On the way home, Lin Chen made a phone call to Ning Xiuzhu, mentioning his plan to go out for a bit.
After understanding the situation, Ning Xiuzhu readily agreed.
Although he currently controls the lives of Lin Chen and the others, he does not treat them as his slaves but as future collaborators.
As for why he didn't directly remove the shackles from their necks, isn't that just a precaution?
Ning Xiuzhu, while righteous, is definitely not some naive good person.
He aims to complete the bone tempering research, and before that, he must control Lin Chen to ensure cooperation, and after finishing the research, he will naturally return their freedom.
For the moment, the shackles on their necks do not restrict their abilities much. At most, they serve as a locator, allowing Ning Xiuzhu to know their whereabouts.
Ning Xiuzhu has a thorough understanding of the strength of Lin Chen and the others.
