The Beauty CEO's Personal Expert
Chapter 1815 - 2117: Netherworld Snake’s Objective (2)As he pondered, Qiu Yong brought a group of people over from outside the warehouse.
"Big brother, have you finished dealing with everything on your side?"
"I had about ten people on my side, all taken care of. Didn’t encounter any experts. How about your side?"
"Same, just some ordinary disciples of the Netherworld Snake." At this, Ling Chen felt puzzled. He had expected some Netherworld Snake experts to appear, but it turned out to be just a group of ordinary disciples, completely lacking any combat power.
"Huh!" At this moment, Wei Jiahao noticed the machine in the warehouse and curiously asked, "Ling Cheng, what’s this for?"
"Not sure yet, but judging from the performance of this machine, they seem to want to drill a tunnel."
"Tunnel?" Xu Ming chimed in: "While I was over at the house, I found a map, not sure if it’s useful." With that, he handed the map to Ling Chen.
On the map, Ling Chen discovered a route chart drawn with a red pen. This route was quite unusual; if followed according to the drawn line, it would go over the tops of many houses. "Got it!" Ling Chen nodded silently, and it seemed his guess was correct. These people wanted to use this machine to dig a tunnel, and the route chart on this map was precisely the tunnel’s plan.
Immediately, he took out his phone, snapped a picture of the map, and sent it to Hu Fei, asking him to investigate where the end of the route leads.
"Tian, bring someone over."
"Alright!" Tian Hanzhong responded, pulling a Netherworld Snake member from the corner of the warehouse over to Ling Chen.
Ling Chen gave the person a glance and said, "If you want to live, you’d better cooperate obediently."
"I... I don’t know anything." The man had a frightened look, stammering, "We’re just following orders, don’t know anything else."
"Then you should know why they want you to dig a tunnel, right?"
Upon hearing this, the man quickly shook his head and said, "I really don’t know, the map was given to us by the big leader, and the task was arranged by him. He told us to finish in a week. Once the tunnel is dug, we leave East Sea City immediately."
Looking at the man’s eyes, Ling Chen furrowed his brows slightly; he believed the man wasn’t lying. As thoughts raced through his mind, suddenly his phone rang. The moment he answered, Hu Fei’s voice came from the other end: "I just checked the map, and if I’m not mistaken, this tunnel leads directly to a company called Anton Technology."
"Anton Technology?" Ling Chen asked, "What does that company mainly do?"
"Here’s the interesting part—Anton Technology’s business scope is not tech products. In fact, it’s just a shell company that bought a building under this name. I just did some investigation; the real operator behind Anton Technology is a security consultant company, whose main business is storing valuable items for its clients. Their professional ethics are stricter than a bank. Once they accept an item, no one other than the owner or with valid evidence can access it. Additionally, the company seems to have government partnerships."
"Involving the government, I see!" Ling Chen finally understood. Considering the conduct of the Netherworld Snake, they never do anything that wastes time; if they want something, they go all out to get it. However, this time they are so cautious, probably because they are wary of government involvement. But he’s curious about what the Netherworld Snake wants to find from there.
"Hey, Fatty, is that company’s security tight?"
"How should I know? Want me to investigate for you?"
"Sure, I’ll go with you then." With that, Ling Chen directly hung up the phone. Anything that interests the Netherworld Snake is certainly not simple. Taking this opportunity, maybe he can figure out what the Netherworld Snake and the Dark Pavilion are up to.
Leaving a few people at the warehouse, Ling Chen told Qiu Yong and the others to return to the Dragon Tiger Hall, while he drove to the base.
Once there, Ling Chen parked the car by the roadside. Shortly after, Hu Fei appeared wearing a suit and carrying a briefcase. Upon seeing Hu Fei dressed like this, Ling Chen couldn’t help but chuckle. Knowing him for so long, he seldom saw him in a suit, and with his round body, the suit looked as awkward as could be.
"What are you laughing at?" Sitting in the back seat, Hu Fei glared and said, "Drive the car."
"Why are you sitting in the back? Come to the front."
"I’m the boss now, you’re the driver. Have you seen a boss sitting in the passenger seat? Anyway, cut the nonsense and let’s go; I have a meeting with someone from that company in half an hour."
Twenty minutes later, Ling Chen and Hu Fei arrived outside Anton Technology Company. This company was located in a five-story building next to the fire station and the crossroads. As the boss, Hu Fei walked ahead and directly opened the door to go inside. A receptionist immediately greeted them, smiling, "Hello, sir, how can I help you?"
"I have an appointment with your Manager Li."
"Ah, you’re Mr. Hu!" The receptionist smiled and said, "Manager Li has instructed me to take you directly to his office when you arrive. Please follow me, both of you."
Led by the receptionist, they proceeded directly to the second floor of the building. Throughout the journey, Ling Chen kept an eye on the inside layout of the building. There was very little security personnel inside, almost none, but the surveillance equipment was highly dense, with a camera every six or seven meters. The entire building was covered by surveillance, leaving no blind spots.
Entering the general manager’s office, they were welcomed by a forty-year-old middle-aged man, the very Manager Li that Hu Fei had previously arranged to meet. "Mr. Hu, this gentleman is..." Manager Li glanced at Ling Chen and asked.
"He’s my driver and bodyguard."
"Mr. Hu, for safety reasons, we should discuss privately."
"No need for that," Hu Fei dismissed the idea with a wave of his hand. "He’s the person I trust the most, no need to sidestep." With that, he sat down on the couch, "Manager Li, let’s get to business."
Manager Li nodded, saying, "Alright. I don’t know how Mr. Hu found out about our company, but I must say, our company typically only deals with governmental agencies and top-tier billionaires. As for Mr. Hu... Frankly, I don’t know much about you. If you don’t mind, could you tell me?"
"Haha!" Hu Fei chuckled and said, "Don’t worry, I’m definitely qualified to be a client of your company. As for what I do, you don’t have to inquire much. If you don’t believe me, I can give you my bank account number for you to check the balance inside."
