Chapter 719

"Ye Lisi leans toward firepower research; their organization possesses various new equipment and boasts extremely fierce firepower. Though they have few people, every single one is a death knight of the organization."

640 Agreed Matters, Confirm Departure Time

Hearing Hua Ping paused, then continued: "I heard Ye Lisi had a conflict with the mercenary band before, but the mercenary band was almost completely defeated."

Did Ning Chen's expression finally grew a bit more serious: "... The mercenary band isn't considered too powerful, but since Ye Lisi achieved a crushing victory, we cannot underestimate Ye Lisi."

Hearing Hua Ping said: "Of course, I am shocked that you have any connection with this organization. According to logic, you were just going there to clock in, yet you managed to provoke Ye Lisi..."

Did Ning Chen sighed: "I don't seek trouble, but trouble will come to find me anyway."

Hearing Hua Ping shrugged, neither confirming nor denying Did Ning Chen's words: "It is quite troublesome, but if you need our help, just ask. We will do our best to help you."

Did Ning Chen smiled lightly, looking much more relaxed: "That is unnecessary. I can handle it alone. This time they came with the determination to kill me. I fear if you come to help me, it will only add trouble for me."

Hearing Hua Ping's smile faded somewhat, but he understood that Did Ning Chen was completely right. Although they were also professionally trained, the gap between them and the personnel in those organizations remained huge. Bridging this gap in a short time was almost impossible.

But Did Ning Chen possessed such ability; he alone could contend with the entire organization. Although Hearing Hua Ping did not believe Did Ning Chen could wipe out the Gulf Family and the mercenary band single-handedly before meeting him, he actually did it.

The Gulf Family and the mercenary band were extremely active for a long time, restricting their group of police officers everywhere. Now that they are all resolved, it counts as a huge favor to them.

So Hearing Hua Ping will definitely help with this favor from Did Ning Chen, as long as Did Ning Chen has a need.

"Then let's not talk about those things for now. Since Ye Lisi has turned murderous intent toward you, you should be careful recently," Hearing Hua Ping said. "Their style of action is decisive and ruthless. Almost everyone who provokes people from this organization does not survive a week... I am not sure how many people they sent to hunt you down, but it looks like you face more danger than safety recently."

Did Ning Chen pressed his temples: "Hmm, I haven't rested much recently. It doesn't matter if they come to chase me; I would even welcome them emptying a headquarters to kill me. However, if they do not come to find me, I will go to meet them."

Xu Si, listening from the side, was startled: "What do you mean...?"

"My meaning is, if the mountain does not come to me, I will go to meet the mountain," Did Ning Chen said. "In short, I will definitely eradicate that organization completely, no matter the reason."

He thought for a moment, then added: "Moreover, letting that organization continue to grow there will have a huge impact on you later, won't it? They are pests anyway. Cleaning them up sooner is good for both you and me."

Hearing Hua Ping heard this, and some emotion surged in the depths of his eyes, but he finally slowly shook his head: "Compared to that, I hope more that you survive... After all, only if you survive can we talk about cooperation."

That was true indeed. Did Ning Chen thought for a moment and added: "But I also do not feel I will die."

Hearing Hua Ping could only force a smile. Actually, he was not unaware that Did Ning Chen could easily handle those situations; it was just that, in his view, that organization was indeed very difficult to provoke.

The farther away, the better. Although Did Ning Chen inevitably waded into this muddy water, Hearing Hua Ping ultimately only hoped Did Ning Chen could survive.

Did Ning Chen finished saying what he needed to say, then extended his hand, placing it before Hearing Hua Ping, and said with a smile: "Before I mention it actively, I hope you do not send reinforcements to me. Pleasant cooperation."

Hearing Hua Ping placed his hand on top, saying with a bitter smile: "... Rest assured, we will not add trouble for you."

Did Ning Chen always spoke very directly. For things that did not require him to be too sad, he was unwilling to waste much effort on words. He spoke concisely: "That is good. Besides that, the few people I brought back from Cangbei need your extra attention. Thank you."

Hearing Hua Ping sighed helplessly, but still nodded.

Since becoming the Chief, no one had spoken to him in this tone for a long time. After shaking hands, Hearing Hua Ping naturally withdrew his hand and said: "The remaining matters do not need your worry. I hope we will see you again."

