Chapter 36 Kneel Down!
The sudden scene stunned everyone present.
Who is this person?
What do you do?
Don't you know where this place is?
However, when Cheng Hao saw the other person's facial features, he was clearly surprised.
"Captain Chu, you guys escaped successfully too?"
He raised his hand; only half an hour had passed on his watch.
Cheng Hao naturally didn't think the other party had solved the reservoir issue; he just felt humiliated and then turned back.
But escaping through the reed path was clearly not an easy task.
Upon hearing this, everyone from the Zhongzhou Club turned their attention to Chu Mo.
Zhao Shuo looked him up and down, his face cold.
"So you're the outside help headquarters brought in? You're already scrambling to handle paranormal cases on your first trip to Zhongzhou City—are you planning to rise to a leadership position?"
Another club member joked, "If you have any ideas, our club would be happy to help."
As soon as he finished speaking, the people in the club all looked like they were enjoying the show.
Cheng Hao's face turned somewhat ugly; the words, which were clearly intended to provoke, were all too obvious.
"Zhao Shuo, as the club's representative, you'd better watch your words."
Cheng Hao warned the other party again.
Zhao Shuo pretended not to hear and instead focused his gaze on Chu Mo.
At this moment, both Cheng Hao and the members of Zhongzhou Club were observing each other's reactions.
For Zhao Shuo, a lot could be revealed through simple words.
If this foreign player takes a hard line and continues to side with headquarters, it could be a problem in the future, and pressure should be applied in advance.
However, if the other party is humble or tactful, it is much easier to handle.
However, the other party's answer deviated from the framework that Zhao Shuo had set for himself.
"Get out of the way, be quiet. This is the last warning. Don't think I'm joking."
Chu Mo's face remained calm and expressionless; he didn't take these people seriously at all.
"Did you hear that? Brother Chu told you to get out of the way. Don't be ungrateful."
Yan Li spoke up at this moment. He was carrying a bulging bag and looked rather disheveled, with some dirt on his clothes.
Everyone turned to look at the person who made the sound.
Who else could it be but you?
Do you even have the right to speak?
Zhao Shuo clicked his tongue and couldn't help but ask, "What if I don't allow it?"
Not allowed?
Almost the instant Zhao Shuo finished speaking, his knees buckled and he knelt down on Chu Mo.
boom!
The sound of bones hitting the concrete floor was deafening, and the sudden scene caught everyone off guard.
They were completely unprepared for Zhao Shuo to suddenly kneel down before the other party.
One second he was spouting tough words, and the next he did something so humiliating.
However, Qian Ping, who was standing to the side, quickly realized that something was wrong; Zhao Shuo seemed to be unresponsive.
died?
Qian Ping instinctively reached out to Zhao Shuo, but the other man's body had already stiffened.
Zhao Shuo's head drooped, his body swaying precariously, as if he would collapse to the ground at any moment.
In the time it takes to say a single sentence.
The demon tamer was killed without any warning.
Chu Mo kicked Zhao Shuo's corpse aside as if it were trash, completely disregarding what the people in the club might be thinking.
After this commotion, the people at Zhongzhou Club have become much more clear-headed.
Most of them were just ordinary people working for the club, and they certainly didn't need to risk their lives to earn some money.
The only one who expressed dissatisfaction was Qian Ping.
But after witnessing the ruthlessness of this external aid worker from headquarters, he swallowed his anger.
A head-on confrontation would obviously put you at a greater disadvantage.
Chu Mo stared at the ghost tamer named Qian Ping without saying a word, and silently walked towards the entrance of Lin'an Hotel.
Yan Li seemed to understand something from the other party's eyes, and then he said to the people from Zhongzhou Club in a low voice, "Why aren't you getting out of here?"
To be honest, this was my first time meeting other clubs' Ghost Riders, and the reason I had this confidence was entirely due to Brother Chu's support.
But I have to say, this feeling is really great, at least it's not as pathetic as living in Dachang City.
Chu Mo did not stop Yan Li, which can be taken as tacit approval.
Qian Ping stared coldly at Chu Mo's back, seemingly wanting to remember this person completely.
Soon, he shifted his gaze to Yan Li.
He didn't linger, knowing that he couldn't possibly get Zhao Shuo back from the other party on his own after Zhao Shuo's death.
This matter can only be kept to myself for now. I will discuss it further with the other members after I get back.
Just wait, you'll pay the price for daring to provoke the club in Zhongzhou City.
Cursing under his breath, Qian Ping waved his hand dismissively, "Let's go!"
Soon, the group of people left the hotel and disappeared into the depths of the street.
After all these people left, Yan Li quickly followed behind Chu Mo again.
"Brother Chu, why not just wipe them all out and let them go back? Wouldn't that make things even more complicated later?"
The serious concerns are not unfounded. If the weeds are not eradicated at the root, they will grow back in the spring. If the club members know that their people have been dealt with, they will definitely not stand idly by.
Moreover, the Zhongzhou Club is used to bullying others in Zhongzhou City, and it is even less likely that they will swallow this insult.
However, Chu Mo waved his hand.
"I know what you mean, but taking down one is the same as taking down ten. The source is the entire Zhongzhou Club. Even if I take down those people, the final result will not change. I don't want to clean up the mess after those people die."
Yan Li nodded thoughtfully.
To some extent, Chu Mo's actions were a powerful warning to the Zhongzhou Club, letting them know who the real power holders in this city really were.
Chu Mo didn't explain further. He ordered sternly, "Have Cheng Hao come to my room."
---
The seventh floor.
Room 702.
A knock came from the living room, and soon Yan Li brought Cheng Hao over.
"Captain Chu, you were looking for me?"
Cheng Hao smiled awkwardly. In the brief moment he had come up, he had already learned from Yan Li that the other party had handled the reservoir incident.
This case, which had been ongoing for nearly two years, was resolved in just half an hour by the outsourced staff member from headquarters.
This made him, the person in charge of Zhongzhou City, feel somewhat ashamed.
Having understood the difference between the two, I dare not be complacent at all now.
"Relax, it's just normal communication. You don't seem to be under this much pressure when facing those people from the Zhongzhou Club."
Chu Mo placed the brewed tea opposite them and gestured for the two to sit down.
Cheng Hao nodded, unsure of what to say for a moment.
Yan Li didn't disturb the two of them; he knew what he could and couldn't hear.
However, in his opinion, Cheng Hao always gave him the illusion that he was not the person in charge of Zhongzhou.
However, Yan Li wasn't the only one who felt this way; Chu Mo felt the same way.
"I've taken care of that Zhongzhou Club member. You don't need to worry about that guy's ghost coming back to life here."
"I called you here today because I'm curious about some things."
Chu Mo rested his chin on his hands and calmly gazed at Cheng Hao in front of him.
He said, "On the way back, I had Zhao Jianguo check your file, but it seems that you deliberately concealed your deeds before you became the person in charge."
"I'd like to know, what did you do before you took over as head?"
