137: Chapter 137 Rescuing Family, Jack's Heart Returns Home

Li Wei pushed open the door, and the room was in a complete mess.

The wooden door was pushed open slowly, and a chaotic atmosphere rushed out to meet them. The sofa in the living room was overturned on the floor, the coffee table was shattered, cups and books were scattered everywhere, the curtains were pulled askew, and faint footprints remained on the floor; clearly, a disturbance had just occurred. Light shone through the gaps in the windows, casting mottled shadows on the messy furniture, creating an atmosphere of tension and unease. Li Wei's eyes sharpened, and he signaled his team members to follow closely. His fingertips gripped the police baton at his waist tightly, his footsteps were extremely light, and he vigilantly scanned every corner of the room, not daring to breathe loudly.

"Don't move!" Li Wei's voice rang out suddenly, sharp and firm. His gaze locked onto the bedroom doorway—two men wearing black jackets were holding a middle-aged woman and a little girl. They looked sinister, holding short knives against the woman's neck. The little girl was trembling all over, clutching the woman's hem tightly, tears streaming down her face.

The two men were the ones John had sent. Seeing Li Wei and the others break in, their expressions instantly turned grave, yet they refused to let go. One of the men gritted his teeth and roared, "Be sensible and get out immediately! Otherwise, we will hurt them!"

Li Wei did not retreat in the slightest. He stepped forward slowly, his eyes as sharp as knives, his tone cold: "Let them go and surrender, otherwise don't blame us for being impolite! John can't even protect himself now; following him will only lead you to your own deaths!" While speaking, he quietly signaled his team members to flank from both sides and wait for an opportunity to rescue them.

"Stop talking nonsense!" The other man glared fiercely, tightening his grip even more. The short knife pressed tightly against the woman's neck, leaving a faint red mark. "We only listen to Master John's orders. Even if we have to risk our lives today, we will take them away!"

Just then, one of the team members took advantage of the opponent's lack of preparation and rushed forward quickly, punching the man holding the little girl in the face. The man groaned in pain and let go. Seeing this, Li Wei immediately rushed forward, sidestepping the other man's attack, grabbed his wrist in a reverse grip, and twisted it hard. The short knife clattered to the floor. The man screamed in pain, was kicked to the ground by Li Wei, and was tied up.

The whole process was as fast as lightning; in just a few dozen seconds, the two men in black were completely subdued. Li Wei walked quickly to the middle-aged woman and the little girl, his tone softening with a hint of concern: "Ma'am, little one, are you okay?"

The middle-aged woman sighed in relief, holding the little girl, her voice trembling slightly: "We are fine, thank you, young man. It's a good thing you arrived in time." The little girl looked up, gazing at Li Wei with teary eyes, and whispered, "Thank you, uncle."

Li Wei smiled and waved his hand, his tone firm: "You're welcome, this is what we should do. Rest assured, we are here to protect you, and John's people will not hurt you again." He immediately took out his phone and dialed Lin Chen's number, his tone crisp: "Brother Chen, Jack's family has been found and safely rescued. We have subdued the two people John sent, and we are now preparing to take them back to the company."

On the other end of the line, Lin Chen's calm voice came through: "Good, well done, Li Wei. Be careful on the way, be sure to protect their safety, and don't let any mishaps occur. We will wait for you at the company."

"Understood, Brother Chen!" Li Wei hung up the phone, arranged for his team members to watch the subdued men in black, and then helped the middle-aged woman and protected the little girl as they carefully walked out of the apartment toward the car. Along the way, he remained vigilant, observing the surroundings for any movement, fearing that there might be more of John's accomplices in ambush. His qualities of alertness and boldness were fully displayed.

Meanwhile, in the lounge of Chenxing Investment, the atmosphere remained somewhat heavy. Jack sat on the sofa, his hands clenched into fists, his brows tightly furrowed. His eyes were full of worry, and he looked toward the door from time to time, unable to sit still, muttering to himself: "Why is there still no news? Nothing happened to them, right?"

Lin Chen sat beside him, holding a cup of warm water, and handed it to Jack, his tone calm and gentle: "Don't worry, Li Wei is efficient; he will definitely protect your family's safety. There will be news soon." His eyes were firm, and his words carried a reassuring power, attempting to alleviate Jack's anxiety.

Jack took the water cup but didn't drink, just holding it tightly in his hands, his voice choked with emotion: "Brother Chen, I'm really worried about them. That man John is capable of anything, I'm afraid..."

"Believe in me, and believe in Li Wei." Lin Chen interrupted him, his tone firm: "Since we promised to protect your family, we will definitely do it; we won't let them suffer any harm. Moreover, we have evidence of John's violations in our hands. As long as the timing is right, we can completely take him down. By then, you and your family will be able to rest easy."

Jack nodded, the worry in his eyes easing slightly, but he was still restless, his gaze never leaving the door. Ella stood to the side, watching Jack's anxious appearance, her tone softening as well: "Jack, don't worry too much. Li Wei and his team are all professionally trained; dealing with a few of John's subordinates is more than enough. They will bring your family over soon."

