You went on a blind date and presented an A-level wanted criminal as a meeting gift?

In the capital city, there is a hidden underground base.

This is Chu Tianxiong's last refuge, and also the command center where he meticulously planned everything.

On the large screen, live footage of the China World Trade Center shopping mall was being displayed.

When Lin Chen punched the last bomb, and the countdown stopped abruptly with three seconds left, the entire room fell into a deathly silence.

Chu Tianxiong stared blankly at the screen. His prized precision mechanical bomb, his supposedly foolproof killing move, had been completely thwarted by Lin Chen in the most primitive and brutal way!

His meticulously designed schemes were like paper toys in front of Lin Chen, utterly vulnerable.

"No...impossible! This is impossible!"

Chu Tianxiong suddenly jumped up from his chair, his eyes wide open, his bloodshot eyeballs almost bulging out of their sockets.

He roared hysterically, his voice hoarse and distorted with extreme anger and despair.

He couldn't accept this result!

He went to great lengths, using all his loyal followers and even sacrificing the last vestiges of dignity of the Sky Dome Group, all to put Lin Chen to death and turn the entire capital upside down.

But Lin Chen, that damned Lin Chen, actually resolved all the crises with ease!

"Is he a human or a ghost?! How can such a monster exist in this world?!"

Chu Tianxiong slammed his fist on the control panel, shattering the screen instantly and sending sparks flying.

But he felt no pain at all; he only felt that his heart was being torn apart by a tremendous sense of despair and shame.

Sky Dome Group is finished.

All his hard work and all his plans were completely shattered because of Lin Chen.

What's even more terrifying is that he knows Lin Chen will never let him go.

The feeling of being targeted by a hunter sent chills down his spine.

Just as Chu Tianxiong was going crazy, the metal door of the base was suddenly kicked open with a huge force!

Chu Tianxiong turned around abruptly, a hint of wariness flashing in his eyes.

He thought the police had stormed in, but when he saw who it was, his pupils suddenly contracted and an expression of disbelief appeared on his face.

It wasn't the police who came in, but Xiao Zhen, the head of the Xiao family!

Xiao Zhen was wearing a well-tailored black suit, with a sinister smile on his face.

Behind him followed a dozen fully armed assassins in black, holding silenced pistols, their eyes cold and sharp, who quickly took control of the entire base.

"Xiao Zhen! How...how did you find yourself here?!"

Chu Tianxiong's tone was filled with shock and a hint of foreboding.

Xiao Zhen did not answer. He simply walked slowly to Chu Tianxiong and stared at him with extremely sinister eyes, as if he were looking at a dead man.

"President Chu, your methods are too crude."

Xiao Zhen's voice was cold and calm, a stark contrast to Chu Tianxiong's hysteria.

"The matter has been blown up so much that the entire capital has been shaken."

"The police and higher-ups are furious and have issued a nationwide warrant for your arrest."

"In order to protect the Xiao family, I have no choice but to borrow your head."

Xiao Zhen spoke in a nonchalant tone, as if he were talking about a trivial matter.

Upon hearing this, Chu Tianxiong instantly understood Xiao Zhen's intention.

His face was drained of color, and his eyes were filled with anger and despair at being betrayed.

"You old fox! How dare you betray me?!"

Chu Tianxiong roared.

"We're allies! Have you forgotten our agreement?!"

"ally?"

Xiao Zhen scoffed, his eyes filled with contempt.

"There are no permanent allies, only permanent interests."

"You're now a useless piece, a bomb that could explode at any moment. The Xiao family has no interest in going down with you."

"You think you can get away with killing me?!"

Chu Tianxiong said through gritted teeth.

"Lin Chen won't let you get away with this! He'll find out everything! You'll end up like me sooner or later!"

Xiao Zhen's expression changed slightly. The name Lin Chen was like a curse, making him feel a chill.

But he quickly regained his composure, a ruthless glint in his eyes.

"As long as we fabricate a story that you committed suicide out of guilt, and pin all the blame on you, Lin Chen will have no evidence to harm the Xiao family!"

Xiao Zhen said coldly. He raised his hand, signaling the assassins behind him to move.

Chu Tianxiong watched the assassins slowly approach, a hint of resentment and madness flashing in his eyes.

He knew he was finished, driven to the brink by Lin Chen and betrayed by his former ally.

"Bang!"

A gunshot shattered the silence of the base.

Xiao Zhen fired without hesitation, and the bullet accurately pierced Chu Tianxiong's knee.

Chu Tianxiong screamed and collapsed to his knees, his blood instantly staining the cold ground.

"Ah—! Xiao Zhen! You'll die a horrible death!"

Chu Tianxiong let out a heart-wrenching curse as he clutched his bleeding knee and struggled in agony.

Xiao Zhen looked down at him, his face devoid of any pity.

"President Chu, don't worry. After you 'commit suicide out of guilt,' I will help you clean up the mess at Tianqiong Group."

Xiao Zhen sneered, his tone filled with the arrogance of a victor.

What he wanted to do was not just kill to silence witnesses, but also to completely absorb the remaining forces of the Sky Dome Group, pin all the blame on Chu Tianxiong, and then escape unscathed, allowing the Xiao family to emerge unscathed from this turmoil.

"Let's do it!"

Xiao Zhen coldly issued the order.

Several assassins immediately stepped forward and subdued Chu Tianxiong.

Chu Tianxiong struggled desperately, his eyes filled with despair and resentment towards Xiao Zhen.

He never imagined that his final fate would be to be betrayed by his ally and then have it fabricated as a suicide out of guilt.

Xiao Zhen watched as the assassins dragged Chu Tianxiong away, his face remaining expressionless.

He knew that Lin Chen's strength was beyond everyone's imagination. The only way now was to sacrifice Chu Tianxiong to quell Lin Chen's anger and protect the Xiao family.
