CHAPTER 1012: CHAPTER 1019: NANRONG FATHER AND SON

"Mr. Lin," Ji Gang, who had been silent all along, spoke up, "I think Zhu Hong’s suggestion is good. We can give it a try. After all, God Organization has a lot of manpower. Even if we lose some, it’s not a big deal. However, what I’m worried about now is, if we launch an attack, how are we going to break the base’s defenses? Last time, Chen Quan and I tried, and the base’s defenses were very strong. Unless we use large machinery, there’s no way to break through the base’s defenses."

Beside him, Zhu Hong chimed in, "Additionally, the armored iron man in the base is also a big problem."

"That armored iron man is the latest equipment developed by God Organization, originally intended for individual combat, positioned as a high-firepower lethal weapon. However, we were too careless and let that armored iron man fall into Ling Chen’s hands," Lin Guodong spoke. "But the main reason I called everyone together this time is because God Organization’s researchers have been captured by Ling Chen. Those researchers are the most important asset of God Organization. Over the years, all of God Organization’s research results have been developed by them. If those research results fall into Ling Chen’s hands, it will be a huge threat to us. Therefore, we must take action as soon as possible."

At this point, Lin Guodong looked at Zhu Hong and said, "Mr. Zhu, I support your proposal. The concert is in about ten days, and during this time, we will make all the preparations to seize control of the base. When the time comes, we may have to trouble you."

Zhu Hong smiled slightly, "Mr. Lin, you’re too kind. We are now partners, and it is only right to help each other. Well, if there’s nothing else, we’ll be going now. Notify us when you’re ready to move."

"Alright, no problem."

After seeing Zhu Hong and the others off, Ji Gang looked at Lin Guodong and asked, "Do we need to request help from above for this operation?"

"With Chen Quan’s assistance on the side, two experts from the Heavenly List should be enough. There’s no need to bother the higher-ups."

"Although you say that, Chen Quan is ultimately an outsider. I can’t trust him. And Zhu Hong is not a simple person. He must have his own plans for cooperating with us. We better be on guard against him to avoid being bitten back."

"Don’t worry, I understand this. Elder Ji, time is limited. I will have to trouble you in the upcoming actions. If this operation fails, God Organization will find it very difficult to establish itself in East Sea City. At that time, none of us will be able to explain to the higher-ups."

Upon hearing this, Ji Gang asked, "Mr. Lin, may I ask a nosy question? Why does God Organization want to move all its forces to East Sea City? Although East Sea City is a large coastal metropolis, it doesn’t seem to warrant such attention from God Organization. This time, God Organization seems to have bet everything on East Sea City, leaving no way out. Why is that?"

Lin Guodong replied indifferently, "Elder Ji, this is a secret of the Ling Family. It’s not convenient to disclose it for now. But rest assured, when the time is right, you’ll naturally understand the reason."

...

In the blink of an eye, three days passed.

Wealthy Manor.

At the Nanrong Family, upon learning that Yang Qingling and the others had bought a house, Nanrong Wanqing seemed reluctant. She wished Yang Qingling could stay a while longer, so she could develop a closer bond with her.

Fortunately, the villa Yang Qingling purchased isn’t far. It’s only about ten minutes’ drive away.

In the past few days, the villa’s formalities were almost complete, and Ling Chen helped Yang Qingling pack her belongings at home and moved them all to the car.

"Wanqing, are you staying at home or coming with me?"

"I’ll go with Mrs. Yang and see if there’s anything I can help with." In front of Yang Qingling, Nanrong Wanqing always tried her best to show herself, hoping to gain Yang Qingling’s favor.

As soon as she finished speaking, Nanrong Wanqing suddenly heard her phone ringing.

Taking out her phone and glancing at the caller ID, Nanrong Wanqing walked to the side to answer the call. Not knowing who it was, after listening for a few moments, she turned to Ling Chen and apologized, "I might not be able to make it. There’s something urgent at the company that needs my attention."

Ling Chen smiled and said, "No problem, you go ahead and handle your business. Oh, don’t forget to come to my house for dinner tonight. Mom said she’ll be cooking tonight, so you must be there."

"I know. Don’t worry, I won’t miss it."

After Ling Chen and the others drove off, Nanrong Wanqing called for Zhong Wei and Liang Zhao Hui to drive her out of Wealthy Manor.

"Chairman, are we heading to the company?" Zhong Wei, sitting in the passenger seat, asked.

"Not to the company." Nanrong Wanqing showed an address on her phone to Zhong Wei and said, "We’re going here."

"Understood."

After spending more than twenty minutes on the road, Liang Zhao Hui drove the Rolls Royce to a high-end western restaurant.

"Wait for me in the car," said Nanrong Wanqing as she got out of the car and walked straight to the western restaurant.

It was past lunchtime, and there weren’t many customers in the restaurant. Nanrong Wanqing found a waiter and inquired softly. After a while, she arrived outside a private room.

Opening the door, she saw a well-lit room with two people inside, a young man and a middle-aged man, whose appearances bore some resemblance.

"Uncle, cousin." Nanrong Wanqing closed the door and greeted warmly.

"You’re here!" Nanrong Zhengqing pointed to a seat beside him and smiled, "Come sit. Have you eaten yet? Want me to get you a steak?"

"No need, I ate at home already." After a pause, Nanrong Wanqing asked, "Uncle, when did you return to East Sea City? You should have let me know earlier so I could pick you up from the airport."

"We are used to coming and going freely, no need for such formalities. Wanqing, we’re here mainly because of your issue."

"My issue?" Nanrong Wanqing asked, puzzled, "Uncle, what issue could I possibly have?"

"Cousin, don’t you remember the favor you asked us last time?" Ji Beizhao pitched in, "You wanted us to help find your second uncle, right? My dad and I had some free time recently, so we went back to our hometown and checked on your dad’s whereabouts."

Upon hearing this, Nanrong Wanqing eagerly asked, "Did you find anything?"

"Wanqing, don’t get ahead of yourself," said Nanrong Zhengqing as he set down his knife and fork and picked up a cup of coffee. "Your father’s situation is more complicated than you think. It won’t be resolved quickly. However, we did find some clues."

"What clues?" Nanrong Wanqing asked hastily. Over the years, she had sought help from countless people to find her father’s whereabouts, but to no avail. Now that there were finally some clues, how could she not be excited?
