The Beauty CEO's Personal Expert

Chapter 1545 - 1850: Yihai Technology (1)

"Regardless of whether this person is Xie Quan’s apprentice or not, in short, he committed six murders in one day. Such a ruthless person should not be allowed to live." Ling Chen’s face appeared somewhat grave as he spoke.

The situation left him with no choice but to worry; that person had no intention of holding back, aiming for complete annihilation. If such a person appears in the Martial Arts Tournament, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Returning to the villa, the power lines were reconnected shortly, and the house was bright once again. Ling Chen picked up his phone and called Hu Fei, asking him to help retrieve nearby surveillance footage to see if they could find the person’s whereabouts.

"Ling Chen, what’s happening to me?" At this moment, Nanrong Wanqing rubbed her forehead and slowly sat up from the bed.

"Are you okay?" Ling Chen asked with concern, "Someone came in to cause trouble, and you were drugged, which is why you passed out."

"What about those people?"

"I dealt with them. You should rest well. Sir Chen and the others have arrived; I need to arrange accommodations for them."

Hu Fei was efficient; surveillance footage near the villa was retrieved. Unfortunately, even after watching all the footage, Ling Chen did not find any useful clues.

"Ling Chen, do you think that person will continue to commit crimes?" Chen Junfeng asked.

Ling Chen nodded and said, "He definitely will. He won’t stop until his goal is achieved." Ling Chen suddenly smiled, "That guy is quite smart. He went after Qi Yong first and then me. We’re both Earthly List experts, so he probably thinks we’re easy to deal with, making us his priority targets."

"Who do you think his next target will be?"

"Most likely Master Su," Ling Chen said. "His actions have been exposed, and he knows there will be people around me protecting me, so he won’t target me again. Although Master Su is the Pavilion Master of the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion, she knows nothing about Martial Arts, similar to an ordinary person. So, that person is likely to target her. I have already spoken with Master Su on the phone, advising her to be extra careful."

"What I’m worried about is not just that. The audacity of that person, not fearing to oppose our three major forces, makes it hard to believe that he doesn’t have support from someone behind him."

Hearing Chen Junfeng’s words, Ling Chen couldn’t help but be moved, "Sir Chen, you’ve been in the Martial Arts world for decades. Besides us, do other hidden forces exist?"

Chen Junfeng confidently said, "Of course. Huaxia is vast and full of talents. Would you believe me if I told you there are only a few experts in the entire Huaxia? Elder Tong and I have discussed this issue. There are many hidden experts in Huaxia who view fame and fortune as dirt and never get involved in the Martial Arts disputes. Moreover, Elder Tong should have told you that the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion has a list that records many hidden experts and some concealed forces. For this Martial Arts Tournament, the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion has sent invitations to everyone on that list. If even half of them attend, you’ll witness the true Martial Arts."

"Is that so?" Ling Chen touched his nose and said with a smile, "Sir Chen, hearing you speak like this, I am filled with anticipation for this Martial Arts Tournament."

"Don’t talk about anticipation; finding the murderer should be a priority. It’s getting late; go and rest."

The next day.

After dropping off Nanrong Wanqing at the company, Ling Chen drove to an office building in the city center by himself. Alighting from the car, Ling Chen looked up, seeing a huge sign at the top of the office building with the words ’Yihai Technology’ written on it.

"Chen," a voice came from the side at this moment.

Ling Chen turned his head and saw Jiang Yunkai approaching with a few bodyguards in suits. They greeted each other and then walked into the office building. Upon seeing customers, the receptionist immediately came forward with a smile, "Gentlemen, whom are you here to meet?"

"Is Chairman Qu available?"

"Chairman Qu is in his office. Do you have an appointment?"

"No. Please tell Chairman Qu that Ling Chen is here to see him and would like a meeting."

"This..." The receptionist hesitated for a moment, then nodded, "Alright, please wait a moment." With that, she returned to the front desk and picked up the internal phone to make a call.

Shortly, the receptionist returned with a smile and politely said, "I’m very sorry, Mr. Chen. Chairman Qu is currently busy and can’t receive guests right now. If you could leave a phone number, we will notify you when Chairman Qu is available."

"Not available?" Ling Chen smirked slightly and said, "When he’s available, I might not be. Tell him that I, Ling Chen, personally coming to see him is already giving him face. If he continues to decline, don’t blame me for being impolite." With that, Ling Chen led Jiang Yunkai and the bodyguards to sit on the sofa in the lobby.

After five minutes, a woman with glasses and a business skirt walked over from the elevator and politely asked, "Are you Mr. Ling Chen? Hello, I am Chairman Qu’s secretary. Chairman Qu is waiting for you in the meeting room."

"He knows what he’s doing."

Arriving at the top floor of the office building, Ling Chen and his group followed the secretary directly to the meeting room. Upon entering, Ling Chen immediately saw Yihai Technology’s Chairman, Qu Guanying. Ling Chen had met him once before at Hongyu United Investment Company, so he was not unfamiliar.

"Hello, Mr. Ling!" Qu Guanying stood up with a smile, extending his hand, "I was just in a meeting with a major client and couldn’t greet you earlier. I hope Mr. Ling doesn’t mind."

Ling Chen glanced at Qu Guanying’s extended right hand but did not intend to shake it. Instead, he sat down by himself.

"Chairman Qu, we don’t know each other, nor do we have any business dealings. Do you know why I came to see you today?"

"This..." Qu Guanying smiled awkwardly, "Mr. Ling, I can’t guess. Please enlighten me."

"I heard Yihai Technology received investment from an overseas company and is preparing to expand. To be honest, I’m interested in your investor; could you introduce me?"

"Mr. Ling, I’m afraid you’ll be disappointed. This is a company secret of Yihai Technology and cannot be disclosed to outsiders. If you’re looking for investment, I know some acquaintances and can recommend them to you."

Ling Chen waved his hand and said, "I’m not interested in anyone else. I’m only interested in the investor behind you. So? I’ve personally come to ask, and you wouldn’t want to share, Chairman Qu?"
