Chapter 1198: Using me to deal with Jiang Jing?

The men below received a hint from Ma Laoda and immediately, with practiced ease, handed over a watermelon knife.

The watermelon knife flashed with a cold glint!

Ma Laoda took the watermelon knife and spat on the blade!

Then, with a shout of "Ha!", he slashed down toward Chen Xiaoyu's wrist.

Clang!

Sparks flew everywhere!

Chen Xiaoyu was scared out of his wits, and a sudden urge to urinate surged out.

A pungent smell of urine immediately permeated the air.

Ma Laoda had deliberately tilted the blade, striking the concrete floor, and sneered disdainfully: "Truly a coward, to be scared into pissing and shitting yourself."

Seeing this, Li Wenbo knew the time was about right and immediately spoke up: "Ma Laoda, you've vented enough, stop while you're ahead!"

Ma Laoda stood up and smiled at Li Wenbo: "Thanks to you providing the lead, otherwise I really wouldn't have found this stinking rat. But paying debts is only right and proper; if this kid doesn't pay up, I'm definitely taking one of his hands today."

"What's the use of taking a hand?"

Li Wenbo nodded to his subordinates.

A subordinate took stacks of cash out of a briefcase and placed them neatly on the table.

"Chen Xiaoyu owes you two hundred thousand; I'll pay it for him."

A look of surprise appeared in Ma Laoda's eyes, then he laughed heartily, took an IOU written by Chen Xiaoyu's own hand from his pocket, and handed it to Li Wenbo.

"You really are a living Bodhisattva." He then sneered at Chen Xiaoyu, "You're in luck; your creditor has changed from now on."

Ma Laoda swept the money into his bag and then left with his men in a swagger.

Chen Xiaoyu was still in a daze; who was the other party, and why would they help him pay his debts?

Li Wenbo walked over and helped Chen Xiaoyu up.

"Let me introduce myself; I am Xiao Guo's boss."

Chen Xiaoyu was still shaken and looked at Li Wenbo vigilantly: "Why are you helping me? Is it for those photos in my hands?"

Li Wenbo laughed in spite of himself: "Are the photos you took worth two hundred thousand? I'm helping you because we have a common enemy!"

An enemy?

Chen Xiaoyu realized: "You want to use me to deal with Jiang Jing?"

Li Wenbo mused that Chen Xiaoyu was not stupid and nodded: "You're right. Since Jiang Jing came to Xiyang City, he has done many things that have angered both gods and men. As one of his enemies, I need some means to deal with him."

Chen Xiaoyu mocked himself: "You think too highly of me. He is a dignified Mayor, and I am nothing; how could I be his match?"

Li Wenbo said to Chen Xiaoyu: "You should know the rules of chess! Don't underestimate any single piece; a small pawn that crosses the river can still checkmate the opponent."

Chen Xiaoyu was silent for a moment, then steeled his heart: "You helped me pay the usury and became my creditor, so this life of mine is yours. Whatever you need me to do, I will follow your arrangements."

Li Wenbo nodded slightly: "Go take a shower first, then we'll eat together and talk while we eat."

Chen Xiaoyu's inner state at this moment could be described as full of twists and turns.

He knew that the man before him, who looked refined and scholarly, was actually harder to deal with and more dangerous than Ma Laoda.

But he had no other choice now...

After showering and changing into clean clothes, Chen Xiaoyu lay on the hotel bed for a while.

Li Wenbo's subordinate knocked on the door and led Chen Xiaoyu to a private room in the third-floor restaurant.

Inside the room, there were only Li Wenbo and Chen Xiaoyu.

After Chen Xiaoyu had eaten his fill, Li Wenbo spoke softly: "There is a task I need you to handle."

Chen Xiaoyu put down his chopsticks and said in a deep voice: "Boss Li, this life of mine is yours now. Whether it's climbing a mountain of blades or descending into a sea of fire, I won't even frown."

Li Wenbo said: "You and Mayor Jiang's current wife were once lovers, and you possess many of her secrets. If these secrets are exposed, it will deal a huge blow to Mayor Jiang."

The alcohol in Chen Xiaoyu's system instantly dissipated.

As expected, he was going to use him as a pawn to deal with Jiang Jing.

"Xie Yina and I had a love that was etched in our bones. But since Mayor Jiang chose to marry her, he surely wouldn't care about the past."

Li Wenbo said: "That's because you don't understand these officials. They cherish their reputations most of all. A dignified Mayor—if his wife is involved in something scandalous, wouldn't he become a huge joke? Can a person whose reputation is ruined still represent the Government, and is he still qualified to hold an important position?"

Chen Xiaoyu was silent for several seconds.

When he first learned the news of Jiang Jing and Xie Yina's marriage, his heart was full of anger.

Although he was at fault for the breakup with Xie Yina, Xie Yina's initiative to break up still caused Chen Xiaoyu great harm.

From the bottom of his heart, he did not want to see Xie Yina living better than him.

As for Jiang Jing, although they had never met, his heart was full of jealousy and hatred.

He picked up the wine glass on the table and drank it in one gulp.

"Boss Li, tell me what to do, and I will do it!"

"Call Xie Yina and make an appointment with her. I've already booked the room for you."

In front of Li Wenbo, Chen Xiaoyu dialed Xie Yina's number.

Hearing Chen Xiaoyu's voice, Xie Yina's heart instantly tightened.

"We have already broken up; why do you keep pestering me?"

"Yina, why must you be so heartless? You're doing well now; for the sake of our past, can't you give me a hand?" Chen Xiaoyu said flippantly.

"I'll repeat it again: we have broken up, and from now on, we have nothing to do with each other," Xie Yina said angrily.

"Let me remind you, we truly loved each other, and the traces of our feelings aren't something you can easily erase just because you want to... If your memory is bad, I can remind you that we had many beautiful memories... Do you want me to send all these memories out..." Chen Xiaoyu's tone carried a hint of ruthlessness.

"Shut up!" Xie Yina interrupted him and cursed regretfully: "Despicable and shameless! You are blackmailing me!"

Chen Xiaoyu laughed wildly: "Xie Yina, I only have half a life left; even if I die, I'll drag you down with me!"

"Name your price; how much money do you want?"

Xie Yina knew clearly that Chen Xiaoyu had some photos in his hands.

Once they were made public, her own ruin would be a minor matter.

More importantly, it would bring unpredictable consequences to Jiang Jing.

"I'll send you an address, let's talk alone," Chen Xiaoyu warned, "Remember, come alone."

……

Xie Yina covered her face and burst into tears.

When she first fell in love with Chen Xiaoyu, Xie Yina had intended to marry him.

Couples in the heat of passion wouldn't consider so much, would they?

The reason she broke up with Chen Xiaoyu was not because his family fortune had declined.

It was because Chen Xiaoyu refused to make progress, gambled all day, and even became addicted to drugs...

The mobile phone suddenly rang again.

It was a call from Xie Kai.

Xie Yina tried hard to calm her emotions and answered, "Is something the matter?"

"I suddenly felt flustered just now, are you alright?" Xie Kai asked with concern.

"What could possibly be wrong with me!"

Xie Kai must have sensed something.

She and Xie Kai were twins; since they were small, the two of them had a connection similar to telepathy.

"It's good that you're fine." Xie Kai still felt that Xie Yina was acting a bit strange, and urged, "If you encounter trouble, you must remember to tell me. You are pregnant now, you must be very careful."
