Mad Dragon gets out of prison and marries a beautiful CEO.
Chapter 15 The Stalker
Chen Li happened to close the door and walk out.
"So early? Are you going out?"
Lu Xue took the initiative to greet him, feeling her face burning red, hoping the other person wouldn't notice her embarrassment.
"Um, where are you going?"
Chen Li noticed that she was very different today than yesterday. Although she was wearing the same white dress and light makeup, she had an ethereal quality to her.
"A female colleague invited me to have some dim sum to chat about job hunting, and I happened to run into you on my way out. It was quite a coincidence."
Lu Xue fluently recited the prepared remarks she had been mentally rehearsing for a long time, and then said:
"By the way, I don't have much to do today. I'll clean your room when I get back. I just wanted to let you know."
Chen Li pressed the button to go down the stairs and nodded, saying:
"Thank you for your help. Where are you going? I'll take you there."
He had originally intended to tell her that he was helping her find a venue to open a dance studio, but then he thought it would be better to give her a surprise.
"No need, she lives nearby. You can go ahead and do what you need to do."
Lu Xue declined.
Stepping out of the elevator, I pretended to walk towards the exit of the residential area. Seeing him drive out of the area, I stopped, patted my nervous, full chest, and turned back.
She didn't see it as a humiliating attempt to win love; on the contrary, she felt that Ziyan was right and that she should bravely pursue love so as not to have any regrets.
Chen Li's black luxury car drove into the traffic, followed by a black SUV parked not far away.
There were three people in the black SUV. The passenger was wearing a camouflage vest, with large, prominent muscles and a scar that stretched from the corner of his eye to his mouth, resembling a centipede, which looked quite menacing.
This man was none other than Lei Zhen, one of Tiger Lord's Four Heavenly Kings.
Last night, I found out where Chen Li lived and planned to follow him to a secluded place, get rid of him, and throw him into the sewer.
Chen Li glanced in the rearview mirror and spotted the SUV following behind him. He curled his lips into a sneer.
Arriving at the Xingyao Group building, we stopped next to the red Ferrari.
Mu Ningshuang got out of the car, opened the door of the A8, and sat in the passenger seat:
"Take your car to the seaside pier."
She was dressed very business-like today, in a fitted suit with a white shirt underneath. After his intervention, the shirt was so full that it looked like every button was about to burst under the weight.
"I suggest you change your itinerary."
Chen Li kindly offered a reminder.
Why?
Mu Ningshuang was puzzled.
Chen Li gave her a wink, signaling her to keep an eye on the black SUV parked not far behind.
"Tracking?"
Mu Ningshuang asked in shock.
Chen Li nodded.
"What's meant to be will be. We need to find a place and ask them who ordered us to follow them, otherwise we'll live in constant fear."
Mu Ningshuang sat up straight and spoke in a grand manner.
"Aren't you afraid we'll get hacked to death?"
Chen Li was speechless for a moment.
"I believe in your abilities."
Mu Ningshuang said confidently.
After passing through the city, we sped along the east-facing coastal road and arrived at the Donghai Wharf.
Today the weather is fine and sunny, and you can see the islands floating on the sea in the distance, like a small boat.
"So, did you see that!"
Mu Ningshuang pointed to the island and explained:
"We have to take a sightseeing cruise or a tourist speedboat to get to the island because it is not well developed, the facilities are backward, the transportation is inconvenient, and very few people go to the island."
Chen Li rented a speedboat and sped off towards a distant island with Mu Ningshuang in tow.
Not long after.
Lei Zhen arrived with several of his men, rented three tourist speedboats, and followed them.
The sea breeze howled, making Mu Ningshuang's long hair flutter.
She looked back and saw three motorboats following them side by side.
She had a vague worry: was she being too reckless?
If they get to the island and Chen Li can't defeat them, wouldn't he be walking into the lion's den, getting killed by them...?
She dared not think any further. She had already come all this way; she couldn't possibly lose face and beg Chen Li to turn back, could she?
I was filled with anxiety and trepidation the whole way, and I never managed to say a word.
Shortly after arriving on the island, three motorboats followed closely behind and docked.
Mu Ningshuang tugged at Chen Li's clothes and asked in a low voice:
"Who do you think sent them?"
