Chapter 557: Chapter 557: This is Too Much of a Coincidence

Tang Dao was stunned.

In fact, Tang Dao had harbored doubts about Guo Gongcheng’s identity before, but unfortunately, Guo Gongcheng’s acting skills were just too impressive, especially his mastery of the tactic of feigning disinterest. The more detached, arrogant, and unsociable Guo Gongcheng acted, the more trustworthy Tang Dao found him!

As someone as shrewd as Tang Dao, he naturally couldn’t just take the money back.

Moreover, he genuinely desired the big project in Sakura Country!

"Representative Guo, I certainly understand that’s not what you mean and with your status, you wouldn’t be concerned about this small amount of money from me."

"But this truly is a little token of my regard, and I must insist that you accept it!"

"Rest assured, this money has nothing to do with business; it’s simply me, Tang Dao, wanting to befriend you, Representative Guo."

"Even if I can’t secure the project in Sakura Country, it won’t matter!"

While speaking, Tang Dao, without any discussion, forcibly stuffed the bank card into Guo Gongcheng’s pocket.

Guo Gongcheng heaved a series of sighs, appearing quite helpless, "President Tang, this puts me in a difficult position!"

"Alas, you know I am the type of person who does not accept rewards without merits!"

"Well, since President Tang is so sincere, I will go back and clarify things again with Royal."

"Don’t worry, this time even if I have to stake my reputation, I will secure a big project worth tens of billions for President Tang!"

Tang Dao was overjoyed upon hearing this, seeing as Guo Gongcheng spoke this way, it meant there was hope!

"Then let me thank Representative Guo in advance. You are truly like my own brother! Come, let’s drink!"

Overcome with joy, Tang Dao urged Guo Gongcheng to drink heavily with him.

But at that moment.

Bang!

The room’s door was suddenly kicked open, followed by several of his men being thrown into the room.

Seeing his men beaten severely on the ground, Tang Dao’s expression instantly turned grim.

"Son of a bitch, just where do these brash young fools come from, daring to mess with Jinling Big Knife Association? They’re looking for death!"

As he spoke, Tang Dao casually beckoned, and the large knife beside him let out a buzz as it flew out of its sheath.

With the big knife in hand, Tang Dao swung wildly toward Chen Xuan, attacking with lethal intent!

His momentum was like a charging horse, his murderous aura like a tiger!

This Tang Dao had astonishing explosive power!

Chen Xuan could tell at a glance that Tang Dao was no mere common thug; his strength was significant.

As the long knife slashed down, Chen Xuan swiftly sidestepped.

Rip!

As the long knife struck down beside him, Chen Xuan could even hear the sound of the air tearing, akin to fabric being ripped apart!

This slash nearly tore through the air!

In fact, it was precisely with such knife skills that Tang Dao had been able to carve out a domain in Jinling and even dared to lead the men of the Dadao Association to venture into the troubled waters between the north and east families of Huai City!

It’s just a pity that he was far too arrogant, underestimating Chen Xuan!

As he dodged the slash, Chen Xuan’s hand transformed into a blade and he directly struck at Tang Dao’s chest.

Bang!

With a chop of his hand, Tang Dao felt a searing pain in his chest as if he’d been sliced by a sharp blade edge, causing an agonizing pain that felt as if it would explode.

"Cough cough..."

Tang Dao was sent flying and started coughing violently.

Chen Xuan then surveyed the room, with his gaze finally resting on Guo Gongcheng.

As their eyes met, both men displayed surprised expressions on their faces.

"How... How is it you?!" Guo Gongcheng, frightened, turned pale.

Last time at the vacation resort, he had personally witnessed Chen Xuan’s influence.

Even Dai Zhenghao, having offended Chen Xuan, was literally fed to the dogs; he, Guo Gongcheng, naturally didn’t dare to offend him.

Chen Xuan saw Guo Gongcheng and couldn’t help but reveal a bitter smile.

It was only now that he finally realized that the "Brother Guo" Ding Lijuan had spoken of was actually this Guo Gongcheng!

"Brother Guo? It seems your business has really been growing, hasn’t it?"

Chen Xuan glanced at the Tang Dao on the ground, his face filled with a meaningful smile.

Guo Gongcheng was so frightened that his soul nearly fled his body.

If Chen Xuan slipped up and let Tang Dao know he was a fraud, then Tang Dao would surely chop him into pieces!

"Mr. Chen... Mr. Chen, let’s... let’s talk this over. Whatever it is, let’s discuss it outside, what do you say?"

Guo Gongcheng’s face was full of pleading, clearly not wanting Chen Xuan to expose his identity as a fraudster.

If it were anyone else innocent, Chen Xuan would have exposed Guo Gongcheng’s scam on the spot, but this Tang Dao had come seeking his own death.

Such a person, Chen Xuan naturally couldn’t care less about his fate!

"Fine, I’ll give Brother Guo this face. After you!"

"Many... many thanks, Mr. Chen..."

Guo Gongcheng followed Chen Xuan out of the private room, his face filled with timidity.

Tang Dao, left behind, was puzzled and furious.

He was Tang Dao!

Under his leadership, the Dadao Association dominated Jinling.

But now, he had been beaten black and blue by this nobody whose name he didn’t even know; how could he stand for it!

"You damn cur, just you wait. If I don’t kill you, then I’m not Tang Dao!"

Elsewhere, Guo Gongcheng followed Chen Xuan out to the corridor outside the door.

"Mr. Chen, I was truly in the wrong before, and I apologize to you."

"Rest assured, I have completely broken up with Zhong Ling, and I won’t appear in front of her ever again!"

Guo Gongcheng thought Chen Xuan was here about the past and immediately started apologizing.

Chen Xuan gave a rueful smile, "You’ve misunderstood. I’m not here about Zhong Ling this time, but for something else."

"Something else?" Guo Gongcheng didn’t understand.

Chen Xuan: "You know Ding Liang, right?"

Hearing the name Ding Liang, Guo Gongcheng’s body shuddered involuntarily.

His mind raced with thoughts, and he suddenly had an inkling, asking incredulously, "The ’aunt’ of Ding Liang, she couldn’t be..."

Chen Xuan nodded, "That’s right, Ding Liang’s aunt is my mother-in-law!"

Boom!

Guo Gongcheng felt as if he had been struck by lightning.

This was too much of a coincidence!

First, it was Zhong Ling; then it was Ding Lijuan. The two schemes he had concocted and the two people he had deceived were both related to this Mr. Chen!

Chen Xuan looked at Guo Gongcheng with unexpected interest and said, "My mom is now so destitute because of you that she lost her house and is wandering the streets penniless. Guo Gongcheng, how do you think we should settle this account?

Guo Gongcheng collapsed to the ground with a thud.

"Mr. Chen... Mr. Chen, I really didn’t know she was related to you! If I had known, even if I had the courage of a bear and the gall of a leopard, I wouldn’t have dared to deceive her!"

Chen Xuan snorted coldly, "Didn’t dare? You even dared to deceive that gang leader inside, what wouldn’t you dare to do?"

Guo Gongcheng shivered with fright, feeling more than ever that his career was like walking a tightrope over a volcano, where one misstep could cost him his life!

"Mr. Chen, it’s a misunderstanding! I really didn’t mean to deceive your mother-in-law. It was all Ding Liang, that kid was the one who deliberately egged me on to set up the scam with him!"
