Chapter 802: Complicated Relationships
by xennovel“Zhaoming, arrange for someone to keep an eye on things. See if that old man is really dead.”
Su Tianwen looked at Su Zhaoming and said.
Su Zhaoming nodded with a smile: “Dad, don’t worry. I’ve already sent people to the Chen family’s entrance to watch. We’ll get the news right away.”
“Ding ding ding…”
As soon as he finished speaking, his phone rang.
“It’s here.”
Su Zhaoming glanced at the caller ID and answered the call.
A moment later, he hung up and excitedly said: “Dad, Second Uncle, the old man is really dead.”
“Hahahahaha…”
The Su Family’s living room was instantly filled with laughter.
…………
The Chen family had actually prepared for everything already.
After all, Old Master Chen’s body could give out at any moment, so these arrangements were always on standby.
So that very day, the mourning hall was quickly set up, and the whole Chen Family Residence was draped in white.
The news of Old Master Chen’s death began to spread.
Xu Shaochen stayed for a while before leaving.
Tomorrow would be the official day for mourning and bidding farewell to Old Master Chen, so he knew he wouldn’t have time tomorrow. He had to go to Anyun County today to take care of Liao Dapao.
Long Yi drove, and after a one-hour and fifty-minute drive, they finally arrived in Anyun County.
Following the address provided by the Li family, the three arrived at the Garden Compound, where Liao Dapao lived.
“Knock knock knock…”
Xu Shaochen signaled with his eyes, and Long Er stepped forward to knock on the door.
“Who is it?”
An irritated voice came from the room.
“Property management. Someone downstairs complained about noise. We’ve come to check what’s going on.”
Long Er said seriously.
“Complaining for nothing. When did I ever make noise? This is ridiculous…”
Cursing, Liao Dapao opened the door.
When he saw Long Yi and Long Er in formal suits, he didn’t notice anything odd. After all, suits were typical for property management staff.
But when he saw Xu Shaochen, his face immediately changed, and he reflexively tried to shut the door.
After all, he had seen the information and photos Lin Kai had sent him. There was no way he’d forget Xu Shaochen’s face.
After all, Xu Shaochen’s life was worth five million.
That’s right. Lin Kai originally offered five million, and he immediately cut the price down to fifty thousand for Long, who then outsourced it for thirty thousand to Little Four.
Unfortunately, his reaction was fast, but Long Yi and Long Er were faster.
Just as he was about to close the door, both of them kicked out simultaneously.
“Bang!”
“Ah!”
With a scream, Liao Dapao fell directly to the ground.
Long Yi and Long Er rushed in and pinned him down tightly.
“What are you doing?! Let me go! You’re trespassing! I’m calling the police! This is illegal! Let me go!”
Pinned down, Liao Dapao continued shouting and struggling.
“Bang!”
Xu Shaochen kicked him in the head.
“Ah!”
Liao Dapao screamed again, but this time he quieted down, not daring to shout anymore.
“Clang!”
Xu Shaochen shut the door with a backhand motion, looking down at Liao Dapao. “Looks like we found the right guy. You’re the one.”
“No, no, Big Brother! I don’t even know you! I’ve never seen you! There must be some misunderstanding, right?”
Liao Dapao thought he could still save himself.
“If you don’t know me, why were you running?”
“Oh, right… You might not know me, but you should know Long and Little Four, right?”
Xu Shaochen spoke coldly, his eyes full of mockery.
“Little Four?”
He knew Long, but who was this Little Four?
Xu Shaochen paused. Seeing that Liao Dapao didn’t seem to be faking it, he said, “Wasn’t Little Four the assassin you hired through Long to kill me?”
“???”
Liao Dapao was completely confused. He’d hired Long, but he’d never heard of this Little Four.
Xu Shaochen pondered for a long while before realizing the truth. This was an intermediary situation. The job had been outsourced layer by layer, until finally landing with Little Four.
“So, tell me. I’m very sure we’ve never met. We had no past grudges or recent disputes. Why do you want to kill me?”
Xu Shaochen looked at Liao Dapao with genuine confusion.
Liao Dapao’s face immediately changed. There was no way he could take the blame for this: “No, no, no! It’s not me trying to kill you! Someone hired me.”
“Who was it?”
Xu Shaochen cursed inwardly. Who could it be?
Now it was time to unravel this complicated relationship.
Someone hired Liao Dapao to kill him, but Liao Dapao passed the job to Long, who then outsourced it to Little Four.
It was like a reseller meeting a middleman. Little Four was getting the worst deal, earning the least but taking the most risk.
“It was… Lin Kai. He’s studying abroad in Mg Country. Big Brother, I confess. I admit everything…”
Liao Dapao blurted everything out, explaining how he met Lin Kai and how he conned him.
After listening, Xu Shaochen’s face shifted between light and dark. He never expected that the mastermind behind all of this would be Lin Kai.
“Big Brother… I’ve told you everything I know. Will you… Will you spare my life?”
Liao Dapao looked at the still-silent Xu Shaochen, feeling immense pressure as sweat dripped from his forehead.
“Call him. Tell him you want to meet tonight. You can make up a reason.”
Although Xu Shaochen wanted to go find Lin Kai now and eliminate the threat immediately, he decided it’d be better to wait until tonight so as not to alert him.
“Yes, yes. I’ll call him now.”
Liao Dapao grabbed his phone and dialed Lin Kai’s number.
As soon as the call connected, his demeanor changed completely, leaving Xu Shaochen dumbfounded.
“Pick a place. I’ll meet you tonight. Okay, stop talking nonsense. Just wait for me there.”
Liao Dapao’s attitude was firm and arrogant. After speaking, he hung up immediately.
After the call ended, his expression softened again, and he gave Xu Shaochen a flattering look: “Big Brother, everything is settled. We’re meeting at 9 PM in Room 3 at the Golden Sun Clubhouse.”
“I wouldn’t have guessed that was you,” Xu Shaochen said, genuinely surprised.
Liao Dapao scratched the back of his head: “It’s all about earning a living, Big Brother. You know, got to be flexible…”
“Bang!”
Xu Shaochen kicked him again: “Damn, you really think you’re something, don’t you? Take him away.”
“Big Brother… where are you taking me? Please, just let me go. I won’t dare do this again.”
Liao Dapao panicked, crying like a child, tears and snot everywhere.
“I’m taking you to meet the final contractor of this little scheme. Maybe you two will have something to talk about.”
Xu Shaochen said coldly, planning to lock him and Little Four up together.
He wondered what kind of sparks would fly between the two.
