“What watch?”

Wu Jie asked knowingly.

Xu Feng bellowed, “The one I spent two million to ransom not long ago!

Have you touched it?”

Wu Jie retorted angrily, “Damn!

How long ago was that?”

“Your father and you watched the video call closely and confirmed there was no problem!”

“I delivered the person to you in good condition; why didn’t you say anything was wrong that day?”

“Your man returned to Liuli City that same day, and after so many days, now you’re telling me the watch is broken!”

“What do you mean?

Are you trying to scam me, wanting me to pay for the watch’s repairs?

Or do you want me to refund you two million?”

“Asking me if I’ve touched it, why the hell don’t you ask your subordinates if they dropped it or got it wet on the way?”

“Besides, what if you broke it yourself?”

…

As soon as Wu Jie opened his mouth, he launched a rapid-fire counterattack.

His volley of retorts left Xu Feng unable to get a word in.

It wasn’t until Wu Jie had finished his tirade that Xu Feng, visibly irritated, said:

“I’m not blaming you for damaging the watch.

It still ticks, but something hidden inside the strap must have been tampered with!”

“The strap?”

Wu Jie asked back angrily:

“It was intact when I gave it back to you.

Didn’t you check it after you got the watch?”

“Besides, with the strap stitched up so perfectly, what the hell could be hidden inside?”

Xu Feng sighed heavily and said, “Alright, forget it!”

He hung up the phone, speechless, and shook his head at his father, who had been gesturing to him just a moment before.

Xu Kuishan looked at the strap lying in front of him, his mind buzzing with confusion.

Refusing to give in to disbelief, he tried to log in again but was still informed that the account did not exist.

How was that possible?

“Dad!

This is too strange, isn’t it?”

Xu Feng sat down and examined the watch carefully.

“After you got the watch back, did you check it thoroughly?”

“Of course!

I did look, and indeed it hadn’t been tampered with, that’s why I’ve been carrying it with confidence!”

Xu Kuishan’s eyebrows knit together, “If Wu Jie hadn’t touched it, and neither had the men escorting the watch, then what about the account?

How the hell does it not exist?”

Xu Feng said irritably, “There’s something fishy going on!

I don’t believe that someone has a special ability like x-ray vision and can see the tape inside without opening the strap.”

“Besides, Grandpa left an anonymous account and password, something I didn’t even know about.

If you hadn’t told me, I wouldn’t have known there was something hidden in the strap!”

“On the contrary, I think it’s more likely that Grandpa, being old, got the account number or password wrong.

Otherwise, it’s been so long, perhaps the bank embezzled it!”

Xu Kuishan shook his head, “It’s impossible for the bank to embezzle it.

Many people worldwide have set up anonymous accounts to hide illicit money.

If there were issues, who would deposit their money there?”

“Then why does the account not exist?” Xu Feng said, cursing under his breath, “Could it be that Grandpa never actually deposited the two hundred million Gold Coins and just made up a fake account to deceive us?”

“That doesn’t seem likely either!

Grandpa doted on you so much, how could he leave a fake account?”

Xu Kuishan was still puzzled.

Xu Feng complained, “So what do we do now?

Grandpa’s been gone so long, his grave is overgrown with grass.

This is like having no proof of death!”

“If the password were incorrect, we could still go to the bank, but since the account doesn’t even exist, trying the bank is definitely a waste of time!”

Xu Kuishan stood up and paced back and forth.

“Dad!

Without these two hundred million Gold Coins, couldn’t our family still live well?”

“Since the account doesn’t exist, let’s just forget about it.

Right now, the urgent matter is to deal with Mu En!”

“Auntie and my sisters are still in his hands!”

Xu Kuishan stopped in his tracks and said gravely:

“First, transfer fifty million Gold Coins to secure the release of one hostage, stabilize his mood, and then hurry to find his hiding place!”

Xu Feng lamented, “That’s all we can do for now, but was the medicine really swapped by Mu En with poison?

I have a feeling he’s just trying to scare me.

My medicine was collected from the hospital by a special envoy; there’s no way it was switched!”

“That’s easy to figure out, just get a woman to test it!”

Xu Kuishan replied bluntly.

Xu Feng was astonished, “Who has the mood for that now?

We should focus on catching Mu En first!”

As he spoke, Xu Feng contacted his subordinates again.

“Where is he now?

What the heck?

He’s actually taking the subway?

