<h4>Chapter 950: Chapter 956: Metal Combination Lockbox</h4>
In less than half an hour, Ling Chen arrived by car on the central avenue of the Central District. Checking the time, Ling Chen got out of the car, leaned against the car door, and surveyed the surroundings.
It was just nine o’clock in the morning, the street bustling with people walking to and fro, shoulder to shoulder and packed with heads. This was the Central District of East Sea City, the most prosperous area of the district, with towering buildings everywhere.
The half-hour that Lin Guodong had agreed upon had already passed, yet he still hadn’t called. Ling Chen parked the car and grabbed a coffee from a cafe by the roadside, and also bought two egg pancakes.
Early in the morning, he was busy checking the news online and hadn’t had breakfast yet. He wasn’t sure what Lin Guodong would ask him to doter, but he decided to fill his stomach first.
With the two egg pancakes down, it was already nine forty. Ling Chen fiddled with his phone, his brow slightly furrowed. Lin Guodong had clearly said he’d contact him once he arrived. Yet, so much time had passed and the phone remained silent.
"Could that bastard be messing with me?"
Ling Chen thought to himself. Just then, he spotted a car convoy slowly approaching not far away, maintaining a speed of sixty kilometers per hour as it proceeded along the road.
When the convoy passed by, Ling Chen paid extra attention. The convoy had a total of six cars, with the front two and back two being escort cars carrying security personnel, while the middle two were vehicles for VIPs.
The two Rolls-Royces in the center had reflective ss windows, making it impossible to see inside.
However, the convoy’s configuration suggested that someone wealthy was inside. If they were government officials, there would definitely be a police escort. At this moment, the convoy continued along the street, gradually slowing down.
Because this was a busy urban area, the most bustling part, with a lot of pedestrians and traffic, the convoy had to stop waiting for the road ahead to clear.
Suddenly, Ling Chen’s phone rang.
Taking out his phone and seeing the caller ID, Ling Chen raised his eyebrows, seemingly guessing something, and immediately answered the call.
"Ling Chen, do you see those cars in front of you? That’s your target for today."
"Who are the people in the car?"
"You don’t need to know. Don’t worry, I’m not asking you to kill anyone, just want you to help me seize an item. ording to the information we have, someone in the car is carrying a metal briefcase. I don’t care what method you use. In any case, you must get that metal briefcase." With that, Lin Guodong directly hung up.
Putting away his phone, Ling Chen sighed helplessly. It was exactly as he had guessed, Lin Guodong’s request was precisely what he expected. But thankfully, Lin Guodong wasn’t asking him to kill anyone. Otherwise, he’d have no idea what to do.
Metal briefcase!
Ling Chen squinted his eyes, staring at the two Rolls-Royces not far away, secretly calcting how to proceed.
Right now, he didn’t know who was in the car, nor was he sure in which of the Rolls-Royces the metal briefcase was located. Moreover, he waspletely unfamiliar with the security details of the convoy, which undoubtedly increased his risk.
As his thoughts raced, the people and traffic blocking the convoy gradually thinned, and the convoy’s speed began to increase.
Watching the convoy getting further away, Ling Chen didn’t have much time to think; if he missed this opportunity, who knows when he’d get another chance to act. As his thoughts raced, Ling Chen moved his legs and quickly sprinted towards those cars.
Soon, Ling Chen had caught up and positioned himself in front of the two Rolls-Royces.
Swish!
With a swish, Ling Chen’s wrist flicked, and the coffee cup in his hand flew out abruptly, smashing onto the windshield of the Rolls-Royce in front.
Unfortunately, if it were a regr windshield, Ling Chen might have been able to shatter it with his skill and the coffee cup. But the Rolls-Royce used bulletproof ss, leaving him with no option.
The coffee cup shattered on the windshield, spraying coffee all over both sides, obstructing the driver’s view. Seeing this, Ling Chen didn’t wait for the driver to clean the windshield, and swiftly rushed towards that Rolls-Royce.
In the blink of an eye, Ling Chen was up close.
Steeling his fists, Ling Chen gritted his teeth and gathered Hua Realm strength. With a ’ng’, the ss on the car’s passenger door shattered instantly. Breaking the ss, Ling Chen thrust both hands inside, forcefully dragging out the suited man in the passenger seat and tossing him on the ground. By this time, the Rolls-Royce driver finally reacted, hurriedly stepping on the brake and trying to elerate forward to escape Ling Chen.
However, the street was crowded, the road congested, with vehicles ahead blocked, moving at a snail’s pace. Thus, as soon as the driver elerated, the Rolls-Royce bumped into the rear of the car in front with a loud ’bang’. In an instant, the Rolls-Royce’s hood emitted thick smoke.
Seeing the car stop, Ling Chen smiled secretly. Lucky enough! As his thoughts raced, Ling Chen peered into the car, searching for the metal briefcase. However, inside the Rolls-Royce were two middle-aged men, and there was no sign of a metal briefcase.

Could it be in the other car?
Upon this thought, Ling Chen prepared to move towards the other Rolls-Royce. But just as he took a step, the Rolls-Royce’s rear door suddenly opened, blocking his path. Following this, the two middle-aged men in the back seats stepped out, gazing at Ling Chen calmly.
These two people... Feeling their gaze, Ling Chen suddenly felt a strong sense of crisis.
The two middle-aged men in front appeared harmless, their eyes as tranquil as an ancient well, showing no emotion.
Yet the more this was the case, the more it indicated that these two middle-aged men were far from simple.
"Gentlemen, could you please make way?" Ling Chen took the initiative to speak.
"Friend, for an Earthly List master to perform such a robbery, it’s an undeserving act for your status," one middle-aged man said. "Seeing that we’re all peers from the Martial Arts world, as long as you stop now, we won’t make things difficult for you."
Ling Chen thought for a moment and asked, "Can you tell me who is sitting in the car behind?"
The two middle-aged men nced at each other and spoke lightly, "It’s better if you don’t know."
"Is that so?" Ling Chen looked at the two with an enigmatic smile. Their words only fueled his curiosity more. Who could be so mysterious that even their identity must remain hidden?
"What about you two?" Ling Chen changed the topic and asked, "Surely your identities aren’t as secretive, are they?"
