Ling Zhenfei sneered coldly, his eyes sweeping over the Chen clan's uncle and nephew, a cold gleam bursting forth.
"Ah!" On hearing this, both the uncle and nephew of the Chen clan were greatly alard, stepping back several steps simultaneously.
Chen Wusi, after all seasoned and scheming, though his heart was in chaos, still mustered his courage and shouted at Ling Zhenfei, "Kid, I'll tell you the truth, the power behind us is definitely not sothing you can provoke. If you stop now and hand over Xie Lina, I guarantee we won't trouble you. If you dare oppose us, the consequences will be unimaginable!"
"Heh, the consequences will be unimaginable? Is that so?"
Ling Zhenfei's cold laughter continued, his face showing even more disdain, "I'm already opposing you now. What can you do to ? Are you saying there's soone behind you giving orders? I was actually thinking of eting him. Why not take your words back to him today?"
As he said this, Ling Zhenfei deliberately elongated his tone, his voice growing heavier, "Go back and tell the person behind you not to think he can evade the police temporarily and act above the law, doing as he pleases. Even if he hides himself deeply, he will eventually fall into my hands one day!"
"You... Kid, you're too arrogant!"
Annoyed by the proud expression on Ling Zhenfei's face, Chen Wusi was about to burst with anger, but Ling Zhenfei coldly cut him off, "You'd better take my exact words back, or else, you'll see what the consequences are!"
Having said this, Ling Zhenfei, accompanied by Zhuo Yue and Xie Lina, intended to return to the residential area but then as if rembering sothing, turned back to the stunned Chen Wusi and said, "Oh, one more thing to add, tell your master that Xie Lina is now under my protection. Advise him not to set his sights on her anymore. If he doesn't listen, I will make him pay a much heavier price."
Ling Zhenfei's words, though inflaming Chen Wusi with rage, left him no choice but to watch helplessly as Ling Zhenfei escorted the two won back to the residential area.
"Uncle, what do we do now? Should we..."
Not until the figures of the three disappeared into the night did Chen Xuanliang regain his composure, about to suggest summoning a large group, but he was sharply interrupted by Chen Wusi's dark voice, "No need. Let's go back and report this kid's words exactly to the Young Master!"
Ling Zhenfei returned with the two won to Zhuo Yue's ho and, seeing the broken security door, Zhuo Yue, still frightened, clutched at her heaving chest and asked Ling Zhenfei, "Ling Zhenfei, who are these people really? How dare they break in so brazenly? Aren't they afraid of the law at all?"
"If they had even the slightest fear of the law, they wouldn't have done this!"
Ling Zhenfei sighed quietly, then clenched his teeth and said gravely, "But this nace, now that they've encountered , I assure you they won't be arrogant for much longer!"
Seeing Ling Zhenfei's firm and confident expression, Zhuo Yue couldn't help but smile in admiration and then inquired doubtfully, "It's strange, Ling Zhenfei, only the three of us knew you were coming here, right? How did they show up right after you'd left?"
Zhuo Yue's point was precisely what puzzled Ling Zhenfei. He had been pondering over this since he had pretended to leave earlier.
Could it be that these people had been secretly following him?
Impossible!
The idea of being followed barely crossed Ling Zhenfei's mind before he dismissed it. Given his current spiritual sense detection ability, he would have definitely noticed if soone was tracking him.
But if it wasn't tracking, then how else to explain how these Chen family mbers so accurately located Xie Lina?
Could it be...
A flash of insight crossed Ling Zhenfei's mind, quickly leading him to the only possibility. Now he had returned to confirm the accuracy of this guess.
In Zhuo Yue's questioning tone, Ling Zhenfei turned his gaze toward Xie Lina.
His eyes were as sharp as a sword, and under successive frights, Xie Lina was already in a fragile state. Swept by such a piercing stare, her face grew even paler.
"Ling Zhenfei, why are you looking at Sister Lina like that? Do you think she brought those people here?"
Seeing Ling Zhenfei staring at Xie Lina, Zhuo Yue couldn't help but feel indignant on behalf of Xie Lina and shot Ling Zhenfei a reproachful glance.
Zhuo Yue's words were spoken in anger, but to her surprise, Ling Zhenfei nodded seriously and said, "You're right, those people were indeed brought here by her!"
"What? What are you talking about, how could Sister Lina possibly..."
Upon hearing this, Zhuo Yue's eyes widened in disbelief, unable to accept what Ling Zhenfei was suggesting.
The villain was brought by Xie Lina? Was Ling Zhenfei out of his mind to utter such nonsense? Could it be that Xie Lina was leading the villain to capture her own self?
As Zhuo Yue was filled with doubts, Ling Zhenfei did not offer her any further explanation and straightforwardly said to Xie Lina in a deep voice, "Miss Xie, if I'm not mistaken, soone secretly placed a tracking device on you without your knowledge!"
Although Ling Zhenfei's words were alarming, Zhuo Yue, after inspecting Xie Lina carefully, indeed found an invisible tracker on her.
This invisible tracker was actually embedded in the platinum ring Xie Lina wore on her hand.
Such a secretive setup was truly unbelievable. As Ling Zhenfei delicately dismantled the tracker inside the ring, Xie Lina's eyes were wide open, hardly able to believe the scene unfolding before her.
"Miss Xie, this ring is really valuable. Could you tell , who gave it to you?"
Ling Zhenfei removed the tracker from the ring and carefully played with the platinum ring, addressing Xie Lina.
"He... he is a demon! A demon!"
Upon hearing this, Xie Lina lowered her head and stared at the ring for a long ti, suddenly showing a sorrowful expression, and then began to sob covering her face.
This is...
Seeing this, both Ling Zhenfei and Zhuo Yue looked at each other in confusion.
Although neither of them spoke, they could see in each other's eyes that they sensed Xie Lina's unease, and the person who gave her the ring might very well be connected to a human trafficking ring.
Ling Zhenfei wanted to ask, but as a man, he felt it inappropriate to ask such a question, so he turned his gaze towards Zhuo Yue.
Understanding his intent, Zhuo Yue gently comforted Xie Lina. After she had cried for a while and her emotions had stabilized sowhat, she finally said, "Sister Lina, don't be sad, tell us what's on your mind, we are here for you."
Touching upon her painful mory, Xie Lina, though heartbroken, eventually gathered her strength to face everything and recounted how she had fallen into the demon's lair.
As it turned out, ever since finishing middle school, Xie Lina had co to work at the Binyang Factory. Not long ago, she t a wealthy young master who was kind to her. He said he wouldn't mind her background and wanted to marry her as his wife.
