Chapter 154: Chapter 151 Crisis

Watching Zhu Hong hurry away, Zhu Xiaozhu felt something odd, given it was so late, what emergency could there be?

She followed Zhu Hong out of the villa and saw three Mercedes-Benz cars parked at the door; Zhu Hong got directly into the middle one. Although Zhu Hong never mentioned what happened, Zhu Xiaozhu could tell that Zhu Hong’s face was ashen, a far cry from his usual gentle smile, his eyes revealing urgency.

As the three Mercedes-Benz cars left the villa, a suited bodyguard approached Zhu Xiaozhu, respectfully saying, "Miss Zhu, your car is ready, I’ll take you back."

After a twenty-minute drive, Zhu Xiaozhu finally returned to Qingyun Martial Arts Hall.

Entering the hall of the martial arts academy, Zhu Xiaozhu saw Little Hua sitting alone on a chair, eating something.

"Xiaozhu!" Seeing Zhu Xiaozhu return, Little Hua immediately bounced and jumped to greet her, affectionately grabbing her arm.

"Why aren’t you sleeping at this late hour?"

"The master went out and told me to wait for you at home."

"Mr. He left?" Zhu Xiaozhu was surprised; in her memory, He Ziyun always stayed in the academy and rarely went out, especially this late at night, "Did Mr. He say what he was going to do?"

Little Hua grinned and said, "I don’t know, he didn’t tell me. Xiaozhu, will you sleep with me tonight?"

Zhu Xiaozhu nodded gently, but felt an inexplicable unease rising in her heart, leaving her mood unsettled for a long time.

...

Located in the psychiatric hospital’s secret base.

Ling Chen cleaned up the previously dealt bodies, moved them to a place unseen, then continued guarding in the warehouse, secretly protecting the captured citizens.

"Ling Chen, you’d best move them quickly, the base’s security personnel are already heading toward the warehouse."

Hearing Tang Yuan’s reminder, Ling Chen frowned slightly, "Can you help me buy some time?"

"Okay, I’ll try my best."

As soon as that was said, a burst of gunfire immediately rang out outside the warehouse.

Seizing the moment, Ling Chen quickly pulled open a metal plate on the floor, urging, "Everybody, come out quickly."

Then, with Ling Chen’s help, over thirty citizens climbed out. "Follow me." Ling Chen looked around, then led them into the morgue.

Upon seeing the room full of dead bodies, everyone’s faces turned pale, feeling an eerie and penetrative horror.

Ling Chen instructed, "Everyone, stay here and don’t go out." After saying that, he quickly walked out of the morgue, locked the door, and alone returned to the warehouse.

At that moment, outside the warehouse, a fully armed combat squad was assembled, ready to storm in and capture the intruder.

Just as the combat squad was about to act, a researcher in a white lab coat hurried over, anxiously shouting, "Put down all your guns, none of the operatives are to carry guns."

The squad leader’s face turned cold, "Are you joking with me?"

"This warehouse contains experimental agents stored at low temperatures. If a bullet accidentally hits those thermal boxes, causing the agents to leak, it would be unimaginable, no one in the entire base would survive."

Hearing this, the squad members hesitated.

After contemplating for a moment, the squad leader compromised, saying, "Everyone switch to stun guns."

Minutes passed, Ling Chen leaned against a box, listening to the noises outside, his hand tightly gripping Wolf Kiss. Soon, the shutter door of the warehouse slowly rose, three or four smoke grenades were thrown in first, followed by several ’bangs’ noises, filling the warehouse with smoke.

Ling Chen smirked, as expected, standard combat procedure. These smoke grenades, while covering their tracks, could also provide him cover.

Then, he crouched and sneaked around from behind the boxes, charging into the spreading smoke.

The visibility in the smoke was very low, but Ling Chen didn’t need his eyes; instead, he located the enemy’s position by their footsteps. Soon, he locked onto one of them and quickly closed in.

Reaching behind the man, he suddenly stretched out both hands, grabbed the man’s head, and twisted forcefully.

There was a cracking sound, and the enemy’s neck was instantly broken, his body limp on the ground.

Following that, Ling Chen searched the man’s body, found two smoke grenades, and continued to throw them around.

"Who? Who is throwing smoke grenades?" a man shouted.

Hearing the voice, Ling Chen didn’t hesitate and immediately rushed towards the man’s location. In just moments, he had taken down another enemy.

At this time, researchers in white coats outside the warehouse were directing their subordinates to begin the evacuation process, destroying all computer data, and packing and transporting valuable items away. Besides the two combat teams responsible for capturing the intruders, an additional security team of more than twenty people was tasked with ensuring the safety of the evacuating personnel.

"What about the experimental drugs in the warehouse?"

"This..." The man in the white coat hesitated, those experimental drugs were the base’s most important assets, and they absolutely could not fall into outsiders’ hands.

While he pondered, his cellphone suddenly rang.

"Hello, Mr. Zhu."

"How much longer until you evacuate?"

"We can finish in ten minutes."

"Move the confidential files and the experimental drugs, never mind the rest."

"Mr. Zhu, those experimental drugs are stored in the warehouse; our people are still there capturing the intruders, we might not have enough time."

Mr. Zhu on the phone paused for a moment, his tone suddenly turned cold: "Don’t worry about those, take your men and evacuate immediately. I’m only giving you ten minutes, you better hurry."

"Yes."

After hanging up, the white-coated man quickly urged his subordinates to move everything to the evacuation route.

Boyang Company Headquarters.

In the spacious office, Zhu Hong was sitting beside his desk; front of him were two monitors displaying more than ten surveillance feeds, all streamed in real-time from the secret base.

Watching the chaotic base, Zhu Hong’s face was ashen, his eyebrows tightly knitted, and his right hand on the desk clenched into a fist.

"Do you know who did this?" he gritted his teeth, squeezing a few words out through clenched teeth.

"Boss, we haven’t found out yet."

"A bunch of useless trash," Zhu Hong scolded angrily, "I spent so much money on the security system, and it didn’t even detect the intruders, what use do I have for you?"

A group of people stood opposite the desk, heads down, not uttering a word, not daring to meet Zhu Hong’s gaze.

Zhu Hong exhaled, trying to calm his raging emotions, and coldly asked, "How is the evacuation proceeding?"

"The lab’s research staff and important confidential files have been safely evacuated."

"What about the others?"

"There are still more than sixty people in the base..."

"Forget about them, immediately seal all passages, activate the self-destruct program, and leave no traces."

"Yes."
