Chapter 626: Chapter 257: Hiring Mercenaries to Kill Yang Chen and Ning Shaoqing (Part 3)
Jiang Anbang: "Haha... Well, there’s no choice. Without evidence, I can’t simply trust you. You’re the one seeking my help, so naturally, you have to make concessions and sacrifices, right?"
Ning Shaolong fell silent.
Jiang Anbang reassured him, "Don’t worry. I’m only safeguarding myself, not keeping evidence to threaten you. Once you fulfill your promise, I’ll delete the video in front of you, won’t I? Besides, after you really take over the Ning Family, even if they find out you and I teamed up to take down Ning Shaoqing, what can they do? You’ll already control the Ning Family; whoever dares to oppose you, just kick them out. See who still dares to oppose you."
Thinking about eliminating Ning Shaoqing and replacing him as the future successor of the Ning Family, Ning Shaolong wasn’t as thorough in his considerations now.
"Alright! I accept your terms!" Ning Shaolong said.
Jiang Anbang laughed heartily, "Refreshing! Working with someone like you is exciting. Come on, let’s get started."
Speaking, Jiang Anbang took out his phone, turned on the video recording function, and aimed the camera at Ning Shaolong.
Ning Shaolong adjusted his emotions and, as Jiang Anbang requested, spoke about teaming up with him to take down Ning Shaoqing and Yang Chen.
Once the recording was done, Jiang Anbang laughed with great satisfaction.
"Eldest Young Master Ning, here’s to a successful collaboration and mutual benefit!" Jiang Anbang said with a smile.
Ning Shaolong joined in with a hearty laugh, "Here’s to a successful collaboration and mutual benefit!"
The two reached an agreement and began to formulate a detailed action plan.
Killing an ordinary person gives plenty of options, but now they’re targeting the Ning Family heir and Yang Chen, who could sweep the gambling stone world in Hai City.
Ordinary people won’t do; they must hire a professional hitman.
Hiring a domestic hitman might leak information and leave hidden dangers for themselves, as no one can guarantee a hitman won’t blackmail them in the future for more benefits.
Thus, the two decided to hire professional hitmen from the Golden Triangle area.
Ning Shaolong currently lacks power, money, and connections, unable to hire hitmen even if he wanted.
Therefore, Jiang Anbang must handle this.
Since Wang Anshuang can no longer manage the Treasure Hunting Pavilion, this task is entrusted to him.
Carrying Jiang Anbang’s instructions, Wang Anshuang headed to Southern Myanmar at dawn to find hitmen.
Yang Chen and Cheng Junjun slept until noon, worn out and trembling, unwilling to get out of bed.
After lunch, they went to Xuanwu Lake, Drum Tower, and other attractions to play, arriving at Qinhuai River at night to admire its beautiful night view.
After ten o’clock, Ning Shaoqing and Ning Shaolong met up with Yang Chen.
Tonight, they’re headed to Jade Convergence, one of Jinling City’s three major Gambling Stone Workshops, with scale and strength second only to Treasure Hunting Pavilion.
Without support from major families, Boss Cheng Shengjun relied on his strength to earn his share in Jinling City’s gambling stone industry.
The gambling stone circle is not big, and the news of Treasure Hunting Pavilion’s stones being screened by instruments has spread, along with Ning Shaoqing having invited Yang Chen from Hai City to sweep all Jinling City’s Gambling Stone Workshops.
Thus, when Yang Chen and his party arrived at Jade Convergence, Cheng Shengjun received word from his staff and hurriedly came over personally.
"Haha...Greetings to the two young masters of Ning Family. This is the renowned Mr. Yang Chen, right? It’s an honor. I’m Cheng Shengjun, the owner of Jade Convergence. Your presence here truly brings glory to our establishment. Come, please follow me; let’s have some tea before we play." Cheng Shengjun said politely.
Yang Chen’s group entered Cheng Shengjun’s office.
Cheng Shengjun promptly wrote a 30 million check and placed it on the table, "I won’t say much. Split this check among yourselves, hoping that Brother Chen shows mercy. Okay?"
Ning Shaoqing: "Haha...Boss Cheng, what’s the deal? We just came to gamble, and you hand us a check to leave before we even start?"
Cheng Shengjun: "I’ve heard of Brother Chen’s heroic feats, and I know better than to provoke you. So, paying to avoid trouble, hoping you all spare us. I don’t mind you laughing at us; our stones have indeed been screened by instruments. Among the 250 stones in our store, only one contains jadeite. We don’t want Brother Chen to expose us, or else we can’t continue. Hereafter, if you need anything, feel free to ask, I won’t refuse if I can help. Brother Chen, Young Masters Ning, can you show some leniency?"
Wow, his immediate surrender and offering is a bit embarrassing.
A smiling face should not be slapped, especially by someone so aware and proper.
Yang Chen replied with a smile, "We just came to have fun, Boss Cheng is making a mountain out of a molehill."
Cheng Shengjun: "No no no, if Brother Chen picks that stone, others would know the rest are worthless, and who would continue to play? So, I’m begging Brother Chen; I’ll personally give you another 10 million. Please show mercy. Okay? We can’t compete with Treasure Hunting Pavilion and Mingcui Square; this is the highest gratitude amount I can offer. Hope Brother Chen and the two young masters don’t find it little."
Saying this, Cheng Shengjun truly signed another 10 million check and handed it to Yang Chen.
This left Yang Chen feeling quite embarrassed.
