Chapter 206: Killing the Heart (Please Rate Favorably)

These photos quickly made their way into the hands of Jiang Tiansheng and Chen Yao.

The two immediately recognized that they were their men.

This time, both of them were a little unsettled.

Jiang Tiansheng suppressed the fear in his heart, barely maintaining his composure: "A Mo, in a few days I'm going to negotiate with the Triad Alliance. Wouldn't it be better not to stir up more trouble now?"

Chen Mo smiled: "Mr. Jiang, if you had already started negotiations with the Triad Alliance, I wouldn't have even brought this up today.

But, you haven't gone to Macau yet, have you!

Jingkun is, after all, the Dragon Head of our Great Prosperity. Since we have traces of the killers, it seems unreasonable not to avenge him!"

"Besides, taking these people out won't just avenge Jingkun—it'll also show the Triad Alliance our strength, and give them a scare to keep them honest in negotiations. That's killing two birds with one stone!"

The other branch leaders nodded one after another upon hearing Chen Mo's words.

Han Bin agreed: "I think A Mo makes sense. Let's just take out this bunch and show the Triad Alliance what we're made of, so they don't get clever during negotiations."

"Right, right, right, we have to take them out. Damn it, it's this group that made me run naked in the street and lose so much face.

Now the hostesses at the nightclub aren't even as warm to me as before!"

Chui Shui Ji had hated the Triad Alliance deeply ever since the last attack, so naturally he supported Chen Mo making a move.

Seeing everyone insist, Jiang Tiansheng could only nod in agreement.

"Alright, since we're all of one mind, then let's issue a kill order for Great Prosperity. Have the underlings get to work and find these people as soon as possible."

In Jiang Tiansheng's view, although the photos had captured these people's faces, finding them would still take some time.

As long as he could arrange for these people to leave Gangdao quickly, Chen Mo wouldn't be able to do anything about them.

Once the heat died down, he could just arrange for them to come back.

Only, he hadn't expected that Chen Mo wouldn't give him that chance.

"Actually, there's no need for all that trouble."

"Hasn't everyone noticed that Shen Guodong, who's always been with me, isn't here?"

Amidst the surprised looks from Jiang Tiansheng and Chen Yao, Chen Mo said slowly: "Before I came to the meeting, my men had already found traces of these people.

Shen Guodong has taken people to handle it."

Chen Mo looked up at the clock hanging on the wall of the main hall and continued: "If you count the time, it should be done by now."

As Chen Mo's words fell, the phone on Da Tou behind him rang.

Da Tou answered it, listened for a moment, then handed the phone to Chen Mo.

"Mo Ge, it's Brother Dong."

Chen Mo took the phone and put it to his ear.

"Guodong, how's it going?"

"Mo Ge, over twenty men, all taken care of. No survivors."

The mobile phone had terrible sound leakage—not only Chen Mo heard it, but all the other branch leaders present did too.

Jiang Tiansheng and Chen Yao also heard it loud and clear.

Shen Guodong's reply struck Jiang Tiansheng and Chen Yao's hearts like a thunderbolt.

Jiang Tiansheng almost couldn't maintain his facade!

Those men were the elite gunmen he had been secretly hiding!

Every single one of them could have gone out as a hitman and taken jobs.

And they were just taken out by Chen Mo's men?

Chen Mo looked at Jiang Tiansheng and grinned: "Mr. Jiang, you heard that, right? It's already been handled."

"Good... good... A Mo, you've done very well."

Jiang Tiansheng clenched both hands tightly under the table, rage and murderous intent surging in his heart, the smile on his face starting to stiffen.

"A Mo, you're amazing! You've really avenged me! I'd like to see if the Triad Alliance still dares to be so arrogant now!"

Chui Shui Ji, unaware of the hidden truth, began heaping praise on Chen Mo.

The other branch leaders also lavished praise on Chen Mo, making Jiang Tiansheng even more furious inside.

