He halted his steps, and Chu Chen spoke in a tone that was neither cold nor warm, the subject changed abruptly, "I heard that Li Mochanâs fiancee is still in school and must be inexperienced in the world. Li Mochanâs way of doing things is so brutal and bloody, arenât you afraid of scaring your fiancee?"
Wei Xi inwardly cursed him as despicable and sneered, "Chu Chen, what do you mean by that?"
Chu Chen smiled playfully, his gaze provocatively fixed on Li Mochan, "What can I mean? Iâve only heard that Li Mochanâs fiancee has extraordinary courage and Iâd like to invite her over some time, thatâs all."
Since things had come to this point, he might as well take the opportunity to intimidate Li Mochan. As for the consequences... well...
Ajiu would bear them anyway.
If a dragon has its scales that must not be touched, then Ye Jiuliang was that set of inviolable scales.
Li Mochanâs deep and cold eyes seeped with chillness, and no one saw how he made his move.
In the blink of an eye, a gunshot sounded.
"Bang bangâ"
Chu Chen spun around to dodge, and the bullet grazed the hem of his trousers, adding a few more dark holes to the ravaged ground.
That was close.
Gu Xinuoâs heart tightened, and she hurried over.
"Achen."
She grabbed his arm and looked at him with eyes full of concern, "Are you hurt?"
"Iâm fine." Chu Chen raised his hand and rubbed her head to comfort her in a gentle voice.
Gu Xinuo glared at him and muttered softly, "Why did you provoke him by mentioning Ajiu?"
Chu Chen huffed, "You see what heâs done to our place, blowing it up like this, whatâs wrong with provoking him a bit?"
As he spoke, he turned his head towards Li Mochan, a defiant smile hooking at the corner of his mouth, "It seems that Li Mochan is indeed very anxious about your fiancee. I just wonder what your expression would be if I were to invite her over as a guest."
"If you dare, just try it." The mockery in Li Mochanâs eyes disappeared, replaced by a sharp and overwhelming aura that made one involuntarily shudder with fear.
Chu Chen looked at the gun pointed at him and laughed carelessly.
"Heh."
Li Mochan scoffed coldly, shifting the gun slightly, aiming at Gu Xinuo beside him.
"How about this, Boss Chu?"
No one could threaten his familyâs cub.
Gu Xinuo was speechless, "..."
Ajiu, your wife is pointing a gun at me.
What happened to the big red envelope you promised me for setting you two up?
The color drained from Chu Chenâs face as he took a step forward, placing himself in front of Gu Xinuo.
His beloved woman was threatened, and he couldnât even be bothered to pretend civility, his tone bleakly menacing, "Li Mochan, donât push your luck!"
Li Mochan smirked with scorn, "Who is the one pushing their luck, Chu Chen, donât you know deep down?"
Chu Chen fought back without to show any weakness, "Li Mochan, you knew well that the eastern territory was a sure thing for our k organization, yet you deliberately meddled. Now youâve blown up our headquarters without a word, who is truly overstepping?"
And he coveted the cabbage in his garden too.
"Laughable, is your k organizationâs name written on that piece of the east?" Li Mochan shot him a sidelong glance, his eyes flickering with derision.
"Also, your group snatched away something from my Dark Hall first. I came to settle the score, which is entirely reasonable. Youâve been avoiding the confrontation, what does it have to do with me?"
Chu Chen stared at him, teeth itching with hatred.
Damn it.
No wonder Ajiu was taken with this guyâthey are cut from the same cloth.
In the monitoring room, unable to hear their conversation, Ye Jiuliangâs heart raced just by watching the scene on the screen.
Theyâve started fighting.
This isnât looking good.
From the side, a suppressed laughter emerged, and Ji Mingqian teased, "Master Jiu, your man might just do it, heâs got the gun pointed at Achen and his crew."
Ye Jiuliang glared at him, "Go away."
Rarely seeing her in a gloomy mood, Ji Mingqian laughed wildly, "By the way, why exactly did Li Mochan suddenly decide to barge in? It seems like there hasnât been much contact between organization K and Dark Hall lately, right?"
"How would I know." She too wanted to know why her beloved Li Mochan had suddenly come looking for trouble with organization K.
"Master Jiu, which one of those is your wife?" asked the person responsible for the surveillance room, curious.
As the words fell, a wave of gossip-filled gazes followed.
"Itâs that one who looks fierce and ferocious, and has an even worse temper," Ji Mingqian pointed at the person on the screen while speaking with a smile.
As expected, an iron fist aimed at him.
"Ji Mingqian, I think youâre asking for a beating."
Having anticipated the punch, Ji Mingqian dodged backwards.
"Hahaha."
The scene returns to the open space in front of the headquartersâ main entrance.
The atmosphere remained tense and unyielding.
Gu Xinuo stepped out from behind Chu Chen, holding his hand. Her brown eyes gazed at Li Mochan, "Li Wuye, everything can be negotiated. Why be so quick to anger?"
Being truly aggressive would make things difficult for her Little Liangliang.
Li Mochan looked at her with undisturbed eyes, speaking in a dominating tone that left no room for turning back, "Return the goods along with the profits to Dark Hall, and this matter will be over."
"In your dreams," Chu Chen scoffed.
"If you have the ability, try taking them back."
If it wasnât for his relationship with Ajiu, he would have lost his patience with him long ago. It was truly frustrating.
So arrogant, and with a venomous tongue too, utterly detestable and loathsome, an annoying creature.
"Since thatâs the case, thereâs nothing to discuss," Li Mochan toyed with the gun in his hand, a cold and emotionless smile curving on his lips.
The smell of gunpowder rose again, and the atmosphere was as tense as a drawn bow, oppressing so much it took oneâs breath away.
Wei Bei and the others exchanged looks, and Wei Xi secretly pressed his phone in his pocket.
Suddenly, the combat aircraft in the air moved, flying towards the dead center of the headquarters.
Obviously, they were about to come to blows once again.
Chu Chen was infuriated, glaring fiercely at Li Mochan, "Li Mochan, you wouldnât dare."
Li Mochan raised an eyebrow, a cold and bone-chilling smile spilling from his lips, "Whether I dare or not, didnât you just witness it with your own eyes?"
Chu Chen watched the circling combat aircraft in the sky, anger almost exploding in his chest.
"Donât fight, donât fight, itâs all money after all."
A hearty voice unsuitably interjected, tinged with the tune of a miser.
"No fighting allowed, itâs all money weâre talking about here."
Seeing Dark Hallâs combat aircraft stationed right above the headquartersâ center, Ji Mingqian couldnât contain himself and ran out.
What a joke, he had a lot of property there. If it got bombed, where would he go crying?
Pushing through the crowd, Ji Mingqian squeezed to the front.
Seeing him, a shadow flickered in Li Mochanâs cold eyes.
There were four leaders of organization K.
Ji Mingqian appeared here, so he was...
Wei Xi and the others found it odd to see Ji Mingqian there.
Why would he be in organization K?
Wei Xi pressed his phone again, and the combat aircraft circling in the air paused its attack temporarily.
Seeing that the aircraft showed no signs of launching an attack, Ji Mingqian exhaled in relief.
Good, good, itâs a relief they havenât started fighting.
"Ji Mingqian!" Suddenly, a cold voice called out his name from across the way.
Ji Mingqian looked up, meeting those dark and cold eyes. He clenched his fist and brought it to his mouth, coughing softly.
"What a coincidence, to run into you here."
