Chapter 894: Chapter 894

At this moment, Ling Chen couldn’t worry about asking further questions, as there were other matters waiting for him to handle.

Ling Chen had already recognized that Chen Guanghe; he was the old man who had come along with Lin Qiqi.

Ling Chen frowned secretly, a hint of sharpness in his eyes. That woman... truly ruthless. Despite everything being arranged in advance, she changed her mind at the last minute, causing him to lose many people. Dıscover more novels at 𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹✶𝗳𝗶𝗿𝗲✶𝗻𝗲𝘁

Since you are ruthless, don’t blame me for being unkind.

Immediately, Ling Chen hurried towards the meeting room. Soon, when Ling Chen arrived, he saw that Hu Fei, Tang Guolun, and others had already reached the meeting room and subdued Lin Qiqi.

Looking at Lin Qiqi surrounded by security personnel, Ling Chen walked straight up. Without waiting for Lin Qiqi to speak, a crisp ’slap’ was heard, and the veil Lin Qiqi was wearing immediately fell off, revealing a delicate face. However, a bright red handprint appeared on her fair cheek.

Lin Qiqi touched the swollen area, glaring at Ling Chen, and suppressed her anger, saying, "You... you dare to hit me?"

"Why wouldn’t I dare? If I could, I’d bury you with me." Ling Chen said coldly, "Listen to me carefully, this is my territory, and no one can act recklessly here. If you want to play tricks, you better be mentally prepared. Fatty, lock her up. Without my permission, no one is allowed to approach her, and definitely do not give her any food."

Hearing this, Lin Qiqi swallowed her anger and said, "Ling Chen, let’s talk this over. What happened earlier was just a misunderstanding."

"Misunderstanding?" Ling Chen sneered, "You had Chen Guanghe wreak havoc at my base, is that a misunderstanding?"

"Ling Chen, I checked just now," Hu Fei took out those two bank cards and said, "These two cards have miniature chips on them, capable of emitting signals within 500 meters. She likely intended to use these cards to locate us."

Ling Chen fully understood Lin Qiqi’s intention. As long as she destroyed the control center and captured people like Hu Fei, she would have room to negotiate. By then, not only could she demand back the 1.5 billion US Dollars, but she could also use the hostages to exchange for Lin Guodong.

Unfortunately, Lin Qiqi’s plan was well-thought-out, but her sole mistake was the Eight Oddities. She probably didn’t expect Zhang Zhongfeng and Xu Ming to join forces to kill a Heavenly List expert.

"Ling Chen!" Seeing two security personnel escorting her out, Lin Qiqi became anxious and quickly said, "I am willing to pay for what happened just now, whatever conditions you set."

"Don’t you think it’s a bit late to say that now?" With those words, Ling Chen waved his hand, not bothering to waste more words with Lin Qiqi, and directly let the security personnel take her away.

After Lin Qiqi was taken away, Hu Fei breathed a sigh of relief, grinning as he said, "This is great, we now have the number one and number two of the God Organization in our hands. It won’t be long before we can slowly eradicate the God Organization’s influence until it is completely eliminated."

"Don’t celebrate too early," Ling Chen said, "So what if we’ve captured Lin Qiqi and Lin Guodong? Do you really think we can destroy the God Organization? I’ve talked with Lin Guodong, and though he and Lin Qiqi are the heads of the God Organization, the actual power is still held by the core members of the Ling Family. So even without Lin Qiqi and Lin Guodong, the God Organization will continue to operate as usual."

"No matter what, with both of them in our hands, we have at least gained the upper hand," Tang Guolun chimed in.

"Something about this seems odd to me," Ling Chen thought for a moment and said, "Lin Guodong is the number two of the God Organization, yet the one protecting him is Ji Gang. Lin Qiqi, as the leader, only has Chen Guanghe for protection. Don’t you find it strange? Ji Gang is a genuine Heavenly List expert, far more formidable than those like Chen Guanghe, who forcibly evoke their potential through experiments. Why would they place their strongest expert with Lin Guodong? Any other organization leader wouldn’t make such a decision."

"What you say indeed makes sense." Hu Fei agreed, "But... maybe Lin Qiqi cares a lot about Lin Guodong’s safety, so she assigns the expert to him. After all, Lin Qiqi has always remained hidden and doesn’t need to show up often. Moreover, you’ve seen the relationship between Lin Qiqi and Lin Guodong. To rescue Lin Guodong, Lin Qiqi didn’t hesitate to risk herself and came directly to our territory. It shows she values Lin Guodong immensely."

Ling Chen pondered for a moment, frowning, "No matter what, I still feel there’s something odd... forget it! Let’s not dwell on it for now. Fatty, Boss Tang, since you guys stay at the base often, make sure to keep a close watch on these two, don’t let them escape. Also, from today, strengthen the base’s defense level. With Lin Qiqi and Lin Guodong captured, the God Organization might take action."

"Don’t worry, I’ll be watching them at all times." Hu Fei replied.

Leaving the meeting room, they saw Qiu Yong and others approaching.

"Sixth Brother, is everything handled?" Yuan Yun asked.

Ling Chen nodded and said, "Almost done. Third Brother, you’ve all worked hard, go rest for now."

Speaking, the group headed straight towards the base’s residence.

On the way, Ling Chen noticed Xu Ming lagging behind alone, so he slowed down to walk beside Xu Ming.

Xu Ming looked up, glanced at Ling Chen, and asked unemotionally, "What’s the matter?"

"Uh..." Ling Chen touched his nose and said, "Second Brother, before, you mentioned ’realm’ to me. I didn’t quite understand what you meant. If it’s convenient for you, could you explain it to me?"

"You want to understand the realm?" Xu Ming smiled and said, "The realm is a very mysterious thing, difficult to describe in words. For a simple analogy, we often talk about Earthly List experts whose strength gradually increases with the enhancement of their realm. However, Earthly List experts can’t truly perceive the existence of the realm; only Heavenly List experts can tangibly experience the changes that the realm brings. That level... I don’t know how to describe it either. Let’s just say, once one’s strength reaches the Heavenly List, the realm becomes the most crucial existence. However, the realm cannot be improved through training, but only through personal insight."

Hearing this, Ling Chen asked in surprise, "Second Brother, does that mean your realm is higher than Chen Guanghe’s?"

"Yes, you could say that."

"Then... doesn’t that mean..."

Before Ling Chen could finish, Xu Ming interjected, "Don’t overthink it, I’m still not considered a Heavenly List expert yet."

"Why?" Ling Chen asked, puzzled, "Your realm is higher than Chen Guanghe’s, and he’s a Heavenly List expert. Why aren’t you one?"

Xu Ming explained, "It’s a long story, I’ll tell you sometime in the future."
