Chapter 236: Saving the Ruthless Mafia Boss 24

Jin Chen secretly laughed, and the next second he heard Meng Fuchi say.

"Funny, I didn't notice, your acting has gotten better and better."

He holstered his gun, then poked Jin Chen's cheek with his fingertip.

"... What acting? I wasn't acting at all."

Jin Chen shook his head in denial, his expression serious, but the fear in his eyes vanished in an instant.

"I was handling Liang Shu in the Life and Death Hall, and you watched without fear, because just one person is scary."

Meng Fuchi took the tray from his hands, saying, "Your fear triggers are really puzzling."

Jin Chen of course understood; his wife basically knew his personality by now, hearing this she giggled and hugged him, acting coquettish.

"With Brother Chi around, I'm not afraid of anything."

"Cheap talk."

Meng Fuchi smiled helplessly, letting him hug and sway.

The two ate seafood dinner together, then returned to the room.

Besides Du Ruosong, all ELF members and the special police waited there; they installed a military-exclusive shielding system in the room, able to perfectly evade any surveillance.

Moreover, the people who entered the room this time were also a group—members of the Aogu family who had already gotten in touch with A Qiang.

Upon hearing A Qiang's message, they found it utterly unbelievable, so they came specially to verify with Meng Fuchi.

The two sides weren't new to dealing, but this time the amount was higher than any previous deal; their family head placed great importance on this cooperation, allowing no slip-ups.

"Mr. Meng, hello."

The person in charge, Ba Ke, shook hands and greeted him, attitude humble.

"Hello, Mr. Ba Ke, long time no see."

Meng Fuchi raised a smile, gesturing for him to sit.

"May I ask, are what your subordinates said all true? Is your organization's mole really colluding with Edeja?"

Ba Ke went straight to the point, very solemn.

"Yes, I'm sorry, sir, this is indeed my negligence, but this transaction is no ordinary matter; it also involves a unique item worth over a hundred million, so please, Mr. Ba Ke, cooperate with us."

Meng Fuchi introduced him, saying, "These three are our Huaguo's exceptionally capable special police, and they are the ones who will cooperate with us in this operation to escort the unique item out."

"... Special, special police!"

Ba Ke instantly grew nervous, leaning in close to Meng Fuchi and whispering, "On this cruise ship, everyone's a gangster organization; you're not afraid they'll just grab two people, that's a year's KPI, right?"

The three hearing this: "......"

"Good grief, they really hadn't thought of that."

The lead special police couldn't help but say, "As long as you don't cause trouble and don't massacre the innocent, an upright person fears no slanted shadow."

Meng Fuchi tapped the table, with Jin Chen sitting beside him.

"A Qiang, turn on the monitor."

He had arranged earlier for people to place nano surveillance devices on Du Ruosong and his confidants; they are hard to detect and have a wide shooting angle.

The screen opened, showing Du Ruosong chatting with Edeja.

"This brat really can't hold his breath." Zuo Kun cursed.

Having listened to their conversation, Ba Ke couldn't help but ask, "They want to exchange guns for the unique item; why must it be done here? If the goal is merely to frame you, wouldn't it be better to do it after you return?"

Meng Fuchi's smile held a deep meaning, his gaze at the screen exuding coldness.

"Because Edeja's second goal is to wipe out ELF's core members in one fell swoop, then control Du Ruosong to transfer the assets."

Jin Chen tilted his head thoughtfully.

【0731, in the original plot how did Du Ruosong escape Edeja?】

【At that time he and Liang Shu hadn't fallen out yet, and the two of them negotiated again with Edeja, possibly it's double protagonist halo.】

0731 didn't pay much attention.

Jin Chen, however, felt it wasn't that simple.

Through today's brief meeting, he could basically conclude that Edeja's scheming and calculations were far superior to Du Ruosong's; if it were merely due to protagonist halo, the later plot would collapse from lack of logic.

At this moment in the screen, Du Ruosong had already prepared to bring his confidants, together with the people sent by Devil, to break open the pre‑scouted gun storage location and replace it with the unique item.

Ba Ke couldn't sit still.

That just means the Aogu family has also been targeted, right!

All these things tell him that cooperating with Meng Fuchi now is the best course.

"What should we do, should we go stop it now?"

Meng Fuchi shook his head, "No need tonight; this video evidence is the ironclad proof of Du Ruosong trafficking the unique item."

He began to explain his plan to Ba Ke and the special police.

"Du Ruosong's confidants have already been replaced by my people."

"His information is that on the day after tomorrow's main banquet, Du Ruosong together with Edeja will expose our transaction, so our operation will also be that day."

"ELF's assassins will, at the start of the operation, be led by A Qiang and Zuo Kun, who will provoke a fight with Devil's people to draw their attention; but we brought few people, so we hope the Aogu family will also send reinforcements."

Ba Ke hurriedly said, "Rest assured, we have plenty of people and guns."

Meng Fuchi nodded, then looked at the few special police.

"You will, while Edeja's attention is diverted, sneak into his core area and gather evidence."

"I and Chu Cang will restrain them in the banquet hall."

"Okay." The lead special police expressed agreement, his expression growing more solemn.

They couldn't help but admit, fortunately Meng Fuchi is not on bad terms with them, otherwise the problem would be huge.

Jin Chen raised his hand, "What about me?"

Everyone turned their gazes over.

Chu Cang laughed, teasing, "You're in charge of being gorgeous?"

Jin Chen tilted his head and glared over, his tone dissatisfied yet harmless.

"You're the vase."

Meng Fuchi listened to the teasing, then soothed, "This mission is dangerous—just wait for me in the room, okay?"

"No."

Jin Chen shook his head, covered his ears, "I don't agree."

"You know it's dangerous, but you won't let me come—what if something goes wrong?"

"But if you're in the banquet hall, I'd have to split my attention to watch for you."

Meng Fuchi patiently coaxed him, turned and kissed his cheek, "Listen."

Jin Chen blinked, lowered his hands, his tone mysterious.

"Actually, I have a secret I haven't told you."

"Go on." Meng Fuchi listened attentively.

Everyone else's gaze also fell on him.

He raised his hand mysteriously, making a shooting gesture.

"Actually, I'm Xun Chen."

The room fell silent for three seconds.

"Pfft..." A Qiang burst out laughing first.

Then everyone laughed: "Hahahahaha!"

"Oh my, hahaha I can't take it," Chu Cang laughed until his stomach hurt, leaning on Zu Kun's shoulder.

"What kind of new joke is this?"

Jin Chen: "……"
