C173 (1/2)

Ling Chen was also observing his surroundings. A three-storey dilapidated building was situated in the east, and the other three directions were filled with piles of rubbish. The stench that shot into the sky caused him to frown, and his gaze towards Jane Fan became firmer, ”Leave the matter of saving Niu Niu to me.” I swear, I will hand her over to you unharmed! ”

”Ling Chen, I don't want Niu Niu to be the second Zhou Tong!” Jane Fan flatly refused.

That stubborn nature of hers made Ling Chen very angry. He lifted her up and swung his sword towards her neck, bringing the unconscious Jian Fan back into the car.

”Song Chengyou, come and look at Jian Fan.” Ling Chen picked up the phone, spoke for a while, then hung up. Ling Chen bent over and kissed Jane Fan's forehead, then he took her phone and put it into his pocket.

”Are you here? ”Go to my appointed place!” His phone buzzed. It was a text message from an unfamiliar person, but the caller ID showed that it was a private number.

It seemed that someone had used a disposable phone card to contact Jane Fan.

”Where?” Her slender fingers quickly typed out a few lines of words.

”The roof of the third floor.” The man answered quickly, as if he was observing the situation.

Ling Chen snorted coldly, and did not reply for a long time. Only until he saw Song Chengyou's car, did he open the car door, and slowly walked towards the three-storey building.

It was an old building. Looking at the cracked green bricks, Ling Chen knew that it was a dangerous building, and that it had been part of their plan since the beginning of the year. Who would have thought that during this period of time, this dilapidated house would escape its fate of being demolished, and somehow become a cultural relic that was protected.

Usually, when Ling Chen and the others arrived, there would be guards at the door, guarding the tickets and speaking some polite words.

But today, the place was deathly silent. Not only were there no sounds of humans, there were even sounds of animals fleeing everywhere. Ling Chen bent down, letting a cobra go around where he was standing, and quickly went upstairs. The wooden staircase creaked as dust flew into the air, blinding everyone's eyes.

The distance to the third floor was not long, but because the wooden staircase had long since been emptied by ants, Ling Chen had to be especially careful with every step he took, and also pay special attention. Ling Chen's gaze was like a camera as he scanned his surroundings, including every possible location to install a camera. As for the possible hiding places, he had also marked them one by one.

The third floor had finally reached its peak after a difficult journey. Ling Chen picked up his phone, and the buzzing voice sounded out again.

”Dig a hole and take out the things inside.” Ling Chen frowned slightly. For such a shabby house to be dug up on the third floor, that was simply courting death.

”I'm not here to die!” Ling Chen coldly replied. As he scanned his surroundings, he suddenly discovered a strange place.

The roof on the third floor had a sharp angle, and in the sunlight it was pointing at a spot of ash on the ground. There were no flies or mosquitoes near the dregs. Instead, there were piles of dead animals. Flies stink, but do not stay in the right place. This suitable discovery made Ling Chen frown slightly.

The person on the other end replied with a text message, ”Miss Jane, do you find it dirty?” ”Well, you'll see your daughter's body in a similar place later.”

Without a doubt, the third floor that that person was referring to was not the real roof, but the place where the old building's roof was pointing to under the rays of the sun.

”Song Chengyou, take good care of Jian Fan.” Ling Chen sent a message and quickly headed downstairs.

The fragile plank had been broken into several pieces because of his speed, and when Ling Chen rushed out from the first floor, the building had already exploded with a loud bang, causing dust to rise into the air. The building collapsed, but the direction the roof pointed to remained unchanged.

Ling Chen quickly walked over to the place and looked around. He found a wooden board and took out the things covering it. After digging a few times, he could smell a familiar smell. Here, hidden by someone, and hidden in a rotting body.

Ling Chen's strength increased, and the speed of digging increased. In a moment, everything that was inside was revealed.

It was a huge Tibetan mastiff. Its stomach was protruding and it looked like it was pregnant.

Ling Chen picked up the wooden board and knocked on it, and heard something that did not belong to the mastiff itself. It was not a small Tibetan mastiff in its stomach, but a few kilograms of drugs.

”Take it out. Put it in the gatehouse of the old building. ” His phone rang again.

”Where's my daughter?” Ling Chen's hands were heavy with the drug. He could not imagine what would happen if Jane Fan found out about it.

”Your daughter? ”Hahaha.” This time, the person did not send a text message, but directly called, ”Director Ling is so funny. When you came to this place in place of Jian Fan, you knew that Jian Xiaofan was dead for sure. Why do you have to say such funny things? ”

That person's voice was arrogant, but within his arrogance, Ling Chen could smell a thick jealousy.

His mind raced as he coldly harrumphed, ”No one has ever dared to dole out drugs in my hands!”
