Chapter 617: Chapter 614: Strange Incoming Call
Facing Nanrong Yuan’s expectant gaze, Ling Chen was at a loss for words momentarily.
"Mr. Nanrong, you and Wanqing are father and daughter. Regardless of whether she can understand your actions, I believe she will forgive you," Ling Chen considered his words for a moment before speaking.
"Then... when can I see her?"
"Don’t worry, when the time comes, I’ll naturally bring her to you." As he said this, Ling Chen’s tone shifted, asking, "Mr. Nanrong, what other intelligence do you have about the God Organization?"
Nanrong Yuan thought for a while, then shook his head and said, "That’s all, I’ve said everything I know. But the God Organization is cunning with many hideouts, especially that mysterious leader, whose real identity no one has discovered to this day. Without finding him, it would be difficult to completely eradicate the God Organization."
"However, apart from knowing that this mysterious leader is Huaxian, we have no other information. Even with numerous intelligence agencies at our disposal, we don’t know where to begin." After speaking, Ling Chen seemed to think of something, his eyes suddenly brightening, and he hurriedly asked, "Right! There’s one more thing. There is a very important high-ranking member of the God Organization named Lin Guodong. Do you remember him?"
"Lin Guodong?" Nanrong Yuan nodded, "I know him, I’ve spoken with him a few times on the phone. You’re right, among the high-ranking members of the God Organization, he’s indeed an important member. Back when I was with the God Organization, unless there were particularly important matters, generally, it was he who represented the leader in presiding over phone conferences."
"If that’s the case, then you should know what he looks like," Ling Chen pressed further.
"He’s about one meter seventy-five tall, has a southern accent, about forty years old, with very fair skin..."
Listening to Nanrong Yuan’s description, Ling Chen hurriedly cut him off, saying, "Wait a moment, I’m going to call someone over."
Half an hour later, Hu Fei arrived at Qingyun Martial Arts Hall, clutching a laptop.
With Nanrong Yuan’s description, Hu Fei started to model and simulate on the computer. In about ten minutes or so, Hu Fei had constructed a rough facial model.
Ling Chen, unable to wait, picked up the laptop and held it in front of Nanrong Yuan, asking, "Is this the man?"
Nanrong Yuan examined it closely for a moment and nodded, "That’s about right, it’s him."
"Fatty."
"Got it, I’ll handle it." Hu Fei took the laptop, expertly tapping on the keyboard, uploading the portrait to the matching system, searching for the man’s identity.
"How soon can we get a result?" Ling Chen appeared somewhat anxious. Finally having a lead on Lin Guodong, he was eager to arrest the other party. If he could deal with Lin Guodong, it might be possible to capture the entire core high-ranking members of the God Organization, including that mysterious leader.
"That’s hard to say, I’ve already accessed the Ministry of Public Security’s system. To locate that person among all the nationwide records might take a long time. Don’t worry, I’ll let you know as soon as we have results."
Because Nanrong Yuan’s injuries had not yet fully healed, Ling Chen didn’t linger too long. After clarifying Lin Guodong’s appearance, he left the room with Hu Fei and He Ziyun.
"Mr. He, you are going to be quite busy lately."
"It’s no trouble, no one dares to cause trouble here anyway."
"If there’s nothing else, we will be on our way back."
"Alright, be safe on the road."
Upon coming out of the Qingyun Martial Arts Hall, Hu Fei, sitting in the passenger seat, looked at Ling Chen and asked, "The God Organization has always believed that Nanrong Yuan is dead. If they find out he’s still alive, will they take action?"
"No. Nanrong Yuan has told us everything he knows, and that new technology has also fallen into the hands of the God Organization. They don’t need to go through more trouble. What I’m concerned about now isn’t Nanrong Yuan’s safety, but rather..." Thinking about what could happen when Nanrong Wanqing meets Nanrong Hao, Ling Chen suddenly grew worried.
After dropping Hu Fei off in the Old City, Ling Chen called Nanrong Hao and found out that Nanrong Wanqing had returned home. He immediately drove towards Wealthy Manor.
Back at the Nanrong Family’s home, Ling Chen felt an involuntary twinge of pain inside as he saw Nanrong Wanqing seated in a wheelchair.
He had already urged Hu Fei to quickly set up the production line and start manufacturing the exoskeleton armor.
"What were you just doing?" Seeing Ling Chen return, Nanrong Wanqing asked.
"I had some things to take care of."
Ling Chen hesitated for a moment but still did not mention Nanrong Yuan. Given all the events that had unfolded recently, it was best to give Nanrong Wanqing a chance to recuperate, waiting for the right moment to tell her this news.
...
A day went by.
The next day.
At eight o’clock in the morning, just as Ling Chen had woken up, he received a call from a stranger.
"Ling Chen?"
"Yes. Who is this?"
"One hour from now, I’ll be waiting for you at East Sea City’s port. Remember, come alone."
After the call disconnected, with the tone sounding through the line, Ling Chen sat up from his bed and frowned as he looked at the unfamiliar number. The voice on the phone was very unfamiliar, definitely not someone he knew.
Thinking it over, Ling Chen dialed the number back. However, the line indicated that the user had already powered off their phone.
Whatever, I’ll check it out first.
It was still early, and after washing up, Ling Chen had breakfast with the early-rising Nanrong Wanqing. About half an hour before the appointed time, he left alone by car.
East Sea City port.
It was now nine o’clock in the morning, and the port was a bustling hub of activity, crowded with people. Ling Chen, wearing a baseball cap he’d just bought on the side of the road, weaved through the crowd, his sharp gaze sweeping around, searching for any suspicious targets.
Several minutes passed, and Ling Chen checked his phone for the time. An hour on the dot. Just as he was about to put his phone away, the screen suddenly displayed an incoming call – it was that same unfamiliar number.
After answering, Ling Chen got straight to the point: "Who are you?"
"The address is in your pocket. See you there." With that, the other party hung up again.
In my pocket?
Ling Chen was startled and quickly reached into the pocket of his jacket. Indeed, there was a boat ticket inside.
Impressive!
Looking at the boat ticket in his hand, Ling Chen’s expression turned serious. He hadn’t noticed anyone approaching him while moving through the crowd, which meant the other party was very quick, quick enough to escape his detection.
Considering this, Ling Chen became even more cautious.
The ticket showed a time of ten minutes past eight. After waiting a few minutes at the port, Ling Chen saw a boat slowly approaching the shore.
After boarding the boat, Ling Chen glanced around before taking a seat.
Not long after, when the tour boat was full, it left the port, heading into the blue ocean.
"Nice weather today."
Suddenly, a voice came from behind Ling Chen.
Without thinking, Ling Chen instinctively turned to look back, but before his gaze could settle on the person’s face, he was stopped by the other party.
"Don’t move!"
