Chapter 58 Chen residence
🕑 Added 2025-03-08 10:05:05 +0000 UTCChen Dehai could be considered a top-class person in Zhong Hai City. Back then, he had come to Zhong Hai from the north to find a job and chanced upon catching the eye of a small boss in the underworld. From then on, he managed to work his way from a hired thug to the position of being the right-hand man of that small boss.
Chen Dehai’s methods were naturally fierce, and with his disposition of being naturally mistrustful, in just a few years, he managed to expand that small boss’ territory, leading it to become a rather powerful force in the West District.
In these past 10 years, Chen Dehai once again abruptly emerged and helped the head of the West Union Society, Situ Mingze, who was also Rose’s father. By getting rid of his original boss, he became one of Situ Mingze’s most important figures.
Because Chen Dehai had already grasped control of the majority of the forces that belonged to that triad’s boss, when he successfully seized the old boss’ position, he did not meet much resistance. Many people had long determined him to be the next boss, so they drifted with the current and supported him in taking up that position.
That is to say, without Chen Dehai, even if West Union Society wanted to become the overlord of the West District, they probably would’ve needed to wait a couple more years. There were people who once joked, saying how Chen Dehai was just like Wu Sangui letting the Manchus out, betraying his king to crown himself. But nobody knew if and when he would rebel again.
Although there were countless whispers outside, inside the West Union Society, Chen Dehai was actually looked upon with great importance. After all, if one were to talk about the power they wielded inside Western Union, he was one of the strongest elders within.
Moreover, the more someone seemed like a small fry on the surface, the more easy it was to defend; therefore, West Union Society’s president, Situ Mingze, always treated Chen Dehai well; the two’s relationship was exceptionally harmonious.
After Yang Chen briefly looked at Chen Dehai’s data, the first thing he felt were these words: “ambitious and ruthless," without a care for the world’s ethics and morals, and he even more so doesn’t care about the rules of Jiang Hu. Everything he does is to exchange for an even higher backer and crawl up to a higher position with firm steps.
If nothing unexpected happened, a person like this would be someone who could live till his later years, which was rare in the underworld. This was because he himself is a traitor and is clear on how to prevent others from betraying him.
“It’s a pity you gave life to an idiot of a son.”
Yang Chen softly muttered, closed the laptop, and then memorized all the map details that Rose provided to him.
Downtown at night, like a bunch of glittering neon lights, a clear distinction was formed in comparison to the public roads of the suburbs.
Half an hour later, Yang Chen stopped his BMW outside a little public park in Zhong Hai’s western suburbs, and in the surroundings were dilapidated residential areas. Chen Dehai’s private villa was right beside a river pass, one kilometer away. If he stopped the car too close, it would be difficult for him to conceal himself.
Yang Chen changed into a fitting black short-sleeved shirt and a pair of blackish-brown trousers on his bottom. The cool wind of the night blew past, while Yang Chen hopped a few times and made some strange stretching movements. His whole body gave out “Pi Pa Pi Pa” cracking sounds, and only about two minutes later did he put an end to these movements.
“Hu…….”
With a long exhale, Yang Chen raised his head towards the hidden new moon in the sky, revealing a somewhat relaxed smile.
"Luckily, my body hasn’t turned rusty.”
Right after those words, Yang Chen’s figure disappeared from his original position in an instant, and when he appeared again, he was already tens of meters over and above a three-story apartment’s roof. Agile like a leopard cat that excels at leaping around, running, and jumping from rooftop to rooftop, he headed towards the brightly lit villa by the river pass.
In less than two minutes, Yang Chen was already crouching on top of a tall tree, and less than 30 meters in front of him was the Chen residence. It covered over eight hundred square meters of space with a five-story apartment building.
According to the data, Chen Dehai’s wife died of breast cancer soon after giving birth to Chen Feng and Chen Tianbo, and so this huge fort-like building was only occupied by the father and two sons. But of course, the guards around to protect them also took up a significant amount of space.
The higher one’s position was, the more worried one would be for their own safety, and Chen Dehai was no exception.
Yang Chen took a rough glance and saw that to enter the Chen residence, there was only the main door, which had eight black-clothed sentries standing in line just in front of the entrance. In the courtyard, there would occasionally be several bodyguard-esque people walking past for inspection, but it seemed like the frequency of those people wasn’t high, and if one carefully snuck in, it would not be that difficult to enter the apartment building.
Yang Chen wouldn’t believe that such a big area only had this little amount of people, and looking at it carefully, it seemed that most of the henchmen were loitering inside the apartment building to stay close and protect the Chen father and son.
Infiltrating the villa was not a difficult thing to do for Yang Chen. However, this wasn’t his goal, and what Yang Chen was considering was how to locate Chen Dehai and Chen Tianbo, the father and son. So Yang Chen felt that it would be better to just catch someone and ask them.
Done thinking, Yang Chen’s body once again left the tall tree’s branch, and when he reappeared, he was already at the entrance of the Chen residence with a harmless smile.
The eight henchmen were first surprised by the sudden appearance of Yang Chen, then they hurriedly surrounded him.
“Halt, who are you!? Do you know where this place is?!”
The leading man with a big physique sternly asked.
Yang Chen did not reply, and when he was about 5 meters away, he gently tapped on the ground with his toes, and his body flew like an arrow, abruptly leaping towards the eight men!
The eight people simply did not even have time to react; their pistols were near their bosoms, but in such close range, there simply wasn’t a chance to draw them. One of them tried to raise his fists to block, but all of a sudden, he was hit by Yang Chen’s fist for a moment, then felt an acute heart-tearing, lung-splitting pain; it was like the bones in his hands were completely shattered!
If one watched from afar, it would seem like Yang Chen’s body rejected the earth’s gravity; he broke through the eight men while his whole body was in the air and somersaulting a whole 360 degrees, like a black tornado. Both of Yang Chen’s hands and legs came into contact with the eight men, namely the eight people’s fists, palms, chests, and stomachs.
All this happened in a flash, and without waiting for the eight people to react, they were already down on the ground like they were nailed to it. Because of a part of their body’s pain, they let out mean and ferocious looks, and wails of “Oww Oww” were uncontrollably released.
The leading man with a big physique felt all the bones in his hands shatter, and he knew he had met a tough adversary, so he no longer dared to resist. In a cold sweat, he hurriedly stretched his hand and pressed on the walkie-talkies’ talk button in an attempt to notify everyone inside.
Unexpectedly, someone wearing sports shoes suddenly kicked his cheeks and smashed the walkie-talkie into pieces. The big man’s head tilted, his eyes, ears, mouth, and nose shot out strings of blood, and a serious depression appeared on his skull while dark red liquid poured over the ground. With one look, anyone could tell he was dead!
The moment the other seven people got up, they witnessed this miserable scene and sucked in a cold breath. The young man in front of their eyes had actually maintained a faint smile, like before. If there truly was a fiend from hell, that fiend’s smile would probably be just like this!
The seven people who originally wanted to make a report all had cold sweat overflowing as they looked at Yang Chen, and they were frightened to the point that they didn’t even dare to budge.
Yang Chen was very satisfied with this result, and as for the member of the underworld he killed, he didn’t feel any guilt. After all, if he piled up all the lives taken with his hands, they would reach as high as a skyscraper.
“I’m in a rush, so I’m not going to beat around the bush with you. I want to know where Chen Tianbo and Chen Dehai are right now, and if you guys can speak up, then you can get lost, but if you don’t speak up, I will help you get lost by myself.”
Yang Chen’s tone of speech was relaxed, but to these seven people’s ears, the words “get lost” sounded like summons from the god of death.
