Chapter 149: The Cheng Family's Counterattack
At the corner, Red Dragon and the others were already lying in wait. Before long, Xiao Ye soon heard the sound of water.
Judging from the footsteps, there were two people.
The number was small, and Xiao Ye let out a breath.
Upon hearing the sound of removing diving equipment, Xiao Ye took a step forward and rushed straight out from behind the container!
The sudden attack was extremely swift. By the time those few realized it, Xiao Ye had already charged right in front of them!
An ambush!
The mercenary's eyes turned fierce instantly, but just as he reached for his waist, Red Dragon and his men also emerged from the darkness!
It didn't take much effort; the people before them finally reacted!
At this moment, Jiang Zi finally processed the situation in front of him, but where had he ever seen such a spectacle!
Scared out of his wits, he froze on the spot, his legs trembling so violently that he couldn't move an inch!
His eyes were filled with sheer terror!
Just then, Jiang Zi suddenly remembered that he still had his cell phone on him.
As he intended to pull out his phone, a somewhat familiar voice rang out.
"It's a dark and windy night, walking alone on a night path, aren't you afraid of falling?"
Jiang Zi shivered fiercely. Could this voice possibly be Xiao Ye's?
It wasn't as if he had never seen Xiao Ye before; he had seen him back when Xiao Ye severely injured Ye Gang.
At this moment, only one question echoed in his mind!
This should never be! How could Xiao Ye possibly know about this place?
Jiang Zi's mind buzzed with a loud ringing, and he stood frozen in place.
At this time, the subdued mercenary still attempted to make a small move.
However, it was completely caught in Xiao Ye's sight. With a whip kick, Xiao Ye directly knocked the mercenary unconscious!
Jiang Zi picked up his phone, trembling, and pressed a button.
Never in his wildest dreams did he expect that taking such a desperate risk tonight would lead to this kind of outcome!
Jiang Zi suddenly felt that his scheming was utterly foolish. Was someone like this really someone he could ever hope to retaliate against?
Xiao Ye had no intention of giving any chances and directly knocked Jiang Zi unconscious with a blow!
"Red Dragon, call the others to clean this up."
Xiao Ye glanced at the three people lying on the ground and turned to leave.
...
At that moment, within the Cheng Family Manor, inside Cheng Jiangshan's room.
Seeing the green dot representing Jiang Zi on his phone suddenly vanish, Cheng Jiangshan froze in place.
An accident happened so quickly?
Cheng Jiangshan broke out in a cold sweat all over, quickly popping the SIM card out of his phone and destroying it.
What on earth was going on here?
Xiao Ye checked the equipment—there were over five boxes in total!
At this moment, the trunk of the car driven by Red Dragon was packed to the brim!
The items loaded in the car were naturally those few individuals whom Xiao Ye had dealt with.
Xiao Ye glanced at his watch; the time was not even close to nine o'clock.
Qin Xueer should be...
Meanwhile, Cheng Jiangshan was still trapped in a state of extreme shock and fear.
Where did his plan go wrong, and why did Jiang Zi destroy his phone so quickly?
Cheng Jiangshan pulled out his regular daily phone and, with trembling fingers, dialed Jiang Zi's number.
Yet this time, there was simply no answer on the other end of the line!
Hanging up the phone, Cheng Jiangshan fell into a deep silence.
The situation had completely exceeded his expectations. He had anticipated that Xiao Ye would come.
However, never in his wildest dreams did he expect that Xiao Ye would anticipate their actions in advance, waiting for them to walk right into the trap!
How could this possibly be!
Just then, the phone rang, giving Cheng Jiangshan a great start!
He hurriedly answered the call, and before Cheng Jiangshan could utter a word, the voice of a middle-aged man poured into his ears.
"Boss Cheng, fifteen minutes have already passed, and I haven't even seen a shadow of the promised goods. What on earth is going on?"
Cheng Jiangshan opened his mouth, but found himself completely unable to respond to the buyer's inquiry!
"Perhaps there was a slight mishap along the way. Let me look into it for you again!"
Cheng Jiangshan forced a smile, flattering the voice on the other end of the line.
"No need, Boss Cheng. You have broken your word time and time again. No matter how low I might stoop, I could never cooperate with someone like you again. Let's end it here!"
Before Cheng Jiangshan could reply, the sound of the line being hung up came from the phone.
Cheng Jiangshan instantly panicked and immediately dialed back, but after several attempts, there was still no answer!
"Bastard!"
Overcome with rage and frustration, Cheng Jiangshan violently hurled his phone onto the floor!
He had schemed for so many years, finally managing to chase away the Liu family and establish his own power.
Moreover, through further infiltration, he had already broken into Jianghai City's underground world!
He was just one step away from merging the two systems into one!
Could it be that his painstaking efforts over all this time were going to be washed down the drain just like that?
At the thought of this, a stabbing pain gripped Cheng Jiangshan's heart!
He had expended a tremendous amount of effort to arrange all these various factions.
Yet now, because of Xiao Ye's forceful intervention, it had failed so inexplicably, something he found utterly unacceptable for the moment!
Emotions surged in his chest, and Cheng Jiangshan's hesitation gradually turned into anger.
To be stopped in his tracks by some inexplicable force? You've got to be kidding me!
Cheng Jiangshan struck the wall fiercely with his fist and then strode out of the room.
Since you, Xiao Ye, don't want to live in peace, then fine!
I'll let you witness the wrath of my Cheng family, and even the entire Jiangnan District!
Why not!
Upon receiving the message from the Cheng family, the Ye family and the Chen family were naturally filled with bewilderment.
A meeting of the major families in Jiangnan District had not been held for nearly ten years. The last time it was convened was to drive out the Liu family.
What special matter was it for them to be called together once again?
Could it be that a new operation was afoot?
Although the Ye and Chen families were also tied up with urgent matters, the confusion in their hearts remained unresolved!
When he received the call from the Cheng family, the head of the Chen family was looking at a fax sent by Cheng Jiangshan lying on his desk.
He knew that Cheng Jiangshan was crazy, but he never expected him to go mad to this extent!
The head of the Chen family shook his head. He had already chosen to heed Scorpion's words, but this matter still required seeking instructions.
Immediately afterward, he placed a call to Scorpion.
"The Cheng side has already sent me a message saying they want to hold a plenary meeting. What do you think I should do?"
Scorpion on the other end of the phone pondered for a moment before speaking directly to the head of the Chen family.
"I think it would be more appropriate to go. After all, this is a family assembly. Attending more often can also maintain ties with everyone, which will facilitate our next steps!"
"I understand, I will do as you say!"
At this moment, the head of the Chen family had practically become Scorpion's lapdog; virtually all commands throughout the entire Chen family household were actually handled by Scorpion alone.
...
Meanwhile, aside from the Ye and Chen families, other comparable households had also received invitations from the Cheng family.
No matter what, the Jiangnan District was still spearheaded by the three major families, who remained the figureheads of this region.
Cheng Jiangshan was indeed furious; he couldn't wait to make a move against Xiao Ye!
However, the attendees participating in this meeting this time were far from being limited only to people from those three families!
