<h4>Chapter 987: Chapter 994: Encircling Zhao Zhengxiong</h4>
"Chen, don’t worry, I’m a hundred percent sure this time, it’s definitely him," Jiang Hao said. "Around noon today, I was eating at a hotel with some of the boys. I really needed to use the restroom during the meal, so I went to the bathroom midway. Just then, I saw Zhao Zhengxionging out of a private room with a few people around him, all of them his trusted subordinates."
"Do you know where he’s going?"
"After I spotted Zhao Zhengxiong, I immediately had a couple of the boys secretly follow his car. They just sent me a message; they’ve already found out where Zhao Zhengxiong lives. Chen, we’ve been searching for that bastard for so long, and we’ve finally flushed him out. There’s no time to lose, let’s set out right away and teach that bastard a lesson."
"Yeah!" Nanrong Hao chimed in. "Chen, this is a rare opportunity. If it weren’t for his betrayal back then, we wouldn’t have ended up like this."
Ling Chen nced at Nanrong Hao, pondered for a moment, and nodded, "Alright. You two organize the personnel immediately and surround Zhao Zhengxiong’s ce. Remember, don’t alert the enemy. This time, no matter what, we have to catch him."
After greeting Nanrong Wanqing, Ling Chen directly went with Jiang Hao and Nanrong Hao to Zhao Zhengxiong’s residence.
By the time the three arrived, Jiang Hao’s men were already there, and as per Jiang Hao’s instructions, they had surrounded the area to prevent Zhao Zhengxiong from escaping.
Jiang Hao put down his phone, looked at Ling Chen beside him, and said, "Chen, everyone’s in position."
"Let’s go meet Zhao Zhengxiong." With that, Ling Chen headed straight for the nearby apartment building.
Zhao Zhengxiong was hiding in an old apartment building. This building had five floors with about thirty households. ording to the information provided by Jiang Hao’s men, Zhao Zhengxiong lived on the fifth floor.
As he passed by the building’s entrance, Ling Chen saw several luxury cars parked by the roadside, clearly Zhao Zhengxiong’s rides. Back in the day, when Zhao Zhengxiong was running in the Old City, he drove small cars worth around a hundred thousand. Now, he traveled in cars worth millions and even had personal bodyguards.
However, if it weren’t for Ling Chen, Zhao Zhengxiong wouldn’t have achieved what he has today.
In no time, the three of them went straight up the stairs to the fifth floor of the apartment building.
Zhao Zhengxiong’s room was on the far left of the fifth floor. At the staircase entrance, Ling Chen peeked towards the balcony and saw several people standing outside the room at the end of the balcony, presumably Zhao Zhengxiong’s bodyguards.
At this moment, Ling Chen gestured to Jiang Hao and Nanrong Hao, signaling them to stay in the stairwell and not go out for the time being. Immediately after, Ling Chen’s foot slid, and with the Nine Yang Qiankun Step, his body transformed like a swift wind, rushing towards the end of the balcony.
In the blink of an eye, before the bodyguards on the balcony could react, Ling Chen was already upon them, swinging his fists. With a series of ’bang bang’ sounds, the bodyguards on the balcony were knocked out cold and fell to the ground.
After dealing with the guards at the door, Ling Chen signaled to Jiang Hao and Nanrong Hao who were hiding in the stairwell, and they quickly followed.
Standing in front of the door, without wasting words, Jiang Hao charged directly at it.
Bang!
Under Jiang Hao’s impact, the tightly closed door immediately burst open. Seizing the opportunity, Ling Chen and Nanrong Hao closely followed Jiang Hao’s steps, quickly rushing into the room.
"Where is he?" Nanrong Hao furrowed his brows, searching everywhere in the empty room for Zhao Zhengxiong. But there wasn’t a single person inside.
However, the TV in the living room was on, and several unfinished bottles of alcohol were on the coffee table, with a half-burnt cigarette in the ashtray.
"They must have been here just now," Jiang Hao said in a deep voice.
"Chen, over there," Nanrong Hao pointed to the window at the back of the room and rushed over.
Leaning out the window, they saw Zhao Zhengxiong and two men climbing up along the outer wall on the air conditioning brackets. Seeing that the three of them were about to climb to the rooftop, Nanrong Hao quickly jumped out of the window, following along the air conditioning brackets to chase after Zhao Zhengxiong and the others.
"Jiang Hao, keep up, don’t let Haozi get in trouble."
"Got it," Jiang Hao nodded and immediately followed closely behind Nanrong Hao.
Compared to Nanrong Hao and Jiang Hao, Ling Chen was even quicker and more agile. Before long, he had climbed straight up to the rooftop of the apartment through the window.
At this moment, Zhao Zhengxiong, protected by his two subordinates, was quickly heading to the edge of the rooftop.
In the direction they were heading, there was another apartment building’s rooftop.
Seeing that Nanrong Hao and Jiang Hao hadn’t caught up yet, Ling Chen had to chase on his own. By then, Zhao Zhengxiong and his two subordinates had already reached the edge of the rooftop. Looking at the opposing roof, there was at least a seven or eight meters gap, making it impossible to jump over.
"Quick, quick, think of something," Zhao Zhengxiong urged, seeing Ling Chen closing in.
"Boss, there’s a nk over there," one of the men picked up a nk from the side of the rooftop and ced it between the two buildings, coincidentally seven meters long.
"Boss, you go first."
Zhao Zhengxiong nodded and, regardless of whether the nk was stable, walked straight on it.
The nk was twenty meters above the ground, and Zhao Zhengxiong carefully bnced, spreading his arms, slowly moving forward.
"Zhao Zhengxiong, stop!"
Ling Chen shouted loudly.
Hearing Ling Chen’s voice from behind, Zhao Zhengxiong ignored it and hurriedly jumped onto the opposite rooftop. Then, he quickly turned around and pushed the nk between the two buildings.
Seeing the nk fall, Ling Chen stopped at the rooftop’s edge and looked at Zhao Zhengxiong on the other side, saying, "Do you not even dare to face me now?"
"It’s not that I don’t dare, but I don’t want to. Ling Chen, considering our past rtionship, I don’t want to be enemies with you, so why are you pursuing me so relentlessly?"
"It’s not that I don’t want to let you go, but you’ve done too many despicable things. Jiang Hao and Nanrong Hao saw you as a brother and treated you as one of their own, and what did you do in return? You set up Jiang Hao, leading to his arrest by the police. Moreover, you seized Nanrong Hao’s territory. When you did these things, did you ever consider the brotherhood we once shared?"
Zhao Zhengxiong coldly said, "No matter what you say, at this point, we can keep to our own sides. If you provoke me again, don’t me me for being ruthless."
"Fine, let’s see what you’ve got."
"You’ll see, the underground forces of East Sea City will eventually be mine, Zhao Zhengxiong’s alone."
"I’ll be watching."