But no matter how angry he was, he couldn't show it.

"Mr. Jiang, my men killed the murderers of Jingkun. That should count as a merit for the Triad Society, right? Shouldn't the Society give some kind of reward?"

Killing the heart!

Chen Mo was killing the heart!

Not only do I take out your men, I make you praise me for doing a good job, and make you reward me—doesn't that piss you off?

Heaven knows how much Jiang Tiansheng wanted to kill Chen Mo right then.

But he couldn't. He could only endure, even if he had to endure the unendurable.

"You're right, we should reward you well. What reward do you want for your underlings?"

"Shen Guodong has rendered such great service this time, so let him get promoted. Dragon Head, you can throw in a little bonus too—that's not too much, is it?"

"Not too much, of course not! How about this: at the next meeting, bring your men, and I'll promote them.

Also, I'll waive one month's dues for your Wang Jiao branch. You can distribute it among your people yourself."

With things having come this far, the only thing Jiang Tiansheng could do was to be as generous as possible.

Maybe he could even earn a little good reputation.

The smile on Chen Mo's face grew even brighter.

"Thank you, Mr. Jiang. With you being so generous, I'm sure the underlings will work even harder in the future."

Only now did this meeting come to an end.

When Chen Mo and the others left the main hall, Jiang Tiansheng and Chen Yao still hadn't come out.

After everyone in the main hall left, Jiang Tiansheng gritted his teeth and instructed Chen Yao: "A Yao, call them and see if they really got into trouble."

"Fine… fine… I'll call right away."

Chen Yao took out his phone and quickly dialed a number.

After waiting for a while, no one answered.

He tried another number, but still no one answered.

"That's enough, stop calling!" Jiang Tiansheng stopped Chen Yao, who was about to dial again. "They were probably really taken out by Chen Mo's people!"

Jiang Tiansheng stared into Chen Yao's eyes, his tone icy: "A Yao, tell me, does Chen Mo want to become Great Prosperity's Dragon Head?"

Chen Yao put down the phone, looked at Jiang Tiansheng, and carefully said, "Probably… probably doesn't want to, I guess?"

"Why?"

Chen Yao felt a chill in his heart under Jiang Tiansheng's gaze and swallowed reflexively.

"If he wants to be the Dragon Head, when I propose that you return to be the Dragon Head, he won't agree."

"Moreover, he's been conducting legitimate business; it looks more like he's planning to clean his slate and go legit."

After hearing Chen Yao's answer, Jiang Tiansheng closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and exhaled slowly.

"Want to clean his slate… fine, if he wants to clean his slate he won't want to be the Dragon Head. As long as he doesn't want to be the Dragon Head, I can tolerate him for now."

Meanwhile, in Chen Mo's car.

Da Tou was driving up front, Chen Mo sat in the passenger seat, and behind them were Shisanmei and Han Bin.

"A Mo, the stunt you pulled today really got Jiang Tiansheng angry!"

"It's true, I saw the blue veins on his neck bulge out, and he still pretended nothing was wrong; I couldn't help but want to laugh."

The fact that Jingkun was taken out by Jiang Tiansheng's men wasn't hidden from Shisanmei and Han Bin by Chen Mo at all.

They naturally also knew that the people Shen Guodong eliminated were Jiang Tiansheng's subordinates.

"So, A Mo, Jiang Tiansheng isn't a magnanimous person; aren't you afraid he'll retaliate against you?"

Shisanmei was somewhat worried about Chen Mo's actions.

She could say she had been in contact with Great Prosperity's people since childhood, and was among the first few to know Jiang Tiansheng.

From her understanding of Jiang Tiansheng, he would never settle the matter peacefully.

Chen Mo looked out the car window and said through the intercom: "Sister Shisan, don't worry. I deliberately let Jiang Tiansheng see that I'm aware of his little scheming."

"If he dares to make a move against me, I don't mind giving Great Prosperity a new Dragon Head."
