Chapter 321: Chapter 317 Zou Yu

Ling Chen spread his hands with an innocent look, "How did I insult you? Miss, could it be that you’re overthinking things?"

Hearing him repeatedly address her as ’Miss’, the woman’s face turned ghostly pale with rage, pointing at Ling Chen’s nose, she shouted angrily, "Fine, you’ve got guts. If I don’t make you roll out of here today, then I’m not Zou Yu. Security, where on earth are all the guards?"

At this time, more and more onlookers gathered around, pointing and discussing amongst themselves.

"Move aside, move aside." At this moment, Wei Jun and a few security guards pushed through the crowd and came inside, asking, "What’s going on... Eh? Ling, what are you doing here?" Wei Jun was slightly taken aback upon seeing Ling Chen.

Zou Yu, with a frosty face, asked, "You know him?"

"Of course, he’s an employee in our security department."

"Good, then fire him for me right now." Zou Yu commanded arrogantly.

Wei Jun looked at Zou Yu in surprise and asked with confusion, "Miss, who might you be? Since when is it your place to manage our security department’s affairs?"

Zou Yu raised her head with an air of arrogance, "Don’t worry about who I am, just do as I say. Otherwise, you won’t end well either."

"Heh." Wei Jun laughed suddenly, saying with interest, "I’ve been working here for years, but no one has ever threatened me before. Ling, it’s up to you to handle this."

Ling Chen, not bothering to waste words with that woman, waved his hand impatiently, "Wei, throw her out, don’t disturb the company’s order."

"Alright then."

Wei Jun signaled with his eyes, and several security guards immediately grabbed Zou Yu’s arms and forcibly dragged her out of the company. Zou Yu hadn’t expected these bastards to dare such boldness, struggling desperately and cursing, "You two just wait, I will not let you off."

Watching Zou Yu being dragged out of the door, Ji Beizhao didn’t show any reaction and smilingly said to Ling Chen, "Chen, thank you!"

"Don’t mention it." Ling Chen patted Ji Beizhao’s shoulder and advised, "Don’t be so timid in the future, be a bit braver; if there’s anything you can’t solve, come find me in the security department."

"Okay, I’ll get back to work now."

"Go ahead."

After Ji Beizhao left, Ling Chen shook his head to himself, thinking that Ji Beizhao had a good nature, but was somewhat meek. In a big company, such a personality doesn’t win favor and only makes one seem easy to bully. He remembered when he first joined Hongyu Group, he endured a lot to gather tuition for Tang Shiyun. Later, he resigned angrily because he couldn’t stand Nanrong Wanqing’s intentional targeting.

He had thought that there would no longer be any dealings between himself and Nanrong Wanqing, but many things are unpredictable and nobody knows what will happen tomorrow. He had never expected that his and Nanrong Wanqing’s relationship would develop to this extent.

...

Night fell.

Ling Chen accompanied Nanrong Wanqing back to Wealthy Manor. At dinner time, Su Lin habitually turned on the TV to watch local news.

"Today at three in the afternoon, the police received a report and discovered a corpse in a rented apartment. The victim is a woman named Zou Yu, twenty-six years old, employed at Hongyu Group. According to information disclosed by the police, the victim was tortured to death. The perpetrator’s methods were extremely cruel, not only torturing the victim before death but also mutilating the body afterwards. The case is currently under further investigation and we will continue to follow up on this report..."

Hearing the news broadcast, Ling Chen was shocked, staring blankly at the screen on the TV.

"Wanqing, this woman is actually an employee of Hongyu Group," Su Lin said with slight surprise.

Nanrong Wanqing nodded, took out her cellphone from her pocket, ready to contact the head of the HR department. Since she was an employee of Hongyu Group, the company definitely had to respond, and a condolence payment was unavoidable.

After making the call, Nanrong Wanqing noticed that Ling Chen had a troubled expression, and she asked, "What’s wrong?"

"Nothing, nothing," Ling Chen came back to his senses and said, "This morning at the company, I had a conflict with her, and later I had the security staff kick her out." Saying this, Ling Chen felt some self-reproach and sighed softly, "If I hadn’t done that, maybe she wouldn’t have had this misfortune."

"Don’t think about it anymore," Nanrong Wanqing consoled, "The murderer’s methods are cruel, obviously a premeditated vendetta, if it didn’t happen today, it could have happened tomorrow, it’s all just coincidence. Now we can only hope that the police can catch the murderer quickly to bring solace to her spirit in heaven."

After dinner, Ling Chen sat alone in his room, still thinking about Zou Yu’s matter. At this moment, his cellphone rang with an unfamiliar number. Ling Chen answered the call, said ’hello’, and asked, "Who is this?"

"Mr. Ling, hello, do you remember me?"

Hearing the voice on the other end, Ling Chen immediately thought of a person, Deng Guoyong.

"So it’s Mr. Deng. Does Mr. Deng have something for me?"

"Mr. Ling, you’d better hurry to the Old City. If you’re late, I’m afraid you won’t be able to see your brothers," said Deng Guoyong before hanging up directly.

Ling Chen’s heart tightened. It had been less than two days since his negotiation with Deng Guoyong, and he didn’t expect the other party to act so quickly. Without time to think further, he rushed out of the bedroom and drove towards the Old City. On the way, he took out his cellphone and dialed Jiang Hao’s number.

"Hello, Chen, got something for me?"

Jiang Hao’s voice came through the phone, mixed with loud music and noisy chatter, either from a bar or a nightclub.

"Where are you?" Ling Chen asked urgently.

"What? Chen, speak up, it’s too noisy here, I can’t hear you clearly."

"Where are you?" Ling Chen almost shouted.

"Oh, I am at... hey, what are you doing, let go of me, brothers, fight them to death..." Jiang Hao’s words were cut off before he could finish, and the phone lost its signal.

Listening to the ’beep beep’ busy tone, Ling Chen’s brows furrowed tightly. He redialed several times, but no one answered. Not just Jiang Hao, Zhao Zhengxiong’s phone was the same, unreachable.

Deng Guoyong was indeed skilful. Knowing the strategy of capturing the leaders first, by capturing Jiang Hao and Zhao Zhengxiong, he would be cutting off the head of the snake in the Old City.

While he pondered, the cellphone rang again, and it was Deng Guoyong.

"Mr. Ling, if you don’t want your brothers to come to harm, you’d better agree to our terms. I guarantee they won’t be hurt at all, otherwise... you’ll have to fish their bodies out of the sea."

"I’ll agree, but at least let me see them first, to ensure their safety."

"No problem," Deng Guoyong said with a laugh: "In thirty minutes, come to the Dongling Pier of Hongyu Group. Remember, you must come alone, I don’t want to see any police show up."

"Okay." Ling Chen tossed his phone on the co-driver’s seat, hit the gas pedal to the floor, and raced towards the agreed location like a bolt of lightning.
