At ten o'clock at night, the nightlife in Jianghai was just beginning. From a distance, neon lights flickered everywhere, and the young men and women who had stayed indoors during the day had also started to hit the streets.
Sitting in the car, Su Chen rolled down the window and watched the parade of long, bare legs passing by, finding the sight extremely pleasing to the eye.
"That thing is real, right?" Lin Ruoxue, who had been silent, suddenly spoke.
"What are you talking about?" Su Chen turned his head in confusion.
"I mean, the blue diamond you showed at dinner, it's real, isn't it? Ruohan wasn't wrong, was she?"
Lin Ruoxue tidied up her windswept and somewhat disheveled hair and said nonchalantly.
"Do you believe it?" Su Chen asked indifferently and then turned his head back toward the window.
Do you believe it? Lin Ruoxue didn't know. If it had been before, she would have definitely said she didn't believe, but now, she was a bit unsure.
"Grandpa wants me to arrange something for you to do at the company, too. He says it's not good for you to keep going without a proper job."
After a while, Lin Ruoxue spoke again.
"No need, I've found a job today."
"What job?"
Lin Ruoxue looked at Su Chen with some surprise, obviously not expecting him to take the initiative to find a job.
"Driver."
"You can drive?"
"Is that strange?"
Su Chen closed the car window casually and said.
Yes, it wasn't strange to know how to drive. It was only because Lin Ruoxue's knowledge of him had been virtually nil before that she was surprised.
Since he had already found a job, Lin Ruoxue didn't say anything more.
Su Chen urgently conveyed this with solemnity, although he was still unsure of who the true mastermind behind the affair was, one thing was certain: the opponent was definitely not an ordinary Dark World organization.
Only an organization that could mobilize five to six Qi Refinement Peak experts in one go is almost unseen in the Dark World, not to mention the numerous Late Stage Qi Refinement experts.
It was precisely because he sensed the deep waters of the situation that Su Chen didn't dare to act recklessly; he must first recover his own Cultivation before dealing with the affair.
"I understand, so the old brothers, Demon and Jester, have decided to confirm your whereabouts first before discussing further matters." Lone Wolf nodded over the phone, "However, Hall Master, you know Eniel's temper..."
At these words, Su Chen couldn't help but reveal a wry smile; he certainly understood the temper of Eniel, the princess of an old European royal family—if she truly lost her temper, there was nobody under heaven who could stop her, except perhaps for Su Chen himself.
"I know, if there's any special situation, contact me anytime."
"Alright, I understand." Lone Wolf finally breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this, but then he hesitantly added, "Hall Master, there's something else I need to report to you..."
"What's the matter?"
Su Chen frowned slightly as he detected the seriousness in Lone Wolf's voice.
"When Tang Gang fled yesterday, he took many documents from the laboratory with him; it's clear that he had been planning this for a long time. We couldn't discover it in time, and when we did, it was already too late."
"What? The laboratory's documents were stolen?!"
The usually composed Su Chen suddenly raised his voice in questioning, his tone clearly tense.
"I'm sorry, Hall Master, this is our responsibility."
"This isn't your fault; there's no need for self-blame."
Su Chen understood that Tang Gang and the forces behind him must have been plotting for a long time; with the thoughtful planning against the unaware, it was inevitable that Demon and the others would not react in time.
"Hall Master, is there something particularly important in the laboratory?"
Lone Wolf asked cautiously, his tone tinged with trepidation, as it was rare for Su Chen to have such an extreme reaction.
"Just some old documents, nothing particularly significant," Su Chen reassured him, "Okay, that's all for now, we'll be in touch if anything comes up."
"Hall Master, are you really not coming back now?" Lone Wolf asked, a touch plaintively.
"I still have some things to handle here; we'll talk once I'm done." Su Chen said, and then he hung up the phone.
