Chu Munan didn’t waste any words and directly got to the point, "Are your people in S City stationed at the West Suburb Abandoned Factory?"

"How did you know, second brother?"

"You mentioned it before," Chu Munan didn’t offer more explanation and said directly, "Lend your people to me for a bit, I need manpower right now."

The other person suddenly fell silent, after a while they spoke, "Second brother, you’re not intending to do something bad, are you? Didn’t you say you wouldn’t get involved in this stuff before?"

His subordinates were all involved in illicit activities, so it’s understandable for him to think this way.

Chu Munan’s parents held significant positions in the military, his grandfather was the founder of the Chu Group, and Munan himself had spent a few years in the military before taking over the Chu Group, making his identity somewhat sensitive.

Typically, whether it be old man Chu or Munan’s parents, they wouldn’t let Munan touch these sorts of things.

Of course, whether Munan had secretly done these things or not was another story.

Hearing the questioning, Chu Munan furrowed his brow and explained, "Borrowing your people isn’t to do bad things, I’m facing some trouble on my end and need your people’s help. If you don’t lend them, I’ll find someone else."

The other person immediately spoke, "Hey, second brother, don’t be like that. I’m just worried you’ll stray onto the wrong path. If you need people, I’ll naturally lend them to you. However, most of them have been sent to Lin City due to recent happenings, so there aren’t many people there now."

After a brief silence, Chu Munan asked, "How skilled are your people?"

"They are retired Special Soldiers, highly skilled, or I wouldn’t spend so much money to train them..." After saying that, the person paused before continuing, "But second brother, can you tell me what kind of trouble you encountered? So I can arrange manpower..."

Unfazed, Chu Munan responded calmly, "Are you sure you’re not just gossiping?"

The other person, "..." Am I that obvious?

But since he sought help from others, Chu Munan had no intention of concealing, thinking for a moment before succinctly saying, "Someone around me has been kidnapped, the other party wants us to come to the West Suburb Abandoned Factory. I’m not familiar with this area, and remembered you mentioned your people were here recently, so I called to ask if I could borrow your people. I’ll give you the deserved compensation afterward..."

"Second brother, if you intend to pay me, then I won’t lend people to you. Aren’t we being too distant discussing this in our relationship?"

Song Qiao, "..." She’s truly curious about what their relationship is.

Pardon her fujoshi heart, she’s already got the wrong idea.

Chu Munan said nothing, only when the other person continued speaking seriously, "Send me your exact location later, I’ll arrange people to go over immediately."

Chu Munan hummed in response and sincerely said, "Thanks."

The other person, "..."

Only after hanging up the call did Chu Munan drive the car elsewhere, then sent a location through WeChat.

Just as he was about to end the call, he paused then looked at Song Qiao and asked, "Did you delete my WeChat last time?"

He rarely used such software; his contacts consisted mostly of good brothers and relatives. He downloaded WeChat due to Song Qiao while abroad, registering an account, only to find it flooded with requests from friends, even parents and grandpa.

Only then did he realize everyone around him had caught up with the trend, even his grandpa played on WeChat.

Song Qiao was flustered, quickly taking out her phone and searching for Chu Munan’s WeChat in her contacts, and indeed, his friend wasn’t there. Suddenly understanding the situation, she awkwardly said, "There seems to be a misunderstanding about this..."

Seeing Song Qiao’s reaction, Chu Munan instantly understood and asked again, "Did Lu Jingchen delete it?"

Song Qiao embarrassedly nodded.

Chu Munan let out a sneer, his eyes full of disdain, blandly remarking, "That man is really childish."

After saying that, he tossed his phone to Song Qiao, "Add me back."

Song Qiao acknowledged, opened Chu Munan’s QR code, scanned it with her phone, and directly added him back as a friend.

It remained quiet, the other party hadn’t called yet, so Chu Munan directly turned off the car, plunging everything into darkness. The car’s soundproofing was so good that only their voices were heard inside, completely blocking outside noise.

After about ten minutes, Song Qiao became a bit restless, suddenly hearing what sounded like a knock on the window, just one sound. Turning to her side, she could vaguely see a shadow outside, immediately jumped in shock and couldn’t help but cry out.

Chu Munan glanced her way, "What’s the matter?"

He had been busy investigating data on his phone, not noticing any movement, but he did hear Song Qiao’s scream.

Song Qiao shrunk toward him, her voice carrying a tremor as she spoke, "There’s... there’s someone outside..."

In the dead of night with only shadows visible, she didn’t know if it was human or ghost.

Chu Munan looked over, indeed seeing a person outside the window. In fairness, it’s a bit unsettling at night.

He immediately started the car and turned on the lights, as they lit up Song Qiao saw not just one person outside, but seven or eight, each wearing identical black outfits.

Glancing back at Chu Munan, the man had already opened the car door and gotten out. Song Qiao didn’t know who these people were, anxiously said, "Chu Munan, why did you get out? These people..."

If the people outside, then what?

Before she could finish speaking, Chu Munan explained, "These are people from my friend’s side, all here to help us."

Upon hearing this, Song Qiao immediately felt relieved.
