Chapter 409: Wolf Meets Wolf
Chapter 409: Wolf Meets Wolf
Whale Harbour Senior Wellness Center.
In the bright summer sun, everything seems particularly full of vitality.
Just after lunch, the number of people in the leisure square was more than twice as usual. Caregivers were pushing wheelchairs or supporting the elderly as they walked and chatted on the grass.
In front of a cluster of hydrangeas, a thin old lady was staring at the purple-blue petals in a trance.
The old lady's hair was silver-white, and her face was covered with wrinkles and scars of varying sizes. The scars were old injuries, and the unevenness and wrinkles were carved into the old woman's face.
"Old sister, look at the flowers~"
A group of old ladies and old men passed by and greeted the old man with a smile.
Xia Suxin had poor eyesight, and when she heard the sound she looked around before she found the person.
She smiled and agreed, "Yes, Xiao Chen said that my eyesight is not good, so I should look at more flowers and plants when I have nothing to do."
"Hey, Xiao Chen is here again? You are so lucky, old sister. Your grandson is so handsome and filial."
"Sister, you must be so envious of me. Xiao Chen is studying at Jinggang Medical University, right? That's incredible! The first time I saw him, I knew he had great potential."
"Old sister, where is Xiao Chen?"
Xia Suxin was a gentle person. After everyone finished talking, she smiled and replied, "He was worried that I was thirsty, so he went to get me some water."
After hearing this, everyone's eyes were filled with envy.
At their age, they don’t want anything else but their children to be filial to them.
Xia Suxin's grandson is well-known throughout the nursing home for his filial piety. Whenever he is free, he will come to visit Xia Suxin and take care of everything personally.
After chatting for a while, everyone continued their walk. Xia Suxin continued to look at the hydrangeas with a smile on her face.
In the hallway, Xia Xingchen was about to go down the stairs with freshly poured hot water in his hand when two dark shadows suddenly appeared in front of him, blocking his way.
He lowered his head and stepped aside, but the other party still refused to give in.
Xia Xingchen looked up and the other party punched him directly.

The afterglow of summer passed through the white gauze window and turned into tiny golden dots. Zhou Yanheng sat in the rocking chair under the window with his eyes half closed. The tiny golden dots fell on the tip of his handsome nose. One might have thought he was some rich young master taking a break.
More than twenty strong men were standing in a 40-square-meter room. In the corner, the sound of fists and kicks hitting flesh was heard. Xia Xingchen protected his head tightly, gritted his teeth and said nothing.
This kind of greeting lasted for about ten minutes, until Zhou Yanheng raised his hand and moved his fingertips, and the strong men who were beating him immediately stopped, folded their hands and retreated to both sides.
Zhou Yanheng sat up and looked at the stray dog on the ground with a slight smile.
Xia Xingchen gasped a few times, holding his chest and slowly crawling up.
"Master Zhou's way of greeting is really special."
"Very courageous."
Zhou Yanheng had foreseen this and took out the information he had prepared in advance, reading it out word for word. "Xia Xingchen, nineteen years old, graduated from Jinggang Yucai Middle School and was admitted to Jinggang Medical University with a score in the top eight nationwide. Due to his excellent academic performance, he was given an exception and entered the Shen family's specialized experimental facility group."
Xia Xingchen straightened his crooked glasses and asked, "What else did Master Zhou find out?"
Zhou Yanheng casually threw the information in front of him. "He's an orphan. He's lived with his grandmother, a scrap collector, since he was a child. At the age of fourteen, he was sentenced to twenty years in prison for accidental murder. A year later, the case was overturned and he was acquitted."
Xia Xingchen smiled, his eyes cold, "This file is not accessible to ordinary people. Master Zhou is very resourceful."
Zhou Yanheng stood up and walked slowly towards him. "Are you the Shen family's secret agent?"
Xia Xingchen, "Master Zhou is so smart, didn't he guess it all?"
Zhou Yanheng sneered, raised his eyes and winked at the burly man beside him.
The man understood, put on his fist ring, lifted Xia Xingchen's collar, and punched him hard in the abdomen.
Xia Xingchen's pupils suddenly contracted, and he fell down with a muffled groan.
"Don't provoke my temper. Your worthless life is not enough for me to play with."
Xia Xingchen covered his lower abdomen and nodded with difficulty, "Yes."
Zhou Yanheng said, "You clearly have irrefutable evidence of murder and body disposal, yet you're still defending yourself as innocent? It seems the other party is quite powerful. This hospital costs no less than 600,000 yuan a year. Where would a student like you get the money?"
Xia Xingchen coughed softly and said, "Part-time job."
A hint of interest flashed across Zhou Yanheng's eyes. "Fighting underworld boxing? Or murder and robbery?"
Even his underground gang members who were involved in the black boxing were found out, and it seems that he has bad intentions.
Xia Xingchen took off his glasses and looked up at Zhou Yanheng, "What exactly does Master Zhou want to ask?"
Zhou Yanheng got straight to the point, "Who's the boss behind you?"
Xia Xingchen frowned slightly, thought for a moment, and shook his head, "I can't tell you."
Zhou Yanheng, "It seems you are not afraid of death." After saying that, he was about to leave.
"Master Zhou!" Xia Xingchen called out to him, "I didn't say I would die today, but even if I did, I would still die. My worthless life is not worth dying for, but if it means a good future, I want to live well even if it means a miserable death. Please, Master Zhou, give me a chance."
Zhou Yanheng paused slightly and looked back at Xia Xingchen with the corner of his eyes, "You're asking me about my future?"
"Yes."
Zhou Yanheng's expression was dull. "What makes you think I'm willing to give you a future?"
Xia Xing fell into a brief silence.
On the day of the heavy rain in the villa, Zhou Yanheng had already known that someone had sneaked into the villa, but not only did he not warn the villa, but he had no sense of boundaries and cooperated with the pirates. This madness shows that he is a person with no moral bottom line at all. Only such a person would accept him because he is interesting.
The thing that those in power fear most is being suspected by others, so although Xia Xingchen is somewhat sure, he dare not tell the truth.
He pondered for a moment, then evaded the main point, "Master Zhou, taming an animal requires a training process. If you want me to betray my master, you should at least let me eat a piece of meat first, right?"
Zhou Yanheng turned around, and there was a hint of amusement in his condescending eyes.
"Prey with unique personality is indeed worth my extra attention, but how can you prove that you are different from other prey?"
Xia Xingchen, "Hasn't Master Zhou already investigated my entire ancestry? I'm sure Master Zhou knows my worth better than I do."
Although this statement was bold, it just suited Zhou Yanheng's temperament.
The reason why he came to find Xia Xingchen today was because he had guessed that Xia Xingchen was a hidden agent of someone in the Shen family. Based on Xia Xingchen's behavior that night, Zhou Yanheng deduced that this person was most likely the Shen family maggot that Zhou Guochao mentioned.
The timing is not right now. Zhou Guochao does not allow him to interfere in the cooperation between the Zhou and Shen families. He does not want to upset his grandfather over such a trivial matter, so he can only give in.
But being obedient is only temporary. His not intervening now does not mean that he has withdrawn from the game with the Shen family.
Coming to see Xia Xingchen today is the first step in his rearranging the chess game.
So far, Zhou Yanheng is quite satisfied with Xia Xingchen's reaction.
He took the pistol from the bodyguard with a faint smile, loaded it and put it against Xia Xingchen's brow.
"One last question, what is your relationship with Jiang Huashan?"
