Chapter 1084: Faithful Xu Shaochen

Zhao Chen’s expression changed unpredictably looking hesitant for a long time before he said to Xu Shaochen:

“Alright, you guy named Xu. Although I don’t trust your integrity, I believe you wouldn’t joke about your grandfather. I’ll trust you this once.”

Better a bad life than a good death.

If Xu Shaochen were to kill him directly, he wouldn’t have said a word.

But now Xu Shaochen gave him a glimmer of hope, shaking his once fearless heart.

Who wants to die when there’s a chance to live?

“Enough, stop making excuses for your fear of death. Speak if you have something to say.”

Xu Shaochen disliked Zhao Chen’s obvious fear of death yet pretending to be tough.

Isn’t this exactly the saying, pretending to be righteous while doing immoral things?

“You…”

Zhao Chen was furious.

“Click!”

A handgun was pressed against his head.

His anger immediately faded away.

“What about me?”

Xu Shaochen leaned against the sofa spreading his hands with a mocking smile.

“You… very well.”

Zhao Chen squeezed the words through gritted teeth feeling humiliated and angry.

“Then start your performance. You should know I have three actors with me. If they speak first, your value will greatly diminish.”

Xu Shaochen said slowly, more accurately, there were only two left as one was killed by Number One to serve as a warning.

Zhao Chen’s face twisted upon hearing this and said: “Our main goal in coming to Jiangzhou this time was to distract you so you’re unable to leave…”

“Change the story. This Xie Ru already mentioned it.” Xu Shaochen interrupted pointing at Xie Ru.

Xie Ru gave Zhao Chen an apologetic smile feeling a wave of relief.

Luckily, he got captured first.

If Zhao Chen was caught earlier, he would have revealed everything to save his life, leaving no value for himself.

Truly, good things come to those who come first.

“Traitor!” Zhao Chen glared at Xie Ru harshly.

“Bah!” Xie Ru spat disdainfully: “You have the nerve to call me a traitor? If you’re not a traitor, why are you here?”

Zhao Chen ignored the fool looking at Xu Shaochen saying: “Although this traitor already spoke about it, do you know why we’re stalling you?”

“Bang!”

Xu Shaochen grabbed an apple and threw it over.

“Ah!”

Zhao Chen cried out in pain as a bump formed on his forehead.

“Stop wasting time, don’t try to act mysterious in front of me. Am I asking you or are you asking me?”

Xu Shaochen spoke coldly allowing no chance to show off for people like him.

Already a captive yet trying to act tough.

“It’s because among the three people you captured is an important figure, the illegitimate son of the Tianqing leader. The reason for stalling you is the leader plans another attack on the island to rescue him.”

Zhao Chen indeed lives up to being someone who gets close to rich women knowing even these plans.

If Zhao Chen hadn’t said, Xu Shaochen wouldn’t have known he caught a big fish.

He suddenly thought it a bad situation. What if the person Number One killed was the leader’s illegitimate son?

Xu Shaochen quickly asked: “Do you know what that person looks like?”

“Not sure, but he’s not old.” Zhao Chen shook his head as it wasn’t his son, how would he know what he looked like?

Xu Shaochen immediately called Number One on the phone confirming that what he killed was a middle-aged man feeling relieved.

After hanging up, Xu Shaochen looked at Zhao Chen with a sneer: “Tianqing’s goal isn’t as simple as rescuing someone from the island.”

With a big organization like Tianqing, the leader must have many children, an illegitimate son isn’t that important.

Would it warrant such a fuss?

Perhaps rescuing the person is just a cover to seize the core technology of the genetic serum on the island.

Zhao Chen looked puzzled: “If not to rescue, what else?”

Xu Shaochen frowned: “Are you pretending? Do you know why Tianqing attacked the island I bought?”

“Sure, isn’t it for some valuable technology in the lab on the island? But Tianqing isn’t short of money. Even plenty of money can’t compare to a real son.”

Zhao Chen nodded. The more he learned about Tianqing, the more he realized what a formidable force it was.

Such a colossal entity wouldn’t lack money.

Xu Shaochen heard this and looked at Xie Ru who also nodded in agreement.

Xu Shaochen instantly understood that besides a few mid-level and high-level members, most in Tianqing didn’t know the real goal was to produce genetic serum.

Even a kept man like Zhao Chen didn’t know, let alone ordinary members like Xie Ru.

Makes sense.

The production technology of genetic serum is highly critical.

If too many knew and it leaked, the consequences would be unthinkable.

“Anything else to say?”

Xu Shaochen asked Zhao Chen.

“No, I just joined Tianqing not long ago. Even with special channels, I can’t know much more.”

Zhao Chen shook his head, his face twitched unnaturally when he mentioned special channels.

He was very anxious now, fearful Xu Shaochen would betray him right after using him.

Xu Shaochen nodded: “A gentleman’s word is his bond. I said I wouldn’t kill you and I won’t. I said I’d let you go and I’ll let you go.”

“Phew—”

Zhao Chen sighed in relief.

Yet inside, rage surged violently.

That guy named Xu, karma goes around, in this life never let me catch you.

Otherwise, I’ll make you beg for life but unable to die.

You slept with my woman, I’ll make sure all your women know the same fate and sell them to African brothels to entertain guests!

Zhao Chen’s hatred for Xu Shaochen was unprecedented but showed not a flicker on the surface.

Xu Shaochen made a phone call: “I’m sending someone over for you to personally meet and greet.”

“Where are you sending me?”

Seeing Xu Shaochen on the phone filled Zhao Chen with a sudden bad omen.

Xu Shaochen smiled warmly: “Of course, I’m sending you to reunite with your only relative. No need to thank me. Just doing my duty. Traveling by plane is inconvenient so take the highway. Your brother Zhao Fei will personally lead people to welcome you home.”

Zhao Chen’s face changed dramatically like being struck by lightning. His mind went blank.

“No! Don’t! I can’t go back to the Northwest. You guy named Xu, you’re untrustworthy!”

Zhao Chen screamed hysterically at Xu Shaochen, seeing him as a devil.

If caught by his brother Zhao Fei, he’d surely face certain death.

“Untrustworthy? Did I kill you? No, right? According to our agreement, I sent you away. Don’t accuse me falsely.”

Xu Shaochen was displeased feeling the guy didn’t appreciate his efforts.

He went out of his way to honor their agreement, yet faced this attitude, it was absurd.
