The Beauty CEO's Personal Expert

After leaving the church, Nanrong Wanqing stood up and asked Ling Chen, "Where is she?"

"Gone!"

Hearing this, Nanrong Wanqing slowly exhaled a breath, nodded gently and said, "It’s good that she’s gone, avoiding any awkward meetings. If I saw her, I wouldn’t know how to face her."

"How are you feeling now?" Ling Chen asked with concern, "Is there any part of your body that feels uncomfortable?" Earlier, he had people forcibly take Nanrong Wanqing away to send her to Bai Zhangqiu. Because he knew well that to completely resolve this issue, Nanrong Wanqing’s memory had to be recovered. So, he had Beison arrange for Bai Zhangqiu to rush over overnight. Additionally, even the equipment needed for the experiment was airlifted, loaded into a large truck, and followed them into action.

As he had foreseen, through the deep hypnotherapy experiment, they successfully awakened the sealed memories of Nanrong Wanqing.

"Except for a bit of a headache, everything else is fine."

"Brother Chen!" While speaking, a familiar voice came from not far away. Ling Chen and Nanrong Wanqing turned their heads and saw Nanrong Hao and Liu Kun quickly running towards them. "Haozi, why are you here?"

"I just found them in a house nearby. They were locked inside watched by security, so I rescued them along the way," said Zhang Zhongfeng, who followed them.

"Brother Chen, where is Grandpa?" Nanrong Hao asked urgently, "They took Grandpa, and I don’t know if he’s in danger."

"Don’t worry." Ling Chen smiled and said, "The old man was just drugged and controlled, no problem. They’ve already taken him to rest. By the way, who brought you all here?"

Nanrong Hao said helplessly, "My mom hired a group of people, sneaked into the Nanrong Family, kidnapped us, and then arranged a private jet to send us here. Sigh! It’s the first time I’ve seen my own mother kidnap her son. By the way... Brother Chen, Sister, where is my mom?"

"She already left." Nanrong Wanqing chimed in, "I made things clear with her, from now on, we’ll go our separate ways, and neither should disturb the other."

"That’s also good." Nanrong Hao sighed, "Life is more comfortable with just the three of us."

That day, Ling Chen stayed in the city with the others for one night for a short rest, and early the next morning, the group directly took a flight back to East Sea City. On the plane, Nanrong Wanqing and Ling Chen sat by the window, with no one around them front and back, everyone tacitly sat at the back.

"What did Zhu Hong say to you yesterday?" Nanrong Wanqing asked.

"Nothing much." Ling Chen replied offhandedly, "Just some harsh words."

"You’re lying to me again." Nanrong Wanqing rolled her eyes at him, "Do you really think I heard nothing?"

"Alright alright! I’ll tell you, okay? He wants to settle things with me, just that simple. Actually, it’s what I’ve always hoped for, the grievances between us run too deep, sooner or later there will be a fierce battle, either he dies or I live. The sooner this is resolved, the sooner I can be at ease."

"Do you have confidence?"

Ling Chen shrugged and said, "You shouldn’t ask the question like this. Neither Zhu Hong nor I have one hundred percent confidence; there are too many uncertainties, we can only see who is better prepared." Saying this, he looked at Nanrong Wanqing and smiled slightly, "You don’t need to worry too much, since I dare to take up the challenge, naturally, I’m not afraid of losing."

"Be sure to stay safe yourself, I’ve already lost one family member, I don’t want to lose you too."

After a couple of hours of flight, the plane finally landed at East Sea International Airport. Leaving the airport, a special car from Hongyu Group was already waiting outside. "You go back to rest first, I’ll visit you another day." Ling Chen said.

Nanrong Wanqing nodded in response, without saying much, and followed Nanrong Yong and Nanrong Hao into the car.

After watching the Nanrong Family depart, Ling Chen got into the Dragon Tiger Hall’s vehicle, only to see Tian Hanzhong in the passenger seat turn his head and say, "Brother Ling, should we go directly, or return to Dragon Tiger Hall first?"

"Let’s head there directly; that matter can’t be delayed." As he spoke, everyone in the car began taking out their weapons and making preparations.

Before the plane landed, Ling Chen received a call from Hu Fei, reporting that members of Netherworld Snake had appeared in East Sea City and their location had been locked. Since they left Qiu Nanshan, quite some time had passed. During this period, Netherworld Snake and Dark Pavilion hadn’t shown up, and it was unknown where they went. For this, Ling Chen had specifically dispatched personnel to Beijing to secretly monitor the movements of the Su Family. Since He Honggang and Chen Younian had aligned with Su Cheng’en, perhaps some clues could be obtained through Su Cheng’en.

However, after the last operation, Su Cheng’en hadn’t returned to the Su Family and had gone missing. If his guesses were correct, these three were likely researching the Soul Stone at some secret location. So, after discovering traces of Netherworld Snake, he was eager to figure out what tricks those guys were playing.

After more than half an hour’s drive, the group finally arrived at the destination.

Getting out of the car, Ling Chen surveyed the area and saw a house and a warehouse not far ahead, with a few commercial vehicles parked outside. Besides, the nearest houses were fifty meters away, so if a fight breaks out, it shouldn’t attract attention from outsiders.

"Brother Tian, how many people are inside?"

"About ten to twenty, but I’m not sure about their distribution."

Ling Chen nodded and instructed, "Brother, you take people to rush directly into that house, I’ll handle the warehouse. Let’s end this quickly; if they offer strong resistance, don’t show mercy, kill them all!"

Qiu Yong answered and left Zhang Zhongfeng outside to provide support, then charged towards the house with other brothers. Seeing them almost reaching the side of the house, Ling Chen didn’t hesitate, leading Tian Hanzhong and other Dragon Tiger Hall disciples straight to the warehouse.

At the warehouse door, Ling Chen gave Tian Hanzhong a look, who understood immediately, gripped the door handles of the warehouse with both hands and pushed forcefully to the side. As the door opened, Ling Chen charged straight in, his eyes scanning the interior of the warehouse quickly. Instantly, he saw several men gathered around a machine, fiddling with something.

Seeing Ling Chen and the others burst in, the faces of the opposing team changed, hurriedly grabbing nearby tools to prepare for a fight. However, these men were too weak in combat, there was no need for Ling Chen to act, Tian Hanzhong and a few others were enough to handle them.

After ending the warehouse fight, Ling Chen walked directly to the machine and examined it closely. Soon, he was surprised to find a small dark green shard inside the machine. The shard was small, about the size of a fingernail, fixed inside the machine. It seemed to be providing power to the machine.

Below this machine was a sharp gear facing the ground. Ling Chen pressed a switch beside the machine, and the gear started spinning at high speed, quickly drilling a half-meter deep pit in the ground. The pit was not too big or too small, just enough to accommodate an adult.

What are these guys doing with this thing here? Ling Chen thought to himself, a hint of doubt flashing across his face. Could it be that the Netherworld Snake people were planning to dig a hole here?
