Ling Chen turned his head to look behind him, only to see that He Zhishen had somehow appeared at his back.
"Sorry, I'm a little late." As he spoke, He Zhishen suddenly charged forward, using his own body to slam into Zhu Hong. Hit by the impact, Zhu Hong staggered back several steps. Seizing the opportunity, He Zhishen grabbed Ling Chen and quickly retreated.
Seeing He Zhishen appear, a sliver of hope rose in Ling Chen's heart. He'd thought the man had gone back on his word; he hadn't expected him to show up at this critical moment and save his life.
"Mr. He, I thought you weren't coming."
He Zhishen replied blandly, "You forgot to tell me how to find your companions, so it took me a bit of time."
Hearing this, Ling Chen couldn't help smacking his own forehead. If the other man hadn't brought it up, he really would have forgotten. Looked like this couldn't be blamed on He Zhishen; it was his own fault for not explaining things clearly.
