Chapter 106: I Want to Kill Chen Xue Wen with My Own Hands
At Zhou Jing Hui’s house.
Little Ma had been out for over an hour before finally riding his motorcycle back home.
As soon as he stepped inside, Zhou Jing Hui immediately approached him. “How did it go?”
Suppressing the unease in his heart, Little Ma spoke in a low voice. “As per your orders, I tailed him for over half an hour, then pretended to lose track and came back.”
Zhou Jing Hui frowned. “Did you see Yu Xia and the child?”
Little Ma shook his head.
Zhou Jing Hui let out a sigh. “Damn it, Chen Xue Wen, that bastard is truly cunning.”
“I just hope Yu Xia and the kid aren’t suffering!”
Little Ma consoled him, “Brother Hui, they should be fine. Chen Xue Wen still wants to work with us. He wouldn’t dare harm Yu Xia and the child.”
Zhou Jing Hui let out a disdainful laugh. “Work with me?”
“Hmph, Chen Xue Wen must be delusional!”
“Tonight, I’ll show him what I’m capable of!”
Little Ma was stunned for a moment. “Brother Hui, you mean…?”
Zhou Jing Hui shot him a look. “What? You really think I would actually work with that piece of trash?”
“I was just deceiving him!”
Recalling Chen Xue Wen’s words, Little Ma realized that Chen Xue Wen had already predicted Zhou Jing Hui wouldn’t cooperate with him.
Back then, Little Ma had assumed it was just speculation. But now, he knew for certain—Chen Xue Wen truly understood Zhou Jing Hui inside and out.
This realization filled Little Ma with a deep sense of awe. Chen Xue Wen was no ordinary man. His intelligence and cunning were beyond comparison.
Sitting on the sofa, Zhou Jing Hui sneered, “Chen Xue Wen, you may be full of tricks, but you’re far too arrogant.”
“You really think dangling Old Square as bait would fool me into working for you?”
“Hmph, even if you really do manage to take out Snake, I still wouldn’t dare touch Old Square.”
“Instead of that, I might as well kill you first to quell my anger and avenge my uncle and cousin!”
Little Ma knew the uncle and cousin Zhou Jing Hui was referring to—Zhou Wan Cheng and Zhou Hao.
Zhou Jing Hui’s backing had been Zhou Wan Cheng, but recently, both Zhou Wan Cheng and Zhou Hao had died under mysterious circumstances.
Zhou Jing Hui had always suspected Chen Xue Wen was responsible. He had investigated the matter thoroughly, and now, he was clearly seizing this opportunity to take revenge.
At that moment, Little Ma finally understood why Chen Xue Wen had been targeting Zhou Jing Hui relentlessly.
Zhou Jing Hui wanted revenge.
And so did Chen Xue Wen.
But what Zhou Jing Hui didn’t realize was that Chen Xue Wen had already seen through his entire plan.
Leaning in closer, Little Ma whispered, “Brother Hui, what’s the plan?”
“Yu Xia and the child are still in his hands. We need to think this through carefully.”
Zhou Jing Hui smirked. “Didn’t Chen Xue Wen say it himself? He’ll make sure Snake’s men discover where Yu Xia and the child are.”
“Tonight, after luring Chen Xue Wen out, I’ll go and rescue Yu Xia and the child. Once they’re safe, there’ll be nothing holding me back.”
“That’s when I’ll take Chen Xue Wen out for good!”
“I’ve already gathered my men. Tonight, you take a few brothers and go rescue your sister-in-law and nephew.”
Taking a deep breath, Little Ma spoke in a low voice, “Brother Hui, can I lead the team to ambush Chen Xue Wen?”
“I want to kill Chen Xue Wen with my own hands!”
Zhou Jing Hui glanced at Little Ma, then burst into laughter. “What, still holding a grudge for how Chen Xue Wen humiliated you before?”
Little Ma clenched his teeth, remaining silent. Zhou Jing Hui was well aware of the times Chen Xue Wen had slapped Little Ma across the face before.
Smirking, Zhou Jing Hui said, “Fine, I’ll let you handle it!”
“Tonight, take thirty men and surround Chen Xue Wen!”
“Remember—make sure he dies!”
Little Ma slowly nodded. “Brother Hui, I won’t disappoint you!”
