Lin Chen investigated the strange virus, prepared Jingwu Hall for a possible counterattack, and confronted Zhou Jingnan about the failed attempt to capture Yu Keyan and the share transfer. After Zhou Jingnan dismissed his concerns, Lin Chen reviewed information about his family and learned that Zhou Changlong lived near Fugui Haoting’s headquarters.

• Yang Shifei told Lin Chen that the patients had gone berserk, seventeen had escaped, and the hospital had called the police.

He then began preparing to pressure Zhou Jingnan over Fugui Haoting by ordering Zhuge Tian to infiltrate its headquarters.

• Lin Chen used his X-ray vision to spot Lu Fei and three other men in an office inside the Lu Family residence, then teleported away without investigating further.

• Lin Chen clung to the ceiling to evade the Vajra squad’s coordinated attack, causing four men to stab one another before he kicked the last uninjured man into a table.

After returning home and sending Liu Mei and Chen Fei to handle their visa, Lin Chen received a call from Zhegu Yang at Jingwu Hall.
