Chapter 567: Chapter 567: A Map

"We’re merely getting paid to solve problems for others!" Chen Lin said indifferently, "But I think Mr. Jackson should first consider his own situation, as after all, Chen Ningxue disappeared because of your magic, didn’t she?"

"That’s framing!" Jackson roared furiously, "I will definitely not let you go!"

"Why such a temper?" Chen Lin said with a smile, "Right now, the only way out for you is to cooperate with us. Only by doing so can we help clear the suspicions against you!"

Jackson glared at Chen Lin hatefully, then asked, "What do you want to do?"

"The fake Chen Ningxue can only last until tomorrow morning, so we’ll try to leave Yanjing as soon as possible! That’s when we’ll need your ability to distort light!" Chen Lin said with a smile, "That should be easy for you, right?"

Jackson frowned, "So you’re saying, you copied my special ability, but it can last only a very short time, right? That’s why you want me to help you escape Yanjing?"

"Correct, you’re smart to have guessed that," Chen Lin said with a light laugh, "How about it? As long as you help us escape Yanjing, I can guarantee that you’ll get out of this mess without any trouble!"

"Aren’t you afraid I won’t cooperate?" Jackson said coldly, "Do you really believe I’d help you escape?"

Chen Lin responded, "I believe you’re a smart man, who won’t make decisions that could harm him. Of course, if you really want to be clever, we are perfectly capable of killing you and Chen Ningxue and then breaking out! Although that would mean failing our mission, it’s still better than losing our lives!"

Continuing, Chen Lin said to Jackson, "Think about it, but I believe you understand, if you don’t cooperate with us, do you really think you have a chance of getting out alive?"

After saying this, Chen Lin left with his men, leaving a conflicted Jackson behind.

Ling Feng had climbed into the second floor from the outside earlier and made his way to the room where Chen Ningxue was being held.

Seeing Chen Ningxue lying on the bed, sleeping peacefully, he breathed a sigh of relief, as it seemed she hadn’t been harmed.

Just then, the door creaked open, and Ling Feng’s figure flickered as he hid in a corner of the room.

Chen Lin snapped his fingers, and Chen Ningxue slowly opened her eyes, "Where am I? How did I end up here?"

Opening her eyes and seeing the unfamiliar surroundings, Chen Ningxue felt somewhat panicked.

"Miss Chen Ningxue, welcome as our guest!" Chen Lin said with a smile, "Inviting you like this was not our intention. But there’s no helping it; to satisfy our client’s demands, we have to do what our job requires!"

Chen Ningxue quickly calmed herself down, "Who are you people, and why have you kidnapped me?"

Seeing Chen Ningxue regain her composure so quickly, a hint of surprise flashed in Chen Lin’s eyes. Indeed, she was the daring woman who ventured alone into the Middle East; just her courage and mindset were enough to make many men ashamed.

"Miss Chen Ningxue, you should still remember me, right?" At that moment, a Western man pushed the door open, a smug smile on his face, "It’s been half a year, Miss Chen Ningxue, you look even more radiant than before, truly congratulations are in order!"

Seeing the man who came in, Chen Ningxue’s expression changed, "Why is it you? Freyton! You people from the Freedom Organization, you actually dare to step into our Huaxia?"

The man named Freyton was infamously known in the Freedom Organization as the Executioner.

"Miss Chen Ningxue, that makes us very sad to hear!" Freyton said with a smiling face, "You once used to be a guest of our Freedom Organization, and we warmly hosted you, have you forgotten that?"

Chen Ningxue shivered with anger, "Bah, you still claim to be the Freedom Organization? You are Executioners, creators of human tragedies, devils! You even lay your hands on ten-year-old children, you are simply not human!"

Confronting Chen Ningxue’s fury, Freyton was utterly unconcerned, he chuckled, "Miss Chen Ningxue, it’s been so long since we last met, why talk about such unhappy things? Do you know how much time and effort our Freedom Organization spent to find you!"

Chen Ningxue scoffed, "You put so much effort into wanting to kill me, and now that I am in your grasp, you probably want to get rid of me quickly, right?"

Freyton waved his hand, "I think you misunderstood, Miss Chen. Our previous mission wasn’t clearly described, and caused you some trouble, which makes us feel very guilty, so this time I personally came to Huaxia, first to express our apologies to you, and second, for our real purpose! If you could just cooperate with our operation, I guarantee your personal safety!"

Chen Ningxue frowned, "What do you want to know from me?"

Freyton clapped his hands, and Chen Lin waved his hand and left the room with the others, leaving only Chen Ningxue and Freyton in the room. Of course, there was also Ling Feng, hidden nearby, unnoticed by anyone.

"At the time, we didn’t know Miss Chen’s identity, and it caused you certain troubles! Fortunately, Miss Chen was rescued, which relieved some of our guilt!" Freyton smiled, "We just want to know, who exactly was it, that rescued you back then!"

Chen Ningxue’s face held a cold smile, "What? That person destroyed your defense base, so now you’re looking for revenge?"

Freyton smiled lightly, "It was just a small base, if our organization wishes, we could easily establish hundreds more. It didn’t cause any real damage to our organization!"

Pausing for a moment, Freyton said, "Even like your song and MV, I admit they were quite impressive and dealt a big blow to our Freedom Organization, but similarly, our organization actually doesn’t care much about it. You shouldn’t overestimate the power of your song, after all, it’s just a song!"

Chen Ningxue’s expression grew darker.

Freyton continued, "However, at that base, there was a map our organization had obtained through great difficulty! But after those mysterious people attacked, the map disappeared! Since you were the last to encounter those people, our organization has been trying hard to get their information from you!"

"Do you think I’ll tell you?" Chen Ningxue said disdainfully, "But you telling me this news is indeed a delightful surprise! I hope you never find that map!"

Freyton’s expression turned cold, "Miss Chen, I’m here with sincerity right now. If you stubbornly refuse to cooperate, I’ll have to resort to some unconventional means. Then don’t blame us for being inhospitable!"
