Ye Fan and the other two silently entered the apartment.
Han Bihong knew where the others lived, so it was effortless for her to break into each target’s room.
When K members opened the door, they were greeted by Ye Fan’s fists; one punch each, knocking them all out cold.
Quickly, the other K members were all taken down. There was a fight during this time, but none were a match for Ye Fan.
After subduing the nine beautiful women including K2, the three did not hesitate and moved toward K1’s possible residence. They searched all rooms K1 might be staying in but found nothing; K1 was nowhere to be seen.
In one of the rooms, they found ropes on the window, suggesting K1 had escaped.
"Dammit, to think that Japanese woman got away," Zhang Lu said angrily. They had gone through so much effort with the ultimate goal of capturing Red Skull, and now the only person who knew Red Skull’s whereabouts escaped right under their noses. How could they not be angry?
"The more traces she leaves, the closer we are to capturing Red Skull." Ye Fan said lightly.
"The commotion we caused was small, so logically, she shouldn’t have detected anything in advance," Han Bihong frowned, puzzled by how K1 noticed something was off. She also harbored intense hatred for K1 and was unwilling to see this killer escape so easily.
"Perhaps their expert hacker discovered my intrusion into the apartment system, which alerted K1," Ye Fan analyzed. He couldn’t think of any other possibilities.
"What hacker expert? Could it be that Red Skull has a hacker expert by their side?" Han Bihong was unaware of this.
Zhang Lu said helplessly, "Let’s not talk about this anymore. It’s not like we didn’t gain anything. We’ve captured all of Red Skull’s key subordinates; capturing Red Skull is only a matter of time."
For Han Bihong’s question, neither Ye Fan nor Zhang Lu explained further. It’s understandable; only K1 among the K members knew Red Skull’s identity, underscoring Red Skull’s cautiousness. Having a hacker expert by their side naturally was a secret. Red Skull was so deeply hidden, running a vast human trafficking network, highlighting the complexity and cunning of Red Skull’s methods.
After Nagatani Meiaki discovered the apartment’s system was breached, she quickly determined that it was Ye Fan’s handiwork. Associating this with the exposed apartment, she urged K1 to withdraw as quickly as possible, avoiding becoming a prisoner after encountering Ye Fan. For Red Skull’s safety, this was a necessary action.
The facts proved that Nagatani Meiaki’s caution wasn’t redundant but very wise.
If K1 encountered Ye Fan, the outcome would be predictable; K1 would definitely not be a match.
K1 also knew the importance of her mission, so she fled without even warning others.
In the hall, after a while, Zhang Lu and Han Bihong gathered the knocked-out K members together.
After some effort, they tied up the nine individuals.
"It’s up to you now," Zhang Lu gestured for Ye Fan to act quickly, employing his miraculous medical skills to help them recall their childhoods.
At this moment, Han Bihong’s eyes were still filled with shock. The process of knocking others out was simple and brutal, completely seamless, as K2 and others were all easily knocked out.
"His skills, I don’t know to what extent they are powerful. I’ve never seen someone as formidable as him," Han Bihong said in astonishment, her expression toward Ye Fan changing unconsciously.
The nine people, like Han Bihong, all grew up at the training base, where they were life-and-death rivals until they survived among millions, going through countless life-and-death situations, forming the current twelve K members.
Since the formation of the twelve K members, they became a team, with only K1, that Japanese woman, being assigned by the Blood Rose Organization. The other members were girls taken from Huaxia.
Taking advantage of the nine being unconscious, Ye Fan applied the Divine Acupoint Method. For each person, they were awakened by the stimulation of pain.
An hour later, the nine people sat on the ground like puppets, dazed.
Among the nine, some were despondent, others bewildered and lost, and some, like Han Bihong, were clamoring for revenge.
All nine, without exception, remembered their pasts, now filled with killing intent and anger.
Han Bihong patiently counseled on the side until the nine gradually calmed down, learning they wouldn’t die at the hands of the organization, and could visit the relatives they feared seeing yet eagerly wanted to see. The nine women calmed down, seeing Ye Fan as their savior like Han Bihong.
They didn’t know what Zhang Lu’s organization intended to do with Ye Fan, but there was certainly something unknown. However, Ye Fan was the one who could control their lives and destinies, and more importantly, helped them remember who they were—this debt was immense.
Nagatani Meiaki woke up the resting Red Skull.
Red Skull’s alluring body, faintly visible under the thin nightgown.
At this moment, she frowned deeply, knowing something must have happened; otherwise, Nagatani Meiaki wouldn’t disturb her.
"What is it?" Red Skull asked with a stern face.
"The apartment has been compromised; I’ve already ordered K1 to retreat," Nagatani Meiaki explained based on her analysis, "In my view, K8 betrayed us, leading Ye Fan to the apartment. I’ve seen Ye Fan’s hacking skills, so I’m certain. After Ye Fan breached the apartment system, I noticed something was off. Now, I’m unaware of the apartment’s situation, likely implying they’re in grave danger."
"Could K8 betray us?"
"Will my trusted aides be completely lost? How will I manage in the future?"
Red Skull’s face turned pale, as if struck by lightning. These impossibilities suddenly manifested, overwhelming her, with her mind buzzing.
"Ye Fan, Ye Fan, it’s him, again," Red Skull fumed, her delicate face frosty, with murderous intent like a sword.
Blaming now was pointless. In a hurry, she asked, "Is there news of K1?"
As long as K1 escaped, her identity wouldn’t be at risk of exposure.
In an instant, Nagatani Meiaki’s face brightened, for she received a message from K1, "K1 is very safe; the others are unknown."
"Ye Fan, I will grind you to dust, tear you limb from limb," Red Skull was slightly assured but brimming with murderous intent towards Ye Fan. Her entire being was seething with intense killing intent.
