Chapter 1529: Chapter 1530: Thank You for Helping Me Find the Treasure!

“You’re quite devious, kid, but isn’t that a bit too risky? We could just hand over the stuff to the Hades Association and have them deal with the Xinmeng Group for us.”

Luo Shanhu said.

“Are you sure they’ll do that once they get what they want?”

Liu Yuan said, “The people of the Hades Association are unimaginably ruthless.”

“I’m sure, even the Hades Association has to follow some rules. Otherwise, who would cooperate with them or do business with them in the future?”

Luo Shanhu said.

“Alright, then. Let’s do as you say, boss, but I can’t wait any longer. I can’t wait to see the Xinmeng Group fall. After they’re done for, we can deal with those workers.”

Liu Yuan sneered.

“Patience, as soon as I make a call, Shi Fei will be here in no time. This thing seems very important to them.”

Luo Shanhu said, “Let’s eat first.”

In the hotel.

Jiang Meng looked at Xiao Chen in confusion and said, “Honey, why did you agree to their deal? Jing Mountain Quarry is the first quarry we reclaimed. It’s significant.”

Although she was puzzled, she didn’t stop Xiao Chen because she trusted him, knowing he has other ideas and wouldn’t harm the Xinmeng Group.

“They can’t take Jing Mountain Quarry.”

Xiao Chen said, “Besides, they don’t really want the quarry. They just want certain things.”

“What things?”

Jiang Meng asked in confusion.

“Something related to the Mo Family. You might not be interested, but for martial artists, it’s a treasure. I wasn’t sure where it was, but the range seems to have narrowed down.”

Xiao Chen smiled and said, “Don’t worry, honey. Jing Mountain Quarry is still under renovation, so it won’t be affected much. By the day after tomorrow, the quarry will still be ours, and the Xinmeng Group will become a wholly-owned stone company.”

“Alright, I got it.”

Jiang Meng nodded, “Okay, I’m going to take care of my own business. I promised to help Stone City improve its basic infrastructure. The quarry is just a small part, so I’ll leave it to you, the assistant.”

Smiling, Jiang Meng left and went to work with Ren Jing.

On the other side, after the meal, Luo Shanhu called Shi Fei, “Brother Shi, the item has been found. When can you come over? The sooner, the better, lest others start eyeing it. We’ve worked hard for it.”

“Who dares to compete with us for this thing?”

On the phone, Shi Fei’s voice was extremely cold.

“The Jiangnan Xiao Family.”

Luo Shanhu said.

“Them!”

Others might not know the power of the Jiangnan Xiao Family, but people from the Hades Association do.

It was the Jiangnan Xiao Family that almost ruined the Hades Association’s plans in the Capital City and caused the deaths of their two deputy leaders.

This Jiangnan Xiao Family is not to be trifled with.

“Alright, wait for me. I’m coming over right away.”

The vice president position in the Hades Association is currently vacant, and many people have their eyes on it, including Shi Fei.

He wants that position too.

“I’ve heard it’s the puppet patriarch of the Xiao Family. If I can take him out, that should be a significant achievement.”

Shi Fei’s original goal was just the blade skills manual, but now he has an additional target—to take out Xiao Chen.

An hour later, Xiao Chen received a call. Luo Shanhu and Liu Yuan, with a group of people, arrived at Jing Mountain Quarry.

“Hmm, let Liu Haiying bring the Stone God Family over. The Stone God Family rules Stone City, and they must oversee whatever happens here. I’ll be coming, too.”

Xiao Chen sneered, not expecting the item he was looking for to appear so soon.

He handed over Jing Mountain Quarry to Luo Shanhu just to lure the snake out of its hole.

Now that the snake has come out.

Things will be easier.

“Everyone stop—we’re from the Mining Association and the Stone God Family. Who allowed you to dig here recklessly?”

Just as Luo Shanhu’s men were pretending to excavate the treasure.

Liu Haiyang and Chen Ziran arrived.

Luo Shanhu looked visibly displeased.

He didn’t expect Xiao Chen to use this tactic.

Using the Mining Association to suppress them.

It really was effective.

This place was supposed to be undergoing a safety upgrade, and now they’ve damaged the safety facilities by excavating a tomb, which is a big issue.

“Chairman Chen, there’s no need for conflict over such a small matter, is there? We’ve known each other for a long time.”

Luo Shanhu smiled and said.

“Don’t try to get chummy with me. Safety is crucial for the market, and it’s an order from the Mining Association. What you’re doing is deliberately violating the rules. I now order you to stop.”

Chen Ziran sternly demanded.

“Luo Shanhu, your days of running rampant in Stone City are over. Now, the Stone God Family is the workers’ support. If you mess around, we won’t let you off.”

Liu Haiying also said.

At this moment, Xiao Chen also appeared, “Boss Luo, what you’re doing isn’t right. I thought you wanted the quarry because you were sincerely trying to change. Who knew you would pull such a stunt? It really is disappointing.”

“Xiao Chen, stop your nonsense. Let me tell you, what I said yesterday was just to get this quarry. No, not just this quarry—all the quarries and stone companies, over a hundred of them, are mine—Luo Shanhu’s. You, the Xinmeng Group, won’t get any of it.”

Three masked men stood beside him, and Luo Shanhu seemed emboldened, fearing nothing.

Acting all high and mighty.

He looked back at the masked man in the lead and said, “Brother Shi, the item is right below. I’ll have someone bring it to you right away. Though some people might not see it, I hope Brother Shi can help block them so they don’t ruin your good plans.”

Shi Fei turned his head to look at Xiao Chen and suddenly spoke, “You’re the head of the Xiao Family, Xiao Chen?”

“Exactly!”

Xiao Chen nodded, “Are you with the Hades Association? Thanks for helping me find what I need. Now you can leave.”

Shi Fei was momentarily stunned.

Such arrogance, knowing they are from the Hades Association and still daring to speak like that—he must be very confident in his skills.

Luo Shanhu was unaware of this.

He didn’t know Xiao Chen was behind what happened in the north.

Nor did he know Xiao Chen had caused significant losses to the Hades Association.

In his view, although Xiao Chen had some strength, it wasn’t much greater than his and was far inferior to the people of the Hades Association.

Why should he be afraid?

“Brothers, go down and bring the item up.”

Luo Shanhu waved, and a few people quickly entered the pit.

Then, Luo Shanhu looked at Xiao Chen and said, “Kid, now that Brother Shi is here, this Stone City has nothing to do with you. Obey Brother Shi’s demands, and you might keep your life. Otherwise, not only will you die, but your delicate wife might also get violated.”
