Chapter 1230 The Cai Family Sends Gifts to Test Chu Chen

After hearing this, Cai Dong slammed his hand on the table and stood up.

"Hmph, Yang Rulang, this time the evidence is overwhelming, let's see how you try to deny it. This time, if your Yang family doesn't suffer a heavy blow, I'm not a member of the Cai family."

After saying that, he turned to his subordinates and said, "Go, immediately go and invite Young Master Chu, and tell him that my Cai family is interested in making friends with him!"

At this moment, Chu Chen was holding a meeting with Jiu Tianyang and the others, preparing to build a new industry.

This time, what he wants to build is a power plant.

Once this thing gets up and running, the money it makes will be substantial.

Moreover, once electricity is implemented and they monopolize it, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that they could shake the very foundation of the underground city.

Just after they finished their discussion, a member of the Long Knife Gang suddenly walked in from outside.

"Reporting, the Cai family requests an audience!"

Chu Chen smiled after hearing this, then said to Jiu Tianyang, "Shall we meet the gang leader together?"

A short while later, several people carrying a large box arrived in front of Chu Chen.

"Young Master Chu, my patriarch cordially invites you to visit my Cai family. This is a gift!"

After saying that, the person opened the box. Chu Chen glanced at it and found that it was full of gold coins, which made him somewhat disappointed.

If these are all multi-element stones, then they'll be worth seeing.

However, most of the multi-element stones in this world are controlled by the Heavenly Emperor, and even their large families probably don't have many.

Upon hearing that the Cai family had invited Chu Chen, Jiu Tianyang frowned: "Brother... this!"

"It's alright. I had an agreement with the City Lord before the Cai family head. I reckon the results of the interrogation of Yang Shan are already out."

After saying that, Chu Chen glanced at the person who had come and said, "Please lead the way!"

"Please, Young Master Chu!"

"Brother, why don't I come with you?"

Jiu Tianyang was still somewhat worried, because he knew that their Long Knife Gang had done more than just steal the Yang family's business.

If anything goes wrong on this trip, the Long Knife Gang will be finished.

"Don't worry, just proceed according to my plan. I have my own ways of handling these matters."

After saying that, Chu Chen followed the person and climbed onto the Cai family's carriage.

"Young Master Chu, I am delighted by your presence. Please come in!"

As soon as Chu Chen arrived at the Cai family's gate, he saw Cai Dong, who had been waiting for a long time, leading a group of people to welcome him inside.

After the host and guests were seated, Cai Dong got straight to the point: "Young Master Chu, the enemy of my enemy is my friend. We can be said to have become friends through a fight."

“Here, I apologize on behalf of my good-for-nothing son for offending your wife. I hope you will not hold it against me, Young Master Chu.”

Chu Chen nodded and smiled, signaling him to get to the point.

“Young Master Chu, perhaps you already know that my son’s murder was entirely orchestrated by Yang Rulang. That’s why I’ve come here to discuss with you how to bring down the Yang family.”

"As long as Young Master Chu helps me, after the Yang family falls, half of the Yang family's assets will belong to Young Master Chu."

Chu Chen grinned after hearing this.

I thought to myself, "Are you trying to use me as a pawn?" But half of the Yang family's assets wasn't much of a temptation.

“Patriarch Cai, I am merely an elder of a small gang. The behemoth that is the Yang family could crush me as easily as crushing an ant. How can you be so sure that I, Chu Chen, have that kind of strength?”

"Young Master Chu is too modest. How could someone who receives such protection from the City Lord be without ability?"

Chu Chen still didn't budge after hearing this.

Are you kidding me? You want me to do all the work and get half the benefits? Who do you think the Cai family is?

Moreover, if I wanted to, I had countless ways to completely destroy your powerful families.

"Heh, putting aside ability, what does Patriarch Cai plan to do to retaliate against the Yang family?"

Cai Dong was taken aback after hearing this, and thought to himself, "Why are you asking about this?"

However, he still spoke up, saying, "Hmph, daring to kill members of my Cai family, then let them see how their Yang family members mysteriously disappear one by one."

"Young Master Chu, to be honest, although fighting and killing are forbidden in the underground city, many people still disappear inexplicably. Even if the murderer is eventually caught, they are nothing more than lowly commoners on the street."

Chu Chen understood that these words were a threat to him.

The meaning is clear: a small gang like the Long Knife Gang is no match for these large families.

"But Young Master Chu need not worry, you and I are allies... Hahaha, allies!"

This makes the meaning even clearer: if you submit to the Cai family, nothing will happen to you.

However, Cai Dong ultimately misjudged Chu Chen. If Chu Chen were someone who could be threatened, then he could not have reached the pinnacle of the universe.

"Hehe, Patriarch Cai is right, we are allies."

"However, if street thugs can become murderers, then my Long Knife Gang was also a group of thugs before."

Cai Dong's heart skipped a beat after hearing this.

He has a point. The Longsword Gang is essentially a group that operates on the fringes of the underground city.

If you try to be aggressive, you're no match for them.

Moreover, under Chu Chen's leadership, the Longsword Gang's power has more than doubled or tripled. If you were to actually fight these people, it would be hard to say who would be stronger.

So he quickly laughed it off to cover up his embarrassment.

"I wonder what methods Young Master Chu has to deal with the Yang family? As far as I know, the Yang family will not allow the Longsword Gang to be at peace. I wonder what kind of evil they are plotting right now."

"That's easy. I believe the city lord will soon issue a decree that all grudges in the underground city should be settled in the desolate land."

"If Patriarch Cai wants revenge, why doesn't he just issue a challenge to the Yang family?"

"As for my Longsword Gang, I believe that no one would dare to openly attack us right now, and even less so in the future!"

After saying that, Chu Chen stood up and took his leave.

There's no point in saying more. He originally thought the Cai family was someone he could win over, but now it seems they are not at all.

A large family is a large family; they value their status and position, so how could they be willing to sit on equal footing with a small gang like the Long Knife Gang?

I've told you the method; as for what happens next, that's up to you to fight it out.

When both sides have suffered heavy losses, that will be the time for the Long Knife Gang to reap the rewards.

Cai Dong did not stop Chu Chen from leaving. In his eyes, Chu Chen was still the same person who had no great ambitions and was content to be a gang leader.

He guessed that he had somehow managed to climb the social ladder and get close to the city lord.

The Cai family looked down on such insignificant people.

However, he was quite interested in dealing with the grudges in the desolate place, where a challenge could be issued, regardless of life or death.

If I prepare my strength and issue a challenge to the Yang family, this would be a great opportunity for revenge.

The Yang family accepted the offer, and he had plenty of ways to vent his anger.

If the Yang family doesn't accept the offer, they'll likely never be able to hold their heads high in the entire underground city again.
