Mad Dragon gets out of prison and marries a beautiful CEO.

Chapter 121

Chen Li took Su Wan to Xinghai Entertainment, where Xiao Wen was already waiting in the conference room with the contract.

Su Wan got out of the car and was escorted upstairs by bodyguards.

Chen Li didn't leave immediately. He sat in the driver's seat, lit a cigarette, and took out his phone to look at the last few messages Ye Qinglian had sent.

Zhou Ting got into the car to Mingyuan and told Ye Qinglian not to stop him.

Zhou Ting went to see Lu Changgeng at this time because she had no new cards to play and could only go back to report for duty and receive the next instructions.

But what instructions will Lu Changgeng give her?

Zhou Ting knew that she was an undercover agent on Lin Xiao's side who had been exposed. She could no longer stay in the Qinglong Hall. Her only way to survive was to rely entirely on Lu Changgeng.

Chen Li placed his palm on the steering wheel and rubbed the leather texture on the surface of the steering wheel with his fingertips.

If Zhou Ting takes Lin Xiao's inside information to Lu Changgeng's territory, the Qinglong Hall's cleanup plan will be leaked ahead of time.

Lin Xiao is going to purge people tonight. If Zhou Ting sells what she knows to Lu Changgeng, Lu Changgeng can take away the people Lin Xiao wants to eliminate in advance and keep them as spies planted in the Qinglong Hall.

He picked up his phone and sent Ah Kun two words:

"Let's do it."

In that old residential area in the north of the city, intercept Zhou Ting after she gets out of the car and prevent her from entering Mingyuan's territory.

Forty minutes later, Ah Kun called back.

His voice carried an undisguised panting:

"Mr. Chen, we've intercepted him. He's behind an abandoned gas station in the north of the city."

"The van she was in didn't reach the designated meeting point at Mingyuan. We forced it to stop halfway there. Zhou Ting got out of the car and ran a few steps, but we held her down."

Chen Li asked:

What was she carrying with her?

Ah Kun replied:

"A handbag containing a cell phone, ID card, car keys, and a handwritten list. The list contained the names of people who were to be eliminated from the Qinglong Hall tonight, and she took it to Lu Changgeng."

Chen Li leaned back in his seat and listened to this conversation.

Zhou Ting took the list to meet in the north of the city, explaining that Lu Changgeng wanted Lin Xiao's cleanup plan for tonight.

Lu Changgeng took Zhou Ting back not so that she could escape safely, but so that he could use the last information she had to save those people.

Chen Li confessed:

"Keep the list safe and deliver it to Ye Qinglian tonight. Keep the person; don't hurt her, but don't let her access any communication devices. We'll talk again after I've dealt with her matter."

Ah Kun asked again:

"The car that Mingyuan sent to pick her up..."

Chen Li replied:

"You decide what to do."

Ah Kun responded and hung up the phone.

Chen Li placed his phone on the passenger seat and restarted the car.

With Zhou Ting taken down, Lu Changgeng's plan to meet in the north of the city was ruined.

He will find out tonight that the car he sent to pick her up came back empty, and he will also realize that Zhou Ting was intercepted on the way.

He will begin to shrink back, clear the field, and hide his cards.

But Chen Li didn't want to give him that time.

At seven o'clock in the evening, the sky began to darken.

Chen Li parked his car at the entrance of Mingyuan Mountain and got out of the car.

He didn't go around, but walked directly to the iron gate and knocked twice on the horizontal bar.

A figure came running down from the main courtyard through the gate. It was the butler of Mingyuan, dressed in a gray suit, with white hair, and his steps were hurried yet restrained.

He ran to the inside of the iron gate and stood there, looking at Chen Li through the railing with a very flat expression on his face.

"Mr. Chen, the former chairman is not receiving visitors today. If you have a message to convey, I can pass it on to you."

Chen Li did not reply to him.

The iron gate creaked and deformed as Chen Li pushed it with his hands and arms. The cast iron welds broke apart one by one, and the fragments bounced twice on the bluestone ground.

The door was pushed open, creating a crack large enough for one person to squeeze through sideways.

Chen Li walked in sideways, passing the butler without looking at him.

The butler stood still, taking a half-step back, his hands hanging at his sides, as if he knew he couldn't stop him and didn't reach out.

