Chapter 162: Running Into an Acquaintance
A storm quickly passed, but Chen Tianlong became a divine-level figure at school, and some rumors grew increasingly mystical, even claims that Chen Tianlong was invulnerable to knives and guns emerged, making Chen Tianlong speechless.
However, Chen Tianlong felt that this matter was not simple. These days, he had been constantly threatened, and someone was definitely causing trouble, so Chen Tianlong planned to put an end to this.
After a secret investigation, Chen Tianlong learned that the big man was named Heizi and was from the Flying Eagle Gang.
"Is the Flying Eagle Gang that tough? I don’t provoke you, yet you insist on provoking me!"
After returning to the Lin Family, Chen Tianlong went out again.
At the residential area under the Flying Eagle Gang, Bao returned home to stay temporarily after being hospitalized for two days.
"Damn, even Heizi fell victim, seems like we need outside help." Bao clearly hadn’t given up. Ever since being slashed multiple times by Chen Tianlong, he was utterly humiliated in front of his followers and felt deeply ashamed.
"Yes, Bao, seems we underestimated this kid." A close confidant of Bao nodded in agreement.
"Ah, stop talking, you go out first, I want some peace." Bao felt particularly troubled and utterly hated Chen Tianlong, wishing to find someone to kill him.
After his subordinates left, Bao returned from the living room to the bedroom, ready to sleep.
Only when he turned on the light did he see a man in black sitting on the swivel chair next to the computer in his bedroom.
"Who are you?"
Bao immediately became alert. Appearing in his room required a lot of courage, even though he was injured, he wasn’t afraid due to his long experience in the underworld.
Instead, he slowly walked over.
As Bao just stepped forward, the man in black suddenly stood up, and a sharp dagger flashed past his throat in an instant.
"Ah!"
Bao let out a weak cry of terror and fell to the ground, blood staining the floor.
The task of Chen Tianlong had been completed; he leaped out of the window and quickly left, seemingly without leaving any traces. He had been a professional assassin, undertaking many similar tasks, knowing how to avoid evidence.
The next morning, when the Celestial Wolf Gang learned of the Second-in-Command Bao’s murder, they urgently gathered the brothers for an emergency meeting.
Hao Shuai had to set aside his work because this matter was significant, though others couldn’t see it, Hao Shuai realized they had been opposing Chen Tianlong, leading to Bao’s demise.
After the meeting, Hao Shuai ordered that during this period, they should keep calm and avoid provoking Chen Tianlong further. They would plan after thoroughly investigating his background.
That afternoon, the Flying Eagle Gang held an emergency meeting, swore a deadly vow, and declared they would eliminate Chen Tianlong, expressing they couldn’t coexist.
At this moment, the Flying Eagle Gang learned that Chen Tianlong had shifted to the Lin Family, indicating that he had a new backing, which was the Lin Group.
Thus, Hao Shuai decided they would use economic means to attack the Lin Family to destroy Chen Tianlong’s support, then focus all their efforts against him.
That night, after Chen Tianlong left with two girls, the car flipped in the farmland, and the Celestial Wolf Gang’s Third Brotherhood assistant, Dao, didn’t die but was severely injured, sent to the hospital and out of danger after emergency treatment.
The Celestial Wolf Group then ceased operations, withdrew all assets and shares to the Capital City’s Celestial Wolf Gang headquarters, awaiting the next detailed plan.
Therefore, the entire economic environment in South Sea City temporarily remained peaceful and stable.
However, when one wave calms, another arises in this metropolis, with the scheming and intrigues in the business world never ceasing unless the world stops running.
Several days later.
The Baiyun Group launched a massive pharmaceutical project, initially planned to operate primarily in the Capital City and South Sea City, with similar cultures and very convenient transportation between these neighboring cities.
For this plan in South Sea City, they weren’t randomly finding a company as a substitute but seeking a powerful company for cooperation, capable of ensuring the project proceeds smoothly.
At this time, upon hearing the news, the four major families of South Sea City mobilized, as it was a great opportunity for them to grow, and they couldn’t pass it up.
Especially the Mo Family and the Lin Family, any rise of one would greatly impact the other, while the remaining two families must cooperate to make a comeback.
Thus, that evening, Master Hao Dahai of the Hao Family and Liu Kaifang of the Liu Family began discussing cooperation. Given the strength of their two families, acting alone couldn’t compete against the Mo Family and the Lin Family, these two giants.
"Elder Liu, this situation is very severe, whether we can turn things around depends entirely on this battle."
Hao Dahai was smart, and his words were frank; although the four families seemed powerful, they knew the reality, if the Lin Family and Mo Family continued to grow, they could swallow the other two.
"Haha, Master Hao, I came for this matter, the Hao Family and the Liu Family have always had good relations, surely this cooperation will be pleasant!" Liu Kaifang went straight to the point.
"Hmm, I think so too."
Hao Dahai smiled faintly, and the two began discussing the upcoming plans, eventually reaching a consensus and shaking hands to signify cooperation.
Meanwhile, that evening, Chen Tianlong was also called by Lin Batian to the Lin Family to discuss major issues, not about being a bodyguard but regarding negotiating with Baiyun Group in the Capital City.
Chen Tianlong didn’t postpone it because he heard the Baiyun Group’s name, instructed by Master Yan Nanfei.
Hence, Chen Tianlong decided to take this opportunity to travel to the Capital City.
The next morning, on the flight to the Capital City, there were three groups. Some were strangers, some were familiar.
In the first-class cabin, led by the Mo Family, were three people: Mo Shaoyun and Mo Bolun, along with a stranger, middle-aged man, Mo Family’s steward, Zhou Run.
In the middle of the first-class cabin sat three people, Chen Tianlong recognized two: Liu Wenbin and Hao Jian, with another slightly older, extraordinarily distinguished, intimidating eyes.
This person was the legendary Flying Eagle Gang leader, Hao Shuai.
On this occasion, the Lin Family dispatched only two people: Chen Tianlong and the Lin Family steward, Mr. Hu.
On the flight, Chen Tianlong was not sitting with Mr. Hu but separated, with a simple purpose: to let others think Chen Tianlong was merely traveling without special relations to the Lin Family.
Although this seemed unnecessary to the Mo Family, they indeed didn’t know Chen Tianlong now belonged to the Lin Family.
