Chapter 599: Chapter 596: Pang Jiuling’s Phone Call

Returning to Changling City, Ling Chen brought Liu Dongsheng, Hu Fei, and Kaelina to meet up, and the four of them switched to a single vehicle, taking Jiang Yunkai and Bai Huanjun with them as they headed along the highway towards East Sea City.

Before departing, Ling Chen specifically instructed Hu Fei to prepare a large quantity of sedatives to prevent Jiang Yunkai and Bai Huanjun from regaining consciousness during the trip. With their current clouded minds, if they were to wake up, it was unknown how much trouble they could cause.

After more than ten hours of driving, Ling Chen and his companions finally reached East Sea City.

Without regard for their fatigue, Ling Chen drove straight to the Old City area. When they arrived at the courier company, Jiang Hao had already been waiting with his men at the entrance.

After getting out of the car, everyone helped to carry Jiang Yunkai and Bai Huanjun down, passing through the courier company, all the way to the backyard.

"Jiang Hao, have you prepared everything I asked you to?" Ling Chen inquired.

"Chen, rest assured. After receiving your call yesterday, I arranged for people to dig a big pit overnight. It’s been lined with soundproof panels and should suffice for temporary use," Jiang Hao assured.

Ling Chen nodded; he had confidence in Jiang Hao’s ability to get things done.

In the center of the courtyard was a two-meter wide hole, with a ladder placed inside. Around the hole, there were piles of freshly dug earth.

With the help of Liu Dongsheng and Kaelina, Ling Chen gradually moved Jiang Yunkai and Bai Huanjun into the hole. At the bottom of the hole was a roughly thirty-square-meter space, the floor covered with wooden boards, and soundproof panels erected all around, creating a closed-off room.

In one corner of the room, there were two makeshift beds put together.

Ling Chen placed Jiang Yunkai and Bai Huanjun on the beds, then used thick chains to bind their hands and feet, securing them to the beds.

"Fatso, you’re going to have to work hard for a bit, keep a close watch on them and don’t let them cause any trouble," Ling Chen instructed.

His greatest concern at the moment was Jiang Yunkai and Bai Huanjun; he’d already witnessed their destructive capabilities. Precisely for this reason, he had Jiang Hao dig out a dungeon underground, specifically to confine them.

"Don’t worry, leave it to me, nothing will go wrong," Hu Fei patted his chest, giving his word.

After a pause, Hu Fei changed the subject, asking, "Ling Chen, it’s not a long-term solution to just keep them locked up. We should think of a way to handle this."

"I’m aware of that. We’ll keep them locked up for a few days, then I’ll contact some people to come and help," Ling Chen replied.

Coming out from the dungeon, Ling Chen wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "These past few days have been tough on everyone, get some rest. Jiang Hao, seal up the hole, and you personally watch over it for me. This is no joking matter, no slacking off."

"Chen, I understand," Jiang Hao responded.

Leaving the courier company, Ling Chen did not go anywhere else, but instead, directly drove back to Wealthy Manor.

Entering the villa, Ling Chen saw that there was no one in the living room, so he went upstairs to the bedroom. As expected, both Su Lin and Nanrong Hao were in Nanrong Wanqing’s bedroom.

"Wanqing."

Looking at Nanrong Wanqing, who was half-reclining on the bed, Ling Chen felt an immense sense of heartache. He had thought that Nanrong Wanqing’s legs had completely recovered, but unexpectedly the old injury had relapsed. It was all his fault for not being able to protect her, letting her suffer so much for no reason.

Feeling the guilt in Ling Chen’s eyes, Nanrong Wanqing extended her hand and gently placed it on the back of his, softly saying, "It’s okay, I’ve long been accustomed to this kind of life."

"No, as long as I am here, I will not allow anything to happen to you. You should use that exoskeleton armor first..." As the words left his mouth, Ling Chen immediately realized that the exoskeleton armor specially made for Nanrong Wanqing had already been discarded at the base of the God Organization.

"Su Lin, stay at home with Wanqing these next few days, don’t go to the company for now," Ling Chen instructed. "I’ll figure out a way to get another set of exoskeleton armor."

Nanrong Wanqing asked worriedly, "Will they give it to us?"

Ling Chen replied with a smile, "Of course, they will. Don’t forget, we’ve signed a contract with them."

In reality, he only said this to comfort Nanrong Wanqing. If Lonely Wolf or the old General were still in charge, everything would be negotiable, but now it was Tang Guoxiong’s world. Moreover, he was a wanted criminal at the moment—should he show himself, Tang Guoxiong would definitely arrest him without mercy.

After coming out of the room, Ling Chen sat on the sofa in the living room, pondering over the next steps in his plan.

A trip to Beijing was definitely on the cards, not only for the old General, Han Bing, and Tang Yuan, but also for that exoskeleton armor. He had once discussed with Jiang Yunkai about setting up a special force, equipping everyone with exoskeleton armor.

However, while he possessed the technology to make the exoskeleton armor, he lacked the materials and could only ’borrow’ some from Lonely Wolf.

"Chen."

At that moment, Nanrong Hao ran down from upstairs, holding his phone and said, "Someone is looking for you."

"Looking for me?"

Ling Chen took the phone, greeted with a "hello," and asked, "Who’s this?"

"It’s me."

Hearing the familiar voice, Ling Chen immediately recognized the person on the other end.

Pang Jiulin, his former instructor at Phantom Special Forces, who later joined Lonely Wolf. When he went to Cyprus for a mission a while back, it was in cooperation with Pang Jiulin.

"Instructor Pang, how did you know Nanrong Hao’s number?"

"Your phone was unreachable, so I had to try other means to contact you. Anyway, that’s not important right now—you better leave Nanrong Family as soon as possible. Tang Guoxiong has sent members of Lonely Wolf to look for you."

"Where are you now?"

"I’ve just arrived in Yinan Village. The situation here is quite serious. Tang Guoxiong has led people into a conflict with the God Organization, and the casualties are heavy. All members of Lonely Wolf have been called back. However, based on the latest information I got, key members of the God Organization have already evacuated, only some small fish were caught. Tang Guoxiong is ordering a search of the base."

"I’ve just got home, how did he know I’m back in East Sea City?"

"Tang Guoxiong is cunning and deceitful, he has long planted spies in East Sea City. Anyway, be careful. Times have changed; Lonely Wolf has now become his sole domain, with no one to restrain him. And I’ve heard Tang Guoxiong has a strong backer; probably no one can touch him. The only way to bring him down is to find solid evidence." noveldrama

Evidence...

Hearing Pang Jiulin’s words, Ling Chen started to scheme.

"Ling Chen, there’s one more thing. Nanrong Yuan has woken up."

"Woken up?" Ling Chen asked eagerly, "When did this happen?"

"Yesterday. If it weren’t for the situation in Yinan Village, Tang Guoxiong would have already rushed back."

"Right! Instructor Pang, how are the old General and the others?" This was the question Ling Chen cared most about.

"The old General, Mr. Han, as well as Tang Yuan are all detained. Considering the old General’s merits, they don’t plan to punish him; at most, they’ll discharge him from military service and let him retire at home. But Mr. Han and Tang Yuan aren’t so lucky, especially Tang Yuan. He secretly transported government property, which is a severe crime, and Tang Guoxiong probably won’t let him off easily."
