889: Chapter 882: Game Rules!
After receiving the call from Xue Ying, Ye Chenfeng’s face turned stormy, the feeling of being led by the nose made him extremely displeased.
“Chenfeng, who called you?” Sun Xiaoli asked anxiously after seeing the subtle change in Ye Chenfeng’s expression.
It was then that Ye Chenfeng snapped out of it, tapped on the video in his phone, and played the clip for everyone to see, with Sun Xiaoli, Sun Hengfei, and Fang Nanxiang also looking at the phone screen.
On the screen, after a moment of shaking, the image gradually became clear.
Appearing was a teenager around nineteen years old, unconscious with a timed bomb strapped to his body.
At that moment, Xue Ying’s voice sounded in the video, “Ye Chenfeng, I’m delighted you’re willing to play this game with me.
The night you killed Zhan Lang, you moved all your women from Tianhai to Capital City and had them stay with the Yes.
You really left me with no angle to work with.
However, I’ve kidnapped this little brother-in-law of yours.
I assume you won’t want to just watch as the bomb explodes and kills him, right?”
Indeed, the teenager in the video was Wu Jie, Wu Xiaofei’s brother and Ye Chenfeng’s brother-in-law.
Seeing Wu Jie in the video, a rolling Evil Qi poured out of Ye Chenfeng, causing passersby walking near him at the airport entrance to shudder violently.
A few seconds after Xue Ying’s voice disappeared from the video, it emerged once more, “I, Xue Ying, never kill nobodies; they don’t deserve to die by my hand.
Remember our last phone call?
I said you were worthy of me taking action against you – that’s purely because you have shown enough strength.
However, I’m a perfectionist.
Those who died by my hand were not only strong, but their intellect was also extraordinary.
That’s why I’ve prepared a little game just for you, to test your IQ.”
“You see that timed bomb on your brother-in-law?
It’s set with a countdown timer of seventy-two hours – that’s a full three days.
If you can locate me in Tianhai within these three days, you win the game, and I will personally tell you where your brother-in-law is.”
“However, if you fail to find me within these three days, then your brother-in-law will be blasted to pieces.
Of course, I won’t have you flailing about like a headless fly.
The countdown on the bomb will start at midnight tonight.
Starting tomorrow, I’ll give you one clue each day.
If you’re clever enough, these clues alone should suffice to find me.”
“If you don’t care about your brother-in-law’s life, you don’t have to play this game with me.
After this game ends, not only will your brother-in-law be dead, but maybe next time, I’ll start slaughtering Victory Sky Society strongholds in other cities.
Or perhaps I’ll start kidnapping your associates one by one until you agree to play my game.”
“Of course, I, Xue Ying, am a man of my word.
Ye Chenfeng, enjoy the rest of your day!
Because once midnight hits tonight, you’ll wish you could stretch each minute into an hour.
I’m looking forward to you being an opponent with both physical prowess and intelligence, so I can turn you into a true lost soul in my hands.”
Xue Ying’s voice abruptly stopped, and the video turned pitch black.
After watching it, anger surged within Ye Chenfeng, and Sun Xiaoli, Sun Hengfei, and Fang Nanxiang fell into a silent gloom.
How easy could it be to find someone in Tianhai within three days?
Ye Chenfeng pocketed the phone that Xue Ying had sent him, knowing the only course of action was to keep his cool to eventually save Wu Jie.
So, he could not let anger cloud his judgment.
He said to Sun Hengfei and the others, “Let’s find a place to stay first, and today we’ll start by investigating the massacre of the core members of the Victory Sky Society in Tianhai.”
Fortunately, the real start of the death game was not until midnight, so Ye Chenfeng couldn’t afford to waste the day.
Just as Ye Chenfeng and the group were about to hail a taxi to leave, a silver-gray van pulled up in front of them.
A middle-aged, well-dressed fat man stepped out.
