Chapter: 2888
At that moment, Chen Zekai’s men were hiding at the entrance of the hotel, waiting for the grandparents and grandchildren to come back. They planned to follow them and see what they did next. Mai Chengxing had no idea that someone was watching them.
A taxi pulled up to Buckingham Palace, and with Mike’s help, Mai Chengxing got out of the car. Both of them were tired and quickly went back to their room to rest. Meanwhile, Chen Zekai’s subordinates and the He family members got into a car and trailed the taxi.
A few minutes later, they forced the taxi to stop at an intersection. One of Chen Zekai’s men approached the cab and asked the driver, “Where did you take the grandfather and grandson from here?”
The taxi driver felt nervous as the men seemed threatening. Unsure of what to say, he hesitated. Then, one of Chen Zekai’s men threw 10,000 yuan in cash through the window. “We’re with Hong Wuye,” he said. “If you answer honestly, no one will bother you, and this money is your reward.”
The man quickly changed his tone and added, “But if you don’t tell us, or if you lie, don’t blame us for being rough! I’ve noted your license plate, and if you don’t cooperate, you won’t be able to drive in Jinling anymore.”
The taxi driver might not have known who Chen Zekai was, but he definitely knew about Hong Wu. Hong Wu was a powerful figure in the underground world of Jinling, with many followers and control over various businesses, especially nightclubs and bars. Taxi drivers were well aware of his influence.
The driver knew the area well, so when he heard the name Hong Wu, he quickly said, “Big brother, I know! Those two were in a car by the side of the road near Phoenix Mountain!”
“Phoenix Mountain?!” Chen Zekai’s men frowned. “Isn’t that just the cemetery? There’s nothing else there, right?”
“Exactly!” the driver confirmed. “There’s no one around. A small village used to be there, but it was bought by the developers of the cemetery, and everyone moved away.”
Chen Zekai’s men nodded, then said sternly, “Remember, don’t tell anyone what you just saw, got it?”
The driver quickly replied, “Don’t worry, I understand!”
He then nervously handed over an extra ten thousand yuan. “Brother, you keep the money. I can’t take it…”
Chen Zekai’s men snapped, “Just take it! Stop with the nonsense and hurry up!”
The driver, not wanting to argue, accepted the money and sped off.
Chen Zekai immediately reported the situation to Charlie Wade. When Charlie heard that Mai Chengxing and his grandchild had gone to Phoenix Mountain, he was surprised. “Why would they go there at night after coming to Jinling to find me?” he wondered.
Realizing something was off, Charlie said to Chen Zekai, “Old Chen, check the security footage from when they left Buckingham Palace to see which taxi they took! And find that taxi driver as fast as you can!”
“Make sure to check the license plate number. Also, ask exactly where he took those two people!”
“Don’t forget to ask him what the two talked about in the car. I need as much detail as possible. Write it all down and send it to me!”
“Understood, master!”
