Chapter 29: Blackmail

"Buzz, buzz..."

Miaoquan Club, Room 203.

The vibration of a mobile phone ringing sounded.

Chen Che opened his eyes wearily, rolled out of bed, fished his phone out of the trousers scattered on the floor, and answered.

"Hello."

"Where did you go? How could you just abandon me?!"

Cheng Kexiang's angry voice came through.

"Didn't I have Ma Menghan look after you?"

Chen Che's ears were stung by Cheng Kexiang's angry voice, so he held the phone a little further away and said.

"That's no reason to dump me and leave me alone!" Cheng Kexiang demanded, "You are my Bodyguard; you must report to me wherever you go. Tell me, where are you now?"

Chen Che glanced at the window; it was already bright outside. "Your sister had some trouble last night, and we are together now. I'll give you an address in a moment; come find us."

"What? Sister is in trouble?! Okay, okay, okay, take good care of her, I'm coming over now!"

Once Cheng Kexiang heard that Cheng Kexin was in trouble, she forgot all about being angry with Chen Che and became immediately anxious.

"Is that A Xiang?"

Cheng Kexin had also woken up; she lay on the bed, turned over, and looked at Chen Che.

"Mm."

At this moment, both of them were completely naked. Their gazes met naturally, and Cheng Kexin's face flushed red as she turned away.

Recalling the intimacy of last night, Chen Che smiled triumphantly.

He suddenly remembered something and checked the time; it was already eight in the morning.

The Scorpion hadn't returned yet?

Chen Che put on his trousers and opened the door shirtless; there was no one outside.

Chen Che sighed, thinking that beauty truly leads to neglect of duty.

"Did the person run away?"

Cheng Kexin put on her bathrobe, came before Chen Che, and asked.

"It seems so."

Chen Che said, "It looks like this Scorpion has some brains."

Cheng Kexin smiled. "It's fine. Cheng Qian's conspiracy didn't succeed anyway; there will be plenty of time in the future."

Chen Che nodded, thinking he should still have Shen Qi use his connections to look for him.

"Knock, knock, knock..."

At this moment, a knocking sound came from the door.

Chen Che and Cheng Kexin exchanged a glance, then hid in the bathroom.

Cheng Kexin opened the door; standing outside was a front desk waiter.

"Hello, a gentleman asked me to give this to the guest in 203."

The waiter handed over a note and then left.

Chen Che came out of the bathroom and took the note from Cheng Kexin's hand; there was a string of numbers on it.

Chen Che took out his phone and dialed the number.

"Hello."

"I am the Scorpion."

Chen Che's expression darkened, and he asked, "Where are you?"

The Scorpion ignored the question: "I've finished what you asked me to do, and the video is in my hands now. If you want it, have three million in cash ready."

"Are you trying to blackmail me?" Chen Che's eyes were cold.

The Scorpion laughed arrogantly: "I am blackmailing you, so what? If you're so tough, come through the phone line and get me! I know you're a Martial Artist, but I have a backer now, so I'm not afraid of you! I also know the identity of the woman you're fooling around with."

"There are so many stories inside big families; they are so ruthless when they attack their own people, even I feel inferior."

"But it doesn't matter, I'm not a good person anyway, and I have the Cheng Family's leverage now. Go tell that woman, if she doesn't want the Cheng Family's scandal exposed, then get the money ready. Three million isn't a large sum for a family of the Cheng Family's stature."

"Also, don't think about getting the Justice Department to catch me, otherwise, even if I die, I will expose the video!"

Chen Che sneered: "Do you think you can threaten us just by having a video?"

"Then let's try it out. I'm just a stinking hooligan anyway, I don't care about my reputation."

The Scorpion let out a cold laugh, his tone full of the arrogant posture of a villain who has gotten his way.

Cheng Kexin took the phone and said, "The money can be given to you, and I can also refrain from using the Justice Department to catch you, but you must guarantee that the video will not leak out, otherwise you will die a very ugly death!"

"Hmph, what right do you have to threaten me now?! You'd better see the situation clearly! But you don't need to worry, I only want money; I'm not interested in the internal affairs of your big families. And I won't talk about it, of course, nor will I talk about you fooling around with that man just now."

