47: Chapter 41: Someone committed suicide by jumping off a building 47: Chapter 41: Someone committed suicide by jumping off a building The next day, Lin Yi and Li Chen went to the company together. Li Chen’s purpose in coming to the company today was to rebuild his laboratory. Since his previous lab was destroyed, he had not started building a new one; he had been temporarily stationed within the Fragrance Laboratory. Today, he intended to find a new place to set up his own lab. Although his former laboratory had been sabotaged once, in general, Lin’s Group was still the most suitable location. However, this time, Li Chen needed to find an even more secretive spot—a place known only to himself. The laboratory was his top priority. Even though Third Grandpa had intervened to suppress the injuries within his body, it was only a temporary solution for one month. Without the laboratory to produce Substance Z, the moniker “King of the Netherworld” would be nothing but an empty title after a month, and his abilities would be severely limited and not fully expressible. Lin Yi, although somewhat aloof from him today, seemed to have softened her attitude a great deal. Leaving Lin Yi’s side, Li Chen first went to the 9th floor to have a look. “Good morning,” Li Chen greeted Wang Qianqian as she approached. Raising her head and recognizing Li Chen, Wang Qianqian thought back to the events of the previous night. A blush crept onto her face, and she lowered her head, uttering a short “Hmm” before quickly walking past him. Watching Wang Qianqian walk by, Li Chen couldn’t help but give a wry smile. What’s with this girl? Pretending not to know him, Li Chen touched his nose and then entered the laboratory. After checking around and casually resolving a few of Wang Lei’s questions about perfumes, Li Chen left the 9th floor and began to survey the entire Lin’s Group complex. The 9th floor was no longer suitable for a lab; he needed to find another place. Without any time constraints, Li Chen started from the 9th floor and worked his way down, checking each level. Each floor of Lin’s Group was different. On the 5th floor, Li Chen was surprised to find it resembled an expansive plaza, albeit with many rooms. This was the cosmetic research and development department of Lin’s Group, but it was already quite populated, unlike the 9th floor which had more vacant rooms. While perusing the 5th floor, Li Chen accidentally stumbled upon an available room that would be quite suitable as a laboratory. This vacant room was originally meant to be a storage area along with another room, but since the Perfumer’s department had moved to the 9th floor, this storeroom had gradually fallen into disuse. After inspecting the room, it indeed seemed large enough to serve as a laboratory. This is the one! Li Chen decided then and there. Also, being at the cosmetics R&D department made it a good cover, ensuring more security for his lab. Once decided, Li Chen immediately went back and had several perfumers start moving things. He didn’t need to consult Lin Yi for such a small matter as obtaining a room; she would agree to it. Cleaning the room and moving equipment took a bit over an hour to complete. After everything was done, Li Chen then resumed his research and development of Substance Z. During this time, Wang Qianqian always worked diligently. Whatever Li Chen directed her to do, she did, but from beginning to end, Wang Qianqian simply wouldn’t speak. “Qianqian, take this instrument over there.” “Qianqian, help purify this potion.” “Qianqian, fuse these two potions together.” “Qianqian...” ... Seeing Wang Qianqian ignoring him possibly due to last night’s incident, Li Chen also began continuously directing her, and for so long, Wang Qianqian remained silent. About two hours later, Li Chen was tired. Seeing that Wang Qianqian still remained silent, he concocted a plan, “Qianqian, I’m a little thirsty. Go get me a drink, and not the ones from inside the company—they lack authenticity. Go buy it from outside.” This request from Li Chen was somewhat unreasonable, but still, Wang Qianqian didn’t say anything and simply walked out of the room. This girl... Li Chen shook his head. What was so terrible about last night’s impromptu kiss that she’d be acting like this all of a sudden? Just like Lin Yi... Li Chen turned back and continued directing the others in purifying potions. About a minute