The Beauty CEO's Personal Expert

"No need for formalities. If you need anything, I’ll be there to help you immediately." Zhu Xiaozhu hesitated for a moment and asked, "I heard your situation hasn’t been good lately?"

"Where did you hear that from?"

"Don’t forget, although I studied medicine, I’m still somewhat involved in the Martial Arts world, so I don’t lack information. As far as I know, the current leading force in the Martial Arts world is the Heavenly Dragon Sect, which destroyed the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion. Is someone trying to cause trouble for you because of what happened to your third brother?"

Ling Chen smiled slightly, saying, "Those in the Martial Arts world are either fighting others or being fought by others; no one can escape this cycle. The situation in the Martial Arts world is currently chaotic, and I can’t say for sure. But thank you for your concern anyway."

"If you need anything, just tell me, and I will help," Zhu Xiaozhu said. "Though I don’t know martial arts, I do have some connections and might be able to offer some help."

Ling Chen nodded, "I will." After speaking, he turned and entered the elevator. Watching Ling Chen disappear behind the elevator doors, Zhu Xiaozhu lightly bit her lip, clutching her clothes. A faint sadness flickered in her eyes, which were bright as stars. During her time in Beijing, she often found herself alone. Whenever she felt lonely, Ling Chen was the one she thought about the most.

However, when they met, she found herself at a loss for words despite having so much to say. Just like earlier, she wished she could spend more time with Ling Chen.

Leaving the hospital, Ling Chen and his group got into the car and drove straight to Dragon Tiger Hall.

Due to Yuan Yun’s situation, everyone remained silent, creating a somewhat oppressive atmosphere in the car. Ling Chen glanced at Qiu Yong, who was sitting in the passenger seat, and said, "Big brother, I’m sorry!"

Hearing this, Qiu Yong asked in confusion, "Why are you apologizing out of nowhere?"

"This time, it’s all my fault. If I hadn’t needed everyone’s help, our third brother wouldn’t have been harmed. I dragged everyone into this, so I should apologize to you all."

Sitting in the back seat, Xu Ming shook his head and said, "You don’t need to blame yourself; this has nothing to do with you. The Eight Peculiar People are united; your issues are our issues. When we first vowed brotherhood, we agreed to face difficulties together and share blessings. If we can’t face difficulties together, how are we brothers? Besides, you didn’t force us into anything; it was our choice."

"This time, the Dangyang Sect approached us, likely preparing to target Dragon Tiger Hall. They want to weaken our allies and diminish your strength. You’d better be careful; they might launch an attack soon."

"I know." Ling Chen replied, "I’ve already prepared defenses with Elder Tong. We’ve recalled elite disciples from all Dragon Tiger Hall branches, and Mr. He has brought people from Beijing. Now, all of Dragon Tiger Hall’s strength is focused in East Sea City. If they dare come, I will ensure they don’t return."

While talking, they arrived at the headquarters of Dragon Tiger Hall. Upon getting out of the car, Tian Hanzhong hurried over and urgently said, "Ling, something happened in Beijing."

"Beijing?" Ling Chen was slightly stunned, puzzled, "Everyone from the Beijing branch has been recalled; what could have happened there?"

"It’s not the Beijing branch; it’s your Ling Family," Tian Hanzhong quickly clarified. "We just received news that the Ling Family was attacked by a large number of unknown individuals, causing significant damage. We don’t yet know the specifics, but you’d better contact your parents."

Upon hearing this, Ling Chen’s expression changed dramatically, and he quickly took out his phone, dialing Ling Kun’s number. Shortly after, the call connected, and Ling Kun’s weak voice came through, "Hello! Son, what’s up?"

"Dad, are you all okay? I just heard that the Ling Family was attacked."

"You sure get news quickly." Ling Kun coughed a few times and said, "Don’t worry; we’re all fine, just a bit injured. We managed to drive those guys away."

"Dad, do you know who attacked?" Ling Chen asked solemnly.

"Not sure at the moment, but among them, there was a person whose strength was formidable; I couldn’t match him. It seemed they weren’t trying to kill us, just injure us on purpose."

"I understand. I’ll have Kai send people from Falcon Company to ensure your safety. Dad, take care of your injuries, and I’ll come visit when I can."

"No rush; take care of your matters over there. Don’t let anything happen so that your mom doesn’t worry."

After exchanging a few words, Ling Chen hung up and exhaled slowly. Beside him, Qiu Yong asked, "How are your parents?"

"They’re okay, just injured without any major casualties." Ling Chen frowned and said, "Whoever did this, it’s certainly linked to the Dangyang Sect, Heavenly Dragon Sect, and Dark Pavilion. They intentionally injured my father to prevent him from assisting Dragon Tiger Hall." Ling Kun is a Heavenly List expert—his addition to Dragon Tiger Hall’s defenses would greatly boost their strength.

"Big brother, you guys go rest; I have other matters to attend to." With that, Ling Chen drove straight to the base.

At that time, in the base’s control room, Hu Fei sat at the computer desk, crossing his legs, eating a hamburger, and watching small videos on the computer.

"Fatty!"

Hearing Ling Chen’s voice from behind, Hu Fei jumped in fright, hastily closing the video. Turning around to see the hurried Ling Chen, he complained, "What are you shouting for? You nearly scared me to death."

"Stop playing around; I’ve got business to discuss." Ling Chen said seriously, "Notify everyone to initiate Level Five Alert and prepare for action."

"Level Five Alert?" Hu Fei was shocked by Ling Chen’s words. He paused for a moment before finally coming to his senses and said, "Have you gone mad, talking nonsense?" As he spoke, he extended his hand to check Ling Chen’s forehead.

"Get lost." Ling Chen batted his arm away. "I’m serious; no jokes."

Seeing his serious demeanor, Hu Fei slowly put away his smile and asked, "Are you sure you want to do this? Don’t say I didn’t warn you; this is not a joke."

Ling Chen nodded, "Three forces are targeting Dragon Tiger Hall, ready to strike at any moment. Recently, my parents and elder brother were attacked; my father’s injured, and my third brother’s arm was severed. To handle this crisis, I’ve concentrated all our power in East Sea City. Now, I need to monitor the enemy’s every move to seize the opportunity."
