Chapter 280: Chapter 276: Major Disturbance at the Jiang Family 3 Just at that moment, Ling Chen’s door was flung open, and Jiang Han appeared with an irritated expression, shouting, "What the...?" However, before he could finish, his eyes locked onto Ling Chen’s, his complexion changed dramatically, and, shocked and terrified, he exclaimed, "It’s you!" Ling Chen flashed a grin, "Mr. Jiang, we meet again." As soon as he finished speaking, without waiting for Jiang Han to react, Ling Chen’s fist had already swung out, smashing viciously into Jiang Han’s nose. "Ah!" A miserable howl erupted as blood spurted from Jiang Han’s nostrils like a breached flood barrier, quickly staining his shirt red. Clutching his broken nose, Jiang Han was in so much pain that tears and snot mixed on his face, and he bellowed with his facial muscles contorted, "Ling Chen, you..." "Shut your mouth!" Ling Chen snapped coldly. He delivered a savage kick to Jiang Han’s abdomen. Struck by the power, Jiang Han immediately lost his balance, leaning back from the waist and retreating uncontrollably, ending up seated on the floor inside of the room. "Ling Chen, do not harm our young master." Concerned for Jiang Han’s safety, Qiu Wen and Qiu Wu yelled out, ready to charge forward. Ling Chen suddenly turned his head, sweeping a cold, penetrating gaze over the pair, and said icily, "Whoever dares to come in, I’ll kill them on the spot." At those words, Qiu Wen and his brother felt a sinking feeling in their hearts and immediately halted their advance, not daring to act recklessly. If anything happened to Mr. Jiang, neither could escape responsibility. After thinking it through, it seemed wiser to wait and see how things would unfold. Seeing they no longer pressed forward, Ling Chen’s expression relaxed slightly, and he stepped back into the room, casually shutting the door behind him. But hearing the continuous wails and screams from behind, Ling Chen grew annoyed and, without a second thought, delivered another kick to ensure Jiang Han would stay quiet. "Ling Chen?" At this moment, Nanrong Wanqing, who was sitting on the bed, looked at the man approaching with disbelief, feeling as though she was dreaming, an unreal sensation. "You... you were captured, weren’t you?" "Who told you I was captured, and you actually believe their lies?" Ling Chen said with a slight smile, moving to her side and gently caressing her cheek, asking with concern, "Are you okay?" Feeling the warmth of his palm, along with his familiar breath and voice, Nanrong Wanqing unconsciously raised her hand to rest it on the back of his, her eyes glistening with tears. She wasn’t dreaming; it was truly him. She had always believed that Ling Chen would come to her rescue, but upon hearing he had been captured, it felt as though the sky had collapsed, all hope turning to dust, her heart was dead and ashen. Until this moment, seeing Ling Chen truly standing before her, she felt a lump in her throat, and even though she was normally strong, she couldn’t suppress the urge to cry. "It’s okay, you’re safe now." Seeing the tears welling in her eyes, Ling Chen was fully aware of her emotions, gently pulling her into his embrace, patting her back to comfort her, "With me here, no one can hurt you. That’s my promise to you." "Mhm." Nanrong Wanqing wrapped her arms around him, her pretty face against his chest, murmuring in agreement, with both joy and a hint of shyness in her beautiful eyes. She had known Ling Chen for so long and even though they were close, he had never said such things to her. To her, it was not just a confession, but a promise for a lifetime. "Tang Yuan, how are things on your end?" At that moment, Old Tang’s voice came through the earpiece, breaking up the tender moment between them. However, Old Tang’s words also snapped Ling Chen back to reality. They were in danger, and it wasn’t the time for intimacy. "Wanqing has been found, she’s with me." "Can you make it to the rendezvous point?" Ling Chen glanced at the unconscious Jiang Han and replied, "Should be no problem, wait for us there." After ending the call, Ling Chen turned to look at Nanrong Wanqing, collected his emotions, and said seriously, "We need to leave." "They took away my wheelchair." "That’s not a problem." Ling Chen’s mouth curled slightly, lifting the black backpack beside him onto the bed, then unzipped it and took out a set of equipment. Nanrong Wanqing’s expression showed slight astonishment, and she said curiously, "This is...?" "Exoskeleton armor." Ling Chen nodded and said with a smile, "Didn’t you tell me last time that those people had custom-made a set of exoskeleton armor for you? This is it. It just got finished recently, and Old Tang brought it over when he came. Here, let me help you put it on." With Ling Chen’s help, it didn’t take long for Nanrong Wanqing to put on the exoskeleton armor, and once she draped a coat over it, nothing seemed amiss from the outside. Leaning on Ling Chen’s arm for support, Nanrong Wanqing cautiously tried a few steps. With her intelligence, she quickly mastered the knack of the exoskeleton armor. Although she was not yet proficient, walking normally was not a problem. Being able to stand up and walk again without the wheelchair was something Nanrong Wanqing had longed for. Seeing the excited glow on her pretty face, Ling Chen smiled slightly and reminded her, "Alright, don’t just be happy, we can celebrate after we escape from the Jiang family." With that, he walked over to Jiang Han, reached out to grab Jiang Han’s collar, and lifted him up from the ground. Seeing Jiang Han still unconscious, Ling Chen slapped him hard across the cheek, producing a loud smack. The pain woke Jiang Han slightly dazed, and when he saw Ling Chen in front of him, his face changed, fear in his eyes as he hurriedly said, "Li... Ling Chen, this is the Jiang family. If you dare touch a hair on me, neither of you will leave alive." "Don’t be afraid, I won’t hurt you. I’m counting on you to lead us out." After speaking, Ling Chen ignored Jiang Han’s struggle, dragging his body and striding towards the door. The door opened, and outside, dozens of security personnel had already gathered, filling the Siheyuan courtyard to the brim. Facing such a grand scene, Ling Chen smiled lightly, his clear eyes showing no trace of fear. "Get up!" he commanded lightly. He pulled Jiang Han to stand in front of him, grabbed his neck with one hand, and with the other hand drew a dagger, pressing it against his vital spot, and began to step outside. At this moment, Jiang Yu, dressed in a suit and flanked by Qiu Wen and Qiu Wu, emerged from the crowd, his gaze cold and steadfast as he fixed it on Ling Chen. Seeing the newcomer, Jiang Han seemed to see a savior, and immediately started yelling, "Big brother, save me, hurry!" "Ling Chen, let my brother go right now." "It’s possible. Just ensure our safe departure, and I’ll release him immediately." Hearing this, Jiang Yu glanced at Nanrong Wanqing behind Ling Chen, his eyebrows knotted and his eyes hesitant, without responding for a long moment. Seeing this, Ling Chen’s expression turned cold, and he pressed the dagger lightly against Jiang Han’s neck, creating a fine cut from which bright red blood slowly started to ooze out, striking and alarming. "Stop!" Jiang Yu quickly shouted, his tone anxious, "Fine, I’ll let you go, but you must promise not to hurt my brother."
