# Chapter 540: The Huge IOU
Wearing the Extreme-Speed Slippers, Jiangnan raced wildly between buildings, laughing his head off!
He had finally gotten rid of that hot potato, a perfect escape!
He couldn't help but want to give himself a thumbs up!
Jiangnan, aren't you just too good at acting?
Goose hahaha!
At this moment, Jiangnan completely gave up using teleportation, afraid of being sensed!
He didn't go back to the apartment but headed straight toward Central Park!
Piers and Magician had been sent away. Little bastard Buffett could figure things out on his own!
This was a rare opportunity. Big Sister Unicorn! Wait for me to come back and save you!
Charging all the way to near Central Park, Jiangnan's face darkened the moment he looked over!
A specially modified plasma anti-riot vehicle was driving down the street!
A high-energy plasma formed a light curtain, trapping the Bose body inside!
Buffett stood right beside the cage!
Surrounding the anti-riot vehicle were 300 fully armed Spirit Martial soldiers in black camouflage, alert on all sides!
The team patch on their arms featured a leopard head!
All of them were Platinum rank!
Jiangnan took a deep breath: "The U.S. Black Panther Spirit Martial Force!"
This was a true elite force! Not comparable to those vultures under the Star Shield Bureau!
Had they been transferred here on the spot?
That wasn't even the worst part. The main thing was the person standing in the sky!
A middle-aged man in a trench coat, smoking a cigar with his hair combed back. Gravity seemed useless against him!
Jiangnan's face grew even darker!
Martin the Star Plucker!
Even if Jiangnan usually didn't pay attention to such things, he knew this one!
A Dao Heaven from the U.S.! Special ability: "Gravity Control." He once pulled a near-Earth satellite down to use as a weapon against someone!
That's how he got the name Star Plucker!
Clearly, after capturing the Bose body, the Star Shield Bureau was in its most tense period!
They couldn't afford a single mistake. They'd even called in a Dao Heaven to escort the vehicle?
How was he supposed to save her?
Jiangnan's mind raced. Should he use a little pudding to transform into Piers and pull off another act?
But his rank would be seen through immediately. And after saving the Bose body, he wouldn't be able to escape!
Moreover, if discovered, Mountain Cat and the others wouldn't be able to get away either!
Jiangnan gritted his teeth!
He wanted to save the Bose body, but he also had to take responsibility for his team!
As things stood, there was no chance to rescue her during the transport. He could only wait until she reached Area 53 and see...
"Big Sister! Hold on! Just hold on a little longer! I'll find another way!"
Taking a deep breath, Jiangnan looked at the Bose body one last time, then turned and disappeared into the night!
The Bose body seemed to sense something. She stared blankly in the direction Jiangnan had gone!
Martin also looked over, frowning slightly!
Buffett: "What's wrong? Something unusual?"
Martin said impatiently: "Stop dawdling! Just escort your goods. Waking me up in the middle of the night to ride with you? You Star Shield Bureau people really know how to annoy... How irritating..."
Buffett gave a bitter smile and didn't dare say more!
...
Apartment building. Jiangnan opened the door and walked in, his expression freezing on the spot!
"Hey—what's going on? Qian Benying? Liuhua? How are they..."
At this moment, Qian Benying's entire body had turned poison-purple. Liuhua was wailing loudly!
Seeing Jiangnan return, she frantically went "Mmm mmm mmm"!
Mountain Cat and the others, seeing Jiangnan back safely, all breathed a huge sigh of relief!
Nan Shen was truly Nan Shen. Even in that situation, he'd managed to escape successfully!
Now they were all excited and crowded around him!
Iron Bull: "We don't know what happened either. Qian Benying came to us on her own, then poisoned herself!"
Black Crow: "I'm super lucky right now! My dad just texted me saying our old house got demolished and we got over thirty million! Haha!"
Skinny Monkey's eyes sparkled: "My ex-girlfriend actually agreed to get back together with me! Oh my god! Nan Shen, you don't know this, but I'd been begging her for over half a year and she never agreed!"
Platelet: "I just bought a fridge online for only one dollar, and they even gave me a mattress as a gift! What a steal!"
Jiangnan: ???
Mountain Cat took a bottle of black tea and twisted it open in front of Jiangnan!
The bottle cap read "One More Bottle"!
She twisted open seven bottles in a row! All won!
The eighth bottle!
A Little Sheep electric scooter!
Mountain Cat blushed: "This is the first time I've ever won anything from a drink since I was a kid! This... this..."
But Jiangnan's face turned pale with fright: "You guys didn't eat that cherry, did you?"
Katerina said excitedly: "We ate it! We all ate it! Does eating that cherry really bring good luck? This is incredible, isn't it?"
Black Crow sighed with emotion: "If it weren't for this thing, we'd probably have been intercepted by Qian Benying!"
Jiangnan looked at Qian Benying, whose face had turned eggplant purple, and couldn't help feeling a bit sympathetic!
Attacking six people who had eaten Lucky Little Cherries—it was also a miracle she was still alive!
"How long has it been since you ate them?"
Mountain Cat: "About twenty minutes. Why do you ask?"
