Night fell quietly.
Jinling at night was even more steeped in glittering excess and clamor than it was by day.
A black military SUV stopped outside an unassuming private restaurant.
Yue Xiaofei opened the door and stepped out.
"Xiaofei, are you really going in alone?"
Behind the wheel, Wild Chicken's face was full of worry.
Yue Xiaofei had just received a call from Sun Xiaochuan.
On the phone, Sun Xiaochuan had arrogantly challenged Yue Xiaofei to come to his Purple Gold Mountain Villa before eight that evening and settle things once and for all.
He had also "kindly" warned him that if he called the police or brought even one other person, he would never see Chen Nian or her family again.
"He's bluffing."
Yue Xiaofei's voice was calm.
"Xiao Zhan had Chen Nian and Aunt Liu secretly moved somewhere completely safe. Sun Xiaochuan has no one left. What can he use to threaten me?"
"Even so... he's definitely up to no good!"
Wild Chicken said anxiously, "That villa of his is a fortress! It's bound to be full of traps! And he must have found other people to help him! It's too dangerous for you to go alone!"
The other members of Reverse Scale said nothing, but their expressions showed the same disapproval as Wild Chicken's.
"I know."
Yue Xiaofei nodded.
"This was part of my plan from the start."
"If I don't go, how will the snake hiding behind him come out?"
He turned toward the tense faces in the car and smiled.
"Don't worry. I know what I'm doing."
"Sun Xiaochuan alone can't turn the world upside down."
With that, he gave Wild Chicken and the others no chance to argue further. He turned and entered the restaurant.
The restaurant was Jin Dapao's "secret base."
