Chapter: 2898

“Joke!” Mai Chengxing said arrogantly. “I’ve lived my life standing tall and doing no harm. You can’t blame me for what others do! Even in front of the police, I’ll be innocent!”

Charlie Wade sneered, showing his disdain. “I know how people like you think. You often say, ‘Everyone should mind their own business,’ as if the suffering of others has nothing to do with you. But let me tell you, you might fool others with that attitude, but with me, you’re just as guilty as the one who commits the crime!”

Charlie’s voice grew colder as he continued, “I’ll make this clear today: If Xuan Fengnian kills again in Jinling, I won’t just let you rest in the Phoenix Mountain Cemetery. That would be too easy for you. Instead, I’ll make sure your family lives in a dog kennel for the rest of their lives!”

As Charlie spoke, his intent was clear, and the sharpness of his gaze made Mai Chengxing feel a chill of fear.

Though he didn’t know much about Charlie, he believed every word he said. Nervously, he started to explain, “I don’t know where Xuan Fengnian is. He’s unpredictable and travels alone. He contacted me yesterday when I was at Phoenix Mountain and asked me to help him.”

Charlie replied coldly, “So you have his contact information. Find a way to reach out to him.”

Mai Chengxing hesitated. “This isn’t my fight. I don’t want to get involved. If you have any issues with him, that’s not my concern.”

“Look, this is between the two of you. Please don’t drag the old man into it. Tonight is important. If you leave Huaxia, you won’t have any connections to it anymore.”

Mai Chengxing knew how powerful Xuan Fengnian was, so he didn’t want to make an enemy out of him. He thought, if I help the young man find Xuan Fengyan, it could be dangerous. The young man wouldn’t stand a chance against Xuan Fengnian, and it could end badly for him. Mai Chengxing had always believed in staying out of things that didn’t concern him, especially the feud between Charlie Wade and Xuan Fengnian.

When the old man didn’t intervene, Charlie Wade scoffed. “It’s no surprise that when Huaxia was in trouble, people like you, who claim to understand feng shui, all ran away! You’re all just selfish! What happened to your sense of duty and morals?”

Mai Chengxing felt a bit embarrassed by Charlie Wade’s words, but he stood his ground. “As the saying goes, when the tree falls, the horses scatter. Many people left back then. Everyone has their own goals. Right or wrong, this is a law-abiding society. As long as you follow the law, you’re a good citizen!”

After that, Mai Chengxing looked sharply at Charlie Wade. “On the other hand, if you try to limit my freedom, then you’re breaking the law yourself!”

Charlie Wade was surprised by how stubborn the old man was. He had thought they had a connection, but it seemed that was not enough to change his mind.

Charlie Wade didn’t think this person was bad at first. But today, he learned that this old man wasn’t just harmless; he was actually selfish and didn’t care about hurting others. When things got tough, he would only think of himself and completely ignore the lives of those around him.

Charlie nodded coldly and said, “It’s interesting that you’re afraid of being involved, while I’m just the opposite. If you end up in my hands, there’s no way out for you. I’ll take you to see the kennel, and after that, you can decide if you want to get involved.”

Mai Chengxing was angry and stomped his feet, but he also felt a bit scared by Charlie’s firm demeanor. He softened his tone and pleaded, “Mr. Ye, I’m not young anymore. Why are you being so hard on me?”

Charlie scoffed and replied, “Let’s cut to the chase. I’m serious: if Xuan Fengnian kills one more person, I want you to die in Jinling!”
