Chapter 57 The Unfathomable Mystery

"Lin Chen? Is that you?"

Xie Yun also heard the familiar voice, and Lin Chen's face immediately appeared in her mind.

"What? Lin Chen? Don't joke!"

"You bitch, just you wait!"

Hearing Xie Yun's words, Huang Junjie couldn't believe his ears.

He casually picked up a fruit knife from the coffee table next to him and started searching the room.

"What are you looking for?"

However, just as Huang Junjie was looking around nervously, the voice sounded again.

"Who is it? If you have the guts, come out!"

Hearing this voice, Huang Junjie's spine chilled, and he almost wet himself!

Xie Yun's apartment was small, a simple one-bedroom, one-living room unit, but there was no one in the bedroom, kitchen, or bathroom.

Where was this voice coming from?

Could it be a ghost?

The thought sent a warmth between his legs, and an indescribable odor filled the living room.

"Damn it! Where are the people outside? Get in here!"

Huang Junjie dragged his trembling body to the door and opened the anti-theft door, rushing out.

In his opinion, his most elite subordinates were guarding outside.

With them around, he wouldn't be afraid of anyone playing ghosts!

However, to his surprise, it wasn't his elite thugs who appeared at the door, but a cold-faced Lin Chen!

"Lin... Lin Chen? How is this possible?"

Seeing Lin Chen in front of him, Huang Junjie was stunned.

He knew Lin Chen was skilled, but why was he here now? Didn't he go straight home after work?

"Confused, aren't you? Want to know the answer?"

"Too bad, you'll go to hell with your questions!"

As he spoke, a murderous intent flashed in Lin Chen's eyes. Huang Junjie, who had been looking bewildered, suddenly turned grim and lost all signs of life.

For Lin Chen, even though Huang Junjie had provoked him and sent people to attack him, he had never harbored any intention to kill.

But this bastard had targeted Xie Yun in such a way, it was asking for death!

After killing Huang Junjie, Lin Chen calmly threw his body and the bodies of a few thugs into the Nine Dragon Ring.

Having done this, Lin Chen picked up the fruit knife that Huang Junjie had dropped and tossed it into the living room.

As if the fruit knife had eyes, it landed perfectly by Xie Yun's hand!

Seeing this, Xie Yun didn't hesitate. She quickly picked up the fruit knife and cut through the ropes on her hands and feet, then rushed towards the anti-theft door.

But where was anyone else to be seen?

The lights in the corridor were still bright, and it didn't look like anyone had been there.

For safety, Xie Yun immediately dialed the number Zheng Laoyezi had given her and explained the situation.

In less than five minutes, Zheng Yong personally arrived at Xie Yun's apartment with a squad of police officers.

After a thorough investigation of the scene, Zheng Yong concluded that Xie Yun had indeed been kidnapped.

"Doctor Xie, there's something I don't understand. Huang Junjie was almost successful, so why was he so scared that he wet himself?"

"And my subordinates checked the surveillance, Huang Junjie did enter this building, but he never left!"

"Also, there's no trace of Huang Junjie in the entire building."

Zheng Yong, full of confusion, asked the still shaken Xie Yun.

"This... Uncle Zheng, I don't know either. I just vaguely heard a man's voice, and then Huang Junjie grabbed a knife and started searching everywhere. For some reason, he got scared and peed himself."

"Then he went out, probably to call his bodyguards, and never came back."

"This fruit knife I used to cut the ropes was thrown in from outside."

Xie Yun looked helpless. She herself was still bewildered, not knowing what had just happened.

But she knew someone had saved her!

"Oh? A man's voice? Whose voice?"

Zheng Yong keenly caught the key point and asked Xie Yun.

If a man had indeed appeared here, then finding him might lead to catching Huang Junjie, right?

After all, for the current Zheng Yong, Xie Yun was his father's savior. If he didn't catch and punish the culprit today, he would probably have to kneel in the ancestral hall when he got home!

"It sounded like my assistant, Lin Chen's voice."

Xie Yun didn't hide anything and directly stated her thoughts.

"Lin Chen?"

Hearing this name, Zheng Yong's heart skipped a beat, and a bad feeling arose within him.

He hadn't known Lin Chen for long, but he understood his personality somewhat.

If Huang Junjie had really intended to harm Xie Yun, and Lin Chen found out, then Huang Junjie would probably have already disappeared from this world!

Zheng Yong didn't care about Huang Junjie's fate, but he had mobilized all the police officers tonight for the search. If any evidence unfavorable to Lin Chen was found, things would become very difficult!

"Old Zheng, the Huang family patriarch, Huang Mingyang, has arrived, along with the patriarchs of several other influential families."

Just as Zheng Yong was agonizing over what to do, a middle-aged man, frowning, approached him.

"Oh? Hehehe, they are quite fast!"

Hearing this, Zheng Yong let out a cold laugh.

They had just finished searching the building, and their backers had already appeared. Was this too timely?

"Old Huang, I heard my son was kidnapped here? Have you found him?"

"If you've found him, why don't we elders take him away? We'll visit and express our gratitude tomorrow morning."

As soon as Huang Mingyang arrived, he immediately changed the nature of Huang Junjie's incident.

And the implication in his words was clear: he wanted Zheng Yong to hand over the person!

"Hehehe, Old Huang, your son wasn't kidnapped, but broke into a private residence with the intent to assault a woman, and disappeared after being stopped."

Zheng Yong showed no mercy to Huang Mingyang and exposed Huang Mingyang's lie in front of everyone.

"You..."

Seeing that Zheng Yong was so disrespectful, Huang Mingyang's face instantly darkened.

"Then where is my son? Didn't that woman say she heard Lin Chen's voice?"

Huang Mingyang asked Zheng Yong with a dark face.

On his way here, he had already asked around. His son's plan had failed, and he had mysteriously disappeared!

Why was he here so late at night if not to find his son?

No matter what crime he had committed, he was still his only son!
