Chapter 376 Going Home to Set Off Firecrackers
Before the words were even finished, two people immediately rushed over and took Tang Yunpeng away.
Seeing Tang Yunpeng being taken away, the Tang family members looked grim and full of regret. If they had treated Chen Xuan better earlier, perhaps things wouldn't have turned out this way! wwwΑp.kanshu伍.net
The Tang family's sky had fallen!
Aunt Tang opened her mouth, wanting to plead for Tang Yunpeng, but she ultimately remained silent.
Those who harm others will eventually harm themselves. Tang Yunpeng's current predicament was entirely his own doing!
The private room was in disarray, and of course, they couldn't let Mayor Huang and the others stay there. So, they found another, larger private room in the hotel, and everyone moved to the main private room.
It was getting late. Chen Xuan asked Su Yunxi to take Song Ping and Aunt Tang home. Xue Chuan was also dismissed by Chen Xuan to be responsible for everyone's safety.
"Come back soon if nothing happens. It's almost twelve o'clock, and I'm waiting for you to set off firecrackers."
Before leaving, Su Yunxi glanced at Chen Xuan, her gentle face carrying a hint of concern.
"I will definitely remember."
Chen Xuan nodded.
At the hotel entrance, Chen Xuan watched Su Yunxi and the others leave until the taillights of their car disappeared into the heavy snowfall. Only then did Chen Xuan return to the private room.
Outside the private room, two billionaires, worth tens of billions, stood guard at the door.
Inside the private room, there were only Chen Xuan, the three giants of Jiangzhou, and Hei Hu.
Hei Hu had the right to be seated here entirely because of Chen Xuan, but he also felt immense pressure.
Chen Xuan, meanwhile, had his legs crossed, sipped the steaming hot tea, and looked nonchalant. He looked up at Mayor Huang and asked, "Is there something?"
Mayor Huang smiled and shook his head: "Nothing. Just coming to wish you a Happy New Year."
After speaking, he seemed to remember something and turned to Hei Hu, saying, "Hei Hu, I recall you saying you had something to tell Mr. Chen?"
Hei Hu was startled by this and then his eyes widened.
This old fox... he knew to make him the one to find trouble for Mr. Chen.
Hei Hu cursed the ancestors of Mayor Huang eighteen generations back in his heart, but he dared not offend Mayor Huang. If Mayor Huang really decided to investigate him, he would be finished.
Therefore, Hei Hu feigned ignorance and spoke about some trivial matters of Xuan Ji Hall, such as the gifts Xuan Ji Hall gave to its members during the New Year, and how everyone's feedback was quite satisfactory.
Mayor Huang glared fiercely at Hei Hu after hearing this, as if intending to make things difficult for him. Hei Hu turned away and pretended not to see, as Hei Hu would rather offend Mayor Huang than offend Chen Xuan. Besides, with Chen Xuan present, Mayor Huang wouldn't do anything to him. kΑnshu伍.ξà
"Mayor Huang, are you here about the matter of Xiao Mogui?"
Chen Xuan could no longer stand it and looked at Mayor Huang, asking directly.
"Haha, so Mr. Chen knows everything. That makes things much simpler!"
Mayor Huang chuckled upon hearing this, and the others also smiled.
Alliance Leader Long also said with a smile, "Mr. Chen, to be honest, during the New Year, we didn't want to cause you any trouble. However, this matter concerns the survival of Jiangzhou, so..."
"Alright, let's get straight to the point. The New Year is coming soon, and I'm in a hurry to go home and set off firecrackers!"
Chen Xuan looked up at the increasingly heavy snowfall outside the window. The clock on the wall showed ten minutes to twelve.
The New Year was coming! Setting off firecrackers was a custom!
"Alliance Leader Long, you've dealt with Xiao Mogui the most, so you should be the one to say it."
Mayor Huang glanced at Alliance Leader Long, his expression becoming a bit serious.
Alliance Leader Long had always been at odds with Mayor Huang, but this time he didn't mock Mayor Huang. Instead, he looked at Chen Xuan, then turned his gaze outside the window, his cloudy eyes trembling slightly, as if recalling something.
