Chapter 484: Chapter 480: Safe Return Home

At two o’clock in the afternoon, the flight carrying Ling Chen finally arrived at East Sea International Airport.

Stepping out of the airport, Qiu Yong and the others went straight back to their accommodations to pack their luggage, ready to leave. Ling Chen had wanted to see them off, but Qiu Yong said that there would be plenty of opportunities in the future, and as they were all easy-going people, there was no need for such formalities.

After seeing Qiu Yong and his group off in a taxi, Ling Chen patted Hu Fei on the shoulder and said, "Fatty, I owe you big time for this, thanks!"

Ling Chen’s thank you was heartfelt; if it weren’t for Hu Fei’s timely arrival, he would have been buried at sea by now.

"Alright! No need for thanks, just remember what I’ve done for you."

"Right!" Ling Chen switched topics, asking, "What’s going on with that Secret Society situation, any results yet?"

"You mean the Snake King?" Hu Fei also looked puzzled when mentioning this, saying, "It’s a strange situation. The Snake King complained to the Secret Society about me, saying I violated the middleman’s rules. According to the rules, the Secret Society should investigate me, but months have passed and there’s been no action, I’m not sure if they’ve forgotten about it."

"What about the Snake King?" Ling Chen inquired, "Any news of him?"

"Nothing. I’ve been keeping an eye out for him, but these past few months, he hasn’t appeared at all. I’ve also asked other connections, and no one has any news of him – the guy seems to have vanished into thin air."

"Keep an eye out. I don’t think he’d give up that easily."

"Got it, I’m heading back then. We’ll touch base when we have the chance."

After watching Hu Fei leave, Ling Chen also took a taxi toward the headquarters of Hongyu Group. Nanrong Wanqing should be at the office by now.

Sitting in the cab, Ling Chen was still thinking about the Snake King.

Originally from what Kaelina had told him, the Snake King’s real name was Nanrong Zhengqing, the brother to Nanrong Yong and son of Nanrong Gang, also the uncle of Nanrong Wanqing.

Based on his guess, something unpleasant must have happened between the young brothers Nanrong Yong and Nanrong Gang, resulting in Nanrong Gang leaving the Nanrong Family, leading a lonely life, and ultimately dying in a foreign land. Nanrong Zhengqing, as the son of Nanrong Gang, tried to assassinate Nanrong Wanqing multiple times, undoubtedly seeking vengeance for his father.

Although the specifics of their grudges were unclear, from his perspective, these were old grievances of the previous generation, and it wasn’t necessary to involve the next generation. Especially Nanrong Zhengqing, it was too much for him to harm his own niece.

Regardless, Ling Chen had to capture Nanrong Zhengqing before he could strike again and ensure that he would not endanger Nanrong Wanqing’s safety.

Lost in thought, the taxi arrived at its destination.

After getting out of the cab, Ling Chen, with a backpack slung over one shoulder, strode straight into the company lobby.

"Hey! Isn’t that Ling? Tsk tsk! Ling, haven’t seen you for more than ten days, where have you been gallivanting without saying hello to your brother?"

Seeing Wei Jun approaching with a smile on his face, Ling Chen responded with a laugh, "Wei, I could never be as carefree as you. Look at how radiant you look, have you struck it lucky with love or hit the jackpot recently?"

Wei Jun smiled proudly and said, "Can’t say I struck the jackpot, but I did make a little fortune. How about it, I’ll treat you tonight, take you out for some fun?"

"No thanks, better to save that offer for someone else."

Having hung around Wei Jun enough, Ling Chen knew exactly what the man was into; from gambling to women, everything but drugs. Ling Chen had been considering whether to keep his distance to avoid being led astray.

"Wei, where’s the chairman?"

"She should be in her office. Are you looking for her?"

Ling Chen nodded and said, "I’ll go greet the chairman first, then come to your office later."

"Okay, I’ll wait with tea ready."

Taking the elevator to the top floor of the company, he saw the secretary Wang Lan holding a cup of milk tea, wearing headphones, and watching the computer screen with relish, completely unaware of Ling Chen’s arrival.

Ling Chen silently chuckled, stealthily moved behind her, and attempted to play a prank on her.

However, when he got behind her chair, he realized that an erotic movie was playing on the computer screen. And this girl, fearing she’d be caught, had minimized the video window.

Getting closer, he could even hear the moaning and panting from the headphones.

Tsk tsk!

Who would have thought, this girl who usually seems so quiet and demure, has such a hobby.

"Ah!"

At that moment, Wang Lan caught sight of a reflection on her screen and was startled, almost spilling her milk tea.

Seeing her frantically trying to close the video, Ling Chen suppressed his laughter and said with a straight face, "Lan, you’re slacking off during work hours. Be careful or the chairman might dock your pay."

"Ling... Mr. Ling... I... um..." Wang Lan’s cheeks blushed as she stammered, "When did you get here?"

Ling Chen teased, "I’ve been here since the couple in the video was switching positions."

Hearing this, Wang Lan’s face turned as red as an apple, both cute and tempting.

Seeing her embarrassed and coy demeanor, Ling Chen laughed heartily, "Alright, I’ll stop teasing you. Honestly, are you longing for a man? It’s about time at your age to find a boyfriend."

Wang Lan, with her head down, said embarrassedly, "I have a boyfriend now."

"Really? When did this happen? Last time I asked Wanqing, she said you were still single."

Wang Lan said, blushing, "I just started dating him a few days ago."

"No wonder..." Ling Chen said with a meaningful drawl, "Well, you keep on learning. I won’t bother you. But as someone with experience, I think these things require more practice."

"Mr. Ling!" Wang Lan was so embarrassed she wished she could vanish into thin air.

"All right, all right, I’ll stop," Ling Chen ceased his teasing and asked, "Is the chairman in the office?"

"Yes. Do you want me to notify the chairman?"

"No need, I’ll go in myself." With that, Ling Chen walked towards the office. After a few steps, he turned back, whispered to her, "Lan, if someone comes looking for the chairman later, just say the chairman is busy." After speaking, he even winked at Wang Lan.

"Got it." Wang Lan nodded with a red face, understanding Ling Chen’s meaning.

Pushing open the door to the chairman’s office, Ling Chen peeked in to see Nanrong Wanqing sitting at the desk, busy with paperwork. Seeing that she hadn’t noticed him, Ling Chen quietly shut the door and tiptoed over.

It had been about ten days since he last saw her. Nanrong Wanqing was as beautiful as ever, with delicate features, silky smooth skin that made one yearn to bite into it. Below her fair neck, she wore a modest one-piece woolen sweater, which completely concealed any hint of allure at the neckline.
