<h4>Chapter 969: Chapter 976: Father and Son Reunited (Part 2)</h4>


    "The main base?" Ling Chen said in surprise, "Does the God Organization want to make East Sea City their headquarters?"


    "Exactly." Ling Kun replied, "East Sea City is a resource-rich city, and it is a coastal city. Even if a crisis urs, the God Organization can immediately escape to other countries via water, avoiding government pursuit. Besides, there is a very important reason for moving the headquarters domestically."


    "What reason?"


    Ling Kun said meaningfully, "Because ’it’ is in the country."


    "It?" Ling Chen asked, puzzled, "Dad, what do you mean by ’it’?"


    "It’s the key to everything. For now, you don’t need to know so much. When the time is right, I’ll naturally tell you." After a pause, Ling Kun changed the subject, "Last night I had a confrontation with Chen Quan. The man’s strength is not to be underestimated. Although I forced him to retreat, I couldn’t capture him. You need to be more careful in the future. I can’t be there to protect you all the time. Also, you need to find time to rescue your group of friends."


    "I’d like to, but the problem is I still don’t know their whereabouts."


    "Don’t worry. There will be news by tonight at thetest. When I came to East Sea City, I had my apprentice secretly transfer the resources of the Secret Society to East Sea City. She is currently investigating the whereabouts of your friends. If there is any news, she will contact you immediately."


    Upon hearing this, Ling Chen asked, "Dad, are you leaving?"


    Ling Kun nodded and said, "I’ve been in aa for so long, and there are many things to deal with. I can’t stay in East Sea City all the time. But rest assured, I’lle back to help you once things are settled. Oh, I almost forgot, your master... Su He, he asked me to pass a message to you. When you have time, go visit him. He has something to discuss with you."


    "Dad, Elder Su isn’t really my master, you shouldn’t call him that in front of him..."


    "What do you mean he’s not your master?" Ling Kun reprimanded, "Elder Su has taught you all his Absolute Skills. Even without the title of master and apprentice, you already have the essence of that rtionship. For someone who practices martial arts, you should treat him like your master and not show any disrespect. Do you understand?"


    Scolded by his father, Ling Chen touched his nose and nodded slightly, "Got it, Dad."


    "Alright, I’ve said what needs to be said, I have things to attend to, so I’m leaving first."


    "Dad, be careful out there."


    "Don’t worry, I don’t need you to worry about me." With that, Ling Kun waved his hand and walked straight out of the hospital.


    Watching Ling Kun’s figure fade into the distance, a wave of warmth surged in Ling Chen’s heart. After so many years, he finally felt his father’s care. If Mom and Dad were both together, their family would beplete.


    Thinking of this, Ling Chen’s expression changed slightly, and he couldn’t help but pat his forehead.


    He had forgotten to tell his dad about Mom when they met just now. Sigh, it’s his fault for being too busy with Qiu Yong’s affairs and forgetting such an important matter.


    It shouldn’t have happened, it really shouldn’t have happened.

    Oh well! Dad has probably gone far. I’ll tell him about Mom next time we meet.


    Returning to the hospital, Ling Chen went alone to the ward, where he saw Xu Ming and others gathered around the bedside, waiting for Qiu Yong to wake up.


    "Second Brother, everyone is really tired. There’s no need for so many people to stay in the hospital. In my opinion, just leave one or two, and let the others go back to rest," Ling Chen suggested, "Although you were rescued, some people are still missing, and we need to conserve our energy and find a way to rescue them too."


    "You’re right," Xu Ming agreed, "Let’s all go back and rest, and leave Fifth Sister and Eighth Brother to look after Eldest Brother."


    "Alright."


    After the decision was made, Ling Chen left Xia Yue and Wei Jiahao in the hospital, and took Xu Ming and others back to the Siheyuan.


    Night fell.


    Seeing that there was nothing urgent, Ling Chen took the opportunity to return to Wealthy Manor. After meeting his dad today, he had to inform Yang Qingling to put her at ease.


    Halfway through the drive, Ling Chen suddenly received a call from an unknown number.


    When the call connected, a familiar voice immediately came through, "Ling Chen, congrattions."


    Hearing the voice, Ling Chen’s eyes narrowed sharply, and he replied, "Lin Guodong, what do you want?"


    "Nothing much, just calling to congratte you on rescuing your friends from Chen Quan’s grasp. I heard that a master from the Heavenly List helped you escapest night. If you don’t mind, could you reveal your helper’s identity?"


    "Lin Guodong, do you think that’s possible?"


    "Ling Chen, if you still care about your other friends’ safety, you’d better share some information. Don’t forget, even though you’ve rescued some, I still have over thirty people. Do you want to receive their corpses?"


    "Are you threatening me?" Ling Chen frowned and said in a deep voice, "Lin Guodong, you better not harm them, otherwise, I won’t let you get away with it."


    "Rest assured, even if you let me go, I won’t let you off. Anyway, time’s up, my task isplete. Ling Chen, take care of yourself."


    Listening to the busy tone on the other end, Ling Chen suspiciously put down the phone, filled with confusion.


    Strange!


    Lin Guodong called out of the blue, was it just to waste time with me?


    Bam!


    Just as he was thinking this, Ling Chen suddenly heard a loud noise, and simultaneously, the car shook violently as the rear window shattered instantly.


    The sudden change shocked Ling Chen, who was in the driver’s seat. Looking at the left rearview mirror, he frowned, only to see a Land Rover SUV tailing the Audi. The crash just now had deformed the Audi’s rear end.


    Damn!


    Ling Chen cursed under his breath. At this moment, he finally understood Lin Guodong’s intention in calling. It was undoubtedly to track his location through mobile phone positioning.


    Without time to think, Ling Chen floored the elerator, and the Audi surged forward like an arrow. In no time, the Land Rover was left behind by the speeding Audi.


    Fortunately, Nanrong Hao’s Audi had excellent performance, with rapid eleration that the Land Rover couldn’t match.


    Speeding all the way, the Land Rover gradually shrank in the rearview mirror, growing further and further away.


    Although he had shaken off the Land Rover, Ling Chen didn’t rx at all. He knew well that Lin Guodong wouldn’t stop at this to do him harm.


    As he pondered, two Mercedes-Benz sedans suddenly rushed out of the intersection ahead, blocking Ling Chen’s path.


    Seeing this, Ling Chen turned the steering wheel, eyes fixed straight ahead, trying to pass through the gap between the two cars.