Just then, the office door was pushed open, and Li Wei walked in, supporting the middle-aged woman and protecting the little girl, followed by his team members who were escorting the two subdued men in black. Seeing his family, Jack's eyes brightened instantly. He immediately stood up, rushed over, and hugged the middle-aged woman and the little girl, his voice choked: "Mom, daughter, are you okay? You scared me to death!"

"Son, we're fine, we're fine." The middle-aged woman hugged Jack, and tears couldn't help but fall, "Thanks to these young men and President Lin and the others, otherwise we..."

Li Wei stepped forward and said with a smile: "Brother Jack, your family is fine now, they are all safe. We have subdued these two people John sent and brought them back for you and Brother Chen to deal with."

Jack let go of his family, turned around, and bowed deeply to Lin Chen, his eyes red and his voice choked: "Brother Chen, thank you, thank you for saving my family, thank you for always believing in me. If it weren't for you, I really wouldn't know what to do. Brother Chen, I will follow you from now on!" His tone was firm, his eyes full of gratitude. At this moment, he had completely let down his guard; he no longer had the slightest doubt about Lin Chen and was completely devoted.

Lin Chen hurriedly stepped forward, helped Jack up, his tone gentle and firm: "Get up quickly, Jack, there is no need for this. Since you have decided to join Chenxing Investment, we are a family. Your family is our family; protecting them is what we should do."

Jack stood up, wiped the tears from his face, and said with a firm tone: "Brother Chen, I have already decided. I will join Chenxing Investment tomorrow. I will hand over all the resources in my hands, as well as all the secrets I know about John, to the company. I will cooperate with you fully to completely take down John, and I will never betray your trust!"

Lin Chen looked at Jack's determined eyes, a look of approval appearing on his face, and his tone was solemn: "Good, welcome to Chenxing Investment. Rest assured, I will not treat you unfairly. After you join, I will give you full decision-making power to be in charge of investment banking-related business. I believe in your ability, and I believe you can help Chenxing Investment reach a higher level."

"Thank you, Brother Chen!" Jack's voice was full of gratitude, his eyes flashing with a firm light. "I will definitely not let you down! By the way, Brother Chen, I have one more thing to tell you." He paused, his expression becoming grave. "When I was being held by John's people, I accidentally heard them talking about John plotting a new move. It seems like he is cooperating with Global Capital to launch a big project. They didn't go into detail about what specific project it is, but it sounds like it would be a huge threat to us, Chenxing Investment."

Lin Chen's brows furrowed instantly, a flash of sharpness in his eyes, and his tone was calm: "Global Capital? It seems they still haven't given up and want to continue targeting us. It doesn't matter. As long as we prepare in advance and grasp their movements, we will definitely be able to crush their conspiracy." He turned to look at Ella, his tone decisive: "Ella, arrange for people immediately to focus on investigating the recent movements of John and Global Capital, especially their so-called 'new move.' Be sure to find out the specific details as soon as possible."

"Understood, President Lin, I will go arrange it right now." Ella nodded immediately, turned, and walked quickly out of the lounge, efficient and straightforward.

Lin Chen looked at Li Wei again, his tone serious: "Li Wei, take these two men in black to the interrogation room and interrogate them properly. Ask them exactly what John's new move is, and also John's current whereabouts. Be sure to get useful clues. Also, arrange for people to protect the safety of Jack's family 24 hours a day; there cannot be any mishaps."

"Understood, Brother Chen!" Li Wei nodded immediately, took his team members and escorted the men in black, and walked quickly out of the lounge.

In the lounge, the atmosphere gradually eased. Jack accompanied his family, patiently comforting his frightened daughter. A long-lost smile appeared on his face, and the anxiety and worry in his eyes completely dissipated, replaced by gratitude and determination. He knew he hadn't chosen the wrong person; following Lin Chen would not only allow him to take revenge but also give him a better future.

Lin Chen watched the scene before him, a gentle smile appearing on his face. He knew that Jack's allegiance would not only bring more resources and clues to Chenxing Investment but also add another layer of strength to their path in fighting against John and Global Capital. What they needed to do next was to find out John's new move as quickly as possible and make full preparations to meet the upcoming challenges.

Early the next morning, the office area of Chenxing Investment was bustling with activity. Jack, wearing a brand-new suit, walked into the company with high spirits and a confident smile on his face, accompanied by Lin Chen and Ella, ready to officially complete his entry procedures. When the employees saw Jack, they greeted him enthusiastically, and the atmosphere in the entire office area seemed exceptionally harmonious.

Just as Jack was about to enter the Human Resources Department to complete his entry procedures, the office door was suddenly pushed open violently. Several men wearing black suits rushed in with sinister expressions, holding clubs, and charged toward Jack, Lin Chen, and the others, cursing as they came: "Jack, you traitor, Master John sent us to deal with you!"

Lin Chen's eyes sharpened, and he immediately blocked in front of Jack. Li Wei and his team also arrived in time, blocking in front of everyone with vigilant expressions. The smile on Jack's face vanished instantly, and a flash of anger crossed his eyes—on the very day Jack was joining the company, John had sent people to cause trouble.
