Chapter 1533: Chapter 1523: Hero

Mo Xiao said, "Hehe, don’t underestimate him. He’s quite formidable, but so what; he’s still fallen into my clutches." His subordinate flattered him, "Boss, you’re really something." Mo Xiao patted his subordinate’s shoulder, "Come, I’ll take you to meet this kid Jiang Cheng."

After speaking, Mo Niao and a few subordinates went to meet Jiang Cheng. As they got closer, Jiang Cheng started to feel a sense of impending danger. He made a gesture, signaling his brothers to be cautious.

When Mo Xiao reached Jiang Cheng, he greeted Jiang Cheng with a sinister smile. Jiang Cheng felt a sense of familiarity. As Mo Xiao got closer, that sense of familiarity grew stronger.

Mo Xiao gestured to greet Jiang Cheng, who also returned the gesture. He thought, "This person looks familiar. Have I seen him somewhere before?" Mo Xiao approached Jiang Cheng with a smile, "Hello, finally meeting you. I’ve heard a lot about you."

Jiang Cheng then realized it was Mo Xiao. He had seen Mo Xiao’s name in documents he read before, and now he was sure that the person in front of him was Mo Xiao.

Mo Xiao reached out to pat Jiang Cheng’s shoulder, but once Jiang Cheng realized it was Mo Xiao, he didn’t want to see him for even a moment. Mo Xiao was a very cunning person, and Jiang Cheng didn’t want to interact or speak with him.

He thought about how the person who kidnapped those children was Mo Xiao. Now that the children had been moved, how could he save them? Mo Xiao was definitely not someone who showed mercy.

Where are those children now? How can I find them? If I can’t rescue them, what will Mo Xiao do to them? Jiang Cheng watched as Mo Xiao’s hand reached out, and he quickly dodged Mo Xiao’s hand.

"Don’t touch me. Keep your filthy hand away from me. Don’t contaminate me." Mo Xiao looked embarrassed and gritted his teeth in anger, wishing he could swallow Jiang Cheng whole.

Jiang Cheng’s brothers lowered their heads and snickered, while Mo Xiao’s men were so infuriated by Jiang Cheng that their faces turned green. Mo Xiao looked at this scene, utterly enraged, and snapped at Jiang Cheng, "Fine, if you don’t want to deal with me, I have no desire to approach you. Don’t act so arrogantly, young man, you’ll regret it."

Jiang Cheng sneered, "Sorry, if I suffer, it’s my problem, not yours to worry about."

Mo Xiao pointed at Jiang Cheng, "You! Don’t go too far, or else..." Jiang Cheng replied, "Or else what? I’m not afraid of you." Mo Xiao chuckled, "Oh, you’re not afraid? Fine, then just wait and see. Now, kindly leave here with your men. Don’t force my hand."

Jiang Cheng said, "Who are you to tell me to leave?" Mo Xiao’s patience was wearing thin, clenching his fists tightly, "This is my turf. I’m giving you a chance now, so people won’t say I’m bullying youngsters. I don’t want people like you tarnishing my reputation."

Jiang Cheng looked at him seriously, "This land belongs to the Senjiang region. What right do you have to claim it as your own?

You don’t have the right to drive me away either. Senjiang belongs to the region, and people like you aren’t worthy of being here, staining this land with your filth."

"Oh, so all rights, huh? Let me show you something, so you can witness my prowess." Turning to his subordinate, "Bring it out and show him, let him learn a thing or two."

The subordinate quickly brought out a certificate, and Mo Xiao opened it in front of Jiang Cheng, looking at him smugly.

"See that? I’ll show you what ownership means. This Senjiang is now mine, so stop spewing nonsense here." Jiang Cheng couldn’t believe what he was seeing; he never thought that Senjiang could belong to Mo Xiao.

Jiang Cheng’s brothers also came closer to have a look, some of them gritting their teeth in anger, while others were silent and helpless.

At this moment, Mo Xiao and his subordinates were extremely pleased with themselves, especially Mo Xiao, who finally showed Jiang Cheng his strength.

Jiang Cheng was at a loss for words; logic was on Mo Xiao’s side. Whether he could leave safely was a concern, and how could he rescue those children? Jiang Cheng was very disappointed. He looked at Mo Xiao disdainfully, and Mo Xiao extended his hand, "Please." Jiang Cheng and his brothers reluctantly left.

While Jiang Cheng and Mo Xiao were having their confrontation, in the next room, where the children were moved, a little girl was secretly pressing her ear against the wall, listening to the sounds from the other side.

Through the conversation next door, she realized that the man speaking with Mo Xiao didn’t seem afraid of him; in fact, Mo Xiao seemed somewhat fearful of this man. She thought, maybe their savior had come. Her brain was working rapidly; she had to come up with a way to save herself.

Taking advantage of the fact that Mo Xiao and his subordinates were mainly dealing with Jiang Cheng, she pretended to have a stomachache and kept shouting that she needed to go to the bathroom. A subordinate had no choice but to let her leave the room where they were held and go to a grassy area.

Because the one needing to go to the bathroom was a girl, Mo Xiao’s subordinate didn’t follow too closely, just watching her from a distance. While in the grass, the girl kept an eye on the "150" watching her. When the subordinate got a bit distracted, she mustered all her strength and immediately ran away.

She ran desperately down the mountain, her heart pounding in her chest. She could clearly hear her own heartbeat, feeling her legs trembling slightly.

The subordinate noticed the little girl running and shouted, "Someone’s running away!" The shout alerted several other subordinates of Mo Xiao, who all began to chase after her.

Running and running, the girl felt her throat on fire, burning, while her legs gradually started to ache. Yet she kept running with all her might, not daring to look back, knowing that if caught, Mo Xiao would surely punish her.

"Stop!" the subordinates yelled while chasing after her. Their voices caught the attention of a disheartened Jiang Cheng. He saw a little girl running not far away, with several subordinates in pursuit.

He turned to his brothers and said, "We need to help that girl; perhaps through her, we can find out where the children are being held now."

After speaking, Jiang Cheng immediately ran over, and his brothers nodded and followed Jiang Cheng. They first caught up with the little girl, and Jiang Cheng shielded her behind him. The other brothers stood in front of Jiang Cheng, blocking the subordinates’ path.

"Get out of the way! What are you trying to do?" the subordinates shouted at Jiang Cheng and his brothers, "Mind your own business!" This caught the attention of Mo Xiao, who was still feeling smug inside the house. He hurriedly brought his subordinates out to see what was happening.

"What’s going on?" he asked one of his subordinates. "A little girl ran, and they blocked us from chasing her," the subordinate replied. "How can another girl run? What are you all doing?" Mo Xiao snapped at his subordinate, who had nothing to say and retreated, bowing his head.

Mo Xiao looked at Jiang Cheng, "Isn’t this Jiang Cheng? Just a moment ago, you were all ready to leave in disgrace, but now you’re acting like a big hero minding others’ business?" Jiang Cheng replied, "This land may be yours, but the child isn’t, right? I’m just taking her back to her parents; surely that’s none of your business."

Taking advantage of Mo Xiao and Jiang Cheng’s confrontation, the little girl quietly ran away again. She saw a car parked not far away, which wasn’t Mo Xiao’s car she had seen before, so she immediately ran over, squeezed through the window gap, and hid under the backseat.
