The Beauty CEO's Personal Expert

Zhu Hong nodded and said, "Let’s proceed, but be sure not to expose our whereabouts."

"Understood." With that, the technician operated the computer and a joystick. Shortly after, a small remote-controlled car appeared behind the container. The car was only palm-sized, equipped with dual tracks, capable of navigating any terrain. Under the technician’s control, the tracked vehicle headed straight toward the manor.

A few minutes later, the remote-controlled vehicle reached the outside of the manor. It easily slipped through the gap in the manor’s gate. Through the camera mounted on the tracked vehicle, Zhu Hong and the technician inside the container could clearly see the situation inside the manor and the distribution of the security personnel.

Under the cover of darkness, coupled with the vehicle’s small size, the surrounding security personnel did not notice its presence. Very quickly, the vehicle maneuvered underneath a Mercedes business car. Upon reaching its destination, the top of the vehicle slowly rose, attaching itself to the underside of the business car like a suction cup.

"OK!" The technician in charge of control breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile, "Mr. Zhu, we’ve succeeded."

"Not bad!" Zhu Hong expressed his satisfaction and said, "Continue. Try to complete all arrangements within an hour."

"Are you sure we can succeed?" At this moment, a voice came from the side. Zhu Hong turned to glance at the speaker, his lips curving into a slight smile as he said, "Why not?"

"You’ve seen the video from Qiu Nanshan before; those people aren’t even human, they’re a bunch of monsters." The one speaking was none other than Qi Yong, the former Sect Leader of the Dangyang Sect who later joined the Heavenly Dragon Sect. Though ambitious, he valued his life more. When the Dangyang Sect was destroyed by Ling Chen, he chose to join the Heavenly Dragon Sect, seeking shelter from Zhu Hong and looking for a chance to rise again.

Chen Younian, Su Cheng’en, and Su He led the Netherworld Snake during the siege on Qiu Nanshan, continuously using drones for secret surveillance. They saw everything that happened atop the mountain. Seeing Dragon Tiger Hall dispatch so many experts shocked them. Although they knew Dragon Tiger Hall had immense power, they did not expect it to possess so many experts from the Heavenly List. If the Heavenly Dragon Sect fought head-on with Dragon Tiger Hall, they anticipated disastrous consequences.

However, their shock quickly turned to horror. Witnessing the strength displayed by Su Cheng’en and Chen Younian, they realized what it truly meant to be a frog in a well. The strength of those people had surpassed the Heavenly List, entering an unknown realm to them.

Upon hearing Qi Yong’s words, Zhu Hong said nothing and fell into contemplation. He had watched the videos captured by the drones, always considering himself at the same level as Ling Chen. But after watching the videos, he realized the other’s capabilities greatly exceeded his own. Thinking of this, he couldn’t help but glance at Chen Quan beside him, who had been his greatest support in recent times. But now... His confidence had begun to waver; compared to Chen Younian and others, Chen Quan’s abilities were insignificant.

Soul Stone... what exactly is that thing? He was deeply puzzled. On the mountain top at Qiu Nanshan, he saw Chen Younian reach into Ling Gengqiu’s body and extract a dark green stone from it. How could strange stones grow inside a person’s body? This was something he couldn’t comprehend. However, witnessing Chen Younian’s displayed madness, he knew the stone called ’Soul Stone’ was very unusual. At least for now, he wasn’t aware of its purpose.

"Mr. Zhu, do you recognize the few individuals who appeared in the video?"

Seeing Qi Yong ask again, Zhu Hong shook his head. Aside from one named Su He, he hadn’t encountered the others before. Their identities were identified through facial recognition software used by the technicians. But apart from their names, he knew nothing more. Additionally, these individuals were behind the assault on Dragon Tiger Hall, resulting in Ling Chen’s demise.

Qi Yong furrowed his brows slightly and said, "Mr. Zhu, pardon my bluntness, but since you don’t know anything about them, are you still going to take action? If you inadvertently provoke someone you shouldn’t, wouldn’t that cause trouble for us?"

"What, are you afraid?" Zhu Hong replied indifferently.

"I’m not afraid, but I don’t want to die unreasonably." Qi Yong said solemnly, "In short, before understanding their background, I do not recommend taking any action."

"Don’t worry, I’ll find out their background soon." Saying this, Zhu Hong picked up his phone to check the time, muttering to himself, "They should be arriving soon."

...

East Sea City.

It was already past two in the morning. Ling Chen was sleeping in his room, still recovering as the old priest had instructed him to rest more. As he dozed, a sudden knocking sound came from outside. Ling Chen rubbed his sleepy eyes, got up, and walked to the door. Opening it, he found Kaelina standing outside.

"Kaelina, what brings you here so late?" Ling Chen yawned and joked, "You wouldn’t be here to keep me company while I sleep, would you?"

"I wish, but do you have the courage?" Kaelina threw him a seductive wink.

Ahem! Ling Chen touched his nose, sheepishly smiling, "Just joking, no need to take it seriously." When it comes to being open, he admitted he was no match for Kaelina.

"Let’s cut the chatter, here’s the news." Kaelina spoke seriously, "Fatty Hu has received word that someone wants to talk to him."

"Who?"

"The other party is Zhu Hong’s people. They’ve actively contacted Fatty Hu, saying they want to negotiate, you’d better go have a look."

"Negotiate?" Ling Chen was taken aback. Negotiate about what? Since Zhu Hong was behind the scenes orchestrating, why didn’t he come directly to me? Kaelina seemed to read his thoughts and said, "Remember, to many people, you’re already considered dead."

Hearing this, Ling Chen couldn’t help but chuckle. He had almost forgotten about this. Dragon Tiger Hall was consumed by flames, and many believed he died in the fire, not knowing the old priest rescued him.

"Let’s go, have a look over at Fatty Hu’s place."

Soon, the two swiftly arrived at the base’s main control room. At this moment, Hu Fei was sitting at the computer with his phone, seemingly communicating with someone. Seeing Ling Chen approach, he gestured for the two to remain silent.

"Friend, I’ve understood your proposal clearly, but I can’t make decisions on my own. I need to discuss this with others. How about this, call back in ten minutes, and I’ll let you know the outcome, how does that sound?"

As Hu Fei finished his words, the other party probably agreed, hanging up directly.

"Fatty, what’s going on?"
