699 Words
"Everything will be arranged as per your instructions, Master." Just after Zhong Wuhai spoke, his phone suddenly rang, its sharp tone filling the air. He answered the call, and after hearing whatever was said, his face turned grim.
"What happened?" Wang Yishan furrowed his brow.
Zhong Wuhai’s expression became ferocious as he said, "Master, the Special Task Force just informed me that that damn bastard has left their custody."
"Hmph, what a failure," Wang Yishan sneered coldly. "Looks like this little brat has some skills. Spread the word — I’ll be waiting for him at the Antique Dealers Association tonight. If he doesn’t show up, there’s no need for Jubaoge to exist anymore!"
Soon after, the news spread throughout the upper circles of Luojiang City. Within half an hour, the message had reached everyone, especially with the arrival of Wang Yishan, a master in the stone gambling world, causing a huge stir. Many people rushed to the Antique Dealers Association’s headquarters, eager to witness this master firsthand.
Meanwhile, Chen Xuan and his group were having a meal at a restaurant.
After hearing about the events that had unfolded in Luojiang City, Han Chong’s temper flared. "That damn Liu Rufeng, this bastard is ruthless, even sending assassins. And the Antique Dealers Association? They’re all no good. Xuanzi, we can’t let this slide."
Chen Xuan replied, "Of course, we can’t let it slide. The Antique Dealers Association needs to pay the price too."
"Kid, what are you planning to do?" Han Chong asked, eager for a solution.
Qin Shuyi and Li Wei’er both stared at Chen Xuan. After the events in the Special Task Force and the earlier assassination attempt, Qin Shuyi realized that she couldn’t stay out of this, and neither could Chen Xuan. Even if she wanted to send him away, the Liu family and the Antique Dealers Association wouldn’t let that happen. There was no turning back now. Even if it was an act of defiance, they had to go for it.
"It’s simple. We’re going to take the fight to their doorstep and settle this score with them!" Chen Xuan sneered. After all, the Antique Dealers Association had almost gotten into trouble with the Special Task Force. If it wasn’t for his connection with Han Chong, the outcome would have been unknown. He wasn’t going to let this slide.
"s**t, Xuanzi, why wait? Let’s go get them now! I want to see how tough the Antique Dealers Association really is, daring to mess with my brother!" Han Chong slammed the table, furious.
Chen Xuan responded, "Calm down, let’s eat first. Besides, the Antique Dealers Association is probably just waiting for us to show up."
"What about the Liu family?" Li Wei’er asked, her gaze fixed on him. "Kid, before the Special Task Force took you, you mentioned finding allies. Who can we rely on?"
"Well, about that, the person we need is someone you both saw at the auction in Dongling City."
Qin Shuyi and Li Wei’er exchanged a glance and both said in unison, "The Xiao family!"
When Chen Xuan and Xiao Yuhan attended the Liu family’s auction, both Qin Shuyi and Li Wei’er saw Xiao Yuhan, though they hadn’t spoken to her. However, Qin Shuyi couldn’t help but admit that the woman was indeed beautiful.
And as for power, the Xiao family was indeed a formidable ally. If they were willing to help, the Liu family would be finished!
Li Wei’er spoke with displeasure, "Why would she help us, we’re no one to her? Did you get into a relationship with her or something?"
Chen Xuan rolled his eyes. "I’m expensive, even if I was involved with her, it would be for my art, not my body."
"Stop joking around. Do you think the Xiao family will help us?" Qin Shuyi asked seriously.
"Let’s try and see!" Chen Xuan shrugged. He remembered Xiao Yuhan’s suggestion to meet with the Ninth Martial Aunt, and now seemed like a good time.
"But before we deal with the Liu family, we need to collect some interest from them." Chen Xuan’s tone darkened as he recalled the assassination attempt. He couldn’t suppress the murderous intent rising in his heart.
