Chapter 536: Chapter 532: Seeing Liu Xiyao Again

It’s her!

Ling Chen never expected to encounter her here. In an instant, he realized that it was this elegant and luxurious woman who had provided the key to their cell and helped them avoid a disaster just now.

Liu Xiyao!

Ever since he learned about Liu Xiyao’s connection with God Organization, Ling Chen had little contact with her, trying his best to avoid her. There was no helping it, every time he saw Liu Xiyao, Ling Chen was reminded of her betrayal. No matter how prominent her identity or how beautiful she was, Ling Chen wouldn’t show her a friendly face.

With his temperament, it was already very generous of him not to have killed Liu Xiyao.

"Why are you here?" Ling Chen asked.

"Don’t ask so many questions now, hurry in," Liu Xiyao glanced left and right down the corridor, and after making sure no one was around, she welcomed Ling Chen and He Ziyun into the room.

After closing the door, Ling Chen looked around at the environment. Although this was an underground base, the conditions here were no worse than those of a five-star hotel. The luxury of the place was indicative of Liu Xiyao’s status and identity here.

"Follow me," Liu Xiyao hurriedly led Ling Chen and the other into the next-door storeroom after they entered. She moved the piled-up items in the corner, revealing a square floor tile.

At Liu Xiyao’s gesture, Ling Chen lifted the floor tile. Suddenly, below was a narrow and enclosed space.

"The people outside will come looking soon; you’d better hurry and hide in here," Liu Xiyao urged anxiously.

Ling Chen said helplessly, "Such a small place can’t fit two people." With that, he turned to He Ziyun, "Mr. He, you go in first; I’ll find another place."

"You should go instead, I..."

He Ziyun was about to refuse when he heard Liu Xiyao say, "Stop going back and forth. Old man, please go in, I will find another place for Ling Chen to hide."

Hearing this, He Ziyun didn’t hesitate anymore and quickly jumped down. The space here was small, but there were porous ventilation ducts installed inside. Even if the floor tile was closed, it wouldn’t cause suffocation. Moreover, there was a lamp inside, as well as compressed biscuits and mineral water; food and drink were all available. It was like a simple shelter.

Once He Ziyun was ready, Ling Chen immediately put the floor tile and other items back in place. This way, no one would be able to tell that there was a person hidden there.

Leaving the storeroom, Ling Chen asked curiously, "How can you have such a place here?"

"When this base was first built, many factors were considered, including invasions from outside. If the base is destroyed and there’s no chance to escape, we can hide inside and wait for rescue."

So that was it!

Ling Chen nodded, then asked, "You haven’t answered my question yet. How come you’re here?"

"Do you still remember what I told you before?"

"I remember."

Liu Xiyao had once told him that she was a bastard child and her father was a member of a significant family. Due to various reasons, she had suffered a great deal of humiliation. Later, she met a kind person who took her around different countries and raised her. That person’s identity was a high-ranking official within God Organization.

"Are you saying that person brought you here?"

"I’ve been here for several months now."

No wonder!

During this time in East Sea City, Ling Chen hadn’t heard a single piece of news about Liu Xiyao; it turns out she had been brought here.

As he pondered, Ling Chen had a thought and asked, "The person you mentioned, wouldn’t happen to be the person in charge of this base, would they?"

"He indeed is; I only found out this time. He never revealed his identity within the God Organization before."

"Do you know where he is right now?"

"He had to leave because of some business and might not return for a couple of days."

"Aren’t you afraid that he will punish you for helping me like this? The God Organization has always been ruthless towards those who betray them, never showing any mercy."

Miss Liu sighed softly and said in a melancholy tone, "He saved me years ago and made me who I am, for which I am grateful. However, this gratitude is only towards him personally, not for his actions. I have never fully understood the doings of the God Organization and didn’t wish to get too involved. But while staying at the base recently, I’ve seen too many unacceptable things. Although I hate to admit it, I can’t sever my ties to the God Organization. Therefore, I hope to do something to make amends."

"When you were captured the other day, I received the news and have been thinking of ways to rescue you. Luckily, that man trusts me enough to grant me significant authority. However, I fear I can’t hide this for long; they will eventually trace it back to me."

"Don’t worry, as long as I can get away, I’ll take you with me."

While they were talking, a ’thud thud thud’ knocking sound came from outside the room.

With a look of concern, Liu Xiyao said, "They’ve come looking; you’d better find a place to hide."

Hide?

Ling Chen looked around the room but found no suitable place to conceal himself.

As the knocking outside got increasingly urgent, Liu Xiyao, anxious, pulled Ling Chen into her own bedroom and then pointed at the large bed, "Hurry up and get in there, hide under the quilt."

As she spoke, Liu Xiyao started to strip off her clothes.

Seeing her actions, Ling Chen was momentarily stunned, his face filled with confusion as he watched her, not understanding her intentions.

Feeling Ling Chen’s gaze, Liu Xiyao’s cheeks blushed a deep red. Feeling embarrassed, she quickly turned her body away, no longer facing Ling Chen directly.

"Don’t... don’t look..." Liu Xiyao murmured softly.

Though her body had been seen by Ling Chen before due to an accident, stripping in front of him now was different. No matter how worldly she may be, as a woman, she still felt the innate shyness stirring within her.

With a light cough, Ling Chen forced himself to look away from her fair complexion. He then lifted the quilt, slid into it, and covered his body. However, even though he was concealed, the obvious rise in the quilt made it clear someone was underneath.

At this moment, Liu Xiyao finished stripping down to a set of attractive lingerie and then took a nightgown from behind the door and put it on. Once done, she approached the door.

Before opening the door, Liu Xiyao tousled her hair purposely, feigning the disheveled look of just having woken up.

As the door opened, a Caucasian man stood outside, accompanied by two of his men.

"Miss Liu."

Seeing Liu Xiyao’s attire, the Caucasian man was taken aback for a moment, quickly lowering his eyes to the floor, unable to face her directly for fear of being impolite. He was well aware of this woman’s status in that man’s eyes; in the entire base, she was the one woman he dared not offend.
