Chapter 189: A Flash of the Blade, Heads Roll

"So that's how it is! Bai Fengye is too shameless! We misunderstood Chen Che!"

"Exactly! No wonder Bai Fengye dared to have a life-and-death Gambling Battle with Chen Che; it was planned from the very beginning!"

"The most impressive one is Chen Che, alright? He not only exposed Bai Fengye's leverage but also confirmed that Bai Fengye was hiding a True Qi Weapon. Now the Scorpion Society is going to be in trouble!"

"Yeah, it turns out all of this was planned by Chen Che. Him taking hits earlier was just to make Bai Fengye lower his guard and reveal a flaw! Bai Fengye prided himself on being smart, but ended up being outplayed by Chen Che instead!"

"Damn, if only I had his brain! I couldn't get that even if I burned incense and prayed to Buddha! Too awesome! I'm so envious!"

With the truth revealed, the audience's attitude did a one-hundred-and-eighty-degree turn, and they cheered Chen Che's name with extreme excitement.

The members of the Qibao Association also jumped up at this moment, their pent-up emotions fully released.

"Boss is awesome!"

"It turns out everything was in the boss's plan. Now Bai Fengye's venue belongs to us. You bastards from the Red Leaf Club, keep barking!"

"The Red Leaf Club is gone, and the Scorpion Society is going to be in big trouble too. You bastards, come to the Qibao Association; your fathers will definitely take good care of you, hahahaha..."

Hearing the taunts from the Qibao Association, the people from the Red Leaf Club all lowered their heads, their faces looking as ugly as if they had eaten excrement.

Shen Qi looked at Chen Che with a face full of smiles; he knew Chen Che wouldn't let them down!

Ma Zijun narrowed his eyes, his gaze toward Chen Che full of admiration and worship.

Recalling his own worries from just a moment ago, he couldn't help but find it funny. Chen Che was never a brute; his intellect was no less than his martial prowess. His own worries had been superfluous.

Lin Su stood above the spectator stands, gazing at that figure who looked like everything was under control, her pretty face full of relief and longing.

Ma Menghan still hadn't figured out the situation; she looked left and right and asked anxiously, "Sister Lin, what's the situation now? Did Chen Che win?"

"He won. Not only did he win, but he also openly took a shot at the Scorpion Society."

Lin Su said with a proud look.

"Really?! That's great!"

Ma Menghan was full of excitement, cheering and jumping for joy.

Huang Feng and Ma Ziai looked at the scene on the arena in a daze; this series of reversals had left them dumbfounded!

Huang Feng had thought he was the one fishing, but at this moment, a chill suddenly ran down his spine.

Chen Che had entered the game himself, seized Bai Fengye's leverage, and used the Patrol Bureau to deal directly with the Scorpion Society.

This move of borrowing a knife to kill was too ruthless and left no traces!

Was such a person really a fish he could catch?

Huang Feng was no longer certain. He suddenly felt he couldn't see through Chen Che at all; this person was too terrifying!

Ma Ziai didn't have such a brain and couldn't see through these twists and turns. She only knew that Chen Che had won the Gambling Battle, and the plan to avenge her father had fallen through once again!

"Damn it! How is his luck always so good!?"

Ma Ziai couldn't help but curse. Huang Feng turned his head to look at her with a look of pity, thinking that being simple-minded was sometimes a good thing; at least she wouldn't have the frustration and fear of being crushed by intellect.

In the arena, after watching the recording, Tang Ying clearly breathed a sigh of relief; Bai Fengye's crimes were confirmed.

Chen Che would not be implicated; after all, the Patrol Bureau was not a good place to be.

Fan Hao, on the other hand, had a dark face, looking even worse than if he had swallowed a green-headed fly.

He stared gloomily at Chen Che, his face full of unwillingness and humiliation. For some reason, the wound on his shoulder became even more painful.

However,

Chen Che looked at Fan Hao at this moment and said with a smile, "Now that the truth is out, I believe you, Officer, will definitely uphold justice and preside over fairness, right?"

Fan Hao was stunned, suddenly realizing he had been checkmated by this bastard!

Just a moment ago, in order to drag Chen Che back to the Patrol Bureau, Fan Hao had righteously declared that he would uphold justice and preside over fairness.

At this moment, Chen Che returned those words to him, and at a time when Bai Fengye's crimes were being confirmed.

