Chapter 205: A Call from Jiang Lan

~10 min read 1,827 words

Huang Shengqi pushed Huang Feng into the Qibao Club, with a gloomy-looking middle-aged man following behind them.

A receptionist walked over with elegant manners and asked, "Sir, is there anything I can help you with?"

Huang Shengqi spoke indifferently: "No, we'll handle it ourselves."

The receptionist was confused and looked the three of them over carefully.

The gloomy middle-aged man stepped forward, True Qi spilling out of his body to swirl around him, and a powerful pressure instantly filled the air.

The receptionist was startled, quickly ran back behind the counter to hide, and at the same time dialed the phone to Shen Qi's room.

"Hello, Boss, someone is here—"

Before the receptionist could finish, the True Qi instantly raged, and the sound of shattering glass erupted throughout the lobby.

The crystal chandelier fell to the ground and smashed into pieces, the surrounding windows were shattered to bits, and chairs and tables were overturned in a scene of chaos.

In less than half a minute, Shen Qi arrived at the lobby with his men and said with a dark expression: "Who are you people? How dare you come to the Qibao Club to cause trouble!"

"Where is Chen Che?"

Huang Shengqi scanned the crowd, did not see Chen Che, and asked.

Shen Qi looked surprised and asked: "Who exactly are you? What do you want with my boss?"

Huang Shengqi did not answer, but instead said: "Since Chen Che is not here, there is nothing more to say. Lao Dou, cripple them."

"Bastard! Do you really think my Qibao Club is easy to bully?!"

Shen Qi's True Qi exploded from his body, and he shot toward Huang Shengqi.

The middle-aged man named Lao Dou took a step forward, blocked the path in front of Huang Shengqi and his son, and threw a punch to meet Shen Qi.

"Boom!"

The two fists collided, and True Qi burst forth!

"Crack!"

The sound of bone fracturing spread from Shen Qi's fist up his entire arm.

Shen Qi flew backward, crashed to the ground, and smashed a shallow pit into the marble floor.

"Grand... Grandmaster!"

Shen Qi clutched his right arm, looking at Lao Dou in shock.

"Are you people from the Scorpion Society?"

Shen Qi's thoughts raced as he asked.

However, he received no answer; Lao Dou launched another attack!

Lao Dou leaped into the air and smashed down toward Shen Qi like a meteor hammer.

"Boom!"

A dull thud of impact followed, and Shen Qi, his face full of pain and shock, spat out a mouthful of blood.

"I advise you not to push your luck, otherwise my master will not let you off—"

Before Shen Qi could finish, his words turned into screams.

With a crack, Lao Dou stepped on and broke Shen Qi's legs.

The others from the Qibao Club saw this scene and were all terrified, not daring to step forward.

In front of a Martial Arts Grandmaster, they were all ants; going up to help would be pure suicide!

Huang Shengqi came to Shen Qi's side, looked down at him with a sinister expression, and said: "Tell Chen Che, before ten o'clock tonight, go to the Huang Family Villa to apologize, otherwise you today will be him tomorrow."

After speaking, Huang Shengqi pushed Huang Feng away.

Huang Feng's voice came from the doorway: "Lao Dou, keep Shen Qi alive, slaughter everyone else in the Qibao Club and throw them in the river, and also smash the club to pieces for me!"

"Yes."

Lao Dou responded, his gaze turning cold as he looked at the other terrified members of the Qibao Club.

"Ah!!"

"No, don't!"

"Spare me, spare me!!"

Screams came one after another from behind as Huang Shengqi pushed Huang Feng to the car.

Two bodyguards in black helped Huang Feng into the car, and Huang Shengqi glanced at the devastated Qibao Club and dialed his secretary's number: "Xiao Li, the Qibao Club is suspected of fraudulent operations. Make arrangements to seal it."

"Yes, Director!"

Secretary Xiao Li replied respectfully.

Hanging up the phone, Huang Shengqi also climbed into the car.

"Dad, do you think Chen Che will go to apologize?"

In the car, Huang Feng asked.

"The old man of the Ma Family and your grandfather have already agreed on it; he will go. But there has been no movement for several days now, and I have no patience, nor will I allow it to drag on like this."

Huang Shengqi curled his lips into a sneer: "Today I sealed the Qibao Club; if he still wants to continue mixing in Jinling, he must go!"

"That would be great! As long as he goes, we can follow the previous plan and kill him! If he doesn't go, we will continue to apply pressure until he can't survive here, and if he tries to run, we can just have Lao Dou kill him without anyone knowing!"

Huang Feng touched his legs, which had no sensation at all, and said viciously: "Since Chen Che dares to be so lawless, I will definitely make him pay back the debt for these legs a thousand times over!"

The vehicle carrying the father and son drove away.

A black Kuli parked on the side of the road lowered its window, revealing the faces of Jiang Lan and her younger brother Jiang Kui.

