Chapter 625: Chapter 622: Capturing Lin Jiawei

The next day.

After a night’s rest, Ling Chen woke up feeling sore in his lower back, a condition that seemed worse than the night before. He shook his head helplessly, realizing that the porridge girl was right; with the injuries he had sustained, it would probably take at least ten days to a half month to fully recover.

Coming out of Hu Fei’s office, Ling Chen yawned, preparing to go to the restroom to relieve himself. Walking down the hallway, he happened to encounter Zhu Xiaozhu coming towards him. Their eyes met, and Zhu Xiaozhu’s pretty face turned red in an instant. She quickly lowered her head, not daring to meet Ling Chen’s gaze.

"Xiaozhu..." To avoid prolonging the awkwardness, Ling Chen opened his mouth to greet her. After all, he was in the wrong last night. As a man, he should be more magnanimous, apologize later, and ask for forgiveness.

But before he could finish speaking, Zhu Xiaozhu walked right past him without saying a word, not even a glance.

Seeing this, Ling Chen touched his nose and let out a bitter chuckle to himself, understanding that Zhu Xiaozhu was too shy to face him. Forget it! He would wait a couple of days for her mood to improve before apologizing.

As he listened to the fading footsteps, the bowing Zhu Xiaozhu suddenly turned her head, looking at the receding figure of Ling Chen with sparkling eyes, clearly deep in thought.

There was still plenty of time. Ling Chen made the time to meet with porridge girl, then drove off from the research base. Accompanying him was Kaelina.

Traveling along the road for roughly forty minutes or so, Ling Chen and Kaelina finally reached their destination - a manor on the outskirts of East Sea City.

Through the car window, Ling Chen, seated in the driver’s seat, observed for a moment, then nodded to himself, "Here we are."

"Should I go, or will you?" Kaelina asked.

Hearing Kaelina’s question, Ling Chen replied, "Let’s split up. You take care of the outside, and I’ll handle that three-story building." After that, Ling Chen picked up a backpack from the backseat and got out of the car.

The manor wasn’t very large, covering only a bit over five hundred square meters. However, owning such a manor in East Sea City would cost at least tens of millions, which showed that Lin Jiawei was quite filial to his grandfather.

Ling Chen went around the manor’s perimeter wall until he noticed there were no security cameras inside, which somewhat reassured him. Then, he climbed over the wall from a corner and landed steadily on the lawn.

At this point, it was half-past eight in the morning, yet there was no one outside the small building. Ling Chen approached the building quietly, with his backpack slung over his shoulder, then climbed up the pipe step by step.

Before long, Ling Chen had smoothly reached the second-floor balcony.

Looking through the window glass, Ling Chen checked to make sure no one was inside. Once certain, he gently pushed open the door and slipped in.

This bedroom seemed to be uninhabited, with all its furniture covered with dust cloths. Putting the backpack down, Ling Chen took out a pinhole camera and installed it in a corner of the wall.

"OK!"

Hearing Hu Fei’s voice through the earpiece, Ling Chen walked to the door, listened for any noise outside, then cracked the door open to check the corridor conditions. Instantly, he saw two maids carrying breakfast and toiletries enter a bedroom some ten meters away.

That must be the master’s room.

As soon as the maids entered, Ling Chen darted out, installing pinhole cameras in various hidden spots to monitor every move within the rooms.

All told, it took about ten minutes to install more than twenty pinhole cameras Ling Chen had brought, covering the entire house under their surveillance.

"Kaelina, how are things on your end?"

"All set."

Receiving Kaelina’s response, Ling Chen breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Time to go!"

Back in the car, Kaelina asked, "Are you sure Hu Fei’s information is reliable?"

Ling Chen, full of confidence, smiled and said, "The fat guy might not be good at other things, but his intel in this area is absolutely solid. Don’t worry, according to his predictions, Lin Jiawei will return in these two days. All we need to do is set up our net. When the time comes, we’ll capture him all at once. As long as we get Lin Jiawei, we might even be able to follow the trail and directly pull out that mysterious leader."

Hearing this, Kaelina said indifferently, "It’d be great if things will go as smoothly as you say."

Ling Chen’s lips curled up in a half-smile but said nothing more. Regardless, Lin Jiawei must be captured. This was not only for himself but also for Xia Mutong. Now that Xia Mutong was still in the hands of the God Organization, capturing Lin Jiawei could enable them to exchange him for Xia Mutong.

...

In the blink of an eye.

Two days passed.

East Sea International Airport.

Ling Chen, the porridge girl, and Kaelina sat in an Audi, their eyes fixed on the airport exit, searching for the target.

"The fatso just sent a message; Lin Jiawei has entered the country and could show up at any moment. Everyone, keep your eyes peeled and don’t miss him."

"That one, do you think it’s him?"

Right after Ling Chen finished speaking, Kaelina immediately pointed out of the car window. Following the direction of her finger, Ling Chen picked up the binoculars he carried and saw Lin Jiawei, in a suit, emerging from the airport surrounded by four bodyguards with impressive builds, carrying a suitcase.

As he reached the roadside, two Mercedes-Benz SUVs promptly came. Once Lin Jiawei and his entourage got into the cars, Ling Chen started the Audi and followed behind the two vehicles as they all left the airport.

Since the opposing security personnel were professionals, Ling Chen did not dare to follow too closely, fearing that he would expose his whereabouts. Throughout the journey, he kept a distance of tens of meters, using the other vehicles on the road as cover, to hide his tracks.

However, upon entering the ring road, the two Mercedes suddenly accelerated, their speed instantly exceeding a hundred miles per hour.

Ling Chen frowned and abandoned the idea of continuing the chase. The other party’s purpose for speeding up was clearly to prevent being followed; if he sped up to keep up, it would be tantamount to exposing his own trail.

Since they knew where Lin Jiawei was headed, there was no need to hurry too much.

Before long, Ling Chen drove up once again to the manor in the suburbs.

Looking at the two Mercedes parked at the entrance, Ling Chen picked up his binoculars to observe the situation.

"Two guards at the entrance, Kaelina, I’ll leave them to you. Porridge girl and I will go directly in through the window, capture Lin Jiawei quickly, and without delay, head back to the car to regroup."

"Understood!"

After making their plans, Ling Chen and the porridge girl got out of the car and went to the spot where Ling Chen had sneaked into the manor last time. After checking the time, Ling Chen nodded to the porridge girl, then leapt onto the wall.

As the two of them began their operation, Kaelina had already approached from the other side of the manor, swiftly charging towards the two guards at the entrance.

As the third-ranked assassin on the assassin list, Kaelina, holding a dagger, showed no mercy and thrust directly at the vital points of the two guards.

However, the moment the dagger was swung, one of the guards raised his hand to block, and with a ’clang’ of a crisp sound, the dagger was immediately deflected. Then, that guard threw a punch with the speed of the wind, fiercely hammering it towards Kaelina, sending her flying in an instant.
