Chapter 109: Ni Yongxiao's Troubles

Regarding Mary's proposal, Han Chen was now filled with conflicting emotions.

"Let me think about it first."

In the year since Ni Kun was killed, Ni Yongxiao appeared to have made no moves, but in secret he had been tracking down the killer all along.

Several of Ni Kun's former bodyguards, fearing they would be held responsible, had long since vanished without a trace, and their whereabouts remained unknown even now.

Ni Yongxiao had also been constantly sending people to track down the whereabouts of these men.

As the person among the Five Great Families who was closest to the Ni Family, Han Chen knew all of this.

The fact that Mary had found someone to kill Ni Kun was a ticking time bomb.

Once Ni Yongxiao found even the slightest clue, the situation between him and the Ni Family would become a fight to the death.

He now had only two choices.

One was to confess everything to Ni Yongxiao, betting with the lives of Mary and Huang Zhi Cheng that Ni Yongxiao would spare him for the sake of his unwavering loyalty to the Ni Family.

The second was to do as Mary said — strike first and bring down the Ni Family completely.

Looking at Mary beside him, who was devoted to him heart and soul, Han Chen gradually made up his mind.

Rather than pin his hopes on Ni Yongxiao, he might as well take the gamble himself.

If he failed, the worst that could happen was death.

If he won, he could replace the Ni Family.

Moreover, Huang Zhi Cheng was also involved in this matter.

As a police officer, inciting Triad Society members to commit murder was a blatant violation of the law by someone who knew it well.

With this leverage, Huang Zhi Cheng would also be under his control.

With Huang Zhi Cheng's cooperation in the future, he could become even bigger than the Ni Family.

Han Chen's ambition began to grow.

But he had not lost his reason.

He knew just how powerful the Ni Family was; going against them now would be like striking a stone with an egg.

The Ni Family wouldn't even need to act — the other four Great Families alone could wipe him out.

"Keep this matter quiet for now. First, find the person who made that phone call and take him out. As for Ah Xiao's side, I need to plan this carefully."

"Okay, I'll listen to you."

Seeing the ambition gradually surfacing in Han Chen's eyes, Mary felt deeply gratified.

She felt even more that everything she had done for this man was worth it.

At the same time, Gan Di had also returned home.

After a severe beating, his wife finally confessed to him about her affair with Guohua.

"Bastards! You all deserve to die."

Although he kept several mistresses on the side, this kind of thing was something he could do but his wife could not.

No man could endure wearing a bright green hat on his head.

Compared to Hei Gui merely swindling him out of a few million, Guohua's mistake was far more unforgivable.

Gan Di called in two underlings from outside: "Drag this woman out and fill the sea with her."

"Huh? But..."

The boss wanted to drag the boss's wife out to fill the sea, leaving the underlings completely bewildered.

"But what? Can't you hear what I said? Drag her out to fill the sea!"

"Yes, yes, yes, we'll go right now."

The two underlings hauled Gan Di's wife up from the floor and headed out the door.

"Go, find Guohua's location for me. I'm going to hack him to death today!"

On the other side, the Ni Family villa.

"Ah Xiao, Liu Yaozu has gone missing, and Ah Bao hasn't been heard from either. Do you think Chen Mo did this?"

"Eight or nine times out of ten, it's him. Lu Bin Sun was rescued by him. Given Lu Bin Sun's hatred toward Liu Yaozu, he would definitely go after Liu Yaozu.

Barring any surprises, Liu Yaozu has probably already been taken out by Chen Mo."

"Then could that batch of bonds have already fallen into Chen Mo's hands? Should I just arrange for someone to grab Chen Mo and bring him back?"

"Third Uncle, there's no need to rush. That batch of bonds is Lu Bin Sun's lifeblood; he won't hand them over easily.

Just taking out one Liu Yaozu isn't worth three hundred million."

Third Uncle looked full of regret: "If only we had rescued Lu Bin Sun first, then taken out Liu Yaozu for him.

Liu Yaozu is truly useless — going this long without finding the whereabouts of the bonds. What a waste of our time."

Ni Yongxiao, however, appeared completely calm: "Although three hundred million in bonds is no small sum, it's nothing to make a fuss about. Now that Liu Yaozu has gone missing, Third Uncle, you should first arrange for men to take over his casino."

"That's three hundred million — even selling heroin, it would take us a year. That short-legged runt Chen Mo has no right to take that money."

Third Uncle was still grumbling nonstop, but seeing Ni Yongxiao's expression gradually turning cold, he finally shut his mouth.

"Never mind, I'll send someone to take over the casino first. That casino is worth quite a bit of money too."

Not long after Third Uncle left, Ni Yongxiao instructed Luo Ji behind him: "Later, arrange more men and see if you can find Lu Bin Sun. If there's a chance, capture him and bring him back.

As for Chen Mo's side, don't provoke him for now."

Last time, arranging people to tail Chen Mo and surveil his home had already alerted the snake by beating the grass.

If they were caught surveilling Chen Mo again, it would be an open declaration of going after him.

Although the Ni Family's strength was considerably greater than Chen Mo's, Chen Mo was after all the boss of Great Prosperity.

Compared to the entirety of Great Prosperity, the Ni Family still fell somewhat short.

Just then, Ni Yongxiao's phone rang.

Listening to the news coming over the phone, Ni Yongxiao's face grew increasingly grim.

"Luo Ji, go to Gan Di's place for me first."

"Mr. Ni, what's wrong at Gan Di's place?"

"That bastard Gan Di, I don't know if he took the wrong medicine, actually wants to bring his lackeys to chop Guohua. Go stop him for me, and meanwhile find out what the reason is."

"Okay, Mr. Ni, I'm going now."

Ni Yongxiao truly didn't know why Gan Di wanted to attack Guohua.

Although he knew Guohua had an affair with Gan Di's wife, that was already a year ago.

Over the past year Gan Di hasn't discovered this, which shows Guohua has done a good job keeping it secret since then, not so easily discovered.

He never could have imagined that Chen Mo would expose this.

If he had known it was because of this, he definitely wouldn't have sent Luo Ji over.

If it were some other conflict between Gan Di and Guohua, as the head of the Ni family, a few words from him would still work, mediating a bit, and the big issue could be reduced to a small one.

But Ni Yongxiao had known about this for a year. He neither told Gan Di nor dealt with Guohua; instead, he used this as leverage to hold Guohua in check.

This is practically slapping Gan Di in the face.

Now Gan Di also has some grievances against Ni Yongxiao, but he hasn't shown them yet because he still needs to deal with Guohua.

Luo Ji going to stop Gan Di for Ni Yongxiao—this is no joke.

Even if Ni Yongxiao went himself it might not help, let alone Luo Ji.

Sure enough, not long after, Luo Ji came back.

After learning from Luo Ji why Gan Di wanted to kill Guohua, Ni Yongxiao was also speechless for a moment.

What the hell kind of thing is this!

He also didn't know how to handle it.

Help Guohua beat Gan Di? No.

Help Gan Di beat Guohua? No either.

Let them keep fighting until one dies? Even worse.

Chen Mo didn't know Ni Yongxiao had already run into trouble; he had already been waiting an hour, and now it was time to make a second call to Han Chen.
