Ye Chenfeng, who was deep in sleep, was woken up by the noise. Due to not seeing the light for a long time, Ye Chenfeng did not open his eyes immediately, but first blocked the light with his hand before slowly opening his eyes.
As expected, the sight of a well-rested Ye Chenfeng surprised the agents of the Six Fan Sect, they hadn’t expected him to be so spirited after being locked up in a dark cell for five hours. Then, they closed the door again.
"You bastards from Six Fan Sect, stop disturbing my sleep," Ye Chenfeng cursed fiercely.
"How is he doing?" a person with a tall figure and a strong presence asked, with his back turned.
"He’s bouncing around! He doesn’t look like someone who’s been in a dark cell at all!" the agent said in disbelief.
"Oh? Interesting, keep him locked up," the person said.
The agent from the Six Fan Sect, his eyes deep with thought, muttered to himself, "I really don’t know what his background is? He completely overpowered the Sect Leader and the disciples of the Four Great Divine Capturers. He’s really something!"
"Director Yuan, you should form a special investigation team to look into this, and I’ll do my best to get permissions," Su Hang said.
"Boss, no problem, I’ll have Chen Xijun take care of it, she seems to have an idea!" Yuan Zhen said.
After leaving, Su Hang made a call to Chu Qingxue, "Miss Chu, this situation is more serious than I anticipated, you should prepare yourself mentally. This time, even I can’t get close to Chenfeng, but I’ll do my best. Miss Chu, you should also think of some ways!"
Upon receiving Su Hang’s call, Chu Qingxue felt as if the world were collapsing. She had no idea what had happened. What had Ye Chenfeng done to be taken away without reason, and now even Su Hang said he was powerless.
Chu Qingxue became anxious and hurriedly dialed Chu Renkuang’s number to tell him everything that had happened.
Chu Renkuang was clearly shocked and comforted her, "Qingxue, don’t worry. I will think of a way, just wait calmly for now!"
After hanging up the phone, Chu Qingxue then called Chen Xijun, "Captain Chen, can we meet somewhere?"
"Okay!" Chen Xijun did not refuse but agreed immediately.
In the cafe, soft French melodies flowed, but Chu Qingxue’s heart could not calm down, becoming instead increasingly anxious.
"Captain Chen, are you okay?" Upon seeing Chen Xijun arrive, Chu Qingxue noticed her pale, sickly complexion and her extremely poor condition.
Chen Xijun shook her head, "I’m fine!"
"Please sit down, Captain Chen. You probably already know about Ye Chenfeng’s situation, right?" Chu Qingxue got straight to the point.
Chen Xijun nodded, "I know everything! This matter also involves me, to be honest with you, Miss Chu. Ye Chenfeng was arrested because he was trying to save me!"
Shocking words, indeed. Chen Xijun’s revelation truly startled Chu Qingxue.
She could never have imagined that Chen Xijun was involved in the incident, and that Ye Chenfeng had been arrested for trying to save her.
"What exactly is going on, Captain Chen?" Chu Qingxue asked anxiously.
Chen Xijun rubbed her throbbing head and couldn’t help but say, "Miss Chu, it’s not easy to explain everything in a short time. Besides, you’d better not know the people involved. I think you care about results, and I find these processes unimportant. Don’t worry, I will definitely rescue Ye Chenfeng!" In the end, Chen Xijun assured with conviction.
"Okay," Chu Qingxue nodded, now focusing only on the results; having Ye Chenfeng back was more important than anything else.
"Then I’ll have to trouble you, Captain Chen. If there’s any news, please contact me! Thank you!" Chu Qingxue said gratefully.
Chen Xijun quickly replied, "You don’t need to thank me, Miss Chu; after all, I’m also involved in this. Rest assured, I’ll do my best. If there’s nothing else, Miss Chu, I will take my leave now!"
"Sure, goodbye Captain Chen!"
Watching Chen Xijun leave, Chu Qingxue felt somewhat envious.
Although she didn’t know the details, the fact that Ye Chenfeng had been arrested for Chen Xijun was enough to make her envious.
Unknowingly, tears began to twinkle in Chu Qingxue’s eyes.
"Ye Chenfeng, why do you hide everything from me!" Chu Qingxue murmured to herself, her heart aching profoundly.
After leaving the café, Chen Xijun suddenly thought of someone—"Gu Shaoqing."
She dialed his phone, and to her surprise, he answered. This excited her as she was also looking for Ye Chenfeng; she initially thought that the Six Fan Sect’s agents had taken him to Heisha Prison, but a covert message from Heisha Prison indicated that Ye Chenfeng hadn’t been taken there, and now his whereabouts were a mystery.
Chen Xijun was very anxious.
"Hello, it’s me, Chen Xijun!" she said.
"Xijun, is that you?" Gu Shaoqing’s voice clearly carried a hint of surprise.
"Gu Shaoqing, you must know the whereabouts of Ye Chenfeng! I’m telling you, Ye Chenfeng was framed; it wasn’t him who killed Peng Yu. I hope you won’t make it difficult for him until I find the evidence. If you do, Gu Shaoqing, even at the cost of my life, I will seek justice!" Chen Xijun said.
"Xijun, calm down for a moment. My master, Tie Long, is about to arrive in Jiangnan—he’s specifically coming to kill Ye Chenfeng. I can’t stop him for long, I can only give you a day or two at most!" Gu Shaoqing said.
Chen Xijun’s face lit up, "A day or two is enough! Remember what you promised me!" After saying that, Chen Xijun hung up the phone.
"Hello, Xijun... ...beep beep beep..." From Gu Shaoqing’s end there came a series of beeps, and his eyes showed a complex expression.
Although Ye Chenfeng was asleep, he had entered into a dream where he always felt something abnormal in his body, as if something uncontrollable had been implanted within him.
Especially after yesterday’s fierce battle with five agents of the Six Fan Sect, Ye Chenfeng felt the presence of some object in his body that he couldn’t control, which could stimulate his innermost negative emotions.
In the dream, he came to a cave and used six kinds of flame tempering, and this feeling intensified. Perhaps due to the six kinds of flame tempering, Ye Chenfeng felt the location of this thing—in his chest.
Focusing his mind, Ye Chenfeng expelled his breath from the Dantian and began to bombard it with True Qi.
Feeling the surging and tumultuous True Qi repeatedly striking his body, it seemed to activate the internal object, causing a reaction. Ye Chenfeng’s eyes turned blood red, and various negative emotions were stirred, a violent aura constantly spilling out.
With each impact, Ye Chenfeng felt his qi and blood churning. A sweetness at his heart, and then a jet of blood spurted out, leaving an indentation on the iron wall of the small dark room.
