“That’s fine. Mei Shu’s skills are pretty good. He should be able to handle some unexpected situations,” Captain Liu chimed in. “But you still need to be careful. Our police force will be ready to support you at any time. If there’s any trouble, retreat immediately and prioritize your own safety.”

Tang Mei seemed absent-minded.

Mei Shu held her hand and reassured her, “Don’t worry. Captain Liu and 1 are here. We can handle it. If there’s really an emergency, you just run first. Don’t worry about me; I can handle it.”

Tang Mei appeared somewhat shocked.

Although she was new to the workplace, she wasn’t clueless about everything.

There was no secretary who didn’t act according to the boss’ instructions, always being cautious and attentive to details.

But when she was with Mei Shu, she felt relaxed, and working with her was very comfortable.

Now, encountering such a situation, instead of firing her and distancing himself from her, Mei Shu was wholeheartedly helping her. How could Tang Mei not be grateful?

“Thank you,” she squeezed Mei Shu’s hand back, tears welling up in her eyes again. “I will do my job well in the future and never betray you or the Mei Corporation.”

Mei Shu chuckled helplessly, “Alright, let’s talk about everything after we successfully rescue the person.”

The next thing left was waiting.

Soon, night fell.

Lu Si hurriedly arrived at the Mei Corporation building to meet up with Mei Shu and the others.

Jiang Hai looked worried. When he heard that Mei Shu was going to accompany Tang Mei personally, he was the first to object. “No, this is too dangerous. Let me go instead.”

Lu Si narrowed his eyes, looking meaningfully at him. “1 haven’t spoken yet, Jiang Hai. What’s your opinion?”

Jiang Hai quickly lowered his head, but there was stubbornness between his brows. “Master Si, please allow me to escort Secretary Tang instead of Miss Mei.”

“No,” Mei Shu objected first. “You are a strong man. It’s easy to arouse the other party’s suspicion. If they suspect we’ve contacted the police, they might harm Tang Mei’s brother. It’s better for me to accompany Tang Mei alone.”

“Shu’er, do you have any other ideas?” Lu Si obviously understood Mei Shu’s usual methods very well.

There were many ways to solve this problem. Personally delivering the money was obviously the last resort, but if Mei Shu insisted on doing so, there must be other reasons.

Sure enough, the next moment, Mei Shu nodded. “I do have some ideas. We speculated this afternoon that the person behind instigating Tang Mei’s brother into gambling and running an underground casino, the one who kidnapped Tang Long, is likely from Mei Cheng.”

At this, even Lu Si couldn’t help but furrow his brow. “So you mean he actually never left Lincity. No wonder my people found no clues after searching the train station, bus station, etc.”

Mei Shu continued, “But it’s just speculation. Whether it’s him or not, we’ll have to see for ourselves tonight.”

“Alright, I’ll act with Captain Liu. We’ll cooperate with each other as soon as there’s a situation.” Lu Si didn’t say much to stop them. He knew that no matter how much he persuaded, Mei Shu would still do the same thing.

Feng Wei’s death couldn’t just be left like that. Lu Si understood her character very well, so he would only support her with all his might behind her.

This was the biggest difference between him and others in dealing with Mei Shu.

Jiang Hai stood silently on the side, watching, his fists clenched so tightly that he didn’t even realize the pain in his fingertips.

After finalizing some details with Captain Liu, the two of them acted together.

To avoid attracting attention, several cars departed from different routes but headed towards the same destination.

When Mei Shu and the others arrived, it was just one minute before the agreed time.

Tang Mei got off the car, carrying a suitcase, and looked at the abandoned old factory in front of her, fear spreading in her heart. “President Mei, do you think my brother is inside?”

Mei Shu signaled her to be quiet for a moment. After listening intently for a while, she said, “There should be four or five people inside. When we go in later, you follow behind me. If 1 tell you to run, you run fast.”

“But, President Mei, what will you do after I leave?” Tang Mei tightened her grip on the suitcase handle and made up her mind, “I’ll walk in front. 1 can’t let you take risks for my sake!”

“At this point, just listen to me.” Mei Shu moved forward without hesitation.

Tang Mei steadied herself and tentatively took a step forward. For a moment, the only sound on the empty ground was the footsteps of the two of them, nothing else.

Tang Mei didn’t know how Mei Shu could tell how many people were hiding in the factory, but she knew she was really nervous now. Her heart was beating so fast that she felt suffocated, as if she might faint at any moment.

Mei Shu didn’t miss any slight sounds around her. According to the instructions from the phone call, she instructed Tang Mei to put the suitcase at the door, which contained three million worth of gold.

“Why is there no movement?” Tang Mei felt a bit frightened. This place felt eerie, with no hiding places around. She also didn’t know where Master Si and Captain Liu were hiding.

“You go first.” Mei Shu slowly opened the iron door a crack. Just as she finished speaking, a flash of silver appeared inside the door, and a large knife was suddenly thrust towards Mei Shu..
