Ling Feng shook his head, "It's fine, I think we should wait here for a while!"

Inside the factory, Chen Lin was already completely bewildered. After he left the second floor, he had gone down to the basement. They wanted to leave Yanjing, and Jackson's abilities were indispensable!

Just when he was threatening and tempting Jackson to drag him into this mess, suddenly the ground shook and a thunderous explosion sounded, causing the basement to collapse instantly, blocking all the escape routes and surrounding them with Blazing Fire and thick smoke in a flash.

Apart from Chen Lin, other weaker members were either stunned by the shock or killed outright by falling walls.

"What on earth is going on!" Chen Lin was nearly driven mad. If it were not in Huaxia, he would even suspect they were under rocket fire!

"Hahaha, interesting, really interesting!" Jackson, hiding in a corner, had a face full of mockery, "Chen Lin, you didn't expect to see this day, did you? Where's that smug look you had a moment ago? Looking back, it's truly ridiculous!"

Clenching his teeth and with eyes red, Chen Lin said, "Jackson, don't force me to kill you!"

"Come on, then!" Jackson mocked, "I'm a dead man anyway, might as well give me a quick end! I'd be thankful to you for that, boss!"

Hearing Jackson's words, Chen Lin instead calmed down, and he coldly glanced at Jackson and said, "You have no power now, slowly feel the taste of despair in this sea of flames!"

Although Chen Lin had no idea what had happened above, such a serious explosion must mean something beyond his control had occurred! It might even be possible that the Dragon Group had come knocking on their door.

Therefore, taking advantage of the current chaos to leave was the right move. Getting caught was a chilling thought for Chen Lin.

"I'm taking off first, kid; enjoy yourself," said Chen Lin as he kicked aside a slab of stone, attempting to break out.

But at that moment, a figure appeared among the flames, and where he went, the flames parted before him as if they were imbued with a hint of fear.

"Who are you?" Seeing the figure, an ominous premonition flashed through Chen Lin's mind.

"Tch tch, finally found you little guys!" The figure gradually became clear. He was holding a chicken leg, eating it while he spoke, "Couldn't you guys wait for me to finish my meal before making a mess? Really, you've spoilt my performance bonus for the month, what a headache!"

Chen Lin's eyes narrowed as he kicked a steel plate at the middle-aged man and then explosively retreated in the opposite direction.

This man is definitely a master from the Dragon Group! Chen Lin thought to himself.

"As if I'd just let you walk away; where would I, Chen Jianfei, put my face?" The middle-aged man chuckled, then pointed with the chicken leg, and suddenly a wall of fire appeared in front of Chen Lin. He couldn't dodge in time and crashed heavily into the wall of fire.

Chen Jianfei said indifferently, "Shrink."

The wall of fire turned into a net of fire that wrapped around Chen Lin, which was then tossed out by Chen Jianfei.

"So, you're Jackson? What a total failure. To have such an incredible ability to manipulate light and yet be beaten down like this, don't ever say you're from the Supernatural realm again. I can't afford to lose that much face!" With a wave of his hand, Chen Jianfei sent a Fire Snake curling around Jackson, flinging him out.

Outside, Chen Ningxue had not given up on persuading Ling Feng, "Ling Feng, it's too dangerous here now. I think you should..."

Suddenly at this moment, Ling Feng's eyes narrowed, "Danger, something's happening!"

As he spoke, he shielded Chen Ningxue in front of him, but then, to everyone's surprise, one by one, individuals tightly bound by a net of fire kept flying out of the sea of flames, raining down like hailstones before Ling Feng.

"What is this..." Ling Feng was somewhat dumbfounded.

The last to fly out were none other than Chen Lin and Jackson.

"What a struggle!" At this time, the middle-aged man Chen Jianfei stepped forward, tossing a chicken bone into the blazing fire behind him, then lightly said one word, "Extinguish!"

With a whoosh, the raging fire that had filled the sky vanished in an instant at Chen Jianfei's word, if not for the lingering heat in the air, they would have thought the fire had been an illusion!

"An S-rank expert, and a rather powerful one within the S-ranks at that!" Ling Feng took a sharp breath, the casual extinguishing of such a large fire indicated that the middle-aged man's study of fire had reached an incredibly profound realm.

"May I ask who the senior is..." Ling Feng stepped forward and asked.

The middle-aged man curiously glanced at Ling Feng, "Eh? Weren't you injured? Why haven't you left yet? Are you waiting for me to treat you to supper? Give it up, young man, I've just eaten my fill, how could I possibly invite you?"

Ling Feng was speechless, this uncle seemed very strong, but also somewhat unreliable!

"If there's nothing else, you'd better leave quickly!" said Chen Jianfei, taking out his car keys, "I still have deliveries to make. You've made such a ruckus, and in the end, it falls on me to clean up. Bad luck. There goes this month's performance bonus!"

With that, Chen Jianfei shook his head and walked over to an old van parked nearby, tossing all the bound people into the vehicle.

Ling Feng approached seriously and said, "Senior, I want to know, were you aware of these people's presence before?"

"Of course, we were!" Chen Jianfei replied, "This is Yanjing, the stronghold of Dragon Group. How could we fail to notice a few little mice entering?"

"Then why didn't you catch them earlier!" Ling Feng took a deep breath and said, "Don't you know, they almost harmed Chen Ningxue!"

"Calm down, young man," Chen Jianfei patted Ling Feng's shoulder, speaking earnestly, "Everything they did was under my control. Wasn't I just trying to catch them all in one go? Moreover, until they made a move, we from Dragon Group couldn't just strike first, right? After all, we are a nation of propriety, we must act with justification, right?"

Ling Feng frowned, clearly unimpressed.

"Actually, if you hadn't shown up, I would have made my move a long time ago!" Chen Jianfei said, "Seeing you secretly following them, I took the chance to grab a bite of stir-fried noodles. I didn't expect that in just that little while, you'd cause such a commotion! What a waste of Liu Chengfeng's praise for you!"

Chen Jianfei acted as if it was all Ling Feng's fault, causing a surge of anger in Ling Feng. So it's my fault now?

"You're still young, and it's understandable that you can't handle things well!" Chen Jianfei spoke with a tone of tolerance, "Alright, your girlfriend is getting anxious now. I have to deliver this batch to Dragon Group. Kid, we'll meet again in the future!"

With that, Chen Jianfei chuckled, patted Ling Feng's shoulder again, and drove the van away.

It was then that Ling Feng let out a hiss, cursing angrily, "That guy did it on purpose, he hit my wounds both times. Damn it, he's infuriating!"
