"Alright, Little Hua, you haven’t taken your dicine today. Let’s go, I’ll take you to get your prescription," Zhu Xiaozhu cut off Little Hua’s words and pulled her out of the room. She was afraid Little Hua would talk nonsense in front of so many people. She knew this little girl very well. Although she seed young, she was actually quite the little devil.
After Zhu Xiaozhu and Little Hua left, Ling Chen asked, "Mr. Ye, is Little Hua unwell?"
"She had so complications at birth, so she needs to take dication long-term to maintain her health." After explaining, Ye Liangyong glanced at He Ziyun, stood up and said, "Master, Ling Chen, please sit. I have sothing to take care of and need to step out." With that, he walked towards the door.
However, he hadn’t gone far before his cellphone started ringing.
He picked up the phone, and though it was unclear what was said on the other end, his expression turned ugly imdiately.
Seeing Ye Liangyong return to the room, Ling Chen asked, "Mr. Ye, what happened?"
"I was planning to visit the police station to see that suspect, but they just called to say that the suspect was murdered in the detention room, killed by three stab wounds."
"What?" Ling Chen was shocked; the suspect was actually murdered in the police station. Whoever did it was not only audacious but also highly professional, otherwise, how could they co and go freely within the police station without leaving a trace? He faintly recalled that when the kidnapper was captured earlier that day, the man had begged Ling Chen to kill him, saying that a failed mission ant a certain death. Additionally, the kidnapper kept ntioning ’them’.
Although he didn’t know who ’they’ referred to, based on his experience, they were likely a mysterious organization. In this world, many criminal organizations followed a rule: if a mission fails, one must not be captured, even in death. If the rule was violated, elimination was guaranteed. If the offender had a family, the organization wouldn’t spare their family mbers either.
Once, a person he had been acquainted with t such a fate. Captured for a failed operation, that person was not only assassinated but their family was also killed and their bodies discarded in the wilderness—an unbearably grueso end.
After staying at the Martial Arts Academy for half an hour, Ling Chen thought of matters at ho and after saying goodbye, he drove back alone.
After sending Ling Chen off, Ye Liangyong returned inside and called out all the other junior brothers, leaving only himself and He Ziyun. He closed the door, sat in front of He Ziyun, and furrowed his brows slightly, "Master, what should we do now?"
He Ziyun let out a sigh, "I never thought that after all these years, they would still find this place. Liangyong, you are well aware of how dangerous those people are, and this matter won’t be easy to resolve."
"How about... we move to a more secluded place?"
"That’s useless. If they could find this place, it ans they are watching our every move. Besides, where can we hide? They would eventually find us. Liangyong, so things are inescapable. I’m old; life or death doesn’t concern . It’s just... Your junior brothers are still young, I don’t want them to lose their lives for my sake."
Ye Liangyong nodded, "I understand what to do now. I will make arrangents to transfer everyone to Beijing as soon as possible."
"Yes, you take care of the junior brothers’ safety. As for and Little Hua, don’t worry about us. We will stay here to attract their attention."
"Master, should we ask for Ling Chen’s help? He’s highly capable, maybe..."
"I know." He Ziyun smiled faintly, wisdom shining in his cloudy old eyes, "I am more aware of Ling Chen’s background than you. Actually, many things are predestined. Ling Chen wants to start anew and leave his past behind, but what he doesn’t know is that once certain things are involved, they can never be escaped. Now, go on down. I would like so quiet."
"Yes, Master."
...
The next morning, as usual, Ling Chen sent Nanrong Wanqing to her company and then sneaked off to Wei Jun’s office. As soon as he entered, he saw Wei Jun hurriedly shove the magazine he was holding behind his back.
"Big Brother Wei, hiding sothing nice?"
"It’s you, kid, you startled . I thought Captain Zhong was coming." Wei Jun sighed with relief, showing the magazine from behind his back without any reservation. "Little Brother Ling, I just picked up this Playboy from a street stall; want to take a look?"
"Foreign chicks? Not interested." Ling Chen waved his hand. He wasn’t into those foreign blondes with blue eyes, he preferred dostic beauties. He liked the type with a delicate figure and a touch of elegance. It wasn’t that he didn’t like Nanrong Wanqing’s type, but the won he fancied more seed more realistic, whereas Nanrong Wanqing was too dreamy, seemingly untouchable. Compared to her, he found Zhu Xiaozhu’s gentle temperant more appealing.
"Little Brother Ling, you have no taste. These gals are great; they’ve got the curves where it counts, totally energetic."
"Energetic indeed, but I’m afraid you can’t handle it."
"Who says I can’t. Let tell you, once they experience my ’skills,’ no woman can resist ." Wei Jun boasted proudly. Then, he leaned in towards Ling Chen and whispered, "Little Brother Ling, are you free tonight? I’ll take you out for so fun."
Ling Chen understood what he ant and shook his head, "Forget it, don’t count in for that. I don’t have the spare cash or the interest."
Wei Jun sighed, "Brother, I thought you were one of us."
While they talked, Zhong Wei walked into the office, "Ling Chen, looking for you. Soone’s outside asking for you, says they’re your friend."
"My friend?" Ling Chen muttered to himself. He had only a few friends in Zhonghai City; could it be Jiang Hao?
While he pondered, he went straight to the company’s lobby. Instantly, a young man sitting on a sofa caught his eye.
The young man was one ter eighty-seven tall, with a slim figure, slightly gaunt cheeks, short hair, and looked quite spirited. Seeing the man, Ling Chen was imdiately taken aback, filled with confusion. How could this guy be here?
Then, the young man also noticed Ling Chen and smiled, striding over quickly.
"Brother, long ti no see." He said, opening his arms and giving Ling Chen a solid hug. They patted each other on the back vigorously, expressing the joy of their reunion.
"Tang Yuan, what brought you here?" Ling Chen was pleasantly surprised. The young man in front of him was his forr teammate back in the Ghost Organization, and they were close. After leaving the organization, he hadn’t been in touch with any of the mbers because that was the rule. He hadn’t expected to see a forr comrade again today.
