C76 Godly Doctor Xia Was Killed Ann Lan Was Kidnapped!

Half an hour later, the trio arrived at the hospital.

"Huang, meet my little maid, Sun Qing'er, and my younger brother, Chung Yu."

"They'll be working under you from now on."

Lin Chen gestured towards Sun Qing'er and Chung Yu as he introduced them to Huang.

"Hey, Old Huang, you're looking a bit pale. Did you get roughed up for selling fake films?"

Lin Chen paused, observing Old Man Huang's odd expression, and voiced his suspicion.

"Godly Doctor Xia was murdered just ten minutes ago!"

Old Man Huang spoke, his face contorted with distress.

He had sensed something amiss earlier and tried to intervene to save Godly Doctor Xia, only to discover the assailant's terrifying strength.

A single punch had left him injured.

Had it not been for Old Man Huang's quick thinking to cry out for help, he might have been dead already!

"Godly Doctor Xia has been killed?"

Lin Chen's brow creased.

Godly Doctor Xia's visit to A City was primarily to target Old Man Huang and stir up trouble between the Huang and Ann families.

Now that he's been murdered, could it be the work of the power behind him?

"While they were killing Godly Doctor Xia, I caught a few words."

"They said that once Godly Doctor Xia was dead, it would be your and your wife's turn."

Old Man Huang hesitated before sharing his concerns with Lin Chen.

He believed that the force targeting Lin Chen and Ann Lan was simply because Godly Doctor Xia had failed to kill him.

With this in mind, Old Man Huang couldn't help but feel a twinge of guilt towards Lin Chen.

"Ding ling ling."

The phone in Lin Chen's pocket rang just as Old Man Huang finished speaking.

Lin Chen pulled out his phone to see a call from Sun Lili. His heart sank, and a sense of dread washed over him.

"Lin Chen, Lanlan is missing!"

Sun Lili's voice came through the phone, frantic with urgency.

"The crazy woman is missing?"

"Secretary Sun, what exactly are you saying?"

Lin Chen's face darkened, his voice shaking with emotion.

His enemies were not just the Sun and Zhao families, but also the shadowy force behind Godly Doctor Xia.

No matter which faction was involved, Lin Chen couldn't bear to think about the consequences if anything were to happen to Ann Lan.

"Lanlan went to the restroom an hour ago. I didn't think much of it then," said Lili.

"But when I realized something was off, I checked all the company's restrooms and surveillance footage and there was no sign of Lanlan anywhere," Sun Lili reported to Lin Chen with candor.

"Understood," Lin Chen replied before hanging up. A terrifying aura of dread and intense murderous intent radiated from him.

If harm came to Ann Lan, the Zhao family, the Sun family, and the power behind Godly Doctor Xia would pay dearly—none would find peace in death.

The phone chimed.

As Lin Chen was preparing to confront the Sun and Zhao families, a text message arrived.

"Want your wife and child to live? Come to the top floor of Ann's Group immediately!" it read.

"The rest, I'll instruct you when you get there!"

Rather than despair, Lin Chen felt a surge of relief upon reading the message. If they were targeting him, it meant Ann Lan and his daughter were still safe—for now.

"Get in the car, we're heading to Ann's Group now!" Lin Chen commanded, sparing no time for discussion. He floored the accelerator, and the car roared off like a metallic beast charging into the fray.

They quickly reached the vicinity of Ann's Group.

"Huang, Qing'er, Chung, stay on standby here," Lin Chen instructed.

"Once I locate our adversaries, that's when you move in."

After issuing his orders, Lin Chen parked the car and the trio disembarked. He then restarted the engine and sped towards Ann's Group.

Across from Ann's Group, within a towering skyscraper, Sun Xiangfeng gazed at Ann Lan, bound to a chair.

His face twisted with madness, he taunted, "My dear niece, when Lin Chen arrives at the rooftop of Ann's Group's building, do you think he'll jump if I tell him to?"

Ann Lan's face was ashen, her body quivering slightly. Yet, she mustered her composure and defiantly assured Sun Xiangfeng, "He won't jump. Because the child I'm carrying isn't his!"

Ann Lan was acutely aware of the Sun family's deep-seated animosity towards Lin Chen and her own family; they would never let them off the hook easily.

If they were to die here today, Lin Chen could at least avenge them.

But if Lin Chen were to die, the vindictive Sun family would never spare her or her child.

"Why does he care so much about you if the child isn't his?"

"Lanlan, don't take your uncle for a fool!"

Sun Xiangfeng scoffed.

