Chapter 240: Flipping the Table

"I've been sitting here, putting up with you all this time—do you really think I'm a soft persimmon?"

I tell you, on my turf, the rules are what I say.

On my turf, no drugs are allowed; whatever the rule was before stays the same.

If any of your people dare bring drugs onto my turf, I'll kill one for each one I find.

"Don't believe me? Try it and see."

Chen Mo's blunt, table‑flipping remark caught everyone off guard.

Jiang Tiansheng also furrowed his brows and said coldly, "Ah Mo, what do you mean! We're here to help prove you haven't colluded with the police, and you're causing trouble now!"

Chen Mo let out a cold laugh.

"Colluding with the police? Just because you say I collude, does that make it so?"

I've cut people for the Triad Society, earned merits, seized turf, even served time. You say I collude with the police—do you think the jianghu will believe that? Will my thousands of underlings believe it?

Colluding with the police? That's downright laughable!

"Proof? Proof of what! If you have evidence that I colluded, bring it out; if not, shut your mouth!"

"Mr. Jiang, you said today that Wang Bao was willing to apologize to me, that you wanted a reconciliation, and I came over out of courtesy.

Now it seems that's not the case.

Since that's so, I won't stay any longer."

Having said that, Chen Mo stood up to leave.

Chen Mo had guessed before arriving that Jiang Tiansheng had ulterior motives; he only agreed to come to see what trouble he was planning.

After seeing Deng Fei and a few others, Chen Mo wanted to leave.

He only stayed to give these jianghu seniors some face, which is why he kept playing along here.

He didn't expect their appetite to be so big—they not only wanted to pin a label on Chen Mo, but also to run drugs on his turf.

Chen Mo only knocked over a teacup, not flipping the whole table, which was already a good temper.

"Stop!" Jiang Tiansheng slapped the table.

"I specifically invited a few seniors to resolve this conflict; Chen Mo, you want to leave now—aren't you being disrespectful to those seniors!"

"Exactly!" Bai Tou Weng also gave Chen Mo a cold stare, "We came today out of respect for Mr. Jiang. You want to leave before your matter is settled—you're not taking us seriously, are you!"

Chen Mo had just reached the private room entrance, stopped, turned back, and stared coldly at Bai Tou Weng.

"Bai Tou Weng, have I given you too much face? You think you're something special!

I told you earlier, if today you can't produce evidence that I'm a police undercover, I'll make sure you never see tomorrow's sun.

Seems you didn't take my words seriously.

You'd better keep one eye open while you sleep tonight."

Jiang Tiansheng is the Dragon Head, so Chen Mo can't openly insult him in front of everyone now. But Bai Tou Weng, Chen Mo really can't tolerate him any longer.

Just based on Dongxing's current strength in Gangdao, he's only a Bai Tou Weng; Chen Mo can scold him if he wants!

After berating Bai Tou Weng, Chen Mo turned his gaze to Deng Fei and Wang Bao.

"Regarding the conflict between me and Wang Bao, I stick to that same line.

As long as Wang Bao is willing to sip tea with me and apologize, and guarantees not to cause trouble on my turf again, I can overlook his past deeds.

Otherwise, Wang Bao, however you want to fight, I, Chen Mo, will take it on!"

Having said that, Chen Mo ignored Jiang Tiansheng, directly pulled open the private room door and walked out.

When Chen Mo left, Bai Tou Weng suddenly couldn't sit still.

"What does Chen Mo mean? What was he talking about just now?"

"Can't you tell what he means? He's going to kill you tonight!" Lian Haolong said gleefully from the side.

"I..." Bai Tou Weng began to fear, "Jiang Tiansheng, you invited us tonight—was it just to let Chen Mo humiliate us?"

He's one of your Great Prosperity men, and you just stand there letting him threaten me? Won't you intervene?"

Back then, two of his subordinates, despite heavy protection, were still taken down by Chen Mo's men.

He has no doubt that Chen Mo also has the ability to kill him.

In desperation, he's now only thinking of getting Jiang Tiansheng to deal with Chen Mo.

At this moment, Jiang Tiansheng's complexion was also grim.

Although Chen Mo didn't directly tear into him just now, he gave him no face at all.

Anyone present who isn't foolish can see he can't control Chen Mo.

Yet Bai Tou Weng kept bringing up that same point.

"Do you think Chen Mo will listen to me? If you ask me, you should go back and prepare for the aftermath."

Lian Haolong said with a smile, "Looks like being a middleman isn't easy; it can easily cause trouble."

Since Chen Mo has already left, I won't linger. Everyone, farewell.

Lian Haolong stood up and left.

"I won't stay either; if this kind of thing happens again, don't look for me!"

Bai Tou Weng also couldn't stay seated; he urgently needed to go back and hide himself, lest he be killed in the night.

In the private room, only Jiang Tiansheng, Deng Fei, and Wang Bao remained.

Their expressions were all grim.

Especially Wang Bao.

During this period, their underlings clashed with Chen Mo's men a few times, taking minor losses, but several drug caches were seized, causing a sizable loss.

He was asked to bow his head and apologize to Chen Mo, but he refused.

He also lacks confidence in winning a fight.

Tonight's result is not what Jiang Tiansheng told him earlier.

Wang Bao grew angrier the more he thought, and he slammed the table.

"Damn Chen Mo, if we fight, we fight—worst case, we both lose!"

"No!"

Jiang Tiansheng hurried to stop him.

He had previously spoken at the meeting, saying he would help Chen Mo deal with Wang Bao, but he had only delayed a few days before Chen Mo started spreading rumors.

If Wang Bao really went to war with Chen Mo, never mind how the rumors would turn out, Chen Mo would definitely call on him to send troops.

He still can't back out—who made him promise that at the meeting!

"Why not! Jiang Tiansheng, you said you had a way to deal with Chen Mo today, and you said you could let Chen Mo let go of his turf."

"So what? Since you can't make decisions for Chen Mo, don't meddle."

"I, Wang Bao, may not be a match for your Great Prosperity, but I might not lose to Chen Mo either!"

Jiang Tiansheng snorted coldly: "Shen Shui Bu's Gao Jin used to be Chen Mo's lackey, and Chen Mo and Thirteen Sister Han Bin are also closely connected."

"If you go to war with Chen Mo, do you think they won't lend a hand?"

"So what, can't I call in brothers from other groups for help?"

"It's not worth the loss." Deng Fei said gloomily, "If you go to war head‑on, how many will die, how much will it cost—have you thought about that?"

"If you trust my old man, just bear with it for now and rein in your men—there are others who want to deal with Chen Mo too."

Wang Bao narrowed his eyes at Deng Fei, then glanced at Jiang Tiansheng, feeling that these two old foxes were hiding something nasty.

"Fine, I'll give Uncle Deng some face this time. But you'd better follow through on what you say."

Having said that, Wang Bao also rose and left the private room; the two old foxes had something they didn't want to tell him, and he wouldn't go looking for boredom.

Jiang Tiansheng and Deng Fei then stayed in the private room for another half hour or so, not knowing what they had discussed, before leaving one after the other.
