Jiang Chuan said coldly, "As far as I know, you brothers have done plenty of bad shit. I bet even shooting you a hundred tis wouldn't be enough."
"So I might as well send you both to hell today—consider it payback for all the people you've bullied!"
Jiang Chuan raised his arm, grabbing the dagger Second Master Chen had used earlier.
Under Jiang Chuan's feet, Chen the Third was trembling all over with fear.
Seeing that even Second Master Chen couldn't help him now, Chen the Third hurriedly switched tactics and began begging Jiang Chuan for rcy.
"Mr. Jiang, I was wrong, please don't kill ! Please don't kill !"
"I know all my brother's secrets, I can tell you everything! I can even tell you where he keeps his fortune, just don't kill !"
"Third!"
Hearing this, Second Master Chen's beard shot up in rage—he almost wanted to slaughter Chen the Third himself.
Chen the Third kept repeating, "Brother, if you don't look out for yourself, the heavens and earth will destroy you. As long as Mr. Jiang spares us, let him have everything."
Second Master Chen's face turned deathly pale from anger, but eventually he had no choice but to sigh and said to Jiang Chuan, "Alright. If you let us go, all of my possessions are yours!"
That was an unexpected windfall.
Actually, Jiang Chuan hadn't planned on killing them in the first place.
After all, this was Yanbei, not the jungles of Africa.
"Alright, then show so sincerity."
Jiang Chuan lifted his foot, and Chen the Third finally crawled up from the ground.
Second Master Chen knew their luck had run out—he could only make a desperate compromise.
"All my assets are in that safe over there. Go get them. But you have to let us go first."
Second Master Chen pulled out a ring of keys and tossed them to Jiang Chuan, but he set a condition.
Jiang Chuan nodded in agreent and picked up the keys.
"Open the safe, and then you can leave."
Second Master Chen said nothing, got up, and limped away.
"Brother! Wait for !"
Chen the Third hurried after him.
Chen the Third knew that without Second Master Chen, he was nothing.
Since Jiang Chuan had spoken, Ouyang Jie—who'd been standing guard at the door—naturally let them pass.
But he wasn't too happy about it; he ca over and lowered his voice to ask Jiang Chuan, "Mr. Jiang, you're just gonna let them walk away?"
Jiang Chuan gave a slight, indifferent smile. "What else? Kill them? That'd be easy, but what good would it do ?"
Jiang Chuan didn't mind trouble, but he wouldn't ask for unnecessary trouble.
"Alright, let's see what today's haul looks like!"
Jiang Chuan, holding the keys, followed the Chen Brothers to the safe in the corner.
"Yeah, the Chen Brothers are greedy as hell—there's gotta be so good stuff! Looks like we're about to get rich today!"
Greed flickered across Ouyang Jie's face, which made Jiang Chuan a bit surprised.
Seriously, the Ouyang Clan is the top family in the Provincial Capital. As their main heir, how could Ouyang Jie lack cash?
But that had nothing to do with Jiang Chuan.
The Chen Brothers sure knew how to enjoy life—the presidential suite was right next to the hot springs, and it was their favorite place to co.
Inside the bedroom of the presidential suite, a safe was built into the wall.
The safe was so well hidden, covered by a painting.
If you didn't know about it, you'd never find it easily.
Second Master Chen walked over, inserted the key, turned it left three tis, and entered the password.
Soon, the first door of the safe swung open.
But then, there was a second door behind it.
Second Master Chen glanced up at Jiang Chuan, then kept moving.
He turned the key to the right three tis, then used his fingerprint.
Only then did the second door of the safe click gently open.
This safe had double protection—password and fingerprint—both needed to be entered correctly to unlock it.
Looks like Second Master Chen was extra cautious.
Obviously, that ant there had to be sothing valuable inside, otherwise he wouldn't be so careful.
