"I underestimated you."
Hu Fei helplessly shook his head. They had been careless, initially believing that the God Organization’s influence was confined to Yinan Village, but now it seed the situation was not so simple, as even the surrounding towns were likely infiltrated by the God Organization. Hence, their presence was exposed as soon as they arrived.
At this thought, an inexplicable horror filled Hu Fei’s heart.
The God Organization must have been operating in this locale for decades, otherwise, their influence wouldn’t have penetrated so deeply.
Wu Jun smiled and said, "It’s not that you underestimated, it’s that you do not understand the God Organization. Otherwise, you wouldn’t have made such foolish decisions."
"Where is Miss Nanrong being held?" Kaelina asked.
Upon hearing this, Wu Jun sized up Kaelina with a playful smile: "Miss Kaelina, I think you should be more concerned about your own safety right now. You were lucky to escape last ti because your life was spared by chance. If I were you, I’d have found a deserted place to hide long ago, unlike you, who actually ca here seeking death."
After speaking, Wu Jun’s gaze swept over Bai Huanjun and Jiang Yunkai. When his eyes landed on Liu Dongsheng, he asked with interest, "I know the others, they have more or less so connections with Ling Chen. What about you? Why are you muddying the waters here?"
Liu Dongsheng answered indifferently, "For friends."
"Friends?" Wu Jun laughed out loud, "I too was once for my country, for my friends, but what did I end up with? Endless life-threatening missions only earned so worthless dals that can’t be shared with outsiders, completely useless. I used to live for others, but now I’ve learned to live for myself."
"Enough talk. What are you planning to do with us?"
Wu Jun glanced at Kaelina who had spoken and said, "Originally, I planned to kill you directly, but you’re lucky, we’ve just discovered a new technology and need test subjects. You’ll have the honor of witnessing the miracle."
"Take them away and lock ’em up."
...
Sunrise, the dawn sky afla like fire.
Ling Chen looked out at the distant sea level, took a deep breath, relaxing his body and spirit, savoring the essence of nature.
Right then, a ship appeared on the calm sea, slowly moving towards him.
Ling Chen stood up, observing the gradually approaching ship, and quickly made his way towards it.
Coast Guard boat!
When Ling Chen recognized the symbol on the boat, his expression froze. Why would a Coast Guard boat co to such a place?
As he wondered, Ling Chen suddenly noticed soone at the bow of the boat waving, faintly hearing a voice calling his na.
Who could it be?
Ling Chen looked intently, but the Coast Guard boat was too far away to clearly see the person’s features, he could only tell by the voice that it was a woman.
Due to the shallow coast, the Coast Guard boat couldn’t co closer and stopped dozens of ters away at sea. Shortly after, a motorboat launched from the Coast Guard boat and headed straight for shore.
When the motorboat drew closer, Ling Chen could finally see who was on board.
Xia Mutong.
It was her!
As the motorboat reached the shore, Ling Chen hurried forward, his face filled with surprise and exclaid, "Officer Xia, what brings you here?"
"It’s to find you," Xia Mutong said with teary eyes.
Since that day after eting with Su i, Xia Mutong felt displeased by Su i’s attitude and thus contacted the police in Jinhai City to ask them for assistance in searching for Ling Chen.
Over the past few days, she had been searching along the coastline by boat. Hard work pays off; she finally found Ling Chen.
Seeing Ling Chen safe and sound in front of her, Xia Mutong angrily asked, "You’re fine, why didn’t you return? Do you know how many people are worried about you?"
Embarrassed, Ling Chen touched his nose and said, "I’m sorry for making you worry."
In fact, he had wanted to return to East Sea City long ago, but Su He wouldn’t allow him to leave. Moreover, he rarely got the opportunity to be ntored by a master, and he wanted to learn more, which is why his return was delayed for so many days.
"Officer Xia, did sothing happen that you ca to find ?" Ling Chen asked.
He felt it strange in his heart. He had thought of many possible people who would co to find him but never expected Xia Mutong. Thus, he guessed if sothing might have happened in East Sea City.
Xia Mutong said irritably, "Can’t I co to find you if there’s nothing wrong?"
"No, no, no," Ling Chen quickly waved his hand saying, "That’s not what I ant."
"Alright, you hurry up and pack up and co back with . I got a ssage the day before yesterday, Miss Nanrong has disappeared."
"What?" Ling Chen’s expression changed.
"Wait for , I will co right away." After speaking, Ling Chen quickly rushed into the house.
At that mont, Su He was inside the house, cleaning the fish that had just been caught. Seeing Ling Chen rushing in, without waiting for him to speak, Su He pointed to a bottle on the table and said, "That is the dicine I prepared for you. Take it three tis a day, for two or three days. Your injuries won’t cause major issues."
"Elder Su..."
"Enough, you don’t need to say anything. Just go back, and don’t co looking for anymore. I’ve taught you all I can. Whether you can comprehend it is up to you."
"Elder Su, thank you!" Ling Chen said gratefully.
Su He waved his hand, not saying much more, and continued with his tasks.
Having secured the bottle, Ling Chen turned and walked to the door, then turned back, bowed deeply to Su He, and then pushed the door open and left.
Back on the boat, Ling Chen borrowed Xia Mutong’s phone to call Bai Huanjun. Bai Huanjun was responsible for secretly protecting Nanrong Wanqing’s safety, and since she was missing, he should be the most inford.
However, after dialing the number, there was no response for a long ti.
Ling Chen frowned, and then dialed Hu Fei’s number. But the result was the sa; all showed that the phones were turned off. After so thought, Ling Chen entered Nanrong Hao’s phone number.
"Hello! Haozi."
"Chen?" Hearing Ling Chen’s voice, Nanrong Hao imdiately exclaid excitedly, "Chen, we finally got news from you, we were almost worried to death."
"Alright, never mind that, where is Wanqing?"
"Big Sister disappeared; it’s been several days with no news. Chen, you should hurry back, everything here is in chaos."
"Don’t panic, tell clearly how exactly Wanqing disappeared."
"I heard from my cousin that a man nad Wu Jun ca the other day. He said he was your comrade-in-arms. He told Big Sister that you had been seriously injured and it wasn’t convenient for you to co back, and he would take Big Sister to see you. Worried about your safety, she didn’t even think and just agreed to go with him."
Wu Jun!
Hearing this na, Ling Chen’s pupils shrank, and a raging fury instantly surged from the bottom of his heart.
