However, no matter how much Ren Qing resisted, she was no match for Yang Qingling and was firmly subdued.
After struggling for a while, Ren Qing finally gave up resisting, lying quietly on the ground, motionless. "Mom, let her get up," Ling Chen stepped forward and said.
Yang Qingling nodded, grabbed Ren Qing’s shoulder, and pulled her up from the ground.
"Miss Ren," Ling Chen looked at Ren Qing and said, "Aren’t you being too naive? Do you really think you could capture all by yourself?"
Hearing this, Ren Qing stared coldly at Ling Chen, gritting her teeth, her eyes filled with venomous hatred. Facing Ren Qing’s icy glare, Ling Chen said calmly, "You don’t need to look at like that. I have no grudge against you and really don’t want to cause you trouble. Unfortunately, I gave you a chance to retreat safely, but you insisted on staying."
"Cut the crap," Ren Qing said through clenched teeth, "Since I’m in your hands, do whatever you want, kill if you like."
"You’re not afraid to die?" Ling Chen said with a faint smile, "Alright then! If you want to die, I’ll fulfill your wish." Saying so, Ling Chen picked up the handgun that had fallen to the ground, removed the magazine, counted the bullets inside, leaving only one, and threw the rest to the ground.
Reloading the bullet into the chamber, Ling Chen pulled the slide and directly aid the muzzle at Ren Qing’s forehead. Feeling the cold muzzle, Ren Qing couldn’t help but close her eyes tightly, her whole body tensed, trembling slightly beyond control.
"Miss Ren, I originally intended to spare your life, but you chose death yourself, so don’t bla !" As his voice fell, Ling Chen’s finger gently pulled the trigger.
Perhaps sensing Ling Chen’s action, Ren Qing’s face turned deathly pale, and tears squeezed out from the corners of her eyes.
"Goodbye, Miss Ren!"
"No! Don’t!"
As soon as Ling Chen’s voice sounded, Ren Qing imdiately scread. She clasped her head in her hands, fell to her knees with a thud, and burst into tears.
"Please, don’t... don’t kill . I... I don’t want to die."
Hearing Ren Qing’s plea for rcy, Ling Chen put away the gun in his hand and said, "I thought you really weren’t afraid to die. Miss Ren, I hope you learn a lesson from this; fear of death is not just sothing you say lightly."
"Ling Chen," Nanrong Wanqing asked softly, "how do you plan to handle her?"
Ling Chen pondered for a mont, took out his phone from his pocket, and dialed a number. After a while, the call connected, and a cheerful voice ca from the other end: "Hello, Mr. Ling!"
"Mr. Zhang, sorry to disturb you."
"Mr. Ling, you are too polite. I actually wish you would co disturb more." Joking a bit, Mr. Zhang asked, "Is there sothing Mr. Ling needs from ?"
"There is sothing here that only Mr. Zhang can help handle, so I’m afraid I’ll have to trouble you." After a pause, Ling Chen continued, "Mr. Zhang, Ren Qing is one of your subordinates, right? Earlier, she broke into my house ard, held my family hostage, and threatened . I’ve subdued her now. I thought about it and decided it would be best to hand her over to you."
"Qing?" Mr. Zhang’s voice was sowhat heavy.
"Mr. Ling, I’m very sorry. I apologize for what Qing did and hope you won’t take it to heart. Moreover, I’d like to clarify that I had already ordered Qing to leave East Sea City, but she defied my orders and insisted on staying. I’ve been trying to locate her all this ti."
"Mr. Zhang, you don’t need to explain; I understand what you an. Rest assured, I know this wasn’t your doing, so I won’t hold it against you."
"That’s good to hear." Mr. Zhang breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile, "Mr. Ling, our last cooperation wasn’t able to proceed smoothly. I hope we have the opportunity to work together again in the future."
"No problem, whenever there’s a suitable opportunity, I’ll definitely reach out to you."
After a bit of casual chat, Ling Chen hung up the call, looked at Ren Qing, and said, "Wait here. Mr. Zhang will send soone to pick you up."
"You... you..." Ren Qing asked incredulously, "Why... why are you..."
"Why what?" Ling Chen replied, "Are you wondering why Mr. Zhang didn’t co after ?"
Ren Qing silently nodded. She couldn’t quite understand why, when Mr. Zhang had initially agreed to her capturing Ling Chen, his attitude had now changed.
"Miss Ren, that’s why I said you’re too naive. So things aren’t as simple as you think. In Mr. Zhang’s eyes, I am soone with value. Similarly, he is the sa in my eyes. So, as long as things aren’t too excessive, neither of us will take it too seriously. Miss Ren, I wonder if you can understand what I’m saying? If you can’t quite grasp it, let put it simply. From the current situation, I have more value than you."
Upon hearing this, Ren Qing knelt dumbfounded on the ground, montarily lost.
Not long after, the people sent by Mr. Zhang arrived at the Nanrong Family ho. Watching Ren Qing being taken away, Ling Chen retracted his gaze, turned to Yang Qingling, and said with a smile, "Mom, I didn’t expect your skills to be so good."
Back when they were abroad, Ling Chen had witnessed Yang Qingling’s marksmanship, which was absolutely accurate and impressive. Besides marksmanship, Yang Qingling’s combat skills were also comndable. Back then, to evade the Ling Family’s pursuit, Yang Qingling had hired professionals for training, and her skills could rival those of a special forces soldier.
"Alright, stop flattering . Son, be cautious when you’re out there. After everything that’s happened, I’m really worried about your safety," Yang Qingling said with concern.
"Mom, don’t worry. I know how to take care of myself."
As they spoke, Ling Chen’s pocket suddenly rang with an incoming call. Taking out his phone and seeing the caller ID, Ling Chen walked aside to answer it, asking, "Boss Tang, what’s up?"
"Nonsense, if there was nothing, why would I call you? Hey, where are you now? If you have ti, co back to the base quickly. I’ve made a significant discovery."
Ling Chen asked curiously, "What kind of significant discovery?"
"Why ask so many questions? You’ll find out when you get here." With that, Tang Guolun directly hung up the call.
This guy... always mysterious, leaving wondering what kind of significant discovery it is, Ling Chen mumbled. Nevertheless, Tang Guolun had piqued his curiosity, and unable to resist, Ling Chen greeted Nanrong Wanqing and Yang Qingling before driving off to the base.
Half an hour later, Ling Chen drove his Audi into the underground parking lot. Reaching the lowest level of the parking garage, he parked his car and headed straight to a corner storeroom. Opening the door, he saw a three-ter-wide and over two-ter-high passageway behind the storeroom. At the mont, more than a dozen staff mbers were busy installing a blast door.