Jiangnan breathed a sigh of relief. There was still time!
He walked to the bedside and pulled out the poison dagger stuck in her body. His eyes gleamed!
Qian Benying really was a gift-bearing child. He'd gotten another great treasure!
A dagger that could poison a Diamond rank to this extent—this wasn't an ordinary poison!
Platelet: "Nan Shen, what do we do with Qian Benying? Should we kill her?"
Liuhua: !!!
"Mmm—mmm!"
Tied to a chair, Liuhua shook her head frantically, struggling nonstop. Her big eyes were filled with pleading!
Jiangnan yanked the towel from her mouth!
"Nan Shen, I beg you, please save Ying-chan! She's dying! It's all my fault! Don't kill her!"
"Can you please save her? I'm begging you! I can give you all my money, I... wuwuwu..."
Jiangnan stroked his chin thoughtfully!
"You guys go outside and wait for me. Prepare to retreat. I'll handle this!"
Mountain Cat and the others nodded, gathered their equipment, and filed out of the apartment!
Jiangnan listened to Qian Benying's heartbeat. Though it was a bit slow, she wasn't dead yet!
He couldn't help but chuckle: "You want me to save her?"
Liuhua nodded desperately: "I'm begging you!"
Jiangnan pulled out a piece of paper, waved his pen, and scribbled down an IOU!
**IOU**
I, Qian Benying of the Sakura Group, owe Jiangnan one billion U.S. dollars! This document serves as proof!
Debtor's signature:
Fingerprint:
Guarantor's signature:
Fingerprint:
After writing it, he slapped it down in front of Liuhua: "Deal or not? Deal, and sign!"
Liuhua didn't care about anything else at that point. One billion U.S. dollars? The Sakura Group was such a big organization. They should have that much money, right?
A human life was the priority!
Without a second thought, she signed and pressed her fingerprint as guarantor!
Jiangnan's smile grew even brighter. He grabbed Qian Benying's hand and pressed her signature and fingerprint onto the IOU!
Carefully tucking the IOU away, he then pried open Qian Benying's mouth and shoved a Detoxifying Soybean and a Vitality Ginseng down her throat with his fingers!
Sure enough, Qian Benying's face started regaining color. Liuhua let out a long sigh of relief and looked at Jiangnan with gratitude: "Thank you! Thank you, Nan Shen! I'll remember this kindness for the rest of my life. I..."
Jiangnan shook his head with a smile: "Thank me for what? I didn't help you. This was a transaction!"
As he spoke, he wrote a note and stuffed it into Liuhua's hand: "Give this to Qian Benying when she wakes up. Don't forget!"
Liuhua nodded repeatedly!
Jiangnan turned and went downstairs: "Don't forget to pay the apartment rent when you leave. We stayed here for half a month and haven't paid yet!"
Liuhua: ???
Downstairs, Jiangnan met up with the other seven again!
Skinny Monkey said excitedly: "We've got the data and key codes now. Time to bow out and go home, right?"
Jiangnan grinned: "It's about time to head back to the country. But there's something I need to tell you guys..."
A few minutes later, in an abandoned warehouse by the docks!
Skinny Monkey and the others' faces turned white!
Platelet: "Wait, Nan Shen! You must be joking, right? As lucky as we just were, we're going to be that unlucky next?"
Iron Bull: "Unlucky for three hours? That's not scientific!"
Skinny Monkey: "How could that be? Luck is something ethereal and illusory, don't you think... haha... hahaha..."
Jiangnan rolled his eyes: "With your scrawny appearance, having a girlfriend was already strange enough. How could your ex-girlfriend possibly want to get back with you? It's all because of the Lucky Little Cherry!"
Skinny Monkey: ...
Are you insulting me or insulting me?
[From Liu Ming's Resentment Value +666!]
Just then, Skinny Monkey's phone suddenly rang!
Jiangnan shuddered violently: "Stay in this warehouse for the next three hours! Hmm—good luck to you!"
"I'm going to grab a midnight snack..."
And with that, he vanished!
Mountain Cat and the others exchanged glances. How could it be as scary as Jiangnan said?
He was so scared he ran away?
Skinny Monkey pulled out his phone, his eyes lighting up. He quickly answered!
"Hey? Xiaomei? Why are you calling again?"
Xiaomei: "Mingming! Let's... get married!"
Skinny Monkey's face flushed bright red with excitement!
"Re... really? Get married? Oh my god! Did your parents agree?"
Xiaomei: "Mhm mhm! Let's get married as soon as possible!"
Skinny Monkey cackled with joy. He pointed excitedly at the phone. See? Nan Shen was lying. Where was the bad luck? This was obviously good news!
Black Crow and the others showed expressions of blessing, all smiles!
"Getting married... I haven't prepared anything yet. Isn't this a bit rushed?"
Xiaomei: "But I can't wait any longer. If we drag it out any more, my belly will start showing. It wouldn't look good for family and friends to see. It's almost three months!"
Skinny Monkey laughed: "Mhm mhm, that's true. Three months... Huh?"
What the hell do you mean "three months"? You're pregnant?
Whose is it?
We broke up over half a year ago!
