Chapter 103: The Chain Trap
Chen Xue Wen’s words left Zhou Jing Hui and Little Ma completely stunned.
The two exchanged glances, neither daring to utter another word. At this moment, they fully grasped just how insane Chen Xue Wen truly was—and that he genuinely would kill Zhou Jing Hui’s wife and children!
Suppressing the fear clawing at his heart, Zhou Jing Hui spoke in a low voice, “Brother Wen, I… I didn’t know you’ve been through so much.”
“Honestly, there’s no real grudge between us.”
“I was the one who gave you the arcade, and I paid you a lot of money.”
“Why… why are you making things so hard for me?”
Chen Xue Wen let out a long sigh, then suddenly smiled.
He draped an arm around Zhou Jing Hui’s shoulder and laughed, “Brother Hui, I’m not trying to make things hard for you.”
“It’s just that, right now, I can’t think of anyone else who can help me!”
“Brother Hui, you’ve helped me so many times—just help me one more time.”
Zhou Jing Hui was dumbfounded. “Help… help you!?”
“What exactly do you want me to do?”
“Snake is too crazy! He… he won’t listen to me! There’s nothing I can do to help with this!”
Chen Xue Wen chuckled. “Brother Hui, I don’t need you to talk to him!”
“I need you to help me kill him!”
One sentence was enough to make Zhou Jing Hui jump up. Even Little Ma was utterly shocked and exclaimed, “Chen Xue Wen, are you insane!?”
Zhou Jing Hui’s eyes widened. “Chen Xue Wen, do you even hear yourself?”
“Kill Snake?”
“Damn it, do you think I’m some kind of immortal?”
“Did you come here to make a wish or something?”
Chen Xue Wen smiled. “Brother Hui, don’t get so worked up.”
Zhou Jing Hui raged, “How could I not!?”
“Do you think Snake is that easy to kill?”
“If he were, why do you think Hao Wen, Uncle Quan, and I just handed over the Old Square without a fight?”
“Damn it, kill him?”
“Even if Hao Wen, Uncle Quan, and I worked together, we might still fail to take him down!”
“And if we fail, do you really think we’d have a good ending?”
Chen Xue Wen merely smiled, letting Zhou Jing Hui vent his frustrations. Once he was done, Chen Xue Wen chuckled, “Brother Hui, success comes from effort!”
“Since I’ve come to you, I obviously have a plan.”
“As long as you help me, tonight, we can definitely kill Snake!”
Zhou Jing Hui furrowed his brows. He knew Chen Xue Wen was full of schemes—did he really have a plan?
But thinking about Snake’s madness, Zhou Jing Hui shook his head. “This is impossible!”
“I can help you with anything else, but not this.”
“How about this—you name a price. I’ll give you money, and you let my wife and kids go.”
“I won’t get involved in your grudge with Snake. How about that?”
Chen Xue Wen let go of him and leaned back against the sofa, his smile turning cold. “Brother Hui, are you messing with me?”
“If I don’t kill Snake tonight, my brothers and I either die in Peaceful City, or we have to flee.”
“Even if you give me money, I have to live long enough to spend it!”
“Brother Hui, let me warn you—if I die, your wife and son will go with me!”
Zhou Jing Hui’s face darkened instantly. He gritted his teeth, remaining silent for a long while, before finally speaking in a low voice. “What exactly do you want to do?”
“I’ll tell you now—my men aren’t as many as Snake’s.”
“If we fight head-on, we’ll lose for sure!”
“You better not be planning some stupid suicide mission!”
Chen Xue Wen laughed. “Relax, this is between me and Snake—my people will lead the charge.”
“Brother Hui, I just need you to help me a little.”
Zhou Jing Hui was surprised. Was Chen Xue Wen really this confident?
He looked at Chen Xue Wen. “What’s your plan?”
Chen Xue Wen grinned. “Last night, I took out two of Snake’s top men. Right now, he must be searching everywhere to kill me.”
“As long as I show up somewhere, he’ll definitely send his men after me!”
“That way, his defenses will be weak.”
“I can use this chance to take him out!”
Zhou Jing Hui frowned. This plan sounded too simple.
“Chen Xue Wen, do you really think Snake is an idiot?”
“You think just showing your face will make him send all his men after you?”
“Besides, you only have five guys. Even combined, you’re no match for him! What do you plan to fight him with?”
Zhou Jing Hui didn’t hesitate to tear the plan apart.
Chen Xue Wen chuckled. “That’s exactly why I came to you.”
Zhou Jing Hui’s expression changed. “You want me to send my men to help you surround Snake!?”
“Chen Xue Wen, forget it!”
“You know how strong Snake is. His men are all ruthless killers.”
“Even if I send people to help, there’s no guarantee we’ll take him down. And if he escapes, I might as well be dead already!”
Chen Xue Wen smiled calmly. “Brother Hui, like I said, you don’t have to do much.”
“I just need you to lure all of Snake’s men away.”
Zhou Jing Hui was stunned. “What… do you mean?”
Chen Xue Wen grinned. “The plan I just told you—that’s just the surface level.”
“If I show up somewhere, Snake will send people after me, but he won’t send all of them.”
“He’ll still keep about ten men close by.”
“With just five of us, we won’t even get close.”
Zhou Jing Hui nodded. If he were in Snake’s place, he would do the same.
Chen Xue Wen continued, “That’s where you come in, Brother Hui.”
“You go to Snake and tell him I came to you, trying to form an alliance to kill him tonight.”
“And while you’re at it, tell him my plan.”
Zhou Jing Hui’s eyes widened. “What!?”
“What the hell are you trying to do?”
Chen Xue Wen grinned. “You tell Snake everything. Then pretend to join him and help lure me out.”
“Convince him that if he sends all his men away, I’ll fall into his trap.”
“Then, at the last moment, you and your men turn on him.”
“Snake is desperate for revenge—he will take the bait!”
“That way, Snake will be left completely unprotected!”
Zhou Jing Hui was dumbstruck. He hadn’t expected Chen Xue Wen to set up such an elaborate chain trap.
And in that moment, he saw just how cunning Chen Xue Wen truly was.
After a long silence, Zhou Jing Hui looked at Chen Xue Wen and asked, “You think Snake will believe me?”
“I’m not even close with him. In fact, we’ve had conflicts before.”
“Why would he trust me with his life?”
Chen Xue Wen chuckled. “I have a way to make him believe you!”
