Chapter 539: Chapter 535 Mr. Tang

"Mr. Louis, this is the person you wanted, isn’t it?" the middle-aged man asked with a smile.

Louis nodded and said, "Exactly. Where is she, and when can I see her?"

"Don’t worry, she’s in a very safe place. After we complete the transaction, I will definitely hand her over to you. Mr. Louis, isn’t it time for you to let me meet the person I want?"

Louis put down the tablet he was holding and said, "Mr. Tang, I’m very sorry!"

"What do you mean?" The middle-aged man’s smile froze slightly as he asked.

"We had captured Ling Chen and another person, but there were some problems, which led to their escape. However, you don’t need to worry. Though they have escaped, they are still within this base, and sooner or later we will find them. Before that, I hope you can give me a day or two, I will settle things as quickly as possible."

The middle-aged man frowned and said displeasedly, "Mr. Louis, since the person isn’t in your hands, you should have informed me in advance. Had I known earlier, I wouldn’t have traveled all this way, wasting time."

"Mr. Tang, please cool down. It’s only a delay of a day or two, it won’t take too much of your time. Besides, Mr. Lin has instructed me that he will try his best to compensate for your loss in this matter."

After pondering for a while, the middle-aged man asked, "When can I meet Mr. Lin?"

"Mr. Lin has some personal matters to deal with, and he probably won’t return for a few days. If Mr. Tang has the time, why not stay for a few more days? Once Mr. Lin is back, he will certainly take good care of you."

Hearing this, the middle-aged man hesitated for a moment, then nodded, "Alright, I do have some matters I would like to discuss with Mr. Lin in person." After finishing his words, the middle-aged man changed the topic, "There’s another matter, Mr. Louis, remember our agreement, I want Ling Chen and that person alive. If they die, don’t blame me for canceling our deal."

"Mr. Tang, if I may be so bold to ask, do you have some personal grudge with Ling Chen?"

"That’s my personal affair, you’re better off not knowing."

"In that case, I won’t ask anymore." After finishing speaking, Louis beckoned over a subordinate, instructing, "Take Mr. Tang to their accommodation, remember to treat them well, do not neglect our honored guest."

"Mr. Tang, this way, please!"

After seeing the guest off, Liu Xiyao slowly rose to her feet and said, "If there’s nothing else, I’ll be leaving."

"Miss Liu."

Louis called out to Liu Xiyao who was about to leave, catching up to her, "Miss Liu, don’t rush off. I have something to discuss with you, please come with me."

Liu Xiyao glanced at the clock on the wall, a trace of worry flashing in her beautiful eyes. According to their plan, Ling Chen was about to take action in a minute or two. Leaving with Louis at this time would make it very difficult for her to meet up with Ling Chen.

With these thoughts, Liu Xiyao felt at a loss for a moment.

"Miss Liu, what’s wrong? Do you have something even more important to do?" Louis asked with a meaningful tone.

"No... nothing." Liu Xiyao, fearing arousing Louis’s suspicion, said calmly, "Let’s go. Let’s get things done quickly, I still need to go back and rest."

Meanwhile, in the room where Liu Xiyao was staying, Ling Chen was sitting on the sofa, fiddling with a laptop. The computer was already connected to the base’s system; he just had to press the enter key to shut down the entire system.

"Ling Chen, the time is almost up, we can start now," He Ziyun reminded him from the side.

Ling Chen nodded and placed his finger on the enter key. However, just as he was about to shut down the system, a rustling noise suddenly came from the door.

Someone!

A thought crossed Ling Chen’s mind—could it be Liu Xiyao? This idea was immediately dismissed by Ling Chen. Judging by the sounds outside, there was more than one person.

Had their location been exposed?

As thoughts raced in his head, Ling Chen quickly got up and dashed into the bedroom. Simultaneously, He Ziyun swiftly retreated to the utility room, leaving the door ajar, secretly watching the movements at the entrance.

After a while, the door opened, and several fully armed men stepped inside.

Ling Chen, hiding in the bedroom, heard the footsteps approaching closer and his brow furrowed instantly. The presence of these men at this moment suggested only two possibilities: either the enemy had started to suspect Liu Xiyao, or Liu Xiyao had betrayed them. In his heart, Ling Chen hoped it was the former possibility. But given Liu Xiyao’s past actions, Ling Chen’s mind swung with uncertainty.

Backed against the wall, Ling Chen held his breath, listening intently to the steps of the opposition. Soon, a hand pushed open the bedroom door.

The moment the door opened, Ling Chen, without saying a word, spun around and threw a punch, knocking the man down to the ground.

At that moment, He Ziyun, hiding in the utility room, leaped into action. In the blink of an eye, the men in the living room had been taken down without firing a single shot.

Looking at the several unconscious men on the floor, Ling Chen walked up, picked up the guns from the ground, and put several grenades into his pockets.

Once everything was ready, Ling Chen checked the time and went straight to the computer, pressing the enter key.

In an instant, the living room lights went out. But just a few seconds later, the emergency lights came on.

"Go!" He Ziyun said sternly.

They had only three minutes; every second counted.

As the system shut down, all computer-controlled doors in the base opened. Along the way, Ling Chen and He Ziyun had a clear path, heading swiftly towards the exit.

"That’s far enough, Ling Chen."

Hearing He Ziyun’s voice, Ling Chen nodded and cautioned, "Mr. He, be very careful."

"You too."

After speaking, He Ziyun tapped his toes lightly and dashed like a breeze down another corridor.

As per their original plan, He Ziyun would go to find Little Hua’s whereabouts and meanwhile distract the enemies’ attention to give Ling Chen ample time to escape.

After seeing He Ziyun off, Ling Chen pulled out the crude map drawn by Liu Xiyao and located the reception room, then hurried over.

Bang!

Suddenly, a gunshot rang out, a bullet flew past Ling Chen’s side, hit the wall, and sparked.

Seeing the security personnel ahead blocking his way, Ling Chen didn’t hesitate—immediately pulling a grenade from his pocket and tossing it forward.

Boom!

The explosion rocked the corridor, with fire and smoke billowing everywhere.

Ling Chen, with a gun in hand, didn’t stop for a second, continuing his race to the destination. For him, the pressing priority was to find Liu Xiyao and escape the base as quickly as possible.
