Chapter 664: Chapter 669: Ling Family of the South (2)

Hu Fei pointed to the photo of Ling Jiawei on the computer screen and said, "Don’t you think there’s a big discrepancy between Lin Jiawei’s appearance and this photo?" As soon as he spoke, without waiting for Ling Chen to chime in, Hu Fei immediately put on a sudden realization expression and said, "Alright, no need to explain, I know, he must have had plastic surgery."

"You still ask even though you know."

"Hey! Seriously though, what are you going to do if the Ling Family really is the mastermind behind the God Organization?"

Ling Chen retorted, "What am I supposed to do? What does that have to do with me?"

"How can it not be related? Aren’t you also a member of the Ling Family? Even though you were expelled by the Ling Family as a child, your surname is still Ling. You can’t change this blood relation. Can you really bear to lay a hand on them?"

Ling Chen shrugged and said, "I don’t think as much as you do. Like you said, I was expelled by the Ling Family since I was young and I have no familial ties with them. Besides, if the Ling Family really is the mastermind behind the God Organization, just think about all the bad things they’ve done over the years, how many innocent people they’ve killed. Even if my relationship with them were close, I couldn’t cover for them. Everything has its price, let alone the heinous acts they’ve committed."

"Alright!" Hu Fei nodded and said, "I’m just giving you a heads up. Since you’ve thought it through, let’s pretend I didn’t say anything. Tell me, what are your plans next?"

"I don’t know." Ling Chen was somewhat troubled.

He did want to delve deeper into investigating the Ling Family, but the mysterious man from the Secret Society had warned him not to meddle with the Ling Family’s affairs lightly. Otherwise, he might get burnt.

Thus, Ling Chen was unsure whether to continue probing further. Apart from the warning from the mysterious man, there was another very important reason - his own power. At present, his power had just started to take shape, with very few people he could mobilize. If he clashed with the Ling Family at such a time, the power he had painstakingly built might be destroyed.

Considering these two key factors, Ling Chen said, "For now, just keep an eye on the Ling Family and don’t act rashly. Although we have some leads, they can’t serve as evidence. It’d be best to gather more evidence. When the time comes, we can join forces with the people from Lonely Wolf to move in."

"Why not leak this information to Lonely Wolf first and let them investigate in secret while we watch from the sidelines. With the people from Lonely Wolf stirring things up, the Ling Family might expose more flaws."

Hearing this, Ling Chen’s eyes lit up, and he replied with a smile, "That’s a good idea. Okay, I’ll give Old Tang a call later and fill him in on the situation."

After Hu Fei left the hospital room, Ling Chen picked up his phone and dialed Tang Yuan’s number.

"Hello! Tang Yuan, what’s up?" The call connected, and Tang Yuan’s voice immediately came through to Ling Chen.

"Old Tang, you’ve been busy lately and haven’t called me."

"You know how it is, the old General has retired, Lonely Wolf is being reformed, and I’m swamped every day. I don’t have time to call you. Oh, right! I almost forgot to tell you, the orders from above are in; the new leader of Lonely Wolf has been selected."

"Who?" Ling Chen eagerly asked. Even though he had left the organization, he was still very concerned about the appointment of the new leader, as it had implications for his own interests. If the new leader was unfamiliar with him, it would be difficult for him to cooperate with Lonely Wolf in the future.

Tang Yuan said with a laugh, "Tang Yuan, I have good news for you. The new leader of Lonely Wolf is not only very familiar with you but also has a very good relationship with you."

"Very familiar... could it be..."

"It’s Pang Jiulin, Instructor Pang. He has been appointed as the new leader of Lonely Wolf."

Just as expected!

Ling Chen felt a sense of relief, and a happy smile spread across his sharp features. Tang Yuan had mentioned before that because Han Bing had made a mistake, his promotion was canceled and someone experienced within Lonely Wolf would be chosen to succeed as the leader.

Pang Jiulin had been the instructor of Phantom and had been with Lonely Wolf the longest. His experience was naturally unquestionable, and he knew the organization’s internal affairs best, indeed a suitable candidate.

"Old Tang, convey a message to Instructor Pang for me. Tell him I’m currently indisposed. Next time I’m free, I’ll definitely visit Beijing to offer my congratulations in person."

"Okay, I’m waiting for you." After he finished, Tang Yuan suddenly changed the topic, "Hey! You didn’t call me just to chit-chat, did you?"

"There’s something I need to talk to you about..." Right then, Ling Chen filled Tang Yuan in on the situation with the Ling Family in the south.

"The Ling Family... I know them. Their family-operated enterprises are very famous nationwide, and they have good relationships with the government. It might be difficult to investigate them."

"You’re from the Lonely Wolf, I believe this kind of trouble won’t be too much for you."

"Alright! I got it. I’ll report this to Instructor Pang and see what plans he has."

After some small talk, Ling Chen hung up the phone, tossed it aside, stretched lazily, and prepared to lie down for a short nap.

But at that moment, a burst of urgent ringtone suddenly rang out.

Seeing the incoming call number on the phone screen, Ling Chen immediately picked up the phone and answered.

"Hello! Big Brother."

"Ling Cheng."

Hearing Qiu Yong’s deep voice from the other end of the phone, Ling Chen immediately had a bad feeling. Since the last time they parted, he had kept in touch with Qiu Yong and the others. Qiu Yong said they were dealing with some private affairs, but he didn’t elaborate on what exactly they were, and Ling Chen didn’t ask further.

In all the time he had known Qiu Yong, he had never heard him speak with such a tone.

"Big Brother, what’s wrong? Has something happened?"

"There’s been a bit of trouble. Are you free right now?"

"Yes." Although he hadn’t fully recovered, Ling Chen wouldn’t refuse once Qiu Yong made the request.

"We’re all in Jinhai City, and we can’t get away right now. You’d better hurry over. And by the way, don’t you have a friend who’s good at medicine? Bring them along. Your Tang Yuan is seriously injured and must be treated as soon as possible."

Yuan Yun got injured?

Ling Chen was shocked, and without asking for details, he quickly got out of bed, put on his clothes, and dashed out of the ward.

"Xiaozhu!"

In the medical laboratory, seeing Ling Chen rushing in, Zhu Xiaozhu reproachfully said, "Your body hasn’t recovered yet. Why aren’t you lying in bed? What are you doing here?"

"There’s no time to explain." Ling Chen grabbed Zhu Xiaozhu’s wrist and said while walking, "There’s an emergency. I need your help." noveldrama

Zhu Xiaozhu, who hadn’t even had time to change out of her white lab coat, was pulled out by Ling Chen.

Leaving the research base, Ling Chen took Zhu Xiaozhu to a car and headed straight for the airport. To save time, Ling Chen also made a call to Nanrong Hao, asking him to arrange a plane.

Seeing the anxiety on Ling Chen’s face, Zhu Xiaozhu asked in confusion, "What happened?"

Ling Chen shook his head and remained silent, focusing on the traffic ahead with a tight frown. He knew very well that if Qiu Yong was calling him for help, the situation must be extremely urgent.
