Bart is a big shot, the other party must first digest how true Xiao Yebai’s words are. Maybe they’ll go ask Nala again. If Nala is smart enough, she can bluff these people by saying she doesn’t know. Sure enough, it wasn’t long before the voice came back, somewhat bizarrely, "You say you know Bart? Who doesn’t know Bart? He’s become a character in a bestselling book. You can just read the book and find out."

"It’s not up to me whether I’m known or not, isn’t it better for you to ask Bart? Besides, how could I easily tell outsiders that I know Bart? Isn’t that asking for trouble and a visit to the police station?"

"If that’s the case, why did you tell me you know Bart?"

"Because Nala is in your hands, I don’t want my partner to die just like that. If she dies, I’ll become a police suspect. Although I didn’t kill Nala, I don’t want the police investigating me, it would cause too much trouble for my business."

"Oh—" The other party seemed to begin thinking Yebai’s words made sense, but still didn’t mention Nala, only saying, "You say you do business with Bart, what kind of business?"

"Bart now says he’s old and can’t fight anymore, he wants to make some investment to get retirement money. I happen to be good at that."

"You can do investments?"

"Yes."

"Is Bart satisfied?"

"Of course he’s satisfied, the investment opportunity I offered him doubled its return in less than three days."

After a pause, the other party said, "What’s your opinion on today’s futures trading market movements?"

"As for grains, there’s something unusual that anyone with sharp eyes can see, someone manipulated it."

"It was manipulated, wasn’t it!" The other party repeated Xiao Yebai’s words, sounding gritted, like the tone of hating an enemy to the core.

On Xiao Yebai’s side, everyone held their breath and waited, seeing the secret to breaking through was about to be revealed.

The other party snorted. "What ingenious trick do you have to crack this?"

"As we Chinese say, fighting fire with fire. Treat them the way they treated you."

"You speak lightly, he wiped out all my funds! I want to kill his whole family!"

"No need to be so angry. The money is gone, you can borrow and continue trading. I see there’s an opportunity right now, in less than two days, I can help you earn it all back."

Clearly, the other party was tempted by Yebai’s words about earning a fortune and said, "Where are you? I’ll send someone to pick you up. Also, don’t play tricks, you should know her life is in our hands."

The call ended there.

Once again, tension filled the room.

Wei Changqing jumped up first, saying, "You can’t go alone, I’ll go with you. Xiaojiu stays here."

Zang Xiaolian definitely wouldn’t oppose staying here himself, only asked, "If you go, what guarantees are there?"

Wei Changqing said, "If we go, there will definitely be guarantees. I’ll call my people over. We need some special equipment now."

Xiao Yebai waved him off, "What you bring now, if they find it, won’t they immediately question our identities?"

Now, they could only be certain that Nala was in the other party’s hands, as for the little guy Mingli, is he with them?

The little girl with Mingli?

Thinking of this, Nala’s assistant started crying first, saying to Xiao Yebai, "Sir, you can’t give up on Nala—"
