Chapter 61 We Are Brothers
Chen Xuewen hung up the phone, his expression turning as dark and grim as ice.
Nearby, Skinny Monkey and the others quickly asked what had happened.
Chen Xuewen recounted the phone call, causing everyone's faces to shift drastically.
Skinny Monkey blurted out anxiously, "Sister Red was captured by them?"
"What are we going to do?"
"Brother Wen, what... what do you plan to do?"
Chen Xuewen sighed, his voice deep and heavy. "Wu Lihong saved my life. No matter what, I cannot sit by and do nothing!"
"I have no choice but to attend Viper's banquet!"
Wang Zhendong anxiously interjected, "Brother Wen, this is clearly a death trap!"
"That man Viper is extremely dangerous on his own."
"Besides, since he is hosting this banquet, who knows how many of his henchmen are lying in wait over there."
"If you go, I'm afraid... I'm afraid you won't make it back..."
Chen Xuewen shook his head. "I have no choice. Wu Lihong, I must save her!"
He looked at Skinny Monkey and the other two, saying, "However, you don't need to come with me!"
"This is my personal matter; there is no need for you to risk your lives along with me!"
With that, Chen Xuewen pulled a bank card from his pocket and handed it to Skinny Monkey. "Monkey, if I don't come back, split the money on this card among yourselves."
"There's one million in here. Each of you takes two hundred thousand, and leave the remaining two hundred thousand for Wu Lihong's younger brother."
"In the future, during the holidays, if you feel up to it, remember to burn some joss paper for my parents!"
Having said this, Chen Xuewen stood up abruptly, tucked a boning knife into his trouser leg, and prepared to leave.
Suddenly, Skinny Monkey slammed the bank card down onto the ground and spat fiercely. "Damn it, Chen Xuewen, what the hell do you mean by this?"
Chen Xuewen was taken aback. "What's wrong?"
Skinny Monkey glared at him angrily. "Chen Xuewen, do you or do you not take me, Skinny Monkey, for a brother?"
"Fine, I may not be some respectable, high-class person."
"But I, Skinny Monkey, know what brotherhood and loyalty mean!"
"Though the time we've spent together hasn't been long, I've already accepted you as my big brother."
"When something like this happens, you tell me to leave? Do you look down on me?"
Hearing Skinny Monkey's words, a wave of deep emotion stirred within Chen Xuewen's heart.
This brother was truly someone you could count on through thick and thin!
"Monkey, I'm sorry."
"I didn't mean to insult you at all, it's just that this time is far too dangerous."
Chen Xuewen sighed. "With the things in the past, I at least had some confidence and a chance to fight back."
"But this time, it's Viper's home turf, and everything has been meticulously arranged by him."
"With Wu Lihong still in their hands, I... I honestly don't stand a chance!"
Skinny Monkey clenched his teeth. "Damn it, if we don't stand a chance, then we'll just fight them to the death!"
"I, Skinny Monkey, am no coward who fears death!"
