Entering the underground secret base from the entrance, Ling Chen cautiously moved forward, observing the surroundings on both sides. After advancing over thirty meters, the gunfire grew louder, and hurried footsteps could be heard. Ling Chen gripped the handgun, the muzzle slightly raised, with sharp eyes scanning the various intersections within the base.


    Along the way, Ling Chen saw many corpses lying on the ground, all shot dead by bullets.


    Truly ruthless!


    Ling Chen murmured to himself. The fully armed team showed no intention of leaving any alive, killing them all. As Ling Chen ventured deeper, he discovered that the secret base was partitioned into many rooms, filled withputers and other equipment. With Ling Chen''s experience, this should be an information processing center, but it was unclear which organization it belonged to.


    At this moment, a series of footsteps approached rapidly from afar. Ling Chen''s heart jolted, and he quickly hid in a room, pressing against the wall. Soon, over twenty fully armed men appeared one after another, heading straight for the exit.


    Ling Chen peeked at them, watching the men gradually move away, and couldn''t help but rx. It seemed those people hadpleted their mission.


    Immediately, Ling Chen emerged from the room and quickly proceeded to the depths of the secret base. Before long, Ling Chen arrived at the main control center of the secret base. Looking around, the ground was covered with bodies, some possibly the base''s technical staff, others security personnel.


    A fierce shootout must have urred earlier, with bullet holes covering the walls andputer equipment. Ling Chen surveyed the surroundings and then approached an intactputer, opening the files inside. Upon seeing the contents of the files, Ling Chen''s expression changed slightly.


    Unexpectedly, this secret base was an asset of the God Organization.


    Interesting indeed!


    It''s unclear who those people were, daring to oppose the God Organization and even destroy the entire base.


    As Ling Chen pondered, a countdown appeared on theputer screen. A few secondster, all the data stored in theputer was deleted. It seemed that the base''s technical personnel activated the data deletion device in advance when under attack.


    Since the data was cleared, Ling Chen didn''t bother spending more time and headed straight outside. Nearing the exit, Ling Chen noticed a dozen or so cardboard boxes piled in the corner. He distinctly remembered those men in suits loading these boxes onto a car outside that vi. Thinking back, it must be these.


    Items valued by the God Organization are certainly not ordinary. With that thought, Ling Chen approached the boxes and opened one. Looking at the items inside, Ling Chen was momentarily stunned and reached in to pick up a photo frame.


    The frame contained a photo of an elderly couple, a man and a woman, with benevolent smiles on their aged faces.


    "Grandpa... Grandma..." Ling Chen murmured, his hands shaking lightly as he grasped the frame.


    The pictures of Yang Yan and Gong Meiling were in the information Hu Fei gave him, so Ling Chen recognized them at a nce. Setting down the frame, Ling Chen searched through the box, finding several more photographs—all were of his grandparents.


    Could it be... that vi housed his grandparents?<fn0af0> This text is hosted at f?ndnovel</fn0af0>


    The items in these boxes were all taken from that vi, so it must have been their residence.


    The God Organization must have sent people to his grandparents'' ce intending to capture them, Ling Chen spected. If not for that purpose, they wouldn''t have sent so many people there. However, the God Organization likely failed. Otherwise, they wouldn''t have brought these items to the base. They must be trying to find clues in these items to locate Yang Yan and Gong Meiling indirectly.


    No matter what, as long as his grandparents didn''t fall into the God Organization''s hands, Ling Chen could rest easy for the time being.


    Exiting the base, all the Mercedes-Benz business vehicles had left, only bodies and shell casings remained scattered around. ncing at the time, Ling Chen guessed the police would arrive soon. To avoid unnecessary trouble, he decided not to linger.


    Back in the car, Ling Chen looked at Ji Beizhao in the driver''s seat and asked, "Did you see which way those Mercedes-Benz business vehicles went?"


    Ji Beizhao pointed toward the road to the north, "That way, they left not long ago. You might catch up if you go now."


    "Let''s go, follow them."


    At this point, the God Organization''s trail waspletely cut off, and the people in those Mercedes-Benz business vehicles were thest clue, not to be missed.


    After a few minutes, those Mercedes-Benz business vehicles finally appeared in Ling Chen''s view.


    "Slow down, don''t let them notice," Ling Chen reminded.


    "I know."


    Over half an hourter, Ji Beizhao drove the car, tailing the Mercedes-Benz vehicles back to the city. Watching the vehicles enter an open-air parking lot, Ling Chen immediately had Ji Beizhao stop and got out to follow them alone.


    At this moment, the Mercedes-Benz business vehicles were parked next to each other, their windows closed, with no sign of movement inside.


    Ling Chen hid behind a car, observing quietly. About ten minutester, a BMW drove into the parking lot and stopped beside the Mercedes-Benz vehicles. The windows of both cars rolled down simultaneously.


    Ling Chen focused his gaze and was taken aback. To his surprise, the woman who had escapedst night was sitting inside the BMW.


    The people in the Mercedes-Benz vehicle handed a USB drive through the window to the woman, who took it, closed her window, and drove straight toward the parking lot exit.


    Seeing the woman about to leave, Ling Chen wasn''t going to let her escape so easily. It took significant effort to find her, he must capture her at all costs. Just as the BMW was about to exit the parking lot, Ling Chen quickly jumped out from behind the car, sprinted over, and cut off the BMW''s path in no time.


    Seeing Ling Chen suddenly appear, the woman inside the car was startled, and hastily mmed on the brakes. However, as she calmed down, she didn''t hesitate to press the gas pedal to the floor. In an instant, the BMW lurched forward, heading straight towards Ling Chen.


    As the BMW approached, Ling Chen stood still. When it was about to crash into him, he reached back with his right hand, quickly drawing a handgun, and aimed at the woman in the driver''s seat.


    Faced with the handgun in Ling Chen''s hand, the woman was shocked, immediately turning the steering wheel.
