CHAPTER 783: CHAPTER 788: TRAITOR (2)

Liu Xiyao clutched her cheek tightly, tears streaming down like broken strings of pearls, falling from the corners of her eyes.

"Speak up," Lin Guodong stared at Liu Xiyao’s pretty face and coldly commanded, "I told you to speak; didn’t you hear me?"

Liu Xiyao gently bit her lip, her gaze cast down, staring at the smooth floor, silent, not knowing what to say.

Seeing Liu Xiyao remained silent, Lin Guodong suddenly reached out, pinched the corner of Liu Xiyao’s mouth, lifted her head, and coldly looked into her beautiful eyes, saying word by word, "What, nothing to say now? Hmph!"

With that said, Lin Guodong flung his hand, and Liu Xiyao’s body immediately lost balance, careening forward and toppling to the floor before the sofa.

"Since you don’t want to talk, then don’t. You should be clear about what happens to traitors." With these words, Lin Guodong gestured with a wave of his hand, and a young man who had been standing in the corner immediately came over and asked, "Uncle Lin, any instructions?"

Lin Guodong pointed at Liu Xiyao and said coldly, "Lin Tong, this woman is yours now, you can do as you please with her."

"Yes," Lin Tong nodded, looking excitedly at Liu Xiyao, who was curled up in the corner of the sofa, a flash of lust in his eyes.

Not to mention anything else, Liu Xiyao was an exceptional beauty. Being able to have some tender moments with such a beauty was indeed a great fortune in life.

"Uncle Lin, then I won’t hold back." With these words, Lin Tong charged towards Liu Xiyao, ignoring her struggle and resistance, picked her up from the floor, tossed her onto the soft sofa, and then pressed his body upon her.

"No... don’t! I beg you, please don’t... Uncle Lin, I really realize my mistake, let me go... let me go please..." Liu Xiyao desperately tried to push Lin Tong’s body away with both hands, pleading bitterly.

But Lin Guodong remained unmoved, quietly sitting in his chair, coldly watching everything unfold.

At that moment, Lin Tong, who was on top of Liu Xiyao, suddenly stopped his motions, then shifted his body aside and reached downwards.

"What’s this?" Lin Tong said as he pulled out the object that had been under Liu Xiyao.

A cell phone?

Lin Tong’s eyebrows furrowed slightly. He glanced at Liu Xiyao, then pressed a button on the phone. The phone screen lit up, displaying that a call had been made, but now it was disconnected.

Looking at the call log on the phone, Lin Tong’s expression changed abruptly, he coldly shouted, "You..."

Bang!

Before Lin Tong could finish speaking, a loud crash came from the entrance. Immediately afterward, the tightly shut door was violently kicked open. Lin Tong turned his head, and before he could see who it was, felt a blur of movement in front of him, someone closing in swiftly.

Lin Tong’s mouth opened, but before he could speak, a surge of great force suddenly came, grabbed his shoulder, and flung him out, crashing hard against the wall.

"Who is it?"

Lin Guodong stood up sharply, staring at the newly arrived person.

"Lin Guodong, we finally meet," the person said.

Hearing this, Lin Guodong focused his gaze on the newcomer, his expression turning grave.

Ling Chen!

"So it is you," said Lin Guodong with a smirk that was not quite a smile, "You are indeed bold, daring to come here all alone." After speaking, Lin Guodong turned his gaze to Liu Xiyao and said coldly, "Do you think that with him helping you, you have nothing to fear?"

"No, no, it’s not that, I..."

Liu Xiyao’s words were cut off as Ling Chen interjected, "Alright, stop threatening her. What kind of ability is it for a grown man to threaten a woman? If you have any tricks up your sleeve, come at me. I’ll take them."

"You?" Lin Guodong said disdainfully, "You think you’re worthy?"

"We’ll know if I’m worthy once we try."

"Lin Tong, kill him."

As soon as Lin Guodong gave the order, Lin Tong immediately charged forward, positioning himself in front of Lin Guodong, his gaze coldly fixed on Ling Chen: "Ling, you escaped last time, I won’t let you get away again."

"Save it, less talk, more action. Speak when you’ve got the skills." With that, Ling Chen beckoned with his fingers, his face full of provocation, "Come on, let’s see your recent progress."

"Seeking death!" Lin Tong bellowed as he lightly tapped his toes, thrust his body forward with force, and struck out with a palm towards Ling Chen.

However, before Lin Tong could get close, Ling Chen, who was protecting Liu Xiyao, suddenly raised his steel fist and hurled out a fierce punch.

The powerful punch boomed in the air, exploding upon contact, and sent Lin Tong flying straight into the wall with a bang.

Puh!

Blood spurted out, turning Lin Tong’s face instantly pale.

"You..." Lin Tong, with the aid of the wall, slowly stood up, his eyes incredulous as he looked at Ling Chen and said in astonishment, "Your strength..."

Ling Chen spoke indifferently, "Did you think you’re the only Earthly List expert in this world?"

Hearing the term "Earthly List," Lin Guodong’s brows slightly wrinkled. As a high-ranking member of the God Organization, he certainly knew what an Earthly List expert meant. The God Organization had no lack of Earthly List experts, so he was very aware of their prowess.

His visit to East Sea City this time was meant to be a quiet one; he had intended to see Liu Xiyao and settle matters with this traitor. Therefore, he only brought Lin Tong and a few subordinates, not too many experts, because in his view, dealing with a Liu Xiyao did not require many people.

Unfortunately, he hadn’t expected Ling Chen to suddenly appear.

Seeing Lin Tong was no match for Ling Chen, Lin Guodong made a snap decision and commanded, "Retreat!"

As soon as he spoke, two men in suits guarding Lin Guodong reached into their pockets. Before Ling Chen could react, two ’bangs’ were heard. It was unclear what the men in suits had thrown on the floor, but suddenly the spacious bedroom was engulfed in smoke, filled with a stinging smell so harsh they could hardly keep their eyes open.

"Xiyao."

Ling Chen had intended to pursue Lin Guodong, but thinking of Liu Xiyao behind him, he had no choice but to stop and turn back to her side, picking her up by the waist and quickly rushing out of the bedroom.

Once he had brought Liu Xiyao to the corridor, Ling Chen immediately headed for the staircase. Upon reaching the exterior of the women’s club, the roar of an engine reached his ears. Looking up, he saw a Mercedes sedan swiftly driving towards the road, soon blending into the traffic and disappearing from sight.

Without wasting a moment, Ling Chen took out his cellphone and called Hu Fei.

"Fatty, write down this license plate number... notify everyone immediately to search for this car throughout the city."

After giving the instructions, Ling Chen took the elevator back up to the floor where Liu Xiyao lived.

Seeing Liu Xiyao leaning against the wall, Ling Chen quickly approached her, asking with concern, "Xiyao, are you alright?"
