Chapter 227 Live for Two More Days

Cheng Yuxuan squinted slightly at the chubby man's smiling face and said nonchalantly, "Do you think I'm really someone who accomplishes big things?"

"Of course you can!" The chubby man's smile grew even brighter, his face tinged with a barely perceptible sneer. He looked like a seasoned con artist trying to deceive a naive fool.

Cheng Yuxuan's eyes widened, and he smirked, "I think I can accomplish big things too… However, I need to borrow something from you." The chubby man was taken aback. "Borrow something from me? What big thing are you planning that you need to borrow from me? I'm just a mechanic, haha…"

Cheng Yuxuan slowly lit a cigarette. "Are you sure you're just a mechanic? I'd say you seem more like a gangster."

The chubby man's brows furrowed as he glared at Cheng Yuxuan. "What do you mean by that? You're trying to renege on the payment or start a fight with me, right? Do you know who our boss is?!"

If he knew that the person in front of him had just wiped out the entire Cheng family two days ago, he might have had the courage to say that?

Cheng Yuxuan raised an eyebrow. "Who?"

The chubby man looked Cheng Yuxuan up and down and sneered, "You look like you have some money at home, right? Haha… I'll tell you, in today's world, money isn't everything; you need connections! Hmph, if you don't want to leave here with a grudge, you better pay up! Don't think about reporting, complaining, or calling the police. It's useless!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Cheng Yuxuan slapped him hard. The chubby man, weighing over 200 pounds, was knocked to the ground, his face hitting the dirt. His head seemed to have a few birds fluttering around, and he felt dizzy with flashes of black and white.

Not expecting someone to dare to attack him here, the chubby man was stunned for a moment before reacting, getting up to fight back, but was met with a hard kick to the face from Cheng Yuxuan. His nasal bone was broken, and a front tooth flew out of his mouth as he rolled on the ground, covered in blood.

"D*mn it!" The chubby man roared in pain, but no one came to help. He shouted at the "sleeping" thin man under the eaves, "Are you still sleeping?! Get up and help! D*mn it! Are you deaf? Like a dead man! Go call someone!"

But he realized with horror that his good buddy was really dead.

"Who's your boss?" Cheng Yuxuan asked slowly, stepping closer and looking down at him. The chubby man, looking up with fear, stammered, "He… He Baobao!"

"Oh? So you're Fat Baobao?" Cheng Yuxuan laughed, crouched down, and extinguished his cigarette on the chubby man's face. Amid the chubby man's screams, he sneered, "Tell me, what's his background?"

At this moment, Old Four calmly walked over and stood beside Cheng Yuxuan.

"Did you kill them all?" Cheng Yuxuan asked deliberately.

Old Four nodded. "Yes, they're all dead."

The chubby man twitched all over, nearly fainting from fear.

Cheng Yuxuan smiled. "Good boy, answer the questions."

The chubby man breathed heavily, took a while to recover, and then spilled all he knew about his boss. "He, his cousin is a big leader in Road Z. He's been around for a lifetime, with extensive connections. Anyway, I didn't know before, but in the two years I've been here, not only those who drive big cars but even people like you wealthy ones have been swindled a lot… In short, no matter how much they report us, we'll be fine. If someone causes trouble, we can frame them for disturbing the peace…"

"Mr. He is also involved in organized crime. Don't look at tonight with just the five of us; during the day, there were many people here, a smoky mess. I'm just a lackey... Actually, we are all ex-convicts. I originally wanted to live a decent life, but the high salary lured me here. However, after coming here, I found the salary was pitifully low, and the money all went into the boss's pocket. When I wanted to leave, he threatened me."

"No wonder you all are so arrogant!" Cheng Yuxuan said, "Where is he?"

The chubby man swallowed, trembling as he pointed to a steel cabin in the distance. "He usually stays there when he's drunk; otherwise, he'll argue with his wife when he gets home."

As soon as he finished speaking, Old Four started heading towards the steel cabin. Cheng Yuxuan stopped him and, after thinking for a moment, asked the chubby man, "Are you sure he's involved in organized crime?"

The chubby man nodded vigorously, his face full of distress. "He's definitely involved in organized crime! Not only does he do this, but he also lends money at high interest rates, and he's reportedly responsible for several deaths… I've endured many beatings from him! When he loses his temper, he even hits his own mother. The only person he's afraid of is his wife... To be honest, we were even planning to break into his safe and run away. This He guy is so inhumane; he treats us like dogs!"

As he spoke, he lifted his shirt, revealing bruises on his back. "Look, this is from him beating me up when he was drunk tonight."

Cheng Yuxuan stroked his chin, thought for a moment, and then grinned, "Can you crack a safe?"

The chubby man stared blankly at Cheng Yuxuan for a moment and then nodded, "I can. I ended up in prison before for stealing things…"

"Good, then I'll borrow some courage from you to crack his safe." Cheng Yuxuan smiled, pausing, and then looked at Old Four. "Handle the bodies and clean up."

Old Four looked puzzled, wondering why Cheng Yuxuan wasn't moving against Mr. He tonight. However, he knew Cheng Yuxuan's nature and, despite the urgency for manpower, would not use Mr. He's crew. He just didn't understand the purpose of keeping them around.

The chubby man, trembling, thought Cheng Yuxuan wasn't short of money. Mr. He would check the accounts every weekend and take the money home. The safe probably only held tens of thousands, so why would he care?

But he didn't dare to ask more, trembling as he stood up and led Cheng Yuxuan to Mr. He's steel cabin. "I'll cooperate fully. Please, you have to spare me!"

Cheng Yuxuan replied, "I'm not a madman. Don't worry; just be obedient."

Old Four glanced around and saw a small excavator. He got the idea and drove it to dig a pit in the nearby wasteland.

After taking the money, just as the chubby man was about to close the safe, Cheng Yuxuan stopped him and deliberately made the room look like it had been robbed. He then entered the suite, looked at the snoring Mr. He with a smirk, and muttered, "I'll let you live for two more days."
