Chapter Index

    “Where’s Big Cannon been lately?”

    Long tried to keep his tone as calm and natural as possible to avoid raising suspicion.

    With his life under threat his acting and voice modulation were well-controlled.

    It just goes to show people can be pushed to their limits (I’m not trying to be crude).

    “What’s up?”

    Liao Dapao was somewhat wary as asking for someone’s location right off the bat was already quite suspicious.

    Long had just realized this himself and felt a bit regretful his heart racing: “Didn’t you introduce me to a job? I have something I want to discuss with you in person.”

    “What can’t be said over the Phone? If you have something to say just say it.” Liao Dapao still refused to disclose his current location.

    Long said “I’m not taking this job. I’ll return the deposit to you in a bit.”

    “What… why aren’t you taking it now? You’re turning down money that’s been handed to you on a plate. Didn’t you say you were short on cash recently?” Liao Dapao couldn’t understand as it wasn’t their first time working together.

    Hearing this Long cursed inwardly. Is this what you call money handed on a plate? It’s more like a hot potato handed on a plate.

    “Brother I had some drinks at the time. Now that I’ve thought it through can I really kill someone like that? Why don’t we meet up and discuss it? To be honest it’s my first time going after such a big target I’m a bit scared.”

    Although he was cursing Liao Dapao to hell and back in his heart Long’s performance was 10 out of 10 on the surface.

    “…”

    There was silence on the other end first probably thinking. After a while a voice came through: “Alright I’m in Anyun County. Call me when you get here for the exact location.”

    “Okay.”

    Long hung up the Phone and looked expectantly at the camera.

    “Break his other leg then let him go.”

    Xu Shaochen said calmly.

    “Ah! No… no please Big Brother I can help you find Liao Dapao. Anyun County is quite big even though it’s near Jingcheng.”

    Long instantly became panicked trying to prove his value.

    Xu Shaochen smiled and said gently “Alright I won’t trouble you. You can take a good rest in the hospital for a while.”

    After saying this he ended the video call.

    Anyun County was a county town on the outskirts of Jingcheng. It would take two to three hours to drive there from here.

    Although it was on the outskirts of Jingcheng it was still at the foot of the imperial city. So while the county town was small it had quite a large population.

    It would be quite difficult for an ordinary person to find someone in such a county town.

    But for Xu Shaochen as long as the location was confirmed finding someone was a piece of cake.

    Xu Shaochen called Li Qian Ya.

    The Li family’s sphere of influence was larger than the Chen Family’s so asking for their help would be quicker.

    “Hello what are you doing so early in the morning? It’s rude to disturb someone’s sweet dreams. Ah Sister Silin don’t mess around.”

    “Don’t hang up I want that bastard to hear.”

    Xu Shaochen: “…”

    This was… he really had no words.

    “Help me find someone.”

    Xu Shaochen automatically filtered out those unhealthy background noises and stated his purpose for calling.

    “Sister Silin stop it. Finding people? Go ask my dad I… I… I don’t handle these things.”

    “Alright then I’ll go ask my father-in-law.”

    Xu Shaochen suddenly remembered that compared to Li Qian Ya Mr. and Mrs. Li Tianming seemed to like him more.

    “Xu Shaochen did you hear that? How does it feel? Do you feel the green growing on your head?”

    Just as he was about to hang up Tang Silin’s arrogant voice came through the Phone full of provocation.

    “Little bitch dare to tell daddy where you are?”

    Xu Shaochen said.

    “We’re in Room 032 of the Tianhe Hotel. Want to come? I’ll leave the door open for you. Just afraid you’re not up for it Sugar Daddy~”

    Tang Silin deliberately made the last two words coquettish full of mockery towards Xu Shaochen.

    Xu Shaochen hung up directly then went out to get dressed preparing to visit Li Tianming.

    As for the Tianhe Hotel Tang Silin mentioned Xu Shaochen didn’t take it seriously at all.

    Because if he really believed it he would have fallen for Tang Silin’s trick and definitely would have made a wasted trip.

    And if he wasn’t mistaken this Tianhe Hotel was probably very far from the Golden City Hotel.

    He took out his Phone and checked the map. It would take over an hour even by Car. She was definitely just messing with him.

    With his intelligence he certainly wouldn’t fall for such a clumsy trick.

    Half an hour later at the Li family home.

    “Oh Xiao Xu is here. Come in come in sit down. That child Xiao Ya didn’t come back last night she’s staying with Silin.”

    Seeing Xu Shaochen Mrs. Li got up enthusiastically to welcome him. After all in her eyes he was already her future son-in-law.

    “Auntie I’m not here to see Xiao Ya. I’m here to ask Uncle Li for help.”

    Xu Shaochen looked towards Li Tianming who was sitting on the sofa reading a newspaper.

    Li Tianming was taken aback and closed the newspaper in his hand: “What’s the matter? Tell me if there’s anything. I’ll do my best to help if I can.”

    “Yes Xiao Xu don’t be polite with your uncle and aunt. We’ll be family sooner or later. Your business is our family business.” Mrs. Li said with a smile.

    Xu Shaochen stated his purpose: “I want to ask Uncle Li to help find someone in Anyun County. I know his nickname Phone number and email.”

    “Alright I won’t ask why. I’ll help you with this.”

    As it was the first time Xu Shaochen asked him for help Li Tianming of course wouldn’t refuse. He put down the newspaper picked up his Phone and made a call.

    “Hello Old Zheng isn’t your child in Anyun County now… It’s like this I have a small favor… Good good good no problem. I’ll treat you to a drink another day.”

    A few minutes later after hanging up the Phone Li Tianming looked at Xu Shaochen and said “He’ll call me when he has news. I’ll notify you immediately when that happens.”

    “Thank you for your trouble Uncle Li.”

    Xu Shaochen expressed his gratitude for this.

    Meanwhile.

    Lin Kai Yang Ming Yang Hui and Li Qiancheng had gathered together again.

    “Young Master Lin why isn’t there any movement? My people say Xu Shaochen is no different from before.”

    Li Qiancheng said looking at Lin Kai.

    Lin Kai was a bit exasperated: “Young Master Li how long has it been? They’re professionals. To kill someone like Xu Shaochen of course they need to go through careful planning.”

    “How about… you give them another call to ask?” Li Qiancheng suggested tentatively.

    To appease Li Qiancheng Lin Kai nodded reluctantly and dialed Liao Dapao’s number.

    “Speak.”

    The call connected and a deep male voice sounded.

    At this moment Liao Dapao’s state was completely different from when he was talking to Long earlier.

    “Shadow how’s my… matter going?”

    Shadow was Liao Dapao’s code name. Of course “an ace assassin” needed a high-level code name.

    Otherwise how could they fool idiots?

    Even though the idiots are very stupid it’s still necessary to make full preparations and give the idiots the necessary respect.
