Chapter 1343: The Mantis Stalks the Cicada
Lin Chen didn't expect this guy to start playing Tai Chi with him and this fatty pretended to be the grandson after talking for ages.
If it were an ordinary person, they would definitely be deceived by the fatty, but Lin Chen is skilled in the Mind Reading Technique, so how could he not know what the fatty is thinking?
Lin Chen intentionally pretended to be furious after being played and stood up coldly, "I thought Tang Chao was somebody, turns out he's just a coward, probably scared by the Chinese police."
However, the fatty wasn't angry and smiled faintly, finally issuing a direct order to leave: "I told you I don't know anyone named Tang Chao and have no idea what you're talking about. If there's nothing else, then goodbye."
Lin Chen pretended to be trembling with rage.
Watching Lin Chen's expression, the fatty leisurely puffed out a smoke ring.
The fatty loved to toy with people in the palm of his hand; it gave him immense pleasure.
But that's exactly the feeling Lin Chen wanted. Only when the fatty thought he was smart and believed he could control everything, would he lower his guard, giving Lin Chen a chance to find a breakthrough.
Lin Chen suppressed his anger and nodded, finally saying, "If you don't want to make money, there are plenty of people who do, and there are many channels, not just yours. We'll see."
Saying that, Lin Chen didn't tangle with the fatty any longer, he stood up and turned towards the exit.
Watching Lin Chen's back, the fatty broke into a sinister smile, taking out a cigar and clamping it in his mouth.
The fatty was suddenly delighted, for in the past, there may have been many channels on this route, but ever since Tang Chao came, there's only one, the others are dead ends.
Moreover, the fatty had no intention of letting Lin Chen leave.
Seeing Lin Chen leave, Xin Xiaoqi hurriedly chased after him: "The boss drank with you for half the night and you haven't paid yet."
"Give you nothing!" Lin Chen pretended to be extremely furious and stormed out of the bar.
At this time, the fatty walked over to that bartender and asked for a glass of red wine, then whispered a few words.
The bartender girl nodded, picked up her phone, and made a call with a hint of coldness in her voice: "Someone drank and left without paying, don't let him leave this alley."
Xin Xiaoqi sat on the sofa, observing all this.
Clearly, this bar was also their base, and the bartender girl was their contact, and the meaning of that secret message was very clear—don't let Lin Chen go.
Thus, the outline of this base became clear, this bartender girl was Tang Chao's person, so just keeping an eye on her and tracking her calls would certainly yield many valuable clues.
At this moment, Lin Chen had already left the bar, striding boldly towards the outside.
Just as he walked out a little distance, he saw a lot of people appearing at the alley entrance, and looking back, there were also many people behind him.
These people all had fierce looks, obviously coming for him.
Lin Chen broke into a cold smile, this fatty was indeed clever.
Lin Chen could tell at a glance that these people were local thugs, they didn't have much combat power.
Yet surrounding them were hidden guys with powerful auras, those were the real kill moves.
This fatty was very insidious, obviously suspicious of Lin Chen from the start.
Although he was not sure if Lin Chen was truly one of Eight's men, his creed was rather wrongfully kill a thousand than let one go.
Even if Lin Chen died violently in the street, it would just be another brawl case.
However, what puzzled Lin Chen was that these thugs' power was very average, clearly not Tang Chao's men, which led him to another judgment, Tang Chao evidently had some relationship with some big figure in the local underground forces, at least some interest relationship, otherwise he couldn't mobilize his subordinates.
Lin Chen's move to stir the snake out of the grass really yielded quite a harvest.
Now it was already early morning, few people on the streets, and the surrounding atmosphere seemed a bit stifling.
These thugs were about twenty to thirty in number, arranged in a fan shape, hemming Lin Chen in the middle.
The entire alley was silent, only the sound of rustling footsteps could be heard.
The steps of these people were getting faster and faster, finally turning into a jog.
Anna sat in the car, watching this scene, and smiled slightly.
Twenty to thirty thugs were simply a piece of cake for Lin Chen.
But just as she was preparing to watch Lin Chen's solo showdown with the thugs, a shadow emerged sneakily from the bar.
Seeing that plump body, Anna immediately knew it was the fatty.
Anna couldn't help but admire Lin Chen's divine foresight; almost everything he predicted came true.
Lin Chen's plan was to provoke the fatty, then have him make a move against himself, and this fatty would definitely escape amidst the chaos.
Because the fatty thought he himself tricked Lin Chen, he'd lower his guard and wouldn't expect anyone to follow him.
This was Lin Chen's entire plan to stir the snake out of the grass.
Anna got out of the car, and her figure instantly disappeared into the night.
Ever since Anna's body mutation, her senses had greatly improved in all aspects, making the night her domain; she followed the fatty, not letting him escape.
At this moment, Lin Chen looked at the approaching thugs without a hint of panic.
Actually, dozens of Dragon Squad warriors were ambushed around, but their target wasn't the thugs, rather the hidden Tang Chao underlings—the masters.
Lin Chen sat on a stone, smiling as he watched the thugs charging from both sides.
Seeing Lin Chen's expression, those thugs felt something off.
In this situation, shouldn't Lin Chen be panicking, or trying to escape?
But now the arrow was already on the string, they had no choice but to fire.
At this moment, the leader, a bald guy, shouted angrily, "Kill!"
The thugs on both sides instantly charged at Lin Chen with an aggressive momentum.
Clearly, these thugs didn't take him seriously at all; they didn't even use weapons.
In their eyes, beating up a young lad with over twenty men was child's play.
Then, Lin Chen suddenly stomped forcefully.
Instantly, the asphalt underfoot shattered.
At this moment, the thugs were only about ten meters away from Lin Chen.
Lin Chen kicked fiercely: "Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!"
Asphalt fragments shot towards those thugs like bullets.
"Bang, bang, bang!"
The thugs at the front instantly got hit and fell to the ground.
While the thugs behind couldn't dodge and stumbled like they were eating dirt.
"Not good, there's an ambush, the opponent has guns." A thug shouted while covering the injury on his head.
"Gun my foot, it's this kid kicking stones." The leading thug shouted.
Suddenly, a blur rushed into their midst.
That pitiful group of thugs didn't react before feeling their legs and feet shattered by a force, falling to the ground.
In less than ten seconds, those thugs who had just been menacing were all over the place.
At this point, those hidden Tang Chao masters couldn't take it anymore, they all pulled out weapons ready to act.
But they didn't expect that just as the mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind, as soon as they emerged, they were already locked on.
