Yang Zixuan was a perceptive woman, and she noticed something unnatural in Ling Zhenfei's expression, although she couldn't pinpoint what it was, so she asked with a puzzled look.

"Really... there's really nothing wrong!"

Under her intense gaze, Ling Zhenfei became somewhat uneasy and had to look away.

However, although he couldn't directly reveal Du Kongting's conspiracy, he also couldn't neglect to subtly warn Yang Zixuan to be careful. If Du Kongting did get an opportunity to harm Yang Zixuan, his own guilt would be immense!

After some thought, Ling Zhenfei had to put on a very natural expression and said casually to Yang Zixuan, "Zi Xuan, when you are working alone at the company, you should also pay more attention to your safety. I just saw Hua Xiangyang and He Jiajun and it seemed they were up to no good..."

He could only say so much, as saying too much would seem to reveal his true intentions.

"Um, thank you, Big Brother Ling, I will be careful!"

Yang Zixuan, not detecting the implied meaning in Ling Zhenfei's words, looked at him gratefully and nodded.

"Okay, Zi Xuan, you go ahead with your work, I'll come see you next time!" Seeing that it was getting late, Ling Zhenfei stood up, ready to take his leave.

"Um, Big Brother Ling, take care!"

Yang Zixuan, somewhat reluctantly, saw Ling Zhenfei out of the office hall and watched as he entered the elevator before she returned.

Ling Zhenfei walked out of the company's main door, and just as he was about to leave, he seemed to remember something, took out his phone, and dialed Jiang Hao's number.

Although he had just subtly warned Yang Zixuan to be cautious, Yang Zixuan was ultimately a woman, and her alertness could not match his. Moreover, with Du Kongting lurking in the shadows, he was extremely difficult to guard against.

Ling Zhenfei was now entangled in various matters, and although he wanted to protect Yang Zixuan personally, he was stretched too thin to do so.

The only solution now was to ask a martial arts expert to protect Yang Zixuan secretly in his stead.

And among such experts, Ling Zhenfei thought the most trustworthy was none other than Jiang Hao.

"Hello, Young Master Ling, is there something you need?" As soon as the call connected, Jiang Hao's steady voice came through.

Jiang Hao knew very well that Ling Zhenfei would not call him without good reason; if he did call, there definitely was something he needed Jiang Hao to do.

"Brother Jiang, a friend of mine is being targeted by some villains, and I would like to ask you to protect her for a while."

Ling Zhenfei knew Jiang Hao was a straightforward person, and with such people, there was no need for superfluous talk. He got straight to the point as soon as he spoke.

"Okay!"

True to form, Jiang Hao didn't even need a second to think it over before he agreed immediately.

"Thank you, Brother Jiang, I will send you my friend's information and a picture to your phone shortly. These next few days, I'm sorry for the trouble!"

Jiang Hao's unhesitating response further affirmed Ling Zhenfei's judgement that Jiang Hao was indeed a reliable person!

After sending Yang Zixuan's information to Jiang Hao, Ling Zhenfei finally felt the weight lifted from his heart, at least for the moment.

He knew that although Jiang Hao's abilities were not high, they were enough to deal with someone like Du Kongting. Even if Jiang Hao were to be defeated, he would definitely not let Du Kongting gain the upper hand.

Just after hanging up the phone, Ling Zhenfei was about to return the luxury car to Fatty when Han Lian's call came through again.

"Zhenfei, we have conducted a sudden interrogation of Hei Biao and Wang Changming, and they have confessed to all their crimes."

As soon as the call connected, Han Lian said eagerly, "The women held in the underground base have all been identified, and we are notifying their families to come and pick them up. However, the missing woman is still unaccounted for."

"Hmm, we must find that woman as soon as possible," Ling Zhenfei nodded and said, "Han Lian, do you have a photo of the missing woman? Send me one, I will also help look for her."

"Okay, the missing girl's name is Xie Lina, 23 years old, from Chuanshu Province. I'll send her photo to your WeChat in a moment. Zhenfei, you have many friends, ask everyone to help spread the word and search for her."

Han Lian responded, and seconds later, she sent several photos to Ling Zhenfei.

Ling Zhenfei looked at the photos and found that the woman named Xie Lina was indeed quite attractive. Such a good girl, falling into the hands of traffickers, was truly a pity.

Han Lian spoke with Ling Zhenfei for a few more minutes, then suddenly said in a very serious tone, "By the way, according to Hei Biao and Wang Changming, that underground base is merely a branch of the trafficking ring, they are just puppets being manipulated by others."

"The real mastermind behind the scenes, and the notorious Chen You, are still hiding in Binyang City and have not left the country. Director Guo just held an emergency meeting to dig deeper into the mastermind and the Chen family."

"The mastermind behind the scenes? The Chen family?"

Upon hearing this, Ling Zhenfei's expression became grave. Although he had already suspected this possibility, hearing it from Han Lian was still quite shocking.

The Chen family, this despicable human trafficking organization, has taken the trafficking of humans to such an extreme—it's utterly abhorrent!

As for the mastermind controlling everything, that person is even more despicable and hateful!

Although Ling Zhenfei was itching to immediately twist that person's head off, upon hearing Han Lian's words, he still felt puzzled, "If Hei Biao and Wang Changming have already confessed, they must know the hiding places of the mastermind and the Chen family. Didn't you extract this crucial information from them?"

"We asked, how could we not have asked?"

Han Lian sighed deeply and said in a grave voice, "Didn't I just mention that Hei Biao and Wang Changming are merely puppets?

They only know what the mastermind and the Chen family want them to know. As for other secrets, let alone who the mastermind is or what they look like, they have never even seen them…"

So it was like this!

After hearing Han Lian's explanation, Ling Zhenfei was even more shocked.

It appeared that this mastermind was indeed extraordinary; even such formidable characters as Hei Biao and Wang Changming were firmly under their control, and they had never even seen his face!

As for the Chen family, whose names were notorious yet whose faces were unseen, their relationship with this hidden mastermind must be unimaginably deep!

After hanging up the phone, Ling Zhenfei fell into deep thought, reflecting on all the formidable figures he had encountered over the past few months, and he couldn't help but feel moved anew.

All of this was thanks to inheriting the legacy of the Medical God. He thought if it had been before, when he was weaker, how could he have been a match for these desperate villains?

As Ling Zhenfei drove away, he was unaware that just as his car had left, two people stepped out from a car parked by the roadside.
