Chapter 716

As Ning Chen spoke these words, he felt a certain regret; the later one kills someone, the greater the variables that arise in the interim, and by that time, if someone were to come to rescue him, it would be troublesome.

Hearing Ning Chen's few words, Seeing Hu Di was somewhat dismissive: "What could they possibly get out of me?"

After speaking, he closed his mouth and did not utter another word.

Ning Chen did not wish to speak with him either, and the car fell silent.

Ning Chen drove for another two hours before reaching the Jingju Sect; this time, Ning Chen did not go to the Jingju Sect from before, as he no longer trusted the police in that place, so he brought Seeing Hu Di to a much larger Jingju Sect.

People in this area had all heard whispers of the matter, let alone the police. Seeing Ning Chen bring a prisoner in, someone immediately stepped forward voluntarily. Looking at Seeing Hu Di, who was following reluctantly behind Ning Chen, his eyes flickered.

"Hello, I am the Chief of this Jingju Sect," said the lean middle-aged man before him, "That must be Seeing Hu Di, right?"

Ning Chen nodded, took the handcuffs handed to him by the Chief, and in three quick motions cuffed Seeing Hu Di's already useless hands, saying, "I have brought him over; I hope you do not follow the path of the previous Jingju Sect. His hands are crippled, so his companions will not be able to find this place in the short term; you can handle it yourselves."

After saying this, Ning Chen did not wish to stay here any longer; he shoved Seeing Hu Di forward and turned to leave.

Ning Chen's grip was not weak; Seeing Hu Di stumbled from the push. Seeing Hu Di turned back, about to say something, but Ning Chen was already at the Jingju Sect entrance, pulling the door open and preparing to leave.

The police watched Ning Chen's back, momentarily at a loss for words.

But the Chief still chased after him. Seeing someone chasing from behind, Ning Chen found it not strange; he merely raised his eyes to look at him, then leisurely asked, "What is it?"

The Chief offered thanks: "Thank you for bringing him to our side; rest assured, we will not betray your trust. The prisoner will absolutely not escape from our Jingju Sect."

Hearing this, Ning Chen raised an eyebrow; although he nodded, his expression clearly showed little belief: "Not escape? It is better not to speak so confidently. Do you know what organization stands behind Seeing Hu Di?"

In fact, a person who had risen to the position of Chief certainly had some skill; after Ning Chen asked this question, the Chief's expression turned serious as he replied, "I know."

Ning Chen was somewhat surprised: "Then why do you make such solemn promises to me? You may not be able to achieve that level."

The Chief scratched his head: "We will dispatch more police forces to support us; that organization is currently unable to attend to its own affairs, so it probably cannot come to kidnap the person."

Ning Chen's eyes flashed: "You know so much?"

"Yes, because we have an independent system here," the Chief seemed to feel there was nothing to hide from Ning Chen, so he spoke everything out, "In that system, we can track any personnel we wish to track."

Ning Chen turned his head to look at him: "Since you have such a thing, why did you not use it earlier?"

The Chief sighed: "Actually, it is not that we did not want to use it earlier; mainly, those people are too difficult to deal with. Even if we found their location, what use would it be? Without dispatching manpower, we still could not defeat the opposition."

After hearing this sentence, Ning Chen nodded: "That is true."

What the Chief said was correct; the organization behind Seeing Hu Di was too powerful, and a single Jingju Sect simply could not contend with the organization behind Seeing Hu Di. It could be said that if not for Ning Chen this time, they would have been unable to recapture Seeing Hu Di.

Ning Chen said, "Then let it be for now; I am also too lazy to get involved in your affairs. I just thought about it, after all, I have no connection to this matter. I am leaving first."

After speaking, Ning Chen nodded to the Chief, turned, and left towards the outside.

Ning Chen communicated with the system in his mind: "The pilot should arrive on time this time, right? Don't tell me you didn't notify them again this time."

The system replied very quickly: "Notified. The pilot's estimated arrival time is one hour."

One hour.

Ning Chen squinted his eyes and looked up at the current sky.

Dawn was approaching.

He had not closed his eyes all night; now rubbing the center of his brow, he finally felt somewhat fatigued.

With one hour remaining, he could return to the car for a simple nap while waiting for the helicopter to arrive.

Having made up his mind, Ning Chen returned to the car, set an alarm, closed his eyes, and fell asleep almost immediately.

The Shanzhuang had been turned upside down by Li Yu.

Li Yu finally confirmed that Ning Chen had left with Seeing Hu Di, but he still found it strange: how could Ning Chen escape under the guard of so many people?

635 confirmed the location.

Actually, if Ning Chen had escaped alone, it would not have been a big deal, after all, Ning Chen was only one person, a small target.

But adding Seeing Hu Di to the mix changed the situation entirely.

Li Yu sat on the sofa with the lights off; in the black space, only the tip of the cigarette he had lit was vaguely visible.

Three minutes later, the sound of a door opening came; a white light flashed briefly and disappeared as the door closed.

Footsteps approached; Li Yu frowned instantly.

"Tell me their location."

The light of the cigarette tip flickered, followed by the sound of exhaling smoke in the darkness. The person standing before Li Yu fumbled in the dark to find the table and placed the laptop bag on it.

Li Yu's gaze fell on the person's face for a second in the void, then paused; he shifted his body backward, then raised his head to look at him again.

The person carrying the laptop bag calmly took out a notebook; as the screen opened, a slightly glaring white light shone on the person's face; it was a young man.

He skillfully typed a string of numbers on the keyboard, his expression turning serious as if he had encountered a thorny problem, so he kept his head down looking at the notebook.

