Ling Chen was also stunned, right! He didn’t even know what Chen Quan looked like. How could he find him? He vaguely rembered that when he first t Chen Quan at Yangxin Pavilion, the man was filthy, worse than a beggar, his face covered in dirt, making his features indiscernible.
When he spoke with Su i on the phone just now, Su i said nothing, probably she too didn’t know what Chen Quan looked like.
"Hey! Fatty, how’s that matter going?" Ling Chen asked. He referred to the information extracted from Lin Guodong’s cellphone, Hu Fei was locating people through communication data, and it was unknown whether there had been any progress.
Hu Fei nodded and said, "Your arrival is tily, I was just about to find you." As he spoke, Hu Fei handed a printed docunt into Ling Chen’s hands.
"These are the confird nas so far, nine people in total, four dostically and five abroad, all scattered in different places." After saying this, Hu Fei paused and gestured for Ling Chen to look at the list of nas.
Ling Chen casually flipped through it and the more he looked, the more shocked he beca. On Hu Fei’s list, several were people from Huaxia frequently seen on TV news.
"Fatty, these people..."
Hu Fei grinned and said, "Yep, they are all connected to the God Organization. To be honest, if I hadn’t verified it myself, I wouldn’t believe it. Look, which of these isn’t a billionaire? They are all well-known and successful entrepreneurs, philanthropists dostically, but they still have dealings with the God Organization, which is truly unbelievable. Ling Chen, have you ever thought about why these people would have connections with the God Organization?"
Ling Chen shrugged and said, "How would I know? I’m not them. Alright, stop guessing. Now that the targets are locked, bring them back imdiately." He paused and added, "Rember, bring them back ’secretly’, make sure no one knows, especially don’t expose our identities. I don’t want to invite a mountain of trouble."
"Rest assured, I’m the best at this kind of thing," Hu Fei said, thumping his chest in assurance.
"That’s best." Ling Chen’s worries were not unfounded. Everyone on the list was a renowned businessperson, a billionaire, and moreover, they all had relationships with the governnt. Wealthy people generally take their personal security very seriously, with protection standards almost comparable to those of governnt or even national leaders, surrounded by experts.
Therefore, capturing these individuals without startling them would indeed not be an easy task.
"Fatty, if it really doesn’t work out, let the big brother help."
Hu Fei waved his hand, "No need to bother them, I’ve already had suitable candidates."
"Is that so? Then it’s..." Ling Chen initially wanted to ask Hu Fei who he had chosen. But before he finished, Ling Chen realized who Hu Fei was referring to. There was no one else who Hu Fei would trust so confidently and be so self-assured about, other than Liu Dongsheng.
Liu Dongsheng, the world’s renowned king of killers back in the day, Blood Tiger. With him taking action, it was indeed foolproof.
Knowing Hu Fei’s choice, Ling Chen finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Alright, you go on with your work, I won’t disturb you."
After leaving the office, Ling Chen went back to his bedroom alone. Since learning about Chen Quan from Su i, Ling Chen had been unable to calm down.
Zhu Hong saw him as a thorn in his side, wishing he could kill him imdiately. If Chen Quan ca to East Sea City, with Chen Quan’s help, Zhu Hong would certainly beco unrestrained. What was more, Chen Quan was a master of the Heavenly List, while he, albeit surrounded by masters from the Earthly List, did not have even a single master from the Heavenly List, which was undoubtedly a fatal weakness.
Thinking of this, Ling Chen felt an imnse headache, uncertain of what to do.
While he was contemplating, there ca a ’knock knock knock’ at the door.
"Please co in."
As the sound of his voice fell, the bedroom door was pushed open from the outside. Before the person entered, Ling Chen already slled a faint fragrance and couldn’t help but stand up from his chair.
Seeing the person coming in, the corners of Ling Chen’s mouth lifted slightly, and he greeted with a smile, "Xiyao, what brings you here?"
"It’s dinner ti, and today I specifically cooked so dishes for you."
"Really?" Ling Chen rubbed his hands together, looking at the several dishes that looked and slled appetizing, and imdiately gave a thumbs up, praising: "Xiyao, your cooking skills are impressive."
Liu Xiyao gave a faint smile, "You haven’t even tasted it yet, how do you know it’s good? You can’t judge sothing just by its appearance."
Hearing this, Ling Chen’s eyes sneakily glanced at Liu Xiyao’s towering chest and said with a grin, "I usually look at the inside, just like with you, Xiyao."
"Like ?" Liu Xiyao asked puzzled, "What about ?"
"Nothing... nothing," Ling Chen chuckled, quickly ending that topic, and reached out to grab so chopsticks, "Xiyao, you haven’t eaten yet, right? Co, let’s eat together, don’t let these dishes go to waste."
Liu Xiyao was well-prepared, not only bringing food but also a bottle of liquor.
"I wanted to prepare a bottle of red wine, but all we had in the base was liquor, so you’ll just have to make do with this."
"That’s fine," Ling Chen said with a smile. "If I had to choose, I’d rather drink liquor. Red wine is for those with taste, soone crude like feels more comfortable with liquor." Saying this, Ling Chen picked up two cups and asked, "Xiyao, do you want to try?"
"This..." Liu Xiyao hesitated, then nodded, "Okay, just a little bit, not too much, I can’t handle much alcohol."
"The alcohol content isn’t high, it’s fine." As Ling Chen spoke, he poured half a glass for Liu Xiyao.
Although it was liquor, the quality was not bad, and it felt very smooth on the palate without any burning sensation. Before they knew it, the bottle was already empty.
After the last glass was finished, Ling Chen put down his cup and looked at Liu Xiyao, who was sitting across from him, appearing slightly stunned.
At this mont, Liu Xiyao’s half-filled cup had also been nearly emptied, and probably because of the effects of alcohol, her pretty face was exceptionally red, her eyes looked dazed, and her body was swaying, seemingly unable to sit steadily.
"Xiyao," Ling Chen, fearing that Liu Xiyao might fall, quickly walked over, held her tender shoulders, and steadied her body.
"Xiyao, are you alright?"
Liu Xiyao touched her forehead and gently shook her head, "I’m fine, just a bit dizzy." As she spoke, Liu Xiyao braced herself on the table, trying to stand up from the chair.
However, before she could fully stand, her body tilted to the side. If Ling Chen hadn’t been holding her, she might have collapsed on the floor.
Seeing her drunken state, Ling Chen inwardly gave a wry smile, surprised that Liu Xiyao’s tolerance for alcohol was so poor.
