Chapter 212: Chapter 212: Breakthrough

That night, the plane carrying the two smoothly landed at Zhonghai International Airport.

In theory, after such a "thrilling" journey, Yang Chen should have felt quite mentally exhausted. However, at the moment the plane touched down, Yang Chen felt energized.

It had been almost a year since he returned to China, staying in Zhonghai and experiencing many memorable events on this land.

Now, he could say that his home was here. While he didn't feel particularly homesick when he was away, once he returned here, he couldn't resist missing his small home and the people there.

When they reached the parking lot, Mo Qian Ni took her luggage from Yang Chen's hands. Under the dim light, she looked at Yang Chen with a somewhat pitiful expression. "Don't ignore me as soon as we get home. Remember to think of me all the time."

"My dear, why would I ignore you? Besides, I can't control what I dream about when I sleep. How could I possibly think of you all the time?" Yang Chen said with a smile.

"Can't you say something nice to coax me?" Mo Qian Ni said unhappily.

Yang Chen thought for a moment. "How about you don't go back, and we get a room instead? That way, I'll guarantee to think of you all night and keep my eyes on you. Besides, our mom is eager for a child."

"Forget it! I won't be foolish enough to give myself up before you settle with the main wife and establish your position. Before that, I won't just hand myself over!"

After speaking, Mo Qian Ni threw a encouragingly seductive glance and swayed towards her red Audi.

Yang Chen thought to himself that these women were not easy to deal with, and he could only smile helplessly before turning to walk towards where he parked his car.

Half an hour later, Yang Chen drove his BMW, which hadn't been moved for several days, back to the outside of Longjing Garden Villa. It was nearly midnight by then. Since he hadn't specifically informed them earlier, Yang Chen assumed the two women at home had already gone to bed. However, the lights were still on.

With a hint of curiosity, Yang Chen parked the car and was about to enter when the door opened from inside.

"Miss, you're finally back!"

It was Wang Mama, wearing pajamas, but her eyes widened at the sight of the dusty Yang Chen, dragging his suitcase.

"Master? You're back! Look at me, my eyes are tired." Wang Mama wrinkled her brows and smiled as she ushered Yang Chen in. "Why didn't you inform us when you were coming home? I could have prepared some food for you. You must be hungry. The dinner on the plane probably wasn't good. Do you want me to make you some noodles now?"

"No need, I'm not hungry." Yang Chen was used to Wang Mama's fussing and slightly curious. "Has Ruoxi not returned home yet?"

Lin Ruoxi's life was very regular, especially on workdays. She would leave for work early in the morning and return home after work. She usually worked until around ten o'clock at night before going to bed.

She didn't have many friends, and those she had were also busy people. Besides watching TV and reading books, she didn't do much else for entertainment on weekdays.

"Sir, we hope you don't disturb our work. We've already spoken to you as politely as possible. Please leave quickly!" The security guard was a bit annoyed. Was this guy crazy? He looked like a beggar and acted like he was the boss? And now he wanted to search for someone?!

Shaking his head helplessly, Yang Chen said, "Well, then, I'm sorry. It could have been resolved more politely."

With that, Yang Chen suddenly stepped forward, grabbed the collars of the two security guards, lifted them up, and threw them towards the nearby indoor fountain!

"Splash, splash!"

Two splashes of water flew up as the two security guards, totaling over three hundred pounds together, were thrown into the pool. They started shouting frantically in the water, "Help! Help! Someone's trying to force their way in!"

Several security guards and customer service staff around immediately became nervous, and several more security guards rushed over, surrounding Yang Chen.

Meanwhile, a woman who looked like the lobby manager started calling the police.

Yang Chen chuckled inwardly. Let them call the police.

"Everyone, I'm here to find my wife. If you don't want to get hurt, step aside. Otherwise, although I don't kill people, it's inevitable to get a few minor injuries," Yang Chen said as he walked towards the staircase. Naturally, he wouldn't be foolish enough to take the elevator; if they cut off the power, he would be trapped inside.

Several security guards naturally wouldn't compromise and rushed up one after another, trying to intercept Yang Chen.

But Yang Chen effortlessly dealt with them one by one, using moves too fast to be seen clearly, and threw all the security guards into the pool in the lobby, shocking the workers and guests in the lobby.

There were a lot of security personnel in Emperor Tower, but as Yang Chen walked, he handled the guards who came at him with batons. Even if he occasionally got shocked, it felt more like a scratch to him, and he wasn't afraid at all.

When he reached the staircase, Yang Chen glanced at the floors where the offices were located and immediately spotted the topmost door—the security surveillance room. So, he quickly walked over there.

Downstairs, the commotion had already disturbed the guests throughout the entire building. Security personnel from the tower swarmed to the second floor, crazily obstructing Yang Chen.

After Yang Chen opened the door to the surveillance room, he locked it from the inside. The door was made of metal, so it wouldn't be easily broken through by the people outside.

After dealing with the two security guards inside the room, who were drinking coffee, Yang Chen estimated Lin Ruoxi's arrival time at Emperor Tower based on the information provided by Wang Ma. Then he adjusted the surveillance footage to that time period and began rapidly scanning all the screens by himself.

Outside the door, the frantic security guards managed to find spare keys from somewhere and finally opened the door. Then they surged in like a tide.

At this moment, Yang Chen happened to capture the moment when Lin Ruoxi, dressed in a black professional suit, entered the building. Feeling pleased, he saw the group rushing towards him and felt annoyed. Relying on his hearing, he watched the surveillance screen while using his hands to deal with the security guards who got close to him.

Occasionally, a few security guards were unintentionally injured by Yang Chen's heavy-handedness, with broken ribs and crying on the ground, which frightened the other guards.

This inadvertently facilitated Yang Chen in tracking Lin Ruoxi's route. After about three minutes, Yang Chen finally locked onto Lin Ruoxi's destination—the dining department on the twenty-seventh floor, a private room called "Knight".

Just then, the sound of police sirens came from downstairs. Yang Chen knew the police would arrive soon, so he didn't wait any longer. He waved to the group of frightened security guards, then quickly left the surveillance room, and directly rushed up the stairs, heading to the twenty-seventh floor.
