Chapter 649 - 656 Yang Zhe
Ling Chen spat out a mouthful of blood-stained saliva and, with Zhou Jun’s help, he stood up again.
Gasping for breath, Ling Chen once again fixed his gaze on the strange man. By now, the strange man seemed to have lost his strength and suddenly knelt on the ground, his head weakly tilting to one side. After a while, his body leaned forward and he fell to the ground, motionless.
Seeing this, the few people present all breathed a sigh of relief simultaneously.
"Song, how are you? Are you hurt?" Ling Chen and Zhou Jun hurried to Song Ge’s side, attempting to help him up. However, Song Ge lay on the ground, eyes tightly shut, as if he had fallen into a coma.
"Don’t worry about him; he’s just been struck by steel needles and passed out. He’ll be fine once he wakes up."
At that moment, the voice of a young man came over, bringing a sense of calm to Ling Chen’s tense mood.
Looking at the motionless strange man, Ling Chen curiously asked, "Who is this person, and why was he locked up here?"
The young man replied indifferently, "It’s better not to ask about things that you shouldn’t know." Pausing for a moment, the young man looked at Ling Chen and said, "Anyway, thanks for your help this time. If you hadn’t stabbed the steel needles into him in time, things would probably have gotten out of hand. My name is Yang Zhe, and yours?"
"Ling Chen."
"Ling Chen?" Yang Zhe thought for a moment, then said, "That name sounds familiar; I seem to have heard it somewhere."
"He is the top-ranked newcomer on the Newcomer List this year. You must have heard about him," Zhou Jun reminded.
"Oh, right!" Yang Zhe nodded and added, "Now that you mention it, I remember. Tong Nan mentioned you to me a few days ago. Not bad, looks like you’re not as incompetent as Tong Nan described."
