The Beauty CEO's Personal Expert

Not long after, several large buses arrived at the toll station on the highway. "Stop!" Ling Chen stood up from his seat and walked straight to the door. Seeing this, Qiu Yong asked, "Sixth Brother, where are you going?"

"I have some things to take care of. You go back first, I’ll fly back to East Sea City and meet up with you later." After saying this, Ling Chen opened the door and got off.

Watching the convoy gradually leave, Ling Chen hailed a taxi by the roadside and returned to the city district of Jin Hai City. By now, it was nearing midnight, and the spacious streets were deserted with few people around. Ling Chen walked alone on the street, while making a phone call to Hu Fei.

The people sent to follow up have yet to be heard from, and Ling Chen was somewhat worried, wanting to find their whereabouts as soon as possible. Unfortunately, no one answered their phones, so he could only ask Hu Fei to find a way. After more than ten minutes, Hu Fei called back.

"How is it? Did you find them?"

"It seems something has happened." Hu Fei’s tone was not good. "I just checked their car license plate, initially planning to use road surveillance equipment to find them. However, I just saw a message from the traffic system: a car had an accident, and all three people inside died."

"An accident?" Ling Chen frowned and asked, "How could they have an accident?"

"I checked the police investigation report; those three people seem to have died not from the accident. They have several wounds on their bodies, all fatal, as if beaten to death by someone. Also, there are signs of struggle before they died, indicating they weren’t killed in the car but were murdered, and their bodies were moved into the car to simulate the accident scene. I guess their whereabouts were exposed, hence they were silenced. Who did you ask them to follow?"

"I’m not sure who was in the car, but if my guess is correct, Nanrong Wanqing should have been in that car." Saying this, Ling Chen seemed to recall something, "Right! I remember the car’s license plate, help me check it."

"Alright."

...

At this moment, outside an abandoned landfill on the outskirts of Jin Hai City, a sedan slowly drove to the gate. After stopping, the car lights flashed three times, and immediately a figure appeared inside the landfill, slowly opening the gate.

Entering the landfill, the sedan drove all the way forward until it reached the landfill’s center. There, a Rolls-Royce was already parked, waiting for the counterpart’s arrival.

Seeing the sedan stop, the Rolls-Royce door was opened from inside, and then Jiang Yue’e got out. Behind her, Yang He popped his head out as if wanting to get out too, but she stopped him.

Carrying a password-protected box, Jiang Yue’e walked straight to the middle of the two cars. Meanwhile, two people got out from the sedan, one was Nanrong Wanqing and the other a middle-aged man in a suit. The middle-aged man escorted Nanrong Wanqing, slowly walking towards Jiang Yue’e, stopping about two meters away, quietly looking at her.

"Mom." Seeing Jiang Yue’e, Nanrong Wanqing softly called. Jiang Yue’e smiled slightly, comforting her: "It’s alright, you’ll be safe soon." After saying that, her gaze went past Nanrong Wanqing and the middle-aged man, directly looking at the sedan. In the front passenger seat of the sedan sat someone whose features were indistinct behind the car window, only a blurry shadow was visible.

"I’ve brought what you want. Can we complete the transaction now?"

"Rest assured, I won’t go back on my promise." A deep voice came from inside the car: "Let my people check first. As long as the goods are fine, you can leave immediately, and I guarantee I won’t trouble you afterward."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yue’e said nothing more, directly placing the password box on the ground, then entering the password and stepping back several steps. Seeing this, the middle-aged man immediately stepped forward, picked up the password box. He opened the lid, finding inside a sphere wrapped in black cloth, his expression gradually becoming solemn. Then, he carefully unwrapped the black cloth.

When the black cloth was completely removed, the item inside was finally revealed. It was a sphere, about the size of a softball, its surface covered with dense patterns, seeming rather ordinary, such decorations could be seen everywhere.

However, the middle-aged man always used the black cloth to hold the sphere, not daring to touch it directly. After examining it for a few moments, he picked up the sphere, turned around and returned to the car, passing it through the window to the person sitting in the front passenger seat.

After a while, the deep voice spoke again: "The item’s fine." Though only a few words, his tone had visibly changed compared to earlier, carrying a tinge of satisfaction and joy.

"So are we free to leave now?" Jiang Yue’e said coldly.

"Of course! I keep my word, and I won’t trouble you in the future, but..."

Jiang Yue’e’s face tightened and she said sternly: "But what?"

"I hope you’ll consider my proposal. You’re very talented, why live as an ordinary person? If you collaborate with me, we’ll create an unimaginable future."

"No need, I don’t want to end up like the God Organization, with nothing in the end."

"The God Organization? Hmph!" the person inside the car sneered, "What qualifications do they have to be compared with us? The God Organization’s people are a bunch of idiots, thinking they’ve uncovered the world’s greatest secret, while they’ve only brushed against the surface. I didn’t target them back then because their research posed no threat to us. Plus, with Ling Chen that young fellow messing around, he saved me a lot of trouble. However, although Ling Chen is capable, he’s too emotional, never considering the maximization of benefits. You might not know, but just recently, he led people to attack the secret base in Jin Hai City. It’s been so long with no news from that side, he most likely succeeded."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yue’e’s expression changed slightly, asking, "Aren’t you going to do something?"

The person inside the car chuckled lightly, "What do you want me to do? Seek revenge on him? No need for that. Secret bases like the one in Jin Hai City are insignificant to me, no amount of destruction affects me. As long as this item is in my hands, the future belongs to me. Compared to that, other matters are insignificant."

"Then I wish you success in advance." After saying this, Jiang Yue’e gestured to Nanrong Wanqing, who immediately ran to her side in understanding. The middle-aged man beside merely watched, showing no intention of stopping them.
