<h4>Chapter 1407: Chapter 1715: Scum (2)</h4>


    "Xinxin, Chen is right. You should change your workce. At worst, I can help you find a more legitimate school," Jiang Hao chimed in.


    "No need," Liu Xin replied. "Finding a job isn’t easy these days. It’s not like I haven’t thought about switching schools, but I haven’t seeded. A school seemed interested in my application and even scheduled an interview with me. But for some reason, just when I was about to leave, they suddenly called and said I was no longer needed because they weren’tcking teachers."


    "Do you think it’s that Yang Ping causing trouble?"


    "I’m not sure. In any case, he’s about to go abroad. Once he’s gone, no one will bother me anymore." After speaking, Liu Xin picked up her chopsticks, smiled, and said, "Let’s not talk about this anymore. It’s rare to meet with you all, so let’s be happy."


    Ling Chen nodded, choosing not to say more. Since Liu Xin felt there was no issue, he didn’t want to waste his breath. After finishing their meal, they took a short break before Ling Chen received a call from Ling Gengqiu.


    "Everyone, I have something to attend to. Take your time; I’ll head out first."


    "Chen, let’s go together. I have to head to workter," Nanrong Hao said.


    Zhao Zhengxiong asked, "Jiang Hao, do you have any ns for the afternoon?"


    "I’m nning to take Xinxin to the amusement park for a bit of fun." As he spoke, Jiang Hao nced at the time, stood up, and helped Liu Xin with her bag, suggesting, "Should we head out as well?"


    "Okay."


    The group left and headed toward the restaurant exit. As they approached the door, Liu Xin suddenly grabbed Jiang Hao’s hand and whispered, "Did you pay the bill?"


    "Haozi already took care of it. Xinxin, what’s wrong?"


    "They’re all regr employees and aren’t as well-off as you. This restaurant is quite expensive, and the meal earlier probably cost a few thousand yuan. It’s not right to let them pay for it."


    Jiang Haoughed and said, "It’s okay; they’re not as broke as you think. Let’s go!" With that, Jiang Hao took Liu Xin and walked out of the restaurant.


    Meanwhile, Ling Chen and the others were waiting outside for Jiang Hao and Liu Xin. After watching them drive away, Zhao Zhengxiong and Nanrong Hao each left in their luxury cars.


    Ling Chen adjusted his suit, returned to his car, and shortly after, saw Ling Gengqiue out of the restaurant with that stunning woman. Earlier, the woman had been holding onto Ling Gengqiu’s arm; now, her body was tightly pressed against him, especially with Ling Gengqiu’s arm nestled between her ample assets.


    Looking at Ling Gengqiu’s enjoying expression, it was clear that the lunch was quite delightful.


    Once in the car, Ling Gengqiu, with the beautiful woman beside him, said, "Ling Chen, arrange a ce for the afternoon. I want to have a deep conversation with this lovelydy."


    Ling Chen wanted tough, knowing exactly what kind of "deep conversation" it was. However, as a driver, he couldn’t very well mock Ling Gengqiu openly. Ling Chen then called to book a presidential suite in a luxury hotel in East Sea City.


    After a half-hour drive, Ling Chen drove Ling Gengqiu and the woman to their destination.


    Watching their figures disappear into the hotel entrance, Ling Chen whistled and drove straight to the base, with no time to spare on Gengqiu’s leisure.


    Upon reaching the base, Ling Chen went to the control room where he found Hu Fei with a cup of coffee, leisurely watching videos.


    "Fatty, you seem pretty free today."


    Hu Fei nced at Ling Chen and kept his eyes on the screen. "After being busy for so many days, it’s nice to rx a bit. What brings you here today?"


    "Just thought I’d drop by since there’s nothing else to do. Hey! Any news on the thing I asked you to check?"


    "I just got their report. The ce you mentioned is empty, and Su Cheng’en has already moved.


    "Empty?" Ling Chen’s heart sank, realizing Su Cheng’en was already on guard. He had intended to make a move, but it seemed another strategy was now necessary.


    "Fatty, what about that other guy? Still no news?"


    "You mean Zhu Hong?" Hu Fei shook his head. "That guy is as cunning as a rat. Who knows where he’s hiding? Not a single clue. If he keeps his head down, he’s hard to find. But if Zhu Hong is smart, he’ll find some remote ce to stay and not return home. Given the force youmand now, if he tries anything, it’s practically suicide."


    "Let’s hope so."


    After chatting with Hu Fei for a bit, Ling Chen checked the time. It was nearly dinner, and Gengqiu was likely done with his afternoon dalliance. Ling Chen said goodbye to Hu Fei and left the base alone.


    Driving away from the base, Ling Chen merged onto the highway, heading toward the hotel. As his car gradually disappeared from view, a young man seated in an outdoor café lifted his head, adjusted his baseball cap, tossed a hundred-yuan bill on the table, and got up to leave.


    On reaching the roadside, the young man hailed a taxi and mentioned a location, prompting the driver to head off.


    About ten minutester, the taxi arrived in East Sea City’s Old City. Thanks to significant investment by the Hongyu Group and government support, the Old City had been transformed into the city’s new district, with all the old buildings reced by high-rise structures.


    Alighting from the taxi, the young man adjusted the brim of his hat and hurried to a rolling gate.


    Soon after, the gate slowly lifted, and the young man bent under it to enter.


    Once inside and the gate closed, the young man finally removed his baseball cap.


    "Mr. Zhu." Seeing the young man return, a middle-aged man in ab coat immediately approached. "Our pharmaceutical supplies are running low. When can you procure more for us?"


    The young man was none other than Zhu Hong.


    After hearing the middle-aged man, Zhu Hong scanned the surroundings. In the warehousey various equipment, with over a dozen researchers bustling about. At the center stood a transparent ss vessel soaking a severed leg in liquid.


    After a quick nce, Zhu Hong turned his attention back and asked, "Can it wait?"


    "I’m afraid not. Our experiment is at a critical stage. Without enough drugs, the experiment might fail, wasting all our previous investments."


    Zhu Hong nodded. "Alright then, give me a list, and I’ll figure out how to get the supplies."


    "The list is ready," the middle-aged man said, handing Zhu Hong a slip of paper.


    Looking at the inventory of drugs, Zhu Hong couldn’t help but frown, "Why are they all banned substances?"


    "We have no choice. Regr drug doses aren’t sufficient."
