The Beauty CEO's Personal Expert

Ling Chen nodded, raised his thumb and said, "I didn’t expect you to have some research in this area, not bad!" Saying that, Ling Chen picked up an M416 assault rifle from the weapon rack, loaded a full magazine, and then cocked the gun. The sound was crisp and the surface was smooth, indicating that its owner regularly maintained these firearms.

"You don’t have the strength now, so it’s just right to use these to arm yourself."

Hearing this, Ling Chen couldn’t help but touch his nose, and said with a bitter smile, "Lady Zhu, are you complaining about this burden of mine?"

"Did I complain? Even if I did, there’s nothing I can do, since you are my employer." After a pause, Zhu Qing said unhappily, "I say, can you stop always calling me Lady Zhu, and just call me Zhu Qing?"

"Alright, alright, it’s my mistake, I’ll definitely change in the future. You go upstairs first and check on everyone, have them all get ready, I’ll pack up a few things and be right along."

After Zhu Qing left, Ling Chen took a big bag from the side and packed everything needed inside. Tonight was a crucial night, and he had to be fully prepared without the slightest error.

Carrying the big bag back to the living room upstairs, everyone was already ready and could set off at any time. Ling Chen took out his phone, glanced at the time, and said, "Everyone take a break, we’ll move out at midnight, twelve o’clock sharp."

There were still more than ten hours until the action, a long enough time. Chen Junfeng and Zhang Zhongfeng returned to their respective rooms to rest and prepare for the night’s combat. Among the five, the busiest was Zhu Qing, as she had to constantly monitor the situation outside. Zhu Qing was well-suited to be a scout due to her assassin background and expertise in stealth and concealment.

Around three o’clock in the afternoon, Zhu Qing hurriedly returned from outside. As soon as she entered, Ling Chen, who was sitting in the living room with his eyes closed, noticed Zhu Qing’s face was not looking good, "What’s wrong?"

"The police, along with those mercenaries, have started searching the entire town house by house; in two or three hours at most, they’ll search here."

"The homeowner here is away on vacation, they shouldn’t come in."

"That’s not necessarily true, I secretly monitored their actions. If they encounter a house with no one inside, they’ll still find a way to get in. There’s still over three hours until dark; we probably can’t wait that long."

Hearing this, Ling Chen slightly frowned. After pondering for a while, he nodded and said, "Help me call Sir Chen and Zhang Zhongfeng, we’ll act ahead of schedule and leave this place as soon as possible."

At four in the afternoon, everyone gathered in the garage. With Ling Chen and Zhang Zhongfeng’s help, Hu Fei was slowly carried to the back seat because the abdominal wound was quite severe, preventing him from sitting up, so he had to lie down. Zhu Qing and Zhang Zhongfeng guarded his sides, ensuring his safety.

Once in the car, Ling Chen glanced at Chen Junfeng in the front passenger seat, then started the off-road vehicle, ready to drive out.

However, at that moment, a sudden burst of gunshots rang out through the town.

"What’s going on?"

Zhu Qing looked worried, "Could they have found us?"

Ling Chen thought for a moment, then shook his head, "Everyone, don’t panic; the gunshots are over a hundred meters away from us, definitely not aimed at us. If I’m not mistaken, it’s likely that Zhu Hong and Chen Quan have been discovered by those mercenaries." At this point, Ling Chen couldn’t help but smile and said, "It’s truly heaven’s help for me. With Zhu Hong attracting the mercenaries’ attention, the pressure on our side will be greatly reduced."

Finishing his words, Ling Chen opened the garage’s automatic rolling door and slowly drove the off-road vehicle outward.

Before long, the off-road vehicle reached the main road in the town center. Ling Chen drove at a speed of over thirty miles per hour along the spacious road, careful not to drive too fast to avoid drawing attention. Along the way, Ling Chen saw police officers and mercenaries running past on both sides of the road, heading in the direction of the gunshots, probably to support the team over there.

The town was small, and a few minutes later, Ling Chen followed the main road out of town and directly drove toward Qiu Yong’s location. Although leaving the town, everyone didn’t relax, instead heightening their vigilance.

Soon, Ling Chen saw a checkpoint at the intersection, with two police cars and three off-road vehicles blocking the road. At the moment, five cars were lined up there, waiting for inspection.

Ling Chen parked the off-road vehicle at the end of the line, then looked around at the situation. Twenty meters away from the checkpoint, a camp was set up with over a dozen tents, while fully armed mercenaries occasionally walked past. Roughly estimating, there appeared to be thirty or forty mercenaries there.

Exhaling slowly, Ling Chen looked around inside the car and asked, "Is everyone ready?"

Zhang Zhongfeng and Chen Junfeng didn’t speak but silently pulled out their weapons, ready for battle at any moment.

"Let’s go!" At this point, the cars in front of them that had been checked passed smoothly, and Ling Chen drove the off-road vehicle slowly towards the checkpoint. A police officer immediately walked over and signaled for Ling Chen to roll down the window.

Glancing at the police officer outside the window, Ling Chen’s mouth slightly lifted, and he suddenly floored the accelerator, rushing straight ahead. At the same time, all the windows opened, and Chen Junfeng and Zhu Qing swiftly climbed out, charging toward the mercenaries guarding the checkpoint. Instead of exiting the car, Zhang Zhongfeng emerged from the sunroof, holding a longbow, facing the mercenaries in the direction of the camp, ready to use arrows mercilessly to stop anyone coming to support.

Heavenly List experts and professional assassins acting simultaneously, in the blink of an eye, all the mercenaries guarding the checkpoint were eliminated. As for the police officers... Chen Junfeng and Zhu Qing spared them, as Ling Chen had previously instructed. Killing police officers would mean going against this country’s government, causing themselves big trouble.

With the checkpoint cleared, Ling Chen wasted no time driving the off-road vehicle through the breach. When the camp’s mercenaries chased after them, Ling Chen and the others had already driven far away.

Hearing the sporadic gunshots coming from the town, Zhu Qing asked, "Do you think Zhu Hong and Chen Quan can survive?"

"Hard to say, Zhu Hong has always had good luck; otherwise, he wouldn’t have survived to this day. Moreover, he has a monstrously capable Chen Quan by his side." Ling Chen hoped Zhu Hong and Chen Quan would die in that town. However, knowing Chen Quan’s strength, the likelihood was not very high.

"I can’t quite understand why Seland is relentlessly pursuing us? To hunt us down, he’s already lost so many mercenaries."
