Chapter 678: Chapter 678

Lin Chen flamed with a fierce look in his eyes when he heard Redhead's words, then suddenly pulled out an iron rod from his lackey's hand and walked toward Su Ha.

"You, what are you going to do?" Su Ha's face suddenly changed.

Redhead didn't bother conversing with Su Ha, instead he raised the rod and started beating him.

After all, Su Ha had some training, and in front of Sophina Corporation's entrance, the two engaged in a fierce fight to the death.

Although Su Ha was trained, Redhead, who had been living a dangerous life, played for keeps, and his strength was not to be underestimated at that moment.

Soon, both men were covered in scars; finally, Redhead caught Su Ha off guard and struck his leg with the rod.

Su Ha stumbled and fell to the ground, and taking the opportunity, Redhead pounded him with the iron rod like rain.

Soon, Su Ha was drenched in blood, his arms and legs gruesomely broken.

"Mr. Lin, can you forgive me now?" Redhead panted.

Lin Chen nodded; "Okay, I can pretend this incident never happened."

Seeing that he was forgiven by Lin Chen, relief washed over Redhead's face: "Thank you, Mr. Lin, thank you. If you need me in the future, just say the word, even if it means going through fire and water, I will not hesitate."

Ba Fei at one side finally breathed a sigh of relief; he had personally experienced how formidable Lin Chen was.

"Mr. Lin, it's all our fault today, from now on, we'll take charge of Sophina's security. If anyone dares to cause trouble on your company's turf, I, Ba Fei, will not spare them."

Lin Chen's gaze turned cold: "Okay, since it's the first time, I will forgive you. But if it happens again, I will show no mercy."

Seeing this, Lin Chen turned to Sophina: "President, are you satisfied with this outcome?"

Sophina was somewhat stunned at this point; just what kind of person was Lin Chen, seemingly a master of both the underworld and the legitimate world.

She nodded and addressed the other executives: "Is there anyone else who wants to remove Director Lin from his post?"

"Director Lin is a safeguard of company security; how can we dismiss him!"

"Having Director Lin in the company is truly a blessing for us!"

Those executives who had just criticized Lin Chen all expressed their support.

"President Sophina, since the position of deputy director is vacant, I would like to recommend someone," Lin Chen said.

"Who?" Sophina asked.

"Hei Ta, he has been a long-standing employee of the company, and he is competent and honest. I hope he can assist me," Lin Chen said calmly.

The security guards who were present didn't expect Lin Chen to nominate Hei Ta as the deputy director, especially since Hei Ta had just deliberately picked a fight with Lin Chen.

Sophina glanced at Hei Ta, who was standing next to Lin Chen, and after a moment of thought: "Alright, I agree to your request, have him report to HR later."

At that moment, Hei Ta looked surprised and held immense respect for Lin Chen.

"Director Lin, thank you," Hei Ta said gratefully as he approached Lin Chen.

"You deserve it," Lin Chen said with a slight smile.

Then, Lin Chen said to the other security guards: "You all did well today, dinner is on me tonight."

Upon hearing someone was treating, the guards cheered and leaped with joy.

Lin Chen had nothing much to do for the rest of the day and chatted with Zhao Xiaohua and a few other beauties in a WeChat group.

Now, the injuries on Xiaowen had completely healed, but she remained in deep sleep.

"I can't wait any longer, I must find clues to the Life Stone as soon as possible."

Thinking this, Lin Chen dialed Xu Jiayi's mobile phone.

"Jiayi, what did you mean last time when you said you had a lead on the Stone of Life?"

Xu Jiayi spoke, "We received intelligence that in a small town called Bagu in Country T, an organization called the Heitin Church has suddenly appeared. It's said to have already gathered tens of thousands of followers, who claim they can resurrect the dead."

"Resurrect the dead, how is that possible?" Lin Chen asked, somewhat astonished.

According to our information, although there has been no case of resurrecting the dead, they have revived killed animals during church ceremonies, so we feel this must be related to the Stone of Life.

"Alright, I understand. I'll take a trip to Bagu Town soon to see if it's really related to the Stone of Life," Lin Chen said gravely.

Lin Chen hung up the phone and noticed it was time to leave work.

As he left the office, Hei Ta and the others were already standing at the door waiting for him.

Lin Chen smiled and said, "Today, I'm paying, choose the place you guys want, don't worry about the expense, I've got plenty of money."

The skinny one smiled mysteriously, "Director Lin, we've already booked the place, let's go!"

The group arrived at a roadside stall, some traveling by car and others by taxi.

Seeing the place, Lin Chen was stunned for a moment, having expected that these guys would have him treat them at a five-star hotel and charge him a hefty sum. Instead, they chose a roadside barbecue place.

Hei Ta smiled and said, "We're all simple people here, we're not used to fancy places; we prefer places roadside stall."

Lin Chen nodded, "Alright, brothers, today let's have our fill of meat and enough drinks."

The group ordered a large number of kebabs and more than ten cases of beer, starting their meal together.

Everyone was having a great time eating, and although their language was somewhat crude, it all came with a sense of frankness.

However, it didn't take long for them to experience Lin Chen's tolerance for alcohol. Although the security guards kept toasting him, Lin Chen did not refuse any, proving to be unflappable no matter how many drinks he had.

It wasn't until late into the night that the gathering ended. After seeing everyone off, Lin Chen's gaze fell on a shadow behind him, a smile curling on his lips.

Lin Chen took a cab and, after giving the address, he closed his eyes to rest.

Considering Lin Chen's drinking capacity, he should not have been drunk, but soon he fell into a deep sleep.

The driving girl took off her mask, a barely concealable smile appearing in her eyes.

"Hmph, in the end, you've fallen into my hands," she muttered.

The car sped along, soon driving into a somewhat dilapidated small building.

The girl struggled to carry Lin Chen, making her way upstairs somewhat unsteadily.

"This guy is really heavy," the girl muttered, somewhat speechlessly.

What truly annoyed the girl was Lin Chen's hand, resting awkwardly in front, unintentionally always bumping against her chest, causing her cheeks to turn red.

Finally, the girl reached the door of a unit and rhythmically knocked a few times.

At that moment, the door opened, and a beautiful woman walked out from inside.

"Milly, who is this?" Mina asked seeing her carrying a man back.

Milly said with pride, "This man is the one I was assigned to assassinate last time."

"You, why did you bring him back?" Mina chided.

Milly smiled and said, "Last time this guy caught me but let me go, so this time we've brought him back for interrogation. Didn't you say our Heting Church needed strong men? Well, let's have him join."

"Alright, but what about his abilities? And his character?" Mina asked.

Milly replied, "Stronger than me, and his character should be okay, I suppose!"

However, thinking back on how this guy had harassed her, Milly suddenly had deep doubts about Lin Chen's character.
