"You need to know that there are always people more capable than you, and there are always higher levels to reach." Ye Xingchen said, "The world is never short of strong people. Once you enter this world, a butterfly effect will occur, and you will be able to leave the world of ordinary people."
"In the martial arts world, the strong are respected and the fittest survive. To put it bluntly, this world is a world where the strong prey on the weak. Once you enter it, everyone around you will be strong."
"Will someone even stronger appear before me then? Okay, I understand." Chen Wenhao sighed, "It seems I'm destined to be apart from this world."
"It's fine if we're not meant to be. From the moment a person is born, their destiny and the path they're meant to take are already clear to them." Ye Xingchen said, "That path is the one you should take. Everything is preordained. Kid, don't overthink it. Some things aren't for you."
Chen Wenhao nodded, leaning back in his chair, seemingly lost in thought.
Soon, Er Mazi drove to Chenhe Town, which is more than 100 kilometers away from Jinling. The town is not big, but it governs more than ten villages and has a population of more than 100,000.
He drove directly to a house in town. At this time, all the shops in town had long since closed, and the whole town was quiet except for the occasional bark of a dog.
"Young Master Chen, this, this is Mr. Li's home," Er Mazi said timidly.
"Are you sure?" Ye Xingchen asked.
“Mr. Ye is certain. I gave Li Sheng money before, and he’s here. Yu Zhong wants him to hide here for a few days to avoid trouble.” Er Mazi nodded firmly.
"Let's go in now, I'll kick the door down." Chen Wenhao said, about to step forward, but Ye Xingchen grabbed him.
"Are you stupid? You think you can just kick the door open?" Ye Xingchen was speechless. "What if we alert him and he gets away?"
"Then... what should we do?" Chen Wenhao scratched his head and asked somewhat awkwardly.
“Go block the back door, I’ll kick it down,” Ye Xingchen said.
"Okay." Chen Wenhao grabbed a wooden stick, quickly went around to the back door, stood guard there, and then gave Ye Xingchen a signal.
Ye Xingchen walked to the door. These were two storefronts facing the street, with roller shutters at the entrance. Ye Xingchen stepped forward and kicked the roller shutters.
Boom... The roller shutter door deformed and cracked. As the door was kicked open, a figure on the second floor quickly jumped out of the window and then rushed frantically towards the back door.
The other person was Li Sheng. He didn't even have time to put on his clothes before he opened the back door and ran away.
However, Chen Wenhao, who had been hiding at the back door, grabbed his weapon and struck him hard on the head.
With a muffled groan, Li Sheng collapsed to the ground, unconscious.
Chen Wenhao was somewhat excited when he got what he wanted, after all, this was the first time he had ever done something like this.
With a single blow, he regained some confidence after being defeated by Ye Xingchen. He realized that he did have talent; otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to take someone down with a single blow.
Luansheng's family consists of an elderly person, a wife, children, and five other members.
Ye Xingchen picked him up and threw him back into the house, turned on the light, and then woke up Luansheng.
Chen Wenhao struck with no restraint, and the blow was quite forceful, leaving a large bump on his forehead.
The man, surnamed Luan, was in his thirties. He had married late and had young children, but his wife looked quite young. Now, the family members looked at each other, their faces showing a hint of fear.
"Report, call the police," the paralyzed old father uttered.
"No, Dad, don't call the police. Go inside and leave it alone. I can handle things here," Luansheng quickly stopped his father.
Call the police? He's suspected of money laundering, and the police are looking for him everywhere. If you call the police, he might not get out for at least eight or ten years.
Moreover, he realized that Ye Xingchen and Chen Wenhao hadn't come to kill him; if they had called the police, there would have been no way to save him.
“That’s right, we didn’t mean anything by it, we just wanted to ask you about the situation.” Ye Xingchen said to the two old people with a smile, “Don’t worry, ask him a few questions, and if he answers them, we’ll leave immediately and won’t bother him.”
Luansheng sat down, clutching his head; his face looked rather pale.
“Luansheng, I know you’re Yu Zhong’s subordinate. You helped him launder money before, didn’t you?” Ye Xingchen walked up to Luansheng.
"Why should I tell you?" Luansheng gritted his teeth. He felt that he had a bargaining chip in his hand. As long as he held on and refused to let go, he could save his life.
"Don't waste everyone's time. Give me the relevant evidence, and I'll let you go." Ye Xingchen said, "We just want to shut the Yu family up. We don't want to hurt anyone. If you keep insisting on sticking to your story, you'll bear the consequences."
"Hehe..." Luansheng laughed. He didn't know Ye Xingchen, but he knew Chen Wenhao. Yu Zhong was Chen Wenhao's uncle. The situation was a bit complicated. He wouldn't give in easily until he understood the situation.
"I don't know what your purpose is, but this thing in my hands can save my life. If I really tell you, I won't be able to explain it to Yu Zhong," Luansheng said through gritted teeth.
"Don't be naive. Do you really think Yu Zhong will let you off the hook?" Chen Wenhao sneered. "I'm his nephew. He almost buried me alive just now. Do you really think he'll let you go?"
Luan Sheng fell silent, then gritted his teeth and said, "Give up on that idea. I won't say anything."
"You think you'll be fine if you don't talk? Let me tell you, Yu Zhong plans to get rid of you. He's ruthless. He doesn't just intend to spare you, but your whole family as well," Chen Wenhao snorted.
“Impossible, I work for him, he would never kill me.” Luansheng refused to believe it.
No matter what, he had done a lot for Yu Zhong, and he didn't believe that Yu Zhong would discard him after using him.
“You work for him, but you also know a lot of his secrets. There’s only one way to keep those secrets from being leaked: shut him up. Dead people never talk. I understand that, don’t you?” Chen Wenhao was truly exasperated.
"Listen to me, Yu Zhong is already planning to make a move against you. I don't want to lay a hand on you today in front of your whole family," Ye Xingchen said. "As long as you hand over the evidence of Yu Zhong's money laundering, I will guarantee your family's safety."
"Why should I believe you?" Luansheng snorted. He still felt that what he had in his hand was his life-saving charm, and as long as he held onto it tightly, he would be safe.
“What he said is true, Yu Sheng.” Er Mazi walked in.
"Brother Ma, you... what are you doing here?" Luansheng was a little dumbfounded. He couldn't figure out the relationship between the people in front of him.
Er Mazi is Yu Zhong's capable subordinate, and Chen Wenhao and Ye Xingchen are Chen Qian's people. How did they get mixed up together?
