Chapter 120: Han Chen's Scheme

These gunmen were short, dark-skinned, with sharp faces and monkey-like features—they looked at a glance like they came from Southeast Asia. Even if they'd been left alive, it wouldn't necessarily have led to the people behind them.

However, Chen Mo had a rough guess—most likely it was the Ni Family who did it.

Among the factions that had grudges against him, only the Ni Family had the closest ties to Southeast Asia.

As for whether it was Ni Yongxiao or Han Chen, both were possible.

Chen Mo returned to the bar while Shen Guodong drove, taking the living captive to the Quanwan training ground.

Whether useful or not, they had to interrogate him first.

Within half a day, the news of Chen Mo being attacked by gunmen near the airport had spread across Gangdao.

Quite a few Great Prosperity bosses called to check on Chen Mo's situation, especially those who took counterfeit goods from him.

Even Jingkun called.

Chen Mo had just taken thirty-five million from him—if something happened to Chen Mo, his money would go down the drain.

"Little brother, I heard you were attacked. Are you alright?"

Huang Bingyao also called, so anxious he didn't even exchange code words.

"Don't worry, Sir Huang. Nothing happened at all—just a few small fry."

Hearing that Huang Bingyao still cared about him so much, Chen Mo felt a little touched.

Hearing that Chen Mo was fine, Huang Bingyao finally felt relieved. Chen Mo was now tied to his future—if something happened to him, how would he deal with the Ni Family?

"Do you know who did it?"

"I don't know. They look like people from Southeast Asia. You don't need to worry about it—I'll investigate myself."

"Then be careful. How are you planning to make your move on the Ni Family?"

After barely two sentences of concern, Huang Bingyao started asking about the Ni Family, and the small touch Chen Mo had felt immediately dissipated quite a bit.

"Soon. Just wait for my news."

Chen Mo didn't say much more to Huang Bingyao and hung up directly.

Right after hanging up, Shen Guodong arrived.

"Finished the interrogation?"

"Finished. He was tough—died without confessing anything. We can only confirm he was Siamese."

"Can the origins of those two cars be traced?"

"Can't trace them. I asked Da Sha—they didn't come from his hands. The other side probably just stole them off the street."

Some killers and provincial-Hong Kong flag soldiers who came to Gangdao for big jobs liked to randomly steal cars from the roadside, because it was convenient and fast, and no one could trace their origins.

But when Chen Mo heard Shen Guodong say that person was Siamese, he immediately locked onto two suspects.

The Ni Family kept their own gunmen, and on the Southeast Asia side they were relatively close to the Golden Triangle—they were unlikely to recruit people from Siam.

Han Chen, on the other hand, had good relations with the Siamese gangs. In the movie plot, he hid in Siam for a few years, protected by his Siamese friends.

These people were very likely arranged by him.

Chen Mo's other suspect was Jiang Tiansheng's brother—Jiang Tianyang, who had been raising elephants in Siam all along.

Ever since stepping down from the Great Prosperity Dragon Head position, Jiang Tiansheng had ostensibly said he went to the Netherlands.

But Chen Mo guessed that he had actually been lying low in Gangdao in secret all along.

Now that Chen Mo's business was getting better and better, and he had new cooperation with Jingkun, it was inevitable that it would draw Jiang Tiansheng's hostility.

His own people couldn't conveniently make a move, so asking his brother for a favor was also possible.

Between the two suspects, Chen Mo couldn't determine exactly who it was.

But it didn't matter—since he couldn't figure out who it was, he'd deal with both of them together.

"Are there any brothers at the training base who served as reconnaissance soldiers?"

"Yes. Among our people, nearly half served as reconnaissance soldiers."

"Good. Arrange a few brothers to help me keep a close watch on Han Chen and his wife Mary, as well as Huang Zhi Cheng at the Wang Jiao Police Station."

If you can catch Huang Zhi Cheng meeting with Han Chen and his wife, take photos for me."

"Yes!"

