Li Meiwei stood in the center of the reception room, hesitated for a moment, but ultimately could not resist the pressure of debt.

She slowly walked to the sofa next to Cao Kun and sat down, her beautiful eyes filled with tears, her voice trembling:

"Mr. Cao, to tell you the truth, I insist on 3700 million because my husband, Ren Tong, owes the casino 3700 million in gambling debts."

"Now that he's being held at the casino, I can only desperately try to raise money outside."

"They gave me a week, and if I don't pay it back... they'll cut off his hand."

She bit her lower lip, her tearful appearance evoking pity.

Taking a deep breath, Li Meiwei continued, "Ren Tong is a second-generation rich kid. After his elders passed away, he took over the company."

"But he only knew how to spend money, not how to make it. He also became addicted to gambling. After no one supervised him, he became more and more reckless and gradually gambled away the entire company."

"We sold everything of value in the house: gold, jewelry, ornaments, shares, assets—everything that could be sold."

"I even took an advance on my salary, and now all I have left is this house..."

She lowered her head, her voice growing softer and softer until it was almost inaudible.

After listening to Li Meiwei's story, Cao Kun's gaze darkened. He seized the opportunity to grasp her hand and said in a deep voice:

"Ms. Li, I can help you plug this 3700 million hole, but your husband is a gambling addict, and you can't trust a single word a gambling addict says."

Even if he gets away this time, he'll go gambling and cheating again.

"Believe it or not, even if you help him pay off that 3700 million, he'll just suddenly have millions more in debt!"

Li Meiwei was startled by his sudden action. She looked up with her beautiful eyes glistening with tears, her face filled with helplessness.

She tried to pull her hand away, but Cao Kun gripped it even tighter. Her beautiful legs, clad in black stockings, involuntarily pressed together, and her voice trembled softly:

"I...I know he's unreliable, but he's still my husband, and I can't just stand by and watch him get his hand chopped off."

Cao Kun sighed inwardly: This silly woman, if I don't take action, you're destined to be dragged into the abyss by your husband!

After a while, Li Meiwei suppressed her tears and gradually calmed down.

She lowered her eyes, her voice carrying a hint of resolve: "President Cao, actually, this house was a gift from Ren Tong when he got married."

"Right now, all I want to do is sell it, pay off his gambling debts, and then divorce him so we're even."

Her gaze was firm, as if she had made up her mind.

Cao Kun thought to himself: This woman is decisive enough; she's selling the house to end the relationship!

He leaned back on the sofa, his voice calm:

"Ms. Li, I'm very satisfied with the house. Let's sign a preliminary agreement. It's 3700 million. I'll transfer the full amount to you within a week."

He paused, took out a check from his briefcase, and handed it over: "This is a deposit of 200 million. Take it first to get you out of this tight spot."

Li Meiwei took the check, her fingers trembling slightly.

"Mr. Cao, thank you... I know this house isn't worth 3700 million now, but I really have no choice, the casino... sob sob sob..."

As she spoke, she threw herself on Cao Kun and burst into tears.

Seeing this, Cao Kun gently put his arm around her shoulder, speaking softly:

"Miss Li, don't be afraid, I'm here. I've bought the house, so you can rest assured."

……

In Nagano City, a dilapidated business hotel.

The room was a mess, with clothes scattered everywhere, hookahs strewn about, cigarette butts, and bottles piled on the floor.

The air was filled with the pungent smell of tobacco and alcohol, as well as the suffocating scent of photinia flowers.

Ren Tong looked haggard as he sat on the edge of the bed, holding his phone in his hand.

He had just finished a phone call with Li Meiwei, and his phone screen showed a transfer notification—200 million yuan.

The door was kicked open with a bang, and Green Hair swaggered in, followed by two henchmen.

He was still bandaged, and his teeth were loose.

"Hey, Young Master Ren, the money's in your account? 200 million, that's pretty generous! Your wife's really obedient; she transferred the money right away as soon as you mentioned cutting off her hand."

Ren Tong hesitated for a moment and tried to put his phone back, but Green Hair snatched it away.

Green Hair mocked, "Young Master Ren, you lost millions in Macau. If our company hadn't lent you money to pay off your gambling debts, you would have drowned in the sea in Macau."

"You wanted me to play along with your act, and the plan to trick your wife into selling the house was your own idea. What, you're denying it now?"

Green Hair waved his fist, making Ren Tong shrink back in fear: "I've taken the money. Tell your wife to sell the house quickly, or you'll be in big trouble."

Ren Tong's face turned deathly pale, his fists clenched so tightly they cracked, and he gritted his teeth, saying, "Green-haired guy, at least leave me a little bit, I need to recoup my losses..."

Green Hair sneered, and his henchmen stepped forward and punched Ren Tong in the face, causing him to groan and fall to the ground.

Green Hair squatted down and grabbed Ren Tong's chin: "Make up for it? Wake up, Young Master Ren! You've lost everything, even your family's company! You'll never make up for it in your lifetime!"

……

After leaving Fuli Garden, Cao Kun made a detour to the 24th floor of Mingzhu Building.

Cao Kun had just sat down in the general manager's office of Kunlun Trading when he heard a knock on the door.

Su Yue's voice rang out from outside the door: "Boss, two gentlemen want to see you. They say... they are friends of Wang Meng."

Cao Kun's heart skipped a beat. He guessed that these two were soldiers under Wang Meng's command, and that their arrival was perfectly timed!

He quickly stood up and said in a deep voice, "Please let them in."

Su Yue pushed open the door and led two men into the office.

The first man was lean and wiry, with an upright posture and a sharp glint in his eyes.

The second man was burly, even more imposing than Wang Meng, and had a simple, honest smile on his face.

Before they came, Wang Meng had already given them instructions.

Knowing that this was the instructor's benefactor, neither of them dared to be presumptuous and immediately saluted Cao Kun upon entering.

"Spirit Fox, the leader of the second squad of the Raptors, reporting for duty!" the lean man said first.

"Black Bear, leader of the third squad of the Raptors, reporting for duty!" the burly man boomed as he followed.

Cao Kun raised an eyebrow; these two were incredibly strong!

On the system page, the entry for "[City-level Mixed Martial Arts Champion]" keeps popping up.

Despite his slender build, that fox spirit is just as strong as me.

The burly man next to him, nicknamed Black Bear, could easily take on two of them.

Cao Kun shook hands with each of them, and Linghu took the initiative to say:

"Boss, we just came from Brother Meng's place. Xiaoya's surgery went very smoothly."

"Brother Meng said that he would return to the team as soon as Xiaoya was out of danger."

Cao Kun nodded, and the spirit fox continued:

"I excel at building intelligence networks and long-range sniping, while Black Bear excels at driving, close combat, and building security systems."

"Do you have any special arrangements for us?"

Cao Kun thought for a moment and said to the spirit fox:

"I happen to have something to ask you. A friend of mine has a husband named Ren Tong. I heard he's being held by a casino and it will cost a lot of money to bail him out."

"I'll give you the specific information later, and you can investigate this matter for me."

A glint of light flashed in the fox spirit's eyes: "Should we rescue him?"

"No, no, no... I'm just curious, please don't save him." Cao Kun waved his hands repeatedly.

Then he said to Black Bear, "During this period, I'll ask you to be Manager Su's driver, protect her safety, and also start building the company's security system."

The black bear nodded and said in a deep voice, "The black bear understands."