Li Yu unexpectedly had patience at this moment; he watched the person opposite, not in a hurry; seeing the cigarette finished, he pressed it out in the ashtray, then pulled a cigarette from the pack beside him; the leaping flame licked the tobacco, and the smell of smoke continued to drift over.

The young man squatting opposite Li Yu seemed not to smoke; he turned his head and coughed a few times. Li Yu paused, then immediately laughed.

"Found it?"

The young man's hands pressed on the keyboard, his ten fingers moving with extreme dexterity and speed; hearing this, he raised his head, glanced at the firelight in the darkness, then lowered it again: "Not yet."

Li Yu took another drag of his cigarette and raised an eyebrow: "Is that all your ability amounts to?... This does not sound like your organization."

After Li Yu said this, he exhaled a mouthful of smoke; the smoke ring floated in the darkness, while the young man opposite finally furrowed his brows and shook his head: "Ning Chen's trail is too difficult to trace... How exactly did you provoke Ning Chen?"

Speaking of this, Li Yu's expression clearly showed a trace of irritation: "He kidnapped our people, and we still do not know where they are. That is why I contacted you; I hope you can find them."

Hearing this, the young man nodded: "This is indeed the style of your organization, but speaking of which, I do not know why you provoked Ning Chen... That guy is extremely difficult to deal with; it is said he holds grudges very well; people in our organization are unwilling to provoke him."

Li Yu said, "Who knows how he provoked us..."

The young man said no more; he operated for a while longer, then pushed the computer towards Li Yu: "Found it... maybe."

Hearing this, Li Yu's expression shook; he immediately raised his head to look at the young man, then his gaze immediately shifted to the computer, scanning it with one glance.

It was Ning Chen's current location.

The young man seemed to breathe a sigh of relief: "His information was truly hard to find, let alone his location. This time, to help you, we went to great lengths to find Ning Chen; as for the reward, give a little more."

Li Yu raised his hand, pressing the cigarette butt out in the ashtray; his mind had already recorded Ning Chen's current location. He then stood up, glanced at the young man, and said, "Fine, as long as the location is accurate."

The young man said, "You can rest assured about our work; the accuracy rate for this address can reach ninety percent. Just send someone to pursue him; we can block him."

Li Yu said, "It had better be so."

Having finished speaking, he stepped past the young man, twisted the door open, and walked out.

The young man watched Li Yu's back and let out a light sigh of relief.

Under normal circumstances, they would not willingly provoke such people, because for them, such an organization was far too massive in scale; if they wanted to contend with it, it would be nearly impossible within such a short time.

Therefore, they did not intend to defy Li Yu; since he wanted to obtain their help, sparing some time to assist him was not a difficult matter.

Moreover, Hu Di had gone missing, and Hu Di's disappearance had angered not just one organization, but an entire class.

These people, accustomed to holding great power and commanding the wind and rain, could not possibly accept the bitter taste of uncertainty and loss.

Ning Chen had challenged the authority of these organizations time and again; for those above, this was already something intolerable. Furthermore, they commanded so many subordinates, and the most important thing was to maintain authority. Ning Chen's appearance was no different from causing panic among the upper echelons, making them ponder what exactly they should do to avoid Ning Chen's attacks.

The name Ning Chen had already become a figure of dread in their class.

The young man slowly packed up his computer, placed it into the computer bag, and as he stood up, cast a glance out the window.

Soon, a fierce battle would take place.

This fierce battle would absolutely not be directed solely at Ning Chen; very likely, the next confrontation with Ning Chen would not involve just one or two organizations, but the entire class.

And no matter how formidable Ning Chen was, he could not compare to the countless organizations across the world. Based on the intelligence he had gathered, Ning Chen was not the type of person who would compromise and submit to others just to survive.

Ning Chen was exactly the kind of person who would rather shatter like jade than remain whole like a tile.

The young man guessed this way; he did not truly know Ning Chen, but judging from the intelligence collected, Ning Chen's true character should be almost exactly as he described.

In truth, no one would not admire such a fearless person. Ning Chen had made too many enemies; a single spittle from each could drown him. If Ning Chen wanted to survive, he would have to seek refuge with other, more powerful organizations.

Perhaps during this process, some powerful organizations would extend an olive branch to Ning Chen, but in the end, without exception, all such offers would be abruptly severed halfway through the message's transmission.

Because Ning Chen simply disdained to associate with them; Ning Chen was an absolute free agent, and he would not survive in those underground, unsavory places just to eke out a meager existence.

Therefore, there would be only one outcome.

Ning Chen would die under the gun barrels brandished by those organizations.

Thinking this, the young man felt somewhat sighful. If Ning Chen shared their stance, he would be a very reassuring partner, but unfortunately, he did not.

Fate had placed them on opposite sides, meaning one side would inevitably have to withdraw; but which side that would be, the young man dared to say he was not even certain.

He dared not speculate rashly.

After Li Yu left the room, he leaned against the door, took out his mobile phone from his pocket, and made a call to the department responsible for deploying personnel across the entire Shanzhuang.

He ordered them to send personnel out as soon as possible to prepare to hunt down Ning Chen.

The Pursuit Above 636 Altitude

Ning Chen woke up after an hour of sleep, still somewhat groggy. When the alarm rang, he almost accidentally knocked his phone off; finally, dragging his two exhausted legs, he slowly shuffled over to the helicopter.

The pilot, wearing protective goggles, looked down, saw Ning Chen approaching, unfastened his seatbelt, jumped down from the helicopter, and adjusted his goggles: "Hi, boss."
