Chapter 914: Zheng Bei is Extremely Careful
by xennovelInside the car.
Xu Shaochen called Mei Liangxin.
He asked him to investigate whether Zheng Bei was still in Jiangzhou.
That’s right, Xu Shaochen believed this attack was organized by Zheng Bei.
After all, he had only arrived in Mexico two days ago, and to organize an effective assassination so quickly, it had to be someone with influence here.
Recently, the only enemy who could fulfill this condition was Zheng Bei.
He called to confirm if Zheng Bei was still in Jiangzhou. If he was, they could arrange for him to die there.
If not, it indicated that he had secretly returned to Mexico, and the recent attack was his own doing.
Because of the assassination attempt, Mexico City has gone into lockdown. Armed soldiers could be seen patrolling everywhere.
It was said that the authorities were extremely upset. After all, if Xu Shaochen died in Mexico, regardless of who was responsible, the Mexican Government would have to bear some responsibility.
After all, Xu Shaochen’s official reason for being in Mexico was to conduct an investment inspection, and he was personally invited by the Mexican Government.
Thus, the Mexican Government naturally had to take responsibility for his safety.
Half an hour later, Mei Liangxin called back, informing that Zheng Bei was not in Jiangzhou.
The person in Jiangzhou was one of Zheng Bei’s subordinates. Zheng Bei had been missing for two days.
“Alright, I understand.”
After hanging up, a cold gleam flashed in Xu Shaochen’s eyes, and he immediately called Miguel, sharing his suspicions.
After hearing this, Miguel immediately stated that he would mobilize all forces to search for Zheng Bei and notify Xu Shaochen the moment he was found.
Xu Shaochen quickly stopped him: “Mr. Miguel, if you do that, you’ll alert the enemy. You don’t need to do anything. If I’m right, Zheng Bei will seek you out himself.”
Zheng Bei dared to return to Mexico, so he was certainly relying on Miguel’s influence. Moreover, there was no solid evidence proving he organized the attack just now, so if nothing went wrong, he would definitely seek shelter with Miguel.
“I must be getting old, not as sharp as you young ones anymore. I know what to do now.”
With Xu Shaochen’s reminder, Miguel understood. After all, his anger towards Zheng Bei was clouding his judgment, because Zheng Bei had played with his daughter’s feelings.
In the blink of an eye, the police and military forces across Mexico City started to take action, all for the sake of finding Zheng Bei.
Zheng Bei thought that without concrete evidence, no one would do anything to him.
Unfortunately, he fell into a logical trap. Places like Mexico don’t care about evidence.
And Xu Shaochen even less.
………
“Bam!”
In the living room, Zheng Bei kicked the coffee table and cursed at the four men in front of him: “Useless! A bunch of useless idiots!”
Before the attack, they had already investigated thoroughly and found that Xu Shaochen only had fifty bodyguards with him.
Yet, they had used 100 people for the attack, with twice the numbers, and still ended up being suppressed. They even left behind more than 40 corpses.
Zheng Bei seriously doubted if these idiots had just stood there like targets.
“Boss, those bodyguards weren’t normal. They were even wearing body armor. The critical thing was, even when we shot their arms or legs, it had no effect.”
One of the men said helplessly. Facing such an overpowered group with incredible fighting capability and defense, they were just as frustrated.
“Do I look like an idiot to you?”
Zheng Bei asked through gritted teeth. He didn’t believe such nonsense. If they were making excuses, this was the worst one.
No effect after being shot in the limbs?
What? Are they Superman?
“But… but it’s the truth.”
The four of them were full of grievances. Even though it sounded unbelievable, they were telling the truth.
“Alright, no need to go on. Stay here and reflect carefully.”
Zheng Bei coldly spat out the words before turning and going upstairs.
As soon as he went upstairs, a group of gunmen in black stormed in, surrounding the four men.
“What… what’s going on? Boss, what’s happening?”
“Boss…”
The four were terrified, their faces pale as they yelled frantically at Zheng Bei’s back.
But Zheng Bei acted as if he hadn’t heard a thing.
“Bang! Bang! Bang…”
A series of gunshots followed, and the four men collapsed, full of unwillingness, dead on the ground.
Before coming in, they had already handed over all their weapons, so they didn’t even have a chance to resist.
Zheng Bei stood in the corridor, his face expressionless. After a moment, he took out his phone and called his wife.
He had married Miguel’s daughter purely to use Miguel’s influence for his revenge. He didn’t have the slightest feelings for her.
But he knew that Miguel’s daughter deeply loved him, so it was easy for him to take advantage of her.
In his mind, as long as there was no evidence proving he organized today’s attack,
If Xu Shaochen wanted to move against him, his wife and father-in-law would surely protect him.
As for Xu Shaochen’s plan to cut him off from support, he didn’t believe it would succeed. After all, he knew exactly how much Miguel’s daughter loved him.
Women, blinded by love, are never swayed by a few words.
As long as Miguel’s daughter stayed loyal, the overprotective Miguel wouldn’t listen to Xu Shaochen either.
But what he didn’t know was that Xu Shaochen had brought forth the news of his scandal with Zhou Yun, complete with real photos as irrefutable evidence.
Still, you couldn’t blame him for missing that. It was the most humiliating event of his life, something he never wanted to speak of again. He had long consciously chosen to forget it.
“Sweetheart, how are you?”
When the call connected, Zheng Bei said in a sickeningly sweet tone.
“Darling, a person from China came to see my father today and spoke ill of you. I kicked him out. I won’t let anyone slander you.”
Miguel’s daughter was also a drama queen. Although she now hated Zheng Bei, the man who had toyed with her feelings, her words were syrupy sweet.
“Sweetheart, you’re the best. I have a surprise for you. I’ve returned to Mexico and will be home soon. Excited?”
Hearing Miguel’s daughter’s response, Zheng Bei felt relieved, sneering inside. Women were so foolish. The moment love blinded them, they would lose all their reasoning.
Still, that made it easier for him to take advantage of them.
As long as he kept Miguel’s treasured daughter tied to him, Miguel’s influence would always be behind him.
“Really, darling? I’ll be waiting for you at home. I can’t wait. I’ve been dreaming about you this whole time.”
Love turned into hate. Miguel’s daughter, once blinded by love, had deeply loved Zheng Bei, and now, she hated him just as much.
“Of course it’s true. Stay home and be good.”
With that, Zheng Bei hung up the phone, then went downstairs, exited the villa, and got into the car, heading toward the slums.
