Chapter 523: Luo Zhenjia
Tong Ya let out a faint breath; it seemed that these people were not after money but Chen Yu.
Without saying much more, she carried Tuan Tuan out of the car and headed straight to a warehouse.
The place appeared very deserted, and in the vast warehouse, there were only a few masked individuals standing.
They were extremely polite to Tong Ya, having prepared a sofa especially for her.
“Miss Tong, inviting you here is a necessary resort, not an intentional kidnapping,” one of them said. “After all, we and Mr. Chen belong to the same Daoist circles. We simply want to clarify some matters with him; there are no other intentions.”
Disdain filled Tong Ya’s eyes. “You have the nerve to call yourselves members of the Daoist sects? Since when do Daoists become kidnappers in the secular world?”
The masked people stood there, dumbfounded; they hadn’t wanted to do such deeds initially, but the Sect Leader had commanded, and they had to obey.
Just then, a middle-aged man walked slowly into the room. Although his clothes were odd, they were indeed those of the Daoist tradition.
“I’ve long heard of Miss Tong’s decisive manner, and seeing it today, it’s indeed formidable!” he remarked.
Tong Ya instinctively shielded Tuan Tuan behind her.
“It looks like you’re the mastermind behind this! At this point, don’t you have the courage to reveal your true identity to me?” she challenged.
The middle-aged man chuckled lightly and took out a token from his garments.
“My name is Luo Zhenjia, the Sect Leader of the Luo Tian Sect! Within the Daoist community, we are on equal footing with the Xuanqing Sect.”
Tong Ya looked at Luo Zhenjia coldly. “You think you’re on par with my husband? You’re hardly qualified for that! Speak, what do you want with my husband?”
Seeing that Tong Ya wasn’t going to be easily swayed, Luo Zhenjia no longer said much and directly picked up the phone to make a call.
After dealing with the matters on Kirin Island, Chen Yu arrived in the imperial capital.
He had planned to take Tong Ya and Tuan Tuan with him to visit the Sacred Mountain for a grand gathering.
In his view, the Daoist congress was no different from a temple fair, and it was the perfect opportunity to show his wife and child a bit of the world.
But as soon as he got out of the airport, his phone began to ring.
“Mr. Chen, both your wife and daughter are in my hands. There are some matters that we need to talk about face-to-face. Could you come to Dock Twelve?”
Chen Yu’s pupils dilated dramatically. “Who are you?”
No more sounds came from the other end of the phone!
Chen Yu tried to keep himself calm, hailed a taxi on the roadside, and rushed straight towards Dock Twelve.
As he was nearing his destination, he let his system spread out over the area.
Unexpectedly, this time the range of the system’s coverage extended over half of the imperial capital.
Within this scope, everything was completely revealed to his mind.
If he wished, he could see everything he desired.
In the past, such a scenario would have startled him out of his wits.
Back then, although his physical fitness had reached the limits of humanity, his brain’s capacity was no different from the average person’s and couldn’t handle so much information.
Now, his brain capacity and intelligence had both surpassed human limits by twice as much. Not to mention the current data provided by the system, even if it were expanded further, he could still handle it.
Before long, he had pinpointed the abandoned warehouse at Dock Twelve.
The place was quite remote and indeed hard for people to find.
After having the taxi driver stop not too far away, he took a side path and circled around to approach.
