The Beauty CEO's Personal Expert

With Qiu Yong and others paving the way, and Yu Peng and Liu Kui falling into Xu Ming's hands, who dared to block their escape?

"Wait!" As they passed by Yu Peng's office, Tang Guolun suddenly halted the group, saying, "Ling Chen, hold on a moment, I'll go in and take a look." After speaking, Tang Guolun quickly walked towards Yu Peng's office. As he was about to open the door, he suddenly remembered something, turned around, and pointed at the unconscious Yu Peng, saying, "Leave him here."

Afraid of wasting time, Ling Chen instructed Qiu Yong to lead the others out first. He himself dragged Yu Peng by the collar and accompanied Tang Guolun into the office.

Ling Chen had been to Yu Peng's office once before. Upon entering, he saw Tang Guolun walking straight to Yu Peng's desk. Reaching the desk, Tang Guolun sat in the office chair, turned on the computer, and a window immediately appeared on the screen requiring a password for login.

Watching Tang Guolun type away furiously, Ling Chen couldn't help but ask, "Boss Tang, can you do this or not? We don't have much time."

Tang Guolun silently stared at the code rolling on the screen, seemingly oblivious to Ling Chen's words. Two minutes passed, and a slight smile of satisfaction spread across Tang Guolun's face.

"Ling Chen, see this? Just as I thought, this guy used prisoners to pursue his own interests, illegally profiting from it. Look, here's the record of his earnings. During his administration of Yan City Prison, he made eighty million US dollars in total. Hmph! Who knows how much he'll accumulate by the time he retires as Prison Director."

Upon hearing this, Ling Chen curiously asked, "What exactly did he do?"

Tang Guolun flipped through the records, saying with derision, "This guy accepted clandestine contracts, assassinated targets—he'd do almost anything as long as it paid." With that, Tang Guolun found a USB stick in the desk drawer, plugged it into the computer, and copied all the information onto it.

Once the transfer was complete, Tang Guolun tossed the USB to Ling Chen, saying, "All this is evidence of Yu Peng's crimes. I'm entrusting it to you; it might come in handy for you someday."

Ling Chen nodded, securely tucking the USB away. Seeing that Tang Guolun was still busy at the computer with no intention of leaving, he couldn't help but ask, "Is there something else?"

Tang Guolun replied without looking up, "Haven't you forgotten that we all have microtracking chips implanted? If we don't disable these trackers, they'll find us no matter where we escape to." Pausing, Tang Guolun explained, "Yu Peng's computer is connected to the control center system. With Yu Peng's authorization, this computer can take over all functions of the control center."

As he spoke, Tang Guolun pointed at the unconscious Yu Peng and then at the fingerprint scanner next to the computer.

Seeing the gesture, Ling Chen immediately understood Tang Guolun's intention. He quickly picked up Yu Peng's thumb and placed it on the fingerprint scanner.

Beep!

As the red light on the fingerprint scanner turned green, a special interface immediately appeared on the computer screen.

Tang Guolun focused intently on the screen, his hands flying over the keyboard. Soon, all the lights in Yan City Prison went out, leaving only the computer that Tang Guolun was using powered.

"OK! It's done." After working for several minutes, Tang Guolun grinned and said, "Let's go. We've bypassed the control center's authority, no one can stop us now."

With that, Tang Guolun strode towards the office door.

After walking for two or three minutes, Ling Chen, surprised, discovered that the prison's checkpoints were all inactive. Apart from a few emergency lights illuminating the corridors, everything else was engulfed in darkness; all facilities were paralyzed.

Before long, Ling Chen and two others smoothly exited Yan City Prison without encountering a single obstacle.

Outside the prison, Ling Chen quickly spotted Wei Jiahao standing by the roadside, anxiously waiting for them.

"Brother Eight!" Ling Chen waved and called out to Wei Jiahao not far away.

"Brother Six." Wei Jiahao's face lit up with joy. He hurried over, urging, "Brother Six, we need to go now. I just got a call from Brother Three—the prison reinforcements are on their way, they'll arrive in a minute."

"Got it."

Just after Ling Chen and his group had left, three military transport trucks arrived at the Yan City Prison entrance. At this moment, Yan City Prison's electrical system was severed, plunging all facilities into chaos.

Consequently, prisoners from Yan City Prison were completely out of control, frantically escaping to the outside.

Fortunately, the reinforcements arrived promptly, securing the prison exit before the prisoners could escape and rounding them all up without letting anyone slip away.

An hour later.

In a Martial Arts Academy located in Beijing, Ling Chen met with Qiu Yong, Wu Zhaofeng, and others.

"Big Brother!" Ling Chen greeted everyone one by one.

Yuan Yun patted Ling Chen on the shoulder and chuckled, "You kid finally made it out. Your big brother and I didn't know what to do. When we first heard you were locked up in Yan City Prison, we just wanted to bust you out immediately. Then Mr. He found us and advised patience, not to be impulsive. He said they had a way to get you out. So, we stayed put in Beijing awaiting word. Eventually, a guy named Pang Jiulin approached us, saying he had a message from you. Once we learned the message, we knew you were in danger."

Ling Chen grinned, "You were spot on, Brother Three."

The message Ling Chen sent via Pang Jiulin was simple; outsiders wouldn't understand the gravity of it. Ling Chen purposefully mentioned 'Brother Three' in that message—a reference not to Yuan Yun, but to his old Brother Three who perished at the hands of the God Organization. It was his Brother Three's death that allowed Ling Chen the chance to join the Eight Wonders.

Thus, Ling Chen intentionally brought up Brother Three to signal Qiu Yong and the others that he was in dire straits, his life was constantly in danger.

This is why Qiu Yong and the team remained hidden outside Yan City prison, awaiting the right moment for rescue.

When Yan City Prison's alarms sounded, Qiu Yong understood that the timing was perfect. With their skills, secretly infiltrating Yan City Prison was a cinch.

"Brother Six," Xu Ming, who had remained silent, spoke up, "I actually understand why Mr. He didn't want us to save you. You're a convict, and what we did amounts to a jailbreak—in the eyes of the law, we've all committed a crime. Mr. He considered this factor, which is why he restrained us from acting. Now that you've been rescued, what's your plan moving forward?"

"I'm not sure yet."
