Zhao Feng was the captain, so not just anyone was qualified to challenge his position. But Xu Da had made significant progress. At least he wasn't instantly killed at the very beginning like before. The fact that he could now last five minutes against Zhao Feng was already considered very impressive!

"God of War, for the past two days, we've been fully committed to tracking the Lone Wolf. But he's alone now, and his trail is elusive, so we haven't located his exact whereabouts yet!"

Chen Zheng was refining pills when Zhao Feng came over to report.

"Let Xu Da go. He's full of energy and doesn't need to sleep at night anyway. It would be good to let him get some training."

"That's not a problem, it's just that with the Lone Wolf's current abilities, Xu Da…"

"Don't worry about that at all. The pills he's been taking weren't for nothing!"

"Understood!"

Zhao Feng left after receiving his orders.

Just then, Jiang Miaomiao suddenly called. As soon as he answered, her frightened voice came through the phone. "Cousin, can I ask you something?"

"Are you busy right now...? Could you lend me 200,000 yuan?"

"What's wrong? Did you run into some serious trouble?" Chen Zheng was stunned.

Damn. Jiang Miaomiao is just a high school student. How could a teenager possibly need such a large sum of money? Something must have happened!

"Miaomiao… What exactly happened? Just tell me. I won't tell our aunt," Chen Zheng said again, hearing only silence on the other end.

After a moment, Jiang Miaomiao burst into tears. "Cousin, I listened to you and decided I don't want to livestream anymore! But the company I signed with said there's a problem with the contract. Not only are they refusing to pay me for my past work, but they're also demanding 200,000 yuan in liquidation damages! Now... now if I don't pay it, they're going to make me…"

Something like this can actually happen? Chen Zheng's eyebrow twitched. This company is too much! They make her work hard livestreaming, refuse to pay her, and then try to scam her out of so much money? And they're making such outrageous demands of a teenager? They're practically asking to be destroyed!

"What's the name of the company? Tell me now. I'll go solve this for you," Chen Zheng said in a low voice.

"It's called Tianxing Media Co., Ltd.!" Jiang Miaomiao said, taking a deep breath.

"Leave this to me. You just focus on your studies and don't worry about anything else," Chen Zheng comforted her gently.

"Cousin, I heard this company has a powerful backer, even in the provincial capital…"

"Don't worry about that. At worst, I'll just pay the money for you. You just focus on school, understand?" Chen Zheng's tone became serious.

"I understand..." Jiang Miaomiao nodded obediently.

After hanging up, Chen Zheng had Zhao Feng get the car ready, and they headed straight for Tianxing Media Co., Ltd.

「Meanwhile.」

Inside the office of the General Manager at Tianxing Media Co., Ltd., a greasy, middle-aged man with slicked-back hair sat with his legs crossed, arrogantly watching a recorded livestream on his computer.

The star of the video was, of course, Jiang Miaomiao.

He took a harsh drag from his cigarette, a cold smile forming on his lips. "Little girl... I've already made all the preparations to promote you, and now you want to just up and quit?"

He had signed many female broadcasters before. Of course, a lot of them tried to leave halfway through their contracts or once they gained a little fame. But things were never that simple. He had buried plenty of traps in the contracts to keep them all under his thumb. If they wanted to run, they had to pay a huge penalty! And if they didn't have the money, well, they could repay him in other ways. In this day and age, women are a valuable commodity. Most importantly, these young streamers were all quite attractive. Someone like Jiang Miaomiao might even be a virgin!

Zhao Dabao knew Jiang Miaomiao was a student and couldn't possibly come up with the penalty fee. In the end, she would have no choice but to do as he said. He had pulled this stunt many times before.

As far as Zhao Dabao was concerned, Jiang Miaomiao was already his.

Just as he was lost in his fantasies, the office door was kicked open.

He leaped up from his chair just as two strangers he had never seen before walked in. He immediately bellowed, "Who the hell are you? Are you looking to die? Get the hell out!"

The two men walked over slowly. Zhao Feng pulled up a chair and placed it beside Chen Zheng.

Chen Zheng sat down calmly, leisurely crossing his legs. With a mild smile, he said serenely, "I'm Jiang Miaomiao's cousin. I'm here to talk about her contract."

Hearing this, Zhao Dabao was stunned for a moment. Since when did Jiang Miaomiao have a cousin like this? But soon enough, a cold smile crept back onto his face.

"Fine, let's talk," Zhao Dabao said, pulling out a stack of contracts. "It's all right here in black and white, completely filled out."

"Your cousin doesn't want to work anymore, which is a breach of contract. She owes me 200,000 yuan in damages, at a minimum. You look like you just started working. How much can you possibly pay?"

As he spoke, he shot the two of them a look of utter derision. In my experience, these two are just a couple of broke kids. Two hundred thousand! For a normal family, that's a fortune. There's no way these two can afford it!

"Two hundred thousand?" Chen Zheng nodded slowly and gestured with his hand.

Without hesitating, Zhao Feng placed a paper bag on the desk.

When Zhao Dabao opened the bag, he saw it was stuffed with stacks of bright red hundred-yuan bills.

He was stunned. Holy crap. These guys are actually rich. They really brought 200,000 yuan!

"Here's the 200,000 yuan for the breach of contract. Hand over my cousin's contract. From this moment on, she is no longer a streamer for your Tianxing Media Co., Ltd.," Chen Zheng said calmly.

Technically speaking, even though I know the contract is full of traps, there's no obvious legal flaw I can point to. I'd rather not use force if I don't have to. As long as this matter can be resolved, I'd be willing to pay even two million...
