ah Bao and his men were preparing to deal with the situation, a young man slowly walked in from the doorway.
Ah Bao raised his gun, ready to fire.
"Du Fei? How is it you?"
Liu Yuan Hao, standing nearby, exclaimed in surprise when he saw the person walking in.
Not only him, but Liu Zheng Nan, standing beside him, also wore an expression of utter shock.
