Chapter 651 - 656: Alcohol Immortal
It was still early, so Ling Chen took the opportunity to swing by Wealthy Manor. After being away for a few days, he needed to check in at home to keep Nanrong Wanqing and the others from worrying.
Upon arriving home, he coincidentally ran into Nanrong Wanqing just as she was getting off work.
However, aside from Nanrong Wanqing, he didn’t see Su Lin at home. Upon asking, he learned that Su Lin had gone for an internship and it was unclear when she would return.
"Have you been very busy lately, not coming back for a whole week?"
On the living room sofa, Nanrong Wanqing lay in Ling Chen’s arms, hugging his waist with an intimate gesture. With Su Lin not at home, they didn’t need to be as cautious.
Ling Chen gently stroked Nanrong Wanqing’s silky hair and said softly, "I’ve been pretty busy with a lot of things lately, but it will be over soon."
"Because of the God Organization?"
Upon hearing Nanrong Wanqing’s question, Ling Chen hesitated for a moment but ultimately nodded. He didn’t want to lie to Nanrong Wanqing about this matter since she would eventually find out about it. Rather than making strenuous explanations later, it was better to tell the truth now.

I know everyone from the God Organization are bad people, but even if you don’t act, there will naturally be others who will deal with them. Besides, you aren’t alone now, you should think about the people around you. What would I do if something happened to you, have you ever considered my feelings?"
"Alright!" Ling Chen comforted her: "Don’t worry, I know how to take care of myself, nothing will happen."
After a pause, Ling Chen continued, "There are things I can ignore, but I’m already involved in this matter, and it’s not so easy to extricate myself. Moreover, we’ve put in so much effort and finally made it this far. It would be too regrettable to give up now. This battle isn’t just for me, it’s for thousands of people. As long as the God Organization still exists, we are all in danger. Perhaps you don’t know, but there are many behind me who will also be in danger if I withdraw. At this critical moment, I cannot abandon them. As a man, I must be brave enough to take on my responsibilities. Do you really want your man to be a coward?"
"No, that’s not what I mean, I just..."
