<h4>Chapter 1114: Chapter 1121: The Death of Wei Jun</h4>


    "Alright, since that’s the case, I won’t disturb you. I’ll contact you if anythinges up." After saying that, Hu Fei was about to hang up the phone.


    "Wait!" Ling Chen nced stealthily at the four women in the living room and whispered, "Buddy, don’t hang up yet, you have to save me tonight."


    "Save you?" Hu Feiughed and teased, "I say, Ling Chen, the sun must be rising in the west today. You’re actually asking me for help. What? Do you have too many beauties around you that you can’t manage, and you need me toe over and give you a hand?"


    "Get lost. If you dare talk nonsense again, I’ll tear that big mouth of yours. Hey! Are you free? Bring some snacks ande over, let’s have some drinks."


    "Sure, since there’s nothing much going on, wait for me, I’ll be right over."


    After hanging up the phone, Ling Chen returned to the living room, seeing everyone’s eyes on him. He hurriedly smiled and said, "Hu Fei is looking for me; he’ll being over soon. I’ll go downstairs to wait for him, you guys enjoy yourselves." Without waiting for Liu Xiyao and others to speak, Ling Chen had already run out of the living room.


    Arriving at the first-floor living room, Ling Chen took a deep breath, feeling refreshed all over. Without those beautiful women around, he feltpletely at ease.


    Sometimes, having too many beauties around isn’t necessarily a good thing.


    In less than half an hour, Hu Fei arrived with a few bottles of liquor and some spiced food.


    "Hey! Where are thosedies?" Hu Fei looked around, seeking traces of the beauties.


    "Enough, stop looking, they’re upstairs. What, you want to meet them? Fine, leave the stuff, I’ll enjoy it slowly, and you can go up on your own. But don’t say I didn’t warn you, thosedies aren’t easy to deal with."


    "No worries." Hu Fei grinned, "I’m more experienced in dealing with beauties than you. Alright, enough of this, I’ll head up first to say hello to thedies."


    Ling Chen couldn’t be bothered with Hu Fei, eating his spiced food and drinking beer by himself.


    In less than five minutes, Hu Fei came running down from upstairs in distress. Reaching Ling Chen’s side, Hu Fei wiped the sweat off his forehead and exhaled, "You were right, that group ofdies is really hard to deal with. Sigh! Ling Chen, I wrongfully med you; it seems not everyone can enjoy such fortune."


    "Come,e, let’s have a drink, ignore those women."


    After finishing the drinks, it was already past eleven o’clock at night. Checking the time, Hu Fei stood up and said, "It’ste, I’m heading back now, looks like we managed to get through the day safely."


    "Let’s hope so."


    After seeing Hu Fei off, Ling Chen returned to the second floor, only to find Nanrong Wanqing and the other three women had gone to rest, leaving ying cards from a game of Truth or Dare on the table.


    Ling Chen chuckled, casually drawing a few cards, and after reading the questions on them, he silently praised himself for being smart enough to call Hu Fei over in time, thus dodging a bullet. Otherwise, if he had drawn such questions, he would truly be in trouble.


    The next morning.


    Ling Chen was still sleeping when his phone suddenly rang, waking him from a sound sleep.


    Yawning, Ling Chen reached out, grabbed his phone, and nced at it, seeing that Xia Mutong was calling.


    It’s only half-past five, what would Xia Mutong need from him at this hour?


    Connecting the call, Ling Chen said "Hello" and asked, "Officer Xia, what are you calling me so early for?"


    "Ling Chen, I need to ask you, is Nanrong Wanqing at your ce?"


    "Wanqing? Why, do you need to talk to her? You could just call her directly."


    "I did, but no one answered, probably still asleep. Can you wake her up? Something happened over here."


    "Something happened?" Ling Chen sat up abruptly, hastily asking, "Officer Xia, what happened?"


    "At midnightst night, there was an explosion in the southern part of the city. We just finished handling the scene."


    Upon hearing this, Ling Chen felt a shiver in his heart and asked, "What does this explosion have to do with Wanqing?"


    "We’ve just confirmed the identity of the deceased, he’s an employee of Hongyu Group. Since we couldn’t contact the family, I had to find Miss Nanrong to ask about the employee’s situation."


    "There’s a deceased?" Ling Chen said solemnly, "Who is it?"


    "Based on clues found at the scene, the deceased is identified as Wei Jun, the head of security at Hongyu Group."


    Wei Jun?


    Wei Jun!


    Ling Chen’s face changed drastically. After finding out the address, he immediately got out of bed, dressing hurriedly while heading to Nanrong Wanqing’s room.


    Knocking on the door, Nanrong Wanqing, rubbing her sleepy eyes, saw Ling Chen’s grim face at the door and asked, "What’s wrong?"


    "Get dressed, we need to go out, Wei Jun is dead."


    "Wei Jun? Who is Wei Jun?" The still-sleepy Nanrong Wanqing didn’t immediately react.


    "Wei Jun, the captain of the second security team."


    "What?" Nanrong Wanqing was shocked, instantly bing alert.


    "I’ll wait for you downstairs."


    Soon, the ready Nanrong Wanqing came downstairs. Inside the car, Ling Chen said nothing, immediately starting the car and rushing to the destination.


    Before long, Ling Chen and Nanrong Wanqing arrived at the explosion site.


    Wei Jun’s home was in an old residential building, on the second floor, and the explosion had urred right at Wei Jun’s ce. Police had already cordoned off the area.


    Ling Chen nced around and quickly spotted Xia Mutong in the crowd.


    "Officer Xia."


    "You finally arrived." Xia Mutong greeted Nanrong Wanqing and asked, "Miss Nanrong, Wei Jun was one of your employees. Can you reach his family?"


    "I’ve already notified the HR department, they should send the information soon."


    "That’s good."


    "Officer Xia, Wei Jun... where is he?" Ling Chen asked.


    Xia Mutong pointed to an ambnce parked roadside. Before she could speak, Ling Chen had walked over quickly. Getting to the vehicle and seeing the body bag on the stretcher, Ling Chen’s heart sank heavily.


    Just a few days ago, he had seen Wei Jun, and they had beenughing and talking. Now, they were separated by life and death.


    "Wei," Ling Chen clenched his fist, his eyes red, wishing he could immediately hunt down the perpetrator and tear him to pieces.


    At that moment, his phone rang. Ling Chen pulled out his phone and saw the caller ID was an unfamiliar number, which he immediately answered.


    "You’re the one who killed him, aren’t you?"


    "Haha! Mr. Ling, don’t be upset. Didn’t I warn you three days ago? It’s your own negligence. If you’d paid attention to him, he wouldn’t have ended up like this. But this is just a small lesson. That Wei Jun was a nobody, so it’s no big loss for him to die."


    Ling Chen said coldly, "That was a human life."


    "Human life varies in value. For instance, Nanrong Wanqing, Tang Shiyun, Liu Xiyao, and Zhu Xiaozhu, their lives are precious, which is why you brought them to your home for close protection. As for someone like Wei Jun, you consider him a friend, but never thought about his safety. So, in your eyes, he was just a dispensable minor character."
