Chapter 889: Chapter 889

"Oh." Nanrong Hao was somewhat reluctant. Such a big deal, and Ling Chen kept himself out of it; he must feel dissatisfied. After all, he’s been a brother fighting alongside everyone. Zhao Zhengxiong doing such a thing, his anger is imaginable. Given his current temperament, he’d love nothing more than to drag Zhao Zhengxiong out and give him a good beating.

Ling Chen saw Nanrong Hao’s sullen expression and naturally understood what he was thinking.

"Alright!" Ling Chen patted Nanrong Hao’s shoulder and said, "You don’t have to feel uncomfortable. How about this, don’t you have a bunch of subordinates? Have them ready to support Jiang Hao. If Jiang Hao can’t handle it, then you step in to help."

Hearing this, Nanrong Hao’s eyes lit up, and he said with a smile, "Sure, no problem."

Returning to Hongyu Group, Nanrong Hao went to his office alone, while Ling Chen went to the chairman’s office and gently knocked on the door. After receiving permission, Ling Chen pushed the door open and looked around, only to see Nanrong Wanqing sitting at the desk, twirling a pen in her hand, her eyes fixed on the computer screen, focused on something.

Hearing footsteps at the door, Nanrong Wanqing turned her head and looked at Ling Chen approaching her, a faint smile immediately appeared on her delicate face, and she quickly stood up to greet him. Read full story at 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓵✶𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮✶𝓷𝓮𝓽

"When did you come back?"

"I’ve been busy in East Sea City these past few days, and since nothing’s going on today, I thought I’d come by to see you. So, what are you busy with?"

"Not much, just received an invitation from a company out of town, asking me to attend a banquet tomorrow night."

"An out-of-town company?" Ling Chen jokingly asked, "Which company has enough sway to invite you?"

Nanrong Wanqing rolled her eyes at Ling Chen and said coquettishly, "They’re willing to invite me, which means they’re giving me face. You have no idea, the company that invited me this time is one of the most famous domestic enterprises. Compared to them, our Hongyu Group is just child’s play."

"Is that so?" Ling Chen asked with interest, "Which company?"

"Wanheng Group, its industry spans the entire South, and it’s one of the top enterprises in the country. Our Hongyu Group is at best a leader in East Sea City, but they are a leading representative of the entire southern part of Huaxia."

"Wanheng?" Ling Chen was startled, a cold and intense light flashed in his eyes.

He had never had contact with this company before, but the name left a deep impression on him.

Wanheng Group is precisely the family business of the Ling Family.

The Ling Family’s reach is really far; they’ve even extended it to East Sea City.

Seeing Ling Chen standing there dazed and silent, Nanrong Wanqing curiously asked, "What’s wrong with you?"

Upon hearing Nanrong Wanqing’s question, Ling Chen snapped back to reality and forced a smile, saying, "Nothing. By the way, I’ve heard of Wanheng Group, it’s a very prestigious domestic company. Since they’re hosting a banquet in East Sea City, could it be that they’re planning to seek development here?"

"That should be the case," Nanrong Wanqing said, "I heard that Wanheng Group has been surveying the East Sea City market for some time, hence the banquet; the timing seems about right. If you’re interested, you could come with me. Anyway, everyone has to bring a male or female companion."

"Do you know who the host is this time?"

"The person has the last name Ling and is called Ling Shen. He’s the manager of the market expansion department at Wanheng Group."

"Ling Shen?" Ling Chen murmured to himself, silently repeating the name. After pondering a while, Ling Chen replied with a smile, "Alright, I’ll come to pick you up at home tomorrow night."

The Ling Family’s grand banquet in East Sea City surely was not for a simple purpose.

The Ling Family has so many weak points in my hands; it’s time to take action now.

Leaving Hongyu Group, Ling Chen drove straight to the research base.

As soon as he reached the control center, Ling Chen found Hu Fei and asked, "Fatty, how’s the evidence collection against the Ling Family going?"

Hu Fei pulled out a thick document from the drawer and said, "These are the evidence I’ve compiled, enough to directly link the God Organization with the Ling Family. There’s still a portion of data we haven’t finished examining in the hard drive we retrieved last time; I’m sure we can find more evidence."

Ling Chen took the document, glanced over it carefully, then put it down and said, "Make me an electronic copy of the documents, right away. I need it urgently later."

In less than five minutes, Ling Chen left the control center with a USB drive.

Back in his room, Ling Chen turned on his laptop, plugged in the USB drive, and sent all the files to Tang Yuan’s email.

With this evidence, Lonely Wolf could make a move against the Ling Family.

Having done all this, Ling Chen leaned back in his chair, eyes slightly closed. Before long, a faint snoring sound filled the room.

Hearing the knocking outside the door, Ling Chen rubbed his bleary eyes and quickly got up from his chair.

Looking at the clock on the wall, Ling Chen was amazed. It’s ten o’clock at night; he’d slept for that long. Then again, having worked all through the night and not rested all day, his accumulated fatigue made sleep irresistible.

Opening the door, and seeing Hu Fei standing outside, Ling Chen asked, "What’s up?"

"You ask me what’s up, I should be asking you what’s up. I called several times and no one answered, so I had to come over myself."

Ling Chen yawned and said, "Too tired, accidentally overslept. Just tell me, what’s the matter?"

"There’s a guest outside."

"Guest?" Ling Chen was taken aback; this research base had never had guests. Since Hu Fei used the term ’guest,’ it meant the person wasn’t one of their own.

"It’s someone from the God Organization," Hu Fei said.

Hearing this, Ling Chen raised an eyebrow and said solemnly, "What are they here for?"

"Not sure yet, but from their looks, it seems they aren’t here to cause trouble. Anyway, don’t ask me, they’re specifically asking to see you."

"Come, let’s go and take a look together."

Soon, Ling Chen and Hu Fei arrived at the research base’s reception room.

As they entered, Ling Chen immediately saw a young woman sitting on the sofa. Her face was wrapped in a scarf, covering everything below her eyes, revealing only a pair of starry and beautiful eyes, and her white and smooth neck.

The woman seemed to be in her twenties, with a bob cut dyed in a slight yellow, dressed simply in casual wear paired with light blue jeans, looking every inch a young beauty in her prime.

Behind the woman stood an elderly man.

Ling Chen observed for a couple of seconds, feeling that the elderly man’s face was entirely unfamiliar, having never seen him before. However, although the elderly man appeared ordinary, Ling Chen felt an intense sense of danger from him.

Turning back his gaze, Ling Chen looked at the woman and asked, "Who are you?"

The woman blinked her eyes and softly replied, "I’m Lin Qiqi."
