Chapter 937: Chapter 942: Ren Qing (3)
Seeing the two of them approaching, Ren Qing’s face changed involuntarily. She quickly walked over and said coldly, "Ling Chen, what are you doing? Don’t you know you’re not allowed to bring outsiders in here?"
Ling Chen replied indifferently, "I know, but Miss Ren, I’m the one in charge here now. I can bring whoever I want. If you have any objections, feel free to complain to Mr. Zhang." With that, Ling Chen couldn’t be bothered to engage further, and he directly supported Hu Fei into the office.
Watching the office door close, Ren Qing felt a surge of anger. She gritted her teeth, pulled out her phone from her pocket, and dialed Mr. Zhang’s number.
However, after saying just a few words, Ren Qing threw the phone on the ground in frustration and stomped on it a couple of times to vent her dissatisfaction.
Inside the office, Ling Chen was oblivious to what had happened outside. He helped Hu Fei sit on the bed comfortably and then moved the computer onto the bed for Hu Fei to work.
"Buddy, I can’t find anyone else to help right now, so I’ll have to trouble you for a bit."
"No big deal, it’s fine. Just make sure there’s good food and accommodation," Hu Fei said as he opened the computer and asked, "Hey! What’s with that woman outside? She seemed quite unhappy with you."
"You mean that chick? Ignore her, she’s just a self-righteous woman. I wanted to work with her, but she looked down on me, refused to cooperate. There’s nothing I can do; I don’t know much about computers, so I had to bring you in."
"You too. If she doesn’t want to work with you, why stay here?"
Ling Chen shrugged and said, "Do you think I want to? I have no choice. The base was destroyed, people were captured, we have almost no manpower or resources. Staying here at least gives us enough resources to use."
At this point, Ling Chen’s tone became serious, "Buddy, no joking now, let’s be serious. During last night’s explosion, only you and Yang Chen were there. You must know more about the situation than others. I’ve made a secret agreement with the government; they’ll provide us with all the resources we need to find Boss Tang’s whereabouts. But right now, it’s just the two of us, so you gather intelligence and clues while I handle the actions. The sooner we find them, the sooner we can be at ease."
"Alright! Just wait, I’ll start working right away." With that, Hu Fei focused intently on the computer screen, diving into his work.
As Ling Chen walked out of the office, planning to make some tea, he saw Ren Qing approaching, blocking his path.
"Ling Chen."
"Miss Ren, you need something from me?"
"The person you brought just now, is his name Hu Fei?" Ren Qing questioned, "I checked the records, and Hu Fei was at the scene during the explosion at the base last night. He was later discovered by the local police and sent to the hospital for rescue. As an eyewitness, I need to talk to him to understand the situation at that time."
"Miss Ren, I’ve asked him everything I needed. He was knocked unconscious by the blast and doesn’t know what happened on the scene, so you’ll get nothing from him. There’s no need to waste your time on him."
Upon hearing this, Ren Qing frowned and said, "You couldn’t get anything because you’re incapable. Ling Chen, this is a serious matter, and you better cooperate with my work."
"Cooperate?" Ling Chen looked at Ren Qing with a half-smile, "Miss Ren, who’s cooperating with whom here? I sincerely wanted to work with you, but you keep pushing me out. So why should I cooperate with you?" With that, Ling Chen disinterestedly moved towards the break room.
"Ling Chen!" Ren Qing said angrily, "If you refuse to cooperate with my work, don’t blame me for being impolite. Guards!"
As soon as she finished speaking, several men in suits responsible for command center security rushed over immediately.
"Miss Ren, what do you need?"
"Take the person inside the office out, I want to interrogate him thoroughly."
"Yes."
The men in suits responded and prepared to enter. Seeing their move, Ling Chen coldly shouted, "Stop right there!"
As he spoke, Ling Chen dashed forward and stood in front of the office door, coldly eying the men in suits. From their demeanor and bearing, it was clear they were not ordinary security personnel, but rather troops trained in special operations.
"Sir, please cooperate with our work," one of the suits spoke.
Ling Chen pretended not to hear, keeping his hands in his pockets, and said, "This office is my territory. Without my permission, no one is allowed in." While saying this, Ling Chen fixed his gaze on Ren Qing, with a hint of coldness.
"Your territory?" Ren Qing sneered and said, "Fine, then I’ll show you whose territory this really is. Take him down!"
Upon Ren Qing’s order, without hesitation, one of the suits moved with a capture technique straight for Ling Chen’s shoulder, intending to slam him to the ground. But before his hand even touched Ling Chen, he felt a force fiercely approaching.
In an instant, he felt light, his feet left the ground, and he flew back, landing on a desk behind him.
Bang!
With a loud crash, the solid wood desk shattered into pieces, and the computer and documents on it scattered everywhere.
Seeing Ling Chen easily take down one of their colleagues, the others immediately stopped, each looking at Ling Chen with grave expressions.
"That was just a warning. Anyone else who dares to make a move on me won’t be treated kindly."
"Get him!" Ren Qing said coldly, "There are so many of you; are you really afraid of just one person?"
Being soldiers, execution of orders is paramount. As soon as Ren Qing finished speaking, the men in suits charged all together at Ling Chen.
Bam! Bam! Bam!
Before the suits could reach him, everyone saw shadows flitting before them. Immediately after, a series of loud crashes echoed. When they focused, they saw the men in suits all flew back, crashing heavily onto office desks.
Having dealt with the minor hassle, Ling Chen swept his gaze over the surprised crowd, and said casually, "Anyone else want to give it a shot?"
After he spoke, seeing no response from the crowd, Ling Chen smiled slightly and said to Ren Qing, "Miss Ren, you’re so capable, why don’t you give it a go? See if I have the authority to decide on your territory."
"You..." Ren Qing’s face flushed with anger.
"Shut up!" Before Ren Qing could finish, Ling Chen’s playful smile disappeared, and he said coldly, "I warn you, this office is my territory, and I’m the only one in charge here. If you’re looking for trouble, try stepping inside."
