Chapter 575: Chapter 572 Wu Jun’s Conditions

Ling Chen, suppressing the rage in his heart, gritted his teeth and said, "What do you want me to do?"

Wu Jun said with a smile over the phone, "Don’t rush. I hear you have quite a few friends with you. How about we find a time to meet? We can all sit down and have a chat. What do you think?"

"You set the time and place, I’ll be there punctually."

"Good, you’re as straightforward as ever. That’s settled then, wait for my notification."

After finishing, Wu Jun hung up the phone.

Putting down the receiver, Ling Chen looked at the people present and said in a deep voice, "It’s Wu Jun, he knows we’ve arrived in Changling City."

Zhou Jun slightly frowned and asked, "What does he want?"

"He’s arranged to meet us. Not just me, all of us. Miss Su, Mr. Sang Ji, representing Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion and Secret Society respectively, it’s up to you whether you go or not, I will not force you."

Sang Ji, unconcerned, replied, "Since I’ve come, I won’t leave empty-handed. Mr. Ling, rest assured, Secret Society has commanded me to assist you fully. No matter the danger, I’ll stand by your side."

Ling Chen nodded, expressed his thanks, then turned his gaze to Su Mei, asking, "Miss Su, what does the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion think?"

Su Mei opened her mouth, about to speak. However, before she could, Zhou Qi interjected, "The Pavilion Master’s status is unlike others; she should not easily put herself at risk. Pavilion Master, in my view, you should return to Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion as soon as possible. We few are enough to handle things here in Changling City."

"This..." Su Mei hesitated.

"Miss Su, Elder Zhou is right, you are the Pavilion Master of Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion; it needs your presence. If something were to happen to you, it would be a devastating blow to Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion," Ling Chen said. "You should listen to Elder Zhou’s advice and head back to the Pavilion."

"Alright then." Seeing Ling Chen speak up, Su Mei nodded gently, no longer conflicted.

Night fell.

After sending off Su Mei, everyone went back to the hotel to wait for Wu Jun’s message.

When Ling Chen pushed open the door of his hotel room, he saw a note on the floor. He picked it up and examined it, his expression immediately darkening.

It finally arrived!

Nine o’clock at night.

Ling Chen, accompanied by Sang Ji, Zhou Qi, Zhou Jun, and Song Ge, drove to a restaurant in Changling City.

The restaurant was located in the bustling downtown area of Changling City, occupying about a thousand square meters. Walking into the restaurant, Ling Chen led the way, only to find it eerily empty.

"Ling Chen, are we at the wrong place?"

Hearing Zhou Jun’s question, Ling Chen shook his head. The details on the note were clear; he couldn’t have mistaken it.

Just then, the sound of footsteps came from the staircase. Ling Chen looked up to see a man in a suit jogging down from upstairs.

"Mr. Ling, welcome, Mr. Wu is waiting for you upstairs." The suit-clad man gestured them to follow him up to the second floor of the restaurant.

When they reached the outside of a private room, Ling Chen pushed open the door and immediately saw Wu Jun sitting by a round table. He was alone in the room.

Seeing an enemy inflamed him with anger, and Ling Chen was no exception.

Just thinking about the man in front of him, the killer of Mu Zhiyuan and Chen Ping, a cold glint burst from Ling Chen’s eyes, itching to tear the man apart.

However, considering Nanrong Wanqing’s safety, Ling Chen had to suppress the hatred inside him and entered with an expressionless face.

"Elder Ling, welcome, welcome," Wu Jun laughed heartily, rising to greet him warmly, "Come, everyone, take a seat. There’s no one else here, no need to be formal."

Ling Chen, without uttering a word, sat opposite Wu Jun and coldly asked, "Stop the pretense. Since I’m here, let’s talk straight, I don’t have time to dawdle with you."

Facing Ling Chen’s icy words, Wu Jun’s smile remained, saying, "Elder Ling, don’t rush, we have plenty of time. First, try the red wine I prepared especially for you. This is a rare vintage from Lafite Vineyard, 1982; almost impossible to find on the market. I received it as a special reward from higher-ups for my distinguished service; I’ve never had the heart to drink it. I wouldn’t bring it out for anyone but you."

Hearing this, a fierce look flashed through Ling Chen’s eyes.

"Killing Uncle Mu and Mrs. Chen, forcing Ghost Organization to dissolve, is this what you call an achievement?"

"Elder Ling, water flows downwards, people strive upwards, who doesn’t seek better development? I dedicated over a decade to Ghost Organization and ended up with nothing."

"That’s just your excuse for betrayal."

"Think whatever you want, but I’m living well now, I can have many things just as I wish." Wu Jun turned his head towards Zhou Qi and others, his smile widening, "Elder Ling, I actually admire you, getting powers like Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion and Secret Society to willingly help you. But here, even if the General himself came, what could he do to us?"

"Wu Jun, don’t forget, this is Huaxia’s territory."

Wu Jun, smugly, said, "I know, and that’s exactly why they won’t dare to touch us here, unless they want to start a war."

Sang Ji sternly said, "We didn’t come here to listen to your nonsense. Tell us, what will it take for you to release Miss Nanrong?"

"Are you just here for Miss Nanrong? Elder Ling, don’t you want to save your friends?"

Hearing this, Ling Chen’s expression suddenly changed.

Just as expected!

Hu Fei and the others had fallen into the hands of God Organization.

"Where are they?"

"Relax, they are alive and well for now, but I can’t guarantee they will continue to be. If you want to save them, you’ll need to pay a price."

"What price?"

Wu Jun picked up a document from a nearby chair and threw it before Ling Chen, saying, "We lack a rare material developed by Ghost Organization. After the organization was dissolved, everything was moved to a new base. I know you have a good relationship with the General, so I’m asking for your help. Just bring me these materials, and I will immediately release your friends."

Ling Chen glanced at the document, didn’t even touch it, and directly said, "How can I trust your word? Do you really expect me to trust a traitor?"

Wu Jun chuckled, pulled out a cell phone from his pocket, and placed it in front of Ling Chen.

"I don’t need your trust. This is a countdown. If you can’t bring the materials back within the specified time, then sorry, you’ll never see your friends again." After saying this, Wu Jun stood up and walked out of the private room.
