Chapter 942: Chapter 947: Turning Against Each Other (Part 2)
Back in the Audi, Nanrong Hao looked at the grim-faced Ling Chen and asked, "Chen, what happened?"
Jiang Hao chimed in, "Chen, just now all the lights at the garbage station turned on, what’s going on?"
"Alright, stop asking so many questions. Haozi, first drive Jiang Hao back."
Seeing Ling Chen speak up, Nanrong Hao said no more, immediately starting the car and heading towards the Old City.
On the way, Ling Chen held his phone, opened a file, and browsed through its contents. After reading the task Lin Guodong left for him, Ling Chen’s expression became somewhat serious.
If he really followed Lin Guodong’s instructions, even if he saved Xia Yue and Kaelina, he would ruin himself.
As he pondered, the Audi arrived in the Old City. Watching Jiang Hao get out of the car, Ling Chen instructed, "These days, gather your men and be ready at any moment. And don’t forget to guard against Zhao Zhengxiong. If he knows you’ve been released, he will definitely cause trouble for you." After speaking, Ling Chen turned to look at Nanrong Hao in the driver’s seat and said, "Haozi, get off with Jiang Hao. You call a cab to go back later, let me use the car first."
"Chen, where are you going? Why don’t I take you there?"
"Why so many questions." Ling Chen waved his hand and said, "Hurry up and get off, don’t waste my time."
Nanrong Hao dared not ask more, obediently surrendered the car. Switching to the driver’s seat, Ling Chen started the car and drove straight to the roadside without a word, soon disappearing into the thick night.
After half an hour, Ling Chen parked the Audi by the roadside, then took out his phone and dialed a number.
Before long, a person walked out of a nearby house. That person limped, his steps seemed a bit staggered, swaying from side to side as if he could fall at any moment.
And behind that person, two figures followed from afar, hiding in the dark corners.
At this moment, the person in front had already reached the roadside, standing under the dim streetlight, waiting for a taxi. The two figures following from behind were stealthily observing, ready to approach at any moment. Just then, a taxi approached from not far away.
The man standing under the streetlight quickly waved his hand and stopped the taxi. Seeing the man about to get in the car, the two figures hiding in the darkness immediately rushed over. However, before those two could dash out of the shadowy corner, they were intercepted by a sudden figure.
Before the two could react, only two muffled groans were heard, and two people had already collapsed in the corner.
Watching the taxi gradually disappear, Ling Chen stepped out from the dark corner, not stopping for a moment, and headed straight for the nearby residential house.
Before long, Ling Chen arrived at the temporary command center. Although it was late at night, the command center was still brightly lit, everyone diligently working. The large office was filled with the aroma of coffee.
Seeing Ling Chen walk in from outside, Ren Qing, who was guiding work at the computer, immediately looked up, coldly staring at Ling Chen.
Facing Ren Qing’s icy gaze, Ling Chen acted as if he didn’t see, proceeding to the office. Seeing Ling Chen ignore her, Ren Qing frowned slightly, stepping in front of Ling Chen to block his way, asking, "Where have you been today?"
Ling Chen replied indifferently, "Miss Ren, I am free to go wherever I want, this doesn’t seem to be within your jurisdiction, right?"
"Fine, then tell me, why did Hu Fei leave just now?"
Ling Chen shrugged, "He’s an adult, free to come and go as he pleases, although he works for me, I don’t restrict his movements. Miss Ren, don’t you think you’re overstepping your boundaries?"
Hearing this, Ren Qing felt an urge to smash a fist into Ling Chen’s head.
"Ling, let me tell you, don’t get too full of yourself."
"Ha!" Ling Chen sneered, "Miss Ren, who here has the nerve? I have seven or eight years of combat experience with the God Organization, and I’ve been on the front lines killing enemies, with not a few dozens, maybe two or three hundred God members dead by my hands, what basis do you have to compare with me? If you think sitting in an office and giving a few commands can easily dismantle the God Organization, then I can only say you’re naive and too childishly optimistic."
"Ling Chen, you..." Ren Qing said with an ugly expression, "Shut up!"
"Miss Ren, to be blunt, even if you all combine, you don’t know the God Organization as well as I do. So, no matter how great your skills are, you’d best drop your arrogance in front of me. To me, you’re only playing house, and can’t grasp how brutal this battle truly is."
After being rebuked by Ling Chen, Ren Qing felt her anger swell, really wanting to slap him. But recalling Ling Chen’s capabilities, Ren Qing had to suppress her impulse. She took a deep breath and said through gritted teeth, "Have you finished? Since you have, then you can leave. Ling, let me tell you, from now on, you are no longer welcome here. I’ll speak to Mr. Zhang myself, and bear any responsibility. But I never want to see you again. Now, disappear from my sight."
"Miss Ren, you seem to have forgotten what Mr. Zhang said before he left, that this temporary command center is under my control for now, you are merely a subordinate, what right do you have to tell me to leave? If anyone should leave, it’s you. Now, kindly roll out and stop bothering me, you just irk me."
"You... you..." Ren Qing pointed at Ling Chen’s nose, her beautiful eyes blazing with anger, so furious she couldn’t speak.
"What do you mean what." Ling Chen took over Ren Qing’s words, coldly saying, "Don’t point at me, I warn you, I don’t like people pointing at my nose, I see it as a challenge."
"Fine, very fine!" Ren Qing said angrily, "Ling, I want to see how capable you are. Men!"
As her words fell, several burly men in suits immediately rushed over.
Seeing those security personnel watching aggressively, Ling Chen said indifferently, "Miss Ren, seems your memory isn’t great, did you forget the fate of those before? Or do you feel you have excess funds to send to a hospital?"
Ren Qing stepped back two paces, coldly looking at Ling Chen, saying, "I know you’re skilled, but no matter how skilled you are, today you will get caught by me." After speaking, she gestured to those security personnel.
Immediately, those security personnel simultaneously reached for their waists, pulling out black pistols.
Facing the dark muzzles, Ling Chen’s gaze hardened, a hint of surprise appearing in his eyes.
