Ace of the Dragon Division Chapter 128 - Someone Wants to Fish in Troubled Water

Chapter 128: Someone Wants to Fish in Troubled Water (Part one)

At home, Lin Chuxue struggled for a whole day and finally said to Mommy and Daddy Lin, “Mom, Dad, I’ve made up my mind.”

“That’s good, we shouldn’t stay in Huaxia for too long too and you have to go back sooner or later. If you made up your mind, then let’s book the flights home.” Then, Lin Guiren said to his son Lin Lei, “Book 4 flight tickets tomorrow night. It will be easier to get over jet lag if we fly at that time.”

Lin Chuxue looked up to her father and faintly said, “No need to book 4 tickets, I’m not going back.”

The Lin couple was shocked and they both looked at her. “You are staying?”

Lin Chuxue nodded. “Yep.”

Lin Guiren: “But I told you that staying is too-”

“Dad, I’m not staying for him,” Lin Chuxue looked at Lin Guiren and said, “I still have my career here. If I leave like this, then it wouldn’t be fair for my fans, and the entertainment company you invested in would lose most of its revenue source. You might lose money in this investment then.”

Lin Guiren: “I don’t care about that little money.”

Lin Chuxue: “I know, but I also don’t want to be the reason you lose money. I will have to think of something to do if I get back, so I might as well keep working hard at the entertainment company I’m in right now. I also made my name known to millions of fans after three years of hard work, so I shouldn’t just let all of this go to waste. I want to be able to make my own dowry, and not have to rely on my family.”

The entire Lin Family looked at Lin Chuxue quietly. After quite a while, Lin Guiren asked, “Are you sure you are not staying behind for Xu Cheng?”

“No, just like what you said, Dad. If my relations.h.i.+p with him would get anywhere, something would’ve happened already. When the time comes for him to fall for someone else, then we will talk about divorce.” Lin Chuxue sighed.

Lin Guiren: “If that’s the case, then let Lei stay and take care of you.”

Lin Chuxue paused for a moment, and then she immediately rejected his proposal. “No.”

Lin Lei bitterly smiled. “Sis, you don’t have to decline that fast.”

“You think I still don’t know your temper? You are just going to chill all day, and who knows how many girls in the entertainment industry will fall prey to you?” Lin Chuxue glared at her little brother.

“Sis, are we blood related? Why you gotta do me like this,” Lin Lei pouted.

“You think I still don’t know you? What, you got tired of playing in Britain so you want to come to Huaxia now?” Lin Chuxue snorted. This little brother of hers was a big player, completely the opposite of his quiet sister. Back in Britain, he would always get into trouble and have his dad clean up after him.

Lin Guiren: “I know what Huaxia’s entertainment industry is like, and that’s why I will feel more a.s.sured with Lin Lei staying here.”

Lin Lei nodded. “Sis, I know we don’t have as much influence in Huaxia, so I definitely know not to cause trouble. Also, Dad won’t be supporting me anymore financially, so I wouldn’t be able to act like a spoiled rich heir anymore. But if I can rely on my handsome looks and become someone’s sugar baby, then you can’t blame me when that happens.”

Lin Chuxue directly grabbed him by the ear. “So, you are going to sound so righteous while talking about becoming someone’s sugar baby when you are a grown-azz man?”

“Ouch, Sis, stop,” Lin Lei immediately begged, “You are an elegant princess to the ma.s.ses, so you should pay attention to your image.”

“How can I teach you a lesson if I pay attention to my image?” Lin Chuxue rolled her eyes. “I just have to be straightforwardly brutal to deal with you.”

“I feel bad for my brother-in-law, having a crush on you since childhood. You turned out to be a devil,” Lin Lei exclaimed.

“You are still talking?” Lin Chuxue applied more force with her hand.

“Ahh, I’ll stop, I’ll stop!” Lin Lie immediately begged, “I promise, I won’t say to the public that I’m your little brother and I won’t cause any trouble.”

“Okay, remember what you said. If you cause trouble for me, then go back to Britain right away.” Lin Chuxue turned to her parents and snorted, a bit displeased, “You two are now pretty freed up. Did you just come here this time to drop this troublemaker off with me?”

Lin Guiren coughed, picked up the newspaper, crossed his legs, and pretended to not hear the question.

Lin Chuxue rolled her eyes to express how speechless she was.

At night, Chang Qing made a call with a new number.

“h.e.l.lo?”

“It’s me, Chang Qing.”

On the other end of the call, the guy’s eyes lit up. “Where are you?”

“Old Chen, help me out,” Chang Qing pleaded, “Help me get through this difficult period, and I will thank you big time in the future.”

“How do I help? Now, those from South Asia are asking about your whereabouts everywhere. Mr. Hetian was furious enough to eat you. East Gate doesn’t have the capabilities to help you.”

Chang Qing deepened his voice. “Yes, you can. Your East Gate controls the largest port trade in Shangcheng and has the strongest foundation among the four gangs because everyone’s business needs to involve you. So, you have the influence. Please help a brother out. North Gate’s down, and now West Gate’s almost done too. We are the legendary four Gates, you can’t just watch us die.”

“Big Brother Chang, you also know that the underground world’s influence is weakening, and the right path is to immediately wash ourselves clean and get into legal businesses. The city officials all hope that the four Gates can disappear, despite how hard we are trying not to break the law. Your West Gate just got into trouble, and at this time, I think the most important thing for South Gate and us East Gate to do is not to get ourselves involved in this. Can you understand?”

“But you know very well that in the beginning, the operation to a.s.sa.s.sinate Xu Cheng was a solution planned together by the three Gates. Now that this tiger has bitten a huge chunk of meat off of West Gate and we are dying, can you really just stand by and watch it happen? Do you think that with Xu Cheng’s temper, after erasing North and West Gate, they will leave you two alone?”

“Why not? There’s no eternal enemy in this world, only when the benefits are not enough. If there’s something to blame, then you can only blame it on your West Gate dealing in shady business these years, doing all of that money-laundering.”

Chang Qing snorted, “Don’t just bash us, are you implying that your East Gate didn’t take advantage of your control over the port to smuggle? We all do shady business, or I wouldn’t have asked you for help.”

The other end of the line paused for a moment, and then he asked, “You haven’t told me, where are you?”

Chang Qing: “If possible, I can come to you.”

“No, you think the police don’t have eyes on you? Right now I can’t possibly meet up with you. How about this. Give me your address, and I will get my guy to pick you up. He will find a way to get you out of the police’s sight, and then we can talk.”

Chang Qing: “That works too, get your guy to come.”

After hanging up, in a villa, Old Chen smiled as he put down his phone. Then, he said to his bodyguard, “Get someone with a clean background over. Remember, you must get Chang Qing to sign, and then he must die!”

The bodyguard standing behind him nodded respectfully and left.

After Xu Cheng left the bar, he got Li Chao’s call. He nervously said, “Boss, Chang Qing’s lawyer got killed at his place, and all the a.s.set doc.u.ments under Chang Qing’s name, which were in the lawyer’s hands, were taken.”

Xu Cheng: “Someone wants to fish in the troubled waters. Where’s Chang Qing right now?”

“Four Seasons Hotel. He used his lawyer’s ID and opened that room, so no one knows it’s him.”

Xu Cheng directly drove his own car to the Four Seasons Hotel.