This clearly meant forcing Fan Hao to have no choice but to thoroughly investigate the Scorpion Society. At the same time, Chen Che also wanted to confirm whether Fan Hao had any connection to the Scorpion Society.

Looking at Chen Che's ambiguous expression, a chill rose in Fan Hao's heart.

He suddenly realized that Chen Che was not just a brute with superior martial strength; Chen Che hadn't just outplayed Bai Fengye, but had taken the opportunity to outplay him as well!

And Chen Che's scheme had started from their very first meeting.

When that frame-up failed, Chen Che had already begun to suspect Fan Hao's identity, only he lacked the evidence to confirm who he was associated with.

And having just confirmed that Fan Hao and Ma Zijun didn't know each other, it indirectly proved that he had no connection to the Ma Family.

Forcing Fan Hao to investigate the Scorpion Society now not only determined whether Fan Hao and the Scorpion Society were in collusion.

Even if they were, after this investigation, if they were related, they would turn into enemies; if they weren't, Fan Hao would become the target of the Scorpion Society from now on.

This move was truly vicious!

Fan Hao couldn't help but shiver. His previous arrogant momentum was gone. Chen Che was clearly smiling, but in his eyes, it was so ferocious and terrifying!

Fan Hao grabbed his shoulder wound hard, using the pain to calm the shock and fear in his heart, and gritted his teeth, "Of course I will investigate; this is my duty as part of the Patrol Bureau!"

Chen Che curled his lips into a smile and nodded with satisfaction: "I look forward to it."

"True Qi Weapons are not allowed to circulate among the public; this is an ironclad rule prohibited by the Patrol Bureau, and the Sovereign has also repeatedly emphasized it. Today, the Jinling Patrol Bureau will launch an investigation."

Tang Ying carefully put away the Finger Stall Interferer and said with a serious face, yet her gaze toward Chen Che was very complex.

She suddenly sighed, feeling annoyed and blaming herself for being blinded by concern, actually forgetting that she had previously found out about Chen Che's time in Shanghai.

That wasn't something that could be done with martial strength alone; he didn't lack intellect, he just happened to have fooled her too!

How could such an excellent, powerful, and mysterious man lose to a lowlife like Bai Fengye?!

Yet the facts proved that not only did he not take Bai Fengye seriously at all, he had even schemed against the Scorpion Society.

It seems she really was blinded by infatuation and had fallen for it; she couldn't even think calmly when looking at that face, to the point where she had worried for nothing.

But doesn't this just prove that she likes him, doesn't it?

Hmm!

It seems her previous decision was right; this man must be captured! Even if it's only for one night, otherwise she won't be satisfied for the rest of her life!

The flames of battle reignited in Tang Ying's heart; she became even more determined to win Chen Che over!

"I am willing to accept the loss; all the venues under my name belong to the Qibao Association. That type of Interferer was something I scavenged from the black market myself. Everything was done by me alone, and it has no relation to the Scorpion Society."

Things having reached this point, Bai Fengye no longer sought to protect himself; what he was thinking about now was taking all the blame upon himself to protect his father, Bai Xiangjin.

Otherwise, if he were to fall, the second person the Justice Inspection Department would investigate would be Bai Xiangjin.

In that case, not only would the properties under Bai Xiangjin's name be subject to a Seal, but he himself would also be invited in for tea.

Even if he managed to cut ties well, he would suffer a massive loss of Vital Energy after getting out, and would no longer have the capital to wrestle with Jiang Lan.

However, how could Chen Che fail to see through this little scheme of Bai Fengye's?

"Swish!"

Chen Che pulled out the knife that was nailed into the back of Bai Fengye's hand.

"Hiss—"

Bai Fengye gasped in pain, staggering to his feet, facing Tang Ying and Fan Hao, and said, "I plead guilty. It was all done by me alone; it has nothing to do with the Scorpion Society. Please take me back—"

"Swish!"

Chen Che swung his hand back, and an arc of blade light flashed by; Bai Fengye's words came to an abrupt halt, his expression frozen—his eyes wide and round, his face full of shock and disbelief.

His entire head flew off, blood sprayed, and he died with his eyes wide open!

The entire scene was deathly silent!

Whether it was the people present or those watching this Gambling Battle via live stream, everyone looked at this scene in shock.

Everyone was stunned by Chen Che's sudden strike; no one had expected that Chen Che would actually just kill Bai Fengye like that!
