Chapter 614: Chapter 586 Black General

Li Chen’s face showed a hint of bewilderment, for the Red Moon, which had been placed in the basement, had vanished.

"I remember clearly hanging it right there in the corner of the wall," Li Chen said, his face clouded with intense confusion.

There were no traces of the basement door being opened, not even the door of the storage room, which was properly locked. So how could the Red Moon just disappear into thin air?

Li Chen searched the basement, but despite a lengthy search, he still couldn’t find any trace of the Red Moon.

Giving up the search, Li Chen confirmed that the Red Moon was indeed gone. Moreover, he was certain that someone must have stolen it.

Li Chen’s expression turned grave.

The disappearance of the Red Moon was no trivial matter.

The person able to silently take the Red Moon must be remarkably strong, and with the Red Moon’s aid, Li Chen didn’t even want to imagine the kind of formidable enemy he was about to face.

Andy’s strength was inferior to his own, but with the help of the Red Moon, he could completely overpower Li Chen.

And Li Xinmei, after undergoing her transformation, was much more powerful than him, yet he could still easily kill her with the power of the Red Moon.

Just from this, one could see the immense power of the Red Moon.

If the person who took the Red Moon was as strong as him, or even stronger, even Li Chen didn’t dare imagine what would happen.

Li Chen’s face took on an extremely ugly look.

"Investigate! I want to find the recent whereabouts of everyone who appeared around here! Also, pursue a red knife with all our might! No matter what, we must find it!"

Li Chen immediately contacted Alice and asked her to notify the Nether Army.

"Additionally, look into another person!" After a moment of contemplation, Li Chen spoke again, "A man dressed in white. He must have started being active in Linchuan only recently."

After some thought, Li Chen was sure he had never seen this man in white before; hence, he must have only arrived in Linchuan recently.

"Alright!" Alice agreed and promptly began the investigation.

However, just how much they would discover was up to fate.

Returning to the living room, Li Chen let out a soft sigh.

Aunt Wang was quite a master herself. But clearly, she hadn’t noticed the intruder’s arrival, which meant the opponent’s strength must be far superior to Aunt Wang’s.

Such a master, if careful enough, would leave no trace. Therefore, Li Chen wasn’t too hopeful.

He felt it would be quite an achievement if they could find a trace of the man in white.

"Troubled times indeed." With a somewhat headache-inducing flick of his lighter, Li Chen lit a cigarette, and amidst the curling smoke, his eyes flickered.

...

Meanwhile, in a dark street corner far from the villa area, a man cloaked in black robes emerged from the shadows, his eyes glinting with a wild beast’s glow.

"Yes, that’s it... this is the feeling..." In his hand, the man held a blood-red knife.

Red Moon!

"Who would have thought that I, the Black General, would see the light of day again, and to obtain the Red Moon upon my very emergence, fortune truly favors me! Hahaha!"

A hoarse and ugly laughter emerged from the man’s mouth. Despite being laughter, it almost sounded like crying.

Clutching the Red Moon, the Black General’s face revealed a sinister expression.

"Who would have thought, not only have I found that person’s son, but I also got my hands on the Red Moon," the hoarse voice of the Black General resounded: "After a while, when my injuries have healed, I’ll go find him..."

"Li Chen? Hehehe... he is that person’s son, his blood is a treasure. With the Red Moon, and adding his blood, I will definitely break through to the Yellow Rank, hahaha..."

The harsh and ugly laughter echoed in the night sky like an owl’s hoot.

Hotel.

An Qin had taken off her disguise, sitting at the edge of the bed, her stunning face flashing an indescribable hue, but soon, it returned to calmness.

In her hands, she held a jade pendant engraved with the character "Chen."

"The Black General has appeared. This time, it’s up to you to withstand it. If you can endure it, it means you are qualified. If you die, then you are not fit to be my An Qin’s man," she mused silently.

But there was another sentence An Qin did not say aloud.

"If you die, I will avenge you."

...

"Honey, I’m off to work," Lin Yi called out from the villa early in the morning, turning to shout to Li Chen.

"Hey! Wait a minute!" Li Chen hurriedly dressed and dashed out from the room.

"Let’s go together," Li Chen said cheerily to Lin Yi. "My car has been written off. I’ll ride with you today, how about that, honey, you don’t mind, do you?"

"I mind!"

"Well, I’m still hitching a ride!" Li Chen laughed heartily.

Lin Yi rolled her eyes, choosing not to argue with him.

She knew, however, that Li Chen was genuinely concerned for her safety. Though she wouldn’t admit defeat verbally, in her heart, Lin Yi felt exceptionally sweet.

