Chapter 577: Chapter 574: The Wanted Criminal

Ling Chen was well aware of the old General’s temperament, he said so, which meant this matter was very likely under control.

"General, Wu Jun only gave me forty-eight hours, so we have to hurry and can’t delay for too long."

"I know that, just stay here for now, I will arrange for Tang Yuan to contact you."

After seeing off Qiao Zhen and his two companions, Ling Chen stood alone at the windowsill, gazing at the night scene outside, his brows furrowed as he silently prayed for Nanrong Wanqing and Hu Fei.

The night passed.

Ling Chen sat in the room, having spent a sleepless night, he was still patiently waiting for news.

At seven o’clock in the morning, the ringtone of the cellphone on the desk suddenly sounded. Glancing at the incoming caller ID, Ling Chen hastily picked up the phone, eager to ask: "Old Tang, have you sorted it out?"

"Something happened." A deep voice came from Tang Yuan on the phone.

"What happened?" Ling Chen’s heart jolted, he hurriedly asked, "What’s going on?"

"The General and Mr. Han have been captured."

"What?"

Hearing this, Ling Chen’s face changed dramatically, he said in a deep voice, "Who dares to arrest them?"

"Who else but that bastard, the General went back last night to negotiate with him, hoping the bastard would make things easier. Who knew the bastard was totally unmoved and even scolded the General, saying he shouldn’t have protected you. Not only that, he suspected that you might have been bought by the God Organization like Wu Jun, insisting on sending someone to arrest you for interrogation. You know the General’s temper, he couldn’t hold back at the moment, he pulled out a gun and pointed it at that bastard’s head, forcing him to open the warehouse door."

"And what about you, are you okay?"

"The General gave me the HZ1 and told me to bring it out for you. I’m on my way to the hotel now, but the situation is a bit tricky, that bastard has sent quite a few people after me, I’m afraid I won’t be able to meet up with you."

As Tang Yuan spoke, his voice suddenly became more rushed: "Tang Yuan, there’s no time, hurry to the train station, we’ll meet there."

After speaking, before Ling Chen could say anything more, the phone was hung up.

Time was of the essence, without time to think any further, Ling Chen quickly packed up and left the hotel.

In less than twenty minutes, Ling Chen arrived outside the train station by taxi. Surveying the crowd amidst the bustle, his eyes roamed, searching for any sign of Tang Yuan.

Suddenly, a shouting voice came from the crowd in front: "Stop, don’t run!"

Ling Chen’s gaze shifted, only to see Tang Yuan pushing through the crowd, straining to break free, with at least a dozen men in suits following him.

In the heat of the chase, Tang Yuan’s eyes met Ling Chen’s and, brightening, he rushed over with increased speed.

The moment they met, Tang Yuan lightly reached into Ling Chen’s pocket without any hesitation, brushing past him and continued racing forward.

Those men in suits were only focused on Tang Yuan, completely overlooking Ling Chen at their side.

At this moment, Tang Yuan, who had struggled out from the crowd aimed for a dash toward the roadside. But he had not run far when he was tackled to the ground by several men in suits who had caught up from the side.

"Let’s see where you run now!"

A suit-clad man, panting heavily, fiercely kicked Tang Yuan’s midsection. Unsatisfied, he delivered several more kicks.

Seeing Tang Yuan being brutally kicked, Ling Chen’s eyes instantly turned cold, his fists clenched, ready to step forward.

However, as Tang Yuan was pulled up from the ground, he noticed Ling Chen’s move and quickly gestured with his eyes for him to stop, gently shaking his head, signaling him not to come over.

Ling Chen glanced and then noticed that the bulges at the waists of these men in suits - they all carried weapons. Moreover, there was a gun pressed against Tang Yuan’s back; if he were to act rashly, it could jeopardize Tang Yuan’s life.

Seeing those men in suits taking Tang Yuan away by car, Ling Chen could only watch helplessly, unable to do anything.

The old General, Han Bing, and Tang Yuan could only be rescued later when another opportunity arose.

Walking into the train station, Ling Chen reached into his pocket and pulled out a key. The key had been sneakily placed in his pocket by Tang Yuan as he passed by him.

404!

Looking at the number marked on the key, Ling Chen quickly located the train station’s storage locker and used the key to open the corresponding locker. Instantly, a black backpack was revealed inside the locker.

Unzipping the bag, as expected, inside was a transparent cylindrical container filled with HZ1.

Shouldering the backpack, Ling Chen turned and left the train station, then hailed a cab to the airport at the roadside.

With the item in hand, it was time to head back to Changling City.

The cab moved along the road, with Ling Chen sitting in the back, watching the traffic flow outside the window, his gaze suddenly sharpened, and he thought to himself that something was not right.

The cab had just passed the hotel where he had stayed the previous night, and he clearly saw several cars parked outside the hotel, with more than a dozen men in suits hurriedly entering the hotel.

When those people captured Tang Yuan and didn’t find the HZ1, they would definitely suspect him.

This was trouble!

As expected by Ling Chen, when he arrived at the airport, there were many more policemen outside, each holding a mobile phone, scrutinizing the surrounding crowd.

It was clear enough that they had his photo displayed on their phones.

The airport was locked down, and other places were surely the same. The HZ1 was so important, they would undoubtedly spare no effort to search for his whereabouts.

It looked like he could only leave by land. Luckily, there was enough time, and a delay of a few hours was not a major issue.

As he was thinking this, Ling Chen suddenly saw several Lincoln Sedans approaching the airport’s intersection.

When the Lincolns stopped, several airport security guards who had been waiting at the entrance immediately greeted them, surrounding the cars to prevent bystanders from getting close.

As the car doors opened, Ling Chen was taken aback. To his surprise, the person who stepped out of the Lincoln was Tang Shiyun.

In addition to Tang Shiyun, Zhu Yansong was present, followed by seven or eight assistants and entourage, carrying both large and small bags.

He hadn’t expected to encounter her here.

Ling Chen’s lips curved up slightly, and an idea quickly came to mind.

He glanced around, then made his way into the oncoming crowd. Moving through the crowd, he ended up with a duckbill cap and a scarf, both swiped from someone else.

Having donned the scarf and cap, Ling Chen quickened his pace, heading straight towards the group where Tang Shiyun was.

"Sir, I’m sorry, but you cannot go through here," an airport security guard blocked Ling Chen, signaling him to leave.

Ling Chen couldn’t be bothered with him, and shouted loudly, "Girl!"

Hearing that familiar address, Tang Shiyun, walking in the middle of the group, quickly turned her head, her face full of joy as she looked around, finally fixing her gaze on the waving Ling Chen.

"Ling!"

Tang Shiyun let out a joyous laugh, her delicate face brimming with happiness.

With Tang Shiyun speaking up, the security guard naturally did not dare stop Ling Chen any longer, immediately allowing him to pass.
