Unrivaled Soldier in the City-Chapter 331 Anger and Helplessness

"Yes, that's right. I'll pull my people back," Zhang Lianmei said with a smile.

"Alright, that's all for now. We're heading back immediately," Lin Kuang said with a laugh, and the two hung up.

「Inside the Xiangya Club」

Chu Zhongtian was furious, his face turning incredibly grim. His previous business partner had been eliminated, and now, just as he had started cooperating with Chen Jiachong, the Chen Gang and the Eagle Sect had started fighting. Of course, the key issue was that the Chen Gang had actually lost, which infuriated Chu Zhongtian.

After all, he was still counting on the Chen Gang to make money for him. If the Chen Gang were wiped out, how would he earn anything?

Moreover, Chu Zhongtian always suspected Lin Kuang's influence was behind the Eagle Sect, so he didn't want to cooperate with them. He was afraid they'd reject him even if he tried. Therefore, he could only help the Chen Gang. With no other choice, he had Hu Run dispatch men to stop the two groups from clashing.

Meanwhile, he kept dialing Chen Jiachong's cell phone. However, all he heard was a busy tone, giving Chu Zhongtian a bad feeling. When his last call to Chen Jiachong's number also met with a busy signal, Chu Zhongtian slumped into his chair, his last shred of hope completely shattered.

"It's over. Chen Jiachong is done for," Chu Zhongtian said, his expression turning ugly.

By his side, Han Qiaoqiao stood obediently, not daring to say a word. Chu Zhongtian was on the verge of exploding, and Han Qiaoqiao didn't dare set him off. Otherwise, who knew what he might do to her? She certainly didn't want to die.

Meanwhile, Chen Shaowen had also received the news of Chen Jiachong's disappearance. Although he was a bit naive, he wasn't a complete fool. Anyone could guess what it meant for Chen Jiachong to be taken away at a time like this. 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶

"Damn that Eagle Sect! They're so strong… And Chen Jiachong, you're just too incompetent!" Chen Shaowen said, his face contorted in anger.

His father didn't know about this yet. After all, he had acted on his own authority. If his father found out, he would undoubtedly get a severe scolding.

"What now? The family experts haven't arrived yet. This timing couldn't be worse." Chen Shaowen paced back and forth in his room, his face dark, unsure of what to do.

Suddenly, he thought of Chu Zhongtian. After all, Chu Zhongtian was currently cooperating with Chen Jiachong, which by extension meant he was also cooperating with Chen Shaowen. It was the perfect time to ask for his help. With that in mind, Chen Shaowen took out his phone and quickly dialed Chu Zhongtian's number.

Chu Zhongtian was sitting in his chair with an ugly expression when his phone suddenly rang. He picked it up and saw the call was from Chen Shaowen. Seeing this, Chu Zhongtian's eyes darted around. He figured Chen Shaowen must have learned something; otherwise, he wouldn't be calling at this time. With that thought, Chu Zhongtian answered the call.

"Hello, Shaowen," Chu Zhongtian said, his voice as cheerful as ever.

"Brother Chu, Chen Jiachong's in trouble! You have to think of a way to get him out, quickly!" Chen Shaowen said urgently.

Hearing this, Chu Zhongtian sneered inwardly. Damn it, I'd love to save him, but with what? Though he thought this, he didn't say it aloud. After all, he was still counting on the experts Chen Shaowen was bringing to eliminate Lin Kuang.

"Shaowen, I've already sent the police to stop the violent clash. And you know my position—I can't get too involved. I hope you understand," Chu Zhongtian said with a bitter smile, his tone tinged with helplessness.

Hearing his words, Chen Shaowen paused. He thought about it and realized it made sense. After all, Chu Zhongtian was a public figure and couldn't get too deeply involved in such matters. At this thought, Chen Shaowen's expression darkened again. "Brother Chu, is there really no other way?"

"No, Shaowen, there really isn't. If there were another way, I would have taken it already," Chu Zhongtian said with a bitter smile. He was truly out of options; if there had been any way to save Chen Jiachong, he would have taken it.

At these words, Chen Shaowen completely deflated. "Fine. I'll try to think of something else, then." With that, he hung up.

Chu Zhongtian paid him no mind. If Chen Shaowen could actually come up with a solution, Chu Zhongtian would be willing to cooperate. However, knowing that guy's intelligence, he seriously doubted he could come up with any decent plan.

While they were at their wits' end, Lin Kuang had already returned to the Eagle Sect's headquarters with his men. They got out of the cars and hauled Chen Jiachong into the building's basement.

Zhang Lianmei, having been informed by her subordinates, was already waiting at the basement elevator. Seeing Lin Kuang return unharmed brought a smile to her face.

"You're back," she said with a smile.

"Yes, I'm back," Lin Kuang said, his tone tinged with regret, "but we lost eight brothers."

"I know how to handle it," Zhang Lianmei said earnestly, nodding. "Besides, casualties are inevitable in these situations. I will take complete care of their families."

Zhang Lianmei was always generous with her subordinates, and even more so with the families of those who died, ensuring each received a substantial payment. She knew full well that the dead couldn't be brought back; the most she could do was provide financial support to their families, which was the greatest comfort she could offer. This was precisely why so many people were willing to work for her. At the very least, if they died, their families would receive a large sum of money, and this was one of the reasons Zhang Lianmei had managed to climb to her current position.

Hearing Zhang Lianmei's words, Lin Kuang nodded with a smile. "Yes, compensate them well. After all, they were the men who went through life and death with you." Zhang Lianmei nodded repeatedly in agreement.

"This is Chen Jiachong. He's all yours," Lin Kuang chuckled, dragging Chen Jiachong over and throwing him down at Zhang Lianmei's feet.

Zhang Lianmei's gaze fell on him. "Boss Chen, I really must thank you. If you hadn't attacked the Eagle Sect, we would have had to attack you. But since you moved first, I can at least maintain a good reputation in the underworld." Chen Jiachong's face turned ashen. He merely shot her a cold snort and remained silent.

"Boss Chen, I'm very curious, what exactly is your relationship with Chu Zhongtian? He even sent the police to protect you. Your connection must be quite deep," Zhang Lianmei asked with a smile, curiosity flickering in her beautiful eyes. Lin Kuang was curious as well; he also wanted to know the true nature of their relationship.