Satisfied, Zhou Jing Hui nodded before heading upstairs to rest.
As he watched Zhou Jing Hui walk away, a sharp glint flickered in Little Ma’s eyes…
…
Old Square, Electronic Dynasty.
Snake sat in his office, rage seething from his body. The room was in complete disarray—broken furniture, shattered glass, and scattered documents littered the floor. His fury had left a mark on everything around him.
A group of his men stood before him, their heads hanging low in shame, faces stiff with embarrassment.
“Useless! All of you!” Snake roared, his voice thick with venom. “Thirty men—THIRTY! You surrounded five people, and what happened? Not a single hair on them was harmed, but we lost two of our own!”
He slammed his fist against the desk, veins bulging from his forehead. “How the hell did I end up with a bunch of deadweights like you?” His rage-filled eyes swept over the room, daring someone to offer an explanation.
Of course, Snake had every right to be furious. Last night’s ambush on Chen Xue Wen had been a complete disaster. The target walked away without a scratch, while his own men took the hit. Three Eye was in the hospital, unconscious and barely clinging to life. Leopard had been captured. It was a humiliating defeat. If word got out, Snake would be a laughingstock in the underworld.
A man stepped forward cautiously, lowering his voice, “Brother Snake, it’s not entirely the brothers’ fault.”
“Oh?” Snake’s eyes darkened dangerously.
“That bastard Chen Xue Wen is a sneaky one. He set a trap, and our guys fell right into it.”
Snake sneered. “Sneaky? He’s just five men. You couldn’t handle FIVE men? How the hell am I supposed to keep my reputation with clowns like you?”
His men shifted uncomfortably, but no one dared to speak. The tension was thick, and Snake let out another string of curses before his wife, Lu Jin Huan, finally intervened.
“Enough!” she snapped. “Losing your temper here won’t fix anything. The damage is done. What matters now is how we clean up this mess and restore your reputation.”
Her sharp tone made Snake pause. He clenched his fists, still seething.
“If we don’t deal with Chen Xue Wen soon, people will start thinking you’re weak. Next thing you know, every street rat in this city will be shitting on your name.”
Snake exhaled heavily. “You think I don’t want him dead? The bastard has vanished into thin air! We’ve checked his store—just a few clerks there. And with the Law Enforcement Team patrolling everywhere, I can’t even send people to trash the place!”
Lu Jin Huan frowned, deep in thought. “Chen Xue Wen must be in hiding. But Peaceful City isn’t that big. He won’t be able to stay hidden for long.”
She crossed her arms. “Send out more men. Search the city. Find him. It’s better than sitting here sulking. And don’t forget—Leopard is still in his hands. We need a plan to get him back.”
Snake sighed, realizing she was right. He had no other choice. With a wave of his hand, he ordered his men to spread out and search for any sign of Chen Xue Wen.
By mid-morning, one of his men came running back, panting heavily. “Brother Snake! I’ve got news!”
Snake’s eyes sharpened. “Did you find him?”
The man shook his head. “No. But I just got word—Chen Xue Wen was seen at Zhou Jing Hui’s house this morning.”
Snake’s brow furrowed. “So?”
The man hesitated before delivering the bombshell. “It looks like Chen Xue Wen… took Zhou Jing Hui’s wife and kid.”
The entire room fell silent.
Snake and Lu Jin Huan’s eyes widened simultaneously. This was serious.
“Are you sure?” Snake demanded.
“Positive. I’ve got a guy inside Zhou Jing Hui’s crew. He saw it happen with his own eyes. And now, Zhou Jing Hui has called all his men back to his house.”
Snake’s expression darkened further. “What the hell is that bastard up to?”
Lu Jin Huan’s eyes glimmered with understanding. “Husband, think about it. That dog Chen Xue Wen… what if he’s planning to use Zhou Jing Hui’s wife and kid as leverage?”
Snake’s fists clenched. “You mean—he’s trying to force Zhou Jing Hui to work with him? To use him against us?”
Lu Jin Huan nodded grimly. “If that’s the case, we’ve got trouble.”
Snake’s breath was heavy. Chen Xue Wen alone was nothing. Zhou Jing Hui was nothing.
But together?
That was a different story.
This was no longer just a hunt. It was war.
