Chapter 628 - 625: Difficult Choices
Watching the time inch closer to ten o’clock, Ling Chen couldn’t help but clench his fists tightly, intently watching Xia Mutong on the screen, with eyes filled with hesitation.
If he didn’t agree, both Xia Mutong and the porridge girl would die. Or, he could make a desperate attempt to rescue the porridge girl, sacrificing Xia Mutong in exchange for the safety of Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion. But in doing so, his conscience would be troubled for life.
Both the porridge girl and Xia Mutong were women who had been involved with him. Just on this point alone, he could not disregard their life and death. As Ling Chen was deep in thought, Hu Fei’s voice suddenly came through the earpiece: "Found the porridge girl. She’s in a room on the second floor to the left, but... I think the chances of rescuing her are slim. There’s an old man watching over her, he’s the one who subdued the porridge girl just now."
Hearing this, Ling Chen’s heart sank, and he immediately abandoned the second plan.
Even the porridge girl was no match for that person, let alone himself.
"Mr. Ling, you have one minute left. Have you made up your mind?"
As Lin Jiawei’s voice rang out, Ling Chen looked up, met his gaze, and nodded: "Fine, I agree with you."
"Haha!" Lin Jiawei laughed and clapped his hands: "I knew Mr. Ling wouldn’t disappoint me. Very good, then I’ll place my hopes in Mr. Ling." As the words ended, a security staff member brought over a black briefcase and placed it in front of Ling Chen.
"Mr. Ling, take good care of this. It contains the equipment you’ll need. Oh, and one more thing! Let me remind you, don’t play any tricks on me. If you dare to deceive me, I assure you I will use all of God Organization’s power against all the friends you know, including Nanrong Wanqing. So you better keep it in mind, and make no mistake."
After hearing the other person’s words, Ling Chen secured the bottle with the blue liquid and then picked up the black briefcase, leaving without a word.