A moment later, Alliance Leader Long slowly began to speak:
"Xiao Mogui is not from Jiangzhou, but over ten years ago, he dominated the entire Jiangzhou. At that time, the people of Jiangzhou were suffering, and society was dark. So, the wealthy elites and the government of Jiangzhou joined forces to eliminate Xiao Mogui. However, we were still careless. We didn't expect there to be a traitor among us, and our plan was exposed. Xiao Mogui led his men to pursue us, and we were forced into a huge warehouse."
"Xiao Mogui had people pour gasoline all over the warehouse, preparing to burn us all alive." As he spoke, Alliance Leader Long paused, his pupils constricting, as if the memory was still vivid.
"Fortunately, a middle-aged man appeared later. He didn't look like a martial artist, but more like a feng shui master. We thought he was someone who had stumbled in by chance and didn't pay him much attention. But unexpectedly, this middle-aged man, with just one move, had Xiao Mogui completely unable to fight back. The heavily injured Xiao Mogui self-detonated his dantian and escaped with his life!"
"After self-detonating his dantian, Xiao Mogui should have been at least crippled. But we were truly terrified. As long as Xiao Mogui wasn't dead, we couldn't sleep peacefully, always fearing Xiao Mogui would seek revenge. So, we dispatched countless people to search for Xiao Mogui, and finally found a bloated, pale corpse under an overpass."
"We checked the corpse's DNA and confirmed it was Xiao Mogui. We finally breathed a sigh of relief."
"But who would have thought that five years ago, someone saw Xiao Mogui in the South African region and even took photos. According to our investigation, we discovered that Xiao Mogui was not dead, and that corpse was not Xiao Mogui at all, but Xiao Mogui's twin brother."
"I'll take it from here."
Mayor Huang took over the conversation, letting Alliance Leader Long drink some water, and said somewhat awkwardly, "Don't look at our high status in Jiangzhou, but at that time we were very scared, unable to eat or sleep, and had nightmares every night. We thought Xiao Mogui was going to retaliate, and we had already found people to deal with Xiao Mogui, but he never came to Jiangzhou, and we gradually forgot about him."
"Now it seems, he was waiting to grow stronger!"
Next, Mayor Huang recounted the deaths of seven wealthy elites in Jiangzhou, and his account did not significantly differ from what Tang Yunpeng had said.
Chen Xuan was not concerned about these details. What he cared about was Xiao Mogui's current strength: "Alliance Leader Long, what is Xiao Mogui's strength exactly?"
Alliance Leader Long thought for a moment and said, "More than ten years ago, Xiao Mogui's strength would be equivalent to a ninth-grade Grandmaster today. However, his dantian was shattered then. Considering the recovery of his vital energy, his current strength is likely infinitely close to the Grandmaster level."
Infinitely close to Grandmaster...
Mayor Huang and the President of the Medical Association both turned pale, their breathing catching.
It was as if a huge stone was pressing down on their chests.
"Mr. Chen, do you have the confidence?" Alliance Leader Long asked gravely.
Chen Xuan's pupils contracted, and his whole body trembled slightly.
Seeing Chen Xuan's unusual expression, Alliance Leader Long's face also darkened.
Mayor Huang and President Qi also looked at Chen Xuan nervously.
"Mr. Chen, you won't be a match either, will you?" Mayor Huang couldn't help but say.
"Damn it, it's past the hour! I promised Yunxi I'd go home and set off firecrackers! This damn..."
Chen Xuan's expression changed drastically, he suddenly stood up, grabbed his coat from the table, and turned to run.
Set off firecrackers...
The three giants of Jiangzhou looked at each other, their eyeballs almost popping out of their sockets.
"Mr. Chen... is truly a good husband who cares about his family." Alliance Leader Long exclaimed with a wry smile.
Chen Xuan, who had reached the door, paused, looked back at the three, and smiled faintly, "Leave this to me. He's just someone who is close to an internal force Grandmaster."
Alliance Leader Long immediately breathed a sigh of relief: "Mr. Chen, the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, by Weishui Lake!"
