After ending the call, Bai Jinghong contacted Ah Kun.
Tonight was meant to be the final reckoning with Chen Lin.
If not for the intervention of the Gu Tianming angle, Chen Lin could have lived a while longer.
According to Bai Jinghong’s arrangement, he was to strip away everything Chen Lin had, making him betrayed by everyone and abandoned, his corpse sunk into the Dragon Sea.
Bai Jinghong even wanted to bring Yan Man along, to let Chen Lin see another heart-fluttering side of his mother.
And hear Chen Lin call him “Uncle Bai” or “Stepdad.”
What a pity, plans couldn’t keep up with changes.
As for Gu Tianming, it was because of Shen Yaoyao’s family vendetta. Even without that layer, he still had to die, sharing the protagonist template.
The call went through, and Ah Kun picked up quickly.
“Young Master!”
“Mm, Ah Kun, there’s work to do. Mobilize our elites!”
Ah Kun’s voice immediately turned serious on the other end. “How many men do you need?”
“Ha, let’s play big. Surround Nine Dragons Cemetery. Ambush a hundred around the main plaza!”
Ah Kun was somewhat surprised; that scale was indeed very large.
“Weapons?”
Bai Jinghong hesitated for a moment. The opponents were two major protagonists after all; he couldn’t underestimate them. Strategically valuing the enemy was only right.
After all, protagonists carry two things called luck aura and plot armor!
The type who could even stumble upon martial arts manuals after falling off a cliff!
If they weren’t turned into Swiss cheese, Bai Jinghong wouldn’t feel at ease.
“Ten men equipped with sniper rifles. I’ll get someone to handle that.”
“Then you take twenty men to the East City Crossing Black Market. Find Jackal and Cuttlefish. These twenty need submachine guns. The rest stay with their original kits!”
“Young Master, Jackal and the others probably can’t produce that much stock!” Ah Kun said somewhat helplessly.
These were contraband items. Getting a few out was already difficult; twenty was indeed challenging.
“Hah, if they can’t produce them, kill them. You think I don’t know what kind of birds they are?”
“Tell them the money won’t be short. If the goods aren’t in place by 5 PM, we’ll deal with their whole families!”
“Yes, Young Master!” Ah Kun immediately agreed.
In Dragon Sea, calling Bai Jinghong an emperor wouldn’t be an exaggeration.
He simply had people in every sphere; his power was too immense.
Military, police, underworld, business, government, fringe—in almost all areas, Bai Jinghong reigned supreme.
Shen Yaoyao and Zi Yue had already opened their eyes, both watching Bai Jinghong.
“Jinghong, is the operation starting?” Shen Yaoyao shed her usual gentleness, her gaze firm.
“Mm, just about,” Bai Jinghong said lightly.
Zi Yue also already knew about Shen Yaoyao’s situation and naturally stood on Shen Yaoyao’s side.
As for the Hell Organization, they could go die.
“Jinghong, what do we need to do? Give us our assignments!”
Zi Yue also chimed in.
“You two? You’re not needed this time. Just watch the show from the shadows.”
Shen Yaoyao and Zi Yue naturally understood Bai Jinghong’s meaning.
After all, he had already stirred up Gu Tianming’s hatred for Chen Lin. Naturally, they were to watch dogs bite dogs.
Although Gu Tianming and Chen Lin were both martial artists, martial artists were still human. Without stepping above Heaven Rank Warrior, they were still afraid of firearms.
Their skills weren’t on par with Chen Lin and the others. If they rashly attacked and were taken hostage, it would instead cause Bai Jinghong’s plan to fail completely.
However, Zi Yue did have an opportunity to act. As a poison user, she feared mass combat the least.
“Yaoyao, you can contact Chen Lin according to plan now. Tell him to go to Nine Dragons Cemetery at nine tonight!”
“Remember to tell him to bring more men. Ideally, have him bring out all those Underworld Guards and everything.”
“Just say I’m going to pay respects to an old friend and brought quite a few people. Strive to deliver him a team wipe!”
Shen Yaoyao nodded.
Zi Yue, however, picked up on something different and said with some surprise, “Jinghong, you… you still want to use yourself as bait for Chen Lin?”
“No, that’s too dangerous.”
Bai Jinghong raised his hand and ruffled her beautiful hair. “What’s that matter? To catch the pup, you must enter the dog’s den!”
Bai Jinghong was naturally unafraid.
