"Jiang Chen, you're awake!" Lin Zhiyan exclaimed with joy.

Blinking, Jiang Chen looked over his body and smiled faintly, "Thank you."

"No need." Facing the awake Jiang Chen, Lin Zhiyan felt even more embarrassed than before and quickly changed the subject, "Perfect timing, there's a message on your phone."

With that, Lin Zhiyan hurriedly took the phone and handed it to Jiang Chen.

Taking the phone, Jiang Chen opened the message and looked.

Thump!

Jiang Chen's face drastically changed, and he sat up straight in bed. Instantly, blood seeped from his exposed arm.

"Jiang Chen, you can't move around like this!" Lin Zhiyan exclaimed with a shock, hastily instructing him.

Jiang Chen turned to look at Lin Zhiyan, his face grim, "Do you know where Ling Tianlin's villa is in the eastern outskirts of Dingjing?"

"That guy's villa? Get off the highway 500 meters at the eastern outskirts highway entrance and drive another 3000 meters, and you'll be there. What's up, why are you asking about this?" Lin Zhiyan asked, puzzled as she looked at Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen threw off the blanket and turned to get out of bed.

"What are you doing? You can't move around, it will tear open your wounds!" Lin Zhiyan urgently tried to stop Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen said sternly, "Ling Tianlin has captured Gong Lin, I must go save her!"

Lin Zhiyan was taken aback and then said anxiously, "But... you are injured now, and I know that place, it's heavily guarded. Going like this, it's impossible for you to rescue anyone!"

"No matter what, I have to go. Gong Lin is my wife and my savior. For her, even if it means death, I must go!" Jiang Chen spoke decisively, pushing Lin Zhiyan away as he got up and walked towards the door.

Lin Zhiyan, having some understanding of Jiang Chen's temper, knew she couldn't stop him. Gritting her teeth, she stepped forward and followed him.

"You don't need to come!" Jiang Chen turned to look at Lin Zhiyan.

Lin Zhiyan glared at Jiang Chen, "Can you drive like this? I'll be fine. Ling Jianghai won't dare to mess with me without being prepared for a fight to the death with my dad. The last incident already angered my dad, and Ling Jianghai doesn't dare to touch me again. Besides, if you die, someone needs to collect your body, right?"

Jiang Chen was slightly taken aback, but then he didn't try to dissuade her any further, nodding slightly, "Alright, just look after your safety. When we get there, I might not be able to look out for you. If you sense danger, leave immediately without worrying about me!"

"Who cares about you." Lin Zhiyan retorted hard and turned to walk toward the door.

Jiang Chen's lips curled up ever so slightly, whispering instructions, "Let's go to my house first, I need to pick something up!"

The pair left the villa, got into the car, and Lin Zhiyan drove Jiang Chen back to his house to retrieve the Tang Sword before speeding off towards the eastern outskirts.

On the way, Jiang Chen thought for a moment and dialed a number.

"Hello, Mr. Jiang!" Shen Zhenguo's voice came through the receiver.

Jiang Chen spoke solemnly, "Old Shen, I've run into some trouble and need help. Could you send Wu Feng and Zhang Qiang to assist me?"

"Of course! Mr. Jiang, is there anything else you need? Just say the word!" Shen Zhenguo's voice conveyed concern through the receiver. He was well aware of Jiang Chen's capabilities – top-notch, with Wu Feng and Zhang Qiang being mere novices in comparison. But now that Jiang Chen was asking for their help, it was clear that the situation was extremely urgent.

"That won't be necessary for now. If I need something, I'll trouble you, Old Shen. Please have them wait for me at the highway entrance to the eastern outskirts. They just need to follow me when I get there," Jiang Chen considered and shook his head, softly giving further instructions.

"Alright!" Shen Zhenguo didn't waste any more words, sensing Jiang Chen's urgency in his voice. He hung up the phone immediately and called Wu Feng and the others.

As the car reached the highway entrance, Wu Feng and Sun Qiang, who were closer, were already waiting there.

"Mr. Jiang." Upon seeing Jiang Chen, Wu Feng and his partner bowed respectfully.

"Thanks for your trouble. Get in the car, quick! Follow us!" Jiang Chen didn't even get out of the car, he called out and immediately urged Lin Zhiyan to drive.

Wu Feng and his partner were taken aback, their expressions tightened, and they quickly turned to get into the car. It was the first time they had seen Jiang Chen so anxious, and a sense of gravity surged in their hearts as they sped after Jiang Chen's car.

After getting on the highway, Jiang Chen briefed Wu Feng and his partner about the situation via phone, and their expressions turned grave. Jiang Chen had helped them a great deal, and now that Gong Lin had been kidnapped, Jiang Chen's request for their help was a sign of trust.

The two silently vowed to help Jiang Chen rescue Gong Lin!

...

Meanwhile, in the villa of Fu Tianlong, another overlord in Dingjing, Fu Tianlong was entertaining a mysterious guest when he received the news of Gong Lin's kidnapping.

"Mr. Zhou, the men we sent are all dead, but that Jiang Chen is still alive. However, Ling Tianlin has kidnapped Jiang Chen's wife and is holding her in his suburban villa. Right now, Jiang Chen is on his way to rescue her!" Fu Tianlong spoke gravely.

Mr. Zhou's eyes lit up, "I'm not surprised our men died, Jiang Chen isn't so easy to deal with. This time was just a probe. But Ling Tianlin's move is indeed a pleasant surprise to me! I'll head over immediately; the Saint Blade should return to our Saint Blade Organization!"

"Then I'll deal with Lin Bingrui's matter with Ling Jianghai first!" A cold glint flashed in Fu Tianlong's eyes.

"Fine, we'll act on both fronts. Once this is over, you'll be the true overlord of Dingjing, and the only one at that!" Mr. Zhou nodded and spoke with a light chuckle.

"Hahaha..."

Fu Tianlong burst into a proud and triumphant laughter.

...

Screech! Screech!

The harsh sound of brakes echoed in front of a solitary villa in the suburbs as Jiang Chen, not even waiting for the car to stop completely, charged out brandishing the Blood Saber.

Click! Click!

Wu Feng and his partner hurriedly got out, following closely behind, while Lin Zhiyan, a step behind, parked the car and raced towards the villa entrance.

"Kid, you finally arrived. Our young master..." At the villa entrance, two men in black suits had already spotted Jiang Chen and sneered at him.

But the answer they received were two flashes of crimson!

Swish! Swish—

The two men in black suits froze there, the sneers stiffening on their faces.

Then, a fine line of blood appeared between their brows, and only after did their bodies slowly collapse, dropping to the ground like boneless worms.

Jiang Chen however, didn't even glance at them. His eyes flashed with a faint bloodlust as he rushed into the villa with the unsheathed Blood Saber in hand, his face expressionless and his blood energy whirling wildly within him.

Both Wu Feng and Zhang Qiang were shocked and followed him into the villa with solemn expressions.

This scene made them realize that Mr. Jiang was truly enraged.

Lin Zhiyan stood there, dumbfounded, gazing at the two lifeless bodies with extreme shock in her heart.

She had never seen Jiang Chen kill at the slightest provocation, and suddenly felt an immense envy for Gong Lin. A thought flashed in her mind: If she were the one kidnapped, would Jiang Chen be this furious?

Regaining her composure, Lin Zhiyan hurried into the villa.
