Chapter 54: At the End of His Tether?

Chen Xuwen and the other two left the arcade and headed straight home.

When they arrived, Li Tiezhu was sitting indoors, tidying up the ceiling.

Lai Hou glanced at it and asked in surprise, "Brother Wen, why did you put lime up there again?"

"Are we planning to set an ambush for tonight?"

Chen Xuwen replied, "Viper is ruthless in his methods and holds grudges."

"Since we stabbed Ke today, Viper definitely won't let us off. He will surely send people to launch a sneak attack on us tonight."

"That's why we need to prepare in advance!"

Hearing this, Lai Hou smiled, "Haha, Brother Wen, you're always so thorough with your arrangements."

"With this trap, even if Viper himself comes tonight, we'll make sure he pays a heavy price!"

Chen Xuwen smiled and said nothing.

On the way back, they had already bought some food.

After the four of them quickly finished eating, Chen Xuwen took out several weapons and handed them to the other three.

Then, he went to the inner room, retrieved a few raincoats, and handed them to Lai Hou and the others, saying, "Put these on!"

Lai Hou took the raincoats doubtfully, "Why put these on?"

"Are we going out in a while?"

With that, he looked outside and muttered, "It's not even raining outside. The sky is full of stars; it doesn't look like rain at all."

Chen Xuwen said, "Stop talking nonsense and put them on just like I told you."

Seeing this, Lai Hou asked no further and obediently put on the raincoat.

The raincoat covered their entire bodies, and even the face was shielded by a piece of transparent plastic, covering the whole face completely.

Seeing that everyone had put on their raincoats, Chen Xuwen nodded with satisfaction, "The raincoats Eryong bought are pretty good and fit well."

Lai Hou was still full of confusion, "Brother Wen, why are we wearing raincoats?"

Chen Xuwen smiled, "You'll know in a little while."

"Wear them honestly, and remember, you are not allowed to take them off even when sleeping!"

Then, he checked the time and whispered, "Get ready. Tonight we will split into two shifts to take turns sleeping and keeping watch, just in case someone sneaks up on us!"

Wang Zhendong whispered, "Brother Wen, isn't that a bit too extreme?"

Chen Xuwen looked at him and said, "Dongzi, since you've chosen to follow me, you must be prepared to risk your life at any moment."

"If you don't have the guts, you might as well go back to the restaurant and be your waiter."

Wang Zhendong took a deep breath and said, "Brother Wen, I understand."

"I will definitely not let you down!"

Chen Xuwen nodded with satisfaction. He took out a strip of cloth and tightly bound the boning knife to his hand.

Then, he arranged the sleeping schedule, and everyone hid in the room, holding their breath and waiting nervously.

Time ticked by, and a little past eleven o'clock at night, a dozen figures suddenly appeared at the mouth of the alley.

Leading the group was Feng Bao.

He looked deep into the alley and whispered, "What's the situation inside?"

One of the underlings had already arrived earlier to keep watch.

He reported, "There are four people in the room. The lights went out two hours ago, so they should be asleep."

Feng Bao frowned, "Damn it, people in our line of work, who goes to sleep this early?"

"This bastard obviously set a trap!"

"Brothers, are your gear ready?"

The underlings behind him pulled out pairs of glasses one after another, "Brother Bao, all ready!"

Feng Bao also took a pair of glasses from his pocket and sneered, "Hmph, this bastard probably never dreamed that Zhou Jinghui would run over to tip us off."

"Good thing Zhou Jinghui warned us about this bastard's tricks; otherwise, if we had rushed in blindly, wouldn't we have ended up disabled just like Old Black's crew?"

The surrounding underlings nodded in agreement.

Earlier today, Zhou Jinghui had sought out Viper and recounted what had happened to Old Black previously.

At that time, Viper had been thoroughly startled as well.
