Chapter 445: Secret Base
Su Chen certainly knew why Shadow had called. It must have been about a clue to Lv Shimo.
As expected, based on the information Shadow had gathered, Lv Shimo hadn't engaged in any legitimate profession since leaving Jianghai several years ago; instead, he had joined a well-known Mercenary Corps in the Middle East.
However, he was indeed exceptionally capable, and in just over a year's time, he had already claimed the third leading position in the Mercenary Corps!
Moreover, within that Mercenary Corps, he had a lot of prestige and maintained very good relationships with the foremost leaders.
For unknown reasons, the day before yesterday he had hurriedly taken his father, Lv Fang, from Jianghai to the Mercenary Corps' camp in country W of the Middle East, which also served as the headquarters of the Mercenary Corps.
Moreover, since Lv Shimo and his father entered, they had not come out.
Shadow didn't know why Lv Shimo had suddenly gone there, but Su Chen knew that Lv Shimo had definitely arranged for people in Tianshan, watching to see if he could escape his predicament.
Indeed, although Lv Shimo thought that such a massive avalanche meant certain death for Su Chen and Lin Ruoxue, his cautious nature prevailed. To prevent any uncertainties, he had still arranged for two people to stay there and observe.
And when he found out that Su Chen and Lin Ruoxue had returned to Baixing Gully Village on the night of that day, Lv Shimo inexplicably panicked and immediately left Jianghai with his father, returning to the camp.
Lv Shimo had long suspected that the incident with the Liu Family was somehow connected to Su Chen. If that was true, he definitely wouldn't show mercy to them if it came to that...
After returning to the camp, his mind relaxed slightly, but still, given his cautious nature, he hadn't dared to leave the camp at all these next few days.
Only surrounded by hundreds of his subordinates did he feel safe.
In his mind, even if that guy was formidable, he wouldn't run all the way to the Middle East and barge into the camp to kill him, right?
Little did he know, since he was already on Su Chen's blacklist, even if he escaped to the ends of the earth, it was all in vain. Everything was just a matter of time...
With this information, Su Chen was now completely sure that the one who had killed Xiao Dingguo was indeed Lv Shimo.
Being a leader of mercenaries, it was only natural to be acquainted with psychotropic drugs. Read new chapters at My Virtual Library Empire
"What happened?"
Tang Yun saw his expression was somewhat unusual and couldn't help but ask.
"Nothing much."
Su Chen smiled faintly, knowing already where Lv Shimo was, he wasn't worried anymore, let him struggle a little longer.
"By the way, I came to ask you for a favor, there's something I need your help with."
As soon as Su Chen entered, he couldn't help but tease her, and then some things happened that shouldn't have happened. He had almost forgotten about Xiao Xun's matter.
Tang Yun couldn't help but roll her eyes upon hearing this. So, you finally remember the important stuff; what were you doing before?
Just bullying her as soon as he arrived, and her terrifying mother had caught them in the act!
If he had talked business right from the start, none of that would have happened.
"Tell me, what is it?"
Tang Yun snorted coldly, she was a bit curious, wondering what serious business Su Chen could have with her.
Su Chen then talked about Xiao Xun going to school, though he mentioned Xiao Xun as a friend's child.
For such a small matter, Tang Yun didn't hesitate and agreed right away.
"Alright, thank you. I need to travel abroad quickly, so I'll leave my friend's child's matter in your hands," Su Chen said as he stood up.
"What about the matter with my mother?"
Tang Yun asked urgently.
"You'll have to think of a way, no matter the demands, I'll cooperate."
Su Chen had no good idea at the moment and then disappeared like the wind...
Tang Yun immediately felt irritated, thinking, why should I clean up the mess you, bastard, created?
But if she didn't clean it up, who would? She blamed herself for having been conquered by that scoundrel in the first place!
With that thought, Tang Yun's face was once again tinged with a blush...
After leaving Tang Yun's place, Su Chen first went back to the villa and told Lin Ruoxue that he needed to go abroad.
Upon hearing this, Lin Ruoxue immediately became nervous, but she now knew that her husband was no ordinary man and that he must have his reasons for going.
"Is it dangerous?"
Lin Ruoxue, once bitten, twice shy, had developed a knee-jerk reaction since the first time Su Chen went abroad and came back covered in scars.
"Don't worry, that first time was an accident, there won't be any danger this time."
Su Chen smiled easily; he did not at all feel that dealing with a mercenary corps in the Middle East would be dangerous for him.
If that were dangerous, his reputation as Netherworld King would be seriously underserved!
"That's good, just be careful in everything."
Lin Ruoxue still admonished, not completely reassured.
"I know, I'll be back in two or three days."
Su Chen did not find Lin Ruoxue's words nagging; instead, they made him feel warmth and concern.
.....
Su Chen left the residential area, hailed a cab, and headed for Jianghai Airport; he had already booked a flight to Country W during his ride back.
Around noon, the plane took off, arriving at the capital's airport of Country W.
When Su Chen stepped out of the capital's airport of Country W, it was about four or five in the afternoon, still light out. The mercenary corps' camp was located in a city adjacent to the country's capital, just an hour's drive away.
The situation in the Middle East was not much better than in Africa; war had become the norm there, fueled by both interests and historical reasons.
As Country W was at the heart of the Middle East, it was no exception, and its turmoil was even more severe than many other places.
Even in the capital, commerce appeared depressed with few shops open along the way.
This was a major reason why many mercenary groups established their headquarters here; in this place, as long as you had enough power, you had a say.
Although Su Chen could flatten the mercenary corps with his strength alone, moving at night would undoubtedly be more convenient, and there was no need to add unnecessary trouble for such a short amount of time.
So, he decided to first head to a secret base of the Nether Temple in the area to rest for a while, waiting for nightfall to take action.
As the Nether Temple, the ruler of the Dark World, had secret bases worldwide, Su Chen was naturally very familiar with these bases.
In such a place, even getting a taxi was difficult, but fortunately, the airport was not far from the secret location; considering transportation was a necessary factor in the establishment of secret spots.
After a fifteen-minute walk, Su Chen arrived at the entrance of a house, where he entered a string of digital codes next to the front door, and the door opened instantly.
Upon entering the house, he walked straight ahead, then headed down the stairs at the turning point toward the basement.
It could be said that the above part of the house served to deceive the public eye and was indistinguishable from any regular dwelling.
The real secret base of the Nether Temple was actually in the basement of the house...
