Chapter 458

The tone was full of desolation.

He knew he simply could not make Ning Chen stop.

Trying to completely block someone.

That was unrealistic.

Unless he locked him up in confinement.

Moreover, doing so might backfire, triggering a rebellious mindset.

It would only make Ning Chen more obsessed with it.

No matter what, stopping Ning Chen was impossible.

The words Zhao Zhiguo had just spoken were merely to give Ning Chen a baseline in his heart, so he would act without leaving traces.

At the same time, he must be careful not to be caught by the other side.

Otherwise, the consequences would be miserable.

Zhao Zhiguo let out a bitter laugh, slowly exhaling a plume of smoke from his mouth.

Finally, he sighed melancholically, "I'm getting old."

His eyes were filled with regret.

If he were a bit younger, he might have followed Ning Chen to seek revenge.

But now he was old; there was no help for it, and he could only assist Ning Chen from the outside.

For instance, by catching the traitor within.

Zhao Zhiguo also felt deep regret regarding Si Shiya.

Sailor was dead.

Zhao Zhiguo had watched Si Shiya grow up.

She was like his own daughter.

Having his daughter killed by criminals was the pain of his lifetime.

Back then, he had failed to save Si Shiya.

Now, he had failed to stop Ning Chen.

His entire life was filled with regrets.

He did not want Ning Chen to follow in Si Shiya's footsteps.

Yet, in his heart, there was also an expectation and a hope.

What if.

What if Ning Chen could really bring down the entire Gulf Family?

Ning Chen's speed earlier and his miraculous fusion with the darkness.

He had witnessed it with his own eyes.

Zhao Zhiguo also understood that Ning Chen could easily have fled on his own.

Using such a method.

Undoubtedly, he wanted to tell him.

The Ning Chen of now was different from before.

Very strong.

Capable of surviving the struggle.

For a moment.

Zhao Zhiguo felt somewhat gratified.

This child at least knew to inform him that he was now safe and capable.

Although he had not spoken a word.

But actions were the best proof.

This silent understanding.

Was enough to show.

Ning Chen was no longer a child who needed worrying about.

Thinking of this.

Zhao Zhiguo smiled.

He threw the cigarette butt on the ground and crushed it out with his foot.

Then he got into the car.

Next.

He had his own matters to attend to.

311. (1/5) Sprouting

After meeting with Zhao Zhiguo.

Ning Chen exited the alley mouth.

His mind was calculating certain matters.

Within Donghai City.

The members of the Gulf Family hunting Ning Chen should have all been eliminated by him.

The remaining matters would all be resolved by Zhao Zhiguo.

Moreover.

Ning Chen had already told Zhao Zhiguo the clue regarding that undercover agent.

It shouldn't take long.

We can drag him out.

After all, that scar is quite obvious.

So next,

it will be Si Shiya's turn.

Thinking of this,

Ning Chen let out a sigh.

At the same time,

a seed sprouted in his heart.

What he must do next,

whether it unfolds as he guessed in his heart,

or turns out somewhat unexpected,

will have a great impact.

Of course,

this impact is directed at Ning Chen,

not at outsiders.

Next,

Ning Chen did not rush to do this thing.

Instead, he drove the motorhome back to the hotel where Zhang Xiao lived.

He went upstairs.

He knocked lightly on the door.

The room key was inside.

So Ning Chen could only wait for Zhang Xiao to open the door.

"Creak!"

The door opened.

Zhang Xiao curiously poked his small head out; seeing it was Ning Chen, he immediately exclaimed with delight: "Big brother! You're back?"

Ning Chen nodded and asked, "Are you hungry? You haven't eaten for so long."

Zhang Xiao covered his stomach and said, "I'm starving! I haven't had a meal all this time!"

Just then.
