Chapter 175: Jingkun Makes a Move

Thirteen Sister took out her phone and dialed Chen Mo's number.

"Ah Mo, busy or not?" Thirteen Sister said with a tone of pride.

As soon as he heard Thirteen Sister's tone of voice, Chen Mo guessed she had gained quite a few benefits.

"Haha, sis, how much benefit did you get?"

Chen Hao Nan always had people from Chen Mo following him around. At today's gathering, there were also Chen Mo's people watching outside the restaurant.

Those gang leaders finally left with money in hand, and Chen Mo already knew it all too clearly.

"I took ten million, Han Bin took fifteen million. I also owe you a lot for giving us a heads‑up beforehand; otherwise I wouldn't dare take that much."

"Later I'll give you half of it."

"No need, sis, keep it yourself. This was given to you by Chen Hao Nan and Shan Ji, it has nothing to do with me."

"It's only a few million; Chen Mo now doesn't even put that amount of money in his eyes."

"Compared to money, now no one in Great Prosperity has more money than Chen Mo."

"We promised Chen Hao Nan today that when he makes a move on Jingkun later, we'll stand by and watch, while they plan to split Jingkun's turf in Wang Jiao. What are you going to do?"

Chen Mo heard this and raised his eyebrows.

"Still want to carve up Jingkun's territory? Dream on, have you even asked me?"

"Sis, rest easy, you and Han Bin don't need to worry about the rest. If they really move against Jingkun, you and Han Bin just watch the show."

"They want to act against Jingkun, but they also need the opportunity to do so."

"To avoid suspicion that Thirteen Sister and Han Bin leaked the news, Chen Mo waited two days before calling Jingkun."

"Brother Kun, what have you been busy with lately?"

"Ah Mo, what's up?"

Jingkun's voice sounded weak and listless, not sure if it's from overwork lately.

"I have some news to report to you, is there no one around on your end?"

"Just wait a moment!"

From Jingkun's phone came a few chaotic footsteps, then it went quiet again.

"In a few days my mother is having a birthday celebration; I was just busy setting the menu. Now go ahead and speak."

"Brother Kun, do you still remember Shan Ji?"

"I have an impression—wasn't he always a little punk following Chen Hao Nan? I thought he had run away."

"Exactly, it's him. A few days ago, one of my little brothers happened to see him again in Gangdao, and he looked like he had struck it rich."

"I inquired around and heard he fled to the Three United Gang and is now a hall master there."

"This time he returned to Gangdao, but he brought back quite a few people."

Jingkun sounded a bit surprised: "Really? I didn't know that. What is he back here to do?"

"Who knows, but maybe he's come back to take revenge for Da B. These days the rumor on the streets is that you, Brother Kun, killed Da B, so watch out for him moving against you."

"Damn! I'm the Dragon Head—how would I lay a hand on Da B? It's all rumors!"

Regarding the matter of foolish Da B, Jingkun would never admit to anything.

"Of course, Brother Kun wouldn't lay a hand on his own brothers. However, Chen Hao Nan and Shan Ji aren't reasonable people—who knows what they'll do. Brother Kun, you'd better be careful."

Chen Mo didn't tell Jingkun the whereabouts of Shan Ji and his crew.

If he told Jingkun everything, it would seem deliberate.

Jingkun himself has plenty of subordinates; if he wants to investigate, he'll surely be able to find out.

If he can't even track down Shan Ji and Chen Hao Nan's movements, then the only thing to say is that Jingkun deserves to die.

"Got it, thanks. Later I'll have my little brother send you an invitation; come over for the feast in a few days."

"Great! Then I'll send a golden longevity peach to your aunt!"

Chen Mo estimated that it probably wouldn't be long before Jingkun could find out where Chen Hao Nan, Shan Ji, and their group are staying.

According to reports from Chen Mo's subordinates, Chen Hao Nan, Shan Ji, and their group never intended to hide their whereabouts.

Their usual conduct is not much better than that of some newly fledged hotheads.

After all, Shan Ji is now a newly rich poor person, completely possessing the mentality of a upstart.

Apart from not having seized territory by force, they haven't had few quarrels with some small societies.

The people under Shan Ji are all from Wan Island; their accents and living habits differ greatly from the locals.

Trying to locate these people's movements in Gangdao is practically too easy.

In the movie plot, Jingkun knew nothing about Shan Ji's return to Gangdao, entirely because Jingkun was too arrogant, never took Chen Hao Nan seriously, and never paid attention to whether Chen Hao Nan had taken any small actions.

Moreover, the foolish Qiang around him had been bribed, so a lot of news never reached Jingkun's ears.

Now it's completely different.

With Chen Mo's reminder, Jingkun replaced all his close little brothers, and the foolish Qiang was also dealt with.

Furthermore, he also actively sent people to seek out the traces of Chen Hao Nan, Shan Ji, and their group.

That afternoon, Jingkun's little brothers found the hideout of Shan Ji's underlings.

"Damn it, Chen Hao Nan, this little punk, truly ungrateful. I let him off the hook, yet he actually wants revenge!"

After Jingkun received the little brother's report, he was filled with rage.

"How many do they have?"

"According to the innkeeper, there are about fifty or sixty of them. Moreover, that group might be carrying guns."

Jingkun heard this and furrowed his brows tightly.

"This is certainly not good news."

"If it's fifty or sixty thugs, he can easily send people to take care of them."

But fifty or sixty gunmen are not that easy to deal with.

Let's not discuss how capable these gunmen are; just say that once they open fire, they will surely attract the police's attention.

Afterwards, trouble is inevitable.

After consideration, Jingkun still decided to strike first.

The lethal power of these dozens of gunmen is too great.

If they strike first at Jingkun, Jingkun would also be in great danger.

Although Jingkun doesn't know why these people have been in Gangdao for many days without moving against him.

But he knows that the conflict between him and Chen Hao Nan, Shan Ji, and others cannot be resolved.

Those people will eventually act against him.

Time quietly arrived at the later part of the night.

Outside the hotel where Shan Ji's men were staying, a group of people crept over.

These people were also holding guns.

Unlike the uniform pistols of Shan Ji's men, this group had both long and short guns; although somewhat mixed, their firepower was considerably greater than that of pistols.

"Charge!"

At the leader's command, a group of people flung open the hotel's main door and rushed straight inside.

The hotel had three floors and dozens of rooms.

Going down the corridor, as they passed each room, they kicked the door open and fired two shots at the spot where the bed was.

"Pop," "bang bang," "pew pew..."

"Crackle"

The sounds of doors being kicked, gunfire, and screams came one after another without cease.

Many of Shan Ji's men were taken out while still asleep.

Some people in rooms farther back were awakened by the gunfire, realized something was wrong, immediately grabbed their pistols, rushed out of their rooms, and began to counterattack.

Unfortunately, whether in numbers or weapon power, Shan Ji's men were at a disadvantage.

Especially since they were the side ambushed, they were already at a great loss.

The gunfire lasted only a few minutes before gradually dying down.

Jingkun's men lost over ten, while Shan Ji's men were completely wiped out.

"Take away the brothers' corpses, then set this place on fire."
