Chapter 873: Old Friend Escapes from Danger



It wasn't long before the doctor from the special care ward came out. Ling Chen and Hu Fei rushed over, eagerly asking, "Doctor, how's my friend's condition?"

"The body is generally fine, but one of them has severe brain injury and is still in a coma. When she'll wake up depends on her fate."

"And the other?"

"His body's recovering quite fast, and he's fully conscious. You can go in and see him. But, don't talk too long. He just recovered and needs time to rest."

"Okay, thank you, doctor."

After inquiring about the patient's condition, Ling Chen and Hu Fei quickly walked into the special care ward.

At this moment, in the special care ward, Bai Huanjun lay on the bed, eyes open. Aside from looking a bit weak, he didn't seem like a critically ill patient.

Seeing Ling Chen enter from outside, Bai Huanjun's eyes lit up slightly as he struggled to sit up on the bed.

"Don't move!" Ling Chen hurriedly stopped Bai Huanjun, saying, "Your body hasn't fully recovered, just lie still for now, don't move around."

"No worries." Bai Huanjun smiled nonchalantly. "I've been lying here so long, my body's almost rusted."

Hu Fei walked to the bedside, patting Bai Huanjun's shoulder, and laughingly said, "Buddy, you're really lucky to be alive. If the cops hadn't arrived in time, your body might have been hollowed out by now."

"Great misfortune followed by great fortune. By the way, how's Officer Xia and Jiang Yunkai's condition?"

"They haven't recovered as well as you. The doctor said it'll probably take some time for them to wake up." Saying that, Ling Chen pulled up a chair next to the bed, looking at Bai Huanjun, and asked, "Do you remember what happened before?"

Bai Huanjun thought for a moment and nodded, "I do have some impressions, but it's not very clear."

After a pause, Bai Huanjun suddenly thought of something, mysteriously glanced at the closed door, then leaned towards Ling Chen, saying, "I feel like the effects of the God Organization's experiment on me have been permanently retained."

Hearing this, Ling Chen was slightly stunned and incredulously asked, "Are you sure?"

"Of course, I've tested it." Bai Huanjun said, "But, my body is still a bit weak now, and I can't fully exert that kind of power, but I can feel that the power is hidden in my body."

Ling Chen and Hu Fei exchanged glances, a hint of surprise in their eyes.

Originally, they thought the God Organization's experiments were temporary, and once Bai Huanjun's body recovered, the violent power in him would completely disappear. But now, it seems that's not the case; the power has been permanently retained.

Looking at Ling Chen's shocked expression, Bai Huanjun said, "That's not the most crucial issue. The most important part is that previously, that power affected the mind, turning one into a bloodthirsty beast. But now it's different, I can control that power while staying lucid. When I was confined in the sanatorium earlier, if those bastards hadn't injected me with anesthesia every day, I would have dealt with them a long time ago."

Ling Chen said thoughtfully, "In that case, the powers of Xia Mutong and Jiang Yunkai will also be retained."

"I don't know about that. Although all three of us went through the God Organization's experimental modifications, the final result depends on individual constitution. But, since I can retain mine, their issue shouldn't be significant."

"Forget it! Let's not discuss this for now; the most important thing is everyone's safe. You should rest well in the hospital for now; there are many things to be busy with at the base. Work can wait until you recover."

After saying that, Ling Chen got up, preparing to leave the ward. But just then, a thought seemed to cross his mind, and his eyes suddenly lit up.

Upon leaving the ward, Ling Chen went directly to the neighboring special care ward.

At this moment, lying in the spacious and bright ward was a woman, none other than the long unseen Xia Mutong.

Looking at Xia Mutong's somewhat pale cheeks, Ling Chen sighed inwardly. In his heart, he felt a sense of debt and guilt towards Xia Mutong.

Xia Mutong was originally an ordinary police officer, but because of him, she got involved with the God Organization and almost lost her life.

If possible, Ling Chen truly wished she hadn't gotten involved in this mess.

"Rest well, I'll come to see you again." Ling Chen said to himself, then turned and left the special care ward.

As Ling Chen stepped out of the door, Xia Mutong's eyelashes fluttered slightly, but soon returned to stillness.

Returning to the Nanrong Family, after greeting Nanrong Wanqing, Ling Chen went directly into his bedroom.

Taking out the phone and the phone number Zhu Hong had left behind, Ling Chen didn't think much and dialed the number directly.

Beep, beep...

As the ringing came from the other end, the phone was finally picked up after a few seconds.

"Ling Chen, you finally called. Although it's a few days late, it's about the time I expected."

"You're that sure I'd contact you?"

"Of course. You know me, and I know you. I know you're a sentimental person and wouldn't leave your friends in danger. Well then! Since you're calling, it means you've accepted my terms. Alright, I'll contact you again at 3 p.m. tomorrow. Come to meet me then. Remember, come alone."

"No problem, I'll wait for your message." After saying this, Ling Chen hung up the phone.

The next day.

After having lunch at the Hongyu Group, Ling Chen sauntered into Nanrong Hao's office and stayed until a little past two. As the clock on the wall pointed to 3 p.m., Ling Chen's phone in his pocket rang precisely on time.

Taking out his phone and looking at the caller ID, Ling Chen answered without hesitation, asking, "Where?"

"380 Sunset Street, someone will take you to meet me when you arrive."

"Alright, I'm heading over now."

Hanging up the phone, Ling Chen quickly left Nanrong Hao's office and drove to the destination.

Sunset Street!

In less than half an hour, Ling Chen reached the location provided by Zhu Hong. Following the address, Ling Chen soon found 380, which was a small grocery store, no more than twenty square meters, with various goods piled inside.

Standing at the entrance of the grocery store, Ling Chen glanced around, scanning the surrounding crowd for suspicious individuals. After a moment, a modern commercial vehicle slowly drove up from the roadside and stopped beside Ling Chen.

The door opened, and a man poked his head out, scrutinizing Ling Chen before tossing out two words, "Get in!"

Without asking questions, Ling Chen obediently followed the man's instructions.

Once inside the car, a man in the vehicle put a black hood over Ling Chen's head, blocking his sight.

In an instant, Ling Chen's vision was engulfed in darkness.
