Super Strong Little Divine Farmer

"Not interested." Lin Chen shook his head directly.

Now that he's become an advisor for the Dragon Group, it's already troublesome enough. Joining the Nine Dragon Group would probably make it even harder to get out.

Just as Long San was about to say something, Lin Chen interrupted, "Now's not the time to discuss this. This base is just one of them. There must be other bases like this in other parts of China. We need to interrogate this guy right now."

The leader of the base was a pushover and quickly confessed everything he knew.

Yuan Tiangang established a total of four bases across China, located in Liaodong, the Southwest, the Southeast, and the Northwest.

Lin Chen and the others destroyed the Northwestern base.

"Lin Chen, I'll head back to report immediately. The other three bases must be eliminated right away. We can't let them harm the people of China," Long San said solemnly.

Lin Chen nodded, "I'll leave the locations of the other three bases for you to scout. Call me when it's time to act."

Yuan Tiangang's whereabouts were still unknown, and Xiaohua could very well be in one of the other three bases. Therefore, Lin Chen had to participate in the operation to eliminate the bases.

"Don't worry, we'll dig out those three lairs as soon as possible and contact you then." Long San chuckled.

"This operation wouldn't have succeeded without you, Brother Lin Chen. I'll definitely report back and get you a big certificate of merit," Long San laughed.

"Forget it. Keep the certificate. Something more practical would be nice," Lin Chen said helplessly.

"It's the highest honor. Many people want it but can't get it," Long San replied.

Lin Chen chatted with Long San, Wu Tianshi, and Monk Wei for a while longer until dawn when they finally boarded the military vehicle and left.

"Whew!" Watching the helicopter hovering in the sky, Lin Chen let out a long sigh of relief.

With the capabilities of the Dragon Group, they would probably find the locations of those three bases soon. Then it would be time to settle accounts with Yuan Tiangang.

Lin Chen left the Dragon Group and drove back to the Qiao Group.

But the secretary said that Qiao Xue hadn't come to work today.

Lin Chen paused in surprise. Qiao Xue was a workaholic; how could she not be at work?

He tried calling Qiao Xue, but her phone was turned off.

Lin Chen's eyes narrowed slightly as he had a feeling that something had happened to Qiao Xue.

At that moment, Lin Chen's phone suddenly rang.

He answered, and a sinister voice came through the line.

"Hello, you must be Lin Chen. Your wife is with me."

"Lin Chen, save me..." Qiao Xue's voice came through the phone.

But before Lin Chen could say anything to Qiao Xue, the man's voice came again, "You're really lucky. This woman is so beautiful, stunning, absolutely gorgeous. If I could lay her on the bed and have my way with her, it would be immensely enjoyable."

Hearing the sinister voice on the phone, Lin Chen's expression darkened.

"Who are you, and what do you want?" Lin Chen asked coldly.

"If you want your wife to live, don't call the police. You have three hours. Come to Taicheng obediently. We'll contact you when you arrive. Remember, you only have three hours. If you can't make it or call the police, you know what will happen."

Three hours!

Taicheng is the capital of Shan Province and borders West Province. Driving there takes two and a half hours, plus half an hour in the city—exactly three hours.

The opponent was very cunning, giving Lin Chen no leeway at all.

Lin Chen hung up and started the car.

The car sped down the highway as Lin Chen pondered who could have kidnapped Qiao Xue.

Among the suspects, Xu Zhiruo was the most suspicious, but Lin Chen had a feeling that she wasn't behind this.

This woman was very intelligent, and she had suffered losses at his hands twice already. With her intellect, she wouldn't do something that would provoke him into a rage.

The other suspect was Yuan Tiangang.

Lin Chen had just destroyed one of his strongholds. It would be normal for Yuan Tiangang to kidnap his girlfriend in retaliation.

Lin Chen looked ahead, his eyes filled with icy coldness.

No matter who it was, touching his woman meant provoking his deepest wrath.

Though Qiao Xue appeared cold on the outside, she was a kind girl.

If he implicated Qiao Xue because of himself, it would definitely be a huge injustice to her.

Throughout the drive, Lin Chen almost floored the gas pedal, and the car sped down the highway like an arrow.

"Xiaoshuai, have you located where the guy who just called is?" Lin Chen asked.

"That guy is very cunning. He was calling from a moving vehicle, so the location kept changing. But I've locked onto his car; it's heading to an abandoned factory on the outskirts of Taicheng."

"Good, I get it."

Although he had entered Taicheng's city limits, Lin Chen didn't slow down at all.

According to the agreed time, Lin Chen should have been on the highway, but the opponent never imagined that Lin Chen had already reached Taicheng and was tracking them down.

About ten minutes later, Lin Chen arrived in Taishi.

The time was just over two hours and ten minutes.

Lin Chen looked at the three slowly approaching business sedans, his eyes flashing with a cold glint.

He dialed the opponent's number and said, "I'm almost in Taishi. Where should I go?"

"Get off the highway and take the express road to Taishi Fertilizer Plant," a cold voice instructed.

Lin Chen glanced around. He was already parked near the fertilizer plant.

"Master, the caller is in the middle car," Xiaoshuai reminded.

Using his X-ray vision, Lin Chen looked inside the car. Sure enough, Qiao Xue was tied up in the backseat, and beside her sat a middle-aged man wearing sunglasses, holding a phone and speaking with Lin Chen.

Several burly men were also in the car. Judging by their upright postures, it was clear they were military-trained.

"You dare kidnap a woman of Lin Chen's? You're courting death," Lin Chen's gaze turned cold.

"Ha ha, Lin Chen, don't get cocky. Once you're out of your turf in Xicheng and into Taicheng, you better behave, whether you're a dragon or a tiger," the opponent taunted.

"Is that so? See you in a bit," Lin Chen said before hanging up the phone.

By this time, the three business sedans had driven into the factory.

Lin Chen got out of his car and, with a few agile moves, followed them into the factory.

The three business sedans stopped in front of an abandoned workshop. The car doors opened, and the people inside got out.

Two burly men pushed Qiao Xue towards the warehouse. Her eyes were covered, and her hands were tied, leaving her at their mercy. They pushed her into the factory.

Once inside the workshop, the two burly men tied Qiao Xue to a pillar.

One of the burly men gazed greedily at Qiao Xue, unable to resist running his filthy hands over her.

Not only did the man in sunglasses not stop his behavior, but he also let out a grating laugh, "Second Baldy, you're really pathetic. Can't you hold back a bit? Once we kill that guy, this chick is yours to play with as you please."
