Not even a few minutes later, a police car pulled up right in front of Ling Chen.

The door opened and Xia Mutong rushed out of the vehicle, looking at Nanrong Wanqing, who was being held in Ling Chen’s embrace, with a face full of worry.

“Miss Nanrong, are you alright?”

“I’m fine.”

“Ling Chen, you can drive. I’ll take over the duty of protecting Miss Nanrong.”

With that said, Xia Mutong stretched out her arms, wanting to take Nanrong Wanqing from Ling Chen.

However, he deftly avoided her, giving her a wide smile. “Officer Xia, there’s no need to trouble yourself, it’s better that I take charge of her care. Moreover, I don’t even have a driver’s license. It’d be illegal for me to drive.”

This bastard!

Nanrong Wanqing resentfully glared at him and thought that he was taking this opportunity to take advantage of her. However, as she opened her mouth to rebuke him, Ling Chen leaned down and whispered a few sentences into her ear.

The hot air that he released when he spoke left Nanrong Wanqing feeling an indescribable scorching sensation in her ear. However, after hearing what Ling Chen said, her mouth immediately clammed up, and she stared at Xia Mutong with a strange gaze.

“Officer Xia, then I’ll be troubling you to send us back to Hongyu Multinational.”

Without waiting for Xia Mutong to reply, Ling Chen directly opened the back car door and carried Nanrong Wanqing onto the seat.

You must be joking! If I hand Nanrong Wanqing over to this deviant, wouldn’t that be like delivering a sheep into a wolf’s mouth?

Xia Mutong lightly snorted and stared at Ling Chen with belligerent eyes, before huffily sitting down in the driver’s seat.

After a drive that lasted for more than twenty minutes, the three arrived at the headquarters of Hongyu Multinational.

The moment they disembarked, Wei Jun, who had long been waiting at the entrance, immediately rushed forward with a wheelchair that had been prepared, along with a large entourage of security guards.

Just now in the car, Nanrong Wanqing had made a call to settle the arrangements for her arrival.

“Big Bro Wei.”

Ling Chen called out a greeting, before carrying Nanrong Wanqing out of the car. Looking at his actions, the surrounding security guards all went into a trance.

They had been with Hongyu Multinational for many years and this was the first time they had seen the Chairwoman coming into contact with someone from the opposite gender. Moreover, it was even an intimate kind of touch!

“Hurry up and put me down!”

Sensing the strange looks directed towards her, Nanrong Wanqing felt her cheeks burning up, and she furiously whispered to Ling Chen.

Ling Chen grunted in agreement and gently placed her on the prepared wheelchair. He then took the shawl in Wei Jun’s hand and meticulously draped it over her exposed legs.

“Big Bro Wei, please bring the Chairwoman back to her office to rest.”

“Alright. The few of you, hurry up and escort the Chairwoman up!”

After sending off Nanrong Wanqing, Wei Jun patted Ling Chen’s shoulder, a look of admiration written all over his face.

“Brother, I really have to give it to you.”

“I’m just doing my job. Right, what happened to Captain Zhong and the rest?”

“They’re currently receiving treatment at the hospital.”

Speaking till this point, Wei Jun could not help letting out a melancholic sigh.

“We just received news that there were four casualties among Squad 1 members. One of them was beyond saving, but the other three fortunately escaped with their lives.”

Ling Chen immediately wiped the grin off his face, instead replaced by a solemn countenance. One dead and three heavily injured, the operation this time dealt quite a heavy blow to Squad 1. If he had known Nanrong Wanqing’s schedule in advance, perhaps this tragedy could have been avoided.

“Ling Chen.”

“Anything else, Officer Xia?”
