Chapter 1723 Return to the Arena



"Uncle Luo?"

Seeing that Luo Shijie was a little distracted, Xiao Chen called out softly.

"Ah? What's wrong?"

Luo Shijie woke up in shock and looked at Xiao Chen.

"Haha, Uncle Luo, how about Li Hanhou being the leader?"

Xiao Chen asked with a smile.

"My first choice is you. Since you recommended Li Hanhou, I have to think about it... Since we have already talked openly about this matter, there is nothing to hide. I will go talk to Xue Zhanhu as well."

Luo Shijie said seriously.

"After I finish talking to him, the three of us can meet and talk again."

"good."

Xiao Chen nodded.

"The three gangs form an alliance and choose a leader. I agree with this model. I'll talk to Boss Xue about it later."

"I will."

Luo Shijie nodded.

Afterwards, the two did not discuss this anymore. After all, they had already discussed everything they wanted to talk about today.

After they drank a few more cups of tea, Luo Shijie pressed a button on the table and asked someone to prepare wine and food.

At the same time, he also visited Zhao Deyi and invited him to dinner.

After Zhao Deyi arrived at the private room, he glanced at Xiao Chen.

Xiao Chen smiled and nodded slightly.

Seeing Xiao Chen's actions, Zhao Deyi also smiled.

"Mr. Zhao, please take a seat."

Luo Shijie asked Zhao Deyi to sit down and handed him a cigar.

Zhao Deyi took it with a smile and lit it.

"Shijie, are you done talking?"

"Yeah, we've finished talking. We're ready to eat. I'd like to invite you over to have a drink with us."

Luo Shijie said with a smile.

"Haha, if you don't call me, I won't let you come to Longteng Club next time."

Zhao Deyi also laughed.

"How dare I, how dare I not call you Mr. Zhao?"

Luo Shijie shook his head.

Just as they were talking, there was a knock on the door and Ashan walked in.

"Mr. Zhao, the food is ready. Serve it?"

"Well, serve the food."

After the dishes were served, Xiao Chen opened the white wine and poured three glasses.

"Come on, let me toast you two first."

Xiao Chen picked up the white wine and said with a smile.

"good."

Zhao Deyi and Luo Shijie nodded, clinked their glasses with Xiao Chen, and took a sip.

After a glass of wine, the three of them started chatting.

Zhao Deyi did not ask about what they had just talked about, and Xiao Chen and Luo Shijie did not say much... They were talking about some irrelevant things and some interesting stories from the underground world.

After finishing his meal, Luo Shijie left.

"Come on, go to my office and have a cup of tea to sober up."

Zhao Deyi said to Xiao Chen.

"good."

Xiao Chen nodded and followed Zhao Deyi to the office upstairs.

"Tell me, what does Shijie mean?"

Zhao Deyi looked at him and asked.

"He was very straightforward today and didn't beat around the bush with me."

Xiao Chen said with a smile.

"If I were him, I wouldn't beat around the bush with you, because I don't think I can get away with it...Young people nowadays have many tricks."

Zhao Deyi smiled.

“…”

Xiao Chen was a little speechless. Was this a compliment or a scolding?

Afterwards, he briefly told Zhao Deyi what he had talked about with Luo Shijie.

After listening to this, Zhao Deyi looked thoughtful.

"Three gangs form an alliance, and you are the leader?"

"right."

Xiao Chen nodded.

"Although it's a little different from what I thought, it's okay... In this way, everyone will be relatively free, and they will have less resistance in their hearts."

Zhao Deyi thought about it and said to Xiao Chen.

"Well, there's no need for me to say that I have to take charge of the three gangs."

Xiao Chen nodded.

"Xiao Chen, few people can resist the temptation. After all, this is power that is within easy reach!"

Zhao Deyi said appreciatively.

"Haha, Mr. Zhao, please don't praise me anymore. If you praise me again, I will be really proud."

Xiao Chen smiled and said.

"Okay, I won't praise you, let's talk about something serious... You want Dahan to be the leader, but what about his mother? Will she agree?"

"Auntie has agreed."

Xiao Chen nodded.

"Well, but Dahan..."

Zhao Deyi said this and stopped talking.

His meaning is not difficult to understand. He also thinks that Li Hanhou is not fit to be the leader of the alliance.

Even though Li Hanhou is Zhang Kuiren’s grandson!

"Haha, I already have an idea."

Xiao Chen smiled.

"You have an idea? What idea?"

Zhao Deyi looked at Xiao Chen with some curiosity.

"Mr. Zhao, can I ask you for a favor?"

Xiao Chen's expression turned serious.

"Please? If you have anything to say, just tell me."

Zhao Deyi became even more curious.

"I would like to ask you to come back and give Dahan some advice."

Xiao Chen looked at Zhao Deyi and said seriously.

"Re-emerge? Give Dahan some pointers?

Zhao Deyi's eyes widened. He didn't expect Xiao Chen to say that.

"Um."

Xiao Chen nodded.

"Mr. Zhao, you are the only one I can think of."

"But I'm not suitable."

Zhao Deyi understood a little bit what Xiao Chen meant and shook his head.

"You pushed him to this position single-handedly. I think you are more suitable."

"The main reason is that I don't have that much time. I've been relying on Longhai..."

Xiao Chen smiled bitterly.

"So, after thinking about it, you are the only one... If it were just him, he wouldn't be able to be the leader, but with you, that would be enough!"

"this……"

Zhao Deyi hesitated.

