Chapter 564: Chapter 560: Goddess Meets Goddess

Before long, a bowl of some unknown liquid was ready.

The old man carried the porcelain bowl to the bedside, propped up Ling Chen’s neck with one hand, then brought the bowl to his lips and said, "Drink up, this stuff is good for your injuries."

Ling Chen wrinkled his brow slightly at the pungent smell emanating from the bowl and asked, "What kind of medicine is this?"

Although the old man before him had saved him, he didn’t let his guard down. Being cautious never hurts, no matter the situation.

"This is a traditional remedy; rest assured, I have no reason to harm you. If I wanted to harm you, why would I bother saving you? Just drink it quickly."

Hearing this, Ling Chen thought it made sense, and without further hesitation, he braved the assault on his taste buds and downed the unknown medicinal liquid.

As the medicine went down his throat, Ling Chen immediately felt his head grow heavy and he drifted off to sleep. It wasn’t long before he fell into a deep slumber.

Watching Ling Chen asleep, the old man mumbled to himself, "Lucky for you, you have a strong life force. You took the Heavenly Mechanism Pill and it kept you breathing; otherwise, you’d be long gone."

...

East Sea City.

Wealthy Manor.

At this moment, Nanrong Wanqing and Liu Xiyao were sitting in the living room, staring at the entrance, hoping that Ling Chen would appear in their line of sight the next second. However, having waited for two or three days, there was still no sign of Ling Chen returning.

"Could he... could he have had an accident?" said Nanrong Wanqing, filled with anxiety.

Ever since the night Ling Chen asked her and Liu Xiyao to return, she had lost contact with him, without a single piece of news. What worried her the most was whether Ling Chen had been captured by those people, or worse... There was another possibility, but she dared not even think it.

At that moment, Nanrong Hao walked in from outside.

Seeing Nanrong Hao, Nanrong Wanqing immediately couldn’t sit still. She quickly got up to meet him, asking impatiently, "Did you find him?"

Nanrong Hao shook his head and said, "I asked the guys, they said Chen went to Jin Sea City a few days ago and hasn’t been heard from since."

Liu Xiyao asked with confusion, "What’s he doing in Jin Sea City?"

"I’m not too sure."

"Nanrong Hao, call the police right now," said Nanrong Wanqing, after deep deliberation.

"Call the police?" Nanrong Hao hesitated.

"What are you dazed for, go and make the call now," Nanrong Wanqing urged.

"Oh!" Once Sister had spoken, Nanrong Hao did not dare disobey and quickly took out his phone to dial the emergency number.

"Wanqing, don’t be too anxious," Su Lin, seeing the urgency on Nanrong Wanqing’s face, couldn’t help but console her, "You know how capable Ling Chen is. Anyone who confronts him is at a disadvantage, he won’t be in trouble."

Nanrong Wanqing sighed lightly and said, "I hope so, too, but it’s been two or three days with no news at all, how can I not worry?"

At this point, Nanrong Hao, who was standing by the window, put down his phone and said, "Sister, I’ve made the call. The police will be here soon."

Less than half an hour later, Xia Mutong, in a neat police uniform, came in with two subordinates.

"Miss Nanrong," Xia Mutong greeted and asked, "Was it you who called in the report just now?"

Anxious, Nanrong Wanqing got straight to the point, "Officer Xia, Ling Chen is missing, and I would like you to help me look for him."

"Disappeared?" Xia Mutong slightly startled, doubting whether she had misheard.

That scoundrel could actually disappear, what a strange occurrence. Knowing Ling Chen as she did, she assumed the scoundrel must be so enthralled by someone’s tender affections that he had forgotten to return.

Her mind wandered for a moment before Xia Mutong dismissed the distractions, and spoke seriously, "Miss Nanrong, you say he is missing, what evidence do you have to prove this? Perhaps he’s just gone out for fun and forgot to get in touch with you."

"That’s impossible, he’s not that kind of person."

Xia Mutong said with difficulty, "You can’t provide any clues. I’m afraid it’s going to be hard for me to help you."

"I..."

"We don’t need you to intervene in Ling Chen’s affairs."

Before Nanrong Wanqing could finish speaking, an agreeable voice came from the entrance. In an instant, everyone’s attention was focused on the doorway.

At the entrance of the room, a gracefully contoured woman walked in, her wrist adorned with an exquisite silver bracelet, a delicate necklace of an unknown material around her soft neck, shining brightly with dazzling multicolored hues.

Even though the woman’s face was obscured by a thin veil, the elegant figure, the faint outline visible behind the veil, and the temperament she displayed in her bearing made it clear that this woman was exceptionally striking.

Moreover, she was accompanied by an elder and several men, who were vigilantly guarding their surroundings.

"Who are you?" As the owner of this villa, Nanrong Wanqing asked.

"You may call me Su Mei," the woman replied indifferently.

Xia Mutong scrutinized the other party and asked, "You just said to not intervene in Ling Chen’s matters, what do you mean by that?"

Su Mei replied unapologetically, "This is something your police can’t handle, so it’s better if you don’t interfere, to avoid hindering us."

Hearing that, Xia Mutong was inwardly furious. This woman had the audacity to belittle the police.

"Miss Nanrong."

Without hesitation, Su Mei walked up to Nanrong Wanqing, extending her hand and said, "This is our first formal meeting. I’m very pleased to meet you."

Looking at Su Mei’s outstretched hand, Nanrong Wanqing asked, "Do you know me?"

"I’ve heard about you. Don’t forget we have a mutual friend, Ling Chen."

Ling Chen?

For some reason, when Su Mei mentioned his name, Nanrong Wanqing felt a pang of discomfort. She sensed a whiff of hostility from this woman.

However, thinking of the missing Ling Chen, Nanrong Wanqing immediately discarded the strange thoughts and asked, "Do you happen to know where Ling Chen is?"

"I’m not certain yet, but rest assured, I’ll do everything I can to find him." After speaking, Su Mei scanned the onlookers and said, "I have matters to attend to, if you’ll excuse me. Miss Nanrong, I believe we will have many more opportunities to meet in the future. Goodbye!"

After the words fell, Su Mei, surrounded by Zhou Qi and the others, turned and left the living room.

Watching Su Mei’s departing figure, Su Lin spoke discontentedly, "Who is this woman? She has no manners at all, acting as if this is her own home. Coming and going as she pleases."

"Forget it!" Nanrong Wanqing interjected, "It doesn’t matter who she is, as long as she can help us find Ling Chen."

"Miss Nanrong, rest assured, our police will certainly help you find Ling Chen," Xia Mutong spoke earnestly. Her competitive nature was already piqued, Su Mei’s comments earlier had made her feel slighted, and she found it very uncomfortable.

She was determined to see who could find Ling Chen first.
