"Chen Xiao, what are you doing? Are you crazy?" Hu Lan shouted like a shrew.
"Do you really think what happened before is over? I called you out just so my mother wouldn't see!" Chen Xiao sneered and took out his phone, dialing a number. "Lin Zicong, I'm in the garage, come over here!"
In less than a few seconds, Lin Zicong arrived. "Brother Xiao, you called for me!"
Chen Xiao pointed at Liu Quan and Hu Lan. "Crippled them both and throw them out! They are forbidden to come within half a step of this place from now on!"
"Yes, Brother Xiao!" Lin Zicong grabbed the couple, one in each hand.
"Nephew, I know I was wrong, please give me another chance!"
"Chen Xiao, you, what do you want to do? I warn you, don't mess around..."
Facing this situation, the couple reacted differently, but it didn't stop Lin Zicong from carrying them further away. Soon, two pig-like screams were heard.
Liu Xiaopan was so scared he didn't dare to speak, standing by and trembling. He had heard from Ermaozi that Chen Xiao was doing very well now and was a big shot in the underworld, but he had never believed it, thinking Ermaozi was mistaken. It wasn't until he witnessed what just happened that he finally believed it. It turned out that the younger cousin he had bullied since childhood had truly become a big shot.
Chen Xiao didn't deal with Liu Xiaopan for the time being, as he still needed him to lead the way. "Get in the car, lead the way!" Chen Xiao commanded.
Liu Xiaopan dared not disobey, obediently got into the car, and showed Chen Xiao the way. "Chen, Chen Xiao... are we going alone?" Liu Xiaopan asked timidly, then whispered, "Aren't you a big shot now? Don't you want to bring more people? Those guys have guns..."
"Just point the way, don't ask what you shouldn't." Chen Xiao said coldly. He couldn't be bothered to say another word to a useless person like Liu Xiaopan.
"Chen Xiao, how about I give you the address and you go by yourself? I didn't get the job done, and I'm afraid they won't let me off." Liu Xiaopan said worriedly. He didn't realize that Chen Xiao, sitting beside him, was far more terrifying than Ermaozi's group.
"You're afraid they won't let you off, but aren't you afraid I won't let you off?" Chen Xiao asked softly.
Liu Xiaopan's spine chilled instantly, and he dared not speak again, focusing on pointing the way. The car sped through the city's night, eventually stopping in front of a mahjong parlor. The mahjong parlor had three floors. On the surface, it was a legitimate business, but only regular customers knew that the basement had two more floors, which housed a small casino. Liu Xiaopan was naturally a regular customer, as owing two hundred million in gambling debt was quite astonishing in Jiangcheng. The proprietress greeted this cash cow with a smile and opened a private elevator to the underground casino for him and Chen Xiao. She didn't ask Chen Xiao about his identity, assuming he was a fat sheep brought by Liu Xiaopan. After all, anyone with a fat sheep could only be a wolf!
Liu Xiaopan, familiar with the place, went to the casino on the second basement floor. This floor only catered to VIP clients. Those who gambled on this floor were either professional gamblers or wealthy officials and businessmen. The person in charge of this floor was a burly man with a beard, wearing a black suit and a white shirt. He looked fierce and intimidating. His attitude towards Liu Xiaopan was not as polite as the proprietress upstairs. Upon seeing Liu Xiaopan, he put an arm around his neck, choking him so much that he could barely breathe. "Liu Xiaopan, did you raise the money?" Liu Xiaopan shook his head and said timidly, "No, I didn't."
"Then did you do what Brother Mao asked you to do?" the bearded man asked again.
"N-no..." Liu Xiaopan continued to shake his head.
"Then what the hell are you doing here?" The bearded man's large hand gripped Liu Xiaopan's neck like a clamp, lifting him up. Liu Xiaopan struggled to breathe, frantically kicking and hitting the bearded man's hand, his feet flailing.
Chen Xiao frowned, patted the bearded man's shoulder, and said calmly, "Take me to see your boss."
"Who the hell are you? Liu Xiaopan, who is this kid?" The bearded man turned around, looking at Chen Xiao with suspicion, and loosened his grip on Liu Xiaopan. As soon as the bearded man's hand was removed, Liu Xiaopan gasped for air, having no time to answer his question. Chen Xiao was already impatient and repeated, "I said, take me to see your boss!"
"Oh, damn it, you're quite arrogant, you little brat. What makes you think you can talk to me like that?" The bearded man, seeing that Chen Xiao came with Liu Xiaopan, didn't take him seriously. He reached out to grab Chen Xiao's neck. He thought he could easily choke Chen Xiao like he did Liu Xiaopan...
Chen Xiao was merciful. With a single slap, the bearded man's bone pierced through his arm and protruded. The other party was just an ordinary person. If he had been a martial artist, Chen Xiao would have turned him into a bloody mist with one slap.
"Ah—" However, this bloody scene still agitated the gamblers around them, who immediately shouted and fled in all directions. The security guards, seeing someone causing trouble, immediately grabbed their weapons and charged at Chen Xiao. Sabers, baseball bats, nunchucks... they were all primitive weapons.
Chen Xiao shook his head helplessly, grabbed a few poker cards from a nearby gambling table, and flicked them away. *Swish—* In an instant, limbs flew around the casino. The security guards who charged at him either had their arms severed or their legs cut off. And the weapons used were just a few poker cards!
Liu Xiaopan's eyes widened as he watched. He thought he had underestimated his cousin Chen Xiao, but he never expected to have still underestimated his abilities. Thinking about how he had dared to confront Chen Xiao at the villa just now, Liu Xiaopan felt a chill down his spine, filled with lingering fear. Fortunately, his aunt was there at the time, otherwise, his fate would not have been just being beaten into a pig's head!
"Now, can you take me to see your boss?" Chen Xiao asked the bearded man again.
"You, you go this way..." The bearded man nervously swallowed and quickly nodded, then got up and led the way. Chen Xiao followed the bearded man to the door of a room. The bearded man cautiously knocked on the door.
"Who the hell is it? I'm busy, get lost!" A furious voice came from inside the room. Then, with a bang, the door was kicked into pieces. Chen Xiao strolled in. Inside the room, a portly man with a receding hairline was sitting on the sofa, his pants pulled down to his knees. Beside him, a disheveled and seductive woman was hastily tidying her clothes.
"Damn it, who the hell are you? How dare you kick down my door, you're tired of living!" The man with the receding hairline roared angrily. Chen Xiao looked at him and asked softly, "Are you Ermaozi?"