Upon seeing Ye Chenfeng, he quickly sycophantically said, “Young Master Ye, it’s really you!
I’m Zhu Maode!
You haven’t forgotten me, have you?”
Back when Ye Chenfeng was in Tianhai, Zhu Maode was the head of the southern district bureau and had helped Ye Chenfeng quite a bit.
Now, thanks to Ye Chenfeng and his own abilities, Zhu Maode had become the head of Tianhai’s police force.
Ye Chenfeng, after a moment of stupefaction, immediately recalled Zhu Maode, and said, “So it is Brother Zhu!
What brings you to the airport?”
Ye Chenfeng needed to investigate the massacre of core members of the Victory Sky Society in Tianhai, and wasn’t Zhu Maode the perfect person to help?
That’s why Chenfeng patiently started a conversation with Zhu Maode.
“Ye Shao, I was here to see someone off at the airport; I never expected to run into you here,” said Zhu Maode warmly as he helped Chenfeng and others open the car doors.
“Please, take a seat in my car.
I know you’re here for matters concerning the Victory Sky Society.
Once we’re on our way, I’ll fill you in on the details and help arrange accommodations for you.”
Once the silver-gray business car started, Chenfeng, who was sitting in the passenger seat, immediately asked, “Brother Zhu, do you know who is responsible for the attack on the Victory Sky Society?”
Zhu Maode, who was driving, showed a look of guilt and said, “Young Brother Ye, it’s not that I don’t want to help, it’s just that we don’t have any solid evidence in our hands.
Based on a series of investigations by the police, the massacre of your Victory Sky Society’s core members seems to be related to the Skull Gang in Tianhai.”
“The Skull Gang is an outfit that was established in Tianhai just in the past six months.
They don’t even measure up to a third-rate gang, and yet, as if a meteor suddenly rose in the sky, they launched a swift attack on the Victory Sky Society’s headquarters last night.
By the time our police forces arrived, the bloody battle was already over, and we had not gathered any evidence against the Skull Gang, so we were unable to take action against them.”
“After the Skull Gang’s inexplicable rise last night, many gangs in Tianhai that previously pledged allegiance to the Victory Sky Society are now either preparing to join the Skull Gang or starting to become restless.
I’m afraid Tianhai’s underworld is about to become unstable again.”
Zhu Maode couldn’t help but sigh heavily as he drove, then continued, “However, Zhang Dafei, the chairman of Tianhai’s Victory Sky Society, might still be alive.
We didn’t find his family’s bodies at the headquarters last night.
I think it’s very likely that they were captured by the Skull Gang.”
When Fang Nanxiang, sitting in the back, heard that the chairman of Tianhai’s Victory Sky Society might still be alive, his eyes lit up instantly.
He was the one who had asked Zhang Dafei to take his place, and they had a very good relationship.
Zhang Dafei was indeed a capable person, which is why Fang Nanxiang, when leaving Tianhai, chose to let Zhang Dafei take the position of chairman of the Victory Sky Society.
Now hearing that Zhang Dafei might still be alive, this indeed seemed like good news for Nanxiang.
“Brother Zhu, where is the Skull Gang’s headquarters located?
I want to go there now,” said Chenfeng in a deep voice.
Zhu Maode replied, “Ye Shao, the Skull Gang took over the Victory Sky Society’s headquarters first thing this morning.
Now their headquarters is the former headquarters of the Victory Sky Society.”
“These bastards from the Skull Gang, they’re really pushing their luck.
Ye Shao, I’m going with you,” said Fang Nanxiang, flames of anger in his eyes.
“We’re both coming too,” Sun Hengfei and Sun Xiaoli also eagerly added.
“Alright, Ye Shao, I’ll take you to the Skull Gang’s headquarters first, and I’ll contact Tianhai’s police as well.
If anything unexpected happens, I’ll have Tianhai’s police ready to step in immediately,” said Zhu Maode without a moment’s hesitation.