"Sis, that was Huang Feng and his dad Huang Shengqi, right? How did this Chen Che offend the Huang Family again? We arrived at such a coincidental time!"

Jiang Kui looked at the chaotic Qibao Club and said with a face full of shock.

Jiang Lan frowned, got out of the car, and walked into the Qibao Club.

At this moment inside the club, only Shen Qi remained, unconscious in the lobby, while everyone else had been dealt with by Lao Dou.

"Send him to the hospital."

Jiang Lan gave the order, and Jiang Kui immediately signaled for people to carry Shen Qi into the car.

Jiang Lan searched out Shen Qi's phone, found Chen Che's number, and dialed it: "Hello, Mr. Chen, this is Jiang Lan."

………

Chen Che was stunned when he heard Jiang Lan's voice; he stared closely at the phone screen, confirming it was indeed Shen Qi's number!

Shen Qi's phone being in Jiang Lan's hands meant something that went without saying.

"Hello, Mr. Chen, are you still there?"

Hearing no response, Jiang Lan's voice came through again.

Chen Che asked directly: "Where is my person?"

"Your person had an accident and is now at the hospital."

After saying this, Jiang Lan quickly added: "Please don't misunderstand, I didn't do it; I just happened to run into it."

"Let Shen Qi speak with me."

Chen Che said, his tone brooking no doubt.

"He is still unconscious and cannot speak with you. Shen Qi and I are both at the Central Hospital. Once you arrive, you will know whether I am lying to you or not."

Jiang Lan said.

"Are the methods of the dignified Beauty Scorpion so clumsy?"

Chen Che sneered.

Jiang Lan was neither angry nor annoyed, saying unhurriedly: "Young Master Ma Zijun should have told you that I intend to cooperate with you. Besides, I have just finished being investigated by the Law Enforcement Bureau and will not create extra complications to bring trouble upon myself, so I have no need to lie to you."

"Then since you just happened to encounter the Qibao Association's accident, you must have seen who it was, right?"

Chen Che asked again.

This time, Jiang Lan was silent for a moment before saying: "The Huang Family."

Chen Che's expression froze as he weighed the truthfulness of Jiang Lan's words.

"Mr. Chen?"

Chen Che did not speak, so Jiang Lan called out to him again.

"I am coming over now; you look after my person for me."

Chen Che hung up the phone.

Ma Ziai had heard the entire conversation and said: "The Qibao Association has met with disaster, and the Huang Family won't let you off. You are mired in your own trouble, yet you still talk about helping me."

"This bit of trouble is nothing to me."

Chen Che looked at Ma Ziai and said.

"Arrogant!"

Ma Ziai sneered: "The Huang Family is a powerful and influential clan; in recent years, their momentum has been even more formidable than the Ma Family's. Last time you crippled Huang Feng, my grandfather and the others have been planning these past few days to take you to the Huang Family to apologize."

"I suspect Ma Zijun's purpose today wasn't just to celebrate Ma Menghan being discharged from the hospital; he also wanted to use this opportunity to persuade you to go to the Huang Family to apologize."

"They all believe that if you fight the Huang Family, you will surely die! It's just that because this matter started because of the Ma Family, they feel indebted and will protect you, but they may not be able to guarantee you will come out unscathed."

Chen Che remembered that before Ma Zijun fainted, he had indeed said he had something to say; it seemed now that this must have been it.

Chen Che looked at Ma Ziai and said: "I was able to defeat the Scorpion Society, so the Huang Family is nothing, and I promise to help you punish the guilty. Are you willing to trust me?"

Chen Che stared at Ma Ziai with deep eyes; after ending the conversation with Jiang Lan just now, he had a plan in mind, but he still lacked a powerful trump card.

Ma Ziai met Chen Che's gaze for a while and asked: "What do you plan to do?"

Chen Che smiled faintly, unperturbed, realizing there was a chance, and said:

"First, I will not help you kill anyone. Only one or two people deserve to die; everyone else, including yourself, is innocent, so we only need to punish the guilty."

"As for how to punish them, I naturally have my own plan. Now my question is, are you willing to trust me?"

Ma Ziai looked at Chen Che searchingly, as if thinking, and finally made up her mind: "I trust you."

"Very good. Since that's the case, I have a question to ask you," Chen Che said.

"What is it?"

"Do you have any evidence that can prove your father is having an affair with Huang Zhu?"

"After I caught them in the act, I secretly checked my father's phone; it has many videos of them fooling around."

Ma Ziai said with a grief-stricken expression.

Chen Che nodded: "Good, organize the videos and give them to me."

"What do you want to do?"

Ma Ziai frowned, a flash of vigilance in her eyes.

"Rest assured, I naturally have my use for them. All you need to do now is trust me."

Chen Che said.

Ma Ziai stared at Chen Che for another moment, then nodded: "Fine, I trust you."
