Chapter: 2897
Charlie Wade’s words hit Mai Chengxing like a lightning bolt! Just moments before, Charlie had used just one finger to defeat Mike, leaving Mai completely stunned. The power Charlie displayed was far beyond anything Mai could comprehend. Now, with his connection to Xuan Fengnian revealed, Mai was filled with anxiety.
He stared at Charlie, his eyes wide with fear, and asked, “Who are you?”
Charlie smirked and replied, “My last name is Ye, and my name is Chen.”
Mai reacted instantly, “You’ve never met the old man! Why did you secretly follow me and steal my family compass?”
Charlie shot back, “You’re an ancient Feng Shui master, over a hundred years old. You’ve lived in the United States for many years. Why are you back in China? And why are you involved with a criminal like Xuan Fengnian? Aren’t you worried about ruining the reputation of the Mai family, which has lasted nearly a thousand years?”
Mai Chengxing looked embarrassed and stammered, “I… I’m not involved with Xuan Fengnian! My hands have never been stained with blood!”
Charlie pressed further, “Then why did you meet him at Phoenix Mountain Cemetery last night? And what about the security guard who died there? His death has nothing to do with you?”
Mai quickly responded, “I only went to meet him because he wanted to discuss something. I didn’t want to make an enemy out of him, so I went to handle it. As for the security guard…”
When Charlie Wade arrived, he found the old man already dead. “There’s nothing to be done about him,” he stated.
Charlie looked at Mai Chengxing and asked, “What do you need to discuss with him?”
Mai Chengxing replied coldly, “This is a private matter between him and me. It doesn’t concern you.”
Charlie scoffed, “You shouldn’t be so stubborn at your age. I was trying to be nice, but if you want to be difficult, I can play that game too!”
Mai Chengxing felt a bit uneasy but stood his ground. “You’re being unreasonable! I have no issues with you. What I discussed with him is none of your business!”
Charlie said impatiently, “Don’t try to fool me. Let me make this clear: if you don’t explain what Xuan Fengnian is up to and don’t share his whereabouts, don’t blame me for being disrespectful, regardless of age!”
Mai Chengxing snorted. “You’re not a law enforcement officer, so I won’t tell you anything.”
“Not going to tell me?” Charlie shot back, his tone sharp. “Since you saw him yesterday, you know that his gu worm feeds on human brains. If you had caught him a day earlier, more innocent people could have been saved. If you don’t tell me the truth, you are protecting him. Every life lost because of Xuan Fengnian is on your hands!”
