Chapter 797: Chapter 802: The Hijacking Operation (1)
Last night, Ling Chen spent the whole night looking up information online, all related to Yang He, including several video records.
In those videos, Yang He always rode in this car, without ever changing vehicles. But this time, for the ribbon-cutting ceremony, he had arrived in a BMW sedan, not in his usual car. Moreover, the person sitting in that Mercedes wore a hat and deliberately covered their face when getting out of the car. It was clear that Yang He had made these arrangements to prevent assassination attempts.
If someone were to harm the elderly man getting out of the Mercedes at that moment, Yang He would surely escape immediately in the BMW sedan.
Yang He suddenly becoming so cautious must be for a complex reason, perhaps he already knew of a threat against him and thus took precautions in advance.
Thinking of this, Ling Chen couldn’t help but start worrying about Liu Dongsheng. He then stepped out of the crowd and took out his phone to make a call to Hu Fei.
The call connected, and Ling Chen asked, "Fatty, try reaching Liu Dongsheng and tell him to hold off on any actions for now. I’ve just scoped out the situation, and Yang He might be on guard, I’m afraid he might set a trap. For Liu Dongsheng’s safety, it’s best to cancel the operation and find another opportunity to strike."
"Alright, you wait, I’ll contact him."
However, not long after hanging up, Hu Fei called back.
"Hello! Ling Chen, his phone is off, I can’t reach him, what do we do now?" Hu Fei’s tone was tinged with urgency.
Ling Chen inwardly cursed the situation. He should have thought of this earlier; Liu Dongsheng would definitely switch off his phone before taking action to avoid mistakes during the operation. He never carried a phone during past deployments.
Looking at the dense crowd surrounding him, Ling Chen didn’t know what to do. With so many people around, who knew where Liu Dongsheng was hiding. With his extensive experience, if he didn’t show himself intentionally, it would likely be impossible for anyone to spot him.
In a flash of thought, Ling Chen made up his mind.
"Fatty, get Kaelina to come over immediately," and after a pause, he added, "Right, tell her to bring all her equipment."
"Got it."
After ending the call, Ling Chen turned to look at Nanrong Wanqing among the VIPs. At that moment, Nanrong Wanqing stood quietly to the side, her face expressionless, out of place amidst the surrounding laughter and chatter. Hesitating for a moment, Ling Chen picked up his phone and dialed Nanrong Wanqing’s number.
Once Liu Dongsheng made his move, it would inevitably cause chaos among the crowd. It was better to give Nanrong Wanqing a heads-up to prevent anything from happening to her.
The call went through, and Ling Chen’s gaze pierced through the layers of people, watching Nanrong Wanqing who was not far away. She took out her phone, glanced at the screen, then hung up directly.
Listening to the system prompt tone from the phone, Ling Chen gave a wry smile. After a day, the girl was still as fiery as ever.
He dialed again, but Nanrong Wanqing still hung up on him. By the next try, the system already indicated that her phone was turned off.
Sigh!
With a helpless shake of his head, Ling Chen decided to let it be. It was okay! He would just pay more attention to Nanrong Wanqing later.
At this moment, surrounded by a crowd of guests, Yang He brought the young and beautiful girl, chatting and laughing, walking along the red carpet towards the office building. At the same time, a lively sound of gongs and drums came from outside the crowd. Ling Chen turned his head to look, and saw a lion dance troupe and a drum team, making a joyful ruckus as they approached.
Tsk tsk! Quite the grand display, even hiring a lion dance troupe. It makes sense, though, given Yang He’s advanced age; these old folks love to celebrate with these traditional methods. As the two lions from the lion dance troupe hopped and weaved through the crowd, the attention of the onlookers was captivated by their spectacular performance.
At that point, the two lions, carrying a pair of couplets in their mouths and stepping on stilts, jumped higher and higher. When they reached the highest point, they relaxed their jaws and the bright red couplets immediately fell down. The performance reached its climax, and the sounds of the gongs and drums grew louder.
Just as everyone was in high spirits, one of the lions standing on a high stilt suddenly leaped down, charging directly towards Yang He, who wasn’t far away.
Seeing this, the security guards who had been stationed close to Yang He immediately stepped forward, forming a human wall, ready to intercept the lion. However, just as the lion was about to rush close, it suddenly leaped upwards; performing a flip in midair, it unexpectedly jumped right over the heads of the security guards.
By the time the crowd realized what was happening, the lion had already closed in on Yang He.
"Mr. Yang!"
Seeing this scene, everyone present was shocked, their voices rising in alarm.
Bang!
Suddenly, a long leg kicked out from nowhere, striking hard on the lion’s head. In an instant, the lion’s head was sent flying, and the person who had been hidden inside the lion was finally revealed.
Ling Chen fixed his gaze, and his tense expression relaxed slightly. Thankfully, the person’s face was covered with a mask, hiding their features so that no one could recognize them. However, judging by the person’s physique and the speed at which they struck, it was clearly Liu Dongsheng.
It was unexpected that he would hide inside the lion. Unfortunately, if it hadn’t been for that big leg that shot out unexpectedly, Liu Dongsheng’s attack would likely have succeeded. With his skills, it would have been easy for Liu Dongsheng to escape in the chaos, should he manage to take down Yang He.
The old fox Yang He was indeed well-prepared.
Ling Chen frowned slightly and kept his eyes closely on the beautiful woman next to Yang He. The person who had lashed out was none other than the young woman. Initially thought to be just a pretty vase, she turned out to be skilled, managing to thwart Liu Dongsheng’s ambush.
At this moment, the surrounding security personnel had all reacted, rapidly rushing towards Liu Dongsheng, surrounding him tightly, leaving no way out.
"Who are you, daring to harm Elder Yang? I advise you to surrender quietly, don’t resist needlessly," a security officer called out coldly.
Liu Dongsheng scanned the security guards around him, his eyes brimming with a chilling intent to kill.
After a few seconds of standoff, Liu Dongsheng suddenly leaned forward and charged straight towards the nearest security guard. In the blink of an eye, he was upon the guard. Before the guard could react, Liu Dongsheng’s fist had already smashed out, instantly sending the guard flying.
As Liu Dongsheng broke out of the encirclement, the crowd immediately shouted.
"Quick, don’t let him get away!"
"Escort Elder Yang out of here immediately!"
Amid the shouting, several security guards surrounded Yang He, pressing down on his head, and swiftly retreated.
