Chapter 142 There is no way to win but there are ways to win
Xue Ke's personality, just like his appearance, is sinister and vicious, giving people a chilling sense of intimidation.
Therefore, among the "Five Tigers of the Sea of Clouds", his name is also the most famous.
Even in some social occasions in Yunhai City's upper class, many young people will change their expressions whenever the name "Xue Ke" is mentioned.
Regarding Xue Ke, many people would hide whenever they could. If they offended him, they would definitely run away with their families overnight and would not dare to stay in Yunhai City for a long time.
And all of this is not only related to Xue Ke's cold and vicious character, but more importantly -
It’s because of Xue Ke’s family!
…
Xue Ke was born in the Xue family and grew up in the Xue family.
Although he is not the eldest son of the Xue family, Mr. Xue doted on him so much that he was regarded as the apple of his eye when he was a child.
However--
When Xue Ke was still young, the Xue family became famous in Yunhai City.
People of the older generation all know that the Xue family was once the "grey family" in Yunhai City and started out as a gangster.
At that time, the Xue family had great power in the underworld, covering almost half of the "gray area" of Yunhai City. Whenever there was a fight or vandalism anywhere in Yunhai City, it was bound to be related to the Xue family.
In that era, the Xue family embraced both black and white and had a great reputation on the road.
But later, as Yunhai City's crackdown on organized crime intensified, the Xue family suffered extremely heavy losses.
Mr. Xue knew that if he continued like this, the Xue family's family business would be destroyed sooner or later. So, he made an important decision——
Turn black into white!
Since then, the Xue family has begun to transform, from an out-and-out gangster family to the "Xue Group".
Relying on the Xue family's financial savings over the years and Mr. Xue's network of connections in Yunhai City, the "Xue Group" was soon on the right track, and the Xue family's transformation became extremely successful.
After that, the Xue family got rid of the name of "gangster" and slowly developed the financial industry and business, investing in hundreds of supermarkets, restaurants, and entertainment cities. The family's financial resources were booming, and they finally settled in Yunhai City.
But--
Even though the Xue family has drawn a clear line from the Taoist affairs and vowed not to get involved in the underworld.
But secretly, some of the gangsters who once fought against Mr. Xue maintained a close relationship with the Xue family.
In short, in the open world, the Xue family is a dutiful businessman, running a family business such as the "Xue Group"; but secretly, the Xue family still has an inseparable connection with the underworld in Yunhai City.
As a result, the Xue family's influence in Yunhai City will become even greater.
Whether they are black or white, they all have a heartfelt fear and respect for the Xue family.
…
However, in the Xue family——
As long as Mr. Xue is alive, Xue Ke will still be the "treasure" of the Xue family.
It is precisely because of this that Xue Ke's reputation is very famous in Yunhai City. Coupled with his cold and vengeful character, anyone who offends him will definitely not end well.
…
The rooftop villa where Xu Chenggong was staying at this time belonged to Xue Ke.
In the beginning, Xue Ke spent tens of millions of dollars to build a luxurious rooftop villa in a land as valuable as Yunhai City.
It is precisely because of this that when Xu Chenggong came here, he seemed very frightened, fearing that he would accidentally miss out on a business trip.
So——
When Xue Ke walked out of the room with a tired look on his face, Xu Chenggong suddenly stood up from the sofa without any hesitation.
You know, Xu Chenggong is also well-known as a ruthless character in Yunhai City. Now, it seems a bit funny for him to treat someone with this attitude.
"Sit down!" Xue Ke's expression did not change due to Xu Chenggong's flattery. He just waved his hand casually and sat down on the sofa opposite Xu Chenggong.
After Xue Ke sat down, Xu Chenggong sat down carefully. His movements were extremely gentle, and his expression looked very serious, as if he was afraid of making mistakes.
"Tell me what you need from me." Xue Ke spoke without even raising his head.
In response to this, a look of helplessness flashed across Xu Chenggong's face. No matter how careful and serious he was, he never received Xue Ke's attention.
It is true that a person of Xue Ke's status is simply beyond the reach of Xu Chenggong.
"Well..." Xu Chenggong started, his tone full of nervousness: "Last night, two people came to the Starry Night Hotel..."
Immediately, Xu Chenggong told Xue Ke everything that happened at the Starry Night Hotel.
After hearing this, Xue Ke didn't even frown, and casually said "Oh": "Oh? What happens next?"
"There is a man and a woman. The man's identity is very strange. I checked for a long time, but I can't find out his background."
Xu Chenggong explained: "But he said that he has a very good relationship with the 'Five Tigers of the Sea of Clouds'; as for that woman, she used an ID card named 'Shi Xinrui' when she checked in, and her appearance is as beautiful as any other.
