Chapter 110: Extorting Han Chen

"Brother Chen, you've confirmed with Sister Mary, right?"

"Speak. What do you want?" Han Chen's tone turned cold.

All these years, this was the first time someone had him by the throat like this.

Chen Mo's tone was breezy: "I won't ask for much. Fifty million. No problem, right?"

"Impossible. I don't have that much money! I'll give you ten million at most."

Even though he was mentally prepared, Han Chen was still startled by Chen Mo's outrageous demand.

"Brother Chen, that's not how you haggle. How much do you think Ni Yongxiao would be willing to pay for this information?"

Facing Chen Mo's threat, Han Chen gritted his teeth: "Thirty million. That's the highest price I can offer. Otherwise, go try Ni Yongxiao and see if he'll give you that much."

Chen Mo raised an eyebrow. Thirty million was already quite a lot.

Though Han Chen's assets were certainly more than this, he couldn't empty everything out either.

He had to leave Han Chen some money — otherwise, what would he use to fight the Ni Family!

"Alright, thirty million it is. I'll give Brother Chen face."

"Prepare a large suitcase. Before ten tonight, put the money next to the trash bin in front of the Huarun Building. Someone will come collect it."

"No good. Thirty million in cash is too much. I need three days to prepare."

"Don't be ridiculous, Brother Chen. Who doesn't know that you big drug lords have the most cash on all of Gangdao? I want to see the money tonight. You'd better not try any tricks."

Without waiting for Han Chen's reply, Chen Mo forcefully hung up the phone.

After hanging up, Gao Jin arrived right on cue.

"Mo Ge, got word. Over at the Ni Family side, Gan Di and Guohua have started fighting."

"Good, I know. Have people keep watching the situation over there."

Chen Mo hadn't expected Gan Di to move this fast. He had only finished calling Gan Di a little over an hour ago, and Gan Di was already making his move.

"Perfect. I have a job for you."

"At ten tonight, Han Chen will place a suitcase containing thirty million in cash next to the trash bin in front of the Huarun Building. Take some men and retrieve it. Be careful not to be recognized, and don't leave a tail."

"Got it."

At ten that night, the Huarun Building and the nearby commercial buildings had mostly gone dark. The streetlights on Gloucester Road were rather dim.

Han Chen arrived at the trash bin in front of the Huarun Building carrying a suitcase.

He didn't just drop the suitcase and leave. Instead, he stood there waiting for Chen Mo's people to appear.

Gao Jin had already been watching the scene through binoculars from a hotel room across the way.

"Cover your face and go take that suitcase. After you get it, drive around for half an hour, then find a place and wait for me."

"Yes, Brother Jin."

The young brother behind Gao Jin quickly left the room to go collect the money from Han Chen.

Han Chen stood there waiting for a while. Suddenly, the brick phone in his hand rang.

Han Chen answered the phone quickly.

"Leave the case. You can go now."

The voice on the phone was different from the one that had called him that morning.

Han Chen scanned his surroundings. Seeing no one around, he could only follow the phone's instructions and leave quickly.

Less than two minutes after Han Chen left, a young man with his face covered pulled up beside the trash bin in a car, quickly got out, grabbed the suitcase, and drove off.

Around a corner several dozen meters away, a black sedan also started up immediately and followed.

All of this was seen clearly by Gao Jin through binoculars from the hotel room.

He dialed Han Chen's number again.

"Brother Chen, you've got nerve, actually arranging someone to tail me."

Han Chen's expression darkened: "I didn't arrange anyone to follow you. I don't know what you're talking about."

"Is that so? That black sedan isn't Brother Chen's man? Should I read off the license plate number for Brother Chen?"

"However, the deal is void. As for the consequences, please think it through yourself, Brother Chen."

"That car wasn't arranged by me. Tell you what — give me three minutes. I'll have that car get lost right now."

Han Chen genuinely hadn't had anyone follow.

He had no need to offend the person behind this over thirty million. But he also guessed that the tail was arranged by Mary.

Only he and Mary knew about the money drop here.

He immediately called Mary.

"Did you arrange someone to tail? Pull them out right now."

"It's Huang Zhi Cheng doing the tailing. He got spotted?"

Han Chen couldn't help roaring: "Why did you let that bastard get involved? He was spotted from the very start — even his license plate was seen clear as day!"

"Get him to stop immediately, or if those people get angry, we're finished."

If you asked who Han Chen most wanted to kill right now, it was neither Ni Yongxiao nor Chen Mo, who had called to threaten him.

It was Huang Zhi Cheng.

If this bastard hadn't egged Mary on to kill Ni Kun, none of this would have happened.

Soon, Huang Zhi Cheng, who was driving, received Mary's call.

After hanging up, Huang Zhi Cheng slammed the steering wheel hard and pulled over to the side of the road, his face full of unwillingness.

An hour later, Gao Jin returned to Chen Mo's office with the suitcase.

"Mo Ge, the money's back."

"How did it go? Any loose ends?"

No, the little brother got the money with his face covered, the car was also a plate-switched car, they can't find us. But at the beginning someone was following us, it doesn't look like it was arranged by Han Chen.

No problem, it's probably arranged by Han Chen's wife, don't worry about it. Give the little brother tonight some bonus. You just forget it, leave the money with you, use it if you want.

Inside a hotel room in Jianshazui.

Huang Zhi Cheng and mary sat opposite each other, both with solemn expressions.

The door was knocked, Huang Zhi Cheng got up to open it.

Han Chen entered, directly pulled out a gun and pointed it at Huang Zhi Cheng's head.

You bastard, you want to overthrow the Ni Family, why drag mary into this?

"A Chen, calm down first. Let's talk properly about whatever it is." Huang Zhi Cheng showed no fear at all.

mary also came over and grabbed Han Chen's arm: "A Chen, forget it, things are already like this, blaming him won't help."

"After all, this matter is my fault, I've been caught with a handle."

"What does it have to do with you, it's all that bastard's fault."

Han Chen put away his gun under mary's persuasion, but his gaze at Huang Zhi Cheng remained full of anger.

The three of them grew up together since childhood, but Han Chen and Huang Zhi Cheng took two completely different paths.

Originally, out of their youthful friendship, Han Chen would occasionally give Huang Zhi Cheng some modest information to help him achieve merit and promotion.

Never expected Huang Zhi Cheng's ambition to be so great; for the sake of merit, he actually stirred up so many troubles.

When Han Chen sat down, Huang Zhi Cheng asked: "Who exactly called to threaten you guys, did you find anything tonight?"

Han Chen glared at Huang Zhi Cheng: "No, but it seems the other side is just after money, no need to worry too much. We should still be safe for now."

"No, as long as that handle is in the other side's hands for a day, we won't have a moment's peace. What if they come again next time for money?" mary frowned and said.

"We still need to resolve Ni Yongxiao as soon as possible; only when the Ni Family falls will we be safe."

Huang Zhi Cheng was still thinking about seizing the opportunity to gain merit, and he said: "You guys quickly gather some evidence on the Ni Family and hand it to me, so I can also contribute."

Huang Zhi Cheng's little thoughts, Han Chen couldn't fail to notice, he said impatiently: "I'll handle this matter myself, no need to trouble Huang sir. As long as you don't cause me trouble, I'll be grateful."
