<h4>Chapter 1419: Chapter 1727: Disfigurement (1)</h4>


    After leaving the Nanrong Family, Ling Chen was still preupied with the matter of Zhu Hong. With the manpower they currently had, searching the entire East Sea City wouldn’t be difficult. As long as Zhu Hong was still in East Sea City, it was only a matter of time before they found him.


    Initially, Ling Chen nned to head straight to the base. However, thinking about Ling Gengqiu at home made him uneasy. Without him there to keep an eye, who knew what Ling Gengqiu might do. So, he drove to his home first.


    As soon as he opened the door and stepped inside, a pungent smell of alcohol hit him. Seeing the chaotic living room, Ling Chen’s expression darkened.


    Was this still his home? Ling Chen couldn’t help but groan. There were empty bottles and cigarette butts everywhere, not just on the floor, but even on the sofa, covered in trash, aplete mess. Moreover, Ling Chen found some women’s intimate clothing on the sofa.


    He followed the stairs to the second floor, reaching Ling Gengqiu’s room, and even before he entered, Ling Chen heard more than one person breathing inside. Four people... Ling Chen rubbed his nose, speechless. There was no need to guess what had happenedst night.


    Forget it! Since they were sleeping so soundly, there was no need to disturb them. However, Ling Chen had already decided in his heart that no matter what, he had to arrange for someone to stay by Ling Gengqiu’s side to constantly prevent him from doing anything untoward.


    After leaving home, Ling Chen drove straight to the base. But halfway through, he received a call from Hu Fei.


    "Hey! Ling Chen, we’ve found a ce where Zhu Hong might be hiding."


    "Are you sure? Where is it?"


    "In a warehouse in the Old City, it’s under Jiang Hao’s jurisdiction. I’ve already asked him to send someone over."


    "If Zhu Hong is there, then Chen Quan is likely there too. Sending Jiang Hao’s men is a death wish. Tell me the address and have Sir Chen meet me there immediately." After speaking, Ling Chen elerated towards the destination.


    More than ten minutester, Ling Chen, speeding all the way, finally arrived in the Old City. At that moment, a few business cars were parked outside a warehouse, with Jiang Hao leading people to check the surroundings.


    "Chen, you’re here!"


    "Is it here?"


    Jiang Hao nodded and said, "Weren’t you looking for Zhu Hong? After I was notified, I immediately had my men search the entire Old City. Later, a subordinate reported that this warehouse seemed strange. They often heard noises from inside, but the door was always closed, and no one ever went in or out."


    "And now? Is there anyone inside?"


    "I just listened but heard nothing," Jiang Hao said. "I’ve already sent someone to find the owner of this warehouse." As he finished speaking, a young man brought over a portly, bald man.


    "Hao, Chen, this warehouse is registered under his name."


    Upon hearing this, Ling Chen and Jiang Hao scrutinized the bald man and asked, "Do you use this warehouse yourself or have you rented it out?"


    The bald man quickly replied, "Hao, I rented out this warehouse a few months ago."


    "Who did you rent it to?"


    "A young man with the surname Chen, named Chen Rong."


    Ling Chen took out his phone, brought up a photo of Zhu Hong, showed it to the bald man, and asked, "Is this him?"


    The bald man examined it closely, then immediately nodded, "Yes, that’s him. When he first came to me, I wanted to sign a lease agreement with him and have him provide some information. But he told me that because he was from out of town, he didn’t have much information with him. Later, he paid double the rent directly. Since there was money to be made, I naturally didn’t refuse."


    Ling Chen nodded, "You can go now."


    Having confirmed it was Zhu Hong, there was no need for the bald man to stay. After waiting outside the warehouse for about ten minutes, Chen Junfeng finally arrived.


    With a master from the Heavenly List by his side, Ling Chen was much more at ease. He wasn’t afraid of Zhu Hong, his main concern was Chen Quan. With his current strength, he couldn’tpete with Chen Quan yet.


    Soon, everyone was ready. Ling Chen came to the side of the rolling shutter door, gave a signal to Chen Junfeng across from him. Then, the two kicked the bottom of the rolling shutter door open and lifted it up. At the same time, Chen Junfeng rushed into the warehouse, with Ling Chen following closely behind.


    However, upon entering the warehouse, Ling Chen was surprised to find that, apart from a few empty boxes and a ss room, there was nothing in the huge warehouse, let alone any people. "Chen, why is there no one here?" Jiang Hao came in from behind and asked, looking at the empty warehouse.


    Ling Chen frowned; he was still a step toote. It seemed Zhu Hong had already escaped.


    "Ling Chen, there are a lot of drag marks here," Chen Junfeng’s voice came. Ling Chen quickly walked over and saw many marks left on the ground at the back door of the warehouse, as if something heavy had been dragged away. Immediately, the two lifted the back door of the warehouse, revealing several pieces of heavy equipment stacked outside.


    "Huh! Why are these things still here?" Jiang Hao asked strangely.


    Ling Chen said in a deep voice, "Zhu Hong must have left not long ago. He must have spotted your men and abandoned this equipment to escape. Immediately call the Fatty and have him check the surveince on the nearby streets. If Zhu Hong moved so much equipment, he must have used a truck or lorry."


    Jiang Hao responded and quickly took out his phone to call Hu Fei.


    After the call, just as Ling Chen was about to leave, he suddenly heard a familiar voiceing from the warehouse: "Ling Chen, you’re really annoying, like an annoying shadow that I can’t shake off."


    "Zhu Hong!" Ling Chen raised an eyebrow, looking around the warehouse. He quickly discovered a loudspeaker in the corner, from which Zhu Hong’s voice was emanating. Furthermore, a surveince camera was installed in the corner of the warehouse, keeping all their actions under watch.


    "Too bad, even if you caught up, it’s still futile, I managed to escape nheless."


    "As long as you haven’t left East Sea City, you have no right to say that."


    Zhu Hongughed, "Is that so? I’m afraid you’ll be disappointed. I’m currently on a ne leaving East Sea City, which will take off in five minutes. No matter how capable you are, it’s impossible to rush here and stop me."


    Airport... Ling Chen’s heart sank. He had clearly stationed people at the airport. Moreover, Hu Fei was constantly monitoring the airport surveince; if Zhu Hong showed up, there was no reason they wouldn’t notice. With that in mind, Ling Chen no longer wasted time with Zhu Hong and ran straight out of the warehouse.


    However, just as they were about to rush out of the warehouse, there was a loud ’bang,’ and the entire warehouse instantly turned into a sea of fire.
