<h4>Chapter 1026: Chapter 1033: Lin Guodong Captured (2)</h4>


    Half an hourter, Jiang Hao and Zhao Zhengxiong drove to the base. At this moment, Ling Chen, Tang Guolun, and Hu Fei were standing outside the base, waiting for the two of them to arrive.


    "Chen, Brother Hu, Boss Tang." After getting out of the car, Jiang Hao smiled and greeted them.


    "Chen!" Zhao Zhengxiong called out to Ling Chen and nodded to Tang Guolun and Hu Fei as a greeting.


    "Xiong, it’s all thanks to you this time." Ling Chen patted Zhao Zhengxiong’s shoulder and said with a smile.


    Initially, when Zhao Zhengxiong, Nanrong Hao, and Jiang Hao seized control of East Sea City’s underground scene, Ling Chen anticipated that once East Sea City became his stronghold, God Organization would certainly try to break through somehow and find an opportunity to deal with him. Therefore, rather than letting God Organization break the gap, it was better to actively create one for them.


    Thus, Ling Chen secretly talked with Zhao Zhengxiong, asking him to find the right time to turn against Jiang Hao and Nanrong Hao, creating an illusion of opposition. This matter was known only to Ling Chen and Zhao Zhengxiong, nobody else was aware. Ling Chen did not inform Nanrong Hao and Jiang Hao, fearing they might slip and let God Organization catch on.


    Therefore, the conflict between Zhao Zhengxiong and Jiang Hao was genuine, only this way could they deceive Lin Guodong and others.


    However, their efforts finally paid off, as Zhao Zhengxiong sessfully connected with God Organization. In some matters, to further gain Lin Guodong’s trust in Zhao Zhengxiong, Ling Chen let Zhao Zhengxiong participate willingly in some actions against them, including destroying the research base.


    Recently, because of Zhao Zhengxiong’s betrayal, Nanrong Hao and Jiang Hao were furious and wanted revenge. When they went to capture Zhao Zhengxiong, it was Ling Chen who secretly informed him, allowing Zhao Zhengxiong to escape unharmed. Otherwise, given Ling Chen’s abilities, it would have been impossible for Zhao Zhengxiong to escape easily.


    Leaving Zhao Zhengxiong in God Organization, Ling Chen wanted him to be an important piece that could y a role at a critical moment. And tonight was the moment for Zhao Zhengxiong to y his part. The call he made to Lin Guodong was crucial, providing the phone signal that allowed Hu Fei to sessfully locate Lin Guodong and intercept him.


    "Xiong, where is Lin Guodong?"


    "In Officer Xia’s car." With that, Zhao Zhengxiong turned and whistled. Soon, Xia Mutong led the way, followed by two officers escorting the tightly bound Lin Guodong out of the car.


    "Thank you, Officer Xia." Ling Chen nced at Xia Mutong, showing a hint of gratitude in his eyes. Thetter rolled her eyes at him and pulled him aside, saying, "Ling Chen, our police exerted great effort to capture Mr. Lin, mobilizing almost all avable forces in the area. Are you really going to hand him over to me just like that?"


    Ling Chen smiled wryly and said, "Miss Xia, the police helping to capture him was an order from above. Moreover, handing him over to me is also an order from above. I know you’re reluctant, but the work I’m doing also helps alleviate the pressure from above. After all, resolving the major threat of God Organization can ease their worries, can’t it?"


    ring at Ling Chen, Xia Mutong looked helpless and said, "Fine, since it’s an order from above, I won’t interfere. But what do you n to do with him?"


    "I have my own ns."


    "Get lost!" Xia Mutong said angrily, turning around with several officers to get into the police car and leave.


    Seeing Lin Guodong’s indignant eyes, Ling Chen smiled slightly: "Mr. Lin, we meet again."


    Lin Guodong said in a deep voice, "Ling Chen, you’ve proven remarkable this time. I admit defeat, no matter how you n to deal with me, I won’t oppose."


    "Mr. Lin, rest assured, I won’t take your life. Your life isn’t of much value to me. Fatty, lock him up for now, I have more questions for himter."


    "Alright, you two." Hu Fei pointed at the two young men and said, "Follow me."


    Once Hu Fei took Lin Guodong away, Tang Guolun looked at Ling Chen and asked, "How do you n to deal with him? He’s God Organization’s number two; aren’t you nning to kill him?"


    Laughing, Ling Chen said, "I haven’t nned to kill him. Also, I need to correct you; Lin Guodong isn’t God Organization’s number two; he is actually the true leader of God Organization. That Lin Qiqi is merely a facade, designed to draw attention for Lin Guodong."


    "Really?" Tang Guolun was a bit skeptical.


    "Of course it’s true; there’s no faking this. We were deceived by Lin Guodong before. Later, when I thought about it, something didn’t seem right. That Lin Qiqi didn’t seem like a ruthless person. How could a young girl control a global force? Moreover, if Lin Qiqi were truly the leader of God Organization, why was there only a Fake Heaven List expert protecting her? Lin Guodong has experts like Ji Gang protecting him; as God Organization’s leader, she wouldn’t possibly receive poorer treatment than Lin Guodong. Also, ever since Lin Guodong and Lin Qiqi were rescued, Lin Qiqi disappeared, and all matters were handled directly by Lin Guodong, including moving God Organization’s base to East Sea City. If Lin Qiqi were truly God Organization’s leader, would she ignore such significant matters?"


    After hearing Ling Chen’s analysis, Tang Guolun nodded and said, "You make a good point. It seems we were indeed deceived." Then, Tang Guolun changing tack, asked in confusion, "Since Lin Guodong is God Organization’s true leader, why not kill him, and what are you doing keeping him around?"


    "Although Lin Guodong is God Organization’s leader, he’s just a minor character; the ones I’m targeting are not Lin Guodong but those behind him. Alright, don’t ask about this for now; I’m not entirely sure either. Once I figure it out, I’ll let you know. Let’s head back to the base. No matter what, clearing Lin Guodong out is worth celebrating."


    Back at the base, Ling Chen had already had someone prepare beer and snacks. With Lin Guodong captured, God Organization’s forces in East Sea City were mostly dealt with, and soon they would be able to entirely drive God Organization out of East Sea City. When that happens, East Sea City will still be theirs.


    After a few beers, Ling Chen patted Hu Fei’s shoulder and said, "Tell everyone not to party too long; there’s still plenty to be done tonight."


    "Don’t worry; I’ll manage. Hey! Aren’t you staying to drink with us?"


    "No, I’m going to see Lin Guodong."


    Alone, Ling Chen approached the room where Lin Guodong was held, unlocking the door, and looking at Lin Guodong chained up, he walked directly up to him and unlocked the chains on his hands.


    "Here, have a beer." Ling Chen handed the beer he brought to Lin Guodong.


    Looking at the beer in his hand, Lin Guodong said indifferently: "What does this mean? Don’t tell me you want me to celebrate with you."
