Dragon Head Supreme Chapter 173
Chapter 173: Revenge Must Be Served
Quan Ding Kun trembled from head to toe, his face pale as a corpse. He never expected Chen Xue Wen to be so well-informed about the situation in Three Rivers County.
At this moment, all thoughts of deception abandoned him. He stammered, his voice quivering, “Brother Wen, I… I really tried my best.”
“Those two men have been following Lu Jin Po for over a decade. They’re trained. Word is, they used to be scouts in the military. They’re not the kind of people an average street thug can handle.”
“Brother Wen, I’m just a small-time boss in this town. I don’t have that kind of power… Please, give me another chance…”
By the time he finished, tears were already welling up in his eyes. Fear had taken over completely.
Chen Xue Wen shook his head. “No can do.”
“If you say something, you gotta follow through.”
“But I get it, Brother Kun. I understand your struggles.”
“So let’s keep it simple. I just need two of your fingers.”
Before Quan Ding Kun could react, Chen Xue Wen struck like lightning. His grip was vice-like as he seized Quan Ding Kun’s right hand. With a swift and precise motion, two fingers were severed clean.
A bloodcurdling scream ripped through the air as Quan Ding Kun clutched his mutilated hand, his face contorted in sheer agony.
Chen Xue Wen casually tossed the severed fingers aside. “Brother Kun, let this be a lesson to you.”
“Next time you do a job for me, make sure it’s flawless.”
With that, he flicked a car key onto the ground in front of Quan Ding Kun and grinned. “Pleasure doing business, Brother Kun.”
“Go get some rest. When Lu Jin Po comes back, you’ll be the one to handle him for me.”
Watching the scene unfold, Little Yang’s expression shifted once again. Chen Xue Wen was actually letting Quan Ding Kun go?
He opened his mouth, ready to protest, but before he could utter a word, Chen Xue Wen stepped up to him and gave him a knowing look.
Little Yang took a deep breath, swallowed his rage, and kept quiet—for now.
Quan Ding Kun, shaking like a leaf, snatched up the car keys as if they were his last hope of salvation. He stammered his gratitude before scrambling into the car, flooring the gas, and disappearing into the night without so much as a backward glance.
The moment Quan Ding Kun’s car vanished from sight, Little Yang finally exploded.
“Chen Xue Wen, what the hell was that?!”
Chen Xue Wen cast him a glance. “Quan Ding Kun can’t die. Not like this.”
Little Yang seethed. “Then how do you want him to die?!”
“What, you expect me to just forget about my parents?! You promised me revenge, and now you’re letting him go?”
Chen Xue Wen met his burning gaze with calm resolve. “I gave you my word, and I never break my promises.”
“But we have to be smart. Rushing in headfirst will only get us killed.”
He turned toward the distant Three Rivers County, his tone grave. “Quan Ding Kun’s men already called the cops. The local law enforcement is involved now.”
“They all know we kidnapped him. If he turns up dead, tell me—who do you think they’ll come after?”
“If they find his corpse before sunrise, we’ll all be on the most-wanted list by morning.”
Little Yang froze, his fists clenched tight. Then he gritted his teeth and spat, “I don’t care. If it means avenging my family, I’ll die for it.”
Chen Xue Wen clapped a firm hand on his shoulder. “I know you’re not afraid.”
“But is Quan Ding Kun the only one responsible?”
“Lu Jin Po still walks free. The men who killed your brother? Still breathing. The ones who humiliated your sister-in-law? Untouched. Do you really want to stop here?”
Little Yang went silent, the weight of those words crushing down on him. He knew Chen Xue Wen was right.
“Then what do we do?” he finally asked, his eyes still burning red. “He got my parents killed. I can’t just let him walk.”
Chen Xue Wen’s lips curled into a cold smile. “Oh, we’ll settle this.”
“But we do it my way.”
“Of course we’re getting payback!”
“And it’s happening tonight!”
Little Yang froze for a second, and the others around him looked just as puzzled. Tonight? How?
They had just let Quan Ding Kun go. How were they supposed to get revenge now?
Chen Xue Wen turned his gaze toward Three Rivers County. “Little Yang, grab your boys and come with me—we’re paying that place another visit.”
“The rest of you, lay low outside the county and wait for my signal. Be ready.”
The crew exchanged glances. The entire county was on high alert after what they had pulled earlier. Heading back there now? That was straight-up crazy.
Wang Zhen Dong couldn’t hold back. “Brother Wen, wait… wouldn’t it be too dangerous to go back now? We just kidnapped Quan Ding Kun, the law enforcement squad is out in full force looking for us! If we go in now, that’s like walking straight into a trap.”
Chen Xue Wen shook his head. “Nah, now is the safest time.”
Seeing their doubtful expressions, he chuckled. “You’re all forgetting something—Quan Ding Kun is already back home. He’s safe. Which means, as far as they’re concerned, the kidnapping case is over.”
Realization dawned on them. That’s right—if the hostage was returned unharmed, would the enforcement team really keep up the manhunt?
Chen Xue Wen continued, “I made sure Quan Ding Kun’s men beat up Lu Jin Po’s people before I let him go. That way, he’s going to think I forced him into a corner. He’s convinced he’s safe now, that I’ve let him off the hook. He won’t see us coming.”
“So tell me, isn’t this the perfect time to finish the job?”
Little Yang took a deep breath. Damn, Brother Wen’s plan was airtight. It was so clever even they had been fooled for a second. They’d thought he was giving up on revenge, cutting a deal with Quan Ding Kun. But now, they saw the real play—he’d been conning Quan Ding Kun the whole time.
Killing him right after abducting him would have been suicidal. The law enforcement squad would have been all over them, and Lu Jin Po’s crew would have used the chaos to bury them for good.
But now? If Quan Ding Kun went down after making it home, it wouldn’t be on them.
Little Yang clapped his hands. “Brother Wen, you’re a genius!”
Chen Xue Wen smirked. “This is just part of the plan.”
Little Yang blinked. “Wait, there’s more?”
Chen Xue Wen glanced at his phone. “Yeah. And it’s time. Let’s move.”
This time, there were no doubts.
Little Yang gathered his crew and hopped into a car with Chen Xue Wen, heading straight for Three Rivers County. Wang Zhen Dong stayed behind with the rest of the men, ready to move at a moment’s notice.
All the way there, Chen Xue Wen kept checking his phone, calculating every move.
Once they reached the county, he guided them through the streets, finally stopping near a large compound. They parked in a side alley a street away.
The moment the car stopped, a man emerged from the shadows, carrying two bags. It was Lai Hou.
He dropped the bags onto the hood, lowering his voice. “Brother Wen, the clothes you asked for.”
Chen Xue Wen checked the bags and nodded approvingly. He passed them to Little Yang. “You and one of your boys—get changed.”
Little Yang hesitated. “We… gotta change outfits?”
Chen Xue Wen just smiled. “You’ll see.”
