Chapter 387: Chapter 383: Cripple

Upon hearing the orders issued by Zhu Hong, everyone immediately sprang into action.

Boom!

But just at that moment, an earth-shattering explosion suddenly occurred in the center of the island, causing the entire island to tremble slightly. Zhu Hong’s facial expression changed dramatically, and he quickly turned his head, only to see flames soaring and dense smoke billowing from the center of the island.

"What happened? Where did the explosion occur?"

Before Zhu Hong could finish speaking, several more explosions were heard, ’boom boom’, with powerful shockwaves erupting and trees being instantly obliterated.

As the island was engulfed in explosions, Zhu Hong made a lightning-fast decision, hurriedly ordered: "Arrange for boats to evacuate immediately."

"Yes."

"Get in the car!"

However, just as everyone was about to leave in the jeep, another explosion, ’boom’, occurred less than thirty meters from the jeep, sending flames skyward and sweeping blast waves across. Zhu Hong had not even recovered when he felt a wave of heat engulf him, lifting his body into the air and rendering him unconscious in an instant.

On a kayak, Ling Chen calmly observed the island being destroyed by the blasts. Kaelina had once told him, Reylov’s heart had been implanted with a micro-device, controlling all the bombs on the island. Once Reylov’s heart stopped beating, the bombs would immediately detonate, obliterating the entire island.

What was happening now was exactly the outcome he wanted.

In such a catastrophic explosion, it was hard for anyone to survive, including Zhu Hong.

Regaining his composure, Ling Chen drove the kayak to the motorboat, lifted the sunshade, and smiled: "All clear now."

Kaelina stood up, her eyes complex as she looked at the island, now a sea of flames, and asked, "Is Reylov dead?"

Ling Chen gently nodded, reached out to help Nanrong Wanqing up, and smiled, "We can go home now."

Hearing this, Nanrong Wanqing breathed a sigh of relief. However, seeing the wounds on Ling Chen’s body, her delicate face immediately tensed, and she quickly asked, "Are you hurt? Is it serious?"

"It’s nothing major, don’t worry." Although he said this, Ling Chen still felt a burning pain in his back.

Previously, while battling a shark underwater, he had no idea where the shark had taken him. After dealing with the shark, when he surfaced, he realized he was tens of meters away from the motorboat. Fortunately, a kayak happened to pass by him, giving him a chance to find a gun and destroy the helicopter.

As the explosions continued behind them, Kaelina drove the motorboat far away from the island. An hour later, when their motorboat’s fuel was almost depleted, a cargo ship slowly appeared in their sight.

Arriving here, Hu Fei had already arranged a rescue ship. Although the operation deviated from the original plan, it was nonetheless successful – they had rescued Nanrong Wanqing. As long as there were no casualties, everything else was acceptable.

...

Meanwhile, on the island.

A seaplane was docked at the shore, and over twenty survivors were busy counting the casualties.

"Mr. Yun."

"How is it, have you found Zhu Hong?"

The man in a suit hesitated for a moment, stammered, "We... we found him, but..."

Mr. Yun furrowed his brows slightly and urged, "But what? Speak up!"

"Mr. Yun, perhaps you should see for yourself."

Shortly after, the two arrived at a row of bodies. Looking at the white cloths covering the bodies, Mr. Yun’s expression hardened and he coldly inquired, "Is he dead?"

"No!" the man in the suit hurriedly said, "He’s not dead... I’m just... just afraid of frightening others." With that, he walked over and lifted the white cloth. Suddenly, a face, completely unrecognizable, appeared before Mr. Yun.

Looking at the person almost charred before him, Mr. Yun’s face turned steel blue as he said in a deep voice, "Are you sure he is Zhu Hong?"

"One hundred percent sure, I’ve already verified it." After a pause, the man in the suit continued, "The accompanying medical staff examined him; Mr. Zhu’s body has burns covering ninety-eight percent, and his injuries are severe. It’s because of the strengthening agent that he’s been able to hold on. However, even if his life is saved, given the condition of his burns, it’s doubtful he’ll ever return to his previous appearance."

Mr. Yun pondered for a moment and then said, "Send him to the laboratory in Florida."

Hearing this, the man in the suit’s expression changed slightly, surprised he said, "Sending him there, do you intend to..."

"Rather than having him live as a disabled person, better to let him live with some value. Enough, say no more, just follow my orders and send him there as soon as possible."

"Yes."

...

In the blink of an eye, three days passed.

In the security office of the Hongyu Group headquarters, Ling Chen was lounging with his legs crossed, holding a mouse, watching an enthralling video on the computer, occasionally clicking his tongue in amazement.

"Ling, what are you watching now?"

The office door was pushed open as Wei Jun strode in, looking at Ling Chen’s face relishing, he curiously leaned over.

"Oh! So you are also a fan of Tang Shiyun, and here I thought you were watching some adult film." Wei Jun waved his hand uninterestedly.

Ling Chen mercilessly retorted, "Only someone like you, whose mind is filled with lust, would think of nothing but women."

"Get lost, other than women, I’m also interested in money." Finishing, Wei Jun mysteriously leaned close to Ling Chen and whispered, "Ling, are you free tonight? I’ll take you to a nice place."

Ling Chen curled his lip, "Another outing to find women? Sorry, I’m not interested."

"It’s not women this time."

"Then what for?"

Wei Jun smiled meaningfully, "You’ll know tonight. Hey, let’s settle on it then, eight o’clock, I’ll give you a call."

"Alright, I’ll wait for your call."

Ling Chen held his head, watching Tang Shiyun in the video, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised. Having returned from the island three days ago, everything had gone back to normal. After being busy for so many days, it’s good to go out and relax now that Wei Jun has invited him.

Night fell.

After dinner, having watched TV with Nanrong Wanqing and Su Lin, Ling Chen received a call from Wei Jun and drove there alone.

Arriving at the place, Ling Chen met up with Wei Jun and asked, "Where to?"

"First to Shunbei Road."

In less than fifteen minutes, the two arrived at Shunbei Road. Looking at the cold and quiet street, possibly because it was somewhat remote, it seemed even less lively than the Old City.

Getting out of the car, Ling Chen asked curiously, "Wei, what’s fun around this place?"

"Heh heh! Don’t be impatient, you’ll know soon, follow me."

Walking along a dark alley, Ling Chen followed Wei Jun step by step until they reached the end of the alley. Seeing a rusty iron gate, Wei Jun, who seemed familiar with the place, walked up and lightly knocked on the door—four short, three long—immediately, the iron door was opened from inside.

Glancing at the burly doorman, Ling Chen muttered to himself, this place is so secretive, could it be some illegal venue?

Following Wei Jun through several doors, Ling Chen’s eyes suddenly widened as the surroundings brightened. He was taken aback as he looked around.
