Chapter 714: Chapter 714
Seeing their commander knocked unconscious, the color drained from the faces of the soldiers following him.
Lin Chen said coldly, "If you want to arrest someone, bring an arrest warrant, otherwise don't think about taking anyone from here."
The soldiers looked at the fallen officer, knew they were no match for Lin Chen, and helped the injured officer leave.
Lin Chen glanced at Liu Ruyan and said coldly, "You're coming with me."
Liu Ruyan followed Lin Chen into the car, and he drove a long distance before finally stopping in a secluded area.
"Now you can tell me what exactly is going on," Lin Chen said coldly.
Liu Ruyan glanced at Lin Chen and snorted coldly, "You are with the special group, just another puppet of the military, trying to trick me into talking, but you won't succeed."
Hearing Liu Ruyan's self-assured remark, Lin Chen was speechless and then said, "That day you mentioned your master died, it must have been Mr. Xia, right?"
"How did you know that?" Liu Ruyan's expression changed, and she looked at Lin Chen in surprise.
Lin Chen looked at Liu Ruyan and said lightly, "I was there when Mr. Xia died."
"What? You killed my master?" Liu Ruyan lunged at Lin Chen as if she had gone mad.
Lin Chen, exasperated by this unintelligent beauty, quickly grabbed her hands, "Calm down, Mr. Xia was my friend. I was going to save him but arrived a few minutes too late."
"Why should I believe you?" Liu Ruyan said coldly.
Lin Chen thought for a moment, "You know Xia Ruoyu, right?"
"Of course, we are best friends; I certainly know her. Do you know where she is?" Liu Ruyan exclaimed excitedly.
Lin Chen nodded, "She is in a very safe place. Now let me give her a call, and you can talk to her."
Saying this, Lin Chen dialed Xia Ruoyu's number.
"Ruoyu? It's Lin Chen. I've found your father's disciple, Liu Ruyan," Lin Chen said.
"Is that Liu Ruyan? That's great, I thought she was in danger," Xia Ruoyu said excitedly.
Lin Chen handed the phone to Liu Ruyan, and the two women talked for a long time before hanging up.
"Do you believe me now?" Lin Chen said.
Liu Ruyan nodded and said, "Yes, Mr. Lin, can you help me avenge my master?"
Lin Chen shook his head, "The waters here are too deep, and being from Huaxia, I do not wish to involve myself in other countries' affairs."
Liu Ruyan excitedly said, "This isn't just about T country; those people have grand ambitions, they want to unify the world."
"What did you say?" Lin Chen was stunned, considering T country was a small nation; these people had such ambitious intentions.
Liu Ruyan spoke solemnly, "Although this project is based in T country, the power behind it is a mysterious Black Court. They are not only researching the Stone of Life, but they are also using that material to build a mysterious and immortal army."
"An immortal army!" Hearing Liu Ruyan's words, Lin Chen was shocked again.
Liu Ruyan continued, "If you do not intervene, not only will the people of T country suffer, but the entire world will be swept up by this evil power once again."
Lin Chen furrowed his brow and said to Liu Ruyan, "Tell me everything you know!"
It turned out Liu Ruyan graduated from university with excellent results and entered a scientific research institute; her mentor was Mr. Xia.
They conducted research on a blood project and achieved significant results.
With this technology, they could cure many of mankind's incurable diseases; however, just as the project was about to break through, it was abruptly terminated.
Later, all the researchers entered an underground facility, launching a hellish scientific project.
"They actually used living people for experiments, do you know that? Those experiments were extremely cruel, it was simply a hell on earth." Liu Ruyan's face showed a pained expression.
Later, my master and I no longer wanted to engage in such evil experiments, so we escaped the laboratory during a power outage.
Over these years, my master and I have remained incognito, and I have even avoided working in anything related to medical care.
"So that's how it was!" Lin Chen finally understood some things.
"I know a group of people who are preparing to resist the military department. Do you think you could testify in court when the time comes?" Lin Chen asked.
"Of course, I am willing to testify," Liu Ruyan said earnestly.
"They killed my master, and even if it kills me, I will fight them to the end."
At that moment, in the military department's archives room, Sha Kun sat in front of a desk lamp continuously rifling through documents.
Suddenly, his phone rang, and through the connection came his daughter Sha Li's voice: "Daddy, aren't you coming home for dinner tonight? Mommy and I miss you so much."
Listening to the voice on the phone, Sha Kun chuckled and said, "Be good, my baby, I miss you and Mommy too. Once Daddy is done with work, I'll come home and even buy you your favorite dessert, okay?"
"Okay, then I'll wait for you to come back," Sha Li said happily.
Then the phone was passed over, and his wife's voice came through: "Sha Kun, tomorrow is Father's Day. The kindergarten wants dad to attend a program; other kids' dads are participating. Can you take a half-day off to surprise her? She talks about missing you all the time."
Sha Kun nodded, "Alright, I'll definitely take leave and go to the activity to surprise our daughter."
Hearing Sha Kun agree to her request, his wife was as delighted as a child: "It's a promise then, you better not stand us up!"
"Mmm, I definitely won't stand you up," Sha Kun laughed.
"Mmm, see you tomorrow then, miss you!" his wife playfully said.
"Miss you," Sha Kun tenderly responded.
As the call ended, a picture of the three family members appeared on the screen.
Sha Kun looked at the picture, a sweet smile crossing his lips.
Calming his mind, Sha Kun buried himself back in the piles of documents.
However, after looking for half the day without any breakthrough, he rubbed his temples and suddenly his gaze fell upon a map hanging on the wall.
Suddenly, his eyes lit up, he stood up, took out a pen, and connected several points on the map.
"So, that's it, how did I not see it before." Sha Kun excitedly looked at the map.
Just then, sudden clapping echoed from behind Sha Kun.
"Mr. Sha Kun is indeed a genius, to have discovered our secret."
Upon hearing that voice, Sha Kun's face turned grim.
He sharply turned around, looking behind him.
Standing behind Sha Kun was an enchantingly beautiful woman, who mockingly looked at him, her eyes brimming with murderous intent.
"Who are you?" Sha Kun asked coldly, his hand on his sidearm.
"My name is Pan La, hehe, to be precise, a beauty. How about it, do you find me attractive, charming, feel any urge to sleep with me?" Pan La gently lifted her leg and even unbuttoned her top, sitting in various provocative poses.
"I'm sorry, in my heart, there is only one person who is the most beautiful, and that is my wife," Sha Kun said calmly.
"You really are a good man, huh? Not many men can resist my allure. I had thought to let you die a pleasurable death, but since that's the case, I'll just have to kill you outright."
