Chapter 189: A Show of Force

In the evening, Jingkun took Chen Mo to see Lei Gong.

Chen Mo originally planned to go alone, but after thinking, he also brought Tian Yang Sheng and Tian Yang Yi.

This meeting might be even bigger than the conflict in the plot when Jiang Tiansheng met Lei Gong.

Although Chen Mo was confident Lei Gong wouldn't dare to act against them, it's better to be prepared!

What if Lei Gong loses his temper!

The meeting place is a nightclub in Jianshazui.

Lei Gong's people had already booked the venue, even the underlings who were supposed to watch the scene at the nightclub were driven away.

The entire nightclub only had Lei Gong's people.

When Chen Mo and Jingkun arrived at the nightclub, two Black Wing bodyguards stood on either side of the entrance, very solemn.

Seeing the scene, Chen Mo couldn't help but remark, "Tsk tsk tsk, is Lei Gong this arrogant?"

Jingkun also couldn't help but frown: "Damn, this old bastard won't just take us out right here in the nightclub, will he?"

Chen Mo pursed his lips.

"Don't worry, we've come all this way.

"Once we're in Gangdao, even if he borrowed three times the courage, he might not dare to move against us."

Ha Li followed behind Jingkun, while Tian Yang Sheng and Tian Yang Yi followed behind Chen Mo; the five of them were about to enter the entrance when suddenly the two guards at the door stopped them.

"Gentlemen, this place is booked for tonight."

Chen Mo frowned and said, "We are the guests invited by Lei Gong; do we need to report in first?"

"Please wait a moment!"

Having said that, a guard hurried into the nightclub.

Soon, Lei Gong's personal bodyguard Gao Jie came out.

Gao Jie walked straight up to Jingkun and said respectfully, "Hello, Mr. Li; Mr. Lei is waiting for you inside."

"Lead the way ahead!"

Jingkun, who had just been stopped outside, couldn't muster a good attitude toward Gao Jie now.

"Wait a moment!"

As soon as Jingkun entered, Chen Mo and the others were stopped.

"We need to search you; please cooperate!"

"What do you mean by this?" Chen Mo narrowed his eyes and coldly stared at the guard blocking the way.

Gao Jie turned his head and said with a slight apology, "We're also considering Lei Gong's safety! Please understand!"

"Screw your understanding!"

Jingkun unleashed a torrent of abuse at Gao Jie.

"You invited me here, then you pull this? Are you messing with me?"

"Believe it or not, I'll make sure you can't leave Gangdao!"

Chen Mo let out a cold snort and said in a sarcastic tone, "Brother Jingkun, it seems they don't intend to meet us; they're just playing with us. Let's go back."

Having said that, Chen Mo made a move to turn around.

Seeing that they were about to leave, Gao Jie hurriedly apologized, "Really sorry, Lei Gong truly has sincere intentions to meet Mr. Li."

"The search was my oversight."

"I apologize to you all, and I ask Mr. Li and everyone to forgive me; don't stoop to my level."

Having said that, Gao Jie bowed ninety degrees toward them.

Seeing Gao Jie's attitude change, Jingkun's angry expression gradually faded.

"Once we're in Gangdao, don't be so arrogant!"

"A Mo, since we're already here, let's go in and have a look!"

Chen Mo followed behind Jingkun into the nightclub, and as he passed Gao Jie, he let out a cold snort.

After they entered, Gao Jie quickly caught up with Jingkun, Chen Mo and the others, walking ahead to lead the way.

In the private room, Lei Gong sat on the sofa, beside him a very beautiful woman—Ding Yao.

Behind them, many bodyguards stood with hands clasped behind their backs.

After Jingkun, Chen Mo and the others entered the private room, Lei Gong, accompanied by Ding Yao, rose and extended his right hand toward Jingkun across the tea table.

"Mr. Li, I've long heard of your great name."

Jingkun smiled and shook hands with Lei Gong.

"Your great name, Mr. Lei, is also like thunder in my ears!"

