You went on a blind date and presented an A-level wanted criminal as a meeting gift?

The clown stood there blankly, his body like a wax figure that had lost its soul. His signature, twisted smile was completely frozen, replaced by a deathly silence and blankness.

His mental world had been completely blasted into ruins by Lin Chen's domineering reverse sound waves, which had hypnotized him.

He is now just a puppet to be manipulated by others.

Lin Chen slowly put down Ye Qingcheng, who was too shocked to speak from the sudden turn of events, and let her lean against the wall. Then he walked step by step toward the clown.

He showed no pity whatsoever; his gaze was as cold as if he were looking at a lifeless tool.

He walked up to the clown, stretched out his hand, and snapped his fingers lightly in front of his eyes.

"tell me."

Lin Chen's voice was calm, yet it carried an irresistible command that went straight to the depths of the soul.

"What are the control codes for all the bombs on this island?"

The deeply hypnotized clown's body jerked mechanically, his lips parted uncontrollably, and he answered in a completely emotionless, machine-like tone:

"The master control code is... 741258, which is distributed across three locations on the island: the energy center, the communication base station, and the dock. It uses a chain detonation mechanism."

Lin Chen nodded and continued to ask.

"Does the court have any other strongholds in China? Who is your ultimate boss?"

The clown's body trembled slightly, as if subconsciously resisting the question, but Lin Chen's cold gaze swept over him lightly, and all his resistance crumbled.

"……have."

The clown's voice was dry and mechanical.

"The final and deepest arrangement of the court in China is in Jiangcheng."

"The last leader, codenamed 'Prophet'."

"He...he controls the entire underground entertainment network in Jiangcheng City, and even the whole East China region...including casinos, clubs, and...QG trading chain..."

"No one has ever seen his real face. He is like a ghost, living only in the internet and legends."

prophet?

Underground entertainment network?

A knowing glint flashed in Lin Chen's eyes.

He recalled the case of Jin Di International and the girls he had rescued; it turned out that it was just the tip of the iceberg.

Beneath the bustling metropolis of Jiangcheng lies a vast and dark empire of evil.

And this "prophet" was none other than the emperor of the empire.

well.

Lin Chen sneered inwardly; yet another prey had entered his hunting list.

Having obtained all the information he wanted, Lin Chen looked at the clown in front of him, who was now completely useless, with no interest left in his eyes.

Just then, a tiny communicator in his pocket vibrated slightly.

it's time.

Lin Chen took out a device smaller than a remote key from his pocket and pressed the red button on it.

In that instant, the miniature signal repeaters he had installed in five different corners of Siren Island were activated simultaneously!

Five faint signals, under Lin Chen's precise calculations as a [God-level Actuary], converged into a powerful, encrypted pulse signal, breaking through the island's tight signal shield and shooting precisely into the night sky twenty nautical miles away like a sharp arrow!

"Qingge, it's time to close the net."

Lin Chen spoke calmly into the communicator.

"receive."

Su Qingge's voice carried a hint of barely perceptible excitement and worry.

"The Coast Guard rapid response team is expected to land on the island within fifteen minutes. You and General Ye, please be careful!"

"rest assured."

Lin Chen hung up the communication, glanced at the bomb controller embedded in the wall, calmly walked over, and entered the password "741258".

The red warning light on the controller instantly turned into a safe green.

Having done all this, he didn't look at the clown who was like a walking corpse again, and turned back to Ye Qingcheng's side.

Ye Qingcheng leaned against the wall, her icy blue eyes fixed on him without blinking.

In those eyes, there was shock, lingering fear, but even more so, an unprecedented, almost overflowing, adoration and dependence.

From Lin Chen breaking in through the window, to his feigned poisoning, to his thunderous counterattack, and finally his miraculous control of the clown... everything that happened in those few minutes completely overturned her worldview.

She knew Lin Chen was strong, but she never imagined he could be this strong to such an inhuman degree.

"Can you still walk?"

Lin Chen stretched out his hand, his face returning to that lazy, as if nothing had happened.

Ye Qingcheng shook her head. The effects of the nerve gas had not completely subsided, and she felt weak all over, unable to stand up at all.

Lin Chen smiled helplessly, then bent down and easily lifted her up in a standard princess carry.

Ye Qingcheng exclaimed in surprise, instinctively reaching out her arms to tightly hug his neck, burying her face in his broad and warm chest.

She could clearly hear his steady and powerful heartbeat and smell the reassuring scent emanating from him.

At this moment, all the strength and pretense of being the queen of the Ye Group and the icy president completely melted away.

All she wanted was to stay in his arms forever.

Lin Chen carried Ye Qingcheng and strode out of the villa, which was filled with the stench of blood and death.

He didn't head towards the tarmac, but instead walked towards the dock.

Shortly after he carried Ye Qingcheng away from the villa, he took out another miniature remote control from his tactical backpack and activated the pre-set detonation programs at two other locations.

The island's energy center and communication base station were suddenly hit by a series of violent explosions!

Boom! Boom!

The towering flames dyed half the night sky red!

After Lin Chen deactivated the master control password, he manually detonated two of the bombs in the locations.

He wanted to completely erase this island of sin, along with all traces of the Inquisition here, from the map.

Lin Chen stood on the dock, holding the stunningly beautiful woman who had fallen into a deep sleep in his arms. Behind him were towering flames and the roar of explosions, and the sea breeze ruffled the hem of his clothes and the ends of her hair.

There was not a trace of smugness on his face.

He simply gazed in the direction of Jiangcheng, his eyes deep and unfathomable.
