Chapter 698: Chapter 698
The night was quietly still when a business sedan quietly left the Xia household.
A smile teased at the corner of Lin Chen's mouth as he quietly followed.
About an hour later, the business sedan drove into an old warehouse by the seaside.
The business sedan stopped, and Old Xia, along with several bodyguards carrying a leather suitcase, walked in.
Lin Chen parked the car by the roadside, and then he used his invisibility skill to quietly enter the warehouse.
Under the dim light, a young woman sat in a red chair.
She wore a modern tube dress, with a daring cleavage that seemed ready to burst forth. Below the red slit skirt were two long, snow-white legs extending out, exuding sexiness. Her S-shaped figure, slender waist, wavy hair, and seductive face that could drive any man insane; she was a siren, one who could enchant any man.
Old Xia, holding the leather suitcase, was staring at the woman across from him, his eyes filled with fear.
"Pan La, it's been so many years, why can't you let me go, even extending your evil claws toward my daughter?" Old Xia said angrily.
Pan La let out a cold laugh, "Old Xia, our cooperation used to be so enjoyable. Why did you pull out halfway? We're almost at the harvest. If you wish, you can come back anytime," said Pan La with a seductive smile.
"No, I will not return. You are all devils," Old Xia shouted.
"Old Xia, think carefully. Isn't every advancement of humanity accompanied by sacrifice? Don't be stubbornly mistaken. Come back to our father's embrace," said Pan La, caressing her hair and smiling.
"Dream on, I will not return. This suitcase has what you want. From now on, we owe each other nothing. Please, do not disturb my life any longer." With that, Old Xia opened the suitcase and took out an old, yellowed notebook.
Pan La, with a smile, approached Old Xia and said coldly, "Actually, you have no choice, Old Xia. You know too many of our secrets. Since you don't want to return to our father, there's only one outcome for you."
As she spoke, Pan La suddenly appeared in front of Old Xia, her delicate hand reaching for his throat.
Old Xia's face changed dramatically; he had never anticipated that what she wanted was not just the notebook, but his life too.
However, just as Pan La's hand was about to clutch Old Xia's throat, suddenly a pair of hands appeared out of nowhere, tightly grasping her wrist, rendering her immobile.
Pan La's face changed, her wrist twisted, and a dagger appeared in her hand, stabbing towards the suddenly appearing Lin Chen.
Lin Chen quickly let go of Pan La's wrist and, in an instant, grabbed Old Xia's shoulder and retreated four or five meters.
Old Xia, seeing the suddenly appearing Lin Chen, was first startled, then his eyes filled with a hint of joy.
"Lin Chen, take this notebook, you must get it out of here," and with that Old Xia tried to hand the notebook to Lin Chen.
When suddenly, a corpulent figure rushed over, heading straight for Old Xia.
The four bodyguards behind Old Xia rushed forward, trying to stop the fat man.
But in a single confrontation, the four bodyguards were torn in half.
Lin Chen's face turned pale; he was about to shield Old Xia with his body when Old Xia pushed Lin Chen aside.
"Lin Chen, run! You must take this notebook with you. Qingqing and Ruoyu are in your hands now." As the words fell, Old Xia violently tore open his shirt, pulled the pin of the explosives strapped on him, and charged at the fat man.
"Old Xia, no!" Lin Chen wanted to intervene, but it was too late.
Catching the notebook thrown by Old Xia, Lin Chen had no choice but to make a hasty retreat.
With a loud explosion, the entire warehouse collapsed.
The warehouse was in complete disarray, Pan La stood up from the debris, while the corpulent figure had been blasted beyond recognition.
It was strange that he didn't die, instead, he staggered to his feet with his mutilated body.
At that moment, he looked terrifying, with only half of his head remaining and a large bloodied hole blasted open in his stomach.
"It hurts, it hurts so much!"
The fat man kept moaning, yet his body was miraculously healing itself, and soon it restored to its original state, as if he hadn't been injured at all.
Pan La stood atop the ruins, her arm also blown off, and suddenly a red light flashed past, and the broken limb likewise returned to its former state.
Watching the jeep, now reduced to a black dot in the distance, Pan La revealed a cold smile, "Lin Chen, it's you again, this time you've truly angered me."
Lin Chen drove the car at breakneck speed, heading straight for the Xia family.
At that moment, the Xia sisters were still asleep. Seeing Lin Chen, they were taken aback.
Xia Ruoyu asked curiously, "Lin Chen, what brings you here?"
Lin Chen, with no time to explain, simply said, "Quick, get dressed and come with me."
"What's happened, where are we going, shouldn't we at least tell daddy?" Xia Ruoyu said.
"Your father has already left, we must go now!" At that moment, Lin Chen saw the headlights of cars rapidly approaching from the window.
Xia Ruoyu and Xia Qingqing, seeing Lin Chen's tense expression, also instantly sensed the danger.
However, Xia Ruoyu broke free from Lin Chen, "Wait a second, I need to get something from my bedroom."
A few minutes later, Xia Ruoyu ran out clutching a small box.
By the time Xia Ruoyu got into the car, those vehicles had already reached the front door.
Lin Chen floored the accelerator and charged out.
The people inside the cars, seeing a vehicle suddenly burst out of the courtyard, knew for sure it contained the people they were after and pursued relentlessly.
"Bang, bang, bang!" Gunshots continued from behind, Lin Chen expertly maneuvered the car, weaving through alleys and laneways, finally losing the cars chasing them.
"What on earth has happened?" Xia Qingqing asked anxiously.
Lin Chen let out a sigh, "Ruoyu, Qingqing, your father is no more."
"What?" Hearing Lin Chen's words, Xia Ruoyu and Xia Qingqing were stunned.
"Where did my father go? Did he go abroad?" Xia Qingqing asked Lin Chen, perplexed.
Lin Chen clenched his teeth and said, "Your father self-detonated, perishing along with a group of villains."
Hearing Lin Chen's words, the two sisters broke down crying.
Lin Chen's heart was filled with guilt; the situation had escalated so suddenly that even he hadn't expected the old man to be so resolute, taking his enemies down with him.
On the road, Lin Chen called Xu Jiayi and booked a direct flight to Huaxia for the two sisters.
"The enemies will surely seek wild revenge. The Xia sisters can no longer stay in Country T. Huaxia is the safest place," Lin Chen thought to himself.
After seeing the two onto the plane, Xia Ruoyu suddenly handed Lin Chen the brocade box she had retrieved from her bedroom.
"Lin Chen, this is something my father left behind. He said that if anything happened to him, I should entrust it to someone reliable," said Xia Ruoyu, tears filling her eyes.
Lin Chen took the box, a cold gleam in his eyes, "Don't worry, I won't let your father's death be in vain."