"Mr. Zhao, how about this? When I'm in Longhai, you can give me a favor... If I'm not in Longhai, please take care of me."

Xiao Chen thought about it and said.

Hearing Xiao Chen say this, Zhao Deyi knew that he could no longer refuse.

"Okay, I can assist Dahan, as long as he is willing to listen to me."

"He'll listen."

Xiao Chen smiled.

"The day I retired from the underworld, I never thought of returning to the underworld again... I didn't expect that after being buried up to my neck in the dirt, I would return to the underworld again, and even assist Dahan and become the leader of the three gangs..."

Zhao Deyi couldn't help but shook his head.

"Mr. Zhao, if you come forward, Luo Shijie and Xue Zhanhu will have to give you face. If it were someone else, they wouldn't be able to control the situation."

"Okay, since you said so, then leave this matter to me... But don't forget, I'm only in charge when you're not in Longhai."

"Yeah, okay."

Xiao Chen felt relieved when he saw Zhao Deyi agreed.

With Zhao Yi's assistance, Dahan will definitely be able to sit firmly in this position!

By then, after a long period of subtle influence, perhaps Dahan will also be able to learn something.

"Luo Shijie went to find Xue Zhanhu?"

Zhao Deyi thought of something and asked.

"Well, he said he was going to talk to Xue Zhanhu... I don't think there will be any major changes. We just have to wait for news."

Xiao Chen nodded.

"Um."

A gleam of light flashed in Zhao Deyi's old eyes.

Thinking about returning to society, his calm mood after years of peace began to waver a bit.

Xiao Chen could feel the change in Zhao Deyi's mood, he smiled, and felt relieved, as if a worry had been lifted from his mind!

A bell rang.

Xiao Chen took out his cell phone and took a look at it, a little surprised. It was a call from Mr. Long?

"Mr. Zhao, I need to take a call."

"good."

Xiao Chen stood up, left the office, and answered the phone.

"Hey, Mr. Long."

"Well, Achen, I heard that you took the Black Blood Wand from the Dark Church?"

Elder Long's voice came from the receiver.

"Yes, it's in my hand... But I didn't take it away. I picked it up."

Xiao Chen emphasized.

"Okay, just assume you found it."

Although Mr. Long said this, his tone clearly showed that he did not believe it.

This made Xiao Chen speechless. Did he look like a robber?

"I'm more interested in the Black Blood Wand. When will you bring it over so I can take a look?"

Old Long said with a smile.

"Sure, I don't have anything to do this afternoon, I'll send it to you in a bit."

Xiao Chen said without even thinking.

"Haha, okay, I'll wait for you then."

"Yeah, okay."

Xiao Chen nodded and hung up the phone.

Afterwards, he returned to the office, chatted with Zhao Deyi for a few more words, and then planned to leave.

"Mr. Zhao, if we have anything, feel free to contact us by phone."

Xiao Chen said to Zhao Deyi.

"good."

Zhao Deyi nodded.

"I should also make some preparations."

"Um."

Xiao Chen nodded, chatted with Zhao Deyi for a few more words, and then walked out.

After leaving the Longteng Club and returning to the car, he reached under the seat, fumbled for a few times, and took out a black plastic bag.

He opened the black plastic bag and took out something from it. It was the treasure of the Dark Church, the Black Blood Wand!

After getting it back from Longshan that day, he kept it in the car, just under the driver's seat.

Anyway, not many people know that this thing is in his hand, so he is not afraid of being discovered.

As for the Dark Church... let them find it!

After playing with the Black Blood Wand for a few times, Xiao Chen threw it on the passenger seat, started the car, and headed for Longmen Inn.

After about half an hour, he arrived at Longmen Inn.

"Brother Chen."

The waiter saw Xiao Chen coming and came forward to greet him.

"Where's Mr. Long?"

Xiao Chen nodded and asked.

"Mr. Long has a guest. You should wait downstairs for a while."

The waiter whispered.

"Oh? What guests?"

Xiao Chen was a little surprised.

"Ghost Buddha Zhao Tathagata."

The waiter glanced towards the second floor and spoke in a lower voice.

"What? Ghost Buddha? Zhao Tathagata?"

Xiao Chen widened his eyes, somewhat surprised.

"Yeah, he came to visit Elder Long."

The waiter nodded.

"Brother Chen, keep your voice down. This evil Buddha Zhao Rulai is not easy to mess with. And once he has the killing intention, no one can stop him."

“…”

Xiao Chen looked towards the second floor and wondered in his heart, why is the Ghost Buddha Zhao Rulai here?

Could it be that he suspected something?

"Brother Chen, how about you hide for a while? If the Ghost Buddha Zhao Rulai sees you, I'm afraid you'll be in trouble."

The waiter thought of something and said.

"Why would I hide from him? I didn't sleep with his daughter!"

Xiao Chen frowned.

"Uh, Ghost Buddha Zhao Rulai is a monk, where did he get his daughter, my brother Chen!"

The waiter didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

"What's wrong with monks? Nowadays, monks not only don't eat vegetarian food, they also get married and have children... So, it's normal for him to have a daughter."

Xiao Chen said seriously.

"All right."

The waiter nodded.

Just as the two were talking, voices and footsteps were heard from the second floor.

"Brother Chen, the ghost Buddha Zhao Rulai has come out, you hide first."

"Why are you hiding? It's nothing shameful."

Xiao Chen curled his lips and took the initiative to greet him.
