Chapter 412: Chapter 412: Double Identity

Huang Shengdong’s face was so gloomy it seemed water might drip from it, his eyes filled with the intent to kill.

None of his followers dared make a sound.

With so many of his men dead, how could he not be angry?

Sun Aoxue pushed the door open and walked straight in.

"Who is it, don’t you know to knock before entering!" Huang Shengdong cursed.

Sun Aoxue smiled and said, "Boss Huang, why so angry? Who has upset you?"

Upon seeing Sun Aoxue, Huang Shengdong’s expression changed dramatically. His angry face instantly filled with a smile, and he said cheerfully, "Oh, it’s Miss Sun. Please, take a seat. May I know what brings Miss Sun here today?"

Huang Shengdong’s attitude was extremely respectful.

As Sun Aoxue looked around at the others, Huang Shengdong hurriedly said, "What are you still doing here! Don’t you have any sense? Get out, all of you!"

The crowd scrambled to leave.

"Miss Sun, please take a seat!" Huang Shengdong rose, speaking respectfully.

Sun Aoxue sat down and said in a deep voice, "Boss Huang, there’s no need for this. I am here today in my capacity as a police officer. There are some matters for which I need Boss Huang’s assistance."

"Sure, no matter which role Miss Sun is visiting in, it is an honor for me," Huang Shengdong replied, with a very humble demeanor.

Clearly, Sun Aoxue’s identity was not as simple as it appeared.

"This is Mr. Chen Dashan, whom I specially invited to help with your matter. How is your investigation going?"

Huang Shengdong sat down opposite her and sighed deeply. "Miss Sun, you are unaware, but I have deployed eighty percent of my men to investigate, and all to no avail. Not only did we not find the person, but we didn’t even see a trace. I’m completely out of options now. If you allow me to find this person, I will surely kill him myself!"

Huang Shengdong was so agitated that he even started banging on the table.

"Alright, no need to keep cursing here. Since I’ve come, it means I have a new breakthrough. Let Mr. Chen explain it to you."

Chen Dashan began, "I don’t know if you are aware of a type of person commonly referred to as a Martial Artist."

"Martial Artist!" Huang Shengdong’s pupils dilated as he said, "Mr. Chen, you don’t say! I actually know about this Martial Artist. I heard it from a friend in the provincial city who runs an underground fighting ring. He mentioned that he became the top dog at the Huangmen City underground fighting ring all because he had a Martial Artist working for him. This Martial Artist is truly incredible, never loses a match, earning him a fortune."

It seemed Huang Shengdong thought of something, "Mr. Chen, are you suggesting that this person is a Martial Artist?"

"Yes, exactly. The only kind of person capable of achieving such results, aside from a Martial Artist, is out of the ordinary. Mr. Chen, have you offended anyone?" Chen Dashan inquired with a smile.

Huang Shengdong looked puzzled: "No, that shouldn’t be. I’m in business, and I fully understand the importance of being amicable. I never purposely offend anyone; I’m very approachable."

He rubbed his chin, lost in thought, but couldn’t come up with anything even after a long while.

"Think again, think about your personal and business interactions," Dashan prompted.

At this, Huang Shengdong suddenly clapped his hands. "Now that you mention it, I do remember something. A couple of days ago, Wang Bai came to me wanting to partner in a business to run an underground fighting ring here, which I turned down. He was not pleased and told me I would regret it. Could it be because of this?"

"Wang Bai? Tell me more about that."

After thinking for a moment, Huang Shengdong said, "Here’s the thing, Wang Bai is a rising force from the East District. Initially, the boss of the East District was Liu Guang, but somehow he handed all his operations to Wang Bai, making him the new boss. This guy is no ordinary person; he’s quite ruthless. He has got all the other local leaders under control."

Sun Aoxue nodded; she was indeed aware of him, as her superiors had advised her to keep an eye on him.

"Recently, Wang Bai approached me to partner in a business to run an underground fighting ring, suggesting using the fifth floor of my building. He said he wanted to rent my place, but actually, he aimed to take control and even use my connections. After years of running my own business here in the West District, I’ve built it up from nothing. He wants to come here, leverage my connections for his business—how could I agree?" Huang Shengdong said angrily.

Running an underground fighting ring, of course, required wealthy patrons, and Huang Shengdong had many of those after years in business. Wang Bai coming here meant he could capitalize on ready-made benefits.

The condition given to Huang Shengdong was simply to rent his venue, which meant he wouldn’t see any profits.

If it were a partnership, Huang Shengdong might have considered it.

But as it was, Huang Shengdong would never agree.

"If I have offended anyone, it could only be this person," he concluded.

Chen Dashan responded, "It must be. The person must have been brought in by Wang Bai. With such a person in the fighting ring, even the toughest professional boxer doesn’t stand a chance; it’s like picking up money off the street. Just like your friend in Huangmen City."

Huang Shengdong felt a chill run down his spine: "Mr. Chen, by your account, am I in danger? To be honest, I have seen that Martial Artist in Huangmen City, and he really is formidable. A small guy, only 1.7 meters, beat up a big man of 1.9 meters like slicing through a watermelon."

"What are you panicking for? We still have the police here," Sun Aoxue chided.

Huang Shengdong wisely shut his mouth.

Sun Aoxue turned to Chen Dashan and said, "Chen Dashan, I can’t interfere with the conflicts between their gangs, but if this person has killed someone, I have to get involved. Do you have a way to handle it?"

That there had been deaths was common knowledge, and now Hengshui City was thrown into turmoil, causing widespread anxiety.

As a police officer, Sun Aoxue naturally took it to heart.

Huang Shengdong was no fool and naturally realized that the Chen Dashan before him was no ordinary person.

"Mr. Chen, if you can resolve this matter for me, I will be most grateful. Please help me!"

He had already figured out that Wang Bai would not give up until he achieved his goal of becoming the boss of Hengshui City, and he wouldn’t spare him.

Unless he handed over everything he owned.

If that were to happen, they might as well take his life.

"Mr. Chen, please, I beg you to help me, I will be most grateful!" Huang Shengdong said, patting his chest.

Chen Dashan pondered for a moment, then said, "Alright, since that is the case, I will think of a way. Let’s head back now, and we will come to see you again tomorrow."

Huang Shengdong was overjoyed and quickly expressed his thanks: "Thank you, Mr. Chen, thank you so much!"

After the two left, Huang Shengdong paced restlessly, fearing that the man might come to take his life.

Eventually, Huang Shengdong fled to a place where no one knew him.

Outside, the sky had completely darkened.

"Chen Dashan, will you be coming back?"
