841: Chapter 813: The Last Hope 841: Chapter 813: The Last Hope “How’s it going?”
As Li Chen walked in from outside, Yao Chou couldn’t help but ask.
However, Li Chen’s expression remained as still as ancient well water, like a thousand-year-old block of ice.
Though he was asking, Yao Chou already had an answer in his heart.
“No news,” Li Chen shook his head: “Perhaps, I really shouldn’t have just killed him like that.”
A hint of regret surfaced on Li Chen’s face.
“Don’t worry, we will definitely find the person.
It’s not really your fault,” Yao Chou patted Li Chen’s shoulder and said: “Under those circumstances at that ti, no one knew that guy actually had such a killer move hidden.
And moreover, nobody knew if he had any backup plans.”
“If it were , I would have dealt with him right away too.”
Li Chen gently shook his head but said nothing; he knew it was Yao Chou comforting him.
But right now, such consolation was simply of no use to how he felt.
“In fact, I think your attention shouldn’t be on interrogating those people.
With this ti, you might as well spend it searching.” Yao Chou spoke.
“Hm?” Hearing Yao Chou’s words, Li Chen seed to recall sothing, and his face suddenly showed shock.
“Yes!”
The previously impassive Li Chen suddenly exhibited a look of wild joy.
“Yao Chou, thank you!”
With that, Li Chen hurriedly rushed out of the base.
He imdiately jumped into his car and left the new base of the Palace of the Nether King at top speed.
“I’m such an idiot!” Li Chen smacked his head hard: “Why waste ti on these guys?!”
Li Chen suddenly thought that it had actually been less than half a day since Lin Xiaoxiao was taken.
In half a day’s ti, even if the other side could run, they couldn’t have gone far.
If he used so special thods, maybe he could still trace their whereabouts.
Imdiately, Li Chen got in touch with soone he hadn’t contacted for a long ti.
“Hello?”
“This is Li Chen,” Li Chen said in a deep voice.
“I know it’s you,” Yu Yueying’s sowhat helpless voice ca from the phone: “What do you need from so late?”
“Ergency!” Li Chen’s voice was grave as he spoke.
Hearing the tone of Li Chen’s voice, Yu Yueying sensed sothing was amiss and imdiately shed her previous laziness.
“I need to make a trip to the police station right now, and I hope you can help investigate sothing!” Li Chen said.
“Alright, I just happen to be on the night shift today, co over now.”
“I’ll be there imdiately!”
Li Chen also learned so things from Ye Tu, knowing Ye Tu was doing well at the police station as an instructor, and they had a good relationship.
And Li Chen himself was an old friend of Yu Yueying too, so this small favor, Yu Yueying would still be willing to help with.
…
“Did you find anything?” Li Chen looked at Yu Yueying, who was busily checking the surveillance across Linchuan, with so nervousness.
After a while, Yu Yueying, rubbing her sowhat sore eyes, said: “I’ve found so clues and know the direction they went, but as for the specific location, I’m not sure.
To look at more information…
my grade isn’t high enough.”
Listening to Yu Yueying’s words, Li Chen’s face cald down.
Feeling the silence of Li Chen beside her, Yu Yueying quickly spoke: “Don’t worry, it’ll be fine.
I’ll figure out a way for you.
I’ll contact the higher-ups imdiately…”
“No need.”
Li Chen suddenly spoke, “Thank you.”
He nodded toward Yu Yueying, then turned his head and left the police station.
Li Chen was well aware that authority was often an elusive thing.
Perhaps Yu Yueying really could manage it, but by the ti she secured the authority, Lin Xiaoxiao might already have been moved to an unknown location.
Having returned to the villa, it had now fallen into silence.
Lin Yi and Wang Qianqian had already gone to sleep, and Li Chen sat alone on the sofa in the villa, silent.
But his mind was rapidly beginning to whirl.
“No, there’s still hope!”
An idea suddenly flashed through Li Chen’s mind.
Yu Zhe abducted Lin Xiaoxiao for a reason, surely.
Initially, Li Chen thought Yu Zhe intended to use Lin Xiaoxiao to threaten him, but at this point, he could not help but change his perspective.
If Yu Zhe really wanted to use Lin Xiaoxiao to threaten him, why hadn’t he presented her as a human shield when it ca to a critical mont?
This simply defied logic.
The only possibility was that Lin Xiaoxiao was taken for another reason!
“So, what could that reason be?”
Li Chen racked his brain.
After a long ti, still unable to find a clue, he took out his phone and dialed a number.
“Perhaps they are the only ones who can help now,” Li Chen murmured, and finally made the call.
The call was answered quickly as if the person on the other end had been waiting by the phone.
“Hello, Lord Nether King, what brings you to call us re mortals?”
“I don’t have ti for chitchat, I’m calling you to ask for a favor!” Li Chen said gravely.
“Previously, I lent you all so many people, isn’t it ti you repay the favor?” Li Chen said.
“Well…” The voice on the other end of the phone suddenly beca awkward: “Of course, no problem!
But, you have to tell , what is the favor you need?”
“I need to find soone!
Soone who must be found at all costs!” Li Chen’s other hand had clenched into a fist without his realizing it.
“I need to consult on this matter, give a few minutes!” Xia Feng, sensing Li Chen’s resolute tone, fell silent for a mont before responding.
“Alright!”
Quick footsteps could be heard from the other end of the phone, signifying that the person holding the phone seed to be racing sowhere.
Suddenly, Xia Feng’s voice ca through the phone again.
“The affair has been settled.
Your request has been granted.
However, there is one condition.” Xia Feng said.
“Speak!”
There was a pause before Xia Feng continued: “You need to co to the capital.
Our elders would like to et you.”
“Elders?” Li Chen was puzzled.
“The current leaders of Dragon Soul, all matters of Dragon Soul are directly handled by them,” said Xia Feng.
“I don’t have much ti,” Li Chen’s brow furrowed.
“Therefore, before you arrive in the capital, we will ensure the safety of the person you are looking for.
No one can harm her, no one!” Xia Feng said solemnly.
“Fine!
I’ll go!”
