Let’s Squander A Billion First!

Chapter 438: Chapter 438 Golden Tycoon (3)

“Boss, Ah Hua has charged out, but those people seem to know we’re still here, not many have left.”

A few men armed with weapons surrounded a man in the middle. The man, however, was calm; the constant sound of weapons from outside didn’t seem to affect him at all.

“Can we break out?”

The men exchanged glances, one of them hesitated a bit: “Boss, there are too many people outside, we’ve lost quite a few brothers just now, I’m afraid…”

The Boss swept them with a look.

The men’s backs instantly turned cold, and they straightened their spines: “We can!”

...

Only then did the Boss nod contentedly: “They’re just a few small fries, if you can’t deal with them, following me all these years would have been in vain.”

“…”

Although the outsiders were not that formidable, they had the advantage in numbers.

Even two hands can’t fend off four fists.

Of course, the men didn’t dare to contradict the Boss and started to discuss a plan.

Just as they came up with a plan, the sound of weapons from outside suddenly stopped.

Everyone was stunned; the Boss raised his eyebrows and gestured with his chin for someone next to him to go out and take a look.

However, once he went out, there was no more activity.

The Boss frowned; outside was too quiet, the person who went out hadn’t returned, and after waiting for a moment, he stood up and walked outside.

They had just been in a temporarily constructed shack, and there was a lot of stuff piled outside, conveniently blocking the view.

To get out, one had to walk around that pile of things. The Boss felt wary; the surroundings were too quiet, eerily so.

“Boss…Boss…”

The first person who went out was standing at the entrance, and upon seeing the Boss, he quickly made way.

In front of them, the open space was a mess, with vehicles crashed into one another haphazardly.

And in the middle of the open space, there was a small electric scooter, its owner was slowly walking towards them.

“Sister Zheng.”

Someone called out, and the crowd behind visibly became excited.

Had Sister Zheng come, did that mean reinforcements had arrived?

The Boss’s brows furrowed, looking at the approaching person, he remained silent.

Someone next to the Boss couldn’t hold back: “Sister Zheng, where are the people outside? Did you bring people over for reinforcement?!”

Chuzheng stood three meters away from them, her hands in her pockets, her tone exceptionally calm: “No.”

No?

“Then…where are those people?”

Chuzheng looked back; Ah Hua ran back panting: “Boss, Sister Zheng, they’re all dead.”

“…”

The Boss, who had been silent all along, finally spoke, “How did they die?”

The Boss wasn’t old, around forty years of age; accustomed to holding power for many years, he possessed an air of unassailable authority.

Ah Hua shook his head: “I don’t know. Sister Zheng and I were planning to come in to rescue the Boss, but just as we got near the front, the sound of weapons stopped…”

Ah Hua had just gone to check around and found those people lying on the ground.

The situation was a bit strange, and Ah Hua couldn’t quite explain it.

When the rest heard this, they also felt it was bizarre, surely it couldn’t be ghosts?

Chuzheng quietly fiddled with her wrist, her achievements and fame hidden deeply.

While everyone was bewildered, a car came from a distance.

The group immediately became alert and took the Boss and Chuzheng back behind them.

“Boss! It’s us!” someone shouted loud.

“Lin Feng?” Ah Hua recognized the voice.

“It’s me.”

Ah Hua first led some men out to make sure there was no danger before gesturing to the others to come out.

Lin Feng quickly stepped forward, his handsome face showing some urgency: “I received a message that the Boss was ambushed, and since I was nearby, I quickly brought a few brothers over. Boss, are you alright? Where are the people who ambushed you?”

He had been close enough to hear the commotion here.

But suddenly, there was silence, and he couldn’t reach out to the others, so after waiting for a while, he pretended to have received a message and rushed over for reinforcement.

“I’m fine.”

The Boss emerged from behind the crowd.

Chuzheng appeared alongside him.

Lin Feng’s pupils shrank when he saw Chuzheng.

Why is she here?

Didn’t Lin Yan say everything was taken care of?

Lin Feng felt turmoil stirring inside him but didn’t show it on his face. Following protocol, he asked, “Is Sister Zheng here too?”

The original owner of the body was actually younger than Lin Feng.

However, since her status was higher, Lin Feng had to call her ‘sister’.

His question revealed his doubts, but he didn’t elaborate.

Chuzheng glanced at him coldly without responding. Boss looked profoundly at both Lin Feng and Chuzheng, silent as well, making the atmosphere slightly odd.

After a moment, Boss asked Ah Hua, “Is everyone dead?”

Ah Hua nodded in affirmation, “All dead, no wounds on their bodies, don’t know how they died.”

Thinking of this, Ah Hua felt a chill down his spine; this place was eerily sinister.

“Let’s leave here first.”

“Yes.”

–

Boss took them to a temporary safe house first, with those of lower status on guard outside, leaving only a few core members.

Boss sat on the couch and lit a cigar.

“You’d better give me an explanation for today’s events.”

Not many knew of his arrival here.

The ambush here clearly indicated a leak of information, which meant there definitely was an insider.

Both Chuzheng and Lin Feng, who weren’t supposed to be here, were under suspicion.

Lin Feng knew the situation had changed and had already prepared a strategy to deal with it.

“Boss, I came here after receiving a message from one of our brothers,” Lin Feng said calmly, “Look.”

He handed his phone to Boss.

There was indeed a message requesting reinforcements in Lin Feng’s phone.

And Lin Feng was indeed on a mission nearby. He arrived here faster than usual after receiving the message, but speeding over late at night was still feasible.

Lin Feng’s explanation seemed to be without flaws.

“Chuzheng,” Boss pondered and then asked, “Why are you here?”

Leaning nearby, Chuzheng raised her head at the mention of her name.

All eyes in the room gathered on her.

Huh…

So many people looking at me?!

Chuzheng stood straight and confidently started her bluff, “Someone sent me a message saying there would be an ambush today.”

Her serious and composed appearance showed no signs of cracks.

“Oh?” Boss raised his tone, eyes narrowing dangerously, “Who?”

“Don’t know,” Chuzheng was brief, “Encrypted message.”

Boss gestured for Chuzheng to show her phone.

Chuzheng paused.

Her phone had already been taken away by Lin Feng and his sister, those damn bastards. She had no phone on her.

Chuzheng was panicking.

Miscalculation, miscalculation, miscalculation.

I forgot about that.

Not good.

No big deal.

Chuzheng spoke calmly, “I got into a fight outside earlier and dropped it.”

With that, the room’s atmosphere turned all the more delicate.

Lin Feng, clever as he was, said nothing. After all, he was under suspicion too. Anything he said now could very likely make things worse.

What’s most important is that he couldn’t figure out why Chuzheng, someone who shouldn’t be here, was here.

What on earth had Lin Yan been doing!

“Chuzheng,” Boss took a puff of his cigar, dragging out his tone, “you’ve been with me for quite some time now, haven’t you?”

“Hmm.”

“You know what I hate the most.”
