Chapter 374 Chasing Lizard Eye (2/3)
After finishing the press conference, everyone began urgently pushing forward again, and Frank Gregory's video was placed on major websites, with the number of clicks skyrocketing frighteningly.
In the afternoon, the public relations department's planning documents were also submitted one after another, and their quality was impressive.
It wasn't until eight o'clock in the evening that Yang Chen stood up, stretched lazily, and said, "Alright!"
His gaze fell on Ye Xin, who was dozing off on the sofa, and he felt a pang of tenderness.
"Honey."
Yang Chen gently walked over and kissed Ye Xin on the cheek, "Let's go home."
Ye Xin, awakened by the kiss, opened her eyes and saw Yang Chen, stretched lazily with a comfortable squint, then wrapped her arms around Yang Chen's arm and pouted, "Hubby, how long did I sleep?"
"Quite a while." Yang Chen affectionately tweaked Ye Xin's delicate nose and laughed, "Come on, let's go home."
"Hmm!" Ye Xin agreed, yet her arms didn't let go, like a child pouting, "Hug me!"
Yang Chen smiled helplessly and picked Ye Xin up in his arms.
Being carried by Yang Chen, Ye Xin glanced over Yang Chen's shoulder and saw Wei Xueqing watching them intently.
She suddenly remembered she was still in Wei Xueqing's office.
Immediately, Ye Xin quickly disentangled herself from Yang Chen.
Wei Xueqing stared blankly at the two, watching their intimate manner, a happiness as if no one else existed...
All of this made Wei Xueqing feel jealous, and also helpless.
She knew deeply that these two people loved each other deeply, like one whole, and no one could wedge into such a complete entity.
At this point, Yang Chen turned around and said to Wei Xueqing, "Xueqing, everything's done, continue with the plan, Ye Xin and I are leaving."
"That's perfect, let's head back together." Wei Xueqing said while packing her things.
"Great! You can sleep over at my place, the whole house has been renovated!" Ye Xin seemed very excited.
Yang Chen felt a bit helpless inside because he knew that as long as Wei Xueqing was around, there'd be no chance for any benefits.
.....
Night.
In an old apartment building.
In front of a computer, seeing the footage shot by the high-resolution camera, someone said in a deep voice, "As expected, they've returned! These two are definitely not ordinary!"
The man began to frown and contemplate.
Currently, Emperor Garden is under tight surveillance, making it difficult to approach for further investigation; only this high-resolution camera from afar can barely capture some outlines at maximum zoom.
"Looks like Flame Country is no longer a place to stay! At least Ningchuan isn't! But before leaving, I must take some things with me!"
Having said that, the man immediately took out a satellite phone and started contacting someone.
.....
Emperor Garden.
Just as Yang Chen expected, the two women went upstairs to chat in private, leaving no chance for him.
Helplessly, he could only go to bed honestly.
But at the dead of night, Yang Chen opened his eyes, took a curved knife from under the bed, and silently left the room.
He had now got certain news.
Lizard Eye is in Room 303, Building Three, old tax department family quarters.
Since Yang Chen knew that once he returned, being discovered by Lizard Eye would surely make him alert and relocate.
So, Yang Chen must pursue aggressively and eliminate him before Lizard Eye leaves!
In the cover of darkness, Yang Chen quickly arrived at the tax department family quarters.
It was already late at night; most of the lights in the neighborhood were off, except for one dimly lit room on the third floor of Building Three.
Yang Chen knew this was 303, the lair of Lizard Eye!
In the silent community, Yang Chen jumped onto the balcony of the first floor, making no sound.
When climbing to the second floor, Yang Chen suddenly stopped because he saw five or six hidden cameras installed on the balcony of the third floor!
But Yang Chen only paused for a moment because from this angle he had already exposed himself to the cameras, so dodging now was futile.
Immediately, Yang Chen sped up and lunged forward.
Yang Chen rushed into the room and found it full of various equipment, but no people.
After searching around, Yang Chen still couldn't find Lizard Eye's total.
Suddenly, Yang Chen swept across the screen, seeing a shadow flash by.
Immediately, Yang Chen leapt down from the third-floor window.
The person had already run away; Yang Chen started pursuing swiftly.
The opponent was fast and had started much earlier than Yang Chen, making the chase quite strenuous.
In the urban environment, the complex terrain made control difficult.
However, the distance between the two was steadily shrinking.
The two ran frantically to the riverbank, and Lizard Eye couldn't help but pull out a gun and shoot backward.
But Yang Chen had long foreseen Lizard Eye's move and dodged immediately, making the shot miss entirely.
Just before entering the riverbank, Yang Chen caught up with Lizard Eye and slashed down.
Lizard Eye quickly raised the gun to block, but the gun was instantly knocked away.
At this moment, the two faced each other directly, officially engaging in battle.
Upon seeing Yang Chen, Lizard Eye's pupils shrank suddenly, feeling that Yang Chen looked familiar.
"Who are you!" Lizard Eye asked coldly.
Yang Chen fixed his gaze on Lizard Eye, eyes slightly squinted, filled with killing intent, "The one who'll kill you!"
Upon hearing this, Lizard Eye couldn't help but take a step back.
After the simple momentary skirmish and such a long chase, Lizard Eye knew the person before him was definitely not simple; perhaps... he might not be able to compete with him.
"Buddy, this has nothing to do with you; you're a mercenary, mercenaries need money. I can give you that, but please let me go. We have nothing to do with each other; you're risking your life for nothing!" Lizard Eye tried to persuade Yang Chen.
Yang Chen snorted coldly, staring at Lizard Eye, "You should've known the consequences when you stepped on this Flame Country land; you should've seen this coming!"
"But I still want to say, we're not enemies!" Lizard Eye still wouldn't give up.
"Tell me, what is your purpose for coming to Flame Country?" Yang Chen pressed, staring at Lizard Eye.
Lizard Eye shook his head, "I absolutely won't tell you that."
"But if I exchange it for your life, then when did mercenaries like A become so trustworthy?" Yang Chen taunted.
Lizard Eye shook his head, "It's not about trustworthiness, it's for other reasons. I won't tell you. But buddy, we have no grievances; if I give you money, how about it? You give me an account, I'll immediately transfer five million to you, just let me go, and I'll give you another five million—no, ten million! How about it?"
Yang Chen laughed coldly, indifferent to this, and said coldly, "Lizard Eye, do you know why Flame Country is called a forbidden place?"
