Chapter 391: Chapter 387: The Mastermind Behind the Scenes

"Ling Chen."

A familiar voice came, and Xia Mutong appeared wearing a crisp uniform, looking valiant and impressive, boasting proudly of her ample chest, accompanied by two colleagues who quickly approached.

"Officer Xia, you’ve arrived just in time. These people have set up an illegal gambling den and are auctioning off women like goods. You must severely punish such heinous behavior." As he spoke, Ling Chen handed his phone to Xia Mutong and played the secretly recorded video for all to see.

After watching the video, Xia Mutong glanced at Lady Tong, who was kneeling on the ground, and said coldly, "Handcuff her and take her back. Get someone to search the place inside and out for me. See if there are any other accomplices or hostages being held."

"Yes, Captain Xia."

The two male police officers nodded and stepped forward to pull Lady Tong up.

"Let go of me!" Lady Tong flailed her arms desperately, struggling furiously, pointing at Xia Mutong and shouting angrily, "Do you know who I am? Let me tell you, I have a very good relationship with the leaders of your police department. If you dare to arrest me, I’ll make sure you’re packing your bags and leaving tomorrow."

Slap!

Xia Mutong frowned and casually delivered a slap to Lady Tong’s cheek, reprimanding, "Shut up. Say one more word, and I’ll tear your mouth apart."

Lady Tong was stunned, not expecting the woman before her to be even more hot-tempered than herself, and instantly became like an eggplant hit by frost, lowering her head and walking away with the two police officers.

"Officer Xia, I’ll leave that woman to you for now. I have a friend who is still in danger, and I need to find her quickly. I’ll contact you by phone later." Without waiting for Xia Mutong to respond, Ling Chen had already run out of the gambling den.

Getting into the car, Ling Chen put his right hand on the gear shift, stepped on the accelerator, and the car shot out like an arrow released from its bow.

The port previously mentioned by Lady Tong wasn’t too far away, only about ten kilometers from the gambling den. At this moment, the boat was already on its way back and he didn’t know if Leng Feifei was safe. He had to hurry over as soon as possible.

Just then, the pleasant ring of a mobile phone came from his pocket.

Ling Chen took out his phone and glanced at the incoming call display. Seeing it was Zhao Zhengxiong, he immediately pressed the answer button and said, "Xiong, I’m really busy right now, I’ll talk to you later..."

"Chen, were you just at the gambling den?"

Hearing this, Ling Chen was slightly taken aback and asked with confusion, "How did you know?"

"My people reported it to me, they saw you outside the gambling den. Chen, you might not be aware, but that gambling den is operated by the gangsters from North City District, I have been keeping an eye on them."

"Is it them?"

"Yes, that’s right! Those guys have been expanding their power like crazy after taking over the West District and South District, with no idea of restraint. But the more people they have, the more money they need. So they took risks and did whatever made quick money - running gambling dens, trafficking drugs, they’ve been involved in almost all kinds of illegal and criminal activities."

Ling Chen asked, "Why doesn’t the police do anything?"

"The police in those districts have all taken bribes, no one wants to meddle, no incidents are reported. The previous raids on the gambling dens were conducted by the city police, who are not as easily bribed with money like the district police. I have been collecting evidence of their illegal activities and planning to report them anonymously. I didn’t expect that you, Chen, would take the lead by storming in and destroying their den. Now they are in for it."

"It was just a coincidence I came across them. If they hadn’t kidnapped my friend, I wouldn’t have gotten involved."

"Chen, is your friend okay? Do you need the brothers to help out?"

"No need, I can handle it myself. That’s it for now, I’m still driving. We’ll chat another day."

"Okay."

After hanging up the phone, Ling Chen’s brow furrowed slightly. It turned out all this was the doing of those thugs from North City District. Well, they would have to be dealt with sooner or later. This opportunity was good for a crackdown on their arrogance.

During his contemplation, Ling Chen had already driven to the port.

Gazing out of the car window at the pitch-dark sea surface, he saw a cargo ship slowly approaching the port, preparing to dock.

In the port’s parking lot, Ling Chen also spotted several luxury cars worth millions.

Yes, it’s here!

Getting out of the car, Ling Chen, concerned about Leng Feifei’s safety, quickly ran towards the mooring location of the cargo ship.

Without waiting for the ship to come to a complete stop, Ling Chen leaped up, grabbed onto the net ropes on the side of the ship, and swiftly climbed aboard.

"Who’s there?"

A young man who was preparing to secure the ropes on the deck spotted the suddenly appearing Ling Chen and immediately shouted, picking up a harpoon nearby and charging at him.

"Scram!"

Ling Chen didn’t even glance at the young man, kicking him down to the ground, and then hurried towards the interior of the ship.

Pushing open the door, before even entering, Ling Chen immediately heard a dispute coming from inside.

"Damn it! I spent so much money on those women, why can’t I have my way with them?"

"Calm down, please. It’s not that we’re stopping you, but Lady Tong just called saying those women can’t be touched for now. If you have any complaints, you can go talk to Lady Tong later. I believe she will give everyone a satisfactory explanation."

"When it was time to take our money, you were so willing. Why the change of face now? Fine, get your boss to refund my money immediately, and I won’t say another word, I’ll just leave. If you can’t do that, then get out of the way quickly and don’t disturb our mood."

"This... Gentlemen, I’ve already called Lady Tong, but there’s been no answer. Maybe you could wait a bit longer?"

"..."

Following the noise, Ling Chen quickly located the arguing parties—one side was a group of middle-aged men in robes, seven or eight in total, with indignant faces, furious; the other side was five young men, with the oldest appearing to be in charge of the ship.

At that moment, the group noticed Ling Chen’s arrival, and they all focused their attention on him, asking, "Who are you?"

Ling Chen was too lazy to waste words with them, fixating on the ship’s person in charge and demanded, "Where are the women locked up?"

"You..."

"Your Lady Tong has already been taken into police custody, and the police will be here any minute now. None of you will be able to escape."

Hearing this, everyone’s expression changed. Especially for those middle-aged men in robes, who were well-known figures—if the police caught them, their reputations would be completely ruined.

As several middle-aged men hurriedly scrambled to escape, the person in charge of the ship hesitated for a moment and immediately followed suit with his subordinates.

At this time, Ling Chen had no time to deal with them—a priority was Leng Feifei’s safety.

After searching several rooms, Ling Chen still couldn’t find Leng Feifei’s whereabouts. Just then, a seductive moan suddenly reached Ling Chen’s ears.

He followed the sound to a locked door and, without saying a word, slammed his body into it.

Bang!

The door flung open, revealing a sensual scene inside that made Ling Chen’s eyes widen, unable to look away for a long time.
