Chapter 138: Fame Echoes Through the Jianghu

Because Luo Ji has always been a police undercover, the Ni Family is now destroyed; he may have already been recalled to the police force, so how could he go rescue anyone?

If I'm not mistaken, Ni Yongxiao's mother and wife have already been killed by these Siamese, right!

In my office you first pretended to be fearless, then tried to hide this cash, and finally asked me to help you take revenge; it was all just to lower my guard toward you.

Little did you know, the more you do, the more mistakes you make. If you hadn't asked me to help you take revenge, I might not have been so sure you were acting.

Now, do you regret it? Just because of that one mistake, you not only messed up your own plan, but also put yourself in danger.

Another murder, another heart‑rending act.

Mary now feels full of despair and regret.

A single step's difference, the whole game is lost.

"Chen Mo, you damned bastard!"

Mary let out a roar, lunged at the nearby Siamese corpse, trying to grab the gun beside it.

Unfortunately, as a weak woman in front of Chen Mo, she had no chance to take the gun.

With a "Bang" of a gunshot, Shen Guodong beside Chen Mo fired a shot that hit Mary in the chest.

Chen Mo walked to Mary's side, looked at the barely living Mary on the ground, and sighed, "Before Han Chen died, I told him to have enough fun with you before sending you to meet him; I really am too trustworthy!"

Mary then realized that Han Chen neither died at the hands of the Ni Family nor the police, but was killed by Chen Mo.

Unfortunately, she's about to die, and now she can't even utter a harsh word.

When Mary gasped her last breath, Chen Mo instructed Shen Guodong, "Throw her corpse into that pit and bury it."

"What about the corpses of those Siamese?"

"Just leave them here, no need to worry. Take those AKs back; they're good stuff."

Last time at Longgutan, to leave a complete scene for Huang Bingyao, we didn't take those guns.

These dozen‑plus AKs can't just be thrown away; they're all good stuff.

When we get back to Wang Jiao, it'll already be noon.

After a morning, the new power distribution in Jianshazui has already spread across the whole Gangdao.

Chen Mo's name caused a huge stir in the Gangdao underworld.

A newly risen young man, relying on a few hundred members of his own hall, repelled the East Prosperity, Wang Bao, and United Victory factions in one night, successfully taking four streets in Jianshazui.

This is more than a miracle; it's downright a miracle.

All afternoon, Chen Mo's phone never stopped ringing.

All twelve top men of Great Prosperity, except Da B, called to congratulate.

Even some big bosses we chatted with briefly at meetings called.

Some big bosses even asked whether Chen Mo was recruiting, wanting to bring their subordinates out of the main hall to work under Chen Mo.

Chen Mo, of course, would not agree.

They aren't trying to join Chen Mo; they're clearly exploiting his manpower shortage to find a pretext to carve up his territory.

When they bring their subordinates over and settle on Jianshazui's turf, they act without listening to orders, and no one can stop them.

By then, whether Jianshazui's turf still counts as Chen Mo's is hard to say.

If Chen Mo were a greenhorn just out of the underworld, flattered by others, he might get lost and agree outright.

Fortunately, Chen Mo isn't a clueless rookie; he scared them off with his own salary system.

Although the money they take after arriving isn't less than now, the subordinates' wages are paid directly from the hall's main account, which they can't accept.

Anyone who becomes the boss isn't a fool. In the Triad Society, whoever pays the money is the real boss.

If the hall pays salaries, are the subordinates below still their subordinates? Have they become mere figureheads?

By the end, there was no longer any intention of coming to Chen Mo.

Until evening, Chen Mo, exhausted, put down the phone.

He knows clearly that these big bosses who claim to come to him, hoping to seize his territory, are likely incited and arranged by Jiang Tiansheng.

Only he could devise such a sinister scheme to weaken Chen Mo's strength.

Thinking of Jiang Tiansheng, Chen Mo picked up the phone and called Shen Guodong.

"Guodong, have you found any trace of Jiang Tiansheng these past few days?"

"No, Chen Yao still has brothers following him; besides going to the hall, he spends most of his time at home and rarely goes out."

Shen Guodong's words surprised Chen Mo somewhat.

"Keep watching; once you spot Jiang Tiansheng, tell me immediately."

Jiang Tiansheng has caused him so much trouble; he must find a way to give Jiang Tiansheng a little trouble in return.

After hanging up, Chen Mo checked the time; it was past six, time to go home.

The night before last I slept at Sandy's place, the previous night at Ah Run's and Liu Piaopiao's, last night I was out cutting people; it's inappropriate not to go home tonight.

As soon as he entered the house, Qiu Di immediately greeted him, reached out to take Chen Mo's coat, but said something sarcastic.

"Yo, you actually came back? I thought you got a new home out there!"

Chen Mo grabbed Qiu Di, gave her a smack on the face, "When did your guts get fat? You learned to say weird things."

"You were cutting people all night last night; sniff, does your clothes still smell of blood?"

Qiu Di immediately, upon hearing that, disgustedly tossed Chen Mo's clothes aside, "Eh, I won't smell it; it stinks to death."

"Isn't it class time now? Why aren't you attending remedial classes?"

"Ah Min's school has a celebration in a few days; she has to work overtime these days, she'll come over after the celebration ends.

Gang Sheng sister is cooking; you rest first, dinner will be ready soon."

"Alright, consider these days as your vacation."

Chen Mo didn't ask further, and, hugging Qiu Di, sat on the sofa to watch TV.

Soon, the meal was ready.

"Mo Ge, Qiu Di, time to eat!" Gang Sheng called out from the dining room.

As a girl who grew up on the northern continent, Gang Sheng was an excellent cook, rivaling even some of the restaurants outside.

Before transmigrating, Chen Mo hadn't been a Gangdao person. Compared to the food from outside restaurants, Chen Mo still felt that Gang Sheng's cooking suited his taste better.

During the meal, Chen Mo asked, seemingly casually, "What day is Teacher He's school anniversary?"

"I think it's this Sunday. Why?" Qiu Di answered offhandedly.

Gang Sheng's expression shifted, and she asked with a hint of jealousy, "Mo Ge, do you miss A Min?"

"What are you saying!" Chen Mo glared at Gang Sheng. "I was just asking casually."

Whether or not that was his intention, he couldn't admit it to their faces.

That was basic respect for Gang Sheng and Qiu Di.

Even though the two of them didn't object to Chen Mo pursuing He Min.

"If you want to go, then go. They say clothes are best old, people are best new—those words really aren't wrong."

"Exactly. Qiu Di and I have long gotten used to you liking the new and discarding the old. You said you'd always be good to me, and how long has it been? Now you're asking about another woman right in front of me."

As Gang Sheng spoke, she put on a show of wiping away tears that didn't exist.

Chen Mo took one look and thought, hey, the nerve of her—playing the innocent victim with me.

"That's enough from you two. Don't make me subject you both to harsh punishment during dinner."

"Oh!"

Frightened by Chen Mo's threat, Gang Sheng and Qiu Di settled down and ate properly.

They knew all too well how severe Chen Mo's "harsh punishment" could be. If they really caused trouble, they could forget about dinner.

After the meal, Gang Sheng cleared the dishes and chopsticks, while Qiu Di ran to the bathroom to wash Chen Mo's clothes.

Chen Mo sat down on the sofa and started watching television.

This kind of life was what life was all about.
