Chapter 108: First Move Is Strong?

Gan Di this time didn't hang up the phone.

A year ago, Ni Kun was killed, and the whole Ni Family's atmosphere was very depressed.

At that time it was the best chance to break away from the Ni Family and establish one's own sect.

Unfortunately Ni Yongxiao shattered the alliance of the four of them with just one phone call.

This matter has been nagging him for the whole year.

"What did Ni Yongxiao tell them?"

"During that period you and Hei Gui teamed up to bring in a shipment, which was later raided by the police, right? In fact, those police were Hei Gui's subordinates in disguise. Ni Yongxiao discovered that shipment in Hei Gui's warehouse and used it as leverage, which made Hei Gui switch allegiance to Ni Yongxiao."

"Damn, that bastard Hei Gui," Gan Di roared, "How did you find out about this?"

"How I found out is none of your business; it's my matter."

Chen Mo continued, gloating, "Also, Guohua was found out by Ni Yongxiao because he had an affair with your wife, and Ni Yongxiao threatened him."

"Impossible, what evidence do you have?"

Gan Di immediately retorted, he didn't believe his wife would dare to cuckold him.

"During that time Guohua went to Macau to discuss casino business, you should know that, right? Your wife also traveled to Macau; if you don't believe it, you can go home and interrogate your wife, her mouth shouldn't be that tight."

"You want to sow discord between me and Guohua and Hei Gui?"

Although angry, Gan Di hadn't lost his mind; he began to doubt Chen Mo's motives.

"I can't help you thinking that way. I just told you these two matters; as for what you do, I don't care.

Anyway, I'm not the one being backstabbed or cuckolded."

After saying that, Chen Mo hung up the phone.

Even if Gan Di suspects he's sowing discord, so what?

Hei Gui backstabbed him, Guohua cuckolded him, and Ni Yongxiao, as the head of the Ni Family, not only failed to deal with these two, but used these matters to threaten Guohua and Hei Gui to consolidate his position.

To Gan Di this was sheer humiliation.

Chen Mo believed Gan Di absolutely couldn't hold back.

Whether targeting Guohua, Hei Gui, or Ni Yongxiao, as soon as Gan Di acts, Chen Mo's goal is achieved.

After hanging up Gan Di's phone, Chen Mo called Han Chen.

"Who is this?"

Han Chen's hoarse voice came through the phone.

"Hello, Brother Chen. You don't need to know who I am; I just have a business matter I want to discuss with you. I hope you can find a quieter place."

Chen Mo pressed his throat, his voice equally hoarse.

Han Chen, hearing the voice on the line, realized the other side had deliberately altered it and gave it more attention.

People who call this way usually have more important matters.

Han Chen raised his hand to dismiss the nearby Sha Qiang. Of course, this Sha Qiang is not the same as the Sha Qiang beside Jingkun; they just share the same nickname.

"What business do you want to discuss with me?"

"Discuss the matter of your wife Mary killing Ni Kun."

Chen Mo's tone was relaxed, but his words struck Han Chen like a bolt from the clear sky.

"What evidence do you have for that claim?"

"Whether this is true, just go home and ask Sister Mary; you'll know. As for evidence, do you think Ni Yongxiao needs evidence?"

Ni Yongxiao of course doesn't need evidence.

He only needs a suspect; he'll find the evidence himself.

Han Chen heard the threatening meaning in Chen Mo's words.

"What do you want?"

"No rush; Brother Chen can first go find Sister Mary to verify the situation. In an hour I'll call you again. Then we can discuss terms."

The call ended, Chen Mo began to think; besides money, Han Chen seemed to have nothing else Chen Mo needed.

But how much? Too little, it's not worth it. Too much, if Han Chen panics and jumps the wall, it won't be worthwhile.

On the other end, after hanging up, Han Chen's face turned grim and he shouted outward.

"Sha Qiang!"

"I'm here, boss, any orders?" Sha Qiang scurried over.

"Go drive and take me home."

"Oh!"

Seeing Han Chen's grim face, Sha Qiang didn't dare say another word and hurried to drive.

Ten minutes later, Han Chen arrived at his doorstep.

"Stay here and don't let anyone disturb me."

Han Chen hurriedly opened the door, entered, and pulled Mary, who was watching TV in the living room, into the bedroom.

"What's wrong? Why the hurry?" Mary asked, seeing Han Chen's demeanor.

Han Chen re‑locked the door and drew the curtains.

"I ask you, Uncle Kun, did you kill him?"

"Huh? What are you talking about?" Mary became nervous at Han Chen's question.

She had kept this matter hidden from Han Chen, never thought to tell him.

"Was it you or not? Speak!"

"Someone already called me saying you killed Uncle Kun. Do you know what consequences that would have if it reaches A Xiao's ears?"

"Was it you?"

Seeing Han Chen's anxious expression and the hint of fear in his eyes, especially after hearing someone call Han Chen, Mary also got a little panicked.

"It... it was me who had someone kill Ni Kun."

"Why? Why would you do this?"

Han Chen simply couldn't understand why Mary would do this.

"For your sake, Ni Kun—or how could you stand up? I don't want you to always be a dog for the Ni family."

"As long as you're alright, I can do anything."

After hearing Mary's words, Han Chen sat down on the bed, looking dejected.

"There are no impenetrable walls in the world. Someone is already using this to threaten me, and A Xiao will eventually find out."

"You must leave Gangdao immediately, or no one can protect you."

He never imagined that Mary's reason for doing this was actually for him.

If Mary had done this because she colluded with another Triad Society and betrayed him, Han Chen might have hardened his heart and killed her outright.

But now Mary's reason makes him unable to bring himself to act.

"No, I won't leave. If I go, A Xiao will surely blame this on you in the end."

"I'll go find Huang Zhi Cheng; he's also involved in this."

"What exactly is going on?" Mary's words surprised Han Chen again: "How is this also related to Huang Zhi Cheng?"

"He told me that as long as Ni Kun dies, he can take the opportunity to eliminate the Ni family and also help you rise to power."

"Then Jianshazui will be yours to command."

"Nonsense! Huang Zhi Cheng, that bastard, how could his words be trusted?"

Han Chen now also feels somewhat at a loss for what to do.

If word got out that his own woman had colluded with the police to kill the boss, not only would he have no standing in Jianshazui, he wouldn't have a foothold in the entire jianghu.

He now regrets having gotten close to Huang Zhi Cheng earlier.

"A Chen, what should we do now? Why don't we strike first while A Xiao still doesn't know the truth and just take him out?"

Although the present Han Chen is scheming, he is not yet the Han Chen of a few years later; compared to Mary, he is still not ruthless enough.

Han Chen only thinks about how to save Mary's life, but Mary is already thinking about how to kill Ni Yongxiao.