His Soul Capturing Eye wasn’t just for show. Combined with his comprehensive medical skills and Mystic Rank Late Stage strength,
self-preservation was completely not a problem.
In any case, the bodyguards following him at that time would be Gu Tianming and his men in disguise.
He didn’t need to worry about anything; he could dodge away at any time.
Although the two women were worried, they also chose to trust Bai Jinghong.
He wasn’t so easy to deal with.
Shen Yaoyao then dialed Chen Lin’s number.
After Chen Lin picked up, he was as happy as a dog.
“Yaoyao, is there news?”
“Mm, Hades, your chance has come!” Shen Yaoyao said.
Chen Lin was indeed extremely pleased. “Speak quickly!”
“Bai Jinghong told me to get off work early today. He’s going to Nine Dragons Cemetery at nine tonight to pay respects to an old friend!”
“You can make your move there!”
Chen Lin burst out laughing. “Good, good, Yaoyao, well done!”
Shen Yaoyao’s face was expressionless. Listening to Chen Lin’s laughter made her want to slap someone.
“But you need to bring more men, because Bai Jinghong has brought some bodyguards, probably quite a few. Those bodyguards have guns.”
Chen Lin had originally wanted to say something like “a mere Bai Jinghong.”
But recalling the losses from the last ambush, he played it smart this time.
“Yaoyao, don’t worry about me. This time I’ll bring over a dozen Underworld Guards. They’re all elites; dealing with Bai Jinghong’s bodyguards will be easy.”
“They’ll be armed too. Of course, if it comes to hand-to-hand, that’s even better. I want to torture him a bit.”
“This time, I will definitely cripple Bai Jinghong, let him know the fate of provoking me, the War God Hades!”
“Once he’s crippled, his family will be grief-stricken. Then will be the best time for you and me to take over the Bai Corporation.”
Shen Yaoyao’s expression was icy. She responded flatly, “Yes!”
“Yaoyao, you’ll soon be able to return to my side. You must have missed me a lot too, right? It’s nothing. Once the plan succeeds, you’ll be my woman!”
Chen Lin declared proudly.
Shen Yaoyao really wanted to vomit. She secretly thought that after things were settled tonight, she must put a few extra bullets into Chen Lin.
However, to avoid arousing his suspicion, Shen Yaoyao still responded with an “Mm.”
After hanging up, Shen Yaoyao huffed angrily, “Disgusting!”
Zi Yue also giggled, mimicking Chen Lin’s voice, “Once the plan succeeds, you’ll be my woman, hahahaha!”
“How come I never noticed before how greasy and nauseating Chen Lin is, utterly revolting!”
“Alright, time to get up. There are quite a few things to do today!” Bai Jinghong took over the conversation.
The three got up together. Although they were all bare, there was no trace of embarrassment.
After all, after such intense activity last night, they had been together through it all.
The three went to eat breakfast and left the Autumn Club.
But once outside, Zi Yue and Shen Yaoyao did not follow Bai Jinghong.
Because Bai Jinghong still needed to go find Gu Tianming.
If they followed, it would definitely blow their cover.
…
Afternoon.
Inside the hotel where Gu Tianming was staying.
Bai Jinghong had already appeared here.
At this moment, Bai Jinghong and Gu Tianming sat facing each other.
“Mr. Gu, the arrangements are in place. Tonight, Nine Dragons Cemetery. You just need to disguise yourselves as my bodyguards.”
Bai Jinghong didn’t beat around the bush, getting straight to the point.
Gu Tianming looked at Bai Jinghong and asked, “I wonder what method Brother Bai is using to draw Chen Lin out?”
Gu Tianming was also an extremely cautious person; otherwise, he wouldn’t have escaped the Green Gang’s kill order back then.
“Aye, speaking of this, it’s truly a sin!” Bai Jinghong feigned annoyance.
“When you gave me Chen Lin’s basic information, I recognized him. Now you know why I raised the price, right? I’ve clashed with him before.”
“I sent people to wreck his company, and that’s when the grudge was formed.”
“Then during the auction, he snatched a plot of land from my company’s bid, even snatched two.”
“Damn, we almost came to blows right there at the auction house.”
Bai Jinghong spoke with evident frustration and anger.
Gu Tianming burst out laughing. “Seems like it’s all heaven’s arrangement then.”
After speaking, he gestured to his right-hand man, apparently sending him to confirm the details.
“No kidding. That bastard Chen Lin, cutting off my financial path—I really want to kill him.”
