Chapter 603 - 600 Scapegoat
With Tang Yuan, a person familiar with the environment, leading the way, Ling Chen and his companion saved a lot of time. Not long after, they arrived at the second floor of the base. According to Tang Yuan, the interrogation room was located here.
Previously, in the basement cells, there weren’t many people around, just a few guards, easy to avoid. However, the second floor of the base was different; the hallways were bustling with office workers in suits, among which were formal members of Lonely Wolf, many of whom Ling Chen and Tang Yuan knew—comrades they had fought alongside.
Hiding in a corner, they waited until a group of office workers nearby had left, then Ling Chen and Tang Yuan hastened their steps, darting toward the interrogation room.
However, before they reached the door of the interrogation room, Ling Chen, with his keen hearing, detected the sound of footsteps coming from around the corner ahead.
Without time to think, Tang Yuan shoved open the closest room door and pulled Ling Chen inside.
Upon entering, the room fell immediately silent, all eyes fixated on Ling Chen and Tang Yuan.
Seeing the few people inside smoking, Ling Chen and Tang Yuan’s faces were instantly filled with embarrassment, momentarily unsure of what to do.
"Uh..." After being startled for a moment, Ling Chen forced a stiff smile on his face and raised his hand, saying, "Long time no see."
Hearing his greeting, the few people in the room looked at each other, a hint of amusement in their eyes. Then, they continued to smoke and chat, ignoring Ling Chen and Tang Yuan altogether.
Seeing this, Ling Chen felt a warmth in his heart and his tension eased considerably.
