Chapter 72: Luring the Enemy Out?

Muer, tell me, when exactly does the boss plan for us to avenge our brothers? Harvey asked impatiently.

Muer was unsure when Ye Chen would order retribution. For now, their directive was to wait.

The boss hasnt said yet, Harvey. Just hold on a bit longer.

I cant wait any longer, Harvey bursted out, his temper flaring. These days, theyve been living under constant suppression, hiding at Ye Chens behest, a far cry from their usual freedom.

Muer, find out from the boss who killed our brothers, then well make our move, says Byles, looking earnestly at Muer.

If we ask the boss, hell likely guess our intentions and wont tell us, saidVincent, munching on a chicken leg.

Muer felt helpless watching his three comrades. He knew they all crave vengeance, but Ye Chens command was to wait.

Muer, maybe we should take matters into our own hands, suggested Vincent seriously.ReAd latest chapters at novelhall.com Only

Have you found out who the killer is? Muer asked, with Harvey and Byers focusing intently on Vincent.

No idea. Probably only the boss knows. But we can draw them out. Youve noticed, right? Someone in Magic City is searching for us. They must be connected to the killer.

We can expose ourselves to lure them out. As they say in Xia country, lure the snake out of its hole, Vincent revealed his plan.

Actually, I have a suspect in mind, and thats the person the boss warned us to be cautious of, said Vincent as he took out three photos. These photos were of Chen Luo, Chun Mei, and Xia Lan.

Alright, lets go with Vincents plan. Well lure them out and then eliminate them, Harvey immediately agreed with Vincents plan, eager to take action rather than continue hiding.

Muer fell silent. He too yearned for revenge, but he was reluctant to disobey Ye Chens orders.

If you dont want to join us, thats fine. Just dont snitch to the boss, Byers said directly to Muer, indicating that the three of them were in agreement with the plan, leaving only Muers decision pending.

Our brothers shouldnt have died in vain. Im with you, Muer finally said.

The bond forged through life and death with his brothers wasnt something he could ignore.

The moment Chen Luo entered, the atmosphere seemed to chill, the temperature dropping several degrees as Xiao Qingxue regarded him coldly.

What are you doing here? came Ye Chens voice, his fists clenched as he glared at Chen Luo like a wolf eyeing its prey.

Im here to discuss business with Miss Xiao, Chen Luo replied with a smile, unaffected by the tense atmosphere, and sat down in front of Xiao Qingxue.

Miss Xiao, I wonder if our cooperation is still ongoing?

Since Xiao Qingxues abduction, the partnership involving the scar removal cream had temporarily halted, and Chen Luo surmised they must be running low on stock by now.

Xiao Qingxue handed a signed approval contract to her assistant, Xiao Li, then lifted her head to meet Chen Luos eyes with a stern gaze.

Of course, we will continue. I hope Mr. Chen will keep supplying us according to the contract, she said.

No problem. Miss Xiao, I hope you dont mind if I stay here a bit longer? Chen Luo knew that as long as he stayed, Ye Chen wouldnt leave.

He suspected Ye Chen was worried that something might happen to Xiao Qingxue if he left, so as long as Chen Luo remained, Ye Chen would have to stay and keep watch.

Xiao Qingxue, with a cold expression, replied, I dont welcome you here.

Hearing this, Ye Chen, with a glare that seemed almost murderous, fixated on Chen Luo. Did you hear that? Now get out.

But we are business partners after all, lets not be so heartless, retorted Chen Luo, undeterred and thick-skinned. He even made himself a cup of coffee and stayed put.

Xiao Qingxue gave Chen Luo a cold glance but did not persist in asking him to leave.

What is he really up to?

Ye Chen frowned deeply, looking at Chen Luo. His intuition told him that Chen Luos visit was not as straightforward as discussing continued cooperation. He had a premonition that something was about to happen.

Not only Ye Chen, but Xiao Qingxue also felt that Chen Luos visit was not solely about business. As both Xiao Qingxue and Ye Chen kept their eyes on him, Chen Luo appeared relaxed, sipping his coffee.

If you keep looking at me like that, Miss Xiao, I might start to think youre interested in me, Chen Luo said with a light smile.

Xiao Qingxue snorted coldly and decided to ignore Chen Luo completely, finding his mere presence irritating.
