Chapter 1536 - 1841: Entering the Heavenly List (1)

Under Tang Yuan’s urging, Ling Chen, Nanrong Wanqing, and Leng Feifei were quickly sent to the hospital by ambulance. Although a large group of reporters rushed to interview them, they were all blocked by Tang Yuan.

Inside the ambulance, Ling Chen lay on the stretcher and looked at Tang Yuan beside him, asking, "Old Tang, have you found any results on the thing I asked you to investigate?"

"I checked the fingerprint you gave me earlier. That person was a professional assassin. Unfortunately, he is already dead, so we can’t find out who his employer was."

"Isn’t there still Chen Chong?"

"He is still in the hospital. I’ve already assigned people to keep an eye on him. When we get to the hospital, I will interrogate him personally."

"These two must have planned everything, deliberately setting a big fire to kill the target in the blaze. That way, people would only think it was an accident, not murder."

Tang Yuan curiously asked, "Tang Yuan, who do you think their target might be?"

"I have no idea; it’s either Wanqing or Feifei, definitely one of them. Make sure to let me know after you find out."

As they spoke, the ambulance soon arrived at the hospital. After examination, Ling Chen had several broken ribs and abrasions on his hands and feet, but they were not severe. A period of rest would be enough. When doctors heard that Ling Chen’s injuries were caused by jumping from over twenty floors, they were all wide-eyed in disbelief. Some doctors even suggested a full examination on Ling Chen, as if they were going to dissect him like an alien.

Lying in the special care ward, Ling Chen closed his eyes, recalling the moment he jumped off the building.

The force came in so timely that if it hadn’t, he would have been nothing but a pile of flesh.

Jumping off a building!

Thinking about the talk with Ling Gengqiu back then, Ling Chen couldn’t help but smile. At that time, he asked Ling Gengqiu if he could restore his strength. Ling Gengqiu told him that he had absorbed the medicinal effects of the Nine Elements Pill, but because of lacking a trigger, his strength couldn’t recover.

Later, he asked Ling Gengqiu if there was a quicker way to find this trigger. The ancestor gave him a suggestion, which was to jump off a building and stimulate his potential in a huge crisis. At that time, he thought it was a joke and didn’t take it seriously. Only someone with a mental illness would do something so crazy.

But the facts proved that Ling Gengqiu’s suggestion was correct.

Feeling the mighty inner strength in his dantian, Ling Chen’s smile was very bright. This time, it was a blessing in disguise. Not only did he regain his strength, but his strength surpassed his previous limits, directly breaking through the bottleneck and entering the Heavenly List realm.

Heavenly List!

Previously, he dared only to think about this realm in his heart. Even if he could enter this realm, it would be around forty years old. Now, entering the list of Heavenly List experts in his twenties is unprecedented.

As he was thinking, the door to the ward was pushed open, and Nanrong Wanqing and Leng Feifei walked in from outside.

Both women only had minor injuries and were fine after simple bandaging. After their wounds were treated, they couldn’t wait to rush to Ling Chen’s ward.

"How are you? Are you okay?" Leng Feifei asked with concern.

Ling Chen smiled and said, "I’m fine. I’m tough; these minor injuries are nothing. The doctor said a period of rest will be enough."

"Thank you for saving me."

"No need to thank me; we’re friends, and this is what I should do."

Leng Feifei smiled, seemingly wanting to say something. But seeing Nanrong Wanqing beside her, she hesitated and swallowed her words.

"Ling Chen, Wanqing, you chat first. The company had such a big incident, I have to report to headquarters." After speaking, Leng Feifei turned and left the ward.

"Stop looking, she’s left. If you can’t bear it, I can call her back for you."

Hearing Nanrong Wanqing’s teasing, Ling Chen blushed and couldn’t help but cough lightly twice, quickly focusing his eyes on his own woman, smiling sheepishly, "You misunderstood, I was just..."

"No need to explain." Nanrong Wanqing smiled lightly, "I’m not that petty. Besides, after going through this, I see many things more clearly. As long as you’re thinking of me, I’m very satisfied."

Right after she finished speaking, Xia Mutong and Tang Yuan walked into the ward one after another.

"Tang Yuan, I just went to see Chen Chong with Director Xia."

"How did it go, did you find out anything?"

Xia Mutong shook his head, "We were too late, he was already dead."

"Dead?" Ling Chen was shocked and asked in surprise, "How could he be dead? Wasn’t someone watching him?"

"We checked the surveillance. If we’re not mistaken, someone must have impersonated a doctor, entered his ward, and injected him with a high dose of medication, causing his sudden death."

Beside him, Tang Yuan interjected, "We also checked his identity; Chen Chong is a pseudonym. He was a fugitive for many years and then became an assassin. No matter what, there must be a mastermind behind this incident."

Xia Mutong nodded, "I’ve reported to the leaders. They’re taking this case very seriously and have ordered us to form a special task force to investigate the mastermind thoroughly. However... we’re still unclear about who the target is. So before we solve the case, the safety of Miss Nanrong and Miss Leng will be our responsibility."

"Alright, thank you for your hard work."

...

In the blink of an eye, three days passed.

Although the building fire incident ended, the heat did not diminish at all, and it could be seen on TV news reports every day. Besides the reason for the building fire, people were more concerned about the miraculous escape of Ling Chen and Nanrong Wanqing. Being able to survive a jump from over twenty floors is truly a miracle. Over the past few days, reporters have constantly tried to interview Ling Chen, and the corridor outside Ling Chen’s ward was packed tightly.

Fortunately, Xia Mutong had people stationed, avoiding disturbances.

Due to the persistent news coverage, Ling Chen’s friends all learned about the incident. Over the past few days, Ling Chen received countless calls of concern and comfort.

Putting down the phone, Ling Chen stretched in bed just as Nanrong Wanqing walked in from outside, holding a lot of food.

"I cooked chicken soup today; drink more later."

Ling Chen smiled and said, "You have so much going on, no need to work so hard. With this level of nourishment every day, I’ll soon get fat."

"What’s wrong with getting fat? You’re not a woman; are you afraid no one will want you?" As she spoke, Nanrong Wanqing handed a bowl of chicken soup to Ling Chen.

"I just asked the attending doctor. Your recovery is going well, and you don’t need to stay in the hospital anymore. I’ll help you with the discharge procedures tomorrow."
