Chapter 916 921: Unexpected Shootout

After greeting Nanrong Zhengqing, Ling Chen and Ji Beizhao immediately drove to the location of the mansion.

After spending more than forty minutes on the road, the mansion finally appeared in Ling Chen's view.

This place is quite nice.

Ling Chen thought to himself. This mansion is not in the city but built in the suburbs. It's very large, surrounded by lush green lawns.

"Stop!"

At this moment, Ling Chen noticed something ahead and quickly asked Ji Beizhao to pull over to the roadside.

Looking carefully, he saw several SUVs parked outside the mansion, surrounded by seven or eight men in suits, busy loading various sized boxes into the trunks.

Strangely, all these men in suits were uniformly Huaxia individuals.

Once the boxes were all loaded, the men in suits quickly got into the cars and drove the SUVs towards the highway entrance.

Throughout the duration, besides these men in suits, Ling Chen didn't see anyone else appear.

"Who are these people?" Ji Beizhao muttered to himself, "Could it be that woman knew she was in danger and had people move her belongings?"

Ling Chen thought for a moment and said, "Not necessarily. I remember Qi Houzhao mentioned that woman was very cautious. If she felt endangered, she definitely wouldn't draw attention by having people move her belongings elsewhere; that's too risky. From my guess, that woman would surely hide in a place where no one would notice and observe quietly until it's safe to show herself."

"Should we investigate the identity of these people?"

"Since we're here, might as well follow them and see."

Immediately, Ji Beizhao started the car and drove straight towards the direction of the SUVs.

Shortly after, they entered the highway, driving straight along the wide road. With Ji Beizhao accelerating a few times, the SUVs finally appeared in Ling Chen's sight.

To avoid being noticed, Ji Beizhao didn't get too close, maintaining a distance of more than two hundred meters.

Over ten minutes later, the SUVs exited the highway at a junction, entering a nearby farm.

After parking, Ling Chen looked through the car window at the SUVs. At this moment, the men in suits had all disembarked. Except for a few guarding, the others were carrying boxes into the wooden house in the center of the farm.

The wooden house was large, seemingly a warehouse for farm tools, and there was also a harvesting machine parked outside.

"Beizhao, is this place shown in the documents?"

"No. That woman's assets don't mention this farm. How about we go check it out?"

"Okay."

Getting out of the car, Ling Chen quickly walked to the farm's perimeter fence, crouching down to avoid being seen.

Looking at the surroundings of the farm, Ling Chen couldn't help but feel a bit troubled. Being a farm, it's very large, surrounded by lawns without any cover. Once they entered that area, they would surely be detected.

"Beizhao, any ideas?" Ling Chen asked for help.

Ji Beizhao shrugged, showing a helpless expression. In such terrain, they couldn't get close.

While they were pondering over plans, a sudden flare appeared in Ling Chen's sight. The flare streaked across the air and hit the wooden house.

Instantly, with a boom, the wooden house exploded, flames scattering everywhere.

It was a rocket launcher!

Ling Chen's face slightly changed, watching the wooden house engulfed in flames, momentarily stunned.

While astonished, several Mercedes-Benz Sprinter vans rushed over from the opposite direction, breaking through the farm's fence, driving directly towards the demolished wooden house.

At this moment, the personnel outside the wooden house were blasted away by the explosion's shockwave, uncertain if they were alive, no one stopping the intruders.

Bang!

Then, from the ruins of the exploded wooden house came another loud bang. Under the blast, the scattered wooden beams flew everywhere.

Simultaneously, more than a dozen men in suits franticly ran from the ruins, holding assault rifles, firing at the Mercedes vans with da-da-da sounds.

In the blink of an eye, the lead Mercedes van was riddled with bullet holes. However, these Mercedes vans seemed specially modified with bulletproof glass. Despite the fierce shootings, the glass didn't shatter, unable to harm those inside.

"Ling Chen, look!"

Ji Beizhao pointed at one of the Mercedes vans. The van's window opened, and a man raised a Gatling gun, emerging from the compartment.

Suddenly, tongues of fire spitting bullets rained down, instantly taking out all those men in suits.

Tut tut!

Seeing this scene, Ling Chen was secretly startled. That was too brutal! Even using a Gatling, that's surely the Grim Reaper's harvesting machine; no one could withstand its frenzied assault.

After clearing the area of men in suits, the Mercedes vans approached closer. As doors opened, a fully armed squad jumped out, numbering about twenty, rushing straight towards the wooden house ruins.

Watching those people disappear into the ruins, Ling Chen immediately stood up and said, "There should be a secret base beneath that wooden house."

Ji Beizhao hesitated and said, "We better not go over. Those guys have such strong equipment; if they mistake us for enemies, I'm afraid we won't survive."

"Aren't you curious about their identities?" Ling Chen questioned, "They might have a significant connection with that woman."

"But…" Ji Beizhao was still worried. It wasn't about lacking courage, but it was too dangerous, unnecessary to risk their lives.

Seeing Ji Beizhao hesitating to make a decision, Ling Chen proposed, "Here's the plan, you wait outside in the car while I go in alone. If there's nothing, I'll come out and meet you."

"Alright. Be careful and stay in contact."

With that decided, Ling Chen immediately ran towards the wooden house ruins. Shortly after, arriving at the ruins, Ling Chen looked at the corpses scattered on the ground, picking up a gun conveniently. Although skilled, bullets were faster than hands. Anyway, this isn't his home country, and there are fewer restrictions.

Walking into the ruins, Ling Chen looked around. As expected, there was an underground entrance at the center of the ruins. It seemed the explosion just now sealed the entrance, hence why they blew it open.

Standing at the entrance, Ling Chen crouched down, listening carefully. Occasional gunfire echoed from below. Judging by the clarity of the gunfire, the underground secret base should be quite sizeable.

Without much thought, Ling Chen pulled the gun's bolt, loading a bullet, then leaped into the entrance.
