The Beauty CEO's Personal Expert-Chapter 1378 - 1686: Discord

"Really?" Ling Chen’s lips curled slightly, watching the other party with a half-smile, and said, "I admire your loyalty. Since you refuse to betray the Southern Ling Family, I respect your choice." As the words fell, Ling Chen’s right hand suddenly reached for his waist. Before the four middle-aged men realized what was happening, a gush of blood suddenly spurted out, splattering onto the ground.

Upon closer inspection, the middle-aged man standing farthest to the left was clutching his throat, occasionally emitting ’ugh ugh’ sounds. Blood streamed through his fingers and quickly stained his clothes.

After holding on for a few seconds, the middle-aged man’s body swayed slightly and fell directly to the ground, lifeless.

Seeing their companion die, the other three middle-aged men froze for a moment, a flash of fear in their eyes. At this time, Ling Chen had turned his gaze to another person. Feeling Ling Chen’s indifferent smile at the corner of his mouth, the middle-aged man involuntarily stepped back, stammering, "You... what do you want to do?"

Ling Chen shrugged and said, "Nothing. Since you don’t want to help me, you have no value to continue existing. I usually destroy things that have no value."

"No, no... you..."

"I’ll help, I’ll help you." Suddenly, a middle-aged man stepped forward, speaking in a trembling voice.

"Ling Geng, what are you doing?" Seeing a companion agree to help, the other two middle-aged men immediately scolded, "Don’t forget, you’re part of the Southern Ling Family, even if it means dying, do not betray the Ling Family."

Ling Chen smiled slightly, "Gentlemen, I don’t see it that way. Instead, I think he’s quite smart because he’s someone who values life." After speaking, Ling Chen didn’t wait for them to speak again and waved, signaling Yuan Yun to drag the remaining two middle-aged men out.

"Follow me." Ling Chen led the middle-aged man named Ling Geng to the control panel and said, "I need you to report to the people on the submarine, tell them that the situation on the island is under control, and request their reinforcement. You’re a smart person; you’d better do smart things. Otherwise, your end will be miserable, understand?"

Ling Geng nodded, picked up the earphones, and contacted the people on the submarine. Ling Chen walked to the side, put on headphones, and listened carefully to the conversation between Ling Geng and the other side. Ling Geng’s performance was decent, without any out-of-line behavior.

After about a minute, the submarine cut off communication. Ling Chen put down his phone, smiling and saying, "Very good, you are indeed a smart person. Rest assured, I won’t go back on my promise."

After taking Ling Geng outside, Ling Chen walked beside Hu Fei and asked, "Can you track the location of that submarine?"

"The position isn’t very accurate, error within two kilometers."

"It’s okay, as long as we have a rough direction and distance."

"If I’m not mistaken, the submarine is about thirty kilometers from us, and if they sail at full speed, they’ll soon reach the island."

"Good, notify everyone to prepare for battle. Fatty, keep an eye on the sea, as soon as that submarine surfaces, don’t hold back, seize the opportunity and bomb them directly."

"Got it."

Time passed second by second, and all they could do was wait. After ten minutes, Ling Chen finally heard the news from Hu Fei, "They’ve arrived, right on the eastern sea, surfacing now."

Upon hearing this, Ling Chen immediately shouted, "Send them to the bottom of the sea." After speaking, Ling Chen quickly climbed up a nearby watchtower, picked up his binoculars, and looked towards the eastern side of the island. Under the thick night, a vague object seemed to be floating on the sea. Due to the distance, Ling Chen couldn’t see it clearly. However, based on the information from Hu Fei, it could be confirmed that it was the Southern Ling Family’s submarine.

At this time, several streams of fire shot up from the island, drawing beautiful arcs straight towards the sea. A few seconds later, a dazzling flash appeared in Ling Chen’s binoculars, accompanied by an earth-shattering explosion.

After a few minutes, all that was left on the sea was the blazing fire; nothing else.

"Haha!" Soon, Hu Fei’s excited laughter came through the earphones, "Ling Chen, how did I do? Sent them straight to hell."

"Nicely done." Ling Chen put away the binoculars and smiled, "Alright, the submarine has been sunk, everyone can stand down. Fatty, pack up and prepare to evacuate."

"Understood."

Returning to the lab, Ling Chen first went to see Ling Haitian and reported the latest situation to him.

After hearing Ling Chen’s report, Ling Haitian seemed very excited, "Are you sure the submarine was sunk?"

"Absolutely," Ling Chen nodded and said, "You should have all heard the explosion, at that level of explosion, no one could survive."

"Good, very good. We’ve finally wiped out the Southern Ling Family after fighting for so many years. Ling Chen, well done, you were a great credit to this operation; when I return, I will certainly reward you handsomely."

Ling Chen gave a faint smile, "No need for a reward, this is what I should do."

Ling Jun spoke up from the side, "You have this awareness, we didn’t waste so much effort in training you." After speaking, Ling Jun turned to Ling Haitian and said, "Family Head, since the Southern Ling Family is extinguished, we should go back; there’s still much work to be done rebuilding the Northern Ling Family."

"You’re right, let’s go."

Before long, everyone arrived at a small hangar by car. At this moment, Hu Fei and the rest were ready and could depart at any time. However, because there’s only one small passenger plane left, which can only accommodate fifteen people at a time, they must fly two rounds.

"Family Head, please board the plane."

As Ling Haitian boarded the plane, Ling Tao and others followed closely behind. However, when Hu Fei and his group prepared to board the plane, they were stopped by Ling Jun.

"You take the next flight."

Upon hearing this, Hu Fei’s face became ugly, "What do you mean? This plane can clearly seat fifteen people."

Ling Jun replied coldly, "We are the high management of the Northern Ling Family, and have important matters to discuss, no outsiders allowed."

"You..."

Before Hu Fei could explode, Ling Jun turned his gaze to Ling Chen and said solemnly, "Keep your subordinates in check, they have no sense of decorum." After speaking, Ling Jun pointed to Kaelina and Zhu Qing in the crowd, "Bring these two up to serve the Family Head."

Ling Chen raised an eyebrow, he could ignore Hu Fei’s matter, but seeing Ling Jun asking Kaelina and Zhu Qing to serve them was a bit excessive. 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦

Darn it! Really treating his friends like they’re servants of the Northern Ling Family.
