Chapter 72 The Qilin Figure
Nancheng, Nanxing Gang's territory.
The leaders of the Nanxing Gang were all present, along with many gang members.
Dao Ge and Zhang Hang knelt in the middle, trembling.
"Boss, esteemed leaders, I'm willing to cut off my own hand, just please spare my life!" Brother Dao kept kowtowing and begging for mercy.
Zhang Hang also kowtowed.
The two were terrified, because everyone in the Nanxing Gang looked menacing.
"You only have yourself to blame for being blind and provoking that person," the leader of the Nanxing Gang said coldly. "You almost dragged the entire gang down with you; you deserved to die!"
"Ah Gui, whether your men live or die is up to you." The gang leader handed over the decision-making power to Brother Dao's boss.
The other party's expression was uncertain, but without much hesitation, he waved his hand.
"Take them away." He gestured, his meaning clear: leave no survivors.
"Brother Gui! Spare me, Brother Gui! I beg you!" Even though Brother Dao cried out in terror, it was no use, and he was dragged away by the two men.
Zhang Hang was almost scared out of his wits.
After all, he's still just a high school student.
"Xiao Shanshan, you've ruined me!" he roared inwardly.
The intense gaze of everyone in the Nanxing Gang put immense pressure on Zhang Hang.
Just when he thought he was going to die here...
"Let's see who dares to touch him!"
A sharp shout rang out, full of vigor.
Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw a woman and two men walk in.
"Xiao Shanshan?" The leader of the Nanxing Gang frowned upon seeing the woman.
"How did you get in?"
This is the headquarters of the Nanxing Gang; outsiders generally cannot enter without prior notification.
"Those few gatekeepers can't possibly stop me!" Xiao Shanshan was in high spirits and full of self-satisfaction.
"Big Sister, save me!" Zhang Hang grabbed at this lifeline and cried out.
"Release him within ten seconds," Xiao Shanshan ordered the leader of the Nanxing Gang.
The other party's face darkened, and a murderous aura appeared on his face.
"Do you think you're still the same Xiao Shanshan you used to be? Still able to act all high and mighty?"
Xiao Shanshan sneered and said, "So what if I don't have that person's protection? I can still control the underworld of Nancheng!"
"You people still have to bow down to me, Xiao Shanshan!" she arrogantly declared, pointing at the Nanxing Gang members.
The Nanxing Gang members were naturally enraged, and many of them picked up weapons.
Xiao Shanshan remained calm and simply said to the two people behind her, "Make your move."
The two attacked instantly, with incredible speed.
Before the Nanxing Gang members could react, several people in front of Zhang Hang were taken down.
The leader of the Nanxing Gang was shocked and was about to give orders when someone was already in front of him, easily subdued him, and grabbed his throat with his hand.
This happened so quickly that it greatly shocked the Nanxing Gang.
"Now you know my strength, right?" Xiao Shanshan said smugly.
She felt extremely refreshed.
Even if these so-called underworld bosses turn against her, won't they still have to be at her mercy?
Sooner or later, Xiao Chen will be the same.
"If anyone dares to make a move, you'll have to elect a new gang leader," Xiao Shanshan threatened.
No one in the Nanxing Gang dared to make a move; they could only watch helplessly as she took the person away.
"Big Sister, you're amazing! The Nanxing Gang is like an empty place!" Once outside, Zhang Hang immediately started flattering her.
"Don't you even know who I am?" Xiao Shanshan was quite pleased.
She then asked Zhang Hang to recount what had happened.
"Just as I expected, what happened that day was no coincidence. Xiao Chen is colluding with the underworld!" Xiao Shanshan said smugly, with an expression of complete control.
She did not associate Xiao Chen with the powerful figures behind the Xiao family.
"So what if I have connections to the underworld? I now possess power he can't even imagine!" Xiao Shanshan glanced at the two people behind her and sneered.
"Do as I instruct you." She quietly gave Zhang Hang some instructions.
……
The Chen family.
Inside the living room, a middle-aged man sat on the sofa, his brow furrowed, looking worried.
"Dad, we're back." Chen Shuyi and Yang Ming walked in.
When Chen Jun saw Yang Ming carrying large bags and small packages, his brows furrowed even deeper, and his expression became displeased.
"Shuyi, you've been spending money recklessly again," he accused.
"The Xiao family's offensive is getting fiercer and fiercer, and the company is almost unable to hold on. How come you still don't know how to be frugal?"
"Dad, I didn't spend much money. These were all gifts from Brother Xiao Chen..." Chen Shuyi said weakly.
As she spoke, she placed a blue and white porcelain vase in front of Chen Jun.
Chen Jun was immediately captivated.
"Did someone give this to you?" he asked, somewhat surprised.
Based on his knowledge, this blue and white porcelain vase was probably worth millions.
“Yes, Brother Xiao Chen won it for us,” Chen Shuyi said with a smile.
She recounted to Chen Jun what had happened at the antique market that day.
Chen Jun looked astonished.
“There are still such young people in my southern city…” he murmured.
“That Xiao Chen is the Xiao family’s abandoned son, as rumored in the streets,” Yang Ming added.
Chen Jun found it even more unbelievable.
According to rumors, the abandoned son of the Xiao family was a jinx, despised and avoided by everyone, and he himself was utterly incompetent.
"I never expected him to be so secretive..." Chen Jun exclaimed.
"Dad, is there anything else..."
Chen Shuyi then recounted what had happened at No. 1 Middle School, as well as the complicated process of buying clothes at the clothing store.
When Chen Jun heard that even the leader of the Nanxing Gang treated Xiao Chen with utmost respect, his expression was a mixture of shock and solemnity. When he heard that Xiao Chen, a top member of that clothing store, had defeated the son of the Hu family in the provincial capital, he was so shocked that he stood up.
"This abandoned son of the Xiao family... he's been hiding his true identity far too well. His real identity must be truly shocking!"
"The Xiao family is truly blind to have expelled such a person from the family. Good! Excellent!" Chen Jun laughed, his mind racing.
If they knew how stupid I had done, wouldn't they be so angry they'd vomit blood?
“This kid is no ordinary person. I fought him once, and although I didn’t use my full strength, I was able to hold my own against him, which is truly outstanding,” Yang Ming interjected.
"Uncle Ming, didn't you ambush them and get beaten back?" Chen Shuyi covered her mouth and laughed.
Yang Ming immediately looked embarrassed and admitted that he had been careless.
"Are you sure... you really didn't use your full strength?" Chen Jun stared at him intently.
Yang Ming's face was long and he was very displeased.
"Even if I used my full strength, it was because I underestimated my opponent; otherwise, I would never have suffered a loss!"
Chen Shuyi's beautiful eyes sparkled.
Even though Uncle Ming used all his strength and launched a sneak attack, he was still no match for Xiao Chen.
Lin Youyou's brother is really too mysterious.
“Dad, we must win over people like this!” Chen Shuyi said earnestly.
“You’re wrong, it’s not about winning them over.” Chen Jun shook his head.
"This is a man of extraordinary talent; how could my humble Chen family possibly win him over? It is the right thing to do to cultivate a good relationship with him. If we slight him, the consequences will be unimaginable."
"Find an opportunity to invite him over for a meal. Whether the Chen family can turn things around depends on him..."
