Chapter 673: Chapter 645 An Qin’s Message

"We’ve found An Qin’s trail."

The moment he heard this news, a look of joy appeared on Li Chen’s face.

"Tell me the location, I’ll be right there!" Li Chen said without delay.

After hearing the location on the phone, he rushed out of the company immediately without a word.

He had too many questions in his mind that he wanted to clear up with An Qin. But for now, what he most wanted to know was just what the deal was with these black bugs.

If he couldn’t get this figured out, Li Chen felt as if there were a weight pressing down on his heart like a stone.

The incident with Wang Yang today had happened to him. What if it had happened to someone else? What would have been the outcome?

Li Chen dared not even imagine what the consequences would be if it had happened to Lin Yi.

So, for the moment, he was incredibly eager to find out just what was going on with these black bugs.

However, when Li Chen arrived at the location, what he saw were the Nether Army warriors leaning helplessly against the walls at the site.

"What happened?" Upon seeing the state of these men, Li Chen asked involuntarily.

"She got away," the Nether Wolf said, lifting his head to look at Li Chen and couldn’t help but let out a wry smile.

Ever since he’d come here with Li Chen, it seemed that he hadn’t accomplished anything particularly gratifying, and he was considering whether he should return.

Hearing the Nether Wolf’s words, Li Chen wasn’t surprised, but he couldn’t help but reveal a bitter smile on his face as well.

He was aware of An Qin’s strength. Although it was not as great as his own now, she was still not someone these ordinary Nether Army Warriors could handle.

An Qin, wielding Frost, was definitely a Yellow Rank above. Reaching that grade, even the combatants on the Main God Ranking might not pose any threat to her, let alone these ordinary Nether Army warriors.

"Did she leave any message behind?" Li Chen asked somewhat helplessly as he looked at the somewhat disheveled Nether Army warriors leaning to one side.

Fortunately, An Qin knew that these people were Li Chen’s subordinates, and she had measured her strikes, merely rendering them temporarily powerless; there wasn’t a single one who sustained real injuries.

Upon hearing Li Chen’s question, another Nether Army warrior couldn’t help but lift his head, "The lord is truly the lord. Although she didn’t leave any verbal message, she did leave behind a recording pen."

"A recording pen?" Li Chen asked in confusion.

"Yes, this one," the Nether Wolf said, pulling a recording pen out of his pocket and handing it to Li Chen.

Looking at the recording pen, Li Chen’s eyes showed a contemplative look, and then he addressed the Nether Army warriors, "Alright, since she has already run away, there’s nothing we can do. You all go and rest."

After receiving Li Chen’s orders, the group of Nether Army warriors then turned and left the place.

And Li Chen, with the recording pen in hand, walked away deep in thought.

Sitting in his car, Li Chen turned on the recording pen.

Instantly, An Qin’s unique, cool voice emerged from inside.

"You’re looking for me, presumably to ask about the black bug, right?"

Li Chen couldn’t help but nod. Indeed, the main reason he was looking for An Qin was this issue, and for the other questions, he planned to ask them after resolving this one.

"Actually, I only discovered this thing recently," An Qin’s voice came from the recording pen.

"This bug, according to the information I’ve got, is likely a transformation of the essence from within the Black General after his death. There are two types in total, one golden, and one black."

"The black bugs are akin to suction-cupped tentacles that drive people mad and make them stronger while simultaneously draining their essence, achieving a bizarre energy transfer."

"But it’s the golden bugs that are central. After these black bugs drain the essence from the human body, it is transferred to the golden bugs in a way that is difficult to explain."

"Once the energy is sufficient, the Black General could be successfully reborn in the host of the golden bug," An Qin explained.

"Of course, killing the host of the black bug is pointless as well. Because upon the host’s death, the bugs will drain all of the host’s energy completely clean."

Hearing An Qin’s words, Li Chen’s face turned even grimmer.

An Qin’s explanation was clear; if he didn’t find a way to deal with the golden bug, once the energy was sufficient, he might just meet a completely reborn Black General.

Naturally, that was not the outcome he wanted.

"Step up the search; if anyone suspicious is found nearby, they must be detained immediately," Li Chen ordered, "Also, help me find a golden bug."

Li Chen cautioned, "This golden bug might be the key, so be very careful! The moment you find its presence, notify me immediately!"

"Yes!"

After giving his instructions, Li Chen let out a deep sigh, then he didn’t linger, since An Qin was no longer here, staying here had no meaning for him.

