Gu Xuan thought it made sense. If they really encountered kidnappers who didn't care about honor, money could easily sway them. If they got such a large sum of money so easily, they might become greedy and try to extort money from Wei Xilin. That would be adding insult to injury for the Wei family, and they would never be able to recover.
Wei Xilin himself was also quite worried. There was another important reason why he and his mother came here this time: to ask Gu Xuan for help so that Wei Xilin's safety could be guaranteed and Wei Hongde could be redeemed smoothly.
Gu Xuan looked at Ji Hongyi. Although he was now in charge of the Subei Gang, in reality, the power he held was no match for the gang members controlled by Ji Hongyi. Moreover, he knew that Ji Hongyi had a group of trusted disciples who were capable of fighting and killing. This matter still had to be entrusted to this disciple.
He said, "Hongyi, I think it would be better if you took some men to secretly protect Young Master Wei as he went to Shanghai to pay the debt."
"Don't worry, leave this to me." Ji Hongyi nodded in agreement as soon as his master spoke.
Then he looked at Wei Xilin, sized him up carefully, and said, "The city area is not our territory after all, especially the western part of Shanghai. It is indeed too risky, and anything can happen. My suggestion is that, for safety's sake, Mr. Wei should not show up. I am about the same size as you. If Mrs. Wei and Mr. Wei trust me, then I will go and pay the money on your behalf. What do you think?"
The Wei mother and son were overjoyed to hear this. They hadn't expected that Ji Hongyi would be willing to personally take charge. With this, the matter couldn't be more secure. Wei Xilin quickly stood up and bowed deeply to Ji Hongyi: "Thank you so much, Mr. Ji. I'll leave everything to you. It's not that I'm afraid of death and dare not go to western Shanghai, it's just that I only know how to use a pen and have no physical strength. If I encounter an emergency, I'll be helpless."
Seeing that Ji Hongyi readily agreed, Gu Xuan knew that he was always reliable and meticulous in his work, and would naturally have his own arrangements. There was no need to worry about safety, so Gu Xuan nodded in satisfaction and said, "Alright, it's settled then. Hongyi, be extra careful and make as many arrangements as possible."
"Yes, don't worry!" Ji Hongyi nodded in agreement.
