Chapter 806: Chapter 811: Seeking Revenge (1)


"Good evening, viewers. According to the latest reports, the incident that occurred yesterday in East Sea City has been resolved following further investigation by reporters. It is reported that billionaire Yang He was attacked by unidentified individuals while attending the ribbon-cutting ceremony of a branch office and was unfortunately captured with an unknown whereabouts. Later, the police received an anonymous tip-off, and dozens of police officers and special police were deployed to surround the kidnappers’ base. After half an hour of standoff, the kidnappers ultimately chose to surrender, and Yang He left the scene immediately upon being rescued."


"Based on investigations from various sources by reporters, the mastermind behind this kidnapping is named Ling Chen, a retired soldier currently working at the Hongyu Group, responsible for Nanrong Wanqing’s security. As for the grudges between Ling Chen and Yang He, and what drove him to do this, everything is still under investigation. Our station will continue to follow the progress of the case..."


Watching the news report, Nanrong Wanqing’s face turned extremely unpleasant.


"Alright, alright, I’ve already said there’s no time."


Beside her, Nanrong Hao impatiently shouted into his phone a couple of times, then hung up.


"What’s wrong?"


Upon hearing Sister’s inquiry, Nanrong Hao responded with a displeased face, "It’s still those reporters, all wanting to interview our Nanrong family and inquire about Chen’s matters." After speaking, Nanrong Hao noticed the worry on Nanrong Wanqing’s face and couldn’t help but comfort her, "Sister, you don’t need to worry too much. Chen is so capable, surely he won’t have any problems."


Nanrong Wanqing sighed and said, "You’re speaking lightly. I had someone inquire, Ling Chen isn’t in East Sea City right now; he was sent directly to Beijing after being captured yesterday, allegedly to be dealt with there. Just think, even those high officials from Beijing are alarmed, how could this matter end well?"


"This..." Nanrong Hao opened his mouth, not knowing what to say.


"Sister, then what do you think we should do?" Nanrong Hao was also a bit worried, afraid that Ling Chen might face trouble.


Nanrong Wanqing pondered for a while, then said, "Lin is coming back tomorrow, maybe... only she can help."


...


The next day.


Yan City Prison.


Ling Chen had just woken up when he heard a clang at the door of his cell.


Rubbing his sleepy eyes, Ling Chen looked up and saw a security guard tapping the iron bars with his stun baton, shouting, "Stop sleeping, get up quickly, it’s time for outdoor time." After speaking, the security guard specifically pointed at Ling Chen and said, "You come too."


Hearing this, Ling Chen’s lips curled slightly. Finally, it was his turn?


After a simple wash, Ling Chen followed Qin Genglong out of the cell, trailing the security guard closely. In a short while, the three arrived at a wide playground.


"You’re new here, don’t say I didn’t warn you, the best is to be honest here. If you dare cause trouble, don’t blame me for being rude." The security guard threw down a harsh word, then turned and went back.


At this moment, there were already dozens of people on the playground, gathered in groups, smoking and exercising, leisurely. Not only that, Ling Chen even spotted one or two young and beautiful girls accompanying a tattooed man, showing intimate gestures.


Seeing the appearance and dress of those two girls, they didn’t look like prisoners here.


Strange, why would this place allow women to come? Ling Chen was a bit puzzled, looking at Qin Genglong he asked, "What’s up with those women?"


Qin Genglong replied, "They are sent by the prison, specifically to serve those prisoners."


"Really?" Ling Chen said in surprise, "There are such good treatments inside the prison?"


"This treatment is good, but not everyone gets to enjoy it." Qin Genglong explained, "This prison is wholly managed by a private security company, the government never interferes. Many capable people are held in the prison; if they do nothing, it’s a waste of resources. So the prison management regularly selects a few people from the prison to help them with some private work. Anyone who successfully completes a task can make a request, women, drugs, almost anything except freedom."


Hearing this, Ling Chen frowned and asked, "Doesn’t the government know about this?"


"What can they do, even if they know? As long as some benefits are given, who is going to meddle for no reason? In Yan City Prison, this is already a public secret. If you have the skills, you can live here like heaven."


Ling Chen nodded, humorously quipping, "Your skills are so good, why not improve your living conditions?"


Qin Genglong shook his head, "I’m not interested in that, besides, do you think the business they’re doing is any good?"


While talking, a man led seven or eight subordinates from a distance. Meanwhile, more than ten people appeared behind Ling Chen. Looking at the leaders in front and behind, Ling Chen’s lips slightly curled up, gently shaking his head.


What should come will always come, these guys finally showed up.


"Ling Chen, long time no see." The speaker was a bald man, stout but not as tall as Qin Genglong, with a five-centimeter scar on his face, like a centipede, looking exceedingly sinister.


"Hmph! I thought I’d never see you in this life, but unexpectedly, fate brought you right before me." The bald man glared at Ling Chen with resentment, pointing to the scar on his cheek, "You should still remember this scar, all thanks to you."


Ling Chen’s expression remained unchanged, smiling as he looked at the bald man, "Huang Bai, haven’t seen you for a few years, you seem to be living quite well here."


Huang Bai was formerly a technical theft and murder criminal. His methods were extremely clever, and his most famous deed was consecutively stealing vaults from three banks in one night, totaling over two billion, killing ten security guards during the theft. Since then, he fled abroad, living a carefree life.


Later, Ling Chen was ordered by superiors, taking a week to locate Huang Bai’s whereabouts, then captured him back, holding him in Yan City Prison.


"Ling Chen, you truly have skills, even at this moment you can still laugh." Huang Bai said coldly.


"Why waste words with him, just kill him directly." A man behind spoke up.


Ling Chen turned back to glance at the opposite, smiling as he said, "Luo Yuan, you’re still alive."


Luo Yuan is the leader of an international crime syndicate, now also in his forties, full of viciousness. Before being caught, he orchestrated several major crimes worldwide, becoming an international fugitive, later fell into Ling Chen’s hands along with his organization being completely dismantled, the hatred between them ran deep.


"You’re not dead, why would I be dead. Ling Chen, you killed so many of my brothers back then, today I want you to pay with your life." Saying this, Luo Yuan waved his large hand, and the dozen subordinates behind him immediately surrounded Ling Chen, several secretly taking out daggers from their sleeves, step by step closing in on Ling Chen.
