Chapter 111 Progress
Chapter 111: Chapter 111 Progress
"Your brother invited me to dinner?" This was somewhat unexpected for Lin Xi. As for Xu Hong’s purpose, it was nothing more than to impress him.
Seeing Lin Xi’s confusion, Xu Fei hurriedly explained, "Brother Lin, don’t misunderstand, my brother has absolutely no ulterior motives. It’s just a simple invitation for dinner."
"Ever since last time, my brother has been really impressed with you. Yeah, and I am too!"
Lin Xi looked at Xu Fei and didn’t see any deceit in his words.
However, he also didn’t care what Xu Fei and Xu Hong were up to. To him, these two posed no threat!
"No time!" Lin Xi directly refused and ignored Xu Fei and Li Neng, turning away to leave.
Xu Fei wanted to follow him to say a few more words but worried about upsetting Lin Xi. He could only stand silently in place, watching Lin Xi’s departing back.
After all, nobody hates living a bit longer!
Once Lin Xi was gone, Xu Fei cursed Li Neng and then left with his people.
Only then did Li Neng’s classmates dare to come forward, helping him as Li Neng endured the pain and said, "Take me to the hospital, and call my parents!"
"This matter cannot be settled just like this!"
Chen Bainan had been a bit worried these days. Ever since Master Bai woke up, he had become more vigorous, leading to no progress in Chen Bainan’s scheme to swallow the Bai family. Meanwhile, Bai Bing was giving him the cold shoulder.
Thinking of this, he thought of Lin Xi.
If not for Lin Xi, Master Bai would probably be near his end, and Bai Bing would obediently marry him, wouldn’t she?
So, all these changes originated from him.
Driving alone, he arrived at the club from last time, his face dark, as he walked inside.
"Where is Fatty?" he asked the approaching waiter.
Led by the waiter, Chen Bainan arrived outside a luxurious private room, gesturing for the waiter to leave before aggressively opening the room door.
"Stop playing, Fatty, I have something to discuss with you!" Chen Bainan barked with anger at the room’s atmosphere.
Fatty asked casually,
"Brother Nan, what’s gotten you so worked up?"
Chen Bainan sat opposite Fatty, fuming, "How dare you ask me that? I asked you to help find someone to take out Lin Xi, so why is he still alive and kicking after all these days?"
"Is there any efficiency in handling things here?"
Upon hearing this, Fatty wasn’t bothered but instead leaned back on the sofa with a smile, "So it’s about this, Brother Nan, you’ve misunderstood me!"
Chen Bainan’s face showed puzzlement, staring at Fatty for an explanation.
"The thing is, they have their own rules for action, plus eliminating someone isn’t as straightforward as you think!"
Fatty pondered for a moment, choosing his words carefully as he continued, "It’s not as easy as everyone thinks."
"They have to spend time observing the target and understanding the target’s living habits, etc. Only after a general understanding will they formulate a complete plan and set a date to act."
"In today’s society, the best way to take someone out is to make it look like an accident, otherwise, if even a hint is exposed, you and I might be done for!"
Here, Fatty paused, handing a cigarette to Chen Bainan, then lighting one himself and taking a deep draw.
"So this can’t be rushed; it has to be done step by step!" Seeing Chen Bainan’s expression improve slightly, Fatty continued,
"But you’re here at the right time today; I happen to need to discuss something with you."
"What is it?" Chen Bainan asked doubtfully.
"They’ve fed back that the info you gave on the target is incorrect. You’ll need to pay double for them to plan and act!" Fatty said.
"Why! I gave plenty last time!" Chen Bainan’s face changed, thinking that his money didn’t come easily, not to mention he had given extra last time.
Fatty’s face showed helplessness, taking a deep draw from the cigarette before saying, "It’s like this, they say the target isn’t an ordinary person, and thus requires a higher price!"
"What do you mean?" Chen Bainan asked, puzzled. In his view, Lin Xi was just good at medicine, right?
Could it be that Lin Xi was different because of this?
"On the first day of class meetings, he easily beat five or six classmates, but that’s actually not the point!" Fatty explained.
Is this really not the point?
If Fatty knew that Lin Xi single-handedly took out dozens of small gangsters on Wild Chicken Mountain, he wouldn’t think so.
"The point is, he has connections with the Bai family and even with the Yang family in the military district. Doesn’t someone like this merit a higher price?"
After saying this, Fatty looked at the silent Chen Bainan, and continued, "If Brother Nan isn’t willing, then I’ll cancel the task."
"But saying upfront, the previous money won’t be refunded!"
Chen Bainan’s face grew even darker as he gritted his teeth and said to Fatty, "Do it! The account is still the previous one, right?"
"That’s the boldness of our Brother Nan!" Fatty smiled broadly.
In West City, inside a popular nightclub crowded with youthful and vibrant young people swaying under the lights.
Pushing his way in from outside, Ma San kept a grip on his emotions. If not for some matters tonight, he would definitely...
Unfortunately, he was in no mood for this now.
Next to the bar, there’s a door guarded by two men in sunglasses, sporting buzz cuts, their expressions cold and unapproachable.
The fact is proven by the area around them, as not a single person dared to approach.
At this moment, Ma San squeezed his way through and fawningly said, "Brothers, I have some business with Brother Leopard."
The two evidently knew Ma San but didn’t let him in immediately. They thoroughly checked him from head to toe.
Finally, using the communication tools at hand, they asked a few questions before opening the door for Ma San.
Entering the room, Ma San only saw four or five buzz-cut men playing cards at a table, without Brother Leopard in sight.
But then Ma San noticed another door.
Carefully passing by these men, Ma San pushed open the inner door and saw Brother Leopard seated on a black leather chair, dealing with matters.
"Brother Leopard," Ma San called softly.
This Brother Leopard was also a buzz-cut man; if Lin Xi were here, he would recognize him as the black-suited, white-pants fellow who had sought out Su Qiaoqiao.
Later, Zhou Yan revealed that this person was Su Qiaoqiao’s family’s top enforcer, Shi Bao.
"What is it?" Shi Bao finally looked up, his eyes sharp.
