I bought a secret manual of the Hehuan Sect for ten yuan.

"He doesn't need to cooperate much; just create opportunities for Lin Yuan!"

"As for how to get Lin Chen out, that's simple!"

Qin Ge looked at Lin Yao on the hospital bed, "It's just about a photo!"

"You've got a lot of clever ideas! But how can you be sure Lin Yuan will take the bait? Should you bait the area or just tell him directly?"

"I've noticed you've gotten a bit cocky lately. You're always looking down on me or mocking me. Don't you need a lesson?"

"No, I didn't, don't talk nonsense..."

"Don't overthink it. As long as Lin Yuan is mentally sound, he should be keeping a close eye on the Lin family's activities. If he can't seize the opportunity, I'll accept it even if it's all for nothing."

"It sounds so nice, but actually it just means you're not confident and are relying entirely on luck!"

"Here we go again! You really need a good beating!"

"ah--"

......

The already somber atmosphere in the Lin family has become even more deathly tense these past few days after Lin Chen received Shen Yulan's phone call.

Han Xiuyun was still the same as when she woke up from her coma after learning of her daughter's death; her eyes were vacant, and she looked like a walking corpse.

Lin Chen was worried about his wife, so he has been working from home these past few days.

He poured all his time and energy into his work, trying to numb the pain of losing his daughter.

While Lin Chen was engrossed in his work, he received a text message from an unknown number.

He picked up his phone and glanced at it casually. His body trembled as if he had been electrocuted, and then he froze.

"I want to see your daughter, 8 PM, Seven Star Bay."

The message was brief, but what truly shook Lin Chen was the accompanying photo.

This is a photo of Lin Yao lying in a hospital bed!

Lin Chen's eyes widened so much they almost popped out, as if he wanted to identify every single pixel of the photo to determine its authenticity.

"Could Yao Yao still be alive?"

After staring at the photo on his phone for a long time, Lin Chen realized it was real; it was his daughter, Lin Yao!

Who sent this message? Why is it about Seven Star Bay again? Could it be another trap?

Lin Chen's mind raced, and in the end, he decided to keep the appointment, even if it was a trap!

At seven o'clock, Lin Chen led Liu Yuzhou and a group of experts out to Seven Star Bay.

Lin Chen didn't tell anyone what he was going to do. Even Liu Yuzhou and the others who were with him didn't know why he was going to Qixing Bay.

He was afraid that if he gave his wife hope only to disappoint her again, she wouldn't be able to bear the blow.

As Qin Ge had expected, Lin Yuan had been secretly monitoring the Lin family's every move.

Lin Yuan received the news shortly after Lin Chen left the house.

"Lin Chen really knows how to pick his moments to get himself killed!"

"If I didn't help him, I'd be letting my good older brother down!"

Lin Yuan's excitement was tinged with malice. "Everyone, Lin Chen can't be allowed to live any longer. With him around, it's very difficult for me to get things done."

"Mr. Du knows this best. I've approached so many people in the Lin family these past few days, and almost none of them are willing to support me."

"If this continues, I'll be exposed before we even get anything done!"

"Please, everyone, take action and eliminate Lin Chen!"

In fact, after killing Lin Sheng that day, he didn't look for anyone else. There was no point in continuing to look, and there was also the risk of being exposed, so he could only put it aside for the time being.

As soon as Du Ruo was mentioned, he came downstairs with a dark face.

Gu Qingya saw right through him, "You've gone and provoked Xie Bingning again?"

Du Ruo gave an awkward laugh, "Staying here all day with nothing to do is so boring!"

Gu Qingya hardened his face, "If you're fucking blinded by lust, just say so!"

"I advise you not to waste your time. In my experience, Xie Bingning has no chance of being interested in you!"

Du Ruo grinned sheepishly, "Xie Bingning is definitely a hot woman, and that figure...tsk tsk, I wonder how voluptuous she must be!"

"Mr. Gu, why are you making that face? Our organization doesn't have any rules against romance!"

Gu Qingya's eyes were full of disdain. "There's no ban on romance, but you can't let it interfere with your business!"

"You've angered her. If this delays the mission, will you take responsibility?"

"Mr. Gu is right." Du Ruoke didn't dare to provoke Gu Qingya. "I won't provoke Xie Bingning for the time being. If I really can't stand it, I'll just find someone outside to deal with it."

"Don't worry, Mr. Gu, I'll kill him after I'm done. It won't be exposed."

"Why the hell can't you understand human language?" Gu Qingya was furious. "These are extraordinary times, and the whole of Jinling is full of people from the Shadow Martial Hall."

"Are you going out to cause trouble at a time like this? Do you want to attract the attention of the Shadow Martial Hall and have us all wiped out?"

"Go and call Xie Bingning downstairs; I have important business to discuss!"

"No, no need, right?" Du Ruo was a little embarrassed. He had indeed angered Xie Bingning just now, and if he went up now, a sniper rifle might be pointed directly at his head.

"Tell me what happened first, and I'll pass it on to her."

"Perhaps we won't need her!"

"Kill Lin Chen!" Gu Qingya had already considered this matter. "That expert named Liu Yuzhou who's with Lin Chen should be here. That person isn't good."

"His strength is no less than mine. Even if you and I join forces, we probably won't be able to defeat him within two hundred moves."

"If it's delayed too long, something might go wrong."

"Isn't there still a ghostly figure?" Du Ruo looked at the man next to Gu Qingya, a man dressed entirely in black, silent like a shadow.

There were three of them who came to Jinling this time, plus Xie Bingning who was already in Jinling, making a total of four people.

Ghost Shadow excels at assassination, striking with lightning speed before the target can even react, making him a true assassin!

But Du Ruo has yet to see Ghost Shadow make a move.

The main purpose of the last operation at Seven Star Bay was to kill Qin Ge and provoke a conflict between the Lin and Lu families, so it was not suitable for Ghost Shadow, the assassin, to take action.

"Mr. Gu, you hold Liu Yuzhou off, I'll distract the others, and let Ghost Shadow seize the opportunity to kill Lin Chen!"

"Retreat immediately after the deed is done. No matter how powerful Liu Yuzhou is, he can't do anything to us."

"Moreover, with Lin Chen dead, they will definitely be thrown into chaos and won't be able to care about us anymore."

After pondering for a moment, Gu Qingya nodded slightly. "Alright, let Xie Bingning provide remote assistance as well, it'll be an extra layer of insurance."

"Go and inform her that we're leaving now!"

"We don't need Xie Bingning, do we?" Du Ruo asked guiltily. "The three of us are enough, and Mr. Lin is still here. We need to leave a skilled protector for him, right?"

As Du Ruo and the others were discussing, Lin Yuan received another phone call. "They went to Seven Star Bay?"

After hanging up the phone, Lin Yuan was still puzzled. What was Lin Chen doing at Seven Star Bay at this time?

Meanwhile, Yang Xin'er also received news that Lin Chen had already left.

"Xiao Xin'er, we're counting on you for the rest of the time!"

"I'll do my best. You, be careful."
