Reborn and Counterattack: The CEO's Powerful Sweetheart-Chapter 638 - 637: Black Widow’s Lover
The Snake Hunter’s lair is located at the foot of the unremarkable Ming Mountain in the Provincial City, surrounded by mountains on four sides and water on one, with a tranquil environment. Evergreen pines and cypress trees reach high into the clouds, making it more suitable for hiding. He even connected several caves; these defensive measures are known to only a few.
It must be said that this Snake Hunter is exceedingly cunning; he seldom comes here in ordinary times. He never forgets the old saying about the crafty rabbit with multiple dens.
He has three other bases, all set up in the city. Without extreme situations, the Snake Hunter will not easily expose the Ming Mountain lair. Very few people know about it, with only a few close associates like Tie Ma having ever been here.
Ever since meeting Gu Tong, the Snake Hunter had been somewhat preoccupied. If she were truly Black Widow, it would be a good thing, but if she were an imposter, she would become a source of worry. To calm himself, he could only come to the Ming Mountain lair and wait for Tie Ma’s news.
After all, it was just a woman; how could she be a match for him?
If she truly had any ulterior motives!
After all, on the Snake Hunter’s turf, he might as well handle these matters; it wasn’t difficult at all...
The Snake Hunter sat on the sofa, contemplating his next step, feeling a persistent sense of unease.
He casually picked up a cup of coffee from the sofa table, took a sip, smacked his lips to savor it, but found that today’s coffee tasted off.
He pushed the coffee away, drew out a cigar and lit it. Perhaps due to his unstable mood, he smoked it rather quickly, seeking to relieve his emotions.
Cough, cough! The cigar choked him just then:
"Boss, boss, there’s news..."
Tie Ma rushed over, panting, with sweat dripping from his head.
He held a thick stack of documents in his hand, fearing to show the slightest negligence.
The Snake Hunter flicked the ash from his cigar, feeling a thrill in his heart, and said, "Speak quickly!"
He has always hated instability!
Any sense of insecurity would make him feel unsafe.
It must be said, the saying goes right: don’t do guilty things, and you won’t fear ghosts knocking at the door.
That’s the principle behind it.
"Boss, this Black Widow’s real name is Chu Jun. She used to be quite a significant figure outside, just as she said. A few months ago, her lair indeed had an incident! It was completely wiped out. Locally, her disappearance caused chaos, with many people speculating that she was captured!"
"However――― to think she actually fled to this region, it’s truly peculiar.
Oh yes, there’s a distinguishing feature to prove her identity: she has a dark red mole on the back of her right hand, about the size of a soybean. That’s the situation. Specifically, we need to study these materials further, but her identity should not be a problem..."
Tie Ma felt a lingering fear, unable to imagine what the outcome would be if Black Widow settled in the Provincial City.
As the saying goes, one mountain cannot contain two tigers. Black Widow once had such high renown; if she truly settled down in the Provincial City, it wouldn’t necessarily be peaceful. By then, conflicts with the Snake Hunter could become inevitable...
"What about that man?"
The Snake Hunter frowned slightly. Although he hadn’t interacted much with Li Yan at the time, his intuition told him that the man was not simple.
Moreover, observing his unusual relationship with Black Widow, it was also evident in the documents.
"That man is named Tan Ming, Black Widow’s lover! However, it’s said that this man is quite different. No matter what Black Widow does, she involves him, going so far as to bring Tan Ming along even when she married her fourth husband."
"Many people say she’s madly in love with this Tan Ming. It’s said that because Tan Ming is frail and often ill, Black Widow even raised money for his treatment. However, the actual facts are unknown..."
Investigating this aspect doesn’t really matter.
The Snake Hunter isn’t running a marriage agency, needing to verify the purity of someone’s family background. What he needs to understand is the truth about Black Widow’s identity! And her purpose in coming to the Provincial City.
After all, the Provincial City is considered his territory; such a significant figure appearing right under his nose would draw anyone’s attention, with a fear of being replaced unless precautions are taken.
"What do you think is the real reason behind Black Widow’s arrival in the Provincial City?"
The Snake Hunter couldn’t figure it out, so he asked directly, which proved his level of concern!
"Perhaps it’s really like Da Fei said, they’re just here to retrieve a shipment..."
Tie Ma speculated.
