"Alright." Ling Chen changed his tone, responding fearlessly, "Since you want to play, I’ll play along, but you should at least tell your na."
"Mr. Ling, there’s no need to slyly ask my na. If you need a na, you might as well call Old K. Well, I’ve said all I need to. Mr. Ling, a reminder, the second explosion is connected to your friends. If you can’t find out within three days, you can just say goodbye to your friends, haha!"
Amidst Old K’s wild laughter, the call was actively hung up by the other party.
Putting down the phone, Ling Chen turned to Hu Fei and asked, "Fatty, how is it, did you locate the position?"
"No, that guy is too cunning, the signal keeps changing, so it’s impossible to accurately lock it down. If I had ten more seconds, I could have pinpointed his location, but alas..."
Ling Chen nodded, it seems the other party knows his abilities very well, which is why they hung up ten seconds earlier. Soone who knows themselves well, it indicates the other party knows him quite well.
Interesting! Ling Chen squinted his eyes, the enemy hidden in the shadows might be an old acquaintance.
After pondering, Ling Chen put aside thoughts about the man’s identity. Now, he had no energy to dwell on these issues. Just now, Old K’s words were still swirling in his mind. The second explosion is related to his friends, this is definitely not a joke. He has so many friends, who knows which one the other party might target.
"Fatty, call a few professionals, and let’s move imdiately."
"Alright."
Leaving the base, Ling Chen separately called Liu Xiyao and Tang Shiyun, among others, telling them to stay ho obediently and go nowhere.
Honestly, Ling Chen wasn’t sure whether Old K’s warning was true, but when it cos to friends’ safety, he can’t stand idly by. Even if it’s false, he must carefully check once and never gamble with everyone’s lives.
Arriving at Liu Xiyao’s house, Ling Chen brought several professionals to thoroughly search inside and outside the house. Over an hour passed with no findings. After inquiring about so circumstances, Ling Chen spoke, "Yao, if you don’t mind, why don’t you stay at my place for the next few days."
"Go to your place?" Liu Xiyao was slightly taken aback, not expecting Ling Chen would make such a request, "This... this doesn’t seem very appropriate, right?"
"It’s perfectly appropriate. Yao, this situation is rather troubleso, that guy called Old K might be a threat to you, even though we don’t know if it’s true, we can’t be careless. Moreover, living in this place, if anything happens, I won’t be able to reach first in ti. For your safety, it’s better to stay at my house." After speaking, without waiting for Liu Xiyao’s refusal, Ling Chen had already made the decision for her.
Going separate ways, as Liu Xiyao headed to the villa, Ling Chen took others directly by car to Tang Shiyun’s house.
Similarly, Ling Chen didn’t say much, just told Tang Shiyun there might be danger, asking her to stay at his place for the ti being. Tang Shiyun happily agreed to Ling Chen’s invitation. Although Xu Hong was concerned about the implications, she couldn’t reject Ling Chen’s serious depiction of the situation.
Therefore, both beauties were ’prompted’ into Ling Chen’s house using the sa thod.
Besides Tang Shiyun and Liu Xiyao, Ling Chen had quite a number of friends, including Xia Mutong and Nanrong Wanqing, who could beco targets of Old K.
Xia Mutong is a police officer, and Ling Chen knows Xia Mutong’s skills well. Since Xia Mutong underwent modification by the God Organization, her strength is several tis more potent than ordinary people; even skilled experts may not be her match. However strong Xia Mutong is, he ought to remind her to stay cautious, lest any accident happens.
Right away, Ling Chen called Xia Mutong. Ling Chen understands Xia Mutong well, if he reports the facts, Xia Mutong surely will dig deeply. Besides, Xia Mutong has never known what danger is, and this is undoubtedly the greatest danger.
This call, however, aroused suspicion in Xia Mutong. Being skeptical is a normal thing for a police officer. Moreover, Xia Mutong knows Ling Chen well. Even he being so careful indicates sothing very important.
After much persuasion, Ling Chen managed to convince Xia Mutong to abandon her pursuit.
Furthermore, after accepting several unequal terms, Xia Mutong eventually agreed to stay at the police station dormitory. There, no matter who they are, no matter how much daring they possess, no one dares to cause trouble at the police station, unless they are seeking death.
Xia Mutong’s side was resolved, yet the biggest issue remains with Nanrong Wanqing.
Ling Chen felt a headache; his relationship with Nanrong Wanqing is known to most. Although Nanrong Wanqing announced their breakup during an interview, breaking up doesn’t an cutting all ties, the mastermind behind the oil truck explosion might target Nanrong Wanqing.
Getting Nanrong Wanqing to his ho is an impossible task now. If it were before, it would have been simpler. But now, he had already broken up with Nanrong Wanqing, and his ho currently also has Liu Xiyao and Tang Shiyun, knowing this would likely upset Nanrong Wanqing further.
Forget it!
Put aside thoughts of Nanrong Wanqing, find a way to solve her problem later.
Zhu Xiaozhu... Indeed, ever since rescuing Zhu Xiaozhu, they had never contacted each other, not knowing her current situation. That day, due to live news coverage, everyone witnessed his intimate gesture with Zhu Xiaozhu. Therefore, Zhu Xiaozhu might also be a target.
Thinking of this, Ling Chen called Zhu Xiaozhu. Unsurprisingly, Zhu Xiaozhu was still in East Sea City, as the hospital had a batch of interns, preventing her return to Beijing.
Learning Zhu Xiaozhu was staying at the hospital dormitory, Ling Chen imdiately invited her to stay at his place for a while. At monts like this, other matters can be ignored; protecting their safety is all that matters.
Regarding Ling Chen’s invitation, Zhu Xiaozhu felt odd, her heartbeat even quickened.
Being asked to stay at his place, what... what does this imply? Could it be... For reasons unknown, Zhu Xiaozhu’s heart suddenly harbored a trace of anticipation. After much hesitation, Zhu Xiaozhu eventually accepted.
This is a rare opportunity, she doesn’t want to miss it.
By evening.
After a busy day, Zhu Xiaozhu took a taxi to Ling Chen’s ho entrance.
Pressing the doorbell, carrying luggage and several bags of fruit, Zhu Xiaozhu stood outside waiting for soone to open the door. Knowing Ling Chen lives with his family, she specifically brought fresh fruits to pay her respects to the elders.
Soon, the door opened, and Zhu Xiaozhu’s mouth opened, expecting Ling Chen to answer it, ready to call his na. But before she could speak, Zhu Xiaozhu froze.
