The Beauty CEO's Personal Expert

"Come with me," Ling Chen pointed to the door, motioning for Luo Haiyan to go out. The latter dared not disobey and obediently walked out. Not long after, the two of them exited the large house one after the other.

Upon seeing Luo Haiyan’s appearance, Chen Junfeng and the others responsible for responding outside were taken aback, asking in surprise, "Ling Chen, isn’t this Miss Nanrong? How is she here?"

"Don’t get it wrong, she’s not Wanqing, she just had plastic surgery to look like her." Ling Chen paused, then continued, "I just asked her, and she hasn’t seen Zhu Hong these past two days. That guy must have gone down the mountain already."

As they spoke, a loud ’bang’ suddenly came from the direction of the elevator, instantly drawing their attention.

"Something’s happened, let’s go." With no time to think further, Ling Chen hurriedly led the group towards that direction. By the elevator, Ling Chen looked closely and saw smoke rising from the elevator’s control panel, which had been damaged, and even the ropes had been severed.

Seeing this situation, Ling Chen’s face changed, and he immediately shouted into the walkie-talkie, "Big brother, where are you guys?"

"We’re already at the foot of the mountain, when are you coming down?"

"Big brother, didn’t you encounter anyone just now?"

"Who? No one."

Hearing this, Ling Chen realized something was wrong and urgently said, "Everyone, stay on alert." Since Qiu Yong and his group had safely descended, the person who damaged the elevator must still be nearby.

"Ling Chen, we’re all acquaintances, no need to be so tense." At this time, a voice came from not far away.

The group turned their heads to see Zhu Hong and Chen Quan slowly appearing in their view. Ling Chen’s expression darkened; they were indeed still on the mountaintop.

"Ling Chen, you got here faster than I expected," Zhu Hong sneered, "I initially wanted to enjoy some peace and quiet here. It seems I’ll have to find another place now."

While speaking, Ling Chen noticed that Zhu Hong and Chen Quan’s attire seemed a bit strange.

It’s... bat suits!

"You knew we were coming?" Chen Junfeng said in a deep voice.

Zhu Hong said smugly, "Of course, otherwise, how do you think you got the intelligence so easily? I wanted you to know I’m here, so you’d come looking for me." Saying this, he pointed to the supplies boxes piled around the mountaintop, "Ling Chen, do you know what’s inside those boxes?"

Upon hearing Zhu Hong’s inquiry, Ling Chen was puzzled. He had come up using the supply boxes today and had seen clearly they contained some food. However, since Zhu Hong asked this, the contents were surely not as simple as just food.

Seeing Ling Chen remain silent, Zhu Hong slightly raised the corners of his lips and said, "Why don’t you take a look?"

After hesitating a bit, Ling Chen walked to one of the supply boxes, opened the lid, and peered inside. The top layer was all frozen food; he pulled it out and continued looking further down. When he saw the contents clearly, his pupils constricted.

It’s... explosives?

All at once, Ling Chen’s face turned extremely grim. On this mountaintop, there were at least dozens of supply boxes scattered everywhere; if they all contained the same, the consequences would be unimaginable.

"Zhu Hong, you’ve gone mad!"

"You’re right, I am mad," Zhu Hong said nonchalantly, "but it’s all because of you, you drove me mad. Well, it’s about time, I should leave, and you can stay and enjoy the fireworks show." With that, he and Chen Quan strode straight toward the edge of the mountaintop.

"Don’t leave me behind." At this moment, Luo Haiyan was anxious, shouting loudly, "I’m your woman, take me with you."

"You?" Zhu Hong sneered dismissively and said, "You’re just a plaything, not my woman."

With that, he leapt, arms outspread, and under the guidance of the bat suit, his body glided like a wing and instantly disappeared into the night. At the same time, there was a ’boom,’ and the supply box in the center of the mountaintop suddenly exploded, with a powerful shockwave quickly erupting.

Watching one supply box after another being triggered, the hearts of the group sank to rock bottom.

Under these circumstances, escaping was impossible; to dodge the bombs, they’d have to jump off the mountaintop. But by doing so, they’d either be blown to pieces or fall to their deaths.

"Ling Chen." At this moment, Chen Junfeng, on the side, seemed to think of something and said, "Do you remember the rolling stone mechanism we encountered when we attacked the Dangyang Sect last time?"

Hearing this, Ling Chen paused slightly, immediately understanding what the other party meant.

"No time, let’s go!"

Saying that, the group quickly rushed toward the edge of the mountaintop. As they were about to fall, Ling Chen turned, drew a dagger, and fiercely stabbed it into the mountain wall. Instantly, the dagger’s blade was fully embedded in the mountain wall, firmly securing it.

At this moment, continuous ’boom’ explosions sounded on the mountaintop, and the entire mountaintop was engulfed in flames. Ling Chen sighed inwardly; Zhu Hong was too ruthless. He had wanted to save the people from the lab, but alas, there was no time. With such an explosion, those people couldn’t possibly survive.

The explosions continued for several minutes before ending. When the mountaintop was safe, Ling Chen and his party returned to the top. In the blast’s aftermath, the entire mountaintop had been flattened, leaving nothing behind.

"Is everyone okay?" Ling Chen asked.

"We’re fine. What do we do now? The elevator’s destroyed, leaving us trapped here."

"It’s okay; I’ll have someone come to pick us up soon." With that, Ling Chen took out his phone and called Tang Yuan. Being so high up on the mountain, the only option was for Tang Yuan to send a helicopter for pickup.

After waiting on the mountaintop for over three hours, a helicopter finally appeared in their view.

Tang Yuan was in Beijing, with no time to rush over, so he had a nearby military unit dispatch a helicopter instead. Once back on solid ground, Ling Chen let out a slow breath, reflecting on the thrilling experience on the mountaintop, which almost cost him his life.

However, despite falling into Zhu Hong’s trap, the gains were significant; at least they brought out the lab’s server. After returning, they could have Hu Fei help crack the server’s password and extract the experimental data inside.

"Ling Cheng."

In contemplation, Qiu Yong approached and said, "It’s time to head back."

Ling Chen responded affirmatively, "I’m on my way."

At the foot of the mountain, there were several off-road vehicles left by the Heavenly Dragon Sect members, so there was no shortage of transportation. After traversing through the forest and an hour-long drive, the group finally made it safely back to East Sea City.
