The Beauty CEO's Personal Expert

"It's simple, we can send someone outside to call the police. Before the police arrive, why don't we try and see if we can rescue those people? What does everyone think?"

"Not bad. I think this suggestion is very good." As soon as Wang Hao finished speaking, someone immediately agreed.

"I think so too. But who do you think is suitable to call the police?"

Wang Hao smiled slightly and scanned the people with his eyes, finally locking onto Ling Chen.

Feeling Wang Hao's gaze, Ling Chen frowned slightly. Could it be that this guy wants me to go out and call the police? While pondering, he heard Wang Hao say, "There's no danger in calling the police, so why not let the weakest among us go, everyone agree?"

"Okay."

Everyone nodded and then focused their eyes on Ling Chen. Among these people, Ling Chen was the youngest. In their view, even though Ling Chen's strength had reached the Earthly List, he was still considered the weakest among them. So, letting Ling Chen call the police was undoubtedly the best choice.

Ling Chen touched his nose, shrugged, and said, "Since everyone has nominated me, I'll go and call the police." After a pause, Ling Chen continued, "Another thing, I just found a survivor in the villa over there. According to the clues he provided, others might be locked in the underground warehouse in the northeast of the villa area. If you want to rescue them, you can go and have a look there."

Wang Hao said unhappily, "Why didn't you tell us such important information earlier?"

"Didn't I just say?" Ling Chen replied, "I was just suspecting they were locked in the warehouse, you guys..."

"Enough!" Before Ling Chen could finish, Wang Hao impatiently cut him off, "Don't worry about these things, we know what to do. You just focus on your part. Everyone, let's go!"

With that, Wang Hao led the group straight to the northeast of the villa area.

Watching Wang Hao and others leave, Ling Chen smiled to himself. Not letting him go, he was just as happy not to. There was bound to be a fight. However, what bothered Ling Chen the most was Wang Hao's attitude. That guy acted so bossy, as if he really thought of himself as the leader, requiring everyone to follow his arrangements.

If it weren't for Ling Chen's suggestion and information, Wang Hao wouldn't have made those arrangements.

Forget it! Why bother with someone like him?

Adjusting his mood, Ling Chen immediately headed out of the villa. Since the surveillance cameras in the villa had been destroyed, Ling Chen wasn't afraid of being secretly watched. Not long after, he reached the villa's exit.

Seeing the sealed gate, Ling Chen climbed over the nearby wall. Reaching the closest road, Ling Chen took out his phone and dialed the emergency number. Indeed, after leaving the villa's shielded area, the phone could be used normally.

After calling the police, Ling Chen put away his phone and turned back towards the villa area. No way could he ignore He Ziyun's uncertain whereabouts; he couldn't remain indifferent while knowing He Ziyun might be in danger.

At this moment, outside the villa's warehouse, Wang Hao and the others hid on both sides of the corridor, observing the surroundings of the warehouse.

After a while, Wang Hao gestured to Gong Xiong and others nearby. Immediately, the group split into two teams and swiftly approached the warehouse door.

The warehouse door was made of steel plates, locked with a large lock from the outside. However, they noticed that the iron lock had been destroyed and discarded casually on the ground.

"Everyone, be careful." Wang Hao instructed, then suddenly kicked the iron door open and rushed inside.

Simultaneously, Gong Xiong, Heavenly Mechanism Jijiang, and others followed closely, rushing into the warehouse together.

However, the moment they entered the warehouse, blinding lights suddenly shone upon them. Instantly, everyone raised their hands to block the light, instinctively closing their eyes, not daring to face the glaring lights directly.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I advise you to be smart and surrender quietly without making futile resistance."

As the voice sounded, Wang Hao's expression changed slightly, he shouted coldly, "Who are you?" As he spoke, he struggled to open his eyes to see the speaker. But under the blinding light, Wang Hao's vision was hindered, everything was blurry, and only a vague human silhouette could barely be made out.

Gritting his teeth, Wang Hao tapped his toe lightly, and his body instantly rushed forward.

Bang!

Suddenly, a gust of wind hit, and before Wang Hao could react, he felt a pain in his abdomen, and his body flew backward, landing heavily on the ground.

From start to finish, Wang Hao never found the attacker's whereabouts. Not only him, but even the others didn't notice. The blinding lights were too intense, with visibility less than a meter.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I suggest you be more sensible and stop resisting." The voice rang out again.

Gong Xiong snorted coldly, shouted, "What's with the chatter, just take them out."

As Gong Xiong's words fell, without hesitation, everyone dashed towards the edge of the light, trying to escape the intense beams.

"Hmph! A bunch of clueless folks, since you asked for it, don't blame us for being rude. Fire!"

At the command, a series of 'whoosh whoosh' sounds cut through the air from above.

Before anyone could see clearly what it was, they felt as though their bodies were pierced by arrows, the pain was excruciating. Moreover, as the pain spread, they found their limbs inexplicably weak, unable to even stand.

In the blink of an eye, seven or eight people had fallen to the ground, leaving only a few with stronger abilities struggling to hold out. However, they didn't last long before collapsing, unable to move.

Once everyone had lost their ability to move, the glaring lights were finally turned off, and everyone's vision gradually recovered.

At that moment, around the warehouse, dozens of people were squatting — chefs of the villa, waitstaff, event organizers, security, and others who had come for the martial arts seminar.

Everyone's hands were bound behind their backs, feet tied with ropes, and mouths gagged, unable to speak.

Seeing this scene, Wang Hao's face turned incredibly grim. They originally intended to rescue these people, but instead, ended up trapping themselves.

He never imagined the opponent would use this strategy against them.

Miscalculation! A huge miscalculation!

If only he had known, he wouldn't have led everyone rushing in so hastily, unprepared.

However, rather than calling it a miscalculation, it was more about Wang Hao's own lack of capability. Even though Wang Hao was powerful, his experience in this area was zero, incomparable to Ling Chen.
