In less than half an hour, Ling Chen arrived by car on the central avenue of the Central District. Checking the ti, Ling Chen got out of the car, leaned against the car door, and surveyed the surroundings.
It was just nine o’clock in the morning, the street bustling with people walking to and fro, shoulder to shoulder and packed with heads. This was the Central District of East Sea City, the most prosperous area of the district, with towering buildings everywhere.
The half-hour that Lin Guodong had agreed upon had already passed, yet he still hadn’t called. Ling Chen parked the car and grabbed a coffee from a cafe by the roadside, and also bought two egg pancakes.
Early in the morning, he was busy checking the news online and hadn’t had breakfast yet. He wasn’t sure what Lin Guodong would ask him to do later, but he decided to fill his stomach first.
With the two egg pancakes down, it was already nine forty. Ling Chen fiddled with his phone, his brow slightly furrowed. Lin Guodong had clearly said he’d contact him once he arrived. Yet, so much ti had passed and the phone remained silent.
"Could that bastard be ssing with ?"
Ling Chen thought to himself. Just then, he spotted a car convoy slowly approaching not far away, maintaining a speed of sixty kiloters per hour as it proceeded along the road.
When the convoy passed by, Ling Chen paid extra attention. The convoy had a total of six cars, with the front two and back two being escort cars carrying security personnel, while the middle two were vehicles for VIPs.
The two Rolls-Royces in the center had reflective glass windows, making it impossible to see inside.
However, the convoy’s configuration suggested that soone wealthy was inside. If they were governnt officials, there would definitely be a police escort. At this mont, the convoy continued along the street, gradually slowing down.
Because this was a busy urban area, the most bustling part, with a lot of pedestrians and traffic, the convoy had to stop waiting for the road ahead to clear.
Suddenly, Ling Chen’s phone rang.
Taking out his phone and seeing the caller ID, Ling Chen raised his eyebrows, seemingly guessing sothing, and imdiately answered the call.
"Ling Chen, do you see those cars in front of you? That’s your target for today."
"Who are the people in the car?"
"You don’t need to know. Don’t worry, I’m not asking you to kill anyone, just want you to help seize an item. According to the information we have, soone in the car is carrying a tal briefcase. I don’t care what thod you use. In any case, you must get that tal briefcase." With that, Lin Guodong directly hung up.
Putting away his phone, Ling Chen sighed helplessly. It was exactly as he had guessed, Lin Guodong’s request was precisely what he expected. But thankfully, Lin Guodong wasn’t asking him to kill anyone. Otherwise, he’d have no idea what to do.
tal briefcase!
Ling Chen squinted his eyes, staring at the two Rolls-Royces not far away, secretly calculating how to proceed.
Right now, he didn’t know who was in the car, nor was he sure in which of the Rolls-Royces the tal briefcase was located. Moreover, he was completely unfamiliar with the security details of the convoy, which undoubtedly increased his risk.
As his thoughts raced, the people and traffic blocking the convoy gradually thinned, and the convoy’s speed began to increase.
Watching the convoy getting further away, Ling Chen didn’t have much ti to think; if he missed this opportunity, who knows when he’d get another chance to act. As his thoughts raced, Ling Chen moved his legs and quickly sprinted towards those cars.
Soon, Ling Chen had caught up and positioned himself in front of the two Rolls-Royces.
Swish!
With a swish, Ling Chen’s wrist flicked, and the coffee cup in his hand flew out abruptly, smashing onto the windshield of the Rolls-Royce in front.
Unfortunately, if it were a regular windshield, Ling Chen might have been able to shatter it with his skill and the coffee cup. But the Rolls-Royce used bulletproof glass, leaving him with no option.
The coffee cup shattered on the windshield, spraying coffee all over both sides, obstructing the driver’s view. Seeing this, Ling Chen didn’t wait for the driver to clean the windshield, and swiftly rushed towards that Rolls-Royce.
In the blink of an eye, Ling Chen was up close.
Steeling his fists, Ling Chen gritted his teeth and gathered Hua Realm strength. With a ’clang’, the glass on the car’s passenger door shattered instantly. Breaking the glass, Ling Chen thrust both hands inside, forcefully dragging out the suited man in the passenger seat and tossing him on the ground. By this ti, the Rolls-Royce driver finally reacted, hurriedly stepping on the brake and trying to accelerate forward to escape Ling Chen.
However, the street was crowded, the road congested, with vehicles ahead blocked, moving at a snail’s pace. Thus, as soon as the driver accelerated, the Rolls-Royce bumped into the rear of the car in front with a loud ’bang’. In an instant, the Rolls-Royce’s hood emitted thick smoke.
Seeing the car stop, Ling Chen smiled secretly. Lucky enough! As his thoughts raced, Ling Chen peered into the car, searching for the tal briefcase. However, inside the Rolls-Royce were two middle-aged n, and there was no sign of a tal briefcase.
Could it be in the other car?
Upon this thought, Ling Chen prepared to move towards the other Rolls-Royce. But just as he took a step, the Rolls-Royce’s rear door suddenly opened, blocking his path. Following this, the two middle-aged n in the back seats stepped out, gazing at Ling Chen calmly.
These two people... Feeling their gaze, Ling Chen suddenly felt a strong sense of crisis.
The two middle-aged n in front appeared harmless, their eyes as tranquil as an ancient well, showing no emotion.
Yet the more this was the case, the more it indicated that these two middle-aged n were far from simple.
"Gentlen, could you please make way?" Ling Chen took the initiative to speak.
"Friend, for an Earthly List master to perform such a robbery, it’s an undeserving act for your status," one middle-aged man said. "Seeing that we’re all peers from the Martial Arts world, as long as you stop now, we won’t make things difficult for you."
Ling Chen thought for a mont and asked, "Can you tell who is sitting in the car behind?"
The two middle-aged n glanced at each other and spoke lightly, "It’s better if you don’t know."
"Is that so?" Ling Chen looked at the two with an enigmatic smile. Their words only fueled his curiosity more. Who could be so mysterious that even their identity must remain hidden?
"What about you two?" Ling Chen changed the topic and asked, "Surely your identities aren’t as secretive, are they?"
