Chapter 70: Five Million

Long Feiyang was slapped by Li Xiaoyao and didn’t dare show any dissatisfaction, merely nodding vigorously as he said, "Mr. Li’s slap was well deserved."

Li Xiaoyao narrowed his eyes slightly. This Long Feiyang, even after being struck until he bled, still managed to behave this way; he truly knew how to bend or stand firm.

However, such a calculating and enduring person was generally more dangerous.

Li Xiaoyao asked, "Where is Tang Tiantian?"

Long Feiyang didn’t dare to conceal anything, nor did he dare to use Tang Tiantian as a bargaining chip to negotiate any conditions with Li Xiaoyao. Instead, he obediently said, "She is on the second floor, the third room to the left of the staircase."

Li Xiaoyao nodded, stood up, and said, "Wait for me here. Of course, you could choose to run away, but trust me, you definitely won’t escape my grasp."

Long Feiyang’s face was stacked with smiles as he nodded continuously and said, "Rest assured Mr. Li, I definitely won’t leave. After all, I also want to resolve the issue properly."

Li Xiaoyao hummed noncommittally and headed upstairs.

As soon as Li Xiaoyao’s figure disappeared from the living room, Long Zaitian, who had been hiding behind Long Feiyang, immediately whispered, "Dad, where’s your gun? I’ll go get it, and when he comes down later, we’ll finish him with one shot!"

Long Feiyang frowned, shook his head, and said, "You know Mr. Ling’s capabilities; even Mr. Ling is no match for him. Do you think a gun could threaten him?"

"Are we just going to let him go like this?" Long Zaitian was not willing to give up.

Long Feiyang sighed and said, "Xiaotian, haven’t you understood yet? It’s not a question of whether we can let him go, it’s about whether he is willing to let us go."

Perhaps Long Zaitian didn’t understand how formidable Li Xiaoyao was, but Long Feiyang did.

He had spent a lot of money to hire Mr. Ling as his personal bodyguard, and people like Mr. Ling were not available for hire by just anyone with money.

Long Feiyang knew to some extent that Mr. Ling was not just any martial artist; he was far superior to them.

But even with Long Feiyang’s status, he was unable to connect with that mysterious circle.

Therefore, when he saw Li Xiaoyao easily knock Mr. Ling unconscious, he no longer harbored any thoughts of opposing him. What he was thinking now was how he could convince Li Xiaoyao to spare him from his murderous intent.

After Li Xiaoyao went upstairs, he walked to the third room, pushed open the door, and saw Tang Tiantian tied up, lying on the bed.

Tang Tiantian, hearing the opening of the door, looked up in alarm at the entrance but when she saw a familiar figure enter from outside, she was first taken aback and then immediately showed a joyful expression.

"Brother Li!" Tang Tiantian exclaimed in surprise and delight.

Li Xiaoyao quickly walked over, untied the ropes from her limbs, and as Tiantian’s hands were freed, she immediately threw herself into Li Xiaoyao’s arms, tightly wrapping around his strong waist.

"I knew you would come, I just knew it." Tang Tiantian said softly, crying.

Li Xiaoyao gently stroked her hair with a tender motion and said, "It’s alright. As long as I’m here, no one can hurt you."

Though Li Xiaoyao’s voice was not loud, it gave Tang Tiantian a profound sense of security. It was as if Li Xiaoyao were a towering mountain, standing firm in her heart.

This sense of security was irreplaceable by anyone else.

After comforting Tang Tiantian and calming her nerves, Li Xiaoyao said, "I’m going to make a phone call."

"Okay," Tang Tiantian replied, gripping his clothes tightly, unwilling to have him too far from her because that made her feel anxious.

Li Xiaoyao didn’t leave; he held Tang Tiantian tightly in his embrace, took out his mobile phone with his right hand, and made a call to Zhao Ge.

As soon as the call connected, before Li Xiaoyao could speak, Zhao Ge promptly said, "It’s all been taken care of, and the room is clean now."

Li Xiaoyao nodded inwardly, acknowledging that Zhao Ge was indeed talented.

"I’m at Donghu First Grade Villa Area, come over immediately."

"Okay, I’ll be there in twenty minutes." Zhao Ge didn’t waste any words and hung up the phone to rush over.

Li Xiaoyao put away his cell phone, helped Tang Tiantian out of bed, and said, "Let’s go downstairs."

Tang Tiantian felt lost and worried, "Those bad people... won’t they find out?"

Li Xiaoyao smiled, ruffled her hair, and said, "I scared away those bad guys."

"Really?" Tang Tiantian looked at Li Xiaoyao with surprise and curiosity.

Li Xiaoyao flexed his arm muscles and said, "Of course, when have I ever lied to you? Plus, with muscles this big, how could those baddies ever be my match?"

"But, since when did you become so powerful?" Tang Tiantian asked in puzzled amazement.

Li Xiaoyao chuckled naughtily and gave her a light slap on the buttocks, saying, "Don’t you know how capable your man is?"

Tang Tiantian’s cheeks flushed as she pinched Li Xiaoyao’s waist.

The two went downstairs, and upon spotting Long Feiyang and his son, Tang Tiantian instinctively snuggled into Li Xiaoyao’s embrace like a startled little rabbit, whispering, "Big Brother Li, it was them, they were the bad guys who captured me."

Li Xiaoyao patted her arm and said softly, "Don’t be afraid, they wouldn’t dare hurt you."

Holding onto Li Xiaoyao, Tang Tiantian walked toward the sofa, glancing cautiously at Long Feiyang and his son. When she saw a look of respect on their faces, she couldn’t help feeling surprised.

Long Feiyang, noticing how frightened Tang Tiantian was, quickly said, "Miss Tang, I’m deeply sorry for the fright you experienced tonight. On behalf of myself, I offer you my sincerest apologies."

Long Feiyang stood up from the sofa and bowed deeply to Tang Tiantian.

Tang Tiantian was stunned, staring blankly at Long Feiyang.

What was going on? Wasn’t this man the one who had brought her here? Why was he apologizing to her now?

Li Xiaoyao said, "Mr. Long, you took my woman, do you think a mere apology will do the trick?"

Long Feiyang offered an apologetic smile and said, "Tonight’s incident was indeed due to my oversight. Of course, I will express my apologies to Miss Tang with the utmost sincerity for the fright she experienced."

After speaking, Long Feiyang pondered for a couple of seconds and said, "Five million."

Five million!

This figure startles Tang Tiantian, but Li Xiaoyao remains unfazed.

Five million is not a small sum, but to Li Xiaoyao, it really wasn’t much.

During his time abroad as a mercenary, he had earned far more than this figure.

Long Zaitian stood behind Long Feiyang, glaring at Li Xiaoyao, who should have been disabled by him, but was now sitting across from them, conversing with his father in a controlling manner—anger and resentment burning in his heart.

However, he knew Li Xiaoyao wasn’t someone the Long Family could afford to provoke; even his father had to approach Li Xiaoyao with the most respectful attitude.

Although Long Zaitian was a rich second generation, this didn’t mean he was unintelligent or thoughtless.

He understood that if he wanted to continue enjoying a life where money was paramount, he absolutely couldn’t afford to anger Li Xiaoyao today.
