Chapter 137: Ambush, Counterkill

Chen Mo finished a cigarette, and Mary had calmed down pretty much.

After all, he's already in his thirties, his tolerance is still decent.

Chen Mo straightened his clothes, stood up and said, "Take care of yourself, I'll arrange a driver, and later you'll lead the way to get the money."

After speaking, Chen Mo ignored Mary on the floor and walked out of the office alone.

The moment Chen Mo left the office, Mary looked up, her eyes full of hatred fixed on his back.

A dozen minutes later, Chen Mo returned.

Mary had already dressed and was sitting on the sofa waiting for Chen Mo.

"Let's go. Once I get the money, you can leave."

Mary stood from the sofa, walked to Chen Mo, and said, "I hope you keep your word and help me kill the Ni Family members for revenge."

"Don't worry, I always keep my word."

In the car, Chen Mo and Mary sat in the back seat while Shen Guodong drove ahead toward the Tunmen countryside.

After passing a few remote lanes, the vehicle arrived at a secluded wooden cabin by the sea.

"The environment here isn't bad."

After getting out, Chen Mo didn't rush with Mary to get the money; instead, he began to take in the surroundings.

Mary stood beside Chen Mo, looking at the house, and said wistfully, "This is the house Han Chen built himself; he comes here to meditate and chant sutras when he has time."

"Ha, how funny," Chen Mo mocked, "A drug dealer actually believes in Buddhism; he wouldn't be afraid of being laughed at if anyone heard."

"If casually reciting sutras could easily wash away his sins, wouldn't the monks in those temples be able to spiral up to heaven on the spot?"

"You…." Hearing Chen Mo mock Han Chen, Mary instinctively wanted to get angry, but reason kept her from shouting.

After looking at the scenery for a while, Chen Mo asked, "The money is hidden in this house?"

"Of course not," Mary denied. "Although it's remote, many people know about this cabin; Han Chen wouldn't hide the money here."

Mary pointed to a distant forest and said, "The money is hidden in that woods. I only recall the general spot, but the tree where the money is buried has a mark; I can look for it."

Following Mary's finger, Chen Mo saw that the forest was only a hundred or so meters from the cabin and was very dense.

"Alright, I hope you won't play any tricks on me."

There was only a footpath from the cabin to the forest, unsuitable for a car. The three followed it and entered the woods after a few minutes.

"Where's the money?"

"I'm looking."

After entering the woods, Mary began inspecting the surrounding trunks, continuously leading the two deeper into the forest.

Chen Mo gave Shen Guodong a subtle signal and walked forward behind Mary.

Seeing Chen Mo's signal, Shen Guodong frowned and silently moved his right hand toward the pistol at his waist.

A few minutes later.

"Found it," Mary said, pointing at a tree and turning to Chen Mo. "It's this tree; the money is buried beneath it."

"Is that so?" Chen Mo replied coldly, showing no hint of pleasure.

"What do you mean?"

Mary also noticed something off about Chen Mo at this moment.

"What, it's only been a day, and you're addicted to acting? We're already here, why haven't you called out the hidden person yet?"

Hearing Chen Mo's words, Mary's demeanor shifted; fatigue vanished, and she became a noble, aloof figure. Facing Chen Mo, her eyes were full of contempt and murderous intent.

"Beep—"

Mary placed a finger near her mouth and whistled a sharp note.

Over a dozen Siamese burst out of the forest, brandishing AKs with their barrels aimed at Chen Mo.

Chen Mo simply stood there, unmoving, his icy gaze fixed on the approaching Siamese.

Shen Guodong quickly drew his gun, positioning himself in front of Chen Mo, the barrel pointed at Mary.

A Siamese approached Mary and, in broken Gangdao speech, said, "Miss Mary, it's time for you to fulfill your promise. Where is Han Chen's money?"

"The money is buried under this tree; dig it yourselves. As long as you kill Chen Mo, the money is yours."

The Siamese gave a contemptuous glance at Chen Mo and Shen Guodong nearby, treating them as irrelevant with a single gun.

"They're now fish on a cutting board; once I get the money, I can kill them at any time."

Chen Mo isn't an ordinary person; he still intends to extort a sum.

The Siamese waved his hand, and two men behind him lowered their guns and began digging.

Soon, a solid suitcase tightly wrapped in plastic was unearthed from under the tree.

A Siamese opened the suitcase and showed the money inside to the leader.

The leading Siamese nodded, looked at Mary, and said, "Miss Mary is very trustworthy."

Chen Mo stepped out from behind Shen Guodong, looked at Mary and the Siamese opposite, and laughed, "Do you think you've underestimated me that much? Are you so sure you've got me cornered?"

"Chen Mo, we're already here; do you think you can still walk out alive?" Mary's tone was icy, full of murderous intent. "You killed Han Chen; today I'll kill you to avenge him!"

"Is that so?" Chen Mo sneered. "You don't think I came here without any preparation, do you?"

As soon as Chen Mo finished speaking, he quickly pulled Shen Guodong behind a tree.

Meanwhile, "Bang—bang—bang—bang…" a continuous barrage of gunfire rang from the direction they had come.

The Siamese didn't even get a chance to fire; they were shot down one after another.

But after a few seconds, only Mary was still standing.

Over a dozen veterans, led by Li Jie, quickly approached and began examining the bodies on the ground.

Chen Mo, with Shen Guodong, emerged from behind the tree and walked up to Mary.

"You think your petty tricks can fool me?"

mary's face was bitter: "When did you discover it?"

She thought her plan was excellent, using herself and that money as bait to lure Chen Mo here, so that the Siamese people lying in ambush here would kill him.

Unexpectedly, Chen Mo had already prepared, and had been secretly tailing someone from behind.

Chen Mo didn't mind letting mary die with understanding, saying: "I started suspecting you from the moment I caught you."

"Last night when we were seizing territory, my people swept the area on the first pass and drove off all of Han Chen's men; how could two of Han Chen's men suddenly appear later? And those two just happened to know your whereabouts."

"Everything is too coincidental, so coincidental that I can't help but suspect."

"Do you know when I realized you deliberately let me catch you?"

"When?" mary no longer thought Chen Mo would let her go, but she wanted to die with understanding.

Chen Mo smiled slightly and continued: "When you asked me to help you take revenge."

"Luo Ji has served the Ni Family for many years and is reliable, but he would not go to rescue Ni Yongxiao's wife and mother."

"Why?" mary did not understand.

Luo Ji has been with the Ni Family for many years, always willing to work hard and bear resentment, utterly loyal.

She thought it reasonable to say that Luo Ji had saved the Ni Family members.
