On the rural highway leading from Chang'an City to the suburbs, Ma Zhao's black Mustang was speeding at a hundred kilometers per hour, taking Chen Zao out of the city.
At this moment, Chen Zao had already changed into a clean camouflage shirt, and his right arm was rewrapped in thick bandages.
Pinching the bridge of his nose, he felt a wave of unease wash over him.
After a bloody fight, all the alcohol had worn off, and now his mind was incredibly clear.
He wanted Ma Zhao to take him back to Gubei Town, where he planned to wait out the night and head into the mountains early the next morning to avoid the chaos.
While driving, Ma Zhao was still shaken. She couldn't comprehend what had just happened.
Chen Zao firmly believed that he was responsible for the bloody massacre, and Ma Zhao couldn't think of anyone else who could have taken down the Haitao Gang in such a short time.
However, with a normal person's reasoning, Ma Zhao found it hard to believe that this was all done by Chen Zao alone. She thought it was very likely that Chen Zao had gathered a group of people and entered through the back door of Sakura Bar to surround the Haitao Gang.
But in Chang'an's territory, which gang would be so reckless as to directly raid the Haitao Gang's stronghold?
Even the Treasure Hall led by Dragon Lord would have to weigh the consequences before attempting to take down the Haitao Gang; they wouldn't dare act lightly.
What kind of rogues had Chen Zao gotten involved with that they dared to create such a commotion on Haitao Gang's turf? What terrifying force was hidden behind this guy?
Considering Chen Zao's somewhat reckless personality, Ma Zhao worried that he and his group might have acted impulsively against the Haitao Gang. They would surely face the gang's furious retaliation afterward.
Now that Chen Zao wanted to hide, it was indeed a wise choice.
In this critical moment, it's better for Chen Zao not to show up, or else Fu Haitao will definitely butcher him like a pig.
After driving in silence for a while, Ma Zhao asked Chen Zao, "What about Fu Haitao? Did you guys capture him?"
"We?" Chen Zao was taken aback.
"You were just at Sakura Bar; it can't be that you did it all by yourself, right?" Ma Zhao was still struggling with this question.
"I've told you several times; believe it or not. I did it all by myself. If they want revenge, they can come after me directly."
"What about Fu Haitao?" Ma Zhao pressed on, her biggest worry being that this lunatic would retaliate against Chen Zao.
"He's dead." Chen Zao didn't want to recall what had just happened.
"Dead?"
"I accidentally blew his head off." Chen Zao silently recited in his heart: Namo Great Vow Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, may you guide the soul of this wicked person.
"You blew his head off?" Ma Zhao could hardly believe her ears!
Chen Zao was getting a bit annoyed and said, "Just stop asking. I lost my temper and went too hard. A lot of people might have died at that bar tonight. You need to think about how to handle the aftermath."
"Well... I don't know either. I'll talk to Dragon Lord later and see if he has any way to help you resolve the conflict with the Haitao Gang."
"What Haitao Gang? Their leader is dead."
Ma Zhao was speechless. After a light sigh, he said, "You should go hide outside for now. I'll contact you when I have any news."
"You don't need to contact me; you won't be able to reach me. Just keep an eye on your phone, and I'll get in touch with you. If there's any news, let me know."
"Alright."
After a sudden moment of silence, recalling the scene of Ma Zhao just leaving him, Chen Zao glanced at Ma Zhao and warned her in a low voice, "If you dare to harm me, I will make sure you regret it."
Ma Zhao shivered in fear and quickly replied, "No, no, you can rest assured. Whether it's me or Dragon Lord, we will do our best to help you through this crisis."
Fearing that Chen Zao might not believe her, she added, "Our business has just begun; Dragon Lord values you as a major client."
Chen Zao nodded slightly, half believing her. Given the current situation, he could only trust Ma Zhao and Ma Fulong for now.
To keep the other party engaged, after Ma Zhao dropped him off at Gubei Town, Chen Zao pretended to rummage through the roadside and pulled out a Gilded Silver Pot for Ma Zhao.
Back in the car, Chen Zao handed the oilcloth-wrapped Silver Pot to Ma Zhao. "Take this back to Dragon Lord."
Ma Zhao opened a corner of the oilcloth and was taken aback. "This... is the same as the Silver Pot you had before?"
"Yes, it came from the same Tomb. During my absence, I had Dragon Lord help with its appraisal. If he finds a suitable buyer, he should buy it quickly. I'm not asking for much; I'll sell it for thirty million per pot. In the future, if good items come up, I will source them through your Treasure Hall."
Ma Zhao's hands trembled. If this Silver Pot was indeed an ancient artifact from the Tang Dynasty, then selling it to them for thirty million was an incredible deal!
Such rare treasures could easily fetch over a hundred million on the black market!
Chen Zao offered thirty million to them, which would allow them to earn a substantial profit!
Moreover, judging by Chen Zao's expression, the treasures he brought out from that Tomb were not limited to just these two Silver Pots!
As expected by the Dragon Lord, he was indeed a major client worth their deep investment!
Although he felt excited inside, Ma Zhao had to maintain his composure on the surface and said, "Alright, I'll go back and talk to Dragon Lord to see if I can help you sell these pots smoothly."
Chen Zao emphasized again, "If you can sell them, please do it as soon as possible. The money you get should go directly to Fat Jin, and I will inform him. Also, regarding the big mess I got into tonight, if it can be settled with money, then use this money to help me sort it out. I'm not afraid to spend money as long as it keeps me out of trouble; I don't want to keep hiding."
"Understood. Don't worry, I'll go back and discuss with Dragon Lord how we can help you resolve this matter."
"Okay, from now on you don't need to contact me. Just wait for me to reach out to you. Also, don't mention tonight's incident to my brothers around me, especially not to Fat Jin. If anything comes up, wait until I contact you before discussing it."
"I understand."
"As for acquiring the restaurant business and establishing offshore companies, just continue pushing forward as we discussed during dinner tonight. If there are any issues, consult with Big Gang and Triumph; they can make decisions on my behalf."
Ma Zhao nodded and noted down everything Chen Zao said.
Before getting out of the car, Chen Zao reminded Ma Zhao once more: "I consider you all friends, which is why I trust you so much. If I find out that you or Dragon Lord have any intentions of harming me or my brothers around me, then tonight's Haitao Gang will be the future outcome for your Treasure Hall. I'm not joking. You might think of me as Two Hammers, but I want to tell you that I'm far more terrifying than you imagine."