Chen Li already had the answer and replied:
"It might be people sent by your second uncle and aunt, or Tiger from the Juxian Chamber of Commerce sending people to kill me to protect his own."
Mu Ningshuang was surprised:
"The Gathering of Heroes Chamber of Commerce? Tiger Lord has four henchmen, each a ruthless killer. If it's them, we're probably in deep trouble!"
"Scared? Too bad you don't have a chance to leave. Go ahead and inspect the project you want to acquire."
Chen Li spoke calmly, then turned and walked deeper into the island.
The island is small, only about the size of five or six football fields.
A narrow path paved with gravel leads to the center of the island, where abandoned construction projects lie dead in the weeds.
Fortunately, the infrastructure has been built, and the unfinished hotel buildings stand in the center of the island, so you won't get lost.
Lei Zhen led three people off the boat and saw Chen Li and Mu Ningshuang's figures disappear at the end of the path hidden in the grass. He grinned maliciously, pulled out a retractable baton from his waist, and strode after them.
"Chen Li!"
Lei Zhen's rough, hoarse voice came from behind:
"Stop running, this island is only so big, you can't get out."
Chen Li stopped, turned around, his eyes as calm as a deep pool, and asked:
"Who said I was running away? Who are you?"
"Tiger Master asked me to pass on a message: if you harmed his adopted son, you'll have to pay with your life!"
Lei Zhen cracked his thick neck, his knuckles making a series of crisp sounds, and continued:
"If you know what's good for you, kneel down and kowtow three times now, and I might leave you a whole corpse."
Chen Li's lips curled into a slight sneer:
"Kneel down and kowtow three times, and I'll make your death less painful."
Mu Ningshuang recognized Lei Zhen and was stunned. She didn't expect Chen Li to be so tough. She just hoped that Chen Li could win!
"court death!"
A fierce glint flashed in Lei Zhen's eyes. Without saying a word, he flicked his wrist, and the baton shot out half a meter long, its iron-gray body gleaming coldly in the sunlight.
The three men behind him also drew their weapons: two daggers and a short steel pipe.
Mu Ningshuang's throat bobbed, and she took a half step back, but she forcefully suppressed the urge to turn around and run away.
She had seen Chen Li fight before, but it was always with his bare hands. This time, there were four burly men wielding weapons. Would he still be able to handle them with ease?
Lei Zhen gave the order, his gaze fixed on Chen Li:
"I'll take care of this kid; you guys watch the woman."
"Once I kill Chen Li, I'll rape and murder Miss Mu, then dump her body at sea. No one will ever find out!"
The crowd burst into lewd laughter.
Before the laughter subsided, Lei Zhen pounced on Chen Li like a tiger descending a mountain.
The baton, accompanied by a whooshing sound, swung towards Chen Li's head with such force that a hit to the skull would surely shatter it.
Chen Li turned slightly to the side, and the baton grazed past his ear, the strong wind making his earlobe sting.
After a brief exchange, it was estimated that Lei Zhen possessed the strength of the late-stage Body Tempering Realm, a level of expertise rarely seen among ordinary people in the mortal world. No wonder he was so arrogant.
He took a half step forward, grabbed Lei Zhen's wrist holding the stick with his right hand, and pushed Lei Zhen's elbow with the heel of his left hand.
Lei Zhen's arm bent at an odd angle, and the baton flew out of his hand, rolling into the grass.
What?
Lei Zhen's pupils suddenly contracted as he realized that his opponent was a master of feigning weakness to deceive him, and that he had underestimated him.
The price is death.
The next moment, Chen Li punched down, his muscular chest caved in with an exaggerated arc.
Lei Zhen grunted, spitting out a mouthful of blood, which sent the person flying backward in a breech-high, shrimp-like shape.
Before he could fly far away, Chen Li grabbed his ankle and pulled him back, then kicked him hard in the air, slamming Lei Zhen into the ground.
With a loud bang, dust billowed up.
"Attack together!"
Lei Zhen, lying on the ground, roared.
The three subordinates exchanged glances. Although they were intimidated by Chen Li's skills, they ultimately dared not disobey Lei Zhen's orders and charged forward with gritted teeth.
The dagger drew several silver arcs in the sunlight, stabbing towards Chen Li's chest, abdomen, and back from three different angles.
Chen Li spun around on the spot, passing through the gap between the three attacks like a whirlwind.
