"There's no reason why. The Ma family has been incredibly kind to me. Now that the Ma family has fallen, this is all I can do for them."
"He'll find out my identity sooner or later. Although I didn't kill his father, he died because of me." Ye Xingchen said, "Here's what we'll do: when my identity is exposed, I'll give him three chances. If he can't kill me the third time, I'll kill him, because I can't let someone who wants to kill me go crazy and seek revenge on me."
"Okay, I hope you can keep your word." Uncle Qiang nodded and smiled.
Suddenly, he took out a gun, put it in his mouth, and pulled the trigger without hesitation.
Bang... Uncle Qiang fell to the ground, blood flowing down his body.
Ye Xingchen sighed. They were all pitiful people.
He grabbed Ma Chenglong and led him outside, then quickly contacted Bai Zilin.
"Where are you?" Bai Zilin, who had been on tenterhooks, jumped up excitedly when she heard Ye Xingchen's voice.
Honestly, she was really worried when the battle started.
Although they had absolute confidence in Ye Xingchen's abilities, bullets don't discriminate, especially since this encirclement operation was equivalent to a small-scale military operation. The firepower covered the area, leaving it in ruins, and then tanks led the way, with infantry following closely behind.
She was really worried that Ye Xingchen wouldn't be able to get out, but now she can breathe a sigh of relief.
"Listen to me in the secret passage of the Ma family. Ma Chenglong is with me. He is still useful. Have your men guarding the entrance of the passage withdraw. I will take him back to Xuancheng," Ye Xingchen said.
"What's your plan now?" Bai Zilin looked confused, not understanding what Ye Xingchen was up to.
"I don't have time to solve this for you right now. Just trust me." Ye Xingchen said in a deep voice, "Let us go back to Xuan City, and then I will explain to you."
"Okay, I'll have them leave right away." Bai Zilin gritted her teeth: "Is there anything else?"
"Spread the word that Li Zhen, a subordinate of the second master of the Liang family in Jinling, is one of your men. Whether you catch him or not, keep spreading the word," Ye Xingchen said. "This will clear our names as much as possible."
“Li Zhen has been arrested. I know what to do, don’t worry.” Bai Zilin nodded: “There won’t be any other news after this.”
"Alright, I'm almost at the cave entrance. Let your men retreat first," Ye Xingchen said.
"Okay." Bai Zilin hung up the phone and quickly went to make arrangements. Ye Xingchen led Ma Chenglong along the passage to the end.
At the end of the passage was a small, dilapidated house on the outside, while inside was a car, a bag of US dollars, and a passport with forged identity that was always kept there.
The police had already set their sights on this place, but Bai Zilin, after receiving Ye Xingchen's call, quickly withdrew the police forces from the area.
Ye Xingchen got into the car and drove straight to Xuancheng.
Where are you taking me?
While driving, Ye Xingchen suddenly felt a chill on the back of his head. A gun was already pointed at his head. It was Ma Longlong who had woken up.
The guy's voice was hoarse, and his eyes gleamed with a fierce light.
Although he was knocked unconscious by Ye Xingchen's punch, he knew what the consequences would be if the military were to be mobilized.
His father died, the warehouse was destroyed, and the Ma family was completely finished.
From then on, he was a fugitive being hunted down, always on the verge of death. So now he had transformed into a ruthless criminal, and if Ye Xingchen's answer did not satisfy him, he would shoot him dead.
"I'll take you to Suspended City." Ye Xingchen parked the car to the side. "It's already dawn, and all the exits are guarded. Throw away your gun, or we won't be able to leave the city."
"Where's my dad? Is the Ma family... finished?" Ma Chenglong's voice trembled slightly. Even though he already knew this was the outcome, he still couldn't help but ask.
"You already know, why do you need to ask me?" Ye Xingchen said coldly, "Kun has already sent word that Li Zhen is a member of the police."
“Li Zhen…” Ma Chenglong roared in a low voice, “I will skin him alive and drink his blood… I will not let the Liang family of Jinling go either.”
“Young Master Ma, you need to stay calm, especially now,” Ye Xingchen said. “We’ve thrown away all the guns and contraband. Once we leave the city, we’ll head straight for Xuancheng. Right now, only Boss Kun’s place is safe. As long as you’re alive, we’ll find a way to clear your name, and then you can make a comeback.”
"Heh... Do I still have a chance to make a comeback?" Ma Chenglong laughed, but as he laughed, tears fell from his eyes: "I have nothing now... I have nothing left."
“You should trust the operational capabilities of Mr. Kun’s boss, Young Master Huang.” Ye Xingchen smiled slightly: “He wants to open up the domestic market. He’s not getting any business in Yun City, so he can’t give up on Nan City now.”
“As long as you’re willing to get back on your feet, I believe Young Master Huang will lend you a hand. But right now, we’re alive. If the police catch us, we’ll all die…”
Ye Xingchen's words finally persuaded Ma Chenglong. He threw down the gun in his hand and slumped helplessly into the back seat.
Yes, he needs a chance to make a comeback, but there's only one way to do that: first, stay alive.
Ye Xingchen restarted the car and continued driving forward, safely leaving the territory of Nanshi and then driving all the way to Xuancheng.
Ma Chenglong fell asleep in the back row. Ye Xingchen had someone arrange for him to rest, and then went to the arena to find Liu Kun.
"To hell with Li Zhen, I knew he was up to no good a long time ago." Liu Kun slammed his fist on the table, his eyes bloodshot, pacing back and forth in the room. "I broke the legs of two of his subordinates before, and he's been holding a grudge ever since."
"But I didn't expect that this bastard was actually a member of the police force, haha, and he was even hiding right next to Master Liang. This guy is really good at hiding."
“There’s no news about Li Zhen now. Nobody knows where he is. He’s probably under police protection,” Ye Xingchen said. “Our transaction was successful, but this time… with the Ma family in Nanshi destroyed, Huang Shao’s connection is probably going to be cut off again.”
"What should we do?" Liu Kun sat down with a headache. "Young Master Huang has returned to Jinluo City. His mission is to do everything in his power to break through the border triangle and get our goods into the country."
“My workshop here is just a small base under Jinluo City. The real production line is still in Jinluo City. Now that Jinluo City’s army is expanding, the expenses are huge. So if we don’t expand the market, we simply can’t support the huge expenses.”
"Mr. Liu, after the Ma family in Nanshi fell, who is likely to take their place?" Ye Xingchen asked.