Did Ning Chen nodded: "Yes, rest assured. I usually do not do things without confidence."

After saying this sentence, Did Ning Chen walked to the door. After pressing the door handle, Did Ning Chen turned his head back.

Hearing Hua Ping and Xu Si thought Did Ning Chen was leaving, so they moved around to the chairs behind the conference table, seemingly preparing to chat about something.

After Did Ning Chen turned his head back, Hearing Hua Ping looked up again: "Is there anything else?"

Did Ning Chen said: "How is the situation over at Chu Muyu's end?"

Hearing this question, Hearing Hua Ping answered quickly: "Everything is still okay. After all, they have just arrived in Cangbei. If there are other situations, I will notify you in time."

Did Ning Chen seemed to relax: "That is good."

Hearing Hua Ping pondered for a moment: "However, if something really happens over there, you may not be able to support in time. After all, Cangbei is still too far, and you cannot get away recently."

Did Ning Chen nodded: "That is true indeed, but if I am free or have time, I will definitely go over there."

After all, if Chu Muyu was lost, the loss for them would be huge. Did Ning Chen had worked hard to bring Chu Muyu out of Cangbei. If Chu Muyu encountered danger in Cangbei again, it would prove that all of Did Ning Chen's efforts were in vain.

Hearing Hua Ping remembered something, and his expression changed bit by bit: "But to speak truly, that place is not considered too safe either. After all, you understand Cangbei. If it were not for rescuing other hostages and arresting criminals, we would not consider sending police to work there."

"Hmm," Did Ning Chen responded. "That place is indeed not very safe."

Did Ning Chen could not put his heart at ease from beginning to end. On one hand, he felt that if Chu Muyu was lost in Cangbei again, all his efforts would be in vain. On the other hand, he felt that Chu Muyu, a person like that, dying in a foreign land for no reason, would be a loss for their side.

So Did Ning Chen must ensure Chu Muyu can survive.

It just seemed not that simple. The strength of the people in Cangbei was not fake either. If they confronted them head-on, it would probably be harder to deal with than Ye Lisi. After all, Cangbei is a country. When Did Ning Chen makes an enemy of a country, the energy he spends on this will be much greater.

Did Ning Chen did not want to invite trouble for himself. He planned to wait a bit longer. If Chu Muyu's side was truly difficult to handle, he would go to help the other party; otherwise, going directly now would be too much waste of time and energy.

Finally, before Did Ning Chen left, Hearing Hua Ping asked him: "When do you plan to meet with Ye Lisi's people?"

Did Ning Chen thought for a moment. Actually, he did not know when to go, but he always felt that going too early or too late was not quite right. Especially going too late; time is one of the uncontrollable factors. If during this period Ye Lisi's people could not hold back and revealed his matter, Did Ning Chen could almost predict the result.

So Did Ning Chen roughly gave a number: "Three days later, I guess."

Hearing Hua Ping thought thoughtfully: "That could work... But are you not afraid of unexpected situations over there?"

Did Ning Chen answered: "That is not within my scope of control. This depends on you. After I finish dealing with Ye Lisi, I will turn back to help Chu Muyu. One thing at a time."

Did Ning Chen handled things with more order and planned quite clearly. This is one of the reasons why he could remain organized even while doing so many things.

Hearing Hua Ping was quite willing to take on this task. Chu Muyu being able to return to the country was already a difficult matter. If Did Ning Chen needed their support, Hearing Hua Ping would dispatch more police officers.

After Did Ning Chen briefly finished telling them his next plan, he left the police station. He thought it was time for him to rest a bit. Since taking on that clock-in task, he had not rested properly.

Even the holiday the System gave him, Did Ning Chen had not enjoyed properly.

Did Ning Chen walked along the road while secretly thinking.

Next time, he must make the System give him a few more days of holiday. After all, the clock-in task was completed, yet it subsequently involved so many other things, truly leaving him exhausted in body and mind.

Did Ning Chen said to the System: "Wait until I finish cleaning up the Ye Lisi matter, then I will rest for a few more days. I have been tired for so long and have never really relaxed."

The System heard him say this, remained silent for a few seconds, then said: "Cleaning up Ye Lisi was your own idea. No one forced you to do it."

Did Ning Chen rubbed his brow, and his expression suddenly grew a bit irritable: "Alright then, prepare a car for me. I still have to go to the Ye Lisi headquarters once."