Although Shen Guodong found it strange why Huang Zhi Cheng would meet with Han Chen and his wife, he didn't ask further.

Before Gao Jin left, he had specifically instructed him that when it came to Chen Mo's arrangements, he should just carry them out directly without asking questions.

"Also, arrange some brothers to secretly follow Chen Yao and see if you can find any trace of Jiang Tiansheng."

The appearance of these gunmen today served as a wake-up call for Chen Mo.

He couldn't just keep waiting for Jiang Tiansheng to take out Jingkun the way it happened in the plot.

Because of his existence, reality had already more or less diverged from the plot—who knew whether Jiang Tiansheng might take care of him too.

He needed to seize the initiative.

At Han Chen's home, Han Chen received a phone call from Siam.

"Han Chen, why was that Chen Mo different from what you told me? Not only did he have a gun in hand, he also had experts by his side. All eight men I sent are dead."

The voice on the phone was full of anger.

Han Chen said with a hint of apology, "Paul, this time the problem was with my intelligence. I apologize to you. How about I go to Siam in a while to make amends to you in person?"

"Ah Chen, I consider you a friend, and I'm willing to help you. But friendship is friendship, and business is business."

"If you still want me to continue sending people over, the price doubles."

Han Chen thought for a moment and agreed, "Fine, but tell your people not to act rashly. After they arrive in Gangdao, contact me first—their actions will be arranged by me."

After a moment of silence on the other end of the phone, a voice came through: "Fine!"

After Han Chen hung up the phone, Mary walked to his side.

"Ah Chen, was the person who extorted us really Chen Mo?"

"It must be him! The people I placed on Xiao's side told me that Xiao had someone tail Chen Mo and even put his home under surveillance.

After that, I received a phone call, and Gan Di and Guohua also started fighting.

I'm guessing that Chen Mo's goal in extorting us probably wasn't money, but to force us to make a move on Xiao!"

Han Chen was indeed deeply scheming, having guessed most of Chen Mo's intentions.

"Too bad those Siamese didn't manage to kill him today!" Mary said with a face full of regret.

"No matter. If I'm not mistaken, Chen Mo won't tell Xiao about this matter. We still have a chance."

In Han Chen's view, there was bad blood between Chen Mo and Ni Yongxiao.

Though he didn't know exactly what had happened between the two, Chen Mo's goal was to force him to kill Ni Yongxiao.

Telling Ni Yongxiao that Mary killed Ni Kun would only make Ni Yongxiao guard against him, which ran counter to Chen Mo's purpose.

"Right now Gan Di, Guohua, and Hei Gui are fighting a complete mess, their strength greatly reduced. As long as we seize the chance to take out Xiao, Jianshazui will be yours to call the shots!"

"That's what I'm planning too. Paul's men already alerted the snake today, so Chen Mo will certainly be very cautious in the short term, and it's not convenient to make a move on him for now. I had Paul keep sending people precisely to deal with Xiao."

Although Guohua, Gan Di, and Hei Gui were all greatly weakened now, and Wen Cheng's strength had been weak to begin with, Han Chen was already the strongest among the Five Great Families.

But it was still far from enough to thoroughly replace the Ni Family's position.

At the very least, the other four Great Families would absolutely not submit to him.

Han Chen didn't just want to kill Ni Yongxiao; he also wanted to seize the opportunity to directly take out Guohua and the rest, so he could completely swallow their territories and truly replace the Ni Family.

Unfortunately, he had gotten one thing wrong.

Chen Mo was already preparing to tell Ni Yongxiao the truth about Ni Kun's death.

The reason Chen Mo hadn't told Ni Yongxiao about this matter before was because the Ni Family's strength far exceeded Han Chen's.

Chen Mo needed to weaken the Ni Family's strength and give Han Chen some time to prepare.

Now the three Great Families were already in chaos, and the Ni Family's outer forces existed in name only.

By Chen Mo's estimation, Han Chen had already been preparing for several days and should be about ready.

It was about time to let Ni Yongxiao and Han Chen face off head-on.
