CHAPTER 1019: CHAPTER 1026: AN UNEXPLAINABLE ACCIDENT

At this moment, near the base, more than a dozen workers in road safety uniforms were holding barriers and closed off several roads, diverting all passing vehicles to take alternative routes.

After the roadblocks were set up, several box trucks slowly drove over, heading straight towards the base.

As the box trucks reached their destination, the cargo compartments opened from the back, and armed men jumped out of the trucks, gathering by the roadside. A rough glance showed at least a hundred people. At the same time, several trucks carrying heavy machinery drove in from the other side of the road.

When the trucks were parked, Zhu Hong jumped down from the passenger seat and walked straight into the crowd.

"Mr. Ji, are all the people here?" Zhu Hong asked.

"They’re here, and all the equipment is here, ready to act anytime," standing at the front of the crowd, Ji Gang replied. "Where’s your Master?"

"Don’t worry, Mr. Ji, my Master will arrive soon and won’t delay the important matters." With that, Zhu Hong turned and looked at the construction site not far away, saying, "Mr. Ji, tonight’s battle is crucial for the God Organization’s future survival in East Sea City. You better take it seriously and make sure nothing goes wrong. As partners, only if you stand your ground firmly, will my days be easier."

"Zhu Hong, the God Organization never stops until we achieve our purpose. Just wait and see; this base will be taken back sooner or later," Ji Gang said, ordering several subordinates below, "Get ready immediately, attack in half an hour."

Inside the base.

Watching the surveillance footage displayed on the big screen, Tang Guolun, Hu Fei, and the others unconsciously tensed up.

"Boss Tang, looks like the God Organization is planning something big."

"What are we afraid of? With this base, we’ll meet soldiers with generals, water with earth. I want to see what capabilities the God Organization truly has." After a pause, Tang Guolun looked at Hu Fei and said, "Call Ling Chen, inform him about the situation here, and have him come back immediately. We need him to hold the fort."

"I think Ling Chen is at Shiyun’s concert tonight."

"What’s more important, his little girlfriend’s concert or the security of the base? Stop the nonsense and make the call." With that, Tang Guolun continued to instruct, "Zhou Jun, since Ling Chen isn’t here temporarily, the armored robot is yours. They’ll definitely use heavy machinery to destroy the base’s outer defenses later. Your primary task is to stop them. Any problems?"

"Boss Tang, rest assured, I guarantee not to disappoint you," Zhou Jun quickly assured.

"Very good. Elder Zhou!" Tang Guolun turned his gaze to Zhou Qi on the side and said, "We will find a way to block the attack from the God Organization; the rest is up to you, according to the plan we discussed earlier."

"I understand."

"Alright, since everyone knows their job, take your positions. Report to me immediately if there are any issues."

...

In the VIP lounge of the gymnasium.

Ling Chen waited outside for a few minutes, finally seeing Nanrong Wanqing emerging from the restroom.

"Wanqing." Ling Chen hurried over, trying to take Nanrong Wanqing’s hand, but she threw her hand behind her, avoiding Ling Chen’s grasp.

Seeing Nanrong Wanqing’s behavior, Ling Chen gave a bitter smile and said, "Wanqing, I know you’re mad at me. No matter if you scold or hit me, I’ll accept it, but please, don’t treat me so coldly. At least talk to me."

"What do you want me to say?" Nanrong Wanqing coldly replied.

"Wanqing, I was wrong about your father’s matter. I shouldn’t have hidden it from you for so long. I just hope you can understand; I really didn’t know how to bring it up to you."

Hearing this, Nanrong Wanqing stared into Ling Chen’s eyes and asked, "You think that’s your only mistake?"

Ling Chen was stunned and asked in confusion, "Do I have other mistakes?"

"Think carefully yourself; apart from my father’s matter, where else did you go wrong? Don’t come to me until you figure it out." With that, Nanrong Wanqing stormed out.

Seeing her leave, Ling Chen quickly grabbed Nanrong Wanqing’s arm, urgently saying, "Wanqing, I really don’t know. At least give me a hint."

"Ling Chen, even now, you’re still pretending in front of me?" Nanrong Wanqing said coldly, "Aren’t you clear in your heart about what you’ve done wrong towards me? Or do you really want me to say it all out?"

"Say it!" Ling Chen nodded and said, "I really don’t know where I went wrong. Although I have my flaws, I have never made a fundamental mistake."

"Alright, you forced me. Let me ask you, what’s the relationship between you and Leng Feifei?"

"Feifei?" Hearing Nanrong Wanqing mention Leng Feifei, Ling Chen couldn’t help but feel a pang in his heart. The fact that Nanrong Wanqing brought up Leng Feifei specifically, could it mean she found out about the matter between them?

However, he had never disclosed anything about Leng Feifei, so how did Nanrong Wanqing know? Could it be Leng Feifei herself went to Nanrong Wanqing and told her?

No! It couldn’t be. Ling Chen thought to himself. Although Leng Feifei expressed her liking for him, her character would never allow her to do such a thing. As thoughts flashed quickly, a spark of intuition suddenly crossed Ling Chen’s mind.

That’s it!

Han Mingchao, it must be that bastard. No wonder a few days ago, he saw Han Mingchao moving out of the villa across the street. At the time, he thought Han Mingchao was afraid of getting into trouble with him, but now he realized Han Mingchao should be afraid of retaliation.

Good, Han Mingchao, I spared you, and yet you turned to harm me instead.

While thinking, Nanrong Wanqing saw the flickering eyes of Ling Chen, who remained silent for a long time, and she lightly bit her lip, saying, "Looks like I was right, there is indeed an unspeakable relationship between you and Leng Feifei. Ling Chen, I trusted you so much, and yet you betrayed me like this."

"No, it’s not like that," Ling Chen quickly explained. "Wanqing, it’s not what you think. Yes, something did happen with Feifei, but it was not by our will. If you must blame someone, then blame Han Mingchao; it’s all his doing. Wanqing, believe me, Feifei and I are truly innocent."

Nanrong Wanqing looked pale, holding back tears, and said, "You admitted to having relations with her, so what innocence is there to speak of? Ling Chen, do you really think I’m that easy to deceive?"

"Wanqing, will you hear me out? You’re a reasonable person; if you know what happened, I’m sure you’ll understand me."

"Fine." Nanrong Wanqing took a deep breath and nodded, "Go ahead, I want to hear what excuses you have for covering up your disgraceful behavior."
