“You said it yourself, the world is not peaceful,” Lin Chen said.

“But I think this place is pretty peaceful,” He Lanhu said, glancing at Lin Chen. “Look how well our brothers have been fed, each one brimming with martial virtue.”

“I’ve heard from outsiders that the gangs on Gute Street are pretty ruthless,” Lin Chen said.

“Of course, it’s a chaotic world. If you’re not tough, people will think we’re easy to bully,” He Lanhu smiled. “After all, right now, our priority is survival. To survive, we have no choice but to do some bad things.”

"What a terrible thing?" Lin Chen looked up.

"Oh dear, don't scare me. I know you're no longer an investigator in the First Anti-Corruption Division."

He Lanhu blinked.

"If you were still an investigator, we couldn't really tell you what we were doing. What if we did, and ended up in handcuffs? I like gold bracelets, not silver ones..."

"You know quite a lot." Lin Chen chuckled.

"That's right, after all, your Director Louis is probably itching to yell at you through a megaphone every day, so how can we pretend nothing's wrong?"

At this moment, He Lanhu led Lin Chen to the door of the encrypted room.

“Enter your password yourself, we’ll head out now,” said He Lanhu. “Give my regards to the girls.”

"Okay, thanks, sister-in-law." Lin Chen nodded.

Lin Chen only turned around and started entering the password on the button next to the encrypted room after He Lanhu and her bodyguard left.

"drop!"

After the input was completed, the door to the encryption room opened inch by inch, accompanied by a roar, and the huge steel structure gradually shifted its position.

"Buzzing..."

Upon opening the door, a faint chill wafted out.

"do not move!"

As soon as Lin Chen walked in, a pistol was pointed at his head.

He turned his head and saw that the person holding the gun was the station's liaison officer.

“Ah…it’s you,” the liaison officer put down her gun. “Thank God…I thought it was them.”

"Them?" Lin Chen frowned.

“We’ve got information on those traitors in the Bureau of Investigation,” the liaison officer sighed. “That coward Louis has contacted me several times, trying to get me to open the door, but I haven’t done it. I thought he finally got the password.”

She seemed much more relaxed all of a sudden.

"So, we're going to evacuate?" she asked with a hint of relief.

"Take all the valuables. Five minutes." Lin Chen nodded.

"Received, received!"

The liaison officer waved, and the other staff members at the station immediately began to pack up their things in an orderly manner.

Lin Chen strode towards Liti and Huihui's room and opened the door.

"elder brother!"

As soon as they saw Lin Chen open the door, Liti and Huihui rushed over immediately.

The two little girls practically leaped into Lin Chen's arms at the same time.

"Oh dear, you've gotten so much heavier in just two months." Lin Chen rubbed the two girls' heads.

"All the food is high in calories, who wouldn't gain weight!" Huihui cried out.

"Get fat! Get fat!" Litty shouted happily.

"Alright, alright, there's no time for sweet talk now," Lin Chen put the two girls down. "Pack your things, let's leave here right away, okay?"

“It’s all packed!” Huihui pointed to two suitcases in the corner of the room.

"So fast?" Lin Chen was taken aback. "Or is it..."

"When you said you might come to pick us up, Huihui got all ready!" Liti laughed, spreading her wings. "She even stopped playing games! She's just waiting for you to come!"

"Liti!" Huihui blushed slightly.

"Alright, alright, I'm here to pick you up," Lin Chen patted Huihui's shoulder. "Grab your suitcases and let's go."

"it is good!"

The two girls followed Lin Chen out of the encrypted room. By then, the staff at the site had already packed their luggage.

"Brother Lin, let's go." The liaison officer nodded to Lin Chen.

"Follow behind me."

Lin Chen gestured for Liti and Huihui to stay with the staff, then led the way to the stairs.

He had just stepped out of the encrypted room when suddenly, Li Zhanyi shouted into his earpiece:

"Five seconds! A needle! Dodge the explosion!"

"What happened?" Lin Chen pressed his earpiece.

The next second, a violent explosion rang out—

"boom!!!"

Huihui screamed, and Lin Chen stepped back two steps to protect them.

"Embroidery needle, what's going on!" Lin Chen pressed his earpiece.

"Cough...cough cough, an explosion..." came the voice of the embroidery needle. "It sounds like...Baiyun! Quick, take cover!"

"boom!!!"

Another explosion, accompanied by a violent tremor, and clouds of dust fell from the ceiling.

At the same time, a half-burnt-black object rolled down the stairs.

Lin Chen looked closely and realized that it was actually a white cloud.

He was left with only his upper body; half of the bronze mask on his face was gone, and on the half of his face that was exposed, his eyes were fixedly staring ahead.

"Go back to the encrypted room," Lin Chen said in a low voice. "Lock the door, now!"

"Brother! Come in too!" Huihui shouted.

"I have to go help them."

