Chapter 26: A Taste of Their Own Medicine

"I investigated immediately after receiving your message about the problem with the shoes A Xiang was wearing."

"I pulled the surveillance footage from the house that day, went to the courier station to investigate, and finally found the courier from that day, as well as the person who sent the package."

Cheng Kexin said slowly.

Chen Che frowned and guessed, "Cheng Song?"

"It was indeed Cheng Song's people." Cheng Kexin nodded and continued, "But before I could confront Cheng Song, Cheng Qian found me."

"Cheng Qian is my eldest uncle's eldest daughter, Cheng Song's biological sister. She is also the oldest child in our generation."

"Cheng Qian invited me here for therapy and, incidentally, to talk about Cheng Song poisoning A Xiang."

"Her attitude was sincere; she even took the initiative to say that the person Cheng Song wanted to target was me, and that A Xiang wearing those shoes was purely a coincidence."

Cheng Kexin looked annoyed: "I knew Cheng Qian didn't have good intentions either, so I remained vigilant and didn't eat or drink anything, but I didn't expect to fall into her trap anyway!"

"The masseur's fingers were smeared with Soft Muscle Powder. By the time I reacted, my body could no longer move."

Cheng Kexin looked at Chen Che, a hint of grievance appearing in her eyes: "I used my last bit of strength to call you first. It's fortunate you arrived in time."

Chen Che pulled Cheng Kexin tightly into his arms again and said solemnly, "Senior Sister, you are one of the only relatives I have in this world. I will not allow anyone to hurt you!"

"Mm."

Cheng Kexin nodded, letting Chen Che hold her.

Scorpion listened to the two talking and embracing, feeling somewhat at a loss.

That kid didn't blink when killing people just a moment ago, yet now he is so kind-faced!

It seems I shouldn't be here?

But my legs won't move; they are too useless!

"Cheng Qian told you to come?"

Chen Che's voice suddenly rang out, filled with coldness and an irresistible pressure.

Scorpion shuddered, knelt upright on the ground, and answered honestly, "I... I don't know what the person who hired us is called, but he is a man."

"It's Cheng Song," Cheng Kexin reminded him.

Chen Che nodded: "It seems to be a joint operation by the siblings."

"Then what were your employer's orders?" Chen Che continued to ask.

Scorpion had originally wanted to say out of habit: "The rule in our line of work is that we cannot reveal the employer."

However, the scene of Chen Che killing people just now played on a loop in his mind like a brand, making him afraid to have any clever words or deception.

"The employer said, let us..." Scorpion paused, glanced quietly at Cheng Kexin, and continued, "Then record a video and hand it over to him."

Cheng Kexin was shocked, subconsciously hugging herself and looking left and right.

Chen Che frowned: "Video?"

Scorpion nodded, then took a camera the size of a little finger out of the socket on the wall.

"There's actually such a thing!" Cheng Kexin was ashamed and furious, "Despicable! We are clearly relatives, yet they, as siblings, would treat me like this!"

Chen Che took the camera and examined it carefully. Scorpion explained, "This is a Micro Camera. It contains a memory card. The recorded video is automatically stored inside. You only need to take out the memory card afterward to watch it."

Seeing Chen Che's displeased expression, Scorpion's heart skipped a beat, and he said in a panic, "I... I just took money to do a job... I don't want to die... Please don't kill me..."

Chen Che turned his head to look at Cheng Kexin and asked, "Sixth Senior Sister, you say how to deal with him."

Cheng Kexin smiled: "I'll listen to you."

Chen Che looked at Scorpion. Upon touching Chen Che's gaze, Scorpion's body shook, and he knocked his head heavily against the ground, waiting for judgment in fear and trepidation.

Scorpion knew very well that Chen Che was not an ordinary person; he was a Martial Artist, otherwise, it would be impossible to beat a person into a blood mist with one punch.

Moreover, Chen Che and Cheng Kexin had a close relationship, and he had just wanted to violate Cheng Kexin.

