Back ho, Ling Chen didn’t rest. Instead, he took out a bottle of Erguotou from the liquor cabinet and drank directly from it without using a glass. Qin Genglong’s death was a big blow to him and made him reconsider how to walk the road ahead.
All along, he had never seriously thought about this problem, just simply acted on instinct. It wasn’t until today, during his conversation with Hu Fei at the eting place, that he realized there were many things he needed to consider now, the most important being the future of Hu Fei and others. He must take responsibility for everyone’s safety; he doesn’t want Qin Genglong’s situation to happen again.
It wasn’t long before Ling Chen finished the bottle of Erguotou. After a day and night of exhaustion, coupled with the effects of alcohol, Ling Chen quickly fell into a deep sleep.
He didn’t know how long he’d slept when suddenly a sharp phone ringtone jolted him awake.
Picking up the phone, he glanced at the caller ID and, in a daze, imdiately beca much more awake, quickly answering the call and asking, "Old Tang, have you found Zhu Hong yet?"
"I haven’t found him. I’ve already returned to Beijing."
Hearing these words, Ling Chen couldn’t help but feel disappointed. "Tang Yuan, although we haven’t found him, we obtained intelligence about Zhu Hong. According to our overseas intelligence agency’s report, Zhu Hong has already arrived abroad. I think he must have used a false identity to buy a ticket, so we couldn’t trace him."
"He went abroad?" Ling Chen furrowed his brows and said coldly, "Is he running away?"
"You could say he’s running away or that he’s seeking developnt elsewhere. As far as I know, Zhu Hong has contacted several overseas military enterprises and is discussing cooperation with them. The research results Zhu Hong holds are terrifying, and many military enterprises are sure to be interested. Our military’s high command is quite concerned about this. If Zhu Hong and Yi Haisheng sell those research results to foreign military enterprises, it will pose a serious threat to our country’s security. Currently, Zhu Hong, Yi Haisheng, and over twenty researchers have all been listed as traitors. The military will spare no expense to capture them and bring them back. If necessary, eliminate them on the spot; we absolutely cannot let the research results leak to other countries.
"Are you joining this mission?"
"Didn’t I tell you last ti, the military disbanded Lonely Wolf? Just two hours ago, through a high-level military eting, it was decided to reorganize Lonely Wolf; all Lonely Wolf mbers will return. Furthermore, due to the severity of this matter, the military is worried Colonel Pang won’t be capable, so they brought the old General back to oversee all actions of Lonely Wolf."
"The old General is back too?" This news surprised Ling Chen. He knew very well that the military wouldn’t have invited Qiao Zhen back if they didn’t take this mission seriously.
"Lonely Wolf was originally ford to deal with the God Organization; now, it’s reorganized to deal with Zhu Hong."
"Old Tang, you’d better be careful. Zhu Hong is not the sa as before; he’s quite abnormal now, especially that Chen Quan, terrifyingly strong." Thinking of Chen Quan’s skills, Ling Chen felt a bit uneasy.
"I know. I’ve already reported the matter about Chen Quan. The authorities take it very seriously, and they’re planning to find soone to cooperate."
"Cooperate?" Ling Chen asked, confused, "What do you an?"
"Chen Quan is too powerful, beyond ordinary humans. Plus, if Zhu Hong reaches an agreent with foreign military enterprises, they will surely be heavily protected, so we must find people capable of dealing with Chen Quan."
"Who does the military plan to cooperate with?"
"Heavenly chanism Pavilion." Tang Yuan slowly uttered three words, "Originally, the military wanted to cooperate with you, but they’ve hesitated because this mission cost you a team mber, concerned you might resist."
"Heavenly chanism Pavilion?" Ling Chen furrowed his brows and asked, "Will the Heavenly chanism Pavilion agree to cooperate with the military? From what I know, they rarely get involved in such things."
"The military has already sent people to negotiate. Heavenly chanism Pavilion hasn’t directly refused but indicated they’ll consider it."
"Alright, if there’s any news about Zhu Hong, don’t forget to inform . I must avenge him personally."
"Don’t worry, I know."
After hanging up, Ling Chen let out a breath slowly. Zhu Hong actually fled abroad; this was sothing he hadn’t expected. Traitor... Zhu Hong really dared to play this ga.
After resting for a while, Ling Chen checked the ti; it was already past nine in the morning.
He washed up, made so casual food, and prepared to drive to the base. Halfway through the drive, Ling Chen suddenly received a call from Zhu Xiaozhu.
As soon as the call connected, Zhu Xiaozhu’s anxious voice ca through: "Ling Chen, please help ."
"Xiaozhu, what’s wrong?"
"My parents have been taken away." Zhu Xiaozhu’s voice was choked with tears.
"Taken away?" Ling Chen was slightly surprised and hurriedly asked, "What’s the situation?"
"I don’t know. I was just on the phone with my dad when suddenly so people seed to break into the house and took them away."
"What about you? Where are you?"
"I’m at East Sea City People’s Hospital, about to head to the airport."
"Okay, wait at the hospital for . I’ll drive over right away to pick you up." After saying this, Ling Chen hung up and turned the car towards the hospital. Ten minutes later, Ling Chen parked the car at the hospital entrance and took out his phone to call Zhu Xiaozhu. But although the call went through, no one answered.
Strange! Where is she? Ling Chen frowned and started walking toward the hospital, intending to ask the front desk about Zhu Xiaozhu’s whereabouts.
At this mont, Ling Chen’s sharp eyes suddenly noticed several n in suits dragging Zhu Xiaozhu towards a car at the side entrance of the hospital.
"Xiaozhu!" Ling Chen shouted and hurried over.
Hearing Ling Chen’s voice, the n in suits imdiately focused their attention on him. Seeing Ling Chen running towards them, one of the n in suits quickly reached for his waist, making a motion as if to draw a gun.
Seeing this, Ling Chen didn’t hesitate and imdiately threw his phone, hitting the man’s forehead. Taking advantage of the mont, Ling Chen dashed forward and punched the suited man to the ground.
"Release her imdiately," Ling Chen shouted at them.
"Who are you?" A man in a suit warily looked at Ling Chen and said, "We are sent by the military. Opposing us, are you tired of living?"
Military?
Ling Chen’s heart jolted. Looking at the captured Zhu Xiaozhu, he imdiately understood. Likely because of Zhu Hong’s matters, the military believes Zhu Hong might contact his family, so they captured his parents and Zhu Xiaozhu.
Thinking of this, Ling Chen instantly relaxed and said, "Misunderstanding; turns out we are on the sa side."
