?


    Xia Zhe had already expected Paul to say this. He dialed the number which Be had given him and a young girl''s voice could be heard at the other end of the phone.


    "Hello? Who are you looking for?" asked Sandy, the daughter of Paul and E.


    "Honey! It''s Daddy! Are you good right now? Are you safe? Have you had your meal?" Paul asked anxiously.


    "Daddy! I''m doing very well now! Have you been busy at work recently? The auntie here tells me that you''ll be back soon and she has even bought me many slices of cakes!" Sandy said excitedly.


    There was no cake shop on that remote ind. In fact, none of the residents there knew what a "cake" was. Sandy had only read about it in cookbooks.


    "Daddy and Mommy will be back soon. Be good and listen to the auntie. Eat well and sleep well," Paul said gently.


    "Alright! Mommy and Daddy must rest well too!" Sandy said.


    When Xia Zhe saw how concerned Paul and E were, he suddenly felt like calling Qiao Mei and asking her if she was doing well and if the children were obedient. He must settle the matter in Country M quickly and return to Qiao Mei''s side as soon as possible.


    Paul hung up the phone reluctantly. He and E looked at each other, already knowing each other''s answer.


    "Even if you don''t want to cooperate with me, I will still protect your child. You don''t have to worry about that," Xia Zhe said.


    "Why are you helping us?" Paul asked suspiciously.


    If the rumors were true, Xia Zhe was a devil who killed without batting an eyelid. In just two years, he had gone from a stowaway to a rich businessman in Sky City. This was not something that an ordinary person could do.


    "I''m not really helping you. I''m just protecting my own life. After all, I have no chance of winning against the two of you," Xia Zhe said honestly.


    E liked Xia Zhe''s frankness and openness. She patted Paul''s shoulder and he took a step back to stand beside her.


    "We agree to work with you, but only this once. After this is over, you have to give us one million dors and help our family hide from n''s family," E said.


    "Sure." Xia Zhe agreed readily.


    He was in a different situation from n''s family. They needed a lot of money for raw materials, to train people, to run experiments in theboratory and so on. For Xia Zhe, he made his money through investments without needing to put in much cost. He also had a wife who knew how to make lots of money, so money was nothing to him.


    "What do you want us to do?" E asked. If they were being paid, then they needed to do what they were paid for.


    Xia Zhe told E and Paul about his n. After hearing about it, E and Paul suddenly felt that they did not want to work with Xia Zhe anymore. The father-and-son duo from n''s family were so brainless that they definitely would not be able to win against Xia Zhe! This smokeless battle would definitely see Xia Zhe being the victor.


    Paul found an abandoned warehouse in the suburbs. Then, he brought Xia Zhe there and tied him up. E returned to deliver the news to n''s family.


    "Young Master Daniel, we have seeded," E said to Daniel expressionlessly.


    Daniel immediately put down the billiard cue in his hand and asked excitedly, "Really?"


    "Don''t you trust us to do our job?" E questioned.


    "Hahahahahaha! Fang Chen! The day hase for you!" Daniel threw his head back and Jaughed.


    "Looking at the time, he''s probably about to wake up. We''ve put in a lot of effort on this job. Young Master Daniel, it''s time for you to give us the reward you promised us," E said as she stretched out her hand.


    "What is it? The sum of one million dors? I haven''t even seen him yet. What''s your hurry?" Daniel said as he looked at E in disdain.


    Even though E was now standing on n family''s territory, she was not afraid at all. She looked at Daniel firmly and said, "You have to hand over the money to get the goods. Young Master Daniel, if you don''t fulfill your promise, then we''ll let Fang Chen go. At most, we can all just fight to the death."


    "You!" Daniel pointed at E and roared, "You money-grubbing dog! Butler! Give her the money!"


    The butler brought down two heavy leather suitcases from the study upstairs. The suitcases were filled with cash of exactly one million dors. E opened them to check and only drove Daniel to the abandoned warehouse after confirming that it was real money.


    It was a nice sunny day. Daniel hummed a tune as he walked into the abandoned warehouse. He did not bring many bodyguards with him this time round. After all, n had said that this couple was one of his own. Back then, n had saved their lives, so the two of them would not hurt him.
