Why did you provoke me?

Yu Meng looked down and fiddled with the communication bell in her hand. "Is it really that boring? You even get involved in something like this."

Niannian lay on the table. "Fourth Sister, I don't like sitting there. I like excitement."

"But you're a girl?"

"Fourth Sister, I don't ask for much. It's fine as it is now."

Niannian picked up the intercom. "Is this for the family?"

"I've prepared them all; these are for some allies," Yu Meng said calmly.

"Give them to them?" Niannian frowned. "Can't they do it themselves? Why do they need you to give it to them?"

"They can't even copy what I make. Once you take it apart, the whole thing falls apart, and the main components are destroyed."

Niannian gave a thumbs up, "Fourth Sister, when it comes to being ruthless, you're the ruthlessest."

"I can't let them use what I make to make money."

"Can't we do it ourselves?" Niannian's eyes lit up as she asked softly.

"If you made it yourself, I won't interfere too much. But you need to know where every single one goes."

"Fourth sister, I don't want to learn. Can I have your defective product instead?"

"Can defective products fetch high prices?" Yu Meng asked rhetorically.

Niannian pursed her lips. "I'll go find Secretary Wu. He's shrewd and knows how to earn more money."

"Why are you so obsessed with making money?"

Niannian paused for a moment, then said, "You have to have some aspirations, don't you?"

Yu Meng shook her head and didn't ask any more questions!

In Secretary Wu's office, a disheveled man was eating. His clothes were torn, revealing bruises. He was hunched over, holding a small bowl in front of him, his head almost buried in it.

Niannian's head squeezed through the crack in the door, "Wu..."

Hearing the voice and seeing it was Niannian, Secretary Wu hurriedly waved, "Come in quickly, I have something to do. Please tell Teacher Yu that this person said he was sent by Nangong Tianshou. I'll take him there in a bit."

Niannian turned her head and glanced at the person eating, but the person did not look up.

Niannian was a little suspicious. "Do I know him?" She didn't move and stood to the side.

Secretary Wu also looked suspicious. This person didn't know Niannian?

After a while, the person eating finally looked up, touched their stomach, and let out a burp.

"I'm sorry to have made you laugh, I was just too hungry and couldn't resist."

Niannian looked at the man; he was very thin, with a sallow complexion, much like a homeless person on the street.

"Did the Nangong family go bankrupt?" Niannian asked curiously.

"Uh, you're joking. I'm just facing a bit of a difficulty right now and would like to ask for your help."

"Did he send you?" Niannian asked again.

The man nodded. Nian Nian held out her hand. "Give it to me."

"Ah, what are you taking?" the man asked cautiously.

"Give me the contract!" Secretary Wu hurriedly took it.

The man lowered his head. "The contract was there, but it was lost on the way."

Niannian became interested. "What happened to you? Why are you in such a sorry state?"

"There were five of us in total. On the way here, we were in a car accident. Two of us broke our legs and had to find a local hospital for treatment. The remaining three of us continued on our way. Who knew that people could be so cruel? At a fork in the road, we were led into a small village. That village was like hell. I barely managed to escape."

"Oh, you've really had a tough time," Niannian offered a casual word of comfort. "You've lost everything, so you should remember why you came here, right?"

"Of course I remember, they're the same people who went last time. I need their help with a small favor this time," the man said briskly.

"Could you do me a small favor?" Niannian repeated. "How many people do you need?"

"Not too many, three or five will do."

Secretary Wu interrupted their conversation at the opportune moment, "You just said you escaped, so how did you manage to pick them up? Last time, you came directly to pick them up by car."

"That's easy, I'll just use a signal to notify them."

Niannian and Secretary Wu exchanged a glance. Secretary Wu politely poured him a glass of water. "We've been talking for so long, but I haven't yet asked your name."

"My name is Yang Gou Dan."

"Huh? What's your name?" Niannian asked again in a shrill voice.

"Many people misunderstand my name. Yang means poplar tree, Gou means gully, and Dan means morning sun. Later, people got used to calling it that, and that's how it is now."

Niannian covered her mouth and said, "Your parents are quite talented."

Secretary Wu rolled her eyes. "Is that all? If that's all, I can make the decision, and we don't need to see Teacher Yu."

"That's all, that's all. I don't know when we set off; we've already wasted too much time on this journey."

"Niannian, go and select the best men. Our relationship with Nangong is not ordinary; his affairs are our affairs, so we can't be careless."

"Okay, I promise to pick the best, so don't worry."

Yang Gou Dan bowed his head and thanked them repeatedly, "Thank you so much, we're saved now."

"Can you tell me what exactly happened to them?" Secretary Wu suddenly asked.

"Ah, well, I don't know. I'm of low status, how could I possibly be told such important things?"

"Hey, don't be modest. They sent you here for something as important as finding help, so how could your status be low? Oh, by the way, I do have something I need your help with: the final payment from last time. Could you ask them when they're going to send it over? We're going to run out of food soon."

Secretary Wu pointed to the basin on the table, "You've come from afar, how can we entertain you in such a simple manner? We really have no other choice."

Yang Gou Dan glanced at his eating bowl; he hadn't noticed before, but now his face flushed red. "It's not easy for anyone, I understand!"

Secretary Wu leaned closer to him. "If you can help me get that money back, when you're free, come to my club and I'll give you a 20% discount. How about that?"

"Really?" Yang Gou Dan patted his chest. "You've got to believe it!"

As a cloud of dust rose from his body, Secretary Wu took a few steps back without leaving a trace.

He couldn't help but sigh inwardly, wondering if Nangong Tianshou would beat him to death on the spot if he saw this.

He touched the communication bell in his hand. All of this was evidence. It shouldn't be too much to ask him to give an explanation later!

Niannian returned quickly, followed by five people dressed in black robes.

"You seem to be in a hurry. Are you leaving now?" Niannian asked Yang Gou Dan as she entered.

Looking at the five people who entered, Yang Gou Dan pursed his lips, "The way they look..."

Secretary Wu's eyes were serious. "This was agreed upon beforehand; you are not allowed to investigate their identities. This time is no exception."

"I understand, I understand. I was just intimidated by their imposing presence. It's alright, it's alright." He wiped the sweat from his forehead with his sleeve. Then he looked at Secretary Wu, "Shall we leave now?"

Niannian suddenly asked from the side, "Did you send the signal?"

"We'll send it out as soon as we go out, it'll be quick." Yang Gou Dan was the first to walk out.

I don't know where he pulled something out of his body, but he threw it into the air with all his might.

Secretary Wu glanced at Niannian, who nodded happily.
