Car-hailing Driver: Rewards from Complaints

Chapter 627: Chapter 257: Hiring Mercenaries to Take Out Yang Chen and Ning Shaoqing (Part 4)

Ning Shaoqing: "Brother Yang, why don’t we just leave it at that? Boss Cheng seems quite sincere, and his concerns are not unfounded. Since he’s shown such sincerity, we should cut him some slack."

Yang Chen: "Alright. If we can’t play, let’s just go."

Cheng Shengjun was extremely grateful to Yang Chen for being lenient and quickly personally saw them off.

The subordinates couldn’t understand it and were quite dissatisfied.

"Brother Jun, do we really have to be so cowardly?"

"Yeah, this is too cowardly, just giving them tens of millions. Even if they pick that stone, it’s not worth tens of millions!"

"This makes the brothers feel really stifled. If it really doesn’t work out, we can play dirty. It’s not like we’ve never done it before, why should we be afraid of them?"

...

Cheng Shengjun sighed and said, "Do you think I want this? But if we let him into the shop to pick stones and he picks the one with goods, others will automatically think the remaining stones are worthless, and no one will buy them. We’ll suffer even more losses. Almost two hundred million worth of goods compared to tens of millions of benefits, I know which is more important. Behind the Treasure Hunting Pavilion is the Jiang Family, but even their reputation is now ruined. Do you want us at Jade Exchange to end up like the Treasure Hunting Pavilion? What would the brothers eat then? Play dirty? The entire gambling stone industry in Hai City was wiped out by him, and you still want to play dirty with him? Do you think we are stronger than the entire Hai City gambling stone industry combined?"

Everyone fell silent; in the face of absolute power, submissive compliance was their best choice.

Spending tens of millions to befriend Yang Chen while keeping the business safe, this deal was worth it no matter how you looked at it.

Ning Shaoqing initially wanted to take Yang Chen to a third, moderately sized Gambling Stone Workshop, Cui Shi Studio.

However, Ning Shaolong suggested it was getting late and they should go early the next day.

So, the group parted ways and went back to rest.

Ning Shaolong was worried that if Yang Chen got through the third Gambling Stone Workshop, he would return to Hai City, and then it would be impossible to catch Ning Shaoqing and Yang Chen in one go.

His plan was to delay Yang Chen for two more days so that Wang Anshuang would have enough time to return with the assassins.

Yang Chen and Cheng Junjun returned to the hotel, took a bath, and just as they were getting Tang Xia, Zhang Lijun called Yang Chen.

Yang Chen: "Ah Jun, what’s up so late?"

Zhang Lijun: "Brother Chen, just now Bangcai called me, saying that someone named Wang Anshuang went there looking for mercenary assassins to kill two people in Jinling. One is named Ning Shaoqing, and the other is Yang Chen. I was stunned when I heard the name Yang Chen and immediately called you to ask if you know someone named Wang Anshuang?"

Yang Chen: "Wang Anshuang? Haha... He’s the confidant lackey of Jiang Anbang, the eldest son of the Jiang Family. Jiang Anbang wants to kill me and Ning Shaoqing, that’s ruthless!"

Zhang Lijun: "The Treasure Hunting Pavilion in Jinling? I remember Jia Ye Mining has a client which is the Treasure Hunting Pavilion in Jinling, and they directly supply raw jade stones to them."

Yang Chen: "Oh, so that’s why Wang Anshuang found his way to Bangcai. Since they’ve come knocking, we must accept, and we need to send out highly skilled people. But the target isn’t me and Ning Shaoqing, it’s Jiang Anbang. Plan this out properly, and explain clearly to Bangcai what needs to be done."

Zhang Lijun: "Yes! If necessary, we can take out Wang Anshuang directly and then send people to Jinling to take out Jiang Anbang. Whether it’s the Jiang Family or the Song Family, they’re all the same in the eyes of mercenaries in the Golden Triangle."

Yang Chen: "Don’t alert the enemy; I also need to know how many people are involved in this matter and if it’s only Jiang Anbang by himself."

Zhang Lijun: "Understood! I know what to do, I’ll handle it well, don’t worry, Brother Chen."

Yang Chen: "Alright, get to work. If anything comes up, call me anytime. My phone will be on 24/7 these days."

After hanging up, a faint cold smile appeared on Yang Chen’s lips.

The Jiang Family is at least a prestigious family, and Jiang Anbang wants to resort to murder because of a Treasure Hunting Pavilion. That’s truly shocking.

So, Yang Chen suspected there might be more to this than just the Treasure Hunting Pavilion, maybe there are other hidden truths.

Now it’s clear how wise it was for Yang Chen to have cultivated Zhang Lijun’s force back then.

If he hadn’t sent him to Southern Myanmar to cultivate his own mercenary force, he wouldn’t have known that Wang Anshuang was now seeking assassins to deal with him.

Since Jiang Anbang has the intention to kill, an eye for an eye, Yang Chen certainly wouldn’t give him a way out.

If Jiang Anbang dies, whether or not there’s evidence, the Jiang Family will surely hold Yang Chen and Ning Shaoqing responsible.

Instead of waiting for them to cause trouble later, it’s better to start taking action against the Jiang Family now.

Yang Chen sent a message to Qiu Yuhong.

"Find out everything about the Jiang Family in Jinling, I need a detailed report before lunch."
