Chapter 492: Chapter 488: Luring and Capturing the Snake King

Not Nanrong Wanqing?

Snake King looked stunned, his gaze suddenly drawn to a part of the other person’s body. As he clearly saw the protruding part, his face changed dramatically, and he quickly pushed the car door open. But before Snake King could run out of the car, the ’Nanrong Wanqing’ sitting in the back seat had already wrapped a scarf around his neck, firmly restraining him in the driver’s seat.

At the same time, the door of the Mercedes-Benz sedan was opened by someone from outside. Following that, Zhong Wei and Liang Zhao Hui pounced in like ferocious wolves, jointly overpowering Snake King and binding his hands with the ropes they carried.

Within the cramped driver’s seat, no matter how skilled Snake King was, he had no chance to escape from the three men. Soon, he was subdued by Zhong Wei and others, thrown into the backseat where both Zhong Wei and ’Nanrong Wanqing’ kept watch over him.

"Who exactly are you?" Snake King glared at ’Nanrong Wanqing’, his teeth gritted as he asked.

The latter pointed at his Adam’s apple and replied seriously: "Of course I am a man."

"Disguise Skills... Impressive!" Snake King snorted coldly. He saw the Adam’s apple only after the other party removed the scarf and realized he had captured the wrong person. Unfortunately, his reaction was still a beat too slow to escape.

At that moment, ’Nanrong Wanqing’ removed a thin, skin-like mask from his face and then took off the wig, revealing a masculine visage.

Seeing the true face of the other, Zhong Wei raised his thumb and praised with a smile: "Amazing, if Ling Chen hadn’t alerted me in advance, I wouldn’t have been able to distinguish between the real and fake."

The man before them was none other than Bai Huanjun, who had been missing for a long time.

Initially, Bai Huanjun was injured and it was Ling Chen who had saved his life, and also given him two million. Later, fulfilling his promise, Bai Huanjun settled his affairs and returned to East Sea City as soon as possible.

All along, Ling Chen had arranged for Bai Huanjun to stay near Nanrong Wanqing, secretly ensuring her safety. He would not show himself unless absolutely necessary.

Learning that Snake King had arrived in Beijing, Ling Chen decided to use trickery, having Bai Huanjun impersonate Nanrong Wanqing to capture Snake King’s attention. Ling Chen had seen Bai Huanjun’s Disguise Skills, which were incredibly lifelike, making it difficult for even acquaintances to discern the truth.

Of course, setting up this plan wasn’t guaranteed to entice Snake King, Ling Chen could only try to create opportunities and lure Snake King into action. This was also the main reason he didn’t accompany them. If he appeared beside Nanrong Wanqing, Snake King would likely be cautious and not dare to act rashly.

Twenty minutes later, the Mercedes-Benz sedan arrived at an abandoned warehouse in the suburbs.

Zhong Wei and Liang Zhao Hui escorted Snake King out of the car, then followed behind Bai Huanjun into the warehouse.

In the vast warehouse, thick dust covered everything, and there was a chair placed in the middle. Ling Chen stood with his hands behind his back, watching Zhong Wei’s party approaching with a slight smile on his lips.

"Snake King, long time no see."

Snake King, with a cold face, silently watched Ling Chen, his icy and venomous gaze as if he wished he could carve Ling Chen up with a thousand cuts.

"Sit down!"

Zhong Wei uttered sharply, forcibly pushing Snake King into the chair, while Liang Zhao Hui immediately used zip ties to bind Snake King’s hands and feet, rendering him immobile.

"Just kill me, why waste time," Snake King said coldly.

"Do you really want to die?"

"Since I dared to become an assassin, do you think I’d be afraid of death?"

Hearing this, Ling Chen gave a slight smile and turned to signal with his eyes to Zhong Wei and the other two. Getting the message, they turned and exited the warehouse.

After Zhong Wei and the others left, Ling Chen paced around Snake King and asked, "Should I call you Snake King or should I call you Nanrong Zhengqing?"

The moment the four characters of ’Nanrong Zhengqing’ entered his ears, Snake King’s ashen face instantly changed color. He violently raised his head, looking straight into Ling Chen’s eyes, and asked with furrowed brows, "How do you know my true identity?"

"There are no walls in the world that can keep out the wind. Truth be told, I didn’t expect you to be so ruthless. Nanrong Wanqing is your niece, related to you by blood, yet you have the heart to kill her."

"We’ve been brought down to this state by their family. Shouldn’t I seek revenge?"

Ling Chen shook his head and said, "Whatever feud your father had with Nanrong Yong, it was between the older generation. Wanqing knows nothing of these affairs, why trouble her?"

"The debt should be repaid by Nanrong Yong and his son Nanrong Yuan. Unfortunately, Nanrong Yuan has been missing for many years. As the daughter of Nanrong Yuan, with her father gone, the debt should be repaid by her." Having said that, Snake King let out a cold laugh and continued, "I’ve already been more than fair to their family. According to my plan, I intended to kill Nanrong Wanqing and Nanrong Yong, leaving Nanrong Hao with a chance at life. Nanrong Hao is a male descendent of the Nanrong family, as long as he lives, the Nanrong family’s line continues."

"Heh! By the sound of it, should I praise you for your mercy?" Ling Chen mocked.

Snake King replied coldly, "No matter what you say, I will not let my father die with his eyes closed." After saying that, he looked at Ling Chen and asked, "Do you even know what Nanrong Yong did to my father? If you don’t, you’re not qualified to judge me."

Ling Chen waved his hand and replied, "I’m not interested in the grudges of the older generation, it’s none of my business. Moreover, you’re right about one thing, I’m not qualified to judge your rights and wrongs. From your perspective, you may think you’ve done nothing wrong, but from where I stand, anyone who dares to harm a member of the Nanrong family is my enemy."

"Then why don’t you kill me now?"

"No! I have no intention of killing you," Ling Chen said. "No matter what you’ve been through, that doesn’t change the fact that you’re a part of the Nanrong family."

Snake King asked with an unpleasant expression, "What do you want to do?"

"I’ll take you back to East Sea City and let Nanrong Yong deal with you. The affairs of the Nanrong family should be settled by the Nanrong family themselves. I, an outsider, shouldn’t intervene."

"Good, I’d like to ask him face to face why he treated my father that way back then."

After leaving the warehouse, Ling Chen looked at the three people, Zhong Wei and the others, waiting outside, and spoke, "Captain Zhong, you two follow me back."

"What about the assassin inside? Should we call the police?"

Ling Chen pointed at Bai Huanjun and said, "He will handle it, no need for you to worry." With that said, Ling Chen turned to Bai Huanjun, smiled slightly, and said, "I owe you this time. Thanks!"

"No need to be polite, I’d never go back on a promise."

Ling Chen nodded and instructed, "Find a way to bring him back to East Sea City, lock him up somewhere for now, and we’ll discuss the rest when I’m back. Be careful on the way."

"Understood."
