<h4>Chapter 973: Chapter 980: Rescuing Tang Guolun (Part 2)</h4>


    "This..." Ling Chen hesitated for a moment, unsure if he should agree to the porridge girl’s suggestion.


    Seeing Ling Chen’s dy in responding, the porridge girl couldn’t help but say, "What, are you afraid I’ll hold you back? Don’t forget, my skills are much stronger than yours."


    Hearing this, Ling Chen couldn’t help but smile. She was right—porridge girl was already a master on the Earthly List, far more formidable than him. Having her along would make the operation much more manageable.


    "Let’s go." Ling Chen looked around, then carefully proceeded forward. Before long, the two of them arrived at the base of a building.


    The building had justpleted its main structure. The outer walls were up but had not been painted, with surrounding areas littered with random stones. Under the porridge girl’s guidance, Ling Chen spotted a wooden door leading to the basement.


    The wooden door was very rudimentary, looking as if it might copse at a touch. Ling Chen walked over, gently touched the door panel with his hand, and found that it was incredibly sturdy, unlike an ordinary wooden door. If he guessed correctly, there was definitely a steel te inside the wooden door.


    After examining it for a while, Ling Chen couldn’t find a way to open it. Thinking it over, he turned to the porridge girl and said, "Looks like we’ll have to force our way in."


    "Wait!" The porridge girl gestured to stop Ling Chen and said, "You stay here, I’ll go lure them out first." With that, she quickly headed back.


    Seeing the porridge girl’s actions, Ling Chen immediately understood her intentions.


    The porridge girl intended to use the motion sensors ced around the construction site to attract the attention of the God Organization.


    In the darkness, the porridge girl’s speed was incredibly fast, like a fleeting shadow darting among the stones. Minutester, standing by the wooden door, Ling Chen heard a ’click’ as a crevice appeared in the door’s edge.


    Upon seeing this, Ling Chen hurriedly stepped aside. Just after hiding himself, he saw the door open from the inside, and five men stream out, heading quickly toward the construction site.


    Seizing the moment they hadn’t spotted him, Ling Chen swiftly changed positions and darted to the door. Before it could close, he slipped inside.


    Once through the door, Ling Chen focused his eyes. Aheady a two-meter wide passage leading straight to the bottom, stretching about twenty meters.


    Following the passage downward, Ling Chen soon picked up on faint sounds reaching his ears.


    Locking onto the source of the sound, Ling Chen quickened his pace, advancing over ten meters, and his surroundings suddenly brightened.


    Tsk tsk!


    Seeing therge open space ahead, Ling Chen couldn’t help but express his amazement.


    This indeed was the work of the wealthy Ling Family, constructing an underground base here. Moreover, the base seemed freshly built, with a strong odor still lingering.


    At the moment, over twenty staff members were busy atputers in the underground base. Besides them, more than ten suited security personnel were on duty, responsible for the base’s protection and safety.


    Ling Chen stood at the entrance looking inside but saw no sign of Tang Guolun and the others. However, there was another door at the base’s far end. Crossing through it meant passing by the workce, which would undoubtedly alert the security staff.


    With Tang Guolun and the others still in the enemy’s hands, it was best not to act rashly, lest they use Tang Guolun’s safety to threaten him, which would make things troublesome.


    While pondering this, footsteps were heard behind him. No doubt, it was the men who had gone out to check the motion sensors.


    This passage was a single route with no other hiding spots; if they came over, they would undoubtedly run into him.


    Thinking of this, Ling Chen pressed against the wall, steeled fists clenched, preparing to deal with them when they appeared to avoid having his position exposed.


    As the footsteps drew nearer, Ling Chen took a deep breath, body tensing, ready to make his move.


    The moment they appeared, he would strike without hesitation, neutralizing them before they could raise the rm.


    Watching their shadows approach on the ground, Ling Chen’s brow furrowed, and he leaped forward like a gust of wind, aiming his steel拳at the man’s face.


    But just then, another figure suddenly emerged from behind the man.


    Spotting this, Ling Chen hesitated momentarily, quickly withdrawing his fist.


    "Did you find your friend?"


    "No." Ling Chen looked at the porridge girl and said, "I was preparing to deal with them to avoid exposing myself."


    "Don’t worry, I’ve already got them under control." As she spoke, the porridge girl patted one man’s shoulder and said, "Take off your clothes."


    Upon hearing the porridge girl’smand, the man immediately started taking off his suit without a word.


    Seeing the man’s action, Ling Chen immediately understood the porridge girl’s intention and quickly changed into the suit.


    "Later on, you guys escort me inside and say you caught me outside."


    "I know what to do."


    So, Ling Chen mingled with the four suited men, using one hand to escort the porridge girl inside. Upon entering the base, a few security personnel immediately approached, pointing at the porridge girl and asking, "Who is she?"


    Ling Chen kept his head down, avoiding eye contact, fearing recognition. Meanwhile, the suited man beside Ling Chen answered, "We found her running around the construction site when we were checking outside, so we brought her down."


    "Do you know who she is?"


    "Not clear for now, we’re taking her for interrogation."


    The security personnel took a couple of nces at the porridge girl and nodded, "Alright, if she’s no threat, just kill her, don’t waste a cell bed."


    "Understood."


    The suited man responded, escorting the porridge girl onward.


    They passed through the st door, and the four suited men led Ling Chen and the porridge girl swiftly toward the prison. Soon, they arrived outside a door guarded by two security men.


    "They’re inside?" Ling Chen asked the suited man next to him.


    "All of them, over thirty people."


    Upon hearing this, Ling Chen signaled the porridge girl with a look, and she instantly understood, swiftly taking out the two guards.


    They pushed open the door, and scanning the area, Ling Chen saw that both sides of the passage were lined with cells holding more than ten people each, including Tang Guolun and the technical staff, all ounted for.


    "Ling Chen?"


    Seeing Ling Chen outside the cell, Tang Guolun’s eyes lit up, and he stood up from the bed, quickly moving to the cell door.

    "You finally came, I thought you’d forgotten us."


    Ling Chen grinned and said, "Boss Tang, how could I dare forget you? Step aside, I’ll get the door open for you."


    Before long, Tang Guolun and the others were all freed from their cells by Ling Chen.
