The Whale in the Mountains

Chapter 597 Scrap Metal

"Damn, you dare call Mao-ye by his given name! Kid, what turf are you from?"

This baldy was none other than Ermaozi, the one who set Liu Xiaopan up.

Chen Xiao laughed, "You don't even know who you're dealing with?"

Ermaozi was stunned, "Just who are you?"

At this moment, Liu Xiaopan squeezed in, flattering, "Mao-ye, this is my cousin, Chen Xiao..."

"So it's you!"

Ermaozi's eyes widened instantly, his expression complex, as if contemplating something.

Simultaneously, he quietly pressed a button under the desk.

The action was subtle, but evading Chen Xiao's eyes was impossible.

However, Chen Xiao didn't stop him. Dealing with such a small fry wasn't worth raising even a trace of his guard.

"Tell me, who's behind you, and I might spare your life."

Chen Xiao said calmly.

This Ermaozi was clearly just an ordinary thug, and the one truly plotting against Shanhai One Residence couldn't be such a small character.

"Heh, no wonder you're Jiangbei's Chen-laoda, such arrogance!"

Ermaozi sneered, suddenly changing his tone.

"I heard you're pretty awesome, but no matter how awesome you are, you shouldn't act tough in front of me!"

Chen Xiao didn't expect that, knowing his identity, the other party would still dare to be so arrogant with him.

Could it be that his reputation wasn't loud enough? Causing any Tom, Dick, or Harry to dare swagger in front of him!

He misunderstood.

It wasn't that Chen Xiao's reputation wasn't loud; it was precisely because his name was too famous that everyone in the underworld wanted to step on his head to rise in the ranks.

Just imagine, if Chen-laoda, who shook Jiangbei, fell into his hands, what a glorious thing that would be! Something to brag about for the rest of his life!

Clearly, Ermaozi at this moment held such thoughts.

"Chen, I know you're pretty awesome, but no matter how awesome you are, can you be more awesome than a gun?"

Ermaozi shouted.

At the same time, a burst of rapid footsteps suddenly came from outside the door.

Immediately afterward, four gunmen holding miniature submachine guns filed in, their muzzles aimed straight at Chen Xiao's vital points.

"As long as I give the order, you'll be riddled with holes! Hahahaha..."

Ermaozi laughed, increasingly arrogant. "You dare to act tough with me again! Damn! I've been waiting for this day for a long time!"

"As long as I kill you, I can make a name for myself in the martial world!"

How could Liu Xiaopan have seen such a scene? He was so scared that he wet himself on the spot.

He complained to Chen Xiao, "I told you to bring more people! You wouldn't listen! Now look what's happened!"

Chen Xiao laughed, "Want to kill me with a few pieces of scrap metal?"

"Scrap metal? Are you blind? Those are

Sticky blood flowed all over the floor.

"Ah—"

The scantily clad, seductive woman screamed loudly.

Chen Xiao frowned, flicked his finger, and another playing card flew out, cutting the woman's throat, before flying back into Chen Xiao's hand.

"Too noisy..."

Chen Xiao impatiently picked at his ear, as if he killed the woman simply because she was too loud.

Scared, Liu Xiaopan quickly covered his mouth, afraid that he would scream.

"Now, can you tell me who's really behind you?"

Chen Xiao looked at Ermaozi with a playful expression, the playing cards twirling skillfully in his hand.

Ermaozi's fat face was already devoid of color, cold sweat dripping down his forehead.

"I... my boss is Lin Zhennan..."

Ermaozi said tremblingly.

"Lin Zhennan? Never heard of him."

Chen Xiao frowned and asked, "Where is he?"

"He... he... he..."

Ermaozi looked at a loss, and Chen Xiao flicked his finger, scaring him into saying immediately, "He's at Tianlong Temple outside the city!"

"I really don't know anything else! Chen-laoda, please spare me!"

"Don't be nervous. I'm just asking where your boss is."

Chen Xiao said with a smile, "After all, I didn't expect you to know anything else."

Hearing this, Ermaozi breathed a sigh of relief.

*Pu—*

However, just as he was relieved, the playing card in Chen Xiao's hand flew out and cut his throat...

Before dying, Ermaozi looked at Chen Xiao with an incredulous expression.

As if asking why he still killed him after he had said everything he knew.

And Chen Xiao naturally didn't need to answer such a question.

Killing such a small fry was like killing an ant, why would there need to be a 'why'!

"Tianlong Temple."

Chen Xiao muttered, straightened his clothes, and prepared to set off for Tianlong Temple.

At this moment, he suddenly noticed Liu Xiaopan, who was hiding in the corner, trembling.

Liu Xiaopan also realized that Chen Xiao was looking at him and quickly lowered his head, not daring to meet Chen Xiao's eyes.

Chen Xiao shook his head helplessly, "Sigh, live a good life in the future."

"Thank you, Cousin, thank you, Cousin! I will definitely listen to you, and I will definitely be a good person in the future!"

Liu Xiaopan was relieved, kneeling on the ground and kowtowing to Chen Xiao.

"No need to thank me, after all, the future I'm talking about... is the next life!"

Chen Xiao said halfway, the playing card in his hand flew out and cut into Liu Xiaopan's throat.

This time, the playing card did not fly back.

And Chen Xiao also left this underground casino gracefully.

Chen Xiao set off for Tianlong Temple, he couldn't figure out why those petty thieves liked to hide in Tianlong Temple.

He remembered that the last time he went to Tianlong Temple, it was to deal with Jiang Huai, the branch master of the Liu Sect.

On the way to Tianlong Temple, Chen Xiao called Qi Tianhu.

"Lao Qi, have you heard of Lin Zhennan?"

"Lin Zhennan?"

On the other end of the phone, Qi Tianhu was stunned for a moment, then said, "I know him, he is the head of the Lin family in Jiangnan, the leading boss of the Jiangnan underworld, what's wrong Chen-laoda, did he provoke you?"

Chen Xiao said "Oh" and said casually, "Give you three days to level the Lin family for me!"
