Chapter 45: Hostage Crisis

  "What's wrong? Why ask like this?" Bo Yi looked at Ye Feng with some curiosity.

  "The values that have just been detected are different from before the upgrade, although they are only slightly different. How is it possible that all my values have increased a bit in such a short period of time?" Ye Feng's face was full of disbelieving expressions.

  "This is not impossible, you should know that compared to your growth rate, the time you've spent at the peak of acquired realm is already long enough. When you enter the innate realm, your strength will have a period of rapid growth. It's just that your growth spurt seems to be coming too fiercely." Bo Yi smiled and said.

  "It sounds like good news." Ye Feng raised an eyebrow after hearing what Bo Yi said.

  "What are you planning to do now, still following the original plan and fighting them desperately? I don't think it's necessary, with the secret recipe in hand, your future is boundless, no need to take this risk." Bo Yi had his hands in his pockets, looking like a little adult compared to his appearance.

  "I originally planned to push that woman to a dead end, then sneak into the building where they were when she was at her weakest, and force him to reveal the person behind the scenes. Then I'll go after the troublemaker behind the scenes." Ye Feng removed the detector that had been improved again.

  "What about now? You're not still thinking of that rotten idea, are you?" Boyi tilted his head to look at Ye Feng and shrugged.

  "Now... now I have plenty of time, I'll accompany her and play with her... find an opportunity when she's alone, kidnap her, and force her to tell me what I want to know. I can cultivate the 'Martial Dictionary' while investigating her movements, it won't be boring..." Ye Feng said, walking towards the entrance of the Void Domain, "I'll come over again when I have time, these next few days will probably be busy."

  "Go ahead, just don't get killed!" Boyi pulled out his right hand from his pocket and waved it at Ye Feng.

  "Don't worry about it......" Ye Feng sighed and shook his head, pushing open the large door at the exit and leaving.

  "Did all these cases occur in the United States?" Pearl, dressed entirely in black, picked up the documents on the table.

  "That's right, that's all we have that meets your requirements. From the US side, we got very limited information." The middle-aged man with a honest face nodded and said. "According to internal sources, these cases were done by a hunter named Dao Feng, his methods are very unique, completely different from others."

  "For four months, all the cases were non-human related and they were all hunter's tasks. The fatal spot was also the same, right between the eyebrows. In other words, the guy who attacked us is a hunter." Pearl spread out the photos on the table, looking at the lethal bullet holes on the non-human heads.

  "For the past four months, there has been no unusual activity on Long Tian's side, and I haven't heard that any of his trusted subordinates went to New York in the US." Jingzhu furrowed her brow, "However... Ye Feng just happened to have disappeared four months ago... which means that the gunman is very likely to be him..."

  After Pearl drew this conclusion, a fierce glint flashed in her eyes. "He must have known about Long Tian's death and is seeking revenge... If Long Tian was so important to you, then your dormitory brothers should be even more important!"

  "Those young people are innocent, you shouldn't drag them into this. You and Ye Feng have a personal grudge, besides, everything is just your inference, that person may not necessarily be him." The middle-aged man's eyebrows slightly furrowed.

  "It's nothing, I just took them as hostages to lure Ye Feng out and then take him down. As for those students, after it's all over, I'll let them go." Pearl raised an eyebrow and glanced at the middle-aged man in front of her.

  "I'll be there," said the middle-aged man with a firm gaze. "Watching you let them go!"

  "Mind your own business," Pearl said coldly, staring at the middle-aged man. "If you're not satisfied with me, you can either arrest me impartially or leave me alone. I've never forced you to do anything, so please don't point fingers at me. You can continue being the beloved Deputy Director of Public Security, and I can be a crazy woman freely."

  "I must be present, and you must fulfill your promise today, let those children leave!" The middle-aged man did not back down at all.

  "Alright, have it your way!" After a brief standoff, Pearl gave in.

  "Amu, tonight, bring everyone from their dormitory over! Alive!" Pearl shouted to someone beside her.

  "Yefeng has been gone for four months and hasn't even called back, will he have forgotten about us?" Dormitory lao ba lay lazily on the lower bunk, drawing circles on the upper bunk's bed board with his finger.

  "He must be quite busy, and there's a time difference between the US and us, when we're having our day, he's sleeping, and when we're at night, he's working. So he didn't have time to call!" Dorm leader Xu Qiang shook his head with a smile.

  "Excuse me, was this Ye Feng's dormitory before?" Just as Xu Qiang and others were discussing Ye Feng, a knock on the door came from the entrance, and a young man who looked like an upperclassman stood at the dormitory door.

  "That's right, he has dropped out of school. What do you want to find him for?" Xu Qiang pulled back the old six who was about to walk over and looked vigilantly at the young man at the door.

  "It's like this, just now when I came back from outside, there was a boy at the school gate who said his name was Ye Feng and that he was in your dormitory. He was stopped by the security guard..."

  "How come he didn't call us?" Xu Qiang took out his mobile phone and found no missed calls, then looked at the others, who all shook their heads.

  "He said he left his mobile phone in the hotel and just wanted to come back and see you guys, but the security guard wouldn't let him in," the young man explained. "Do you want to go down and take a look?"

  "Thank you, we'll go right away!" Xu Qiang saw that the young man didn't make any unusual moves and just stood at the door without coming in, so he relaxed his vigilance.

  "That's all I have to say, I'll leave first!" The young man turned and left.

  "Boss, is it true that Ye Feng has really come back or is it a trap set by the organization that's been chasing him?" Dormitory Old Eight looked at Xiang Qiang.

  "This is what we want to know, it's simple. First, let's find a place to use binoculars and take a look. If the person standing at the door isn't Ye Feng, then we'll call the police. If it's confirmed to be him, then we'll go over." After going through the last incident, Xu Qiang and others had become much more cautious.

  A group of people came out of the dormitory building and hid quietly behind a teaching building not far from the school gate. Xiang Qiang took out his binoculars and looked towards the school entrance.

  "How is it, boss? Is it Ye Feng?" The others couldn't help but ask.

  "It looks like he's talking to the security guard from behind, can't see his face." Xu Qiang shook his head.

  "Let me see!" Eldest brother snatched the binoculars, "He's turned his head, let me take a look... It really is Ye Feng, he's back from America?"

  "Let me see!" The binoculars were in Lao Ba's hands, "It really is him! It seems that the things that happened a few months ago made the security side more cautious, and it's estimated that they won't let him in easily. Let's go over there instead!"
