"Next, you will communicate on my behalf with Chen Chen. Whatever I say, you will relay to him." Xiao Shuai finally confirmed it. It was the same voice he heard in the van when he was previously kidnapped! The other party seemed unwilling to give up on him, tracking him all the way here. Could it be... that mysterious expert appears again, returning to the Martial World? Could he even be hiding in this room, speaking to me using the "secret voice transmission" Kung Fu from martial arts novels? At the thought of this possibility, Xiao Shuai’s heart couldn’t help but start pounding wildly, filled with excitement and trepidation. Afraid that Chen Chen might notice anything unusual, he couldn’t help but lower his head, trying to mask the expression on his face. The mysterious expert seemed to sense his tension, speaking again: "Stay calm, don’t reveal any flaws, and show a bit more confidence." "Only this way will he be cautious and refrain from acting rashly against you." This secret exchange in his mind actually occurred in an instant. Seeing Xiao Shuai lowering his head in silence, Chen Chen thought he was weighing the pros and cons, a faint, almost imperceptible glint flashed in his eyes. It seems this young man is not just a pushover, knowing that he must strike a pose at such moments. A few seconds later, Xiao Shuai suddenly raised his head, and the timidity in his eyes unexpectedly turned into a bit of calmness. He took a deep breath, gathered his courage, and said: "I need to first understand the specifics of the cooperation." "If I find it suitable, then I can relay it to my boss, otherwise... forget it!" Seeing Xiao Shuai suddenly becoming "assertive" and even openly admitting his connection to that mysterious expert. Surprise flickered in Chen Chen’s eyes, which was immediately replaced by comprehension. However, when he heard the final phrase "forget it" with a hint of threat, Chen Chen’s eyebrows slightly furrowed: "Oh? This matter is of grave importance, concerning both our lives, can you really call the shots?" Upon hearing this, Xiao Shuai was momentarily stunned. Seemingly contemplating for two seconds, he then nodded seriously, his tone firm: Chen Chen’s eyes instantly narrowed, and the smile on his face retracted. He began to reassess this battered and poorly dressed thug before him, genuinely considering him seriously for the first time. The atmosphere in the office suddenly became somewhat subtle. Secretary Liu and Awei also noticed the change in atmosphere, their expressions turning serious. Though Xiao Shuai’s heart still fluttered slightly. Thinking of the unfathomable big shot supporting him from behind, he immediately tried to stand tall. After a moment of silence, Chen Chen finally made a decision. He slowly spoke, his voice returning to calmness: "Since Brother Xiao Shuai can decide, I won’t beat around the bush." "Frankly, I want to ask that gentleman to help me kill someone." Xiao Shuai immediately asked, his tone crisp and brisk, clearly a different person compared to his earlier timidity. "Noah Organization, East Capital Branch Field Operation Section, Level Eight Official, codename ’Scorpion’." Chen Chen stated word by word, a grim ace flashed in his eyes. Xiao Shuai’s expression was somewhat bewildered, not understanding at all. In his mind, Fang Cheng’s voice timely spoke: "Ask him, as the Gang Leader of the Red Tiger Gang under Noah’s support, being a key figure in East Capital’s power, why does he want to betray his master and plot against a senior member of the same organization?" Xiao Shuai immediately racked his brains, rephrased the question, and repeated it: "Chairman Chen, I’m a bit confused." "As far as I know, your Red Tiger Gang is directly supported by the Noah Organization in East Capital, essentially their people, right?" "Now you’re turning around, plotting against a senior member of their organization, isn’t this... well... ’a case of the flood washing away the Dragon King’s Temple, where one’s own people fight each other’?" "What’s the reason for doing this?" He widened his eyes, his tone carrying a hint of well-placed skepticism. Indicating that the question was taken very seriously, and without a reasonable explanation, cooperation could not proceed. Chen Chen, unexpectedly facing such straightforwardness, paused before slowly explaining: "Brother Xiao Shuai, some things are not as simple as they seem on the surface." "The Noah Organization is not all united either; there have always been factions fighting among themselves." "The group at the East Capital Branch has long been on a different path from me." He paused, a hint of resentment creeping into his tone. "I want to take my brothers, clean up our act, engage in legitimate business, and grow the group stronger." "But what about them? They only need a force to do their dirty work and take the fall for them." "Noah doesn’t lack a legitimate business company, what they need is just a biting dog, a black glove that can be discarded at any time!" "I, Chen Chen, don’t want to be a shady hooligan all my life or be their dog forever!" "Over the years, our conflicts haven’t erupted entirely, but I’ve been suffocating with this frustration for a long time." "Recently, something happened that made me firmly decide." At this point, Chen Chen calmed his agitated emotions, his face darkening a bit. Xiao Shuai pressed further, which Fang Cheng also wanted to know. Chen Chen, however, did not answer directly, merely pointing to the ceiling, speaking cryptically: "It’s related to the struggle at the top of Xia Country, as for the specifics, even at my level, I can’t access the core information." "But I know, this time, Noah is likely involved in huge trouble." "Once they lose power and withdraw from East Capital, there’s a high possibility I, as the peripheral force leader, will be pushed out to be one of the scapegoats."
