A moment later.

Guan Feng sent the three people's information to Zheng Yuandong.

Zheng Yuandong replied that he had received the information and said he would immediately arrange for someone to investigate the relevant background information.

Guan Feng agreed, while reminding the other side that they couldn't lose track of Qian Hao, as he was currently the closest lead to victory.

Zheng Yuandong immediately said, "Please rest assured, Captain Guan! I, Old Zheng, have been a criminal investigation captain for so many years. How could I not have this much information? I will definitely dig out all the dirt behind these people."

Guan Feng said, "Team Leader Zheng is one of the most senior squadron leaders in our Hua'an team, right? There's definitely no problem! I'm waiting for good news from Team Leader Zheng."

After hanging up the phone, Guan Feng looked at Shang Wanting and asked, "Chairwoman Shang, how's the fundraising going?"

Shang Wanting said, "I have already contacted the China Securities Regulatory Commission to issue an announcement, but it will take time to reduce my holdings. In addition, I can raise about 50 million yuan in cash. The rest can only be raised after the stocks are sold."

Guan Feng said, "Issuing the announcement was just to show the other party our sincerity. The important thing is that we only have cash on hand, which is just over 50 million yuan."

Shang Wanting sighed and said, "Don't be fooled by the fact that outsiders say I'm the richest woman in Hua'an. In reality, cash flow and assets are not the same thing. I only have a little over 50 million yuan in liquid funds. That's because I took out the funds for Nana in advance when she wanted to start her own business."

Guan Feng asked, "Can we raise 100 million yuan first?"

Shang Wanting asked, "Is it really necessary?"

Guan Feng said, "The first negotiation with the bandits must be done with keeping our word. Regardless of whether we hand over the money or not, we must at least keep some in our pockets. This is the only way to ensure the safety of the victims. We just secured 100 million yuan in funds within 3 hours, so we must keep our word."

Shang Wanting gritted her teeth and said, "Then I'll borrow some from a few friends."

Guan Feng said, "Keep it a secret when you borrow it."

Shang Wanting asked, "Captain Guan, I heard you are very familiar with Chen You?"

Guan Feng looked at Shang Wanting but didn't say anything.

Shang Wanting said, "Chen You and I are also friends. You just said to keep it a secret. Can I tell him directly? After all, it's 50 million in cash. If I, a wealthy person, rashly ask someone for it, everyone will think I'm a swindler, right?"

Guan Feng nodded and said, "Okay, you can call him, and I'll be your witness."

Shang Wanting immediately nodded and then dialed Chen You's number.

When Chen You received Shang Wanting's call, he first laughed heartily, then asked, "Chairwoman Shang, what brings you to call me?"

Shang Wanting cut to the chase: "Old Chen, I have an urgent matter! I need to borrow 50 million yuan from you, in cash!"

Chen You paused for a moment, seemingly checking the phone number, before asking, "Chairman Shang, is this really you?"

Shang Wanting said, "This matter is hard to explain, and I don't know how to approach it. You know Captain Guan from the Major Crimes Unit, right? He's busy with my case. Why don't you give him a call and ask?"

Chen You said, "Guan Feng? Okay! Let me ask. Don't worry, Chairman Shang, if he's not a scammer, the 50 million yuan is no problem."

Shang Wanting said, "Okay! I'll hang up now. If you're worried, you can call Lao Yang. He knows about my case too."

Upon hearing this, Chen You said no more.

Beep beep!

The two hung up the phone.

Guan Feng's phone rang.

"Uncle Chen!"

Guan Feng answered the phone and took the initiative to speak.

Chen You asked, "Xiao Guan, are you with Shang Wanting?"

Guan Feng said, "I was next to her. I heard her making that phone call to you just now."

Chen You asked, "What's going on? Why are you asking me to borrow 50 million yuan? And in cash no less? Is there some kind of case?"

Guan Feng said, "It involves the details of the case, so it's inconvenient to disclose them to you, Uncle Chen. But the other party was asking for an exorbitant amount, demanding 100 million yuan in cash within two hours. Chairman Shang was forced into a corner."

Chen You suddenly realized and asked in surprise, "It can't be...?"

Guan Feng did not answer directly, but said, "Uncle Chen, I see that Qingxin's shop has only so-so security. You should hire two more security guards, the kind who are retired special forces soldiers, to provide 24-hour protection. If Qingxin is not willing, she can rent a house across the street to protect her secretly."

Chen You then understood even more clearly what situation Shang Wanting had encountered.

He said, "Thank you for reminding me! I understand. Don't worry, I'll consider Qingxin. Do you have any reliable candidates you can recommend?"

Guan Feng thought for a moment and said, "As for candidates? I'll ask Commander Zhang later. He should have quite a few retired soldiers."

Chen You said, "Thank you then, Xiao Guan. Please give the phone to Shang Wanting."

Guan Feng said, "You should just call her directly."

Chen You shook his head and said, "I'll use your phone."

A feeling of being moved welled up in Guan Feng's heart.

Nothing more!

Chen You insisted on using his own phone to talk to Shang Wanting, not because it was convenient, but to take this opportunity to enhance Guan Feng's value and let Shang Wanting understand that she and Chen You, the richest man in Hua'an, could be so open with each other.

Since Chen You was unaware that he possessed a system with unlimited future potential, this was actually a form of endorsement and cultivation.

Guan Feng handed the phone to Shang Wanting and said, "Chairwoman Shang, Chairman Chen wants to speak with you."

Shang Wanting took the phone with surprise and chatted with Chen You. She then told him how the cash was given and who ultimately took the money to the villa.

After hanging up the phone, Shang Wanting returned the phone to Guan Feng, gave him a deep look, and said, "Captain Guan, if Nana is successfully rescued this time, you two young people should communicate more, and you should mentor her!"
