Chapter 601: Chapter 601

The sniper's face suddenly changed, searching through the scope for Lin Chen's figure.

"Damn it, where did that bastard run off to?" the sniper's expression grew increasingly ugly.

"Stop looking, I'm right here!" Just at that moment, an icy voice sounded from behind the sniper.

The sniper's face turned deathly white, "How is this possible? When did this guy get behind me?"

Without hesitation, the sniper twisted his body and pulled the trigger at the same time.

However, no gunshot followed; waiting for him was a clenched fist swinging toward him.

With a muffled sound, the sniper was knocked to the ground by a punch, his sniper rifle falling to the floor. Before he could react, Lin Chen's hand was already gripping his throat.

"Who are you, and why did you ambush me?"

The sniper, with blood dripping from the corner of his mouth and a detached look in his eyes, actually revealed a sneer of contempt.

"Don't bother, I won't talk."

Lin Chen let out a cold laugh, "In my hands, no one can refuse to answer my questions."

Looking at the icy smile on Lin Chen's face, for some reason, it seemed devilish, giving off a chilling sensation.

Lin Chen's fingers swiftly tapped several acupoints on the sniper's body.

Soon, the sniper understood what a devilish smile meant.

As Lin Chen's fingers left his body, the sniper felt an intense itching all over, as if countless insects were crawling on his skin. Eventually, waves of excruciating pain spread from various parts of his body, feeling as if devoured by countless biting insects, unbearably painful.

He tried to scratch with his hands, but his whole body felt as if drained of strength, utterly unable to move; he tried to yell but couldn't make a sound, as Lin Chen was gripping his throat.

Lin Chen watched the sniper teasingly, lightly saying with a smile, "Kid, how do you like that feeling? Ready to answer my question now?"

The sniper, tormented by pain as if being at death's door, didn't last a few minutes before he started nodding incessantly.

This inhuman torture was simply more unbearable than death; he now wished Lin Chen would just kill him on the spot.

Finally, Lin Chen loosened his grip and lightly tapped a few points on his body.

Strangely, the bone-gnawing pain vanished without a trace just as swiftly as it had appeared.

Now, the sniper was pale, beads of sweat the size of beans continuously dropping, gasping for air as if he had just returned from hell.

"Speak, remember you only have one chance; otherwise, the pain you just experienced was merely a warm-up. You will quickly learn what it means to wish for death over life," Lin Chen spoke indifferently.

The sniper, wary of Lin Chen, hastily said, "I am a disciple of the Heting Cult; we were ordered to kill anyone who enters this place."

The sniper hurriedly spoke, unable to imagine the pain if it intensified; the memory of death being preferable to such torment was too much to bear, so he dared not conceal a thing.

"The Heting Cult, what have you done at this pharmaceutical plant, and where has the plant been moved to?" Lin Chen asked urgently.

"This, I cannot say," the sniper's eyes showed a terrified look.

"Won't talk? Fine, it seems you haven't had enough of the taste just now." Saying this, Lin Chen raised his fingers.

"No, please, I'll talk, I'll talk!" The sniper's face changed suddenly upon seeing Lin Chen's raised fingers.

"This pharmaceutical plant is used to..."

Just as the sniper was about to confess, a bullet came speeding toward them.

Lin Chen's face changed; there was still a sniper concealed here, and what shocked Lin Chen more was that he hadn't detected the other's presence at all.

Dodging swiftly, Lin Chen evaded the bullet, but it hit the sniper right in the head without missing a beat.

Lin Chen's eyes flashed, and he saw a shadow already rushing out of the warehouse.

"Qima!" Lin Chen was shocked and hurriedly followed the shadow out.

Fortunately, Qima was safe and sound inside the car, and Lin Chen finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Did you see anyone come out just now?" Lin Chen asked anxiously.

Qima shook her head: "No, I didn't see anyone just now."

Lin Chen called Qima and turned back towards the warehouse, and sure enough, the wounded assassins inside all had a bloody streak on their necks, having been silenced just now.

Damn, to think we'd fallen for the enemy's diversion tactic.

"Black Court, stirring up troubles in Huaxia last time, and this time extending their evil claws to T country, what exactly do they want to do?"

Lin Chen called Qima in, and the two of them found the power supply and turned on the factory lights.

The entire factory was in disarray, it must have been relocated not long ago, what was even more shocking was the bloodstains all over the ground, like a slaughterhouse.

"These can't all be human blood, can they!" Qima exclaimed in horror.

Lin Chen rubbed his finger on the ground and nodded: "You guessed right, this is human blood."

"Ugh!" Hearing Lin Chen's words, Qima couldn't help but retch, almost throwing up on the spot.

"What the hell have these bastards done here?" Lin Chen's eyebrows knitted tightly together.

Suddenly, Lin Chen heard a beeping sound, faint yet recognizable with his extraordinary perception.

Lin Chen's face changed dramatically, it was the countdown sound of a bomb.

"Run!" Lin Chen didn't explain; he grabbed Qima and rushed out.

The moment they dashed out of the factory, there was a loud boom behind them, and the entire factory turned into a sea of flames.

"Such ruthless methods." If Lin Chen had come out just a moment later, he and Qima would have been buried in the fire.

Not far away, a figure stood on a tree, her long hair fluttering in the wind, her beautiful yet ice-cold face revealing a cold smile: "Kid, you're lucky this time, but you won't be so fortunate next time."

With a cold laugh, that woman disappeared in an instant.

Watching the flames reach for the sky, the expressions on Lin Chen and Qima's faces turned ugly.

The leads they had just found had been cut off in an instant!

Following the explosion, police sirens began sounding not too far away.

Lin Chen glanced at the approaching police car lights and said with a smile, "You handle the rest. I'll borrow your car and go ahead."

Saying this, Lin Chen got into the car, stepped on the gas, and roared off.

Watching the car's tail lights, Qima stamped her foot in anger: "This jerk, causing trouble and then leaving me to clean up the mess."

In the car, Lin Chen checked his phone, which had over a dozen missed calls, all from Pan Jing.

It was then that Lin Chen remembered he had a duel scheduled with Pan Jing tonight.

After connecting the call, Pan Jing's anxious voice came through: "Lin Chen, where are you?"

Lin Chen smiled: "I'm on my way."

Pan Jing said, "The location has changed, it's at the Manshi Stadium, you must come!"

"Well well, making such a big deal out of it, it seems they're quite confident!" Lin Chen's mouth curved slightly, and he floored the gas pedal, heading straight for Manshi Stadium.
