Chapter 728

~8 min read 1,432 words

Not far away, the girl looked at Ning Chen, narrowed her eyes slightly, and tilted her head.

With a swish, the girl reappeared before the middle-aged man.

"Damn it!"

The girl's speed was simply too fast; even though the middle-aged man blocked her attack this time, he still took a bit of impact.

"Ugh!"

The middle-aged man felt a heaviness in his chest, and blood slowly trickled from the corner of his mouth.

Seeing the blood at the corner of the middle-aged man's mouth, the girl became even more excited; the corners of her mouth curled up, her right hand slowly clenched into a fist, and just as she was about to strike his abdomen, the middle-aged man smiled.

"Little girl, Uncle isn't weak either."

As he finished speaking, suddenly, the girl leaped into the air.

She hadn't even seen the middle-aged man's move before she was sent flying.

The sound of crackling and crashing came as the girl was knocked flying, smashing several research crates she hit.

She hurriedly stood up, looked at the shattered research crates, and immediately felt a bit nervous.

"What, are you heartbroken because this research crate was smashed?"

The middle-aged man retracted his fist, looked at the girl, and slowly smiled.

Just as the girl, in anger, wanted to strike the man again, a voice sounded.

"He's coming back soon; finish it quickly."

When the voice sounded, a light flashed by the middle-aged man's ear; the moment he raised his hand, Ning Chen clearly saw the pattern on the back of his hand.

The pattern on the man in the elevator and the pattern on the middle-aged man before him were the same.

And just as the news had spread, Ye Lisi had already appeared downstairs at the headquarters.

Ning Chen also sensed his presence; looking at the two men radiating killing intent, he straightened up.

"I'll take care of two, you take care of one."

"Hah? What are you saying, kid?"

Just as the middle-aged man opened his mouth to ask, Ning Chen moved his body and instantly teleported before the girl.

At that moment, the middle-aged man suddenly felt a chill from behind; he jumped back sharply and saw the person behind him.

The girl was clearly a speed-type opponent, but Ning Chen was faster than her; after a few rounds of comparison between the two, the girl gradually fell into a disadvantage, and she glanced at the black-clad man to the side.

"What are you still waiting for!"

Hearing the words the girl spoke, Ning Chen raised an eyebrow and calmly shifted one body-length to the right.

On the left, exactly where Ning Chen had just been, the black-clad man holding a dagger landed.

Ning Chen tilted his head and glanced at him indifferently, lifted his foot—thud! The black-clad man was instantly sent flying.

The girl widened her eyes looking at Ning Chen's move; she stammered, "How is that possible!"

As she finished speaking, the girl glared at Ning Chen before her with gritted teeth.

How was it possible? They were already strong enough, this man before them.

Stronger than them!

As she was thinking this, the next second, Ning Chen had already arrived before her.

Before she could even react, darkness fell before the girl's eyes; she knelt down and fainted.

After finishing off the two on this side, Ning Chen looked back toward the middle-aged man; seeing the two still locked in a life-or-death struggle, he chose to obediently wait on the side, acting as an observer, watching their fight.

"Damn it, this is so hard to fight; is that kid screwing me over!"

While complaining, the middle-aged man wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth; when he turned back to check on Ning Chen's situation, he found the other party leaning against the wall leisurely, watching his direction.

Wow, taking on two and finishing so fast; this guy is a monster!

Having just turned to glance at Ning Chen, the man before him threw a punch, nearly landing right on his face.

"Don't rush, don't rush."

The middle-aged man chuckled and tried to persuade the man, but how could the man pay any attention to his words; the next second, he moved his body and launched another attack against him.

"An impatient young man."

As the words fell, the middle-aged man glanced toward Ning Chen's position.

With just that glance, Ning Chen suddenly felt something was wrong.

By the time he reacted, the middle-aged man's hand had already grabbed his hand, and the two of them leaned against the wall side by side.

"Uncle."

With his hand grabbed like that, Ning Chen felt extremely uncomfortable all over.

"Shh, if you move, he'll discover us."

As the middle-aged man spoke, he saw the man before them looking confusedly toward the two of them, yet he saw absolutely nothing.

"Where are they?"

The man spoke, and it was the very voice that had given the notification earlier.

Seeing the empty room around them, the man frowned and walked toward the two fallen companions, but his vigilance never disappeared.

Ning Chen pressed his lips together, his full attention fixed on the hand the middle-aged man was holding.

The discomfort all over his body prevented Ning Chen's mind from calming down; his palm began to sweat constantly, and finally, suddenly, he let go of the middle-aged man's hand.

Just like that, the man who was checking on the two fallen ones looked over in their direction.

Ning Chen's entire body was thus exposed within his line of sight.

"Kid!"

The middle-aged man clicked his tongue, exposed himself as well, and yanked Ning Chen behind him; "Kid, hide behind me, and you'll return safely."

The middle-aged man had clearly seen Ning Chen fighting two opponents at once, yet he still shielded him behind his back.

Ning Chen watched his back, stepped out calmly, and said, "I can handle it myself."

Hearing him speak so lightly, the middle-aged man still wanted to say something.

The next second, with a boom, Ning Chen and the man rushed out almost simultaneously; their fists collided, causing the area around Ning Chen to slowly collapse continuously until finally the man was sent flying.

"Damn."

Watching Ning Chen stand steadily, the middle-aged man let out a sigh from the bottom of his heart.

He truly had not expected the organization's helper to be so powerful.

Just as he thought this, Ning Chen slowly walked out from the collapsed spot, looked at the middle-aged man beside him, and said, "Let's go."

As he finished speaking, he glanced at the middle-aged man, then walked inside.

The middle-aged man nodded, raised his hand, and checked the watch on his wrist.

Time was already very tight; if they were even a step slow, they feared Ye Lisi would catch them.

Although he had doubts about Ning Chen in his heart, he rationally placed them at the very end of the plan.

Ning Chen moved quickly; when he extended his divine sense, he had already discovered that Ye Lisi was searching for intruders.

Looking at the many research boxes before him, when he turned to look back at the middle-aged man, he had already discovered that the man had installed explosives on several of those research boxes.

Ning Chen paid no attention to it and walked straight ahead.

When he extended his divine sense, he discovered something ahead.

Having taken only a few steps, Ning Chen suddenly stopped.

Ye Lisi had already boarded the elevator, and the floor he selected was precisely the one where the two of them were located.

He turned around and said to the middle-aged man who was still installing explosives, "Ye Lisi is coming up."

"What? How do you know?"

The middle-aged man quickly finished installing the last explosive, stood up, and wore a look of confusion.

"Go."

Ning Chen said no more and instead led the middle-aged man deeper inside.

"Didn't you say Ye Lisi was coming? Then why are you walking deeper inside? Shouldn't we be walking out?"

Hearing the middle-aged man's confusion, Ning Chen said no more.

He sensed a living being right there in the depths.

And he had a feeling that this living being could point out a path to survival for the two of them.

"Are you sure it is on this floor?"

When Ye Lisi brought his people to the 40th floor, his face had turned completely dark.

This floor has always been closed to the public; if Ning Chen had infiltrated it, it would mean all his secrets had been discovered.
