<h4>Chapter 957: Chapter 963: Danger Is Safety</h4>


    Dialing the number provided by Ling Tao, it wasn’t long before the call was connected. Before Ling Chen could speak, a maic voice came through from the other end: "Is it Mr. Ling? Hello, I know everything about your situation, and I will do my best to help you."


    "Thank you!" Ling Chen asked, "Do you know how to find those people abducted by Lin Guodong?"


    "Those people Lin Guodong captured are detained near the research base. As long as you’re careful enough, you are sure to discover their hideout. However, I advise you to proceed cautiously, make sure they don’t notice you. Otherwise, I can’t guarantee they won’t harm your friends."


    "Understood, I..."


    "I’ve said all I need to say, Mr. Ling, take care." Before Ling Chen could finish, the other party jumped in and abruptly hung up the call.


    Setting down the cell phone, recollecting the man’s words, Ling Chen’s lips curled upwards, his eyes gleaming with insight. No wonder he couldn’t find Lin Guodong’s whereabouts—turns out the guy was hiding around the research base.


    As the saying goes, the most dangerous ce is the safest location; no one would expect that after destroying the research base, Lin Guodong didn’t go far but quietly hid nearby.


    "Fatty, let’s go, to the research base."


    Half an hourter, the car pulled up alongside the street across from the research base. It was already three in the morning, the night deep and quiet, the streets deserted, not a soul in sight.


    Ling Chen sat in the passenger seat, his eyes scanning the surrounding buildings, searching for suspicious targets.


    However, the surroundings were all storefronts, and few office buildings. He couldn’t tell where Lin Guodong and his men might be hiding.


    At this moment, Hu Fei took out a notebook, connected to the inte, and his fingers flew across the keyboard. Watching Hu Fei’s actions, Wei Jiahao curiously asked, "Hu, what are you doing?"


    Hu Fei opened one document after another, browsing the information as he replied, "This area was under urban nning, and each building had structural diagrams before they were constructed. By regtion, these building structure diagrams are archived. I only have to ess the main server of the government construction bureau to retrieve these documents and find the structure diagrams of the nearby area."


    After a pause, Hu Fei continued, "To imprison so many people, Lin Guodong must need a fairlyrge space. This street area is mostly storefronts, it’s impossible to hide so many people here. But because they are storefronts, some of therger ones have their own goods warehouses. These warehouses are generally behind the storefronts. Based on the size of these warehouses, we can filter out those that might hold prisoners."


    Hearing Hu Fei’s exnation, Wei Jiahao couldn’t help but praise, "Hu, you are really amazing."


    "Stop ttering him, this kind of person can’t stand praise," Ling Chen unceremoniously retorted.


    Hu Fei replied grumpily, "What’s wrong with Jiahao admiring me? Aren’t you being too much?"


    Listening to the trio’s bickering, Kaelina rubbed her brows, reluctantly interjected, "Enough with the noise, quiet down, do you even remember why we’re here? Do you still want to save people?"


    After Kaelina reprimanded them, the three men in the car immediately shut their mouths and obediently sat in their seats, leaving only the ongoing tter of keyboard tapping. Roughly four minutester, Hu Fei brightened at the screen and said, "Found it."


    Immediately, Ling Chen and the others leaned their heads in closer.


    "There are four warehouses that meet the criteria, all within two hundred meters nearby."

    "Alright, send me the locations, I’ll go check them out first." With that, Ling Chen instructed worriedly, "Kaelina, ensure their safety."


    "Don’t worry, with me here, they’ll be fine."


    Stepping out of the car, Ling Chen followed the location provided by Hu Fei, swiftly heading towards the southern street. Before long, a warehouse located behind a storefront appeared in Ling Chen’s view.


    Gazing at the nearby warehouse, Ling Chen stealthily approached, his sharp eyes sweeping the surroundings to prevent the presence of Dark Posts. If Lin Guodong was truly hiding here, he surely would have deployedyers of defense outside.


    Lost in thought, a faint sound suddenly reached Ling Chen’s ears. Instantly, Ling Chen halted, scanning the vicinity. Several seconds passed, that faint sound appeared again. This time, Ling Chen finally confirmed the source of the sound. Based on his experience, it seemed to be the sound of breathing.


    It seemed like his assumptions were correct; there was indeed a Dark Post nearby.


    Since entering, it was unclear if that Dark Post had discovered him yet. Lost in his thoughts, Ling Chen moved slowly, leaning against the wall, creeping towards the direction of the breathing sound.


    Before long, Ling Chen gradually moved beside a pile of sundries. At this point, the sound of breathing became even clearer.


    Without hesitation, Ling Chen lightly tapped the ground with his toes and leaped directly over the stack of sundries. In the moment of ascent, Ling Chen nced down, only to see a person crouched behind the pile.


    Noticing Ling Chen’s presence above him, the person immediately stood up, ready to call for help with a walkie-talkie. However, Ling Chen’s reaction was faster. Before the person could utter a sound, Ling Chen flicked his wrist, and a stone he had just picked up from the ground shot out like electricity, urately hitting the man’s brow.


    Then, there was a dull groan as the man slumped lifelessly to the ground.


    Approaching the man, Ling Chen examined him, uncovering a dagger, a signal gun, and a wireless walkie-talkie.


    Picking up the fallen walkie-talkie, Ling Chen opened the channel and mmed it hard against the wall. Instantly, the sound of static rang out continuously not far away.


    One... Three... Six!


    Ling Chen silently counted, his lips curling into a cold smile.


    Six Dark Posts remaining.


    Now aware of the positions of those six Dark Posts, the subsequent task for Ling Chen became undoubtedly easy. Within two minutes, all six Dark Posts were silently eliminated by Ling Chen.


    Given that so many Dark Posts were stationed here, it’s certain that the people Lin Guodong captured are detained in this warehouse.


    The warehouse is massive, covering several hundred square meters. Its exterior walls are quite tall, roughly four meters high, with windows at the top, about three meters high.


    Ling Chen gazed up at the windows, seeing only darkness with not a hint of light.


    Strange!


    Had everyone inside left already? Why weren’t there any lights on?


    With uncertainty, Ling Chen used both hands and feet to swiftly climb up the smooth wall.
