A few minutes later, Leng Feifei, wrapped in a bathrobe, walked out of the restroom while drying her wet hair with a towel. She found the room empty—Ling Chen was nowhere to be seen; only a set of clothes remained on the bed.
Looking at the pink round bed and the array of sex toys around it, a flush of sha and anger briefly flashed through Leng Feifei’s eyes. However, thinking back to what had happened between her and Ling Chen on the bed, she felt her face turning scarlet hot and her eyes filled with bashfulness.
She knew clearly that it was because she had been drugged, which caused her to act in such an embarrassing manner. But in her over twenty years of purity, she had not even held hands with a man, let alone have such an experience.
Just as she was thinking, the door was pushed open from the outside, and the person who entered was none other than Ling Chen.
Seeing the weary look on Ling Chen’s face, Leng Feifei asked with concern, "Are you alright?"
"I’m fine," Ling Chen replied with a smile, secretly thinking to himself that it was no easy feat. To free the other won on the cargo ship from the control of the drugs and to bring them back to consciousness, he had nearly exhausted all his energy.
"Feifei, how did you fall into their hands?" Ling Chen asked.
"I had finished night self-study and was on my way back to the dormitory when a few youths stopped . They used knockout drugs on , took into a car... after that, I’m not too clear on what happened. I was in a daze the whole ti until I was brought here; only then did I regain so awareness." Having said this, Leng Feifei looked at Ling Chen curiously and asked, "How did you know I had been captured?"
"It was a coincidence," Ling Chen explained casually.
"I’ve already called the police, and they’ll be arriving soon. You can go ho after giving your statent to them," Ling Chen reminded her not to forget: "Be more careful in the future, try not to walk alone at night, as dangers are everywhere in society nowadays."
Feeling Ling Chen’s concern, Leng Feifei felt a sweet warmth in her heart, as if she had tasted honey, and she nodded with a gentle smile, "I’ll be careful."
During the conversation, Leng Feifei couldn’t help but take a few more glances at Ling Chen.
She thought back to the last ti in the mall when Qi Jianhui had stopped her, it was Ling Chen who had stepped in to help her out. Then, when she was almost violated by Zheng Guangwu, Ling Chen had also saved her at the critical mont, allowing her to avoid a calamity. And now, once again, it was Ling Chen who had courageously stepped forward to rescue her in her ti of peril.
As an orphan who had suffered through painful foster hos, she thought she was all alone in the world. But the man before her seed like her guardian angel, always appearing by her side when she needed help the most.
If it were just once, Leng Feifei wouldn’t think too much of it, but this man had repeatedly co to her aid. She didn’t believe it was coincidental, but rather a fateful encounter decreed by destiny.
With these thoughts, the way Leng Feifei looked at Ling Chen suddenly shifted with an unusual emotional flutter.
However, at this mont, Ling Chen hadn’t noticed too much of that, his gaze constantly sweeping out the window, checking to see if Xia Mutong and the others had arrived.
Ten minutes later, Xia Mutong, having dealt with the casino incident, finally arrived at the port with a large entourage and an ambulance.
Along with Leng Feifei, there were a total of six girls who, with the aid of Ling Chen, were now safe and sound, shaken but with no other discomforts.
After handing the girls over to Xia Mutong, Ling Chen said goodbye to Leng Feifei and Xia Mutong and then drove back alone to Wealthy Manor.
Back at the Nanrong Family, Ling Chen didn’t go straight to the villa but headed instead to the wooden-structured villa. This villa was once the residence of Nanrong Wanqing’s parents, and since they had left ho, it had been sealed up, with no one entering it since.
But not long ago, Ling Chen accidentally discovered that Mr. Yun’s secret base was located in the basent of this villa. In order not to alarm the enemy, he had not taken any action but had been secretly surveilling the place.
Stepping into the pitch-dark villa, Ling Chen made his way to the basent with practiced ease.
In the brightly lit basent, several n were tied up, their mouths taped shut, and dumped in a corner.
On the other side, in front of a row of computer equipnt, a chubby man was tapping away at the keyboard, his eyes fixated on the files flickering on the screen, his expression one of deep concentration.
"Chubby, you must be hungry. Have so late-night snacks first." Ling Chen put the fast-food box he was carrying onto the table and said.
Since escaping from the island, after deep consideration, Ling Chen decided to turn passivity into proactivity. However, to take the initiative, sufficient intelligence was necessary. Hence, he had discreetly taken control of this secret base and had Hu Fei co over to help gather information.
Hu Fei specialized in this line of work; he knew best which information was valuable.
Seeing the food, Hu Fei imdiately abandoned his task at hand, opened a fast-food box, and began to wolf down the contents without any care for appearances.
Ling Chen knew Hu Fei had been exhausted these past few days. To gather more information before Mr. Yun discovered the exposure of this secret base, Hu Fei had barely rested, even developing dark circles under his eyes.
He opened a bottle of beverage and handed it to Hu Fei, asking, "Got any results yet?"
Hu Fei pointed to a computer against the wall and said, "That computer can connect to the God Organization’s main server, but it needs a login password. I’ve asked those guys, and only Mr. Yun knows the password. I’m still trying to crack it. If all goes well, we should have results soon."
"Thanks for your hard work."
"Forget it." Hu Fei imdiately waved his hand and said, "Please don’t be polite to . If you’re too courteous, I’ll feel too embarrassed to ask you for money."
"You rascal." Ling Chen couldn’t help but shake his head with a mix of laughter and tears.
As they spoke, the computer suddenly beeped loudly. Hu Fei’s eyes lit up. He threw aside the half-eaten fast-food box, hastily wiped the grease from the corner of his mouth, and rushed to the computer. Seeing the data displayed on the screen, he clapped his hands excitedly and exclaid, "We’re in!"
Ling Chen leaned over the computer screen, watching the scrolling folders, repressing the excitent in his heart and asked, "Can you copy them out?"
"Don’t worry, I’ve been prepared for this." Saying that, Hu Fei plugged a USB drive into the computer tower and tapped the keyboard. Soon, a progress bar popped up on the screen.
However, the data on the God Organization’s main server might have been too vast and the file sizes too large, several minutes passed, and the progress bar had only moved two percent. At this rate, it would take several hours to copy all the server’s data.
Beep, beep-beep!
At that mont, an irritating alarm suddenly sounded from an external device connected to the computer tower, and a red warning light flashed without stopping.
"This is bad!"
Hu Fei’s face changed, he frowned and said, "They’ve discovered us." Speaking, he furiously typed on the keyboard, his eyes glued to the rapidly switching data boxes on the screen, his expression grave.
