Chapter 47: He Fei Falls
Chen Xue Wen hung up the phone, his face brimming with satisfaction. He signaled to Li Er Yong and the others, and they promptly left.
Not long after they departed, a group of more than ten men rushed towards the Brothers Game Arcade. Each carried a weapon wrapped in newspaper, their eyes fierce and full of murderous intent.
Leading the charge were the two young men who had just been humiliated earlier.
Upon reaching the arcade, they found the entrance shut tight. The tattooed man at the front scowled. “Damn it, isn’t this place supposed to be open?”
One of the young men immediately panicked. “Brother Leopard, it was open just a moment ago!”
“We told them to close up, but they wouldn’t listen! They even wanted to fight us!”
The tattooed man’s expression darkened as he scanned the surroundings. “Damn it! Who doesn’t know that Old Square is Brother Snake’s turf? Opening shop here is just asking for trouble!”
“Alright, you two, keep an eye on this place for me.”
“If anyone dares to open up again, report to me immediately. Got it?”
…
By noon, Chen Xue Wen and his group met up with Lai Hou. They originally planned to head home for lunch, but upon arrival, they found that Wu Li Hong was nowhere to be seen.
Left with no choice, they settled for a nearby restaurant.
“Where’s Sister Hong?”
“She usually has food ready by this time,” Lai Hou remarked with a frown.
“Could it be that bastard He Fei scared her off last night?”
Chen Xue Wen shook his head. “I’m not sure.”
“Monkey, how’s the information gathering?”
Lai Hou responded immediately. “Brother Wen, I checked. That brat He Fei has fooled around with plenty of women these past few years, but most of them didn’t have any solid backing.”
“But six months ago, he got involved with a girl who frequently visited his Internet Cafe.”
“They say this girl comes from a decent family—her parents work in government offices, and she even has an uncle in the Provincial Law Enforcement Team.”
Chen Xue Wen’s eyes lit up. “What’s her current situation?”
“She’s away at university.”
“He Fei visits her twice a month.”
Chen Xue Wen frowned slightly. “Visits her?”
Lai Hou nodded. “Yeah.”
“She treats He Fei as her boyfriend.”
“I’ve got a friend who knows her. Her QQ album is full of pictures of them together. They seem pretty close.”
Chen Xue Wen furrowed his brows. This was different from what he had expected.
Originally, he planned to find someone powerful and frame He Fei for something like assault, getting him thrown into prison.
But now, the two of them were actually in a romantic relationship. That plan wouldn’t work.
“Is there anything else?” Chen Xue Wen asked.
Lai Hou shrugged. “Nothing.”
“I’m not too familiar with He Fei’s crowd, so I don’t know much more.”
“But one thing is for sure—this guy is a total womanizer.”
“I heard he brags all the time about how many girls he’s been with—claims it’s over a hundred.”
“But not a single one has come forward against him.”
“On the contrary, many of them treat him like a prince.”
“This guy is a master manipulator when it comes to women!”
Chen Xue Wen pondered for a moment, then suddenly chuckled. “Who would’ve thought? He Fei is quite the romantic!”
“But while he might deceive these girls, can he deceive their parents?”
Lai Hou was surprised. “What do you mean?”
Chen Xue Wen smirked. “Let’s eat first. We’ve got work to do this afternoon.”
After their meal, Chen Xue Wen had Lai Hou call his contact. Through that friend, they accessed the girl’s QQ album, extracted the photos of her and He Fei, and printed them out.
Once everything was prepared, Chen Xue Wen wrote a detailed letter exposing He Fei’s relationship with the girl, describing their involvement from the beginning to the present.
He placed everything into an envelope, then handed it to a random kid on the street. He gave the child ten yuan and instructed him to deliver the envelope to the girl’s father.
With everything done, they returned home.
About two hours later, the roaring of motorcycles filled the air outside.
Chen Xue Wen peeked out the window and saw a group of riders revving their engines at the alley entrance.
At the forefront was He Fei!
His head was bandaged, his expression furious as he and his men blocked the alleyway.
He shouted loudly, “Chen Xue Wen! Get out here!”
Chen Xue Wen stepped out with a grin. “Well, well, if it isn’t Brother Fei.”
“What’s this? You got out so soon?”
He Fei’s face was ice-cold as he pointed a finger at Chen Xue Wen. “Chen Xue Wen, you cowardly turtle, you actually set me up last night?”
“Lucky for me, my Big Brother has connections and got me out!”
“Damn it, you think this is over? You and I have unfinished business!”
Chen Xue Wen smirked coldly. “Since you’re out, why not behave yourself?”
“What are you doing here with so many people? Trying to get locked up again?”
He Fei let out a wild laugh. “Hah! Are you trying to scare me?”
“Listen up, I’ve got backing too. I’m not afraid of the Law Enforcement Team.”
“But you, kid, better watch yourself.”
“Next time you walk the streets at night, maybe wear a helmet. Wouldn’t want to get knocked out and lose your life, now would you?”
The gangsters behind He Fei all burst into laughter.
Chen Xue Wen narrowed his eyes slightly. That was a blatant threat.
It seemed He Fei needed to be dealt with soon. Leaving him around would only be a ticking time bomb.
Yet, over two hours had passed already. Why hadn’t the girl’s father made a move? Could he have chosen the wrong target this time?
As Chen Xue Wen was pondering, suddenly, the distant wail of sirens filled the air. Several Law Enforcement Team vehicles roared onto the scene.
Hearing the sirens, He Fei’s crew grew visibly uneasy.
A lackey whispered, “Brother Fei, maybe… maybe we should run?”
He Fei smacked him hard across the head. “Run? Run for what?”
“Damn it, we were just riding our bikes through here. What’s there to be afraid of?”
“Since when is it illegal to ride motorcycles in this area?”
“The Law Enforcement Team? Pfft, I’d like to see them try and lay a finger on me!”
His lackeys sighed in relief, their confidence returning as they grinned at the approaching squad cars.
The vehicles screeched to a halt right in front of He Fei. More than ten officers jumped out, led by none other than Captain Wang.
Seeing Captain Wang, He Fei sneered, “Oh, it’s you again, Captain Wang?”
“Who called the cops this time?”
“Anyway, this has nothing to do with me!”
“I was just passing through on my bike. That ain’t against the law, is it?”
Captain Wang’s face was grim. He didn’t bother exchanging words, simply raising his hand. “That’s him. Take him down.”
The officers lunged forward, forcing He Fei to the ground and slapping handcuffs on him.
He Fei was stunned. “Captain Wang, what… what the hell are you doing?”
“What did I do? What gives you the right to arrest me?”
Captain Wang remained icy, saying nothing. He merely gestured for them to shove He Fei into the car.
Still shouting, He Fei was thrown inside. Captain Wang climbed in after him, his jaw clenched as he muttered through gritted teeth, “Shut the hell up, He Fei!”
“You’re done this time.”
“I got direct orders from the Provincial City Enforcement Team to take you in for strict interrogation.”
“With the evidence we’ve got, if you get less than ten years, consider yourself a damn miracle worker.”
He Fei was utterly dumbfounded.
Behind them, Chen Xue Wen exhaled in relief.
He knew that in the end, the girl’s parents simply couldn’t tolerate their daughter being involved with scum like He Fei.
This time, He Fei was finished.
No matter how charming he was, no matter how well he could manipulate those girls, there was no deceiving their parents.
What kind of parent would let their daughter end up with a man whose hands were stained with filth?
