Chapter 617: Chapter 589: A Storm is Brewing

Originally, Li Chen thought something would happen during the recent period and had therefore heightened his defenses, but to his surprise, these past few days were exceptionally calm, with An Qin, who had appeared before, now nowhere to be seen.

It was as if she had never appeared at all.

"Huff—"

Early morning, after practicing a set of punches on the grass, Li Chen slowly finished up and sat quietly on the lawn. Beads of sweat were forming on his forehead but were quickly evaporated by the rising True Qi within his body.

Since the last encounter with An Qin, Li Chen had become aware that there were many strong individuals in this world, many of whom were not only as strong as him but even stronger.

That woman was one of them, and because of this, Li Chen was even less inclined to let his guard down.

Suddenly, a figure appeared in the villa.

"Did you find anything?" Li Chen slightly raised his head and asked the person who had just appeared.

"No. It’s unusually peaceful lately, and that person seems to have vanished into thin air, leaving no trace behind," said the Nether Army Warrior dressed in black, shaking his head slightly.

"Forget it, I figured as much," Li Chen’s face showed a hint of helplessness, "Keep a closer watch on Linchuan recently. I suspect something is about to happen."

"Yes!" The Nether Army Warrior nodded and then left the villa.

Watching the departing Nether Army Warrior, Li Chen felt somewhat helpless in his heart.

The adversary was clearly targeting him, but up to now, he still hadn’t figured out their actual intention.

The woman in white clearly wasn’t simple. With her strength, her appearance could not have been merely a coincidence.

Even if it was a coincidence, could she coincidentally appear before him twice?

Moreover, Li Chen suspected that it was she who had knocked out the Nether Army Warrior that day.

As far as Li Chen knew, she was the only one with such capability, at least in Linchuan!

However, for some unknown reason, Li Chen sensed an atmosphere like that of a storm brewing on the horizon.

Yet facing such a situation, Li Chen did not have many good solutions. He could only have the Nether Army strengthen their defenses, to the point where he even considered bringing in more people from abroad.

"Forget it, let’s wait a bit longer," he stood up somewhat helplessly and turned towards the inside of the villa.

...

Every city has its dark side, which doesn’t reveal itself during the day, as if it had dissipated, only showing the city’s prosperity.

But at night, things unseen in daylight would gradually begin to appear in the corners of the city.

Darkness, dampness.

Those were the themes of this place.

This was an abandoned old house. It seemed that due to some unresolved issues, this unfinished building had been left here for some time.

Due to the lack of upkeep, the building had become even more derelict over time and usually served as a gathering place for the city’s beggars and vagrants.

But with the arrival of one individual, these beggars and vagrants mysteriously disappeared.

Nobody knew where they had gone.

Similarly, no one knew that the master of this place had become a mysterious figure shrouded in black robes.

"Sss..."

The sharp blade slid across the wrist, emitting an unpleasant sound like cutting through cowhide.

Yet his wrist was slashed open, and blood involuntarily began flowing from the wound.

His blood was not particularly voluminous, but it was exceptionally viscous.

The Black General watched as the Red Moon absorbed his blood, and a strange smile appeared on his face, concealed in darkness.

As the Red Moon devoured, a peculiar power from the Red Moon surged into his body. Influenced by this power of the Red Moon, the momentum of the Black General became increasingly mysterious and unpredictable.

Even the figure shrouded in black radiated a strange sense of beauty, faint yet perceptible.

Monster!

An enchanting beauty!

"Soon... very soon... hehehe!"

...

Li Chen and Lin Yi were out for a walk, having been cooped up at home for days, even Lin Yi was growing weary of the monotonous cycle of working by day and sleeping by night.

Before, she would sometimes treat herself to a SPA day, or work out at the gym.

But due to Li Chen’s instructions, she had been staying at home these past few days.

"Wife, it’s not safe outside, shall we head back home early?" Li Chen, walking beside Lin Yi, said with a smile.

"Tell me, when did you become so naggy." Lin Yi rolled her eyes, "With you here, even if we run into danger, aren’t you there to handle it?"

"Wife, how can you treat me like this?!" Li Chen’s face was one of ’horror’.

"Otherwise, how do you want me to treat you?" Lin Yi couldn’t help but laugh at Li Chen’s antics.

"Well..." Li Chen pondered for a moment, "I wouldn’t mind taking on the bad guys for you, but first, I need a kiss."

As he spoke, Li Chen pointed to his own face.

"No kiss!" Lin Yi pouted and turned her head away.

"Hey, wife, just one kiss, a quick one!"

"No kiss!"

"Really, just one, a quick kiss will do, wife, be good!"

Li Chen was teasing Lin Yi when he suddenly noticed a figure not too far away.

Seeing this figure, Li Chen was momentarily stunned. It wasn’t someone else; it was Yu Yueying.

Yu Yueying wasn’t in her usual police uniform but instead wore casual clothes, and she looked rather haggard.

"Hm?" Noticing Li Chen’s gaze, Lin Yi also turned toward Yu Yueying.

"Isn’t that Officer Yu?" Lin Yi exclaimed in surprise.

"You know her too?" Li Chen asked in astonishment.

"Of course I do, she’s helped me out several times before," Lin Yi explained.

Since they knew each other, it would be easier to speak.

Li Chen strode up to Yu Yueying, "Officer Yu, what a coincidence to see you here!"

Yu Yueying seemed a bit absent-minded, and after lifting her head, she finally noticed Li Chen and Lin Yi. She asked in surprise, "What are you two doing here?"

"We came out for a walk..." Li Chen began, then turned his attention to Yu Yueying, "You look worried, has something happened?"

"I..." Yu Yueying was about to speak when she suddenly paused.

Indeed, she had encountered a problem. Her mother had recently fallen ill with a strange sickness and hadn’t awakened yet. Restless at heart, she had come outside alone to clear her mind.

Looking at Li Chen, Yu Yueying suddenly remembered some of the things he had done before, and a hopeful light flashed in her eyes.

"Uh, Li Chen, there’s something I’d like to ask of you, can you help me?" Yu Yueying spoke tentatively.

Then, Yu Yueying recounted her mother’s situation before staring at Li Chen with expectant eyes.

"This... I can’t be sure if I can be of help, but I have to take a look first," Li Chen said.

"Really? Can we go now?" Yu Yueying asked excitedly.

"Right now?" Li Chen’s eyebrows raised.