later, while Li Chen was giving instructions, he thought he suddenly heard Wang Qianqian calling out to him. “Li Chen! Li Chen!” Qianqian? Li Chen listened again, but the voice seemed to have disappeared. Shaking his head, he wondered if after all these days, he was starting to hear things. But would the King of the Netherworld be subject to auditory hallucinations? Ranked fourth on the Main God Ranking, Li Chen’s abilities were exceptionally top-notch in every aspect, including his hearing. Just then, Wang Qianqian’s voice reappeared, “Li Chen! Li Chen!” Following it, there seemed to be the distant sound of wailing sirens. No, that’s not right! Li Chen’s pupils shrank, and his steps halted. He couldn’t have misheard; it was undoubtedly Wang Qianqian’s voice. He went straight to the window, pulled it open, and as he looked down, he saw Wang Qianqian being bound by several men in black and stuffed into a van! Qianqian! Li Chen’s eyes suddenly narrowed. Weren’t those men in black from the Hell Skeleton Organization? Li Chen’s rage flared up. The fact that the Hell Skeleton Organization had persistently targeted his loved ones, putting others in danger, had provoked his fury. When the King of the Netherworld was enraged, a thousand corpses would float for miles! At this moment, Wang Qianqian was being forcefully shoved into the vehicle, and if he didn’t act quickly, she would be abducted. “Qianqian!” With that shout, everyone in the laboratory turned their attention to Li Chen. Li Chen yelled in anger, glanced below, and saw that he was on the fifth floor, but there was a protruding glass roof below. As Wang Qianqian was about to be taken away and the van had already started, one of the men in black seemed to notice Li Chen on the fifth floor. He made a gesture at Li Chen and then closed the van door. Without any hesitation, Li Chen immediately jumped down! “Team leader!” Everyone in the laboratory was shocked. What happened, did the team leader suddenly have suicidal thoughts? Li Chen fell straight down like a thousand catty drop, yet True Qi already circulated through his body, flowing into his limbs as he slightly adjusted his posture in mid-air. Passersby nearby also noticed what was happening, and someone immediately shouted aloud. “Mommy, look, someone is falling!” A little girl pointed at Li Chen and said to her mother. Then her mother looked up, saw Li Chen, and was immediately stupefied. “Someone is jumping off a building to commit suicide!” It only took a second for the mother to shout loudly, and other onlookers also looked up. Everything happened so fast, just a few seconds. Those onlookers watched Li Chen fall from the fifth floor with their mouths agape. It was too late to call the police at this point, they’d better call for an ambulance instead. Li Chen fell rapidly, eyeing the glass canopy. He adjusted his body and just as he was about to land, True Qi surged into his feet. Then, like a War God descending from the heavens, he smashed heavily onto the glass canopy! Crack! A loud crash echoed, and suddenly, web-like cracks spread where he had landed on the glass canopy, with crunching sounds indicating the glass could in no way withstand the force of Li Chen’s fall from above. Seeing Li Chen fall, the bystanders felt their hearts tremble as a living person passed away right before their eyes, causing an inevitable emotional shock. But the following second, those who had already begun to mourn in their hearts suddenly bulged their eyes in surprise, even more astonished than when they first saw Li Chen jump down. “Mommy, that man didn’t die,” the little girl said, tugging at her mother’s hand. Not dead? Indeed, not dead! Li Chen looked up at the departing van. Once again, he fiercely stomped his foot, shooting forth like an arrow leaving the bow. The glass canopy, having borne the brunt of Li Chen’s descent, suddenly shattered into fragments that fell toward the hall’s entrance. Seeing Li Chen full of vigor, the perfumers who had peered out from above were also dumbstruck! How could the team leader be so terrifying? They glanced at each other, and then one cautiously asked, “Team leader, are you human?” The others, stunned for a long while as if petrified, shook their heads. Could a normal person jump from the fifth floor and still be alive? You’ve got to be kidding me. Meanwhile, Li Chen had already fixed his gaze on the van ahead!