With all the people there, make sure they keep a close eye on him!”

Xu Kuishan couldn’t be bothered to say much more and went out to discuss with the other three brothers.

At the moment, the most important things were to raise money and find people.

…

Meanwhile.

Wu Jie was busy replying to messages after Tang Xiao came out of the shower.

She wore an overly conservative nightgown, tightly covered up.

“Tang Xin wants to video chat with you, and remember the anonymous account I gave you before?”

Tang Xiao picked up her phone and lay on the bed, replying casually, “Didn’t you say that account belonged to the weird old man?

The man’s dead, and there was no money in it, so I had it canceled!”

Canceled?

Wu Jie was suddenly overjoyed.

Indeed, she was an ‘assist God’ level teammate!

Once an anonymous account is canceled, it’s very difficult to retrieve it.

“Amazing!

I was just thinking about asking for your help to cancel it, and here you’ve already done it for me!”

Tang Xiao curled her lips and said, “To set up an anonymous account, that old man of yours must not have been any good.

Since he’s dead, it’s better to cancel it early to avoid others digging up old accounts and tracing it back to you!”

As they were talking, Tang Xiao’s video call with Tang Xin went through.

“Sis!

Did you turn on the beauty filter for the camera?

How come I look so smooth and delicate?”

Tang Xiao said in annoyance, “Beauty filter?

I’m just really tired.

Spit it out if you’ve got something to say!”

Tang Xin laughed and said, “Actually, it’s nothing.

I was just watching the stream and noticed you’ve suddenly become so fair and delicate, not like it’s a TV broadcast with added filters, I thought you’d gone for some medical beauty treatments these days!”

Tang Xiao asked back, “What’s ‘medical beauty’?”

Tang Xin explained, “You know, like getting hydration injections, photorejuvenation, laser acne and scar removal, ultrasonic facelifts, and so on.

Of course, the most commonly understood is getting hyaluronic acid injections!”

“You must have done them, otherwise how could you suddenly become so fair and delicate?

You look better than many female stars, so just admit it!”

“A woman dresses for the one she loves!

You want to look prettier to make Jie totally devoted to you, right?

Oh, where is Jie now?

He mentioned earlier you were taking a bath.

There’s no one else around, and you’re actually staying in a room together?

What’s up with that?”

Tang Xiao retorted disdainfully, “I’ve stuffed myself so full that I need medical beauty treatments?

It was just makeup done by a pro.

Also, we’re staying in a suite, I sleep in the bedroom, and he sleeps on the living room sofa, what’s so strange about that?”

“I see!

So, when will you two be back?

My birthday is next week, you didn’t forget, did you?”

“We’re flying back tomorrow night.

You just want a gift, don’t you?

Spit it out, what do you want?”

Tang Xin whispered excitedly, “Is Jie near you?”

Tang Xiao glanced at Wu Jie, who was engrossed in his phone, but she shook her head,

“He’s not around, hurry up and tell me what you want!”

Tang Xin smiled, “I don’t want anything, I just want acupuncture.

If I ask him directly, he definitely won’t agree, he was so reluctant last time, so could you help me talk to him about it?”

Tang Xiao was flabbergasted, “Damn!

Your birthday gift is to get stuck with needles?

Are you frickin’ insane?”

Tang Xin laughed, “Yeah, other than Jie’s Acupuncture Skill, I’m beyond help.

Come on, sis, please talk to him for me!”

“Alright, I’ll try; I’ll let you know tomorrow!” Tang Xiao replied impatiently.

“Thanks, sis!

Mwah!”

Tang Xiao immediately hung up the video call and threw a pillow at Wu Jie.

“Out of all people, you had to mess with that annoying little sprite!”

“Great, she’s totally addicted now.

You’ve caused the mess, so you better deal with it!”

Wu Jie turned and gave her an innocent look.

“I’m curing people and saving lives!

Treating dysmenorrhea to ease the pain, how could I know this crazy girl would get addicted to acupuncture!”

Grinding her teeth, Tang Xiao said, “I don’t believe it’s incurable!

Did you bring the silver needles and iodine?

Come on, let me get a few jabs.

I believe as long as one is willing to endure, it’s impossible to get addicted!”

Wu Jie immediately stood up, a smile playing at the corner of his mouth, and a mischievous look in his eyes:

“I’ve got all the stuff with me.

Are you sure you want acupuncture with silver needles even though you’re not sick?”
