Chapter 657: Chapter 662: Rescuing the Porridge Girl (4)

"Where is porridge girl, hand her over."

Mr. Lin pointed at the Mercedes-Benz and said indifferently, "The person you’re looking for is inside the car, but it depends on whether you have the ability to take her away." As he spoke, Mr. Lin’s tone shifted, looking meaningfully at Ling Chen, "I’ve heard about you for a long time. They say you’re skilled, ranking first on the Newcomer List. I’ve always wanted to find an opportunity to test my skills against yours, but there was never a chance. Now that you’re here, let’s see how capable you are."

With that, Mr. Lin raised his hand and beckoned Ling Chen with a finger, his face full of provocation.

Ling Chen frowned slightly at Mr. Lin’s mocking smile, turned his head to look at Hu Fei inside the van, and gestured for him to retreat, signaling him to leave quickly.

Not to mention how formidable Mr. Lin was, there was also Ji Gang, a master from the Heavenly List in that Mercedes. Ling Chen knew Hu Fei and the others staying there would only increase their peril.

Hu Fei was quite cooperative; upon seeing Ling Chen’s gesture, he immediately urged the driver to reverse.

However, a ’clang clang’ sound suddenly came from above the vehicle. Before Hu Fei could react, Yi Shuiyan leaped down from the front of the vehicle, landing behind Ling Chen. Along with him, Wei Bo and Gan Chutian also followed. With their addition, Ling Chen was immediately besieged by four men, plunging into an extremely dangerous situation.

Seeing this, Hu Fei, seated in the passenger seat, could not help but worry about Ling Chen’s safety.

"Ling Chen, I’d like to see where you could flee today," Yi Shuiyan said with a cold laugh.

Facing the four menacing men, Ling Chen was calm and collected, though the pressure on him surged. Dealing with just Mr. Lin was already uncertain, let alone now with the addition of Yi Shuiyan and the other two, he was undoubtedly in a perilous situation.

"Mr. Lin, if you don’t mind, why not let us handle Ling Chen?" Yi Shuiyan spoke politely, his tone very courteous yet with a hint of respect. Clearly, Mr. Lin had a not-so-low status in the God Organization. Otherwise, with Yi Shuiyan’s arrogance, he would never use such a respectful title for a peer.

Mr. Lin indifferently said, "I did want to see the skills of the top ranker on the Newcomer List, but since you want to make a move, I shall let you."

"Ling Chen, you murdered the Sect Leader of Dangyang Sect. Today, I must kill you to avenge the Sect Leader."

Hearing Wei Bo’s ice-cold voice, Ling Chen was momentarily stunned, then turned to look at him, "I’m saying, could you have made a mistake? Zhu Jin wasn’t killed by me. He was already dead when I found him. If you wish to frame someone, you need evidence. Don’t slander me randomly."

Gan Chutian snorted, "Could he be wrong? Ling Chen, I didn’t expect you to be such a despicable, shameless wretch, daring to act but not own up, still making excuses at this point. When you killed Zhu Jin, Shuiyan saw it all with his own eyes. He is Zhu Jin’s Direct Disciple, would he lie?"

Yi Shuiyan?

Ling Chen was startled, his gaze filled with astonishment as he looked at Yi Shuiyan, who was actually pinning the murder of Zhu Jin on him.

In the blink of an eye, Ling Chen glanced at Wei Bo and Gan Chutian, asking, "Are you two here to avenge Zhu Jin?"

"That’s right! You killed our Sect Leader, and that makes you the enemy of Dangyang Sect. If we don’t kill you, how can Dangyang Sect continue to hold a place in the Martial Arts world?"

"That’s truly laughable," Ling Chen shook his head and said, "Dangyang Sect is already colluding with the God Organization, and yet you still care about your reputation in the Martial Arts world. I really don’t know where you get your courage from."

As his words fell, seeing Gan Chutian preparing to speak again, Ling Chen waved his hand dismissively, speaking with impatience, "Enough! Quit your blathering. I don’t know what Yi Shuiyan told you, but what I can tell you is that Zhu Jin wasn’t killed by me; on the contrary, Zhu Jin died at the hands of his most cherished disciple."

"Nonsense!" Yi Shuiyan bellowed angrily: "Ling Chen, how dare you slander me."

With a sneer, Ling Chen said, "Slander? Have I slandered you? Yi Shuiyan, do you really think that your deeds are unknown to others? That day at the base, after you killed Zhu Jin, you left his body there and just walked away. But you probably didn’t expect that I would find Zhu Jin’s body. I examined his body and discovered a fatal wound in his abdomen, pierced by a steel knife. At that time, only you were with Zhu Jin. Besides you wielding a steel knife, who else could it be?" As he said this, Ling Chen looked at Wei Bo and Gan Chutian and continued, "I knew Yi Shuiyan would not admit it, so I took the liberty of photographing Zhu Jin’s body, intending to keep it as evidence. If you don’t believe me, I can show you the photos."

Yi Shuiyan’s face darkened as he said, "Ling Chen, you think we would believe your tall tales? What can a photo prove? With current technology, any kind of photo can be fabricated. Protectors, don’t believe his words, he’s trying to sow discord."

"Enough!" Lin Tong said coldly from the side: "If you’re going to fight, just get on with it. I don’t have time to waste with you."

Hearing this, Yi Shuiyan said no more, wielding the steel knife in his hand and quickly charging at Ling Chen, raising the knife over his head and striking down towards him.

However, just at that moment, the door of the Mercedes car suddenly swung open. Right after, porridge girl was seen stepping out from the back seat.

Seeing porridge girl emerge, Ling Chen let out a breath of relief and hurried to greet her, calling out her name. Yet, before he reached the Mercedes sedan, he stopped in his tracks, his gaze intense as he saw Ji Gang following behind porridge girl. noveldrama

Lin Tong looked at Ji Gang in surprise and asked, "Mr. Ji, why did you come down? Don’t worry, leave this to us to handle."

Ji Gang glanced around, seemingly indifferent to Lin Tong’s words, and spoke to himself, "Since you’re here, there’s no need to hide. Come on out."

As his voice faded, a faint scent of alcohol suddenly permeated the air, drifting towards everyone present.

Smelling the rich fragrance of the liquor, Ling Chen’s spirits were lifted, and he excitedly scanned the surroundings.

Du Kang!

It was Du Kang who had arrived.

Ling Chen quietly breathed a sigh of relief; he thought Du Kang had disappeared, but unexpectedly, he would appear at this critical moment.

"Old Man Ji, long time no see."

That familiar voice rose, and Ling Chen looked up to see Du Kang sitting on top of a wall, holding a liquor gourd in his hand. His wrinkled face was flushed, and the corners of his mouth still had traces of wine spills.

"Elder Du!"

Hearing Ling Chen’s shout, Du Kang smiled and nodded, saying, "Sorry about that, I had something come up last night, I saw that you were sleeping deeply, so I didn’t wake you up."

After finishing his words, Du Kang looked at Ji Gang and said, "Old Man Ji, do you still remember this old friend of mine?"

With an expressionless face, Ji Gang replied, "Du Kang, so many years without meeting, hope you’ve been well."
