CHAPTER 1011: CHAPTER 1018: I LIKE YOU

The person you like?

Hearing these words, Ling Chen was momentarily stunned. He had always considered Leng Feifei as a friend and never thought she would fall for him.

"Feifei, you should know that I already have a girlfriend. No matter what compensation you need from me on this matter, I won’t have any objection, but..."

Leng Feifei nodded and said, "I know, but so what if you have a girlfriend? As long as you’re not married, I have a chance. Ling Chen, I’ve never faced my feelings squarely before. Or rather, I didn’t dare because I felt unworthy. But now I’ve figured it out; anything I like, I can pursue. Regardless of the outcome, as long as I’ve tried, even if things don’t turn out well, at least I won’t have regrets. On the way back just now, I made up my mind to use that money for further studies and work hard to better myself. Only by becoming more excellent can I have the qualifications to compete with others. So, I hope you won’t get married so soon, at least give me a chance to pursue you."

Having heard Leng Feifei’s words, Ling Chen felt not just helplessness but more of a deep admiration.

"Feifei, I’m not worth you doing all this."

"Whether it’s worth it or not is my business. Anyway, I’ve said what I needed to say. I hope you remember my words. Bye-bye!"

After speaking, Leng Feifei waved to Ling Chen and went back to the room by herself.

Watching Leng Feifei’s figure disappear from sight, Ling Chen touched his nose and smiled with resignation.

Am I really that outstanding?

Thinking of this, Ling Chen laughed at himself, then started the car and drove back to Wealthy Manor.

...

In a villa located in the suburbs of East Sea City.

Currently, in the luxurious living room sat seven or eight people, among them was Lin Guodong. If Ling Chen were here, he would definitely recognize everyone present.

Ji Gang, Chen Quan, Chu Huaiyang, Song Mingzhe, and Zhu Hong.

Looking at the people in front of him, Lin Guodong gently tapped the armrest of his chair with his fingers and was the first to break the silence in the room: "Everyone, I’m sure you all understand the current situation. Does anyone have any good suggestions?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Quan closed his eyes, looking as if he was oblivious to the happenings around him. Chu Huaiyang and Song Mingzhe didn’t say anything either, but directed their gaze at Zhu Hong. Zhu Hong had always been the one dealing with the God Organization, so it was most appropriate for him to handle such matters.

Noticing their small actions, Lin Guodong turned his head to look at Zhu Hong and asked, "Mr. Zhu, what do you think?"

Zhu Hong played with his nails and replied, "In my opinion, you can’t blame anyone else for this matter; you can only blame yourselves. Your move back to East Sea City was too rushed, you weren’t prepared at all, and you hastily intruded on someone else’s territory. Besides, you’ve let Ling Chen and his team seize the advantage."

"Mr. Zhu, I understand everything you’re saying, but the situation has already unfolded and there needs to be a resolution, don’t you think? Since we’re partners, I’d like to hope Mr. Zhu can help out a bit to quickly improve the current situation."

Zhu Hong nodded and said, "Mr. Lin, if that’s how you see it, let me be frank. As of now, the God Organization’s situation in East Sea City is quite dire. According to the intelligence we have, Ling Chen has already teamed up with the Secret Society. We’re all aware of the Secret Society’s capabilities. Now, East Sea City is covered by their intelligence network, every move the God Organization makes is under surveillance. If you dare to take any significant actions, you’ll be discovered immediately. This puts the God Organization in a passive position without a doubt."

"The main reason for all this is none other than that main base. Mr. Lin, to be frank, you’re too careless. Such an important place and you didn’t allocate more defense, you let Ling Chen take it over just like that." At this point, Zhu Hong sighed speechlessly.

After a pause, Zhu Hong continued, "To change this situation, the only way is to retake that base."

Upon hearing this, Lin Guodong frowned and said, "Mr. Zhu, the defenses of that base, you’ve experienced them yourself. We can’t break through in a short time. Moreover, even if we forcefully initiate a war, it will only result in more casualties."

"Mr. Lin, if that’s how you think, then you’ll never alter the God Organization’s stance in East Sea City," Zhu Hong said. "If losing a few people can reclaim the base, why not? It’s better than being constantly suppressed by Ling Chen. Plus, the God Organization never lacks manpower. Mr. Lin, now is the time to show some decisiveness. If you continue to be indecisive, things will only get worse. By then, even if you want to salvage the situation, it will be too late."

"But..." Lin Guodong was still somewhat hesitant.

"Mr. Zhu, it’s easy for you to say. Once I send people into a full-blown conflict, not only will it expose the God Organization’s strength in East Sea City, but more importantly, this is East Sea City, part of Huaxia, not abroad. Any major actions will surely attract police attention. If the police get involved, our operations will be further constrained."

Zhu Hong chuckled and said, "Mr. Lin, I understand your concerns. However, regarding this matter, you can rest assured. I know the most suitable time to strike."

"Really?" Lin Guodong asked curiously, "When?"

Zhu Hong pulled out a folded promotional poster from his pocket and handed it to Lin Guodong.

"Mr. Lin, take a look yourself."

Lin Guodong, half-believing, unfolded the poster, his brow furrowing involuntarily.

"This is... Tang Shiyun’s concert?"

"Yes, indeed," Zhu Hong nodded, "As far as I know, Ling Chen has a very good relationship with Tang Shiyun. By then, Ling Chen is sure to attend her concert at the stadium. Moreover, Tang Shiyun is a well-known star in the country, with huge popularity. Once the concert begins, it will surely attract a large audience. To maintain order at the venue, the police will definitely allocate more personnel to ensure the concert’s security. So, when the concert starts, the entire police force in East Sea City will be significantly reduced. That time would be our best opportunity to make a move."

Having heard Zhu Hong’s suggestion, Lin Guodong nodded and said, "That’s a good proposal, worth considering."

"Mr. Lin, does this really require consideration? If you miss this chance, you’ll never have such a good opportunity again. As the leader of the God Organization, being hesitant at such a time doesn’t align with your typical style." After a pause, Zhu Hong added with a smile, "Of course, this is a matter for the God Organization, we’re just collaborators. How you proceed is your business, anyway, the consequences aren’t ours to bear."
