"Alright, if that's the case, then I'll accompany you to verify it!"
Lin Shuang immediately said.
Today, she absolutely would not let Li Ziling out of her sight.
However, as a woman seeking news of her father, she couldn't bring herself to extinguish Li Ziling's hope.
She could only accompany Li Ziling.
"Teacher Lin, you..."
Li Ziling looked at Lin Shuang with confusion.
Lin Shuang smiled slightly, "You are still young and don't know the wickedness of human hearts. As your teacher, I can protect you when you encounter danger. Let's go."
Although Azhu and Li Ziling didn't believe they would be in danger, Lin Shuang's actions touched them deeply.
They immediately agreed to Lin Shuang accompanying them.
Although Lin Shuang had promised Li Ziling not to tell Chen Jie about this matter, it involved Li Ziling's safety, so she secretly informed Chen Jie.
Upon learning of the matter, Chen Jie thought for a moment and replied to Lin Shuang, "They should not be in any immediate danger. Protect them well, and inform me immediately if any danger arises."
"Understood!"
Chen Jie pondered again and then called Lü Gang.
He asked Lü Gang to bring his men to secretly follow the three of them. If Lin Mengjiao encountered danger, Lü Gang and his men could provide support.
Lü Gang was more than happy to comply with Chen Jie's request, as his father's instruction was for him to try his best to curry favor with Chen Jie.
...
"Master, let's go in," Lin Mengjiao said to Chen Jie as they arrived at the entrance of Villa No. 1.
"Mm, let's go!"
Chen Jie nodded and entered the villa with Lin Mengjiao.
Soon, they met Ji Tong.
Ji Tong nervously greeted them, "Mr. Chen, you've finally arrived. I received a message from the person in charge of the Tianyi Sect. They have already arrived at the airport and will be here within an hour at most!"
Although his severed limbs had been reattached, his strength was gone.
When the people from the Tianyi Sect arrived, they would surely discover his betrayal. Without his strength, he wouldn't even have a chance to escape.
For the past three days, Lingling and Xiaoyu had been monitoring him twenty-four hours a day, and he dared not make any sudden moves.
"Very well, I will help you recover your strength now."
Chen Jie turned to Lingling and Xiaoyu, who were waiting respectfully, and said, "You two, go find He Yufei."
The two said in unison, "Boss, we want to stay by your side to help you deal with enemies!"
"Thank you for your kindness, but you won't be able to help me much from now on. Staying here will only be a burden. Go."
"Alright then." The two could only obey Chen Jie's command.
Next, Chen Jie took out a pill from his storage ring and handed it to Ji Tong.
"Take this."
Ji Tong did not hesitate and swallowed it. He was a useless person to Chen Jie now, and if Chen Jie wanted his life, it would be a matter of a single thought. There was no need to use a pill to trick him.
The pill melted in his mouth, and immediately a surge of powerful Yuan energy rose from his abdomen.
His internal injuries were completely healed, and his shattered Sea of Qi was also repaired.
This was one of the pills Chen Jie obtained from Wutai Mountain, called the Yuan Nurturing Pill. It had a certain effect on cultivators, and its effect on martial artists was even more immediate.
In a short while, Ji Tong recovered his peak strength, reaching the Heavenly rank.
Ji Tong was filled with shock.
He immediately knelt on one knee and said, "Mr. Chen, from now on, I am willing to stay by your side and work for you!"
Such methods were too miraculous, unlike anything he had ever seen before.
He thought that if he could follow Chen Jie, one day when Chen Jie was pleased, even a small reward would significantly increase his strength.
"First, let's eliminate the Tianyi Sect. Later, Lin Mengjiao and I will pose as your subordinates. Your primary objective is to lure all the members of the Tianyi Sect into the villa! Once they enter, they will have no escape!"
Chen Jie said calmly.
Although Ji Tong didn't know why Chen Jie was so confident, he had already placed complete trust in Chen Jie and immediately agreed.
At this moment, Ji Tong's phone rang.
Ji Tong answered the call and spoke for a few sentences.
He then hung up and said nervously to Chen Jie, "Mr. Chen, they have arrived, and they are right outside the door!"
"Very good, let's go and welcome them!"
Chen Jie signaled Ji Tong to walk in front.
He and Lin Mengjiao were to act as Ji Tong's subordinates, and Ji Tong was currently the owner of this villa.
With a creak, the door opened.
A man in tight-fitting clothes stood outside the door.
A taxi was driving away in the distance.
Seeing this man, Ji Tong's expression changed: "Ji Yu!"
This Ji Yu was his fellow townsman. He had always been superior to him in the Tianyi Sect and often bullied him.
Over the years, he had suffered much humiliation from that person.
But unfortunately, the other party was at the peak of the Heavenly rank, only one step away from entering the Grandmaster realm, and he was no match for him.
Then, he suddenly asked, "Ji Yu, why are you alone? Haven't more than half of the experts from our Tianyi Sect been dispatched?"
Ji Yu surveyed the villa, his chest crossed, with a nonchalant air.
He did not answer Ji Tong's question but walked past Ji Tong and directly into the villa.
"Not bad. It's worth the organization spending ten billion cash for you to buy this villa. The location is quiet amidst the bustle, and it might serve as a base for a branch of our Tianyi Sect in the future," Ji Yu murmured.
"Ji Yu, where are the others from our Tianyi Sect?"
Ji Yu glanced at him sideways and asked, "Where is Ma Shuai and the others?"
Ji Tong's heart tightened, thinking, "Has he discovered something?"
He immediately replied, "We encountered a master before, and Ma Shuai and the other two were seriously injured. To prevent them from leaking information, I killed them directly!"
"Oh? Then who are those two?" Ji Yu suddenly pointed at Chen Jie and Lin Mengjiao and questioned them sternly.
Ji Tong became extremely nervous again.
He thought Ji Yu had recognized Chen Jie and Lin Mengjiao's identities.
But he still forced a calm demeanor and said, "These two are new assistants I've recruited. They have considerable combat strength and can serve as the laborers for our Tianyi Sect!"
"Hahaha... Ji Tong, you can fool others with these words, but you can't fool me!"
Ji Yu immediately said dismissively.
Cold sweat was dripping from Ji Tong's forehead.
Chen Jie also frowned.
Lin Mengjiao tensed her body, ready to deliver a fatal blow to Ji Yu at any moment.
The next second, Ji Yu pointed at Lin Mengjiao and said, "You damn bastard, finding such a beautiful and exceptional woman by your side, your intentions are as clear as day to everyone!"
"You must have had a good time these past few days!"
Hearing this, Lin Mengjiao let out a sigh of relief, while her eyes turned cold!
Her body was only meant to be coveted by her master!
Ji Tong also breathed a sigh of relief and chuckled ambiguously, "Why did only you come alone?"
"Because the organization feared that you would be co-opted by the Dragon Group and set a trap here, so I was sent to check the situation first!" Ji Yu said.