After Lin Chen finished speaking, he walked towards the stairs.

He had only gone halfway when he heard heavy footsteps approaching.

"Oh... these little mice are pretty fast. Aren't you going to run with them?"

Lin Chen looked up and saw a tall figure wearing an exoskeleton standing at the end of the steps, looking down at him.

On that tall figure was a familiar noodle dish.

That's Ms. J!

“Ms. Johnston,” Lin Chen murmured, “long time no see, your fitness results are even better than last time.”

“It’s a pity I didn’t have a chance to kill you last time,” Ms. J’s eyes gleamed with a deep blue light. “I’ve always wanted to ask you, how did you feel when you killed Johnston? Just like that, killing an innocent, poor child, didn’t you think about the retribution that might come your way?”

"Innocent? Pitiful?" Lin Chen chuckled lightly. "I hope his death will bring peace to the victims of the Iron Horn Bridge."

“He didn’t cause the Iron Cape Bridge incident!” Ms. J shouted.

“The Iron Horn Bridge incident was caused by the Foundation,” Lin Chen said, narrowing his eyes. “And Skybreaker was also created by the Foundation. If you can’t clean up the mess, someone else will come and deal with you.”

"Ha, so you want to deal with me tonight?"

Ms. J flicked her wrist, and bursts of eerie blue sparks erupted from her arm.

"Your little slut sister Huihui is in that door over there, isn't she?" Ms. J muttered. "When I open that door, guess how I'll kill her?"

"Your last words were quite standard," Lin Chen said softly.

The next second, he suddenly raised his hand and drew the shotgun with a speed almost invisible to the naked eye.

Almost simultaneously, Ms. J raised her arm—

"boom!!!!"

A violent, dark blue explosion roared and burst forth in the small space, instantly tearing the structure apart and sending debris flying everywhere.

Lin Chen was thrown into the air by the violent impact, bracing himself with one hand to lift himself up before landing steadily.

He looked up and saw Ms. J slowly walking down the stairs through the smoke and dust.

She shook her arms, and the halos on her armor lit up in circles.

"Pretty impressive," Lin Chen said softly.

"A ghostly blue coating?" Ms. J looked at the faint blue light emanating from Lin Chen's body. "Even for Captain England, this punch of mine would be enough to punch a hole in his chest..."

That statement wasn't an exaggeration; her fist looked like it was powered by Azure Energy...

For a demigod, that thing should be about as effective as the Whale's Roar Bomb.

They're really tough to deal with.

"Senior, we...cough, we escaped," the voice of Embroidery Needle came through Lin Chen's earpiece. "The Rat Gang is firing on us! I identified myself! They're firing on us too!"

"Repeat! The Rat Gang is firing on us!"

"..."

Ms. J, did the rat gang tip you off and then come here?

Looking at the smiling woman in front of him, Lin Chen sighed softly.

As he walked into Gute Street and was surrounded by countless gun barrels, he had a vague premonition of what was to come.

“Chen Minghao…” Lin Chen murmured softly.

What happened to that chef who always had a sunny smile?

“Not quite to your liking, is it?” Ms. J smiled. “Anyone… as long as there is profit to be made, the foundation will assimilate them into its own ranks, including your… lovely old brother.”

"Shut up."

A deep blue light flashed in Lin Chen's eyes, and the next second, Ms. J's expression turned pained.

She could only feel the fluid in her veins boiling—Lin Chen was manipulating her blood.

"Click...click click..."

Her demigod status allowed her to barely stay conscious, but even so, her gaze gradually became unfocused.

Before her head completely exploded, Ms. J slammed her blue-glowing fist down on her head—

"boom!!!"

Another violent, dark blue shockwave struck, forcing Lin Chen to retreat repeatedly.

Several rocks fell from the ceiling, burying Ms. J's body.

"Cough cough," Lin Chen waved his hand to disperse the dust, frowning. "What's the situation outside?"

“I’m hiding, the Foundation’s air force is here…” Li Zhanyi said, panting. “They’re checking my location.”

"Go back to Shuiwa City immediately," Lin Chen said in a low voice. "I'll take charge here."

"Okay, I'll come to Shuiwa City to meet you!"

Lin Chen covered his eyes with his hands, turned his head, opened the triangular door, and went inside.

When he opened his eyes again, he was already inside the encrypted room.

"Brother!" Huihui and Liti quickly came over.

"Is the emergency passage feasible?" he asked the liaison officer, who looked terrified.

“It’s feasible, but the landing point won’t be too far,” the liaison officer nodded. “And it will require using the Ideal State Agreement, so I don’t know if our whereabouts will be discovered.”

"It's alright, we can't worry about that now," Lin Chen said. "Let's drop our luggage and travel light."

"Okay!" Litty decisively threw her suitcase to the other end of the room and slammed it against the wall.

"Snapped!"
