Chapter 105: Snake Must Die, and So Must Zhou Jing Hui!
Little Ma’s face turned pale, his voice stuttering in panic. “You… what did you just say?”
“What nonsense are you spouting?”
Chen Xue Wen chuckled, “I’m saying, Zhou Jing Hui’s son… his blood type doesn’t match either of his parents’!”
“Tsk, tell me, was he switched at birth? Or…” He smirked, eyeing Little Ma with a leisurely grin. “Or did someone put a green hat on Zhou Jing Hui?”
Little Ma’s expression turned even more alarmed. His eyes widened. “You… you better stop talking nonsense!”
“This… this… how could this be possible?”
Chen Xue Wen’s smile deepened. “Whether it’s possible or not, the people involved would know best.”
“Oh, right, Brother Little Ma, if I recall correctly, you have B-type blood, don’t you?”
Little Ma involuntarily shivered and blurted out, “What does… what does that have to do with me?”
Chen Xue Wen chuckled, “I recently met a friend who knows you quite well.”
“He told me that you and Sister-in-law came from the same place.”
“And back then, the two of you were madly in love!”
Little Ma’s face turned deathly white. He remained silent.
Chen Xue Wen’s smile remained. “I also heard that later, you got into some trouble and ended up behind bars for a few years.”
“After you got out, Sister-in-law married Zhou Jing Hui.”
“But she still held onto the past and even introduced you to work for Zhou Jing Hui.”
Chen Xue Wen smirked, “Now that I think about it, Brother Little Ma, you’ve been a lucky star for Brother Hui!”
“Tsk tsk, Zhou Jing Hui had no kids for years, yet just one year after you arrived, he had a son.”
“Brother Little Ma, I never took you for the Child-delivering Goddess of Mercy!”
Little Ma’s face flushed red with anger. He gritted his teeth. “Chen Xue Wen, you… what exactly do you want!?”
Chen Xue Wen’s smile faded. He suddenly leaned in close and whispered coldly, “I told you. I want to kill Snake!”
Little Ma took a deep breath. “You want me to help you kill Snake?”
Chen Xue Wen shook his head. “Not just Snake. I also need you to help me kill Zhou Jing Hui!”
Little Ma’s eyes widened in shock. “What!?”
“Why… why him?”
“Brother Hui already agreed to cooperate with you!”
Chen Xue Wen shook his head again. “Zhou Jing Hui will never cooperate with me.”
“Tonight, he’ll definitely side with Snake and try to ambush me.”
Little Ma was dumbfounded. Zhou Jing Hui had clearly agreed to work with Chen Xue Wen without hesitation. Why would Chen Xue Wen believe otherwise?
Standing with his hands behind his back, Chen Xue Wen’s voice grew colder. “Snake must die, and Zhou Jing Hui must die too!”
“Only if they’re both dead will I have no loose ends to worry about.”
Little Ma was utterly speechless. He had thought Chen Xue Wen only wanted to kill Snake and take over Old Square.
But now, it was clear—Chen Xue Wen’s ambition went far beyond that.
He even wanted to take out Zhou Jing Hui?
Little Ma took another deep breath, his voice trembling. “Chen Xue Wen… are you insane?”
“Even if I help you, do you think we can actually kill them?”
“Forget Zhou Jing Hui. You can’t even take out Snake!”
After all, Chen Xue Wen had only five men, including himself.
Snake had fifty or sixty underlings. Zhou Jing Hui had nearly a hundred.
Compared to these two, Chen Xue Wen was like a baby facing off against two giants. How could he possibly win?
Chen Xue Wen smiled. “I’m not crazy.”
“As long as you help me, both of them will die.”
Little Ma hesitated. “Me!?”
“Chen Xue Wen, you’re overestimating me! I’m just a dog under Zhou Jing Hui. How could I pull this off!?”
Chen Xue Wen patted Little Ma’s shoulder and chuckled. “If I say you can do it, then you can do it!”
“Did you really think I went to Zhou Jing Hui today to negotiate?”
“Little Ma, the one I truly want to cooperate with… is you!”
“The plan I designed was for you from the start!”
Little Ma was utterly bewildered. “What… what do you mean?”
