The Beauty CEO's Personal Expert

Leaving the villa, although many people were encountered along the way, they only glanced at Ling Chen without any intention of stopping him. After exiting the villa smoothly, Ling Chen did not go far but waited outside. Ling Gengqiu’s sudden appearance surprised him greatly. In hindsight, the person Ling Gengqiu was tracking should be Chen Younian.

The two of them must have known each other for many years. When they met before, Chen Younian said, ’I didn’t expect you to be alive.’ From this sentence, it can be seen that they had interacted as far back as hundreds of years ago, and Chen Younian was aware of Ling Gengqiu’s experience.

However, what Ling Chen was more curious about was what kind of grievances existed between the two of them. Why did Ling Gengqiu show such anger, as if he had become another person, upon learning of Netherworld Snake’s existence?

Unwittingly, more than an hour had passed, but Ling Gengqiu still hadn’t come out of the villa. Ling Chen sat in a patch of grass, patiently waiting. The reason he stayed here was to meet Ling Gengqiu and ask him about Chen Younian. Also, in case Ling Gengqiu and Chen Younian started fighting, he could lend a hand.

However, no fight took place in the villa; the lights in the living room on the third floor remained on. Occasionally, shadows of people could be seen moving past the curtains.

It wasn’t until around four in the morning that someone finally appeared at the villa’s entrance—Ling Gengqiu. Seeing him come out, Ling Chen hurriedly went to greet him.

"Big brother, you finally came out."

"It’s not convenient to talk here, let’s go first."

With that, the two walked side by side toward the roadside. Luckily, the taxi driver who had charged Ling Chen several hundred yuan was trustworthy and still waiting there. After getting into the car, Ling Chen casually mentioned a place and then looked at Ling Gengqiu beside him, asking, "Big brother, who exactly is Chen Younian?"

"Even if I don’t say it, you should have guessed." Ling Gengqiu began, "He is Netherworld Snake’s strongest ally. As long as he is alive, it is very difficult to destroy Netherworld Snake."

Ling Chen nodded silently, having already guessed Chen Younian’s identity. Ren Donglin had once told him that Netherworld Snake had two very formidable experts. One was Chen Qinghua, the Netherworld Snake assassin who had tried to kill him last time. Besides Chen Qinghua, there was another mysterious person of great strength in Netherworld Snake. At that time, Ren Donglin refused to reveal this person’s identity, believing Ling Chen wouldn’t trust that anyone could live for hundreds of years.

Now thinking about it, Chen Younian should be that mysterious expert Ren Donglin spoke of.

Unfortunately, despite having chatted with Chen Younian just now, he still hadn’t seen his face clearly.

"Big brother, what kind of grudge do you have with Chen Younian?" Ling Chen asked. This was what he was most curious about, as from Ling Gengqiu’s reaction, he seemed to have irreconcilable enmity with Netherworld Snake.

"My grudge with him... It’s a long story, better not to ask." After a pause, Ling Gengqiu changed the subject and asked, "Why were you there?"

Ling Chen shrugged and said, "I thought Wanqing had been taken there."

"Chen Younian doesn’t know about my relationship with you, otherwise Netherworld Snake would never let you go. You might not even be able to leave that villa. In short, don’t expose our relationship. Today I showed up on purpose, so Chen Younian will surely focus on me. Take this opportunity to plan well and see if you can weaken Netherworld Snake’s power. As for Chen Younian... I will deal with him personally, you don’t need to worry."

"Big brother, you want me to go to war with Netherworld Snake?"

"Netherworld Snake’s influence is widespread, with many members. It’s hard for me to achieve anything alone. So, I can only rely on your strength. Of course, if you’re unwilling, I won’t force you."

"Big brother, what kind of words are these? As long as you ask, I’d go through fire and water for you. But, can you tell me why?"

Ling Gengqiu waved his hand and said, "I told you not to ask too much. When the time is right, I will naturally tell you." With that, he patted the taxi driver’s seat, saying, "Stop the car!"

By this time, the taxi had entered the city limits. Seeing Ling Gengqiu push the door open and leave, Ling Chen quickly called out, "Big brother, don’t turn off your phone. In case anything happens, I need to be able to reach you."

Ling Gengqiu answered and walked alone along the nearly deserted street, soon disappearing into the thick night.

After watching Ling Gengqiu leave, Ling Chen had the taxi driver take him to a hotel. It was almost dawn, so he planned to rest and then catch a flight back to East Sea City early in the morning.

...

At ten o’clock in the morning, Ling Chen came out of the East Sea City airport and went directly back to the Dragon Tiger Hall. At this moment, several large buses were parked in the parking lot outside the Dragon Tiger Hall. After the action ended last night, Ling Chen had Qiu Yong and others drive the laboratory’s scientific researchers back to East Sea City overnight via the highway. If they stayed overnight in Jin Hai City, it might attract Netherworld Snake’s pursuit, which would be too risky.

Seeing Ling Chen return safely, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

"Big brother, where were those researchers who were brought back last night detained?"

"There were too many people, so I prepared a large warehouse for them. Since you just got back, why not rest first and interrogate them later."

Ling Chen shook his head and said, "No, I have many questions I’d like to clear up." After a pause, he continued, "Is that person named Bai Zhangqiu still there? Have someone bring him to the interrogation room; I want to speak with him one-on-one."

"Alright."

Back in his room, Ling Chen took a shower, changed into fresh clothes, and then went alone to the interrogation room. By this time, Bai Zhangqiu had already been brought there and was sitting alone in a chair. He seemed somewhat restless.

Seeing Ling Chen come in from outside, Bai Zhangqiu quickly stood up from his chair, saying anxiously, "Mr. Ling, you promised me you’d spare my life. I have a wife and kids, and I don’t want to die so early."

Ling Chen gestured with his hand for him to calm down.

"Mr. Bai, rest assured, I won’t go back on my promise. I brought you here because I want to ask you some questions, and I hope you can help me answer them."

"No problem, no problem," Bai Zhangqiu nodded repeatedly, "As long as I know, I will tell you everything."

"Very well." Ling Chen smiled and asked, "First, tell me, what is the main focus of Netherworld Snake’s laboratory research?"

"Netherworld Snake conducts a lot of research. From what I know, there’s more than one laboratory like ours. Our laboratory mainly deals with human body research. Though it’s all under the umbrella of human body research, there are many branches—such as the brain, body, nerves, and internal organs, with each department having different responsibilities."