"Alright, alright, stop dawdling and let’s get moving!"

"As you wish, my dear wife!" Li Chen smiled and took his seat in the passenger side.

Although Wang De had been dealt with, Li Chen was aware that there might be even more powerful unknown enemies lurking, eyeing him and the people around him, which is why he did not dare to let his guard down at all.

Especially after yesterday’s incident, Li Chen felt that he should spend more time with them.

He was even considering whether or not to bring Zhong Tian over as an assistant.

Although Zhong Tian’s strength was not particularly impressive, he had a solid foundation and could hold his own against enemies. At least, he was much stronger than the Nether Army under Li Chen’s command.

"Miss, young master, be careful on the road!" Aunt Wang waved at the two from the doorway.

"Got it! Aunt Wang, you be careful at home too." Li Chen waved back.

Immediately the car started and left the villa.

Aunt Wang, however, was slightly frowning in thought.

Li Chen’s words seemed casual, but Aunt Wang could see something different in his eyes.

"Be careful?" Aunt Wang nodded, then turned and went back into the villa.

As soon as he arrived at the company, Li Chen dropped Lin Yi off and, before heading to the lab, first got in touch with Alice.

"How’s the investigation going?"

"I haven’t found anything." On the phone, a somewhat dejected voice came from Alice.

"What’s the matter?" Li Chen’s brow furrowed.

With Alice’s ability, within the small scope of Linchuan, investigating one or two people shouldn’t be difficult.

At least, that’s how Li Chen saw it, but a day had passed, and Alice’s response was that she had found nothing.

"I checked the surveillance near the villa, but in the end, I only saw a fleeting black shadow. Plus, the footage is too blurry; there’s no way to reconstruct what happened. I can’t even tell if that shadow was a person or an animal," Alice said with some helplessness.

The technology she controlled was powerful, but not omnipotent; some things couldn’t just be done on demand.

"Alright, what about the white shadow?" Li Chen couldn’t help but ask.

"It seems there was such a man a few days ago, but now I can’t find any trace of him at all," replied Alice.

"Okay then." Li Chen was also somewhat helpless, shook his head, and hung up the phone.

He walked into the laboratory, where Wang Qianqian was working diligently.

Not just Wang Qianqian, at this time, the whole laboratory had become busy.

In comparison, he, the team leader, seemed a bit idle.

"Yo, Mr. Cheen, you’ve come in person, huh?" Someone saw Li Chen passing by and even joked.

After spending so much time together, everyone knew that although Li Chen was formidable, he was also easy to get along with. So now and then, they could crack jokes to foster a closer relationship.

"Cut it out, haven’t you seen me coming in every day lately?" Li Chen smacked the back of that guy’s head and laughingly cursed.

"Eh, Mr. Cheen, I didn’t see you here when I left work yesterday."

"That’s right, that’s right."

"Alright, alright, get back to work. I won’t waste time with you guys—I’ve got things to do." Li Chen, out of words, quickly made his exit.

Seeing the direction where Li Chen went to ’do something’, several employees exchanged glances and then simultaneously broke into mischievous grins.

"Mr. Cheen sure is busy!"

"Yeah, indeed too busy! Hehehe!"

Li Chen ignored those guys and went straight to Wang Qianqian.

"Qianqian, I need to talk to you about some things. Come to my office for a moment," Li Chen said.

"Oh, okay!" Wang Qianqian agreed and then followed Li Chen into his office.

As soon as they entered, Li Chen immediately closed the door with a "bang", wrapped his arms around Wang Qianqian, and kissed her passionately.

"Mmm!"

Suddenly kissed by Li Chen, Wang Qianqian was a bit stunned, but she quickly responded and passionately returned the kiss.

After a while, they stopped to catch their breath. Initially, Li Chen wanted to go further, but he faintly heard soft footsteps outside the door and knew someone was eavesdropping, so he stopped.

"You really are a little fairy," Li Chen said softly as he looked at Wang Qianqian.

He hadn’t known until they crossed that line, but after getting truly intimate with Wang Qianqian, Li Chen found that in some areas, she was even bolder than Lin Yi, to the point where he was almost losing control.

"Qianqian, the reason I called you here today is that I do have something important to talk about," Li Chen paused for a moment before continuing, "How about you move in and live with us?"

Li Chen made this decision after careful consideration.

If the enemy targeted Lin Yi, they might also target Wang Qianqian. Whether it was for Lin Yi to accept Wang Qianqian or for Wang Qianqian’s safety, it was better for Wang Qianqian to move in and live together.

Upon hearing Li Chen’s words, Wang Qianqian first paused, then a look of hesitation appeared on her face.
