Jiang Ning was smiling but it wasn't a relaxed smile and it most certainly wasn't one with good intentions.
To Lin Yuzhen, he looked more like an unscrupulous businessman.
When did Jiang Ning become an unscrupulous businessman?
"You want to use this small thing to return the favor you owed back then? I don't think that's fair."
"Mr Jiang," said Chen Huangtang. "Given your status now, you really don't have to extort me, do you?"
His mouth twitched a little as he recalled how he met Jiang Ning overseas back then.
At that time, he was almost going mad with fury.
In order to make himself more powerful, he went around finding people to kill, and he was already known as the Crazy Grim Reaper in Las Vegas.
When he met Jiang Ning, he was beaten to the floor eight times in a row by Jiang Ning, and Chen Huangtang almost broke down.
He never imagined that he would be defeated by such a young man.
But then he felt so ashamed that he wanted to commit suicide, Jiang Ning slapped him awake.
It was just to make him wake up, but also to motivate him to improve his boxing technique.
He was grateful to Jiang Ning for that slap until today.
And he had finally returned that favor of slapping him today.
"I just want to take revenge," said Chen Huangtang.
"Of course I know that." Jiang Ning poured a cup of tea for him. "After so many years, you've killed everyone whom you're supposed to, but the mastermind behind all this is still alive, so it's really hard on you too."
Chen Huangtang didn't say anything.
"You've investigated the matter thoroughly right? I didn't lie to you, right?"
Chen Huangtang remained silent.
"By letting you come back here, I think someone is hoping you'd die."
Jiang Ning sighed.
It was the same case for Xiang Gao and anybody else working for Bao Rongdong. Even an advanced grandmaster like himself would meet the same fate!
Jiang Ning remained expressionless as he looked at the threatening and aggressive looking Chen Huangtang. Lin Yuzhen was a little frightened, but more than that, she could sense the pain and sadness in Chen Huangtang's heart.
Even though he hadn't said anything, she could feel the anger and despair in this man.
"I've drunk the tea and I've returned the favor. I'll return the rest once I come out alive."
Chen Huangtang then stood up and left.
After taking a few steps out, he turned to look at Lin Yuzhen with a conflicted look in his eyes. He felt that for a brief moment, he could see her in Lin Yuzhen.
"Protect your woman well, don't be useless like me."
Chen Huangtang then vanished without a trace.
Jiang Ning continued to sit in a relaxed manner. His expression was calm but his heart was determined.
Of course he was going to protect Lin Yuzhen well. He was going to use all the strength he had to do that. Even if he had to fight the rest of the world, he would never allow anyone to harm Lin Yuzhen.