"Lin Chen and I are bound by nothing more than a contract."

"Our marriage itself is under contract. If you don't believe me, go check the safe in my office."

Ann Lan returned to her usual icy demeanor, explaining without a trace of emotion to Sun Xiangfeng.

Seeing Ann Lan's unwavering assertion, Sun Xiangfeng couldn't suppress a laugh.

"Whether he's willing to jump off a building for you and your child, well, that's something we'll have to test."

"Besides, with Elder Mo here, even if Lin Chen doesn't jump, he's a dead man either way!"

Ann Lan's attention followed Sun Xiangfeng's gaze to the white-haired elder in the corner.

He sat nonchalantly in a chair, sipping tea, while two scantily clad girls attended to his shoulders and back.

This elder was the enigmatic figure behind Sun Qing'er.

"Do you know who Elder Mo is?"

"He's a towering figure in the Cultivation World's alchemy circles. At his behest, legions of cultivators would vie to eliminate Lin Chen."

Sun Xiangfeng's voice rose with excitement at the mention of Elder Mo.

He inwardly praised his father's swift and decisive action. Had he not killed Sun Qing'er in time to pin the blame on Lin Chen, would Elder Mo have ever agreed to assist them?

"Niece, your husband has made it to the rooftop of Ann's Group."

After spotting Lin Chen through his binoculars, Sun Xiangfeng sealed Ann Lan's lips with tape.

He then pulled out his phone and dialed Lin Chen.

"Lin Chen, remember me?"

Sun Xiangfeng glanced at his bandaged, severed arm and spoke to Lin Chen in a haunting tone.

"Sun Xiangfeng?"

"If you don't release my wife and child today, the Sun family will be erased from A City!"

Lin Chen's voice was icy as he confronted Sun Xiangfeng on the rooftop of Ann's Group.

His eyes activated the Magical Third Eye, sweeping the area continuously.

Sun Xiangfeng had summoned him to the rooftop, and he, along with Ann Lan, were somewhere close by.

How else could he threaten him and witness such a captivating spectacle?

"You want my Sun family to vanish from A City?"

"Quite the bold claim!"

Sun Xiangfeng's anger turned to mocking laughter.

He held the lives of Ann Lan and her son in his hands, and yet Lin Chen dared to be so brazen. He clearly didn't understand the gravity of his situation.

"Lin Chen, if you don't want to see your wife and child die by my hand, you'd best jump from this rooftop now!" Sun Xiangfeng declared, initiating a video call.

On the screen, Ann Lan was bound to a chair, looking disheveled and distressed.

Lin Chen's gaze grew even icier.

"Sun Xiangfeng, I'm curious. Aren't you concerned that kidnapping my wife could lead to the downfall of the Sun family?"

Lin Chen was stalling, his eyes scanning the vicinity.

"Hahaha, Lin Chen, you amuse me."

"In the past, such a threat might have worried our Sun family."

"But your fatal mistake was killing Sun Qing'er!"

Sun Xiangfeng's laughter was tinged with madness.

"Sun Qing'er?"

"That explains your audacity."

"So, the power behind her has finally shown itself."

Lin Chen let out a cold laugh and added, "Too bad for you, I've already rescued Sun Qing'er!"

"When she reveals the truth about Old Master Sun's attempt on her life, your Sun family will be in deep trouble, won't they?"

At Lin Chen's words, Elder Mo's wandering hands on the two girls beside him came to an abrupt halt.

His piercing gaze fixed on Sun Xiangfeng.

Elder Mo, a titan of alchemy, was no fool.

If Sun Qing'er was indeed alive, then Old Master Sun had not only lied to him but had also manipulated him.

"Elder Mo, pay no mind to this fool's drivel."

"Sun Qing'er was slain by Lin Chen. Dozens from the Sun family witnessed it."

Sun Xiangfeng, under Elder Mo's icy stare, felt sweat bead on his forehead, yet he remained outwardly calm.

Despite the chaos around him, not a hint of panic showed on his face. His faith in his father's prowess was unshakeable; he knew that with his father's full-force strike, the defenseless Sun Qing'er had no chance of survival.

"Lin Chen, do you really think you can drive a wedge between us with such tactics?" he scoffed. "How utterly naive!"

"Listen up—if you don't take that leap off the building this instant, I swear I'll end your wife and child right here, right now!"

Sun Xiangfeng watched as Elder Mo's intense gaze softened, and without missing a beat, he whipped out a short blade and pressed it firmly against Ann Lan's throat.
