Chapter 547: Chapter 543 Strong Army Plan

However, Ling Chen found it strange that since the Blood Dripping Device had become an auction item, it should have been inspected. Why did no one discover the skull inside? Could it be that the device’s mechanism went unnoticed?

After thinking for a while, Ling Chen cast aside the distracting thoughts in his mind and decided not to dwell on it any further. Some things are just like that, hard to figure out what exactly happened in between.

Putting the skull aside, Ling Chen picked up the Blood Dripping Device and began to study it seriously. This was an ancient hidden weapon, and as far as he knew, very few of the Blood Dripping Devices that existed today were well-preserved.

The Blood Dripping Device in front of him, both in terms of exterior appearance and internal structure, was completely intact without a single crack, and could almost be described as perfect.

"Eh! You just said this thing wasn’t expensive, how much did you pay for it?"

"Over seven hundred thousand. Someone bid over two hundred thousand, but I couldn’t be bothered to haggle, so I just added five hundred thousand."

Tsk tsk!

Rich people are really different, so capricious.

"What do you plan to do with this thing, keep it at home as a collectible?"

"I don’t know, if you like it, I’ll just give it to you." Perhaps because the skull had fallen out of it, Su Lin was less interested in it, even feeling a bit disgusted, and couldn’t wait to get rid of it by handing it over to Ling Chen.

"Alright, since you’re so generous, I won’t be polite." Ling Chen didn’t refuse, packing the Blood Dripping Device into a cardboard box and also took the skull with him. From Su Lin’s expression, it was clear she definitely wouldn’t keep the skull in her room as an ornament.

Back in his room, Ling Chen stuffed the skull into a cabinet and then started playing with the Blood Dripping Device.

He had only seen this kind of hidden weapon on television before and was not very familiar with it, nor did he know how to operate it. After several attempts, he was unable to deploy the Blood Dripping Device. Its operation was difficult, and without extensive practice, it was hard to control its direction and force.

Forget it! He would study it more when he had time in the future.

By six o’clock, accompanied by Zhong Wei and others, Nanrong Wanqing finally returned.

Having disappeared for several days without any news, Ling Chen naturally had to find an excuse. Fortunately, Nanrong Wanqing was quite familiar with his background, so she didn’t ask too much, only reminded him to be careful outside and not to get into trouble.

After dinner, Ling Chen sat with Nanrong Wanqing on the living room sofa, talked about love, expressed feelings, and also took some small advantages, which made Ling Chen quite happy.

However, despite taking advantages, Ling Chen did not dare to be too presumptuous. It wasn’t that Nanrong Wanqing was unwilling, but Ling Chen was afraid he couldn’t control himself.

Around ten o’clock, Nanrong Wanqing, who had been at work all day, felt sleepy and directly cuddled into Ling Chen’s arms and fell asleep.

Looking at Nanrong Wanqing’s delicate face and her skin pale as snow, Ling Chen couldn’t help but lean in closer, inhaling her faint body fragrance and gently kissed her cheek.

When Nanrong Wanqing was fast asleep, Ling Chen took her to the bedroom on the second floor, then returned to his own room, ready to have a good night’s sleep.

However, not long after he lay down and was about to drift off, Ling Chen was awakened by the urgent ringing of his cellphone.

Picking up the phone, Ling Chen glanced at the caller ID and immediately answered, asking, "Fatty, calling me so late, could it be that you’ve got some news?"

"No news, I’m calling to remind you, you’re in big trouble."

Hearing this, Ling Chen sat upright on his bed and asked, "What trouble?"

"I’ve just received intelligence that there have been a lot of suspicious people at East Sea City’s airport and train stations. Additionally, an old acquaintance of yours has also arrived in East Sea City."

"Old acquaintance? Who?"

"Yi Shuiyan."

"Is it him?" Ling Chen was startled and asked, "Do you know the purpose of his visit to East Sea City?"

"You wouldn’t guess it, just over ten minutes ago, Yi Shuiyan met with those suspicious people I mentioned, and that’s why I’m calling to remind you to be careful."

"Besides this, is there any more specific intelligence?"

"Those people are likely members of the God Organization. I’ve just checked, and some of them are individuals who disappeared over a decade ago, with experiences matching those of Jiang Xinwu and others. Hey, I wonder if they could be coming for you?"

"I’m afraid so."

Louis knew that he had taken the hard drive from the lab, and if the information on it was especially important, the God Organization would definitely do everything possible to retrieve it.

However, for Yi Shuiyan to be interacting with those people, could it be... Yi Shuiyan has also joined the God Organization? Since Yi Shuiyan is a disciple of the Dangyang Sect, if he has joined, perhaps the Dangyang Sect is also involved.

If it was before, Ling Chen might not have considered this possibility. But, with the precedent set by the Han Family, Ling Chen thinks this kind of thing is very likely.

With less than a month until the New Year, he had hoped for a peaceful celebration, but now it seemed this year might not be so quiet.

"Fatty, keep an eye on those people, especially Yi Shuiyan. I need to know his every move."

"You don’t need to tell me; I’ve already instructed my people to do so."

Hanging up the phone, Ling Chen sighed and once again laid back down to sleep.

...

The next day.

Ling Chen drove Nanrong Wanqing to her company, then hurried to the West District of East Sea City.

Upon reaching his destination, he parked the car by the roadside and walked alone into a nearby office building.

Reaching the thirteenth floor of the office building, as soon as he stepped out of the elevator, he saw ’Dongming Security Company’ in golden letters, with an emblem representing the company next to it.

Seeing Ling Chen appear at the company entrance, a receptionist immediately approached him with a gentle smile on her delicate face, asking, "Hello, sir, how may I help you?"

"I’m here to see Kai... oh no, I mean President Jiang. Tell him Ling Chen is here to see him for business."

"Yes, Mr. Ling."

After the receptionist hung up the phone, shortly after, Jiang Yunkai appeared at the entrance. Before approaching, he began to wave and greet.

"What brings you here today?"

"I came to discuss something with you."

"Come, let’s talk in my office."

Once in the office, Jiang Yunkai handed Ling Chen a cup of freshly brewed tea and asked, "So, what’s up?"

"How many staff do the three security companies currently have?"

"Over five hundred in total, but only fifty can be considered elite; the rest are just average. Why, do you need manpower?"

Ling Chen nodded and said, "I might face some trouble soon, although I can ask others for help, I prefer to rely on my own strength rather than depend on outsiders. I still have a long road ahead, and I can’t always depend on outsiders for help."

"That makes sense. What’s your plan?"

"I’ve already got the people, what I lack now is equipment. No matter how inexperienced the person, as long as they’re well-equipped, they can form a significant force. What do you think?"