The Scorpion's tone was frivolous: "I didn't expect that women from your big families could moan so lewdly in bed, hahahahaha..."

Cheng Kexin's face was filled with shame and anger; just as she was about to lash out, the call was hung up.

Her pretty face was flushed, and she returned the phone to Chen Che, but she didn't dare look up at him.

Thinking of what happened last night, she was so ashamed she wished she could disappear.

Although she had been prepared for a long time and had a very good impression of Chen Che, the first experience still exceeded her expectations.

It was truly too comfortable!

That feeling of being in ecstasy—once you've experienced it, you can't help but want more!

Especially when Chen Che guided the True Qi in her body to break through as a Martial Artist, it was truly painful yet pleasurable.

And at the moment of the breakthrough, her body also reached its limit; the double stimulation surged up at the same time, and it really felt like she was going to ascend to heaven.

"He will call again to notify us of the transaction location; we are very passive right now."

Cheng Kexin tried to ease the restlessness in her heart by changing the subject.

Chen Che gave a hum and said, "Senior Sister, I will not tolerate him threatening me so unscrupulously; I will have Shen Qi investigate it right now."

"Shen Qi?"

Cheng Kexin was stunned and asked, "Shen Qi of the Qibao Association?"

"Yes."

"How do you know him?"

Cheng Kexin was puzzled; Chen Che had only returned to the city for a few days, yet he actually knew the king of the Shanghai underworld.

And he even addressed him by his name, asking him to help handle matters.

This was a bit bizarre!

"We got to know each other through a fight," Chen Che answered with a smile.

At this, Cheng Kexin was even more puzzled.

"Buzz, buzz..."

Before Chen Che could make the call, Shen Qi called him first.

Chen Che answered, and Shen Qi's respectful voice came through.

"Master, the matter with the Feng Family has been settled. Feng Yuan is dead, and the Feng Family's assets, totaling three billion, have all been transferred to the Qibao Association. As for the members of the Feng Family, I have also handled them all properly."

Chen Che nodded, expressing his approval: "Well done."

"Thank you for the praise, Master; this is my duty!" Having received Chen Che's praise, Shen Qi was very happy and felt a great sense of accomplishment.

"By the way, I have something I need you to do," Chen Che said.

Shen Qi said respectfully: "Master, please give your orders. It is my honor to be able to do things for you."

"Help me find a person nicknamed Scorpion; he escaped from the Miaoquan Association last night."

"Understood, I will go do it right now."

"He has something I want in his hands. Remember, I want him alive."

Chen Che's words revealed an authority that could not be refused.

On the other end of the phone, Shen Qi stood straight: "Yes, Doggy understands!"

The call ended, and Chen Che looked at Cheng Kexin, who was staring at him, dumbfounded.

"Are... are you sure you were on the phone with Shen Qi?" Cheng Kexin could not believe that the person on the phone with Chen Che was really Shen Qi.

"Yes, what's wrong?" Chen Che admitted calmly, looking like someone showing off without even realizing it.

As the Commander of the Law Enforcement Bureau, Cheng Kexin knew better than anyone what kind of status Shen Qi held in Shanghai.

The Qibao Association was originally just a bar of less than twenty square meters, but relying on his own courage and his brothers, Shen Qi had fought his way to his own world step by step.

Although the Qibao Association could not compare to the Law Enforcement Bureau, as a private organization, the Qibao Association was undoubtedly the dominant force in Shanghai.

Even the Cheng Family did not dare to provoke him easily, and even the Zhang Family, the number one noble clan in Shanghai, had to give Shen Qi some face.

Yet such a person actually called Chen Che "Master," and his words were filled with a reverence that was humble and submissive to the extreme!

"Are you sure you aren't lying to me?" Cheng Kexin stared at Chen Che's expression, still unable to believe it.

Chen Che chuckled: "Of course I'm not lying to you."

"Buzz, buzz..."

In less than five minutes, Chen Che's phone rang again.

It was Shen Qi calling again.
