"?" The person pointed at their own nose and replied with a smile, "I forgot to introduce myself. My na is Chen Quan. I wonder if you’ve heard of ."
Chen Quan?
The mont this na was ntioned, the expressions of Qiu Yong and the others changed imdiately.
Recently, Ling Chen had brought up the na ’Chen Quan’ several tis in their presence, so they had a very deep impression of it. Chen Quan, a master on the Heavenly List, had been imprisoned by the Heavenly chanism Pavilion for decades and had only recently escaped. They didn’t expect him to be involved in this operation.
At this mont, a few people began to step out from the crowd. Besides Chen Quan, there were several others. If Ling Chen were here, he would definitely recognize their identities.
Zhu Hong, Chu Huaiyang, Song Mingzhe. These were all Chen Quan’s followers.
Earlier, Qiu Yong and the others used the cover of smoke to attempt to rescue soone from Ji Gang’s grasp. Who would have thought that as soon as they charged into the crowd, they were stopped. Moreover, they were all injured in the process, losing the ability to act. Only now did they realize that the person who stopped them was Chen Quan.
No wonder! When a master on the Heavenly List takes action, how could they possibly withstand it?
After learning the identities of Chen Quan and the others, Qiu Yong sighed helplessly, a touch of bitterness in his clouded old eyes.
With two masters from the Heavenly List present, no matter how skilled they were, it was impossible for them to be a match for the other side. At this mont, Qiu Yong and the others instinctively turned their gaze to Xu Ming. Last ti, when facing Chen Guanghe, Xu Ming had easily defeated him. In their eyes, Xu Ming was undoubtedly synonymous with ’mystery.’ So, in such a critical mont, everyone hoped Xu Ming could once again display his mystery and strength.
However, facing everyone’s gaze, Xu Ming remained motionless. Seeing his reaction, Qiu Yong and the others couldn’t help but feel a bit disappointed; it seed they were dood this ti.
"Take them all down," Ji Gang waved his hand, issuing the command.
Soon, several mbers of the God Organization surged forward, tying up Qiu Yong and the others with specially made ropes.
anwhile, Ji Gang walked straight up to Lin Guodong and Lin Qiqi, and asked, "Mr. Lin, Miss Lin, are you both alright?"
Lin Guodong rubbed his sowhat sore shoulder and smiled slightly, "We’re fine. Mr. Ji, it’s thanks to your help this ti that we could escape unscathed. Thank you!"
"You’re too kind, Mr. Lin. I’m also a mber of the God Organization, and these are things I should do." With that, Ji Gang pointed to the captured Qiu Yong and the others, asking, "Mr. Lin, what do you plan to do with these people?"
Lin Guodong thought for a mont, then said, "Lock them up for now; don’t harm them. Ling Chen hasn’t returned yet, and they might be of great use."
"Yes!"
It’s over!
At this mont, in a dark alley outside the research base, Hu Fei, Yang Chen, and Wei Jiahao hid in the shadows, watching as Qiu Yong, Tang Guolun, Qin Genglong, and Kaelina were escorted to the vehicles, inwardly lanting the situation.
They had thought Qiu Yong and the others could use Lin Guodong and Lin Qiqi to rescue Tang Guolun and the others, but they hadn’t expected that not only did they fail to rescue them, they also got themselves captured.
"Hu, what do we do now?" Wei Jiahao asked worriedly.
Hu Fei scratched his head and replied with a bitter smile, "I have no idea what to do. Now we can only wait for Ling Chen to co back."
After a while, seeing all the vehicles of the God Organization drive away, Hu Fei imdiately called Yang Chen and Wei Jiahao, preparing to sneak back to the research base. They had left in such a hurry earlier that many valuable items were left behind. Now that Ji Gang and the others had left, it was ti to retrieve them.
However, before the three could get close to the research base, they heard a loud ’bang.’
In an instant, flas shot up to the sky, and the raging fire engulfed the entire base. Hu Fei and the other two, being too close, were instantly blown away by the shockwave, crashing into the walls of the surrounding buildings, and they imdiately lost consciousness.
...
Early morning!
At East Sea International Airport, Ling Chen opened the cabin door, stood at the entrance, stretched his lazy body, and breathed in the fresh air, feeling much more refreshed.
"Mom, we’re back." Ling Chen turned back, smiling at Yang Qingling behind him.
"Aren’t you going to help your grandparents down?" Yang Qingling reminded.
"Got it!" Ling Chen chuckled, turned back into the cabin. After a while, he helped two elderly people slowly walk out. These two elders were none other than Ling Chen’s grandfather and grandmother, Yang Yan and Gong iling.
Due to pressing ti, Hu Fei urged Ling Chen to return quickly. Unable to refuse, Ling Chen had no choice but to pick up his grandparents and head straight for East Sea City. Fortunately, the two elders were still in good health and were able to endure more than ten hours of plane travel.
Once off the plane, the Hongyu Group’s special car was already waiting outside the airport.
As the group got into the car, Nanrong Wanqing asked, "Shall we go back to Wealthy Manor first, or...?"
"Let’s go straight back," Ling Chen said. Yang Qingling initially wanted to take Yang Yan and his wife to stay at a hotel, but Ling Chen was adamant. He had finally found his family, and how could he bear to let them stay in a hotel? Besides, the Nanrong Family had plenty of places to stay.
"Mom, don’t worry about troubling Wanqing. Once I finish my business in a few days, I’ll accompany you to look at houses."
Yang Qingling nodded and said, "No rush. You handle your own affairs first."
As they spoke, the ringtone of Ling Chen’s phone rang.
Ling Chen thought to himself, it’s probably Hu Fei urging him again. He had told Hu Fei yesterday that he would arrive in East Sea City this morning.
Taking out his phone, Ling Chen was surprised to find that the caller was not Hu Fei, but Xia Mutong.
Strange! Why is Xia Mutong looking for him so early?
Answering the call, Ling Chen smiled and asked, "Officer Xia, do you need sothing from ?"
"You can still laugh,"
Upon hearing Xia Mutong’s cold voice, Ling Chen was slightly stunned and asked puzzledly, "Officer Xia, what’s wrong? What happened?"
"Don’t you know?" There was a hint of surprise in Xia Mutong’s tone. After a pause, Xia Mutong asked, "Where are you right now?"
"The airport, I just got back from abroad."
"No wonder. Your friends are in trouble. If it’s convenient, I suggest you check the news."
The news?
Ling Chen felt his heart sink, with an ominous premonition imdiately looming over him. Hanging up the phone, Ling Chen quickly turned on the in-car television and switched the channel to the news station. Soon, a live news report appeared on the screen.
"Dear viewers, in the early hours of last night, an explosion occurred in a residential building located in the city center region. Police are still investigating further, and the specifics regarding casualties and the cause of the explosion have not been disclosed..."
Watching the news with that area of residential buildings now reduced to ruins, Ling Chen’s face turned sowhat pale.
It exploded!
Then... what about Hu Fei and the others...
"Ling Chen." Nanrong Wanqing grasped Ling Chen’s hand, her face pale. She had been to the research base several tis, so she knew very well what the ruins in the news represented.