He moved with lightning speed, striking the man on the left in the ribs with his right fist, then striking the man in the middle in the throat with his left palm, while simultaneously delivering a whip kick to the side of the man on the right's knee.
Three muffled thuds sounded almost simultaneously. The three people were pushed away as if by an invisible force, flying backward in three different directions and rolling several meters away on the ground.
The three died on the spot from severe internal injuries.
It took no more than five breaths.
Mu Ningshuang stared blankly at the scene, her heart pounding like a drum.
She had seen people who could fight, but she had never seen anyone fight like this.
This man is so cool, just as domineering and powerful as he is in bed!
The four burly men armed with weapons were as vulnerable as paper in front of him.
Chen Li looked down at Lei Zhen, his tone indifferent:
"You bunch of trash think you can kill me? Believe me or not, I'll slaughter the entire Juxian Chamber of Commerce!"
Lei Zhen gritted his bloodied teeth and said fiercely:
"You'll die a horrible death if you make an enemy of my Juxian Chamber of Commerce!"
"Hmm, then I'll make sure you suffer a terrible death. You said you were going to rape and then kill Mu Ningshuang, right?"
Chen Li waved to Mu Ningshuang, who was not far away:
"Come on, kill him!"
Mu Ningshuang subconsciously stepped back and shook her head, saying:
"No, I'm afraid. I won't kill anyone."
Chen Li's smile was harmless, yet it sent chills down one's spine.
"This is between the two of us. You saw me kill someone. If you don't finish me off with two more stabs, I'll have no choice but to kill you too."
It may sound like a joke, but it is indeed a profound truth concerning life, death, and interests.
Mu Ningshuang understood. Now they were not only soul partners with deep communication, but also strategic partners who would share both prosperity and adversity.
How can we let Chen Li bear the risk alone?
She took a few steps forward, picked up the dagger from the ground, and walked towards Lei Zhen step by step, her breathing rapid and her whole body trembling.
Chen Li only asked her to symbolically stab him once, but she shouted and lunged forward, stabbing him hard in the heart with each stab, drawing blood with each stroke.
Lei Zhen stared wide-eyed as he died at the woman's hands, the light in his eyes gradually dimming.
"alright."
Chen Li pulled her away.
She lay on the grass, vomiting violently. Her entire consciousness collapsed and then slowly rebuilt.
Chen Li dialed Mu Dingshan's number and explained everything that had happened on the island.
Upon hearing this, Mu Dingshan flew into a rage:
"I knew some people harbored ill intentions and wanted to harm my Mu family. As long as I have breath in my body, I'll fight them to the bitter end!"
"Don't worry, young friend Chen, I'll send my trusted bodyguards to the island to handle the body right away!"
His granddaughter, Mu Ningshuang, is the pillar of the Mu family and his lifeline. Even if the Juxian Chamber of Commerce dares to touch his granddaughter, he dares to declare war!
Moreover, the Mu family now has a Grandmaster-level expert in charge!
After hanging up the phone, Chen Li stood to the side, waiting for Mu Ningshuang to calm down.
She had remarkable mental fortitude; she calmed down quickly, wiped her mouth with a tissue, and stood up.
"Are you alright?"
Chen Li turned to look at her, his tone much gentler than before.
"Much better. I never thought killing would be anything but pleasant."
Mu Ningshuang couldn't help but complain.
Then he straightened his chest, trying to make himself look less disheveled, making his blood-stained white shirt appear even more full, and said:
"But it's good that you're alright. It seems we need to take Tiger Lord of the Juxian Chamber of Commerce seriously."
"He can't cause any trouble."
Chen Li patted the dust off his hands and looked towards the distant sea:
"Come on, didn't you want to see this island? Now that you're here, take a good look around."
Mu Ningshuang was stunned for a moment, not expecting him to still have the mind to explore the island.
If it were someone else, it would take them at least half a day to calm down after a fight.
But Chen Li looked so nonchalant, as if he had just casually swatted a few flies.
As Mu Ningshuang watched his retreating figure, the doubt in her heart grew stronger.
Who exactly is this man?
Why do they have such skills?
And why are you willing to live in that old, run-down neighborhood?
She didn't ask, because she knew that given Chen Li's personality, if he didn't want to talk about something, she wouldn't get an answer from him.
