Tao Yao quickly walked up to Chen Yang, bowed slightly, and said respectfully, "Young Master Chen, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting. Sister Mei asked me to help you rescue your friend."

Chen Yang nodded, then turned his gaze to Xiao Mingxuan, his eyes turning cold.

Xiao Mingxuan suddenly stood up, glared at Tao Yao with anger and threat on his face, and asked through gritted teeth, "Does your Sister Mei really want to go against me?"

Aren't you afraid that when my brother comes back, he'll take your lives and raze your Meilan Manor to the ground?

Tao Yao remained calm and said in a composed tone, "Young Master Xiao, our Sister Mei doesn't want to go against you either, but Mr. Chen and his friends have been kind to us, and we must take them away. We hope Young Master Xiao will be accommodating."

Xiao Mingxuan trembled with rage, gritted his teeth, and glared at the crowd: "How dare you?"

I'd like to see who dares to lay a finger on them!

Tao Yao said no more, glanced at her subordinates, and ordered in a deep voice, "Move! Rescue them!"

More than a dozen men and women in suits responded to the call and instantly pounced on Xiao Mingxuan's three bodyguards and two security guards.

In an instant, sticks were brandished and shouts rose and fell in the hall.

Apart from the three bodyguards who were slightly more resilient and could barely hold on, the two security guards were quickly beaten black and blue and collapsed to the ground.

The three bodyguards gradually lost ground, forced to retreat repeatedly, and were powerless to fight back.

Chen Yang rushed to Song Mengmeng's side, asking anxiously, "Sister-in-law, are you alright? Are you hurt?"

Song Mengmeng shook her head, her eyes red and swollen, her emotions running high, tears welling up in her eyes, but she held them back.

She quickly looked at the girl beside her who had also been rescued, reached out and grabbed her shoulder, and said in a reassuring tone, "It's okay, don't be afraid, we're saved."

Seeing this, Xiao Mingxuan was so angry he felt like his lungs were about to explode. He shouted, "Enough! Stop it, all of you!"

Upon seeing this, Tao Yao immediately signaled her subordinates to stop.

More than a dozen men and women in suits stopped what they were doing and retreated behind Tao Yao.

Tao Yao clasped her hands in a fist salute to Xiao Mingxuan, her tone still respectful: "Young Master Xiao, I have offended you greatly, please forgive me."

She turned to look at Chen Yang and Song Mengmeng, then glanced at her subordinates, and said in a deep voice, "Let's go."

Xiao Mingxuan was furious. He gritted his teeth, his face turned ashen, and he was about to explode.

Just then, Chen Yang suddenly lunged forward and pounced in front of Xiao Mingxuan, holding a sharp kitchen knife directly to his neck.

Xiao Mingxuan was startled, and his body stiffened abruptly.

Tao Yao, Song Mengmeng, and the others also showed expressions of surprise.

Xiao Mingxuan suppressed his fear, his voice trembling slightly, but he still stubbornly asked, "You... what do you want to do? You dare to kill me?"

Chen Yang didn't look at him. Instead, he took out the crumpled IOU for 1200 million yuan from his pocket, handed it to Xiao Mingxuan, and said coldly, word by word, "Young Master Xiao, you should recognize this IOU, right?"

Xiao Mingxuan looked down at the IOU Chen Yang handed him, his face full of surprise, his tone tinged with disbelief: "You...you're still with the Su Group?"

Chen Yang's eyes were cold, and his tone was firm: "Yes."

"Pay back this debt right now, or I'll have to take action."

Xiao Mingxuan gritted his teeth, his face alternating between pale and flushed, his eyes filled with resentment yet also a hint of fear: "I'll personally go to your CEO tomorrow and tell him I won't renege on this debt, but I can't raise the money right now!"

"Enough with the nonsense!" A cold glint flashed in Chen Yang's eyes, and the cleaver in his hand pressed against Xiao Mingxuan's neck again. The sharp blade instantly cut through his skin, and a trickle of bright red blood slowly seeped out and slid down his neck.

Xiao Mingxuan's eyes widened in fright, his arrogance vanished instantly, replaced by undisguised fear. His body trembled slightly, but he forced himself to remain calm and dared not move an inch.

Chen Yang's voice was icy cold: "Young Master Xiao, pay up now, or don't blame me for being ruthless!"

Xiao Mingxuan trembled with fear, his voice shaking as he begged for mercy, "I'll give it to you! I'll give it to you! I'll give it to you right now, just put the knife away and give me the account!"

As he spoke, he hurriedly pulled his phone out of his pocket, his fingertips trembling slightly with nervousness, and it took him several seconds to unlock it.

Seeing this, Chen Yang slowly put away the kitchen knife, took out his phone, pulled up his bank account number, and handed it to him.

Xiao Mingxuan didn't dare to delay at all. He stared at the account on Chen Yang's phone screen, quickly entered it on his own phone, and his fingers flew across the screen. Before long, the transfer was completed.

Almost simultaneously, Chen Yang's phone chimed with a notification that the money had been credited to his account.

He looked down and saw on the screen that the amount received was indeed 1200 million.

Chen Yang's heart pounded wildly, and an overwhelming excitement surged within him. This was 1200 million, a number he had never dared to dream of before.

But he quickly suppressed his excitement, regained his composure, handed the IOU to Xiao Mingxuan, and warned him in an icy tone: "Young Master Xiao, keep this IOU safe. From now on, we are even."

Also, you'd better not even think about getting revenge on us, or I'll show you what I'm capable of.

Xiao Mingxuan took the IOU, clutched it tightly in his hand, glared at Chen Yang with resentment in his eyes, his teeth grinding together, but he dared not speak out.

He was surrounded by Tao Yao's people and had no chance to resist, so he could only swallow his anger.

Chen Yang stopped looking at him, turned around and quickly walked to Song Mengmeng and the girl, grabbing their hands: "Sister-in-law, let's go!"

Tao Yao and her men realized what was happening and quickly followed Chen Yang's footsteps, the group walking briskly towards the villa's entrance.

Xiao Mingxuan chased after them to the villa's entrance, watching Chen Yang and the others get into their car and drive away. He couldn't hold back any longer and roared in the direction the car had gone, "Fuck your grandpa, you son of a bitch..."

His voice was filled with anger and resentment, and his chest heaved violently.

He immediately took out his phone and, with trembling fingers, dialed his brother Xiao Mingxiao's number.

As soon as the call connected, he cried out excitedly, "Brother! I've been beaten up! And I was forced to transfer 1200 million yuan! Please come back and help me!"

A deep, cold male voice came from the other end of the phone, carrying a hint of authority: "Who's so bold as to dare touch you?"

Xiao Mingxuan hurriedly said, "It's Liu Zuimei's people! And Su Bing from the Su Group too, they're involved! Brother, come back quickly and help me get revenge, I can't swallow this!"

Xiao Mingxiao was silent for a few seconds on the other end of the phone, his tone still icy: "I'm currently out of town on business and can't come back for the time being."

I'm heading back right now. Give me two more days, and when I get back, I'll make them pay the price.

Xiao Mingxuan nodded hurriedly, his tone urgent: "Okay! Brother, hurry up, I'm waiting for you!"

After hanging up the phone, Xiao Mingxuan clenched his fists, his nails digging deep into his palms, and gritted his teeth, saying, "Kid, Liu Zuimei, Su Bing, you just wait! Two days from now, I'll see how you die! I'll make you pay for your crimes in blood!"
