Chen Xiao's eyes instantly turned bloodshot!
A monstrous killing intent surged through his body!
"No matter who it is, anyone who dares to harm my mother will only meet death!"
Chen Xiao was truly enraged.
It was easy to guess who his opponent was, as currently, only two people could be considered Chen Xiao's enemies.
One was his old classmate, Long Yaoyang, and the other was the boss of South City, Old Eagle!
Moreover, Chen Xiao leaned towards Old Eagle being the perpetrator.
Before deciding to act, Chen Xiao called Qi Tianhu.
After all, Old Eagle was under Qi Tianhu's command. One had to consider the owner before hitting the dog.
He had only intended to inform Qi Tianhu, but after hearing about it, Qi Tianhu seemed even more furious than Chen Xiao.
He could be heard cursing loudly over the phone.
"Damn it, has Old Eagle finally gotten tired of living!"
"Brother Chen, don't rush. I'll send people to investigate immediately. If this matter was indeed done by Old Eagle, I'll make sure he doesn't see tomorrow's sun!"
Without waiting for Chen Xiao's reaction, he hung up the phone, clearly having already dispatched people to investigate.
Chen Xiao had full confidence in Qi Tianhu's handling of the matter, especially since the latter's life was practically in his hands.
Since Qi Tianhu was dealing with Old Eagle, Chen Xiao decided to find Long Yaoyang himself first.
Regardless of whether he was involved or not, it was always good to put such a character in his place.
As soon as he stepped out of his house, a dilapidated van stopped in front of Chen Xiao.
The car door opened, and a head popped out.
"Chen Xiao?"
Chen Xiao frowned slightly, "Whose subordinate are you?"
The person sneered, "If you don't want your mother to have any trouble, get in the car quickly!"
Chen Xiao got into the car without a word. There were only three people inside, including the driver.
Chen Xiao recognized one of them; he was one of Old Eagle's subordinates from last night.
Chen Xiao's expression turned sinister, "Was my mother captured by you?"
The person immediately cursed, "Stop the damn nonsense. If you still want to see your mother, just behave yourself!"
As he spoke, the person took out a rope and tied Chen Xiao's hands behind his back securely, then blindfolded him.
It was very professional; it was clear this wasn't their first time doing such a thing.
To avoid alerting the enemy, Chen Xiao did not resist, allowing them to tie him up.
The van then started and drove for about forty minutes before stopping again.
After getting out of the car, Chen Xiao was pushed forward for a short distance.
Only then was the black cloth covering his eyes removed.
Upon opening his eyes, Chen Xiao was utterly stunned by the scene before him.
This was an abandoned workshop. In the center, Liu Zhen was tied to an iron pillar.
She was unconscious, but there were several bloodstains and bruises on her face, clearly indicating she had suffered greatly before.
Chen Xiao clenched his fists, his fierce gaze sweeping to either side of his mother.
Standing on either side of his mother were none other than Long Yaoyang and Old Eagle.
Chen Xiao cursed himself for being so foolish; he should have realized long ago that these two were in cahoots.
"Chen Xiao, why aren't you kneeling down for me quickly?!"
Long Yaoyang glared fiercely at Chen Xiao.
For the past few days, he had been thinking about how to get revenge on Chen Xiao every single moment.
At this moment, his wish was finally fulfilled, and his eyes revealed a hint of madness.
Chen Xiao gritted his teeth, "Long Yaoyang, I can't believe you're so despicable!"
Chen Xiao regretted not killing this scumbag with a single blow back then, still harboring the naive hope that he would repent.
"I'm despicable?"
"Chen Xiao, haven't I been forced to this point by you?"
Long Yaoyang gave a look, and Old Eagle immediately understood. He held a steel knife to Liu Zhen's neck.
Chen Xiao's heart tightened, "It's a rule of the martial world not to involve family. If you have a problem with me, come at me. Don't hurt my mother!"
Long Yaoyang clapped his hands madly, his laughter arrogant.
"Hahahaha, Chen Xiao, Chen Xiao, you truly are a filial son. It seems kidnapping your mother was the right move!"
"Kid, if you know what's good for you, quickly remove the effects you've put on me, otherwise, I can't guarantee what I might do!"
Chen Xiao's heart was entirely focused on his mother, "You release my mother first, and we can discuss everything else!"
"You want me to release your mother first? What are you kidding me?"
Long Yaoyang spread his hands, his face contorted as if he were having a seizure.
"What do you think the situation is now? You actually think you're in a position to negotiate with me? Huh?"
Chen Xiao lowered his voice to a whisper, as if squeezing the words from his throat.
"I'll say it again, release my mother!"
Long Yaoyang laughed even more wildly, "Hahahaha, Old Eagle, did you hear that? This loser seems to be threatening us?"
Old Eagle also let out a sinister cold laugh, "This ignorant loser, still acting tough when death is imminent, truly pathetic and laughable!"
Suddenly, Long Yaoyang's laughter stopped abruptly.
"Chen Xiao, let me tell you plainly, you've walked into a dead end today. If you don't want your mother to suffer before you die, quickly cure what's wrong with me!"
"Otherwise, I will make you watch firsthand how we torment your mother to death!"
Old Eagle reached into his pants and grinned lecherously, "This old woman might be a bit old, but I, Old Eagle, have one advantage: I'm not picky."
"Kid, I'll put on a live show for you later, guaranteed to be exciting!"
Chen Xiao's emotions could no longer be described as anger; extreme anger led to indifference.
For Chen Xiao, it was an indifference to life.
"You will all die."
He said calmly.
Long Yaoyang and Old Eagle burst into laughter again.
They didn't know where Chen Xiao's confidence came from to utter such foolish words.
Chen Xiao was clearly like a piece of meat on a chopping board; whether he was sliced into strips or minced into dregs depended entirely on their mood.
They laughed heartily, oblivious that Chen Xiao had already begun silently counting down their lives.
However, just as Chen Xiao was about to make his move, a series of rapid coughs suddenly sounded.
Perhaps it was due to Old Eagle and Long Yaoyang's loud laughter, but the unconscious Liu Zhen slowly woke up.
"Chen Xiao? Why were you captured too?"
Upon waking, Liu Zhen paid no attention to her own predicament. Her first reaction was to beg for Chen Xiao's release.
"You two gentlemen, please, I beg you. If Chen Xiao has done anything wrong, I apologize on their behalf!"
"Kill me or torture me as you please, but please spare him! He's still young!"
Liu Zhen was tied up and unable to move, otherwise, she might have already knelt on the ground to beg for Chen Xiao's mercy.
"What a touching display of motherly love and filial piety, it's so moving!"
Long Yaoyang said sarcastically, then let out a cold laugh.
"What a pity, old lady. Once the arrow is shot, there's no turning back. If I don't kill him, what if he reports us to the authorities? What do you say?"
Liu Zhen immediately replied, "He won't. Don't worry. As long as you release Chen Xiao now, I guarantee he won't report you."
"You damn old woman, do you think I'm stupid?"
Long Yaoyang slapped Liu Zhen.
"Shut up immediately. If you keep babbling at me, I'll stab you to death!"
Slap!
This slap hurt Chen Xiao more than if it had been on his own face.
He suddenly looked up, his eyes like a wild beast!
"Long Yaoyang, I didn't want to kill anyone in front of my mother, but you have brought this upon yourself!"
