Chapter 396: Chapter 394: Iron Fist


Of course, Chen Xin did not stay in the military camp all day long. As mentioned earlier, he would still go to the camp in the morning to handle matters regarding the construction of the heating network.


This was precisely the only opportunity for Azu to get close to him. As for the time Chen Xin slept in the camp at night, Azu did not feel he had a chance.


Although Chen Xin was also in the camp, during the day the workers were busy, and people walking around the camp were not noticeable or strange, but at night, when everyone was sleeping, anyone walking around would be very conspicuous.


So, after some consideration, Azu decided to find an opportunity to approach Chen Xin during the day, and then find a way to kill Chen Xin, to avenge his fallen brothers.


However, to achieve this, Azu first had to find a way to sneak into the camp; otherwise, he wouldn’t even be able to enter the gate to commit arson and murder, so what would be the point?


Fortunately, an opportunity soon presented itself. Due to the expansion of the heating hub construction team in Lin City, Azu volunteered and became a member of the construction team.


Even though he became a member of the construction team and theoretically had the opportunity to approach Chen Xin at the camp, or wait for Chen Xin to appear at the construction site, Azu still found it very difficult to actually find a chance to get close to Chen Xin.


After all, not all construction teams would go to the camp where Chen Xin was; they were dispersed at various construction sites, and only the key personnel responsible for construction would occasionally go to the camp to report on construction progress and related issues.


Chen Xin himself did not go to the construction sites every day, so waiting for him to appear was a matter of chance.


Therefore, for Azu to approach Chen Xin, he had to become one of the key personnel in a construction team to legitimately go to the camp and meet Chen Xin.


This was not too difficult to achieve, as even though a construction team had about a dozen people, besides the person in charge of each site, there were always one or two leaders among the workers.


Azu just needed to become the leader and get along with the person in charge, and then naturally, he would have the opportunity to approach Chen Xin.


Using some small tricks to make the person in charge unable to leave, Azu managed to replace him and go to the camp to report work.


Upon arriving at the camp, Azu restrained his excitement, trying to appear normal, and carefully searched for Chen Xin’s figure.


Azu had to be cautious because upon entering the camp, he saw Wang Hai and his battle group.


If it were in the past, Azu would have the courage to confront Wang Hai, but now, without weapons or men, and in a half-disabled state, trying to clash with elite special forces would be akin to an egg hitting a rock.


Moreover, once his identity was discovered, killing Chen Xin would become impossible.


Therefore, Azu had to be extremely careful to ensure everything went smoothly.


Fortunately, Chen Xin soon appeared in the camp, making Azu’s heart race a little faster.


However, what surprised Azu was that Chen Xin was accompanied by a woman with whom he seemed intimate; this made Azu raise an eyebrow.


He sarcastically thought Chen Xin couldn’t forget women even at the end of his life, but showed no expression on his face, following others into the conference room.


They were there to report work, and even if Azu wanted to kill Chen Xin, he couldn’t do it in front of so many people. That way, he wouldn’t even be able to achieve a mutual destruction.


Therefore, he needed to wait for the right moment to create an opportunity to be alone with Chen Xin in the room, allowing him to kill him and give himself enough time to escape.


However, as it seemed, Azu thought he might need to kill one more person.


The meeting process was ordinary, with each site leader reporting work progress and discussing areas that needed coordination. With that, the meeting was over.


Since Azu needed to disguise himself, he also pretended to seriously report the work to Chen Xin.


After the meeting, everyone gradually left the conference room, and Azu feigned having something to say, deliberately left the room a few steps slower.


When Chen Xin and the woman beside him were about to leave, Azu hurriedly approached Chen Xin and said, "Mr. Chen, could I take up a bit of your time? I have something to consult with you."


Hearing Azu’s voice, Chen Xin raised an eyebrow but did not refuse, saying to the woman beside him, "A-Lan, you wait for me outside, I’ll be there shortly."


After that, he turned to Azu and asked, "What do you want to discuss?"


"It’s like this, we encountered some problems during construction, and the person in charge asked me to consult you." As Azu spoke, he approached Chen Xin. He did not carry any weapons, but he was confident he could kill Chen Xin with his bare hands: "You’re the designer of the heating hub, so we can only consult you about this matter."


"Oh? What’s the problem?" Chen Xin didn’t suspect anything and asked Azu to explain while he sat back down: "Is it a problem encountered during construction?"


"Yes, we encountered..." As Azu spoke, seeing Qin Lan had already left and closed the door, he moved closer to Chen Xin and suddenly reached out his hands to strangle his neck: "Die!"


Chen Xin did not expect this situation and was caught off guard, grabbed by the throat by Azu. He tried to resist but could not breathe and couldn’t pry Azu’s grip, unable to even call for help as it was suppressed in his throat.


Realizing his struggle was in vain, his vision started to darken, and his body was pinned to the chair, unable to move. Chen Xin suddenly reached out to the table beside him, pushing it hard, making a loud noise.


At this time, Azu was entirely lost in the thrill of revenge, not paying attention to Chen Xin’s actions, only grimly choking Chen Xin, intending to strangle him to death.


However, just then, Qin Lan, who had originally left, returned, and upon opening the door, saw Azu strangling Chen Xin’s neck, and was instantly shocked, rushing forward to grab Azu and pull him back while landing a punch on his head.


Being pulled by Qin Lan, Azu didn’t want to let go of Chen Xin, but the force from Qin Lan’s right hand was irresistible, and he stumbled back, the punch from Qin Lan made stars appear in his vision.


This unexpected outcome was beyond Azu’s expectations. He wanted to regroup and subdue Qin Lan to return to kill Chen Xin but didn’t anticipate that before he could recover from Qin Lan’s punch, her second punch landed like a hammer on his head.


Bang! Azu felt as though his head was struck by a hammer, instantly dazing him, and then he lost consciousness.