Chen Xue Wen’s smirk deepened. He slowly began to explain his strategy to Little Ma.
By the time he finished, Little Ma was completely dumbfounded.
Now, he truly understood what cunning and devious meant!
This plan of Chen Xue Wen’s—
It was brilliant.
It was devious.
It was unpredictable.
With a mix of deception and reality, it was impossible to guard against.
Little Ma furrowed his brows, deep in thought.
Chen Xue Wen smiled calmly. “Brother Little Ma, is there even anything left to think about?”
“Help me kill Snake and Zhou Jing Hui, and you’ll be able to take your woman and child and disappear far away.”
“What? Can you really bear to watch your beloved woman sleep beside Zhou Jing Hui every night? Can you really stand your child calling him ‘dad’?”
Little Ma’s face turned pale. He clenched his teeth, his body trembling slightly.
Chen Xue Wen chuckled. “Besides, Little Ma, you don’t have a choice.”
“If you help me, you can take your woman and child far away, start anew.”
“If you don’t help me… heh, if the truth about the child comes out, do you think Zhou Jing Hui will let you off?”
Little Ma gritted his teeth. “I’m not afraid to die!”
Chen Xue Wen sneered. “I know you’re not afraid to die.”
“But what about your woman and your child?”
“Zhou Jing Hui won’t spare you—do you think he’ll spare them?”
“Little Ma, you’re not that naive, are you?”
Little Ma froze, then collapsed to the ground in defeat.
As Chen Xue Wen said, he really had no choice!
After a long silence, Little Ma gritted his teeth and asked, “Chen Xue Wen, how can I trust that you’ll let us go?”
Chen Xue Wen smiled. “Little Ma, you don’t need to trust me. You just need to understand one thing—you and your family are no threat to me.”
“This world is driven by profit.”
“I killed Snake and now plan to kill Zhou Jing Hui for profit.”
“They want to kill me—for profit.”
“As for you… heh, do you think you can affect my interests?”
“Killing you or sparing you—does it make any difference to me?”
Little Ma’s face turned ghostly pale. Though he was unwilling, he had to admit that the gap between him and Chen Xue Wen was too vast.
He had no leverage against him at all!
Chen Xue Wen patted Little Ma on the shoulder. “Once it’s done, I’ll take half of Zhou Jing Hui’s assets.”
“The other half—you take it and leave.”
“This is my promise.”
Little Ma took a deep breath, his heart pounding.
If he could really take half of Zhou Jing Hui’s wealth and escape with his woman and child, his dream would come true!
For years, he had followed Zhou Jing Hui, watching his beloved woman stay by Zhou Jing Hui’s side, hearing his own child call another man ‘father.’
The pain he endured—only he understood it best.
And now, he finally had a chance to turn it all around—a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!
Little Ma looked at Chen Xue Wen and slowly nodded. “Alright. I’ll help you.”
Chen Xue Wen smiled. “Then let’s wish ourselves success.”
He patted Little Ma’s shoulder and, in the same motion, pulled a few strands of his hair.
Little Ma stiffened. “You… what are you doing?”
Chen Xue Wen smirked. “Nothing much.”
“Just getting a paternity test.”
“Little Ma, if anything happens to me tonight, this test result will find its way to Zhou Jing Hui and his men.”
“You understand, don’t you?”
Little Ma’s face darkened. He knew this was Chen Xue Wen’s way of controlling him.
But there was nothing he could do about it. After all, the child was indeed his!
“Don’t worry, I’ll do what I promised!” he gritted out. “But you better keep your word too!”
Chen Xue Wen nodded with a smile. “No problem.”
He pulled out his phone and called Li Er Yong.
Before long, Li Er Yong arrived on a motorcycle.
Lai Hou drove while Li Er Yong followed on the bike, taking a few detours.
To outsiders, it would seem like Little Ma was still tailing them.
Chen Xue Wen handed the bike back to Little Ma and said with a grin, “Alright, you can go report back now.”
Little Ma stepped into the backroom, exchanged a few words with his woman to comfort her, then rode off on his motorcycle.
Chen Xue Wen watched him disappear into the distance before turning back inside.
“Alright, time for the next step.”
“Send the mother and child back. We need to find a place to rest and prepare for tonight’s operation!”
