The Beauty CEO's Personal Expert

After a while, a man in black returned to Chen Younian’s side and said in a deep voice, "There’s no sign of anyone else, all the rooms are empty."

"Empty?" Chen Younian’s face sank, and he said coldly, "Weren’t you keeping an eye on Dragon Tiger Hall? Where are they, where did they all go?"

Faced with his questioning, the man in black trembled all over, hurriedly knelt on the ground, and said with his head lowered, "I... I don’t know."

"Useless waste! What good are you." After speaking, Chen Younian casually waved his hand, releasing an invisible Qi Force that suddenly burst forth, directly sending the man in black flying, landing on the ground more than ten meters away. As a mouthful of blood spewed out, the man’s body twitched a few times before losing any sign of life.

Although Ling Chen was entangled in a fight with Su He, he witnessed everything happening on the sidelines. Especially the strength Chen Younian casually displayed left him utterly shocked; the opponent’s power was far beyond what he expected.

"Su Cheng’en, stop wasting time and finish him off quickly."

Upon hearing Chen Younian’s urging, Su Cheng’en responded and immediately stepped into the martial field, ready to join the battle. Seeing the opponent’s actions, Ling Chen’s face changed; dealing with just Su He was already challenging enough, and now there’s Su Cheng’en. How can this still be a fair fight?

In an instant, Ling Chen made a quick decision, the Wave-cutting Sword flew from his hand, forcing Su He back a few steps. Seizing the opportunity, he leaped towards the wall.

"Where do you think you’re going!" Su Cheng’en shouted coldly, exerting force with his feet, quickly chasing in the direction Ling Chen was escaping. However, he had barely charged out when a ’boom’ sounded, and simultaneously, the ground ahead of him suddenly exploded, a shower of debris and flames shot upwards, and a powerful blast wave instantly sent him flying away.

The sudden change left everyone present dumbfounded. Before they could react, a series of ’boom boom’ explosions sounded around them, causing the entire martial field’s ground to split open, and several men in black fell into the fissures before they could respond.

Witnessing the Dragon Tiger Hall turning into a sea of fire, Chen Younian’s face became terrifyingly cold. At this moment, he finally understood why Dragon Tiger Hall was deserted; Ling Chen had placed unknown amounts of explosives intending to bury them all in flames.

Humph! Too bad... he underestimated me; this level of threat is nothing to me.

His gaze shifted, and he saw Ling Chen had reached the edge of the wall; he seemed to have planned this beforehand, as the route he took avoided the explosion’s impact just perfectly. Let’s see where you can escape to! Chen Younian sneered coldly, stepping out with one foot, and instantly, his body vanished from its original spot, nowhere to be seen.

At this moment, Ling Chen pushed forward with all his might, charging ahead with his full strength; as long as he got over the wall, he would be safe. But just as he was about to reach the base of the wall, an intense sense of crisis suddenly welled up from behind him.

Not good!

He whipped around, not having time to react before a hand locked onto his shoulder. Then, with the arm’s light flick, his body was lifted into the air, dropping straight towards the center of the martial field.

By now, the entire martial field had turned into a sea of fire, with explosions sounding intermittently. Ling Chen’s pupils shrank, aware of the danger, but suspended in mid-air, he was powerless to alter his trajectory, only able to plummet towards the fiery abyss below.

It’s over... the plan I devised has ended up causing my own death!

With a bitter laugh, Ling Chen closed his eyes, abandoning the thought of survival. At this moment, he had no path to life remaining.

Boom!

Suddenly, a massive explosion erupted from below, flames splattering out, and a powerful blast wave spread out, impacting Ling Chen’s body just right. Affected by the blast, Ling Chen’s descent was immediately altered, sending him flying towards a nearby building, crashing through the roof, and landing inside the house.

Pain... so much pain... From within a pile of bricks, Ling Chen gradually climbed to his feet, gasping for breath heavily. The collision when he landed felt like his back had snapped, painful beyond measure.

With the pain somewhat easing, Ling Chen glanced around at the surroundings, his face abruptly changing.

This room... not good! He didn’t have time to think further, gritting his teeth through the agonizing pain, he dashed towards the window, leaping upwards. As he crashed through the window, a ’bang’ exploded behind him, the entire house bursting apart, and before he hit the ground, Ling Chen’s body was once again swept up by the blast, slamming harshly into the ground.

Under the severe pain, Ling Chen grunted softly, unable to rise again, slipping into unconsciousness.

...

"This station reports that an explosion occurred last night at a martial arts academy on the west side of East Sea City. The cause of the explosion is unknown. Currently, firefighters are conducting search and rescue on the scene. Aside from more than a dozen burned bodies, no other survivors have been found..."

Nanrong Family.

After watching the news broadcast on television, Nanrong Wanqing’s face turned pale instantly. She urgently pulled out her phone to call Ling Chen, but the call couldn’t get through.

"No... no... you won’t be in any trouble..."

She pressed her phone aimlessly, muttering to herself, tears streaming uncontrollably down her face.

...

"Ling Chen? Any news of him yet?"

In a villa on the outskirts of East Sea City, Tong Zhentian shouted aloud. Next to him, He Ziyun and others remained silent, nobody replied. Since the explosion, Ling Chen had been out of contact, and no one knew about his condition.

Seeing everyone silent, Tong Zhentian grew anxious and called out, "Where’s Tian Hanzhong?"

"Hall Master, I’m here."

Tong Zhentian said solemnly, "Didn’t you send people to investigate at Dragon Tiger Hall? Did you find any sign of Ling Chen?"

Tian Hanzhong shook his head and said, "No. Dragon Tiger Hall has been destroyed by fire, and the corpses on the site are all charred, making it impossible to identify their identities. Forensic scientists are verifying their identity through DNA, but it takes time." Hesitating for a moment, he continued, "Elder Tong, with no news from Ling for so long, if he didn’t leave last night, then he might..."

"Shut up!" Before he could finish, He Ziyun snapped, "Don’t talk nonsense, Ling should be fine. He developed the plan himself, surely he left an opening for escape."

"It’s our fault." Tong Zhentian said with self-reproach, "Had we known, we shouldn’t have agreed to his mad plan back then."

"Now’s not the time for this, the priority is finding Ling Chen." He Ziyun said, "Tian Hanzhong, send everyone out. I want you to watch the hall round-the-clock, regardless of alive or dead, if Ling Chen is found, notify us immediately."

"Yes, I’ll get to it right away."
