Chapter Thirty-Five: Searching for the Missing Long Tian
"Find the missing Long Tian and protect his life!"
The task box that popped up on the computer screen only had this sentence, and Yi Fan and others were at a loss for what to do. "What's going on? Who is Long Tian and where is he?"
Ye Feng clenched his fists tightly and stared at the line of simple text on the task frame, his mood heavy. "Something happened to Dragon Brother?"
"Boss, I refuse this task! It's absolutely absurd......" Yifan turned his head and shouted at William, then moved the mouse to the dialogue box, ready to reject it, but a low voice came from behind.
"Accept the mission!"
Yi Fan turned his head and saw that the source of the voice was Ye Feng, who had a serious expression on his face, staring intently at the task box on the screen.
"Do you know him?" Yifan asked in a low voice.
"He... was a friend..." Ye Feng's voice trailed off as he recalled the determination on Long Tian's face when he had chased him away that day.
"Then I accept it!" Yi Fan heard Ye Feng say so, and without hesitation, he moved the mouse from refusing the task to accepting the task and clicked confirm.
"C-level mission, it seems that only a few of you can make the move this time, Kirsten and I won't be able to go! Otherwise, we will be judged as abandoning the mission!" William frowned slightly, showing more concern. "If so, then Kari, you'll have to protect Ye Feng and Yi Fan, be extra careful, there are many strong people in China!"
"Don't worry, your friend will be fine! I'll pray for him and all of you. Chris patted Ye Feng's shoulder, "It's just a C-level mission, Kaylee and Yi Fan have done several B-level missions already, it's no challenge for them."
"Thank you," Kristen said, but Yefeng couldn't shake off the feeling of unease that kept creeping up inside him.
"No matter what, be careful, even if it's a C-level task, don't underestimate it!" William remained serious in expression. From his experience, this mission would absolutely not be as simple as it seemed. "China is a mysterious country, and anything can happen that is unpredictable. Moreover, search missions are estimated by task level, with too many uncertain factors, possibly differing greatly from the actual task level."
"Boss, don't worry, we won't be careless. That person is a friend of Ye Feng's, and we'll definitely do our best to complete the task." Yi Fan, as the team's chief military strategist, was also very aware that this task wasn't as simple as it seemed. He had originally been unwilling to accept this task, but since it involved Ye Feng, he couldn't just stand by and do nothing. Moreover, Ye Feng had already seen this task, and if they refused to accept it, Ye Feng might try to take it on himself in secret, which was something Yi Fan didn't want to see happen.
Cary still didn't say anything, just looked at the screen and then looked at Ye Feng, with a flicker of inexplicable emotion in her eyes...
When the three arrived in H City, it was already late evening on the second day. Ye Feng took the two to find a five-star hotel to stay in.
Ye Feng ignored Yi Fan's attempt to drag him into playing games and returned to his own room early, lying on the soft double bed, wanting to fall asleep as soon as possible, but couldn't fall asleep for a long time.
Helpless, he probed his spiritual power into the void.
"Boyi, I don't know why, but after accepting this task, I always feel like something is going to happen, and my heart has been feeling uneasy." Ye Feng confided in Boyi.
"This might be because of excessive concern!" Boyi gave such a reply, "Because you don't want Long Tian to have an accident, so subconsciously you'll worry that he will have an accident, and thus feel uneasy."
"Is that so?" Ye Feng muttered under his breath, and only then did he withdraw his spiritual energy from the virtual domain...
"Sorry, I can't tell you the truth is: your sixth sense has foreseen that something bad is about to happen......" Looking at the tightly closed gate of the virtual domain, Boyi's eyebrows furrowed slightly, as if muttering to himself. "Hope you can get through this ordeal!"
Early in the morning, Ye Feng got up early, and Yi Fan was still in bed as expected.
Kerry had already gone downstairs to have breakfast, and Ye Feng walked over to the table where Kerry was. Before he could sit down, Kerry handed him an A4-sized piece of paper.
Ye Feng took over the paper with some confusion, which was left by Yi Fan for himself:
No need to wake me up early, I spent some time last night helping you look up some information.
The process of Long Tian's disappearance is as follows:
The forces of Long Tian and those of a woman named Pearl have been rubbing against each other for months, finally erupting into large-scale conflict just a few days ago.
It is said that many martial artists and even ability users appeared in this fight, and the scene was a mess. The result of the fight was that both sides suffered heavy casualties, and Dragon Brother disappeared after this incident. The case has been handed over to the Dragon Group for processing...
The current situation of Long Tian is: 1. His life or death is unknown; 2. His whereabouts are unknown, and it's unclear whether he was kidnapped or rescued by someone; 3. Someone is trying to kill him.
Solution: Find Long Tian in the shortest time possible, send him to a safe location or hide him in a hidden place, and find a way to notify relevant personnel to handle follow-up matters.
This time, the one who issued the task is a retired old butler from the Long family in the past. He has been secretly helping Long Tian all along and is now in a precarious situation, having reached a stalemate with the forces behind Zhen Zhu. Any move he makes will be discovered by the other side, so he can only secretly seek our help. The task details are only visible to the issuer and us, and given the security of the Hunter official website, this information will not be intercepted by the other party.
Ye Feng looked at the information provided by Yi Fan and felt a little grateful. Originally, he was still wondering what had happened and wanted to go out to understand it, but Yi Fan had already provided him with complete data on the matter and even offered some feasible solutions.
He picked up a bread and took a bite, then turned to Kelly and said, "Kelly, I'll be going out for a bit later. You stay here and protect Yi who's already asleep!"
Cary looked at Ye Feng with some hesitation, apparently she didn't know who to prioritize protecting in this situation.
"Don't worry, I've been in H city for so many years, I'm just going out for a walk, nothing will happen." Ye Feng smiled and said, "If I really stumble upon something unintentionally, I'll call you and Yi to rush over together!"
Kerry nodded in agreement after hearing Ye Feng say so.
Today's chapter may be a bit late this afternoon, I have something to go out in the afternoon!
