Chapter 1605 - 1910: Ling Chen’s Suspicions (2)

Nanrong Wanqing shook her head and said, "I know what you’re worried about, but rest assured, he has no ill intentions towards me."

"Don’t think of him as being so simple," Ling Chen advised, "His background is definitely not simple, better to be cautious."

"I understand what you mean. However, don’t overthink him too much either. I’ve been running the company for years; if I haven’t learned anything else, I at least have a good eye for people. I can sense that he’s genuinely kind to me, without any malice."

Ling Chen said helplessly, "Better safe than sorry, don’t make a judgment too early."

Nanrong Wanqing smiled slightly and said, "I know you’re worried about me." Then she suddenly shifted the topic, "Has Shiyun contacted you these days?"

"Contacted me?" Ling Chen paused for a moment, rubbing his nose, "Why would she contact me for no reason."

Seeing Ling Chen’s guilty look, Nanrong Wanqing pursed her lips and smiled softly, "Don’t you know what happened?"

Uh-oh! Ling Chen thought something was amiss. From her tone, it seemed she knew about that news. Thinking quickly, he shook his head, "I have no idea what you’re talking about. Hey! By the way, why haven’t I seen Su Lin, isn’t she at home recently?"

When Ling Chen forcibly changed the subject, Nanrong Wanqing couldn’t help but feel a bit helpless. This man had everything perfect, but unfortunately, he was too outstanding. The better the man, the more easily he attracts women. But then again, if Ling Chen weren’t so exceptional, how could she have taken an interest in him.

However... Nanrong Wanqing sighed lightly and decided not to dwell on the issue.

"Lin has already started working, she found a suitable archaeological institution a while ago. She’s been there for almost a month now."

No wonder! Ling Chen nodded secretly. The Martial Arts Tournament was held recently, Nanrong Wanqing and Nanrong Hao both went, and Su Lin, who loves the excitement the most, didn’t go. It was somewhat surprising to him, but it turns out she had already started working.

As he was thinking, Ling Chen’s phone rang. He took out his phone, glanced at the caller ID, and immediately answered the call, asking, "Zhu Qing, what’s up?"

"You asked me to secretly track those assassins you let go, I’ve got results just now."

Upon hearing this, Ling Chen’s eyes lit up immediately, asking urgently, "Found the people behind it?"

"The mole hidden among the assassins just made a call at a public phone booth, and afterward, he bought a ticket to Jinhai City."

"Jinhai City?" Ling Chen was intrigued, could those controlling Jiang Yue’e have gone to Jinhai City? Thinking quickly, Ling Chen instructed, "Follow that person to Jinhai City and see what you can find."

"Got it."

"Be careful on your own."

After hanging up the phone, Nanrong Wanqing next to him asked, "Do you have to go out for something?"

"No," Ling Chen smiled and said, "I’m your personal bodyguard now, of course, I need to stay by your side. By the way! Are you going to the company later?"

Nanrong Wanqing nodded and said, "I’ve been busy in Beijing all this time, there are still a lot of tasks piled up at the headquarters. Nanrong Hao has already gone, but he probably can’t handle everything alone."

"Looks like Nanrong Hao has already settled in."

"Thanks to you, if it were in the past, with his personality, he definitely wouldn’t stay at the Hongyu Group obediently helping me. But now it’s good, he’s basically familiar with the company’s business. After training for another year or two, gaining enough experience, I can then hand over the heavy responsibilities of chairman to him."

"What are you planning to do then?" Ling Chen asked curiously.

"Me?" Nanrong Wanqing glanced at Ling Chen and said calmly, "Of course, it’s to find a man to take care of me."

Uh... Ling Chen smiled and rubbed his nose, this was no longer a hint, but an explicit indication. At this moment, he could not afford to hesitate even a bit. Because he knew, even the slightest hesitation would hurt Nanrong Wanqing.

"No problem." Ling Chen nodded straightforwardly, "I’ll take care of you then."

As they were talking, there was a ’knock knock knock’ sound at the door. Ling Chen got up and opened the door, only to see Zhong Wei standing outside, saying, "The car is ready, we can leave anytime."

After a brief preparation, Ling Chen, Nanrong Wanqing, Ling Gengqiu, and Qiang got into the luxurious yet discreet Rolls-Royce, escorted by two Land Rovers, slowly headed towards the Hongyu Group.

Upon arriving at the Hongyu Group headquarters, Ling Chen escorted Nanrong Wanqing to her office, then took Ling Gengqiu and Qiang to the adjacent lounge.

The lounge was well-equipped, with a TV, massager, bathroom, and pool table, it had everything. Just like usual, Ling Gengqiu was holding a phone, using social media apps to chat with girls. Since that severed limb was found, the quality of beauties Ling Gengqiu chatted with had been getting better and better, often staying out all night.

If it were someone else, they wouldn’t last, their body would sure be weak. But Ling Gengqiu was different, he practiced the Prajnaparamita Sutra, and in this aspect, his ability was very strong. Moreover, the more frequent, the more energetic he got. Honestly, Ling Chen sometimes envied him, probably no man wouldn’t want such a lifestyle.

After glancing at Ling Gengqiu playing with his phone, Ling Chen turned his gaze to Qiang beside him. This person was still the same as usual, sitting there quietly, without saying a word, not sure how he endured the boredom.

Maybe they spent quite a lot of time together in these past few days, Qiang’s attitude towards Ling Chen had softened a bit, no longer being so on guard all the time.

At this time, Qiang stood up from his seat and walked straight to the bathroom in the lounge. After a while, he came out, walked to the sink, his eyes fixed on the square mirror. Suddenly, he reached out his hand, touching the four corners of the mirror. But this mirror was embedded in the wall, the surface had no additional screws to hold it in place.

Qiang touched it, then withdrew his hand, and returned to sit next to Ling Chen.

Looking at the once again quiet Qiang beside him, Ling Chen narrowed his eyes slightly, his gaze carried a hint of sharpness, seemingly trying to see through the other.

Just now, all of Qiang’s subtle movements were watched by Ling Chen. It seemed unintentional, but Ling Chen thought of something else. When they went to Beijing to search for Jiang Yue’e, they found the room Jiang Yue’e was staying in.

At that time, they found a mirror in the room, the screws in the four corners were all loose. Not only that, but the wall behind the mirror had a hole dug, connecting with the room next door. Ling Chen never figured out what the purpose of that hidden hole behind the mirror was. But after seeing Qiang’s move just now, he started to feel suspicious.