For this alone, his crime was unforgivable!

No man could tolerate another man bullying his woman!

Scorpion knew very well that he had touched Chen Che's reverse scale. At this moment, begging for mercy was futile, and he dared not hope that Chen Che would let him go; he only deeply regretted why he had taken Cheng Song's money and accepted this deal.

"What is your name?" Chen Che asked.

"People in the underworld call me Scorpion, and you can call me Scorpion if you wish."

"How much money did the employer give you?" Chen Che nodded and continued to ask, his tone devoid of any emotion.

Scorpion replied, "One hundred thousand as a deposit, and another one hundred thousand after the video is handed over."

"I can not kill you, but you need to do something for me," Chen Che said.

"Ah?"

Scorpion was stunned. He hadn't expected Chen Che to let him go, and his mood was like a roller coaster.

He didn't hesitate at all and agreed immediately: "As long as you don't kill me, I am willing to do anything for you!"

"Where is your employer now?"

"It was agreed beforehand to take the video memory card to Room 217. The employer should be in Room 217."

Chen Che threw the Micro Camera to Scorpion and said, "Take this, go find your employer, ask him why he wanted to do this, and then bring the video of him spilling the truth back to me."

"I shouldn't need to teach you how to trick someone into talking, right? After all, you are also a veteran of the underworld," Chen Che said.

Scorpion held the camera with both hands and nodded: "Understood."

Chen Che didn't let him go, but continued, "Before that, I'll say the ugly things first. If you can handle the matter well as I said, not only will I not kill you, but I will also give you three times the price of the original employer. But if you don't handle it well, or run away halfway, then you only have the path of death, and I guarantee you, you definitely won't die as painlessly as your brothers."

Cheng Kexin also warned, "I am a Commander of the Shanghai Patrol Department. If you dare to run, you will be wanted by the Patrol Department. You know what it means to be targeted by the Patrol Department in Xia."

Scorpion was stunned, looking at Cheng Kexin in disbelief. He did not doubt Cheng Kexin's words at all, because no one dared to impersonate the Patrol Department.

He never expected that this young and beautiful woman was actually a Commander of the Patrol Department!

He had actually wanted to do that kind of thing to her; this was completely dancing wildly at the gates of the King of Hell's palace!

Looking at it this way, the original employer never intended to pay the money at all.

If you touch the Commander of the Inspection Bureau, you are truly dead for sure; it doesn't matter how much money you have!

"I understand!" The Scorpion kowtowed heavily, "I will definitely complete the mission!"

"Good, go. We will wait for you here," Chen Che said.

The Scorpion stood up and left.

Cheng Kexin looked at Chen Che and asked, "Do you want to use their own methods to pay them back?"

Chen Che gave a grunt of affirmation and said, "This isn't over yet. I let the Scorpion go mainly to find out their purpose; even if it is for the sake of fighting over family property, the behavior of Cheng Song and his sister is unreasonable."

"Once I find out their true purpose, I will definitely make them pay back the harm done to you and Cheng Kexiang a thousandfold," Chen Che said with a serious expression.

Cheng Kexin smiled serenely and said, "It seems that with my junior brother here, I can rest easy."

Chen Che smiled slightly, and just as he was about to speak, his face suddenly darkened, and a layer of fine sweat broke out on his forehead.

"Junior brother, what's wrong with you?"

Chen Che's sudden abnormality gave Cheng Kexin a fright, and she asked with concerned anxiety.

"Ugh..."

Chen Che tilted his head back in extreme pain, his veins bulging; he was clearly enduring intense agony.

"Junior brother, Chen Che!" Cheng Kexin cried out in panic, "Don't scare me!"

"Senior sister, I..."

Rip!

Chen Che tore the clothes on his upper body into shreds, and patches of red Cloud patterns appeared on his body.

"Senior sister, the Great Red Sun Poison... is acting up!"