Situ Yuehua from the police station!"
However, as soon as Xu Chenggong finished speaking, Xue Ke's expression changed drastically.
"What did you say?" Xue Ke narrowed his eyes slightly, and the cold look on his face became even colder.
A cold sweat suddenly appeared on Xu Chenggong's back, and he did not dare to look directly into Xue Ke's eyes.
"I...I..." Because of nervousness, Xu Chenggong became incoherent.
Seeing this, Xue Ke's expression became even more ugly: "Do you have any photos of those two people?"
"Yes, yes!" Xu Chenggong seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw and quickly took out a box of video tapes from his arms: "It's all in this video, it's all here..."
After finishing speaking, Xu Chenggong stood up quickly and handed the videotape in his hand to Xue Ke with a look of fear.
Immediately, Xue Ke stood up suddenly, took the video tape handed over by Xu Chenggong, turned around and rushed into the room without saying a word.
Seeing Xue Ke's anxious look, Xu Chenggong couldn't help but be stunned.
"I have never seen Mr. Xue so nervous." Xu Chenggong's thoughts were as chaotic as numbness: "Does that man really know the 'Five Tigers of the Sea of Clouds'? Is his relationship with Mr. Xue unusual?"
Thinking of this, Xu Chenggong couldn't help but raise his hand and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. But he was thankful in his heart that he didn't take it upon himself to offend the man and woman in the hotel. Otherwise, he would definitely suffer a big loss.
…
This side.
After Chen Hao left the Starry Night Hotel, he took a taxi and drove to Zijin Community.
And yesterday, it was here that he was attacked by three killers. If he hadn't been agile and extremely sensitive to the sense of crisis, he might have died in the hands of those three killers.
He came back to do something very important——
That is to find out from Mumuzi’s mouth who the “employer” is!
…
"squeak!!!"
The taxi stopped outside the Zijin Community, and after Chen Hao paid the taxi fare, he went straight upstairs.
Building A, fourth floor, room 414!
When Chen Hao stopped outside the door, his brows could not help but frown. So at this moment, the key he had just taken out also stopped in mid-air.
"Breathe!"
Chen Hao felt very keenly that there were weak breaths coming from the room. Moreover, those breaths were extremely weak, as if someone was deliberately holding their breath.
Chen Hao knew that people who could hold their breath like this must have received special training.
Soon, Chen Hao thought of Mu Muzi.
"Could it be her?" A look of helplessness appeared on Chen Hao's forehead: "This idiot!"
Yesterday, when Chen Hao carried Mumuzi back to the room and tied her to the bed with a red rope, he deliberately left a plum blossom dart in the hope that Mumuzi could rely on the plum blossom dart to untie herself.
So escape from this place.
In this way, Chen Hao can secretly track Mumuzi and find the location of her organization.
However, Chen Hao did not expect that Mu Muzi did not leave after being untied, but hid in his room.
"Is she staying here just to wait for me to come back and then kill me?" Chen Hao soon guessed Mumuzi's intention:
"What an idiot. I really don't know how she can be a killer with her IQ."
After all, Mumuzi had already fought against Chen Hao yesterday. She should know very well that, let alone one of her, even ten of her would definitely not be Chen Hao's opponent.
However, she knew she was outmatched, so instead of running away, she stayed here waiting for an opportunity to attack. Either she was too confident, or her head was broken.
"What an idiot!" Chen Hao couldn't help but cursed again, looking furious.
If Mu Muzi does not escape, Chen Hao will not be able to track her. As a result, it will become much more difficult for him to know who is the "employer" behind the scenes.
"There is no other way!" Chen Hao breathed a long sigh of relief: "Since you are not willing to let me follow you, then I have no choice but to 'torture a confession'!"
A cunning look flashed across Chen Hao's eyes.
And the next second, the key in his hand was inserted into the keyhole of the door——
Click!!!
The door opened.
At the same time, Chen Hao's figure also appeared in the room.
at the same time--
It was slow but fast, the moment Chen Hao walked in, countless plum blossom darts came from all corners of the room, like snowflakes flying in the sky, blocking all Chen Hao's paths.
When Chen Hao saw this, not only was there no fear on his face, but a playful smile appeared on his face.
"Oh, he actually set up a trap!"
Chen Hao raised his lips and looked very interested:
"Only those despicable killer organizations will use this kind of trivial technique."
When Chen Hao finished speaking, he had already taken off the belt from his waist.
Then, his arms suddenly shook, and the belt in his right hand turned into a long whip, swinging left and right in the air like a snake coming out of its hole.
At the same time, as Chen Hao swung his belt, sonic booms sounded from the air, just like a duel between masters in martial arts novels——
If there is no trick, there is a trick to win! (To be continued)
