Cao Wen glanced at Su Lai and nodded, "I know about Master Su's situation, but the boss specifically instructed not to disturb her for any reason."
"If that's the case, then we'll return the money to you, and you can have the person who cast the 'Jue Ming Suo' on Su Lai come and remove it."
Yu Daohen had wanted to see who the boss behind the scenes was, but it seemed he would have to wait for another time.
Cao Wen shook his head helplessly, "Master Yu, I'm afraid I cannot do that."
Upon hearing this, Yu Daohen's expression turned grim, "Master Cao, what do you mean? It's not like we don't have the money to repay."
Cao Wen shook his head and explained, "Only the boss can command the person who cast the 'Jue Ming Suo'; we have no such authority."
"Oh, so Master Cao means we have to wait here indefinitely?" Yu Daohen's face was stern, ready to act at any moment.
Although Cao Wen knew Yu Daohen's temper was not to be trifled with, he could only nod helplessly, "While I don't wish to offend you both, we can only ask you to wait here indefinitely."
"If I smash this place up, will your boss come out to see me?" Yu Daohen's lips curled up as he clenched his fist, preparing to strike.
"I think she probably would, but I advise Master Yu not to try it lightly, as it might cost you your life," Cao Wen also clenched his fist, meeting Yu Daohen's gaze.
"Are you threatening me?" Yu Daohen's eyes flickered with killing intent as he stared intently at Cao Wen.
Cao Wen's eyes also gleamed with killing intent as he stared back at Yu Daohen, "You can think of it that way!"
Su Lai, standing beside him, signaled Yu Daohen not to act rashly, but he ignored her.
Just as the tension reached its peak, a woman in a hip-hugging skirt descended from the fourth floor and whispered a few words into Cao Wen's ear.
Upon hearing this, Cao Wen retracted his killing intent and looked at Yu Daohen, smiling, "Master Yu, our boss invites you."
Hearing this, Yu Daohen slowly loosened his clenched fist and followed the woman towards the fourth floor.
On the stairs, Yu Daohen let out a long sigh, thankful he hadn't made a move.
He could feel four pairs of eyes constantly watching him, their strength at least on par with those on the Heaven Ranking.
This Tian Xuan Entertainment was indeed deeper than it appeared.
They reached the fourth floor, passed through the lobby, and arrived at the room door at the end of the corridor.
The guiding woman looked at the two of them with a smile, "Gentlemen, the boss is waiting for you inside."
Yu Daohen nodded, hesitated for a moment, then pushed the door open and walked in.
Behind the office desk, a tall woman in a professional uniform smiled as she saw them enter, "Please, have a seat."
Yu Daohen and Su Lai sat down, and the woman introduced herself, "My name is Liu Jiawen, and I am the boss behind Tian Xuan Entertainment."
Upon hearing this, Yu Daohen examined her closely, his brow furrowing slightly before quickly returning to normal.
An ordinary person!
Yu Daohen was somewhat surprised that the boss behind Tian Xuan Entertainment was an ordinary person.
Su Lai beside him had the same thought.
But he had to admit, the woman was indeed quite stunning!
Liu Jiawen cut to the chase without further ado, "You two are here to return the money, aren't you?"
Su Lai beside her nodded and began to tally the accounts, "I have already returned one million two hundred and eighty-three thousand two hundred and seventy-two yuan, and there is still a balance..."
Liu Jiawen on the opposite side felt a headache coming on and raised her hand to interrupt, "You owe me ninety-eight million. I don't want the rest."
Yu Daohen beside her was also somewhat speechless. Only he would be losing money like this. At the same time, he was surprised that Liu Jiawen was indeed wealthy and influential, discarding eighty thousand yuan as if it were nothing.
Liu Jiawen continued, "Since you two are here to repay the money, will it be via WeChat or Alipay? Cash or card is also fine."
The two exchanged a glance. Yu Daohen took the Ghost Tear from his pocket and placed it on the table, "I'd like to use this to settle the debt."
Liu Jiawen looked at the Ghost Tear on the table, her brow furrowing slightly, "Completely transparent, emitting a cold aura, shaped like a teardrop. Could this be the Ghost Tear?"
"That's right, this is the Ghost Tear," Yu Daohen said with a faint smile, inwardly heaving a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, this woman had some discernment; otherwise, it would have been awkward if she had mistaken it for ordinary glass shards.
Yu Daohen spoke, "I presume you know the value of this Ghost Tear."
Liu Jiawen picked up the Ghost Tear and examined it closely.
Truthfully, this was her first time seeing the legendary Ghost Tear.
"The market value of this Ghost Tear is at least one hundred million," Liu Jiawen stated calmly.
Yu Daohen nodded, "Can this settle Su Lai's ninety-eight million debt?"
This Ghost Tear, sold to anyone, would fetch at least a hundred million. This meant she could still earn an extra million or two.
Liu Jiawen shook her head and placed the Ghost Tear back on the table, "This Ghost Tear is indeed worth one hundred million, but it's not that easy to sell. I am a businesswoman, and I only care about money."
Yu Daohen's brow furrowed. This was also what he had been worried about.
Liu Jiawen was right; although this item was worth at least one hundred million, it wouldn't be sold in a short period.
After all, not everyone could casually produce one hundred million to buy a Ghost Tear whose use was still unknown.
However, once the news was released, someone would definitely come knocking to buy it.
But Su Lai's 'Jue Ming Suo' was running out of time. Even if it were eventually sold, Su Lai would likely have already reported to the underworld.
"With Tian Xuan Entertainment's strength and connections, selling this Ghost Tear should be an easy task. Madam Liu, do you perhaps have something you need help with?" Yu Daohen inquired.
A businesswoman would never pass up an opportunity to earn every penny. This item, once sold, was a sure profit. He couldn't believe she would let go of this chance to make money.
Liu Jiawen smiled, "Master Yu guesses correctly. I do have something I need your help with."
Upon hearing this, Su Lai picked up the Ghost Tear from the table and prepared to leave, "Master Yu, let's go. It's not like we can't sell this Ghost Tear ourselves."
Yu Daohen grabbed Su Lai, who was about to stand up, "Anyone can sell this thing, but the time on your 'Jue Ming Suo' is running out. We cannot gamble."
Su Lai understood the logic, but the humiliation was unbearable. However, seeing Yu Daohen's determined gaze, she could only place the Ghost Tear back.
Liu Jiawen saw this and continued, "Have you two considered it?"
Yu Daohen pondered for a moment and could only nod helplessly, "Go ahead, Madam Liu. What is it you need me to do?"
When one is under another's roof, one must bow their head. This matter concerned Su Lai's life, and he dared not gamble, nor could he afford to.
Seeing that the two had agreed, Liu Jiawen said, "I need Master Yu to help me collect a debt."
"Collect a debt?"
Yu Daohen was a little confused, "Even with so many experts on the Heaven Ranking in Tian Xuan Entertainment unable to collect this debt, Madam Liu, aren't you thinking too highly of me, Yu Daohen?"
Liu Jiawen shook her head, a knowing smile on her face, "No, this debt is not difficult to collect. It's just inconvenient for me to act."