Turning his head, Li Chen drove back to the company.

However, as soon as he returned to the lab, Li Chen noticed that the laboratory looked quite messy.

"What’s going on?" Li Chen walked in and couldn’t help but ask curiously.

"Mr. Cheen is back!"

"It’s Mr. Cheen."

A girl came over and said to Li Chen, "It’s nothing really, it’s just that a project we’ve been developing recently made a breakthrough, so everyone is quite happy."

"Oh? That’s indeed good news." Li Chen smiled and nodded.

"But Mr. Cheen, this achievement, we actually owe a lot to Qianqian. Qianqian played a huge role in this research; even we have to admire her work capacity."

"It’s Qianqian?" Li Chen couldn’t help asking with some curiosity.

"Yes, if it wasn’t for Qianqian, our breakthrough wouldn’t have come so swiftly!" Someone not stingy with their praise lauded Wang Qianqian.

"Looks like I should thank her too." Li Chen said with a smile.

"Go ahead!" One of them winked at Li Chen and said.

Noticing that person’s suggestive look, Li Chen couldn’t help but feel speechless. That look, why did it seem so suggestive?

At this time, Wang Qianqian was sitting alone in a corner reading a book, and in her hands, she kept fiddling with various reagents, seemingly doing some final work.

"It’s already a success, why aren’t you taking a break?" Seeing Wang Qianqian still busy, Li Chen couldn’t help but speak with some distress.

Seeing Li Chen arrive, Wang Qianqian smiled, "It’s precisely because we’ve made a breakthrough that I can’t rest, I have to do the final work. I’m fine, not tired at all."

Li Chen walked up to Wang Qianqian, snatched the book from her hands, and placed it on the table.

"I don’t care, they’ve already told me, the reason this research achieved a breakthrough is largely due to you. Now, this finalizing work can be handled by them. What you need to do is to rest properly," Li Chen said, gently wrapping his arms around Wang Qianqian.

Hearing Li Chen’s words, Wang Qianqian felt incredibly sweet inside. Although she didn’t feel tired, she still put down the work in her hands.

"Alright, alright, I’ll listen to you," Wang Qianqian said.

"That’s how my good Qianqian should be!" Li Chen, hugging Wang Qianqian, headed to the office.

While sitting close to her on the sofa, Li Chen couldn’t help but ask, "I remember this research also needed some time, how did it achieve a breakthrough so quickly?"

"Isn’t it because you, as my mentor, taught well!" Wang Qianqian said with a smile.

The knowledge about fragrance that she had was learned from Li Chen, and as the main person in charge of this project, she felt that although she had made contributions to the research breakthrough, it was undoubtedly connected to Li Chen as well.

"Don’t ascribe every good thing to me, this time the credit is clearly yours," Li Chen said with a chuckle.

As they spoke, Li Chen’s hand began to wander, one arm held Wang Qianqian while the other sneaked inside her clothes.

"No! Not here..." However, before Li Chen could make his next move, his hand was held by Wang Qianqian, who was blushing.

Having grabbed Li Chen’s hand, Wang Qianqian’s face was flushed; she looked at Li Chen but was speechless for a long time.

"I’m just playing with you! Do you think I really am that lecherous!" Li Chen suddenly pinched Wang Qianqian’s face.

"I still have some things to do later, I deliberately made time to come see you." After spending a warm moment embracing Wang Qianqian, Li Chen stood up and left the lab.

Only then did the other people in the lab start to approach Wang Qianqian.

"Qianqian, we really owe you big time for this, if it wasn’t for you, we wouldn’t know when our research would succeed!"

"Yeah, Qianqian, you are truly amazing."

Hearing the praise from everyone, Wang Qianqian waved her hands again and again.

"By the way, Qianqian, you’ve been looking very spirited lately. Despite all the hard work, I haven’t seen you resting much?" a girl suddenly said, looking at Wang Qianqian: "Most importantly, you don’t even have dark circles under your eyes, Qianqian, tell me, do you have some beauty secret?"

"I don’t know what’s going on either." Wang Qianqian laughed and said, "I just feel very energetic recently, always full of vigor—maybe it’s because I’ve been sleeping well at night."

Hearing Wang Qianqian’s words, the girl didn’t continue to probe, as she knew what kind of person Wang Qianqian was.

However, what no one noticed was that, as Wang Qianqian spoke, there was a flash of golden light in her eyes, which quickly faded away.
