<h4>Chapter 954: Chapter 960: Theft (2)</h4>
Ling Chen’s n this time was very clear, stealthily obtain the metal briefcase and then slip away quietly.
When he was a spy before, he had done this type of thing many times. Having not done it for a long time, he wondered if he would be rusty.
Unknowingly, it was already midnight. Ling Chen stood in front of the ss window, waiting quietly. At about one o’clock in the morning, Kaelina came over from the side and said, "It’s about time, the lights upstairs are all out except for a few security personnel in the corridor."
Ling Chen nodded, walked into the bedroom alone, and changed into ck clothes to better disguise his identity.
With everything prepared, Ling Chen took the crossbow handed to him by Wei Jiahao and climbed out of the window. Pressing against the outer ss, Ling Chen raised his head to inspect the environment above, then lifted the crossbow in his hand, aimed at the target, and gently pressed the trigger.
Whoosh!
The sound of something cutting through the air was heard, and an arrow carrying a rope shot out directly, hooking onto the railing at the edge of the rooftop.
He pulled the rope to ensure it was securely fixed before Ling Chen held the rope with both hands and slowly climbed upward. Before long, he reached the outer window of the thirty-third floor.
At this moment, the entire thirty-third floor waspletely unlit, pitch ck, unable to see anything.
Ling Chen put on the night vision goggles he prepared beforehand, looked through the ss window, and upon seeing no one behind it, steadied himself and began to dismantle the ss.
High-altitude work is very strenuous, and Ling Chen exerted quite a bit of effort to remove the entire ss without leaving a trace.
After finally dismantling the ss, Ling Chen cautiously entered the room and checked its surroundings. Seeing no one living in the room, he rxed a bit.
This wasn’t just a matter of luck. Luxury suites have the sameyout, and after checking into his room, Ling Chen made detailed observations of each room and entertainment area. Thus, he specifically chose to enter through the suite’s bar, as it should be unupied at such ate hour.
Wearing night vision goggles, Ling Chen gently opened the bar’s sliding door and cautiously looked outside. The bar was connected to the main living room, which was about one hundred square meters, very spacious. At this moment, several security personnel were sleeping on the living room sofa.
Judging by their snores, they had all fallen asleep.
Avoiding the sleeping security personnel, Ling Chen went straight to the suite’s master bedroom. The metal briefcase would definitely be in the hands of the owner. Moreover, as far as he knew, the master bedroom had a safe designed for storing guests’ valuables.
If he were carrying a metal briefcase, it would definitely be ced there.
Soon enough, Ling Chen arrived silently at the entrance of the master bedroom. Standing outside the door, he listened attentively. Then, he grasped the doorknob, gently twisted it, and slowly pushed the door open.
With the night vision goggles on, Ling Chen could see clearly even in the pitch-dark room.
There was a person lying on the bed in the master bedroom, but due to the nket covering them, their appearance was not visible.
Seeing no signs of the person waking up, Ling Chen quickly moved to where the safe was located in the master bedroom. The safe’sbination had been reset; however, this posed no problem for Ling Chen. During his time with the Ghosts, he had opened numerous safes.
In less than two minutes, with a light ’click’, Ling Chen easily unlocked the safe.
Looking at the metal briefcase stored inside the safe, Ling Chen’s eyes lit up, and his lips curled up involuntarily.
His guess was correct; the metal briefcase was indeed kept in the safe. Without a moment’s hesitation, Ling Chen quickly pulled the metal briefcase out of the safe.
Afterward, he quietly closed the safe and carefully retreated from the master bedroom. Throughout the process, the person lying on the bed remained unresponsive.
Too easy!
Feeling the weight of the metal briefcase in his arms, Ling Chen secretly rejoiced. He thought it would take much longer to aplish, but it waspleted much quicker than expected.
Returning along the original path to the bar, Ling Chen stood before the dismantled ss, preparing to secure the briefcase with a rope for Kaelina to catch from below.
As Ling Chen was busy securing the metal briefcase, an unsettling feeling suddenly crept over him, as if he was being watched, giving him a chill down his spine.
Always intuitive, Ling Chen quickly turned around, but before he could see what was behind him, a blinding light suddenly blocked his view. Instantly, Ling Chen raised his arm to shield his eyes. Following that, he removed the night vision goggles from his head.
Once he removed the goggles, his vision quickly returned. Lights in the bar turned on brightly, revealing two familiar middle-aged men standing on either side of him, those seen earlier in the day.
Under their gaze, Ling Chen awkwardly touched his nose and sighed inwardly. He had hoped toplete the mission easily but ended up being caught red-handed.
"We meet again," Ling Chen greeted proactively. As he spoke, his eyes asionally darted around, looking for an escape route.

"I warned you not to target us, so why didn’t you listen?" one middle-aged man said.
Ling Chen shrugged and said helplessly, "Sorry, I have my own reasons. If possible, I don’t want to oppose you."
"Put it down, and I might give you another chance at life."
Looking at the metal briefcase in his arms, Ling Chen hesitated. After pondering for a moment, Ling Chen replied with a bitter smile, "I’m sorry, gentlemen, I can’t hand it over to you because it’s tied to several lives; I must take it with me."
"So you are forcing us to take action? Ling Chen, don’t say I didn’t warn you, you are not our match. Once we strike, you will surely fail, so I advise you to think clearly."
Upon hearing his name being called directly, Ling Chen’s expression subtly changed. He asked in surprise, "You know me?"
"Yes." The middle-aged man nodded lightly.
"Who exactly are you?" Ling Chen was curious. He had never met them, yet they knew him—was he that famous?
"I told you, you don’t need to know who we are. You only need to know we are not people you can provoke. Now, put it down." As one spoke, the two middle-aged men stepped forward.
Seeing their actions, Ling Chen nced around and swiftly reached back with his right hand. Suddenly, an object appeared in his palm.
"Gentlemen, my apologies!"
As his words fell, Ling Chen bit the shbang’s pin and hurled it towards the ground.
