Chapter 1458: I Want to Set a Trap for Him!

Seeing Mai Chengxing kneeling on the ground, his face full of pleading, Ye Chen felt a wave of nausea. He said coldly: "If you still want to return to the United States in this lifetime, then honestly cooperate with me to catch Xuan Fengnian. If you can catch him before he kills again, I will give you a chance to live and go back. Otherwise, as I said, prepare to die in Jin Ling!"

Hearing this, Mai Chengxing naturally dared not have any more rebuttal or resistance. With tears streaming down his face, he said: "Whatever Young Master Ye says, this old man will obey..."

At this moment, he had already realized that the Ye Chen in front of him was a person he could never afford to provoke.

"Not to mention anything else, just Lai Qinghua's ability is already a notch higher than mine, yet he is so respectful to him. From this, one can see that this person is definitely not a creature of the pond..."

"And what is even more powerful is that this person is young, yet he has the heaven-reaching ability to make Lai Qinghua twenty years younger. Just this layer alone is far beyond my own cognition!"

"Although I don't know if he can kill Xuan Fengnian, I know that if I annoy him, he will definitely not let me have an easy time..."

On the phone, Lai Qinghua couldn't help but sigh: "Old Mai, you should have agreed to Young Master Ye long ago. Why bother to get yourself into this state!"

Mai Chengxing was also extremely regretful.

He secretly thought: "How was I to know that he was the noble person who gave you the heaven-reaching opportunity! If I had known a step earlier, I would have done whatever he asked without a word. If I had cooperated well with him then, maybe he would have bestowed a heaven-reaching opportunity upon me too..."

"Now it's too late. I offended him so badly just now. Not only did I not get any benefits, but I also have to bite the bullet and cooperate. Even if I cooperate well, he might not easily let me off afterwards. As for any heaven-reaching opportunity, that is even more out of the question..."

Seeing that Mai Chengxing had finally given up resistance, Ye Chen ordered: "Since you have agreed, then tell me in detail about the specific situation of your meeting yesterday, such as what exactly you two talked about."

Mai Chengxing dared not delay and hurriedly stated all the details of his meeting with Xuan Fengnian yesterday one by one.

There were three very important points in this.

First, Xuan Fengnian's goal in coming to Jin Ling was to find him and then kill him;

Second, Xuan Fengnian asked Mai Chengxing to find a breakthrough from Su Su Zhiyu. From this, it could be confirmed that this guy surnamed Xuan must have received the news from Su Chengfeng, thinking that he had a close relationship with Su Su Zhiyu and could find him through her;

Third, Xuan Fengnian accepted two tasks from Su Chengfeng. The first task was to kill him, and the second task was not yet clear.

After figuring these out, Ye Chen said coldly: "Since you are willing to cooperate with me, then call Xuan Fengnian and tell him that your investigation has made significant progress and ask him to come out for a meeting. I want to set a trap for him and catch a turtle in a jar."

Mai Chengxing hurriedly asked: "Then if he asks me for relevant clues on the phone, what should I say?"

Ye Chen said: "Simple, just say that you want to negotiate terms with him in person before you can give him the relevant clues."

Mai Chengxing asked again: "What are the specific terms?"

Ye Chen said indifferently: "Just say that you feel he is making money too easily. You are so old and have traveled such a long distance, and have been tossing and turning in Jin Ling for several days, which is much harder than his work, so you hope to share a certain amount of the remuneration from him."

Mai Chengxing nodded, but said somewhat nervously: "Young Master Ye, you may not understand Xuan Fengnian. This person is extremely cruel. Last time he asked me to meet at the Fenghuang Mountain Cemetery, it was clearly to give me a warning. If I negotiate terms with him at this time and want to share the money in his hands, he will definitely have the intention to kill me..."

Ye Chen said: "You don't have to worry. Although I am somewhat ashamed of your character, I wouldn't use your life as bait. As long as you cooperate with me to lure Xuan Fengnian out, I will naturally keep you safe."

Although Mai Chengxing was not very confident, he knew there was no other choice at this time, so he could only agree: "People like Xuan Fengnian must be suspicious by nature. Where does Young Master Ye plan to meet him? If the place is too remote, I am afraid he will become vigilant..."

Ye Chen waved his hand: "Ask him to come to the Bai Jinhangong directly. He must know that you are staying here, so only by asking him to meet here is the safest."

Mai Chengxing couldn't help but say: "Young Master Ye, Bai Jinhangong is crowded and located in a busy area. If we fight with Xuan Fengnian here, wouldn't the commotion be too big? If it gets too big and is hard to clean up, there might be unexpected trouble..."

Ye Chen snorted and said: "I asked you to ask him to come here directly just to minimize his suspicion to the greatest extent. And you must also understand that such a person is impossible to agree to meet you here."

As he spoke, Ye Chen added: "He must also have the kind of concerns you just mentioned. If he really has the intention to kill you, he wouldn't dare to kill you directly at Bai Jinhangong. So I believe he will definitely ask you to meet out somewhere, and the location will definitely be chosen by him. That way, he won't have any extra concerns or doubts."

Mai Chengxing nodded, cupped his hands and said: "Young Master Ye, your consideration is still comprehensive. Why don't I call him now!"

"No!" Ye Chen said coldly: "He just met you last night, and you haven't even stepped out of the hotel door today. If you tell him directly that you have clues, he definitely won't believe it."

Mai Chengxing couldn't help but say: "Xuan Fengnian might not know my situation like the back of his hand, right?"

Ye Chen said indifferently: "You and Xuan Fengnian are not the same kind of people. You make money by your craft, and he makes money by killing. Just like a cook and a killer, you are worlds apart. So you are not the same kind of people at all, and you are not in the same dimension at all. You also cannot understand how cautious and meticulous a person who makes money by killing like him is. It is possible that he has been observing you in the dark, so if you make a phone call, you might expose everything."

Mai Chengxing hurriedly asked: "Then what does Young Master Ye mean?"

Ye Chen said: "Follow your original plan, go to the Du family's old house, and call him after you come back."

Mai Chengxing nodded, then looked at Mike, who was motionless beside him, and hurriedly said: "Young Master Ye, please let my great-grandson recover. I will go to the Du family's old house with him."

Ye Chen said indifferently: "Mike will stay here, and my people will naturally take good care of him. If Xuan Fengnian asks about it, just say that Mike was frightened at Fenghuang Mountain last night and is not feeling well today, so you didn't let him follow. I believe Xuan Fengnian won't suspect anything." ===== CHAPTER 1459 =====