Four people were standing on the steps in front of the main gate.

There were only two guards when I came last time, but this time there are twice as many, and the stun guns on their waists have been replaced with longer black equipment.

As Chen Li passed through the screen wall and stepped onto the stone steps of the main courtyard, the four people made a move at the same time, but did not rush forward.

They guarded the positions on both sides of the main hall entrance, forming a loose, arc-shaped formation, as if they had been arranged to intercept him when he arrived.

Chen Li stopped at the bottom of the steps.

He didn't look at the four people; his gaze was fixed on the tightly closed wooden door of the main hall.

A sliver of warm light shone through the crack in the door; someone was inside.

As he stepped onto the first step, the one closest to him took a half-step forward and placed his hand on his waist.

Chen Li turned and glanced at him, his gaze calm. The man's hand remained suspended in mid-air, not moving down.

Chen Li continued up two more steps, with the other three people blocking his way.

"roll!"

Chen Li unleashed his inner energy, knocking back all those blocking his way. Blood trickled from the corner of his mouth. Faced with such a powerful opponent, the group was helpless.

Chen Li walked to the front of the main hall and pushed the door open.

Lu Changgeng sat in a round-backed chair, with a celadon teacup beside him. The tea was clear and blue, and steam rose and dissipated from the rim of the cup.

He saw Chen Li push the door open and come in. He glanced at him, then lowered his gaze, picked up his teacup, and took a sip.

"Xiao Chen, you didn't come here to draw your sword today." Lu Changgeng put down his teacup, his voice as gentle as ever. "I've already drawn the sword. You've come here to exchange it for an even faster one."

Chen Li did not sit down, but walked to the tea table and stood there, saying:

"You put Zhou Ting in the Azure Dragon Hall and send messages out from inside. This afternoon she was going to deliver Lin Xiao's list of people to be eliminated tonight to you. She's in my hands now, and the list is with me too."

Lu Changgeng picked up his teacup, took another sip, and said:

"Xiao Chen, I've seen more young people like you over the years than you imagine. Every time you think you've won, you've only taken one step forward."

"So what if you know everything? Can you change the situation?"

Chen Li did not respond.

He drew a short blade from behind his waist and placed it on the tea table. The blade gleamed coldly under the warm yellow light.

Lu Changgeng's gaze fell on the blade, and a crack finally appeared in the calm on his face.

His hand holding the teacup paused slightly, the rim of the cup tilted half an inch, and the tea spilled out, wetting the table.

He didn't wipe it, but slowly put the cup down and looked up at Chen Li.

"Xiao Chen, this isn't the first time you've brought a knife into my main hall. Last time you stuck it on the tea table, and I didn't stop you from leaving. Do you know why?"

"Because you can't stop it."

Lu Changgeng's lips twitched, as if a suppressed smile hadn't had a chance to surface.

"You're right about some things. I can't stop you because you're young, daring, and have no worries. But there's another reason: I'm waiting for you to bring all your pieces to me."

"If you don't come, I'll never know how many cards you have left."

"You're here today, which means you have no new moves left."

"Your people intercepted Zhou Ting, took the list, and smoothed things over with Lin Xiao, and then you came to Mingyuan. You think you won?"

Chen Li looked at him, without looking away:

"You think I have no new moves?"

Lu Changgeng replied:

"Young man, what else do you have?"

"You killed Guigu, crippled Ye Zong, subdued Lin Xiao, pulled Su Wan out of the entertainment industry, intercepted Zhou Ting, and obtained the list."

I know everything you've done.

"You've put all your usable chips on the table, but when you reveal them all, it means you have no more hole cards to exchange."

Lu Changgeng reached for the teapot on the table and poured himself another cup of tea.

Hot water was poured into the cup, and the tea leaves swirled and floated in the boiling water. He held the cup to his lips and blew on the surface, the steam spreading in front of his face.

"You walk in now, sword drawn, stand before me. You want me to fear you, to bow my head. But Xiao Chen,"

He took a sip of tea and put down the cup.

"This is Mingyuan, and I have been sitting in this chair for thirty years."

"There are twenty people outside the courtyard in front of you, eight people at the foot of the mountain, and ten more in the duty room."

"You can get in, but can you get out?"
