Chapter 695 - 700: The Banquet
"A big problem?" Hu Fei asked confusedly, "Where is the problem? I didn’t sense it."
Ling Chen shook his head and said, "I can’t articulate it clearly at the moment, but it’s a kind of intuition. Think about it, when Lin Jiawei kidnapped the porridge girl, Ji Gang, an expert from the Heavenly List, was also present. If Lin Jiawei’s status in the God Organization wasn’t high, why would they dispatch an expert from the Heavenly List to accompany him? That’s one thing. Another point is, the last time Lin Jiawei came to East Sea City, Ji Gang was with him; clearly they were aware that I am not easy to handle, so they sent someone who could hold the fort. But what about this time? Lin Jiawei wanted to come to the base to rescue people, and though he brought a good number of men, there weren’t that many real experts with him. Last time, he was protected by an expert from the Heavenly List, but this time he only had a bottom-ranking expert from the Earthly List. Isn’t the discrepancy too big? That’s why I’m wondering if there might be an issue."
After listening to Ling Chen’s speculation, Hu Fei nodded convincingly and said, "If you put it that way, indeed there seems to be a problem. All right, what do you suggest we do? I’ll follow your lead."
Ling Chen thought for a moment, then said, "Don’t act against Lin Jiawei for now, let’s see how the God Organization reacts."
"Not act against him?"
"Correct, we’ll detain him for the time being and monitor his movements 24 hours a day, and decide what to do after observing for a few days."
"Okay then." Hu Fei was somewhat reluctant but still followed Ling Chen’s arrangements. Watching Ling Chen turn and walk to the interrogation room, Hu Fei suddenly called out to him, asking, "I say, you are also from the Ling Family. In terms of relations, Lin Jiawei is your elder, you wouldn’t be thinking of going easy on him, would you?"
Ling Chen didn’t turn his head back and waved his hand, "Rest assured, we’ve discussed this long ago. If necessary, I will personally deal with him."
"That’s good."
Returning to his room, Ling Chen lay on the bed, staring blankly at the ceiling, his expression somewhat vacant.