Regarding Did Ning Chen's request, the System could agree. Having followed Did Ning Chen for so long, the System knew Did Ning Chen's personality. He was not a person who would cling on stubbornly. On the contrary, Did Ning Chen had his own principles for handling affairs.

So the System said: "Depart in one day. At that time, I will tell you the headquarters address. Pay attention."

Did Ning Chen nodded, extended his hand to hail a car, and headed straight for his home.

The several scientists who had been staying at his home temporarily before he last left must have already departed; after all, they had been trapped in Cangbei for a long time without returning home, and each was eager to go back.

But it was for the best that they left; although there might be dangers on their journey, that was no longer something Ning Chen could interfere with.

Ning Chen entered a string of passwords and opened the door.

It felt the same as before; Ning Chen used to spray air freshener at home, all scents Si Shiya liked. Now, although Si Shiya was gone, Ning Chen still had not put away the several bottles of air freshener left on the balcony.

Sometimes he would see an object and think of the person; returning home often meant smelling this scent, so after coming home, Ning Chen missed her almost every moment.

He simply never knew where to look; Si Shiya was like a kite with a broken string. Originally, the string was in Ning Chen's hands, but now the kite string had snapped, and the connection between the two had vanished.

Ning Chen changed his shoes at the entrance and walked into the living room wearing slippers.

Everything here was very clean, as if someone had tidied it up specifically. Ning Chen paused for a moment, looking at the neatly arranged cushions on the sofa, and then remembered that the three scientists must have tidied up before they left.

Ning Chen smiled slowly, picked up a glass cup from the table, walked to the kitchen to pour himself a glass of water, then leaned against the cabinet, drinking water while slowly taking in this home.

Except for the positions of some items being slightly different from before he left, everything else was fine; there was still the familiar scent and the familiar feeling. This was indeed the house Ning Chen had lived in for five or six years.

It seemed only after returning home could he catch his breath; there were too many things outside, too much turmoil, and Ning Chen was somewhat unwilling to deal with them. Only after returning home did he dare to relax.

His gaze fell on the wall clock to his right; it was already three o'clock in the afternoon. Normally at this time, Ning Chen should be taking a nap at home, or going to pick up Si Shiya returning from school.

But he had just returned from the police station, covered in dust and exhaustion. After finishing that glass of water, Ning Chen let out a long sigh, as if trying to expel all the fatigue of these past few days with his breath.

Ning Chen went to the bathroom to take a shower, then sat on the sofa.

He did not like watching television; such a large house with only him in it felt somewhat lonely and desolate. Ning Chen lay on his back on the sofa, listlessly taking out his phone from his pants and casually scrolling through news, swiping through an entire night.

Until he saw the headline news: "Does the world really have superpowered individuals?"

Ning Chen froze instantly.

He tapped with his thumb, clicked into the headline, and after entering, scrolled down; a long string of nothing but text appeared.

Ning Chen did not even want to look at those words; he had seen too many news items like this, and he had seen too many headlines like this.

But this time, the news concerned himself; if he had truly been photographed while using his skill, the consequences were unpredictable.

Finally, he scrolled to the very bottom and saw that photograph.

It was indeed a photograph; the shooting angle should have been from the ground. On this image, a massive rift torn open could be seen, exactly the same as the thing that appeared when Ning Chen used his skill.

With just one glance, Ning Chen could confirm this was absolutely the product of his skill usage, and after enlarging the photo, one could vaguely make out the dozen or so helicopters behind the helicopter Ning Chen was in.

Ning Chen truly did not expect that the Ye Lisi organization had not leaked his affairs, but instead some civilians had seen it, taken photos, and used them as evidence. Only then did Ning Chen go back to read those text descriptions; after reading for a while, he actually felt the descriptions of those images were quite convincing.

His heartbeat accelerated slightly, and he scrolled to the very bottom to read the comments.

Fortunately, those comments made him breathe a sigh of relief.

"I mean, if you're going to make up a story, at least make the pictures a bit more realistic, right? You wrote a bunch of text there; I don't even want to look."

"... The special effects on this picture are too fake; you should have spent a bit more money to hire a better Master. The credibility is zero."

"They've been spreading rumors about aliens for decades; do you think they'll really come to Earth through this black hole?"

"Read. The picture is very fake, and the text is smelly and long."
