Chapter 129

Chu Tian's eyes suddenly narrowed, and he gave Lin Huaile a deep look.

This kid,

actually knew the identity of the gunman.

But thinking about it carefully, Lin Huaile was currently competing with Big D for the position of Dragon Head, so he must be keeping a constant eye on Big D's every move; it seemed plausible that he would know Big D had sent someone to assassinate him.

And the enemy of an enemy is a friend.

Therefore, Lin Huaile had come specifically to tell him,

letting him go and retaliate against Big D to weaken Big D's power, which was also a disguised form of helping himself.

"What a great move—driving the tiger to swallow the wolf. You truly live up to your reputation, Lin Huaile!"

After thinking it through, the gaze Chu Tian turned toward Lin Huaile became somewhat alarmed.

Because this was an open conspiracy.

Even if Chu Tian knew that Lin Huaile had chosen to tell him this secret for his own benefit,

under normal circumstances, Chu Tian would have followed the path Lin Huaile had laid out for him step by step.

"Not interested?"

But Chu Tian just smiled and shook his head. Lin Huaile wanted to scheme against him?

Then he would simply refuse to walk the path Lin Huaile had planned!!!

"What???"

Lin Huaile had originally assumed that Chu Tian would definitely be desperate to question him further.

He had even planned to take the opportunity to extort an information fee from Chu Tian.

Who would have thought,

that Chu Tian would actually say he wasn't interested?

That's right, Lin Huaile wasn't just trying to scheme against Chu Tian;

he even wanted to use this opportunity to swindle a sum of money out of him.

Because any normal person, after being assassinated, would certainly be extremely eager to know who the culprit was and then retaliate.

Especially those of them living in the underworld, who were even more about swift vengeance.

But Chu Tian's answer had greatly exceeded his expectations.

"Could it be that you've already found out who did it???"

Lin Huaile looked at Chu Tian in confusion,

because that was the only possibility for why Chu Tian wouldn't want to get this intelligence from him.

And looking at Chu Tian's half-smiling expression, Lin Huaile became almost even more certain of this thought.

"Hehe, that's right, I've already found out. It was Big D who did it, right!"

Chu Tian said with a chuckle, and as he finished, he tilted his head and asked Lin Huaile.

"As expected!!!"

Receiving Chu Tian's affirmative answer, Lin Huaile's eyes sank instantly, with endless alarm hidden deep within them.

Because Chu Tian's ability to investigate intelligence was simply too terrifying!!!

In just one day, he had investigated the truth.

One had to know, Big D had done this thing extremely secretly, and he himself had only learned of it by chance.

Yet Chu Tian had investigated it in just one day; this investigative ability truly made even Lin Huaile feel a sense of fear.

"This kid must absolutely not be provoked!"

This was the only thought in Lin Huaile's mind at this moment.

Because Chu Tian was not only powerful, having repelled the invading Hung Hing,

one had to know, if it were him facing that group of Hung Hing boys led by Chan Ho Nam, let alone repelling them, it would be hard to say if he could even win.

Not to mention that Chu Tian's intelligence-gathering ability was also so excellent.

Combined, these made Chu Tian appear particularly terrifying.

"This kid has already grown up. It seems my choice not to deal with him back then was a very correct one!"

Lin Huaile thought to himself with relief.

Back when their Luen Shing's Da Sheng Fa was killed by Chu Tian,

he had also considered planting his flag in the Dapu District.

But after hesitating repeatedly, Lin Huaile had given up, because Big D was pressing him step by step at the time, and he simply didn't dare to dispatch more manpower to the Dapu District.

Now it seemed, how correct that decision had been!!!

"That's right, it was indeed Big D who did it. I didn't expect you to have already found out. Impressive, truly impressive!!!"

Lin Huaile said with a face full of smiles and admiration.

Although Chu Tian had already found out who did it and he couldn't extort Chu Tian anymore,

it didn't matter.

Chu Tian would definitely deal with Big D afterwards,

so his goal could be considered achieved.

"I heard you've been competing with Big D for the Dragon Head position recently, is that right, Brother Le?"

Chu Tian looked up and said abruptly.

"Ah? What competition for Dragon Head? Matters like the Dragon Head aren't up to us; it mainly depends on the choice of the uncles!"

Lin Huaile said with a laugh.

"Hehehe!" Chu Tian gave a cold laugh, then said slowly:

"But you can win over those uncles, right? Isn't that so?"

"Uh!" Hearing this, Lin Huaile just gave a dry laugh and didn't answer.

Chu Tian wasn't annoyed and continued slowly:

"According to my investigation, Big D has already spent money to win over several of your Luen Shing uncles, like Chuan Bao, Long Gen, and so on!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Huaile was instantly shocked, because even he didn't know this!!!

At this moment, Chu Tian continued to slowly bluff:

"If things went by normal circumstances, Big D is richer and more powerful than you, so he would definitely win over more uncles than you. So even if you have the support of Uncle Deng, who has the highest seniority among the uncles, I'm afraid you're still no match for Big D. After all, Luen Shing isn't Uncle Deng's personal fiefdom, wouldn't you agree?"

Hearing this, Lin Huaile instantly took a deep breath, his gaze filled with alarm and even a trace of fear.

Because it was one thing for Chu Tian to know other things,

but how could he even know about Uncle Deng supporting him?

One had to know, Uncle Deng had only approached him the day before yesterday; even Big D might not know about this, yet Chu Tian knew it so clearly...

"What exactly do you mean?"

The smile on Lin Huaile's face could no longer be maintained, and his expression was grave as never before.

Chu Tian gave a faint smile, because he knew Lin Huaile had taken the bait.

So he continued with a half-smile:

"No special meaning, I just want to know if you want to be the Dragon Head?

If you don't want to, then pretend I never said anything.

If you do want to, I can help you!!!"

"Help me?"

Lin Huaile looked at Chu Tian in confusion. Was this person really so kind-hearted?

"Of course." Chu Tian nodded with a smile: "After all, Big D sent people to assassinate me, so I don't like him either. Naturally, I don't want him to sit in the Dragon Head position!!!"

"How will you help me?"

"Help you get rid of him! That way, you'll have no competitors, and the Dragon Head position will naturally be yours!"

Chu Tian said confidently.

Lin Huaile gave Chu Tian a deep look, his brows tightly furrowed, his mind thinking frantically.

From the strength and intelligence-gathering ability Chu Tian had shown so far, he indeed had such capability.

And just as Chu Tian said, if things went by normal circumstances, he definitely couldn't compete with Big D and wouldn't be able to sit in the Dragon Head position.

After weighing it repeatedly, Lin Huaile compromised. He looked up at Chu Tian and said gravely:

"What price do I need to pay?"