After a simple round of mutual business praise, they both sat down on the sofa.

Chen Mo casually picked a seat and sat down as well.

Ha Li stood behind Jingkun, while Tian Yang Sheng and Tian Yang Yi stood behind Chen Mo.

Lei Gong looked somewhat surprised at Chen Mo and asked, "Who is this?"

Jingkun introduced, "This is the head of our Great Prosperity Wang Jiao District, Chen Mo. I brought him here to see the world."

"A Mo, this is Lei Gong, Mr. Lei."

Lei Gong originally thought Chen Mo was a lackey brought by Jingkun, but he didn't expect it to actually be Chen Mo.

He had also heard of Chen Mo's reputation during these few days he's been in Gangdao.

"At such a young age, you're already the head of Great Prosperity; your future is limitless!"

Chen Mo gave a slight nod in thanks: "Mr. Lei, you overpraise me."

Afterward, Chen Mo just sat there watching Jingkun and Lei Gong chat.

Jingkun was not Jiang Tiansheng.

Jiang Tiansheng had the intention of cleaning up his act; he would chat with Thunder Lord about political topics or business matters.

Jingkun was a pure Triad Society man; all he talked about was the white powder market in Wandao and Gangdao.

Unfortunately, Chen Mo had zero interest in white powder. Unable to get a word in, Chen Mo could only smoke in boredom while appreciating Ding Yao's cleavage.

Likewise, Ding Yao would also glance at Chen Mo from time to time, occasionally returning a shy smile.

If Chen Mo hadn't already known this woman's true face, he might really have been fooled by her appearance.

But Chen Mo had to admit, this woman was too alluring.

That mix of pure and seductive vibe—none of Chen Mo's women could compare.

After Thunder Lord and Jingkun chatted idly for a while, the topic gradually shifted to serious matters.

"Mr. Li, some time ago, Shanji, the hall master of our United Alliance's Viper Hall, brought quite a few brothers to Gangdao, but they were tragically killed.

According to my investigation, it seems Mr. Li made the move. Am I right?"

The smile on Jingkun's face slowly faded.

"That's right. Shanji was taken out by my men."

Shanji had been hacked to death on the street; plenty of people had seen it, so denying it was useless for Jingkun.

Of course, Jingkun hadn't planned to deny it either.

"I wonder how they offended Mr. Li? If Mr. Li wanted to kill someone from our United Alliance, shouldn't you have given me a heads-up first?"

"Shanji was originally a Forty-Niner of our Great Prosperity. He didn't complete the task assigned to him by the Triad Society, and to escape punishment from the Society, he just ran off.

A few days ago, he returned to Gangdao. I acted only to clean house."

"But now he's one of our United Alliance's men!" Thunder Lord's voice gradually turned cold. "The men he brought were also members of our United Alliance. Mr. Li's housecleaning shouldn't extend to our United Alliance, should it?"

"Speaking of those men, I'd like to ask Mr. Thunder something. Shanji brought those men to hang out with a guy who was expelled from our Great Prosperity, and they were plotting to make a move on me.

I wonder if this was Mr. Thunder's intention?"

"Is that so? I don't know anything about this. Shanji's return to Gangdao this time was to return home in glory. He brought those men only to protect his own safety."

Thunder Lord only wanted to pin a hat on Jingkun to facilitate his upcoming negotiations; he had no intention of making an enemy of Jingkun.

"Mr. Li says Shanji wanted to make a move on you. Do you have any evidence?"

Chen Mo raised an eyebrow. Another one asking for evidence?

Since when did the underworld need evidence to do things?

"Do I need evidence for something like this?" Jingkun sneered. "I can't exactly wait until after Shanji makes a move on me to take revenge, can I? If that were the case, I'm afraid the Dragon Head of Great Prosperity that Mr. Thunder meets would be someone else.

Besides, Mr. Thunder says their plot against me has nothing to do with you. Does Mr. Thunder have evidence?"
