Chapter 654: Chapter 659: Rescuing the Porridge Girl (1)

The next day.

Ling Chen, hungover, didn’t wake up until 10 o’clock in the morning.

Upon checking the time upon awakening, Ling Chen’s face changed, and he immediately jumped out of bed and hurried out of the room. noveldrama

Leaving the hotel, Ling Chen got into his car and, while starting the engine, he took out his mobile phone, ready to dial Hu Fei’s number. However, when he took out his phone, Ling Chen found that there were more than ten missed calls, all from Hu Fei, from 7 o’clock in the morning until just now.

It must have been that little cup of Du Kang’s wine that caused the trouble.

Ling Chen thought helplessly. He wasn’t a stranger to getting drunk before, but he had never missed hearing his phone ring like this time.

He dialed Hu Fei’s number, and it only rang once before being picked up.

"Hey! Where did you run off to? I’ve practically smashed my phone calling you and still no answer," Hu Fei berated him.

"Ah, drinking and its troubles. Let’s not talk about it. Tell me, what’s the emergency for looking for me?"

"There’s been trouble at the manor. A few cars suddenly arrived this morning, all entering the manor, and they haven’t left since. I’m worried that Lin Jiawei and his people might be planning to leave East Sea City."

Hearing this, Ling Chen’s heart relaxed. If that was the case, there wasn’t as much reason to worry about Porridge Girl’s safety. If Lin Jiawei wanted to leave East Sea City, he would surely use Porridge Girl as a hostage. So, her safety was temporarily ensured.

"Fatso, you gather people and head over immediately, I’ll join you in a moment."

After hanging up, Ling Chen stopped the car and went back to the hotel, planning to call Du Kang for help. However, upon reaching Du Kang’s room, he found it completely empty, the sheets in perfect order without a single sign of having been slept in.

Where is he?

Ling Chen stared blankly, full of surprise. He had definitely booked a room for Du Kang last night and had seen him enter, yet there was no sign of him after just one night. Besides, Du Kang had specially come to East Sea City to help; if he was leaving, he should at least have said goodbye.

Ah! What a nuisance.

Ling Chen, anxious, ran his fingers through his hair and hurried back out of the hotel. With Du Kang missing, he had to find another way.

Half an hour later, outside a manor in the suburbs of East Sea City, Ling Chen drove his Audi rapidly to the scene. Without even taking the time to close the car door properly, he quickly dashed into a box truck parked by the roadside.

Inside the truck, Hu Fei and a few other staff members sat in front of computers, monitoring the surroundings of the manor.

"Fatso, how is it, have they left yet?" Ling Chen asked urgently.

"Don’t rush. They haven’t left; they’re all still inside the manor. I sent people over but there’s someone guarding all around the manor. I was afraid of revealing their location, so I didn’t dare let them get too close." As he said this, Hu Fei glanced behind Ling Chen and asked, "Why are you alone? Didn’t you say you were bringing backup?"

Mentioning the backup, a bitter smile appeared on Ling Chen’s face. Du Kang had vanished without a trace, and he didn’t even know where to look for him, lacking even a phone number to contact.

"Never mind the backup; it’s the same whether he comes or not. In any case, we need to figure out a way to rescue Porridge Girl." After saying this, Ling Chen looked at the surveillance footage on the computer screens, observing the situation around the manor.

Not long after, the gate of the manor slowly opened, and a Cadillac took the lead driving out.

"They’re leaving!"

Ling Chen’s heart sank and he said, "We need to find a way to stop them."

"Don’t worry, I’ve been prepared for a while now. I won’t let them escape East Sea City."

As the first Cadillac drove out, it was closely followed by three more Cadillacs, forming a convoy that sped towards the airport at eighty miles per hour. Hu Fei kept his eyes fixed on the screen, holding a walkie-talkie in his hand.

As the four Cadillacs were about to reach the intersection, Hu Fei immediately issued commands through a walkie-talkie: "Take action!"

At that command, seen through surveillance footage, seven or eight vehicles suddenly burst out from all around the crossroads, blocking the Cadillacs’ driving route. At the same time, several other vehicles came from behind, cutting off their way of retreat.

With over a dozen cars collaborating, all four Cadillacs were trapped inside, unable to leave.

"Drive there immediately."

As Hu Fei’s voice fell, the box truck immediately started moving towards the location of the Cadillacs.

"That’s odd."

Watching the four Cadillacs on the surveillance screen, Ling Chen frowned slightly, feeling a bad hunch.

"What’s odd?"

Ling Chen pointed at the monitor and said, "It’s been so long and not a single person has gotten out of the cars. Don’t you find that strange? They should be getting out immediately since they are surrounded, not staying inside." After finishing, Ling Chen spoke gravely, "Fatty, notify everyone to stay alert and tell the people at the manor not to evacuate for now. I’m worried the enemy is trying to draw the tiger away from the mountain."

"Understood!"

Soon, the box truck arrived close to the four Cadillacs.

Ling Chen pushed open the rear doors of the truck, jumped onto the road, and observed the four Cadillacs from behind the vehicle. Until now, there was still no sign of movement from the cars.

Seeing this, Hu Fei issued orders through the walkie-talkie. Two men in western suits got out of a vehicle and cautiously approached one of the Cadillacs.

When they got closer, one of the men in suits picked up an iron rod and fiercely smashed it against the car window glass.

Clang!

With a crisp sound, the window glass shattered instantly. However, at the very moment the glass broke, a dagger suddenly flew out from inside the car, striking the man in the suit directly in the body.

Seeing this scene, Ling Chen’s face changed abruptly, his body leaned forward quickly, ready to take action for the rescue. However, before he could move, Hu Fei suddenly grabbed his shoulder and shook his head at him, indicating not to move rashly.

Ling Chen looked at Hu Fei, puzzled, then turned his attention back to the man in the suit.

Though hit by the dagger, the man in the suit didn’t seem to be in life-threatening danger. He calmly grasped the hilt of the dagger and pulled the blade out from his body. The tip of the blade had no blood on it, clearly not having penetrated his flesh.

"No need to worry about them. I made ample preparations before we came."

Hearing Hu Fei speak, Ling Chen nodded and then felt relieved.

At that moment, the man in the suit threw the dagger onto the ground and called out to the people inside the car, "All of you, get out!"

As his voice faded, the doors of the Cadillac finally opened. With the passenger side man descending from the car, Ling Chen’s gaze sharply focused.

Yi Shuiyan!

It was him.

He didn’t expect this guy had actually come to East Sea City.

"Be careful!"

Ling Chen shouted loudly, without hesitation, he quickly started rushing over.

Even though the men Hu Fei brought were equipped with exoskeleton armor, Yi Shuiyan was no ordinary person—his strength was such that the exoskeleton armor wouldn’t be much of a deterrent.
